Lu Zhengxiang remembered that he had previously told Commander Fu that he wanted to postpone the promotion.
But who knew that promotion would come so quickly.
"Just now, just now Commander Fu asked his guard to inform me, and let me inform you, Lu Tuan."
Although Su Liming didn't know why he didn't want to attend the promotion ceremony so soon, he must have his reasons for not wanting to.
"Promotion? Is it because of this mission?"
Ruan Suhe only now knew that he was going to be promoted, and was a little confused.
Lu Zhengxiang then remembered that he had not yet told her about his promotion, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Um... yes, originally this mission was completed by accident, and I didn't really want to attend the promotion ceremony so soon."
"Why not? Zhengxiang, this is a task you completed with your own ability. Taking part in the promotion ceremony also demonstrates your ability from another perspective."
...
...
The meaning of what Ruan Suhe said was not just superficial, but a deeper meaning that only Lu Zhengxiang could understand.
Su Liming stood between the two people, looking left and right, somewhat confused.
"Tuan Lu, I have delivered Commander Fu's message, I will be leaving now."
Su Liming looked at the situation and thought that the two people seemed to be planning to have a deeper conversation, so he planned to slip away quickly to avoid being an eyesore.
When he left, he was particularly considerate and closed the gate. He was very proud of himself and felt that he was very smart.
"Su He, don't you think..."
"I don't think so. I know you don't want to rush to prove yourself, but since the commander has decided to let you participate in the promotion ceremony, it will definitely not do any harm."
Before Lu Zhengxiang could finish his words, Ruan Suhe interrupted him and expressed his own opinion.
"It is very likely that this is an opportunity."
They both knew what this opportunity was. After all, it was not easy to enter the Fu family.
After listening to her analysis, Lu Zhengxiang no longer had the initial resistance and nodded, "I will attend."
Soon, the promotion ceremony took place as scheduled. Lu Zhengxiang's legs had recovered to the point where he could walk normally. However, he still limped a little occasionally, which was not noticeable unless you looked carefully.
What Ruan Suhe didn't expect was that she was also invited to this ceremony...
So, the two of them walked into the synagogue together.
At first glance, the hall was decorated quite festively, with big red silks tied together in balls in the center of the stage, swaying slowly.
Until he sat down on the chair, Ruan Suhe didn't know why he was invited.
Wait until the leaders have restored the military ranks to all promoted soldiers.
The host then began to announce some of the staff members who would be honored next.
Only then did Ruan Suhe realize that she might have been listed among the commended persons because of her successful negotiations with foreign friends?
Soon, her idea was verified. The next minute, she heard her name and walked onto the stage with other honorees.
However, her commendation was a little different from others. In addition to the commendation certificate, she also received a certificate of appointment.
Only then did Ruan Suhe realize that the specially appointed foreign language assistant professors of the University of Tokyo also had to be announced to the public in this way.
She stood on the stage, listening to the applause from the audience, her thoughts drifting away.
In a trance, she dared to believe that all her current achievements were achieved by her step by step.
After the promotion ceremony, Commander Fu called the two of them to his side and gave them some detailed instructions.
The content is nothing more than encouraging words like work hard and keep your eyes on them.
Before Ruan Suhe and Lu Zhengxiang left the military headquarters, they were notified and taken directly to the Fu family's old house.
Ruan Suhe had already guessed the scene that the two of them would face next.
As expected, in the main hall, Fu Hengye was still sitting upright in his seat.
"Well, I called you here this time because I want to discuss with you the family tree in the ancestral hall and the banquet."
This time, Fu Hengye spoke without the condescending tone as before, and sounded a little more friendly.
"The return of the clan members to the ancestral hall can be held according to family customs, but the banquet... I want to change it to a wedding banquet."
After Lu Zhengxiang spoke these words word by word with an upright posture, the first person to be stunned was Ruan Suhe.
Wedding banquet? I didn't discuss this with her at all? What's going on?
It took Ruan Suhe a moment to sort out his thoughts. He thought that this request was probably a condition for returning to his ancestral home.
He wanted her to return to the Fu family openly.
"A wedding banquet! Impossible!"
Fu Hengye's first reaction was to refuse, he felt that Lu Zhengxiang was being unreasonable.
That banquet was to tell everyone in Beijing that he, Lu Zhengxiang, was his Fu Hengye's son and would only be called Fu Zhengxiang from now on, instead of telling everyone that Ruan Suhe was his Fu Hengye's daughter-in-law.
This definition is completely different, he will never agree with it!
"Why not? Su He is now a teacher at Beijing University and a specially hired translator at the headquarters. Doesn't her current status meet the requirements of the military order?"
"I am now a deputy commander, so why am I not worthy of the Fu family?"
When Lu Zhengxiang heard Fu Hengye's refusal, his face instantly turned cold.
Fu Hengye was speechless. After all, everything Lu Zhengxiang said made sense.
The air seemed to be still, no one spoke, and Fu Hengye had already brainstormed many times in an instant.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's a wedding banquet, let's do it as you say."
"Okay, but there is one more condition. Since I have come this far alone for so many years, if we move into the old house now, it will probably trigger a lot of shields and spears, and the two children will not be welcomed to a great extent."
"So, I can cooperate with you in putting up the family tree in the ancestral hall, and we will continue to live in the family compound."
"Don't refuse right away, father... I have my own considerations. The child is in a critical period of growth now, and we can take better care of him if we live by ourselves."
As Lu Zhengxiang spoke one sentence after another, Fu Hengye's face changed from gloomy at the beginning to expressionless at the end.
During this journey, only the word "father" could make him feel a little cheerful.
However, he also knew that the old house was indeed not particularly peaceful, so he went along with Lu Zhengxiang's wishes.
"Okay, but there is something you must accept."
Now that things have come to this, Fu Hengye had no choice but to accept the result.
Fu Hengye knocked on the table twice, and the butler outside the door immediately took out the key that had been prepared in his pocket and handed it to him.
"This car is a gift to you. It's more convenient to drive in and out."
Lu Zhengxiang thought about it for a while and felt that it was not impossible to keep the car. It would indeed be much more convenient to have an extra means of transportation at home.
So, he took two steps forward and took the car keys from Fu Hengye.
Fu Hengye originally wanted to tell him to take care of his health, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he didn't utter a single word of concern until the two of them left.
"Zhengxiang? Are you sure you want to hold the wedding banquet at this time?"
