Before Lu Zhengming could finish his words, Gu Qingbei covered his mouth with his hand.
"Could you please stop talking nonsense? When did I ever promise you anything? Don't slander me in front of my wife."
"Woo woo woo, shake the lotus root away."
"Wife, don't listen to his nonsense. I'll explain it to you later. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Gu Qingbei was afraid that his wife would think in a more complicated direction, so he could only quickly dispel her unhealthy thoughts.
At this time, Lu Zhengming was tired and said what he said.
"I wasn't wrong. We agreed to be single together, not afraid of outside influences, and stay single forever. Yet, you secretly got married."
"When did I ever join you in a united front? If you can't find a partner, stop flattering yourself."
Lu Zhengming was extremely angry.
Gu Qingbei ignored his complaints, watched Jiang Mengxue finish her meal, and took the lunch box to wash it.
"Come on, wife, let's go back to the dormitory."
Jiang Mengxue nodded to Lu Zhengming embarrassedly: "Political Commissar Lu, I'm sorry to bother you today. We will go back first."
Lu Zhengming waved his hands with a look of despair: "Let's go."
Gu Qingbei took Jiang Mengxue out of the cafeteria under everyone's curious gaze.
The army is very large, with a brigade of five to six thousand people, and there are more than a dozen canteens alone.
One canteen cannot provide meals for thousands of people at the same time, so soldiers also have to eat in different time periods.
On the way back, many soldiers saw their usually stern and serious Brigadier General Gu gently leading a beautiful and graceful woman, the two of them talking and laughing as they walked towards the dormitory.
Everyone thought they were seeing things, and the more they looked, the more something seemed wrong. Even though it was late at night, they dreamed of that figure every day in their nightmares, so there was no way they were mistaken.
Gu Qingbei naturally knew that everyone was curious. He glanced over and the soldiers immediately withdrew their peeking gazes. They dared not peek anymore and lined up seriously to prepare to eat.
Jiang Mengxue saw that everyone seemed to be afraid of Gu Qingbei. Could it be that Gu Qingbei usually had a serious personality in the army?
"Everyone is afraid of you, right? Do you always punish them?"
As they walked further, there were fewer and fewer people around. Gu Qingbei couldn't help but hold Jiang Mengxue's hand and rub her fingers.
"If we don't take it seriously, these soldiers will be hard to manage. They can start a business with just a little bit of color.
Don’t believe what Lao Lu said just now. Even though I’m married now and no one is standing in his way, he got scolded and got angry out of shame.”
"Have you known Political Commissar Lu for a long time? It seems like you have a good relationship."
Gu Qingbei smiled and nodded: "It has been more than ten years, we have always been comrades-in-arms. Later, we were promoted step by step. We are basically a team. We were transferred here together from the previous unit.
Although my father never mentioned it, I know that it was his idea to transfer me to the Western Military Region. He may be transferred in a few years, most likely to the capital. This is where his team is, which will make my future development and promotion much smoother."
Jiang Mengxue was surprised: "You are willing? I thought you would insist on relying on yourself for everything, and you were afraid of relying on your parents' help."
Gu Qingbei chuckled. When he was young, he was full of energy and thought he was very powerful. He thought he could develop well even without relying on his parents.
At least before he was 28 years old, he relied on himself for every step he took.
But now think about it, even if he gets some of his father's glory in the future, what difference does it make? He is strong himself, so who can say he is incompetent?
When people are not under pressure, nothing matters. But now that he is married, has a wife and children, he seems to have grown up in an instant.
He used to not want to be involved with his parents, and he didn't like the military leaders mentioning that he had a father in a high position.
It seems like all the results of my hard work for more than ten years are because of my father.
But now I am going to be a father. From a father's perspective, I do this just to make it easier for my child.
Isn’t it that a father works hard all his life so that his children can stand on his shoulders and see farther and jump higher?
"That's good. As long as others know that Gu Zhenhai is my father, who can believe that a father would not care about his son at all?
So whether I accept my dad's help or not, everyone sees it as a certainty.
I don't need to suffer for my reputation. My own ability is more important than anything else. At least with my father as my idol, my future will be much smoother. My own father risked his life for it, so why shouldn't I want it? "
Yes, Gu Zhenjiang and Luan Huiying fought step by step on the battlefield and walked step by step to where they are now.
Why not? Why should we refuse their help just for the sake of avoiding suspicion?
As the saying goes, if 10% of everything a parent does is for themselves, then 90% is for their children.
Jiang Mengxue thought about it from her own perspective. She was rich and powerful, so would she let her children suffer all the hardships?
It's obvious that just a few words from me can help him solve most of the problems, but because of a few words from others, I have to let the child suffer more, just to prove that he doesn't rely on anyone?
A son pays for his father's debts. If the father's crimes implicate several generations, then the father's glory should shine on several generations.
"I didn't expect you to be so insightful. I thought you would have a fight with Dad and then say that even if you suffer losses outside, you just have to work hard to climb up step by step through your own efforts."
Gu Qingbei laughed out loud: "I have already done my best. At my age and in this position, there are many people who are dissatisfied. I can only rely on my actions to knock them down one by one.
When everyone knows my identity in the future, they will still deny the fact that they were defeated by me. When this matter is mentioned again, they will say, "No wonder, it turns out that his father is Gu Zhenhai. No wonder he can climb so high at such a young age."
Jiang Mengxue also laughed. Gu Qingbei could be considered a second-generation military man, but he was also a first-generation man. After all, when he joined the army, there were still wars everywhere in the country, and he survived on the battlefield. No one could deny his ability, even if they labeled him as a second-generation military man.
"My luggage is still in the car. I brought a lot of food that's easy to preserve. Share it with your close comrades."
Because she would only be staying here for a few days, Jiang Mengxue didn't bring any clothes with her. Besides, it didn't make much difference to her whether she brought clothes or not.
“I gave them all the things you sent me before, and Old Lu just searched half of them.
How about this, let's have a meal together tomorrow. The regimental commanders, battalion commanders, company commanders under me, as well as Division Commander Ji and Army Commander Qi, can all have a meal together then."
These are all direct subordinates and leaders, so it is normal to treat them to a meal.
"General Qi is not from my father's faction. Anyway, it's quite complicated. As long as it looks good on the surface, it's fine. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Gu Zhenhai had his own plans for arranging Gu Qingbei here, but it was not a good time yet. Only after he was transferred to other places would it be the time for Gu Qingbei to show his talents.
