Chapter 455 Attending the Social Gathering
"Commander, as you know, the training of the action team is very intense right now. Our team members can only get one day off every one or two months."
...
"Okay, I understand, Commander. However, we should still hear what Comrade Su Jin herself thinks about this. If she's unwilling, I can't very well force her."
...
"Yes, sir, I guarantee I will complete the mission."
Zheng Changqing's last words were filled with helplessness before he put down the microphone.
The division commander gave a direct order; he had to do it whether he wanted to or not.
Su Jin had just returned to her dormitory when Zheng Changqing appeared at the door.
"You're back. Why didn't you stay home a little longer?"
Zheng Changqing's question made Su Jin stare at him intently.
The rest period was from noon yesterday to noon today, exactly one day. If she came back an hour later, it would be considered as not returning to the team on time.
"Captain, is something the matter?"
Zheng Changqing nodded. "We'll be doing field training this afternoon, so it probably won't end too early."
Su Jin's gaze deepened. The action team's training had always been like this; there was no need to emphasize it specifically.
"Do you have time tonight?" Zheng Changqing hesitated for a long time before finally asking.
"Captain, just say what's on your mind."
Whether she has time in the evening depends on whether the team has training that night.
This was the first time Su Jin had seen Zheng Changqing so conflicted, so she immediately prepared herself mentally.
"Tonight, the division is holding a social gathering, and the division commander wants you to attend."
"A social gathering?"
Su Jin was indeed surprised; she thought something important had happened.
Zheng Changqing nodded. "It should be quite lively." After saying that, he immediately added, "Of course, if you don't want to go, I can talk to the division commander."
If she resolutely refuses to go, even if the division commander is angry, there's nothing he can do.
Su Jin grasped the key point: "Did Commander Qian send me?"
Zheng Changqing reluctantly gave a soft "hmm".
Su Jin thought about it and realized that since it was Qian Guangtao's idea, there must be some purpose behind it.
"Okay, I'll go."
Zheng Changqing was stunned that she agreed so readily.
"Aren't you going to reconsider?"
"Captain, is there something wrong with this social event?"
Su Jin noticed that his reaction was really strange.
She had never participated in any social gatherings within the military, so she didn't know the specifics; it was probably just a get-together.
Zheng Changqing quickly shook his head, "How could there be a problem? I thought you didn't like places that are too lively."
"It's not that I don't like it. Besides, wasn't this Commander Qian's idea?"
Su Jin's words silenced Zheng Changqing's anger.
"It's the division commander's order, so you can go."
Su Jin agreed with a "Okay".
Zheng Changqing came out of the dormitory, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Isn't a social gathering just a place for blind dates and finding a partner? But the brigade commander already said that Su Jin is his person.
Although their relationship has not been made public, if the brigade commander found out that Su Jin went to a place like that, he would definitely be furious.
Most importantly, with Su Jin's looks, she would definitely become the center of attention immediately when she arrived there. If she were to develop feelings for another young cadre, that would be a huge problem.
Thinking of this, Zheng Changqing was even more terrified. He immediately quickened his pace and returned to his office, dialing Xiao Yunfeng's office number without hesitation.
