Chapter 007: Promoted to Deputy Group Leader
Zhou Nanxu unscrewed the bottle of wine and sat down.
He poured each of them a glass and frowned.
"That's tomorrow's business."
I have been on a mission for more than a month and just returned to the team today. The first thing I did was to report my mission to my leader.
Of course his leader had already told him about the promotion, but he had always been cautious and didn't want to cause any trouble before it was officially announced.
Unlike Qin Cheng, who has a distinguished family background, he does not have any family members who are leaders or chiefs in various units or military regions. Born in the countryside, he relied on his military merits that he had earned time and again at the risk of his life to get to where he is today.
Qin Cheng naturally understood how difficult it had been for Zhou Nanxu over the years, which had forced him to develop a calm and steady character.
The two joined the army in the same year and fought side by side for so many years.
It can also be said that Zhou Nanxu has been leading him all the time. If it weren't for Zhou Nanxu's encouragement, perhaps he wouldn't have the tenacity he has now. Not long after he was promoted to battalion commander, Zhou Nanxu became deputy regiment commander. He had to straighten up his skin and catch up with him.
Of course, he never felt jealous of Zhou Nanxu, only genuine admiration for him.
He raised his glass, "I understand. We are the only two here... Come on, let's go."
The two clinked glasses. The burning sensation of the wine made Qin Cheng's face frown. He let out a "ha" and put down the glass.
He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of food and stuffed it into his mouth. Looking at Zhou Nanxu, who was drinking water with a blank expression, he felt envious. "Do you think all Northeastern men can drink this much?"
Over the years, he had never seen Zhou Nanxu drunk.
Zhou Nanxu sneered, "When it comes to drinking, us Northeastern gentlemen are really not afraid of anyone."
But if we really talk about alcohol tolerance, he can't be considered a good drinker.
But it was more than enough for a mediocre person like Qin Cheng. Moreover, this was in the army. Although there was no prohibition on alcohol in the army, he would not drink too much. He would stop drinking when he had enough and never let himself get drunk.
Qin Cheng's eyes flickered, "Oh, so are you Northeastern lesbians also good at drinking?"
"Why, do you want to find a partner from the Northeast? It's not that I can't help you with this. I'll ask my mother to introduce you to one in our village. With your qualifications, I guarantee that you'll be the son-in-law that all the aunts will scramble to have." Zhou Nanxu looked at him leisurely.
Although he knew it was a joke, Qin Cheng still shuddered and waved his hands to refuse, "Forget it, forget it, I can't handle it. My mom has arranged enough blind dates for me. I have to meet another one next weekend, from the art troupe."
At this point, Qin Cheng raised the corners of his lips, and a hint of ambiguity flashed across his eyes.
"They are all female soldiers from the same regiment. They should know Comrade Cui Mengmeng. Why don't you come with me and ask her to come out and meet them?"
Qin Cheng and Zhou Nanxu are both 25 this year. They are not too old, but not too young either. Many kids of the same age in the army are already old enough to help out.
Naturally, his family was urging him to get married, but Zhou Nanxu thought he was luckier than Qin Cheng. At least Liu Rong was far away and couldn't control him.
Qin Cheng is different. His mother lives in the same city, so every weekend Qin Cheng is either on a blind date or on the way to a blind date.
Zhou Nanxu glanced at Qin Cheng calmly, his eyes showing no emotion, "Why did you ask me to go on a blind date?"
Qin Cheng looked at Zhou Nanxu in disbelief, "Of course I met Cui Mengmeng, have you forgotten? She even came to our camp to perform during the Dragon Boat Festival. She danced with such a soft waist and was so pretty."
It was not until the expression on Zhou Nanxu's face remained unchanged that Qin Cheng finally believed that he really didn't remember.
She curled her lips and said, "I think you are really hurting that lesbian's feelings. Think about it, that lesbian approached you to talk in front of everyone. There were so many people in the whole hall, and she approached you to talk. But you just forgot about her."
Zhou Nanxu didn't say anything and just focused on picking up food.
Qin Cheng sighed and continued to persuade him earnestly.
"Look, you've been promoted to deputy director, so you should still be enthusiastic about this personal issue. In fact, I think Cui Mengmeng is really good. She is good-looking, has a good figure, and her professional ability is also top-notch in the art troupe. Although her family conditions are a little inferior, you don't care about these, otherwise you wouldn't have rejected Zhai Li at that time..."
Zhou Nanxu frowned and said, "The position of battalion commander is not suitable for you. You should be an instructor."
As we all know, one of the duties of this instructor is to do ideological work for people and solve personal problems.
Qin Cheng: ......
Thanks to his sincere heart, he helped to find out the conditions of the female comrade while someone was on a mission.
He really felt that the two of them were well matched in terms of personal conditions, appearance, and family.
Qin Cheng was annoyed, "You just pretend to be so arrogant. You don't know how difficult it is to find a like-minded female comrade. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone on so many blind dates and still not found someone who is compatible with me in every aspect. If you were like Lao Fang from the Third Battalion, your family would have arranged a wife for you and sent her to the hospital. Then you would be obedient."
The entire family compound knew that the wife of the deputy battalion commander, Lao Fang, was arranged by someone from his hometown in the countryside. As soon as Lao Fang returned, he got married and then brought his people to follow the army.
Not only is the daughter-in-law lazy and sloppy, she is also very combative. She likes to curse all the time and has offended all the old sisters-in-law in the compound.
This made Lao Fang wish he could stay in the company every day.
Unfortunately, you can't hide forever. After staying in the company for less than half a month, my wife went to the leader to ask for an explanation.
The leader persuaded the man to come back, but a few days later his wife found the leader again and started crying and making a fuss - saying that her husband wouldn't do anything with her.
When he thought of this kind of person, Zhou Nanxu, who was usually very calm, couldn't help but frown.
He said with a firm tone, "My mother is not such a feudal person. She would not arrange marriages for me. If she had such an idea, she would have married me off a long time ago. Why would she wait until I was 25?"
As soon as the words fell.
"Captain Zhou, are you home?"
Outside the house, the voice of Xiao Ding, the logistics worker, was heard along with a knock on the door.
Qin Cheng stood up, strode over and opened the door.
Xiao Ding saluted, "Captain Qin is here too."
After saying that, he glanced inside.
Qin Cheng smiled and said, "Would you like to come in and have a drink?"
Zhou Nanxu had also reached the door.
Xiao Ding immediately saluted Zhou Nanxu again.
Then he waved his hand to reject Qin Cheng's invitation, "No, no, I'm here to deliver a letter to Captain Zhou."
After saying that, he quickly handed the letter in his hand to Zhou Nanxu.
"Captain Zhou, these two letters arrived half a month ago, and this telegram arrived yesterday."
As soon as Xiao Ding left, Zhou Nanxu took the letter into the house and placed it on the table.
Open the telegram first.
Qin Cheng closed the door and came in, looking at Zhou Nanxu's tightly knitted brows, "But what happened at home?"
