"Are you the wife of the commander of the second battalion of the second regiment?"
She looked Xu Nuannuan up and down. This woman was so beautiful.
But it was this woman's man who snatched away her man's chance to be promoted to battalion commander.
Xu Nuannuan noticed the other party's attitude and her tone became much colder: "Well, I'm Xu Nuannuan."
She still had the candy in her hand and was a little reluctant to give it to Zhang Yufeng, but she had already given it to someone else. If she didn't give it to Zhang Yufeng, she would definitely be criticized by Zhang Yufeng.
Then he handed the candy in his hand to the other person: "We just got married, this is our wedding candy."
Zhang Yufeng had a cold expression on her face. She lowered her eyes to look at the wedding candy in Xu Nuannuan's hand and reached out to take it.
She curled her lip slightly and said to Xu Nuannuan, "I'm Zhang Yufeng. We have something going on at home today, so I won't let you two stay."
"It's okay. We have things to do when we get back. Let's go."
When Jiang Ye came back, they went out again and quickly bought a lot of things.
In the afternoon, Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye were cooking at home, and Li Xiu Lian also came to help.
Today they only planned to invite the officers, not the wives of the soldiers. Their house was not big, and they were worried that if the wives brought their children, there wouldn't be enough space for so many people.
Xu Nuannuan planned to get familiar with them here and then treat them to a meal.
At night, the first to arrive were Zhang Jianjun and Guan Xingyao. Li Xiu Lian was already there, and Wang Dahai came over as soon as he finished training. Next came the commander of the second regiment and his wife Xi Jinping.
Xu Jinping was less than forty years old. Perhaps because she had been married to the group leader for a long time, she looked calm, dignified and approachable. Xu Nuannuan felt very comfortable chatting with her, and they soon became familiar with each other.
The company commander of the second battalion came later. The first to arrive was a young man in his twenties, named Zhang Wei. He was quite polite when he met Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan, and was a close relative of the battalion commander and his sister-in-law.
The two who came later were also company commanders in the second battalion. They looked to be several years older than Jiang Ye. One was Liu Kun and the other was Ding Jianguo.
These two people were not as polite as Zhang Wei.
Maybe it was because they were older than Jiang Ye, but Xu Nuannuan found that they treated Jiang Ye and herself as if they were juniors. Although their words seemed polite, there was dissatisfaction in their tone and eyes.
Li Shanshan, deputy battalion commander of the second battalion of the second regiment, was the last to arrive. Because he was angry, he didn't want to attend the dinner at all. If it weren't for Jiang Ye's arrival, she would have been the battalion commander of the second battalion of the second regiment.
Jiang Ye, an outsider, snatched his chance of promotion away, and now he has to be his subordinate, which naturally makes him feel dissatisfied.
When he came, he was thinking about how to teach Jiang Ye a lesson at the dinner table.
After he knocked on the door, Xu Nuannuan happened to be closest to the door and went to open it for him.
He was outside with a sullen face, and when the door suddenly opened, the moment he saw Xu Nuannuan, he was as if he saw a fairy from the sky. He was instantly attracted by her beauty and was slightly stunned.
Xu Nuannuan noticed his gaze and asked, "You are the deputy commander of the second battalion, right? Please come in."
Li Shan finally reacted and quickly retracted his gaze. Xu Nuannuan smiled and said, "That's me. I'm not late, am I?"
"No, no."
Xu Nuannuan stepped aside and let him in.
This guy was muttering in his heart that not only did Jiang Ye Ji easily become the battalion commander, but the wife he married was also as beautiful as a fairy. This made him even more dissatisfied with Jiang Ye.
After he entered, he greeted the others first. The first person to be greeted was definitely the regiment commander, followed by Wang Dahai and the three company commanders, but he put Jiang Ye, his superior, last.
He gave Jiang Ye a fake smile and said, "Little Jiang Zhizhi, we will be working together in the future. I have been here longer than you and have more experience than you. If you have any questions in the future, you can always ask me."
This is not the attitude a subordinate should have towards his superior. It seems like the superior is teaching the subordinate.
Captain Zheng said, "Xianshan, Jiang Ye is your superior after all, you can't criticize Xiao Jiang."
"I just think he is younger than me." He chuckled and tried to cover it up.
"He's young, but his position is there. He can be called battalion commander or just another name. He can't be called Xiao Jiang anymore."
Li Qishan's face turned extremely ugly. How could he keep his face when being lectured by the regiment commander in front of so many people?
He said with a forced smile, "I understand. I'll just go with Jiang Ye Shizhi."
Anyway, he didn't obey the battalion commander.
Jiang Ye said, "In terms of age, Deputy Battalion Commander Li is indeed older than me. In terms of seniority, I just arrived here, and I probably haven't been in the army as long as Deputy Battalion Commander Li. I really admire those veterans who have always stood firm on the front line of defending their country.
I felt they all had a hard time, but I felt I was younger and should have to work harder than them, so I just kept pushing forward without hesitation. Before I knew it, I had earned a ton of medals, and the army even gave me my current position, which I never expected."
He spoke these words with a humble tone and as if jokingly, saying that he respected those veterans and that his own success today was entirely due to his heroic struggle and was well deserved.
