Braving the wind and snow, they finally returned to the county town. Jiang Tiecheng was exhausted; the journey had taken them a full six days.
Gu Tinghui was extremely grateful to Jiang Tiecheng; to be precise, Gu Tinghui felt he owed Jiang Tiecheng far too much.
The more you owe, the less you know how to thank people.
Now, I feel like I can't give anyone enough to thank them with.
He personally drove Jiang Tiecheng back, expressing his gratitude while sitting in the car.
"Xiao Jiang, I have to thank you again this time. You've always helped me, and I don't know how to thank you enough. How about I treat you to dinner another day?"
Gu Tinghui felt guilty; Jiang Tiecheng wasn't a soldier, yet he was always cleaning up their messes.
Jiang Tiecheng suddenly remembered his family member Jiang Yinping.
He initially wanted to say no need to thank him, but then he thought of Jiang Yinping.
He knew that if he refused, the kid would overthink things and might mistakenly give all his honors and benefits to someone else.
Was he wronged or not?
"Commander Gu, if you really want to thank me, then you have to be fair and impartial and treat everyone the same."
Gu Tinghui felt something was off about what he was hearing.
He asked hurriedly,
"What do you mean by fairness and impartiality? When have I ever failed to treat everyone equally?"
"Does that mean I've ever mistreated you?"
Jiang Tiecheng smiled.
You have never mistreated me.
What I mean is that you should treat me the same way.
"That won't do."
"You've done so much and helped us so much, it's only right that we give you some special treatment."
"I don't want special treatment. I just want to be treated the same as everyone else. And you got my sister into the performing arts troupe, didn't you?"
Gu Tinghui was delighted to hear this, his face beaming with pride, feeling that he had done a great thing.
That's right!
I've inquired about your family situation; none of your brothers have jobs.
You said not only did you not have one, but you said you didn't have any at all.
So I thought I'd help you solve some of your difficulties. You've helped us so much, it's only right that we help you with some practical problems.
"Don't worry, I've already spoken to them. Your sister is my sister too, and I'll definitely make sure they take good care of her."
Jiang Tiecheng looked at Gu Tinghui.
That foolish-looking man couldn't bring himself to say he didn't need to take care of his sister. To outsiders, they were siblings, but in reality, if it weren't for what happened in his past life, he would have always believed they were blood relatives.
"First of all, Commander Gu, I want to emphasize to you seriously that since my sister has already joined the cultural troupe, I won't say anything more."
But absolutely no more back doors or special treatment will be allowed for her.
Otherwise, if you come to me for help again next time, I won't lend a hand.
I will definitely keep my word.
Don't think I'm joking.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tinghui was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Jiang Tiecheng was truly a good comrade.
He got angry and furious as soon as he found out that he had given his sister special treatment. What does that mean?
It represents how noble a person is.
He immediately got angry because I did him a favor; no wonder he said those things to me.
"Jiang Tiecheng, don't overthink it. Our regiment usually arranges employment for the families of these meritorious soldiers."
And you've made so many contributions, such a huge contribution, giving you a spot in the army, what's so special about that?
This is by no means using connections.
"You've helped us so much, and your family is in such dire straits. If we don't lend a hand, are we even human?"
Jiang Tiecheng rolled his eyes. Why is this kid so stubborn?
This implies that they want to further increase their support.
"Commander Gu, I want to solemnly declare to you again that if my sister can stay in the cultural troupe and establish herself in it step by step through her own abilities, then I will not hesitate to say that she has personal ability."
If you give her special treatment because you asked her to do something for you, she will receive special treatment.
Then don't blame me for being impolite; I won't associate with your group anymore.
Don't come to me for anything in the future.
I will definitely keep my word. Of course I know what kind of person my own sister is.
He has neither talent nor ability, and he loves to take advantage of others, using others' reputation to make a big deal out of nothing.
How could someone with her temperament possibly work well in the troupe? So, to prevent her from implicating other members of the troupe, I gave her advance notice.
If Commander Gu continues down this path, then we're cutting ties. Don't come looking for me again if you need anything.
Gu Tinghui hurriedly smiled apologetically.
"Okay, okay, I promise I'll tell them when I get back today to treat your sister properly and be absolutely strict with her."
Demand the same things from others as you would from her.
There will be absolutely no special treatment. Don't worry, your sister's character is definitely just like yours.
I believe she can definitely endure hardship, and she will never seek special treatment.
Gu Tinghui admired Jiang Tiecheng even more, for Jiang Tiecheng had no selfish motives whatsoever.
After dropping Jiang Tiecheng off at home, Gu Tinghui returned to his unit.
Just as I was about to return to my office, a girl stopped me at the door.
"Hello, are you Commander Gu?"
Gu Tinghui looked the girl up and down; she was quite young.
Judging from his military uniform, he must be from their regiment. He asked with a smile.
"I'm Gu Tinghui. Which department are you from?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yinping's face flushed with excitement. She hadn't expected their 055th Regiment's commander to be so young and handsome.
She had inquired with the head of their regiment, who told her that it was the deputy head who had given her the spot.
Jiang Yinping was naturally excited. Who was Gu Tinghui?
He's the commander of the 055th Regiment, which is a very high rank, something I can only dream of.
The troupe leader took the opportunity to give her an important task: to ask Commander Gu to apply for a batch of funds for their cultural troupe, as they needed to purchase costumes and some equipment and props.
The approval process for performing arts troupes typically takes at least six months to a year, and in order to save money, the troupes often cut corners in this process.
Many times, their applications were even rejected.
This time, the regimental commander knew that Regimental Commander Gu Tinghui actually had a special relationship with Comrade Xiao Jiang, so he naturally hoped that Jiang Yinping could bring different support to their regiment.
Jiang Yinping naturally patted her chest and guaranteed it.
He also wanted to show the group members how powerful his backing was.
They made a pledge to complete the mission.
Seeing that Gu Tinghui looked slightly shy, she was surprised that the regimental commander was so young.
A different thought immediately arose in my mind.
But he didn't lose his mind and remembered his mission.
