Jiang Jun was confused. The more she wanted to keep it a secret, the more people knew about it.
It really proves the saying, if you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself.
She could only pin her hopes on Chen Yuanwu: "Old Wu, you have to remember what you promised me. Go and turn down Commander Gao for me!"
Chen Yuanwu said tactfully, "Xiaojun, Commander Gao won't make a promise easily. If he does, there's really no reason to refuse. When I get home tonight, I'll ask my dad first, and then we can discuss it, okay?"
Jiang Jun had no choice but to agree, what else could he do?
Seeing Jiang Jun's depressed face, Chen Yuanwu whispered to comfort her, "I'm sure you're tired today. Go upstairs and have a good sleep. Tomorrow I'll go back to the Equipment Department and pick you up after I've arranged everything. Pack your luggage and bring an extra coat. You remember the weather on the grassland, right?"
Jiang Jun nodded, pouting in a half-smile. "Of course I remember. We encountered a once-in-a-century rainstorm, and a hero descended from the sky."
Chen Yuanwu burst into laughter. "I'll be with you every step of the way this time and be your personal bodyguard. Just treat it like a vacation!"
Going out with the one she loves, leaning on his arms, this is Jiang Yun's ideal life and the trip she looks forward to the most: "You said it, then I won't worry about anything else and just wait for you to take care of me!"
The two of them reluctantly exchanged their last words for half an hour in the small courtyard in front of the VIP building of the guesthouse. The waiter came to shoo everyone away and said, "Lights out will be soon. Guests staying here, please return to your rooms immediately. Those not staying here, please leave immediately!"
The foreign guests had left, and the guests who had come to the military to watch the art performances had also left. Now only the room of Jiang Yun and her sister were occupied in the VIP building. The waiter knew Jiang Yun and also knew that Chen Yuanwu was the son of the deputy commander, but they had to abide by the rules of the VIP building of the guesthouse, so they could only bite the bullet and urge them to leave.
Chen Yuanwu finally said his last words: "Remember to tell Uncle Jiang about going to get the files."
He trotted out of the guesthouse.
Jiang Yonghua stood by the window, opened the curtains a little, and observed the eye contact between Jiang Jun and Chen Yuanwu during their conversation from beginning to end.
He is an experienced person, so there is nothing he doesn't understand. Chen Zhong just treats Xiaojun as his daughter-in-law.
Maybe Chen Zhong also helped a lot in successfully redressing the case this time.
Jiang Yonghua felt a little heavy-hearted. Looking at Jiang Lan who was sleeping soundly, he walked to the small sofa and sat down, turning on only a small desk lamp on the coffee table.
Jiang Jun pushed the door open and came in, startled: "Dad, have you been waiting for me?"
I thought it would only take two hours to go out to see a movie with Chen Yuanwu, but it ended up taking us a whole day and we didn't come back until late at night.
She glanced guiltily at the curtains behind Jiang Yonghua.
Jiang Yonghua sighed silently: "Xiaojun, please sit down. I didn't expect you to be so busy. I want to discuss with you how to arrange the next two days."
With the file and letter of introduction in hand, I just had to go to the Ping County Personnel Bureau.
In view of his previous mistakes, Jiang Yonghua still wanted to take his daughter with him to handle the personnel procedures.
Jiang Yun's original plan was to go to the Personnel Bureau with her father to find a receiving unit for Jiang Yonghua, and then get a letter of certification from the personnel department of Jiang Yonghua's new unit so that Jiang Lan could report to the army, settle her father and sister, and then consider her own work issues.
Now all the plans have been disrupted, and the things that were originally supposed to be put at the end are now brought to the front.
She is now in a hurry to go to the military base to get the files, just to accommodate Chen Yuanwu's remaining few days.
"Dad, I'm going to get a ride tomorrow to get my file back. It'll take seven or eight days to go back and forth, so you'll have to go to the Personnel Bureau by yourself." Jiang Jun thought for a moment and made a decision: "I'll tell Uncle Chen to cancel the VIP room and let Xiaolan live with the female soldiers who joined the art troupe through the backdoor."
Jiang Jun herself also felt strange. In front of Chen Yuanwu, she was like a little fool who always made mistakes and made mistakes. But when she came in front of Jiang Yonghua, she automatically turned into a parent, giving orders and arranging everything without even discussing it.
Jiang Yonghua was used to it: "Okay, let's do as you say."
Jiang Jun yawned and stood up: "Dad, I'm going to go wash up first. I'm tired today."
Jiang Yonghua hesitated for a moment, then decided to cut to the chase and ask, "Xiaojun, are you planning to date Staff Officer Chen?"
It's no wonder he thinks so much. After spending these years together day and night, and through many things, he discovered that Jiang Jun is a person who puts interests before family affection.
Therefore, he was not worried that his eldest daughter would be dazzled by Chen Yuanwu's family background, appearance and talent. What he was worried about was that Xiaojun would use Chen Yuanwu to get what she wanted.
After more than ten years of mediocre marriage, Jiang Yonghua knows the pain of it and sincerely does not want his eldest daughter, whom he trusts the most and is most proud of, to be unhappy.
Jiang Jun didn't hide it either. Jiang Yonghua must have seen everything. "I'm not planning to talk about it. I've already promised him!"
Jiang Yonghua's heart sank. "Did he pursue you first? When did it start?"
Could it be that it all started when he was tutoring Chen Yuanwu at the division headquarters? Did Chen Yuanwu start deliberately getting close to Xiaojun from that time?
In the past, if a subordinate's daughter married her superior's son, it would also be a good story.
Now that I have just been rehabilitated, I have to go to work in the local area. Getting promoted in the local area is much more difficult and complicated than in the army. I would be very lucky if I can work safely until retirement.
The official positions of Chen Zhong and his son will only get higher as time goes by. Young talents like Chen Yuanwu will have plenty of suitable candidates to choose from, and those who have dealings with the Chen family are not from small families like the Jiang family.
Jiang Jun recalled the birthday card Chen Yuanwu wrote her and smiled, "It was after you went on your mission and before I joined the army."
Jiang Yonghua misunderstood. As expected, he left right before his daughter was pursued. Was this considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune? Was this considered deceiving the girl? "Did he touch you? Why haven't you ever said anything?"
Is it because Xiaojun was bullied and had to swallow her anger that her personality became so cold?
Jiang Jun looked at his father strangely. "We never even held hands, and we kept more than half a meter apart when we talked. Besides, I was still young at that time, so I just pretended not to know."
Jiang Yonghua didn't quite believe it: "Then when did you agree to date him? Are you here to submit the documents this time?"
Is it because he sees that his daughter Xiaojun has become more beautiful that he is attracted to her again?
Jiang Jun nodded: "I guess so!"
Jiang Yonghua asked carefully: "When do you plan to get married?"
Jiang Jun was surprised. How could people of this generation be so conservative? He had just agreed to date someone, but now he was jumping to marriage. "Dad, I'm only eighteen. I don't know what will happen in the future. Let's talk about marriage later."
Jiang Yonghua's premonition came true. His daughter really wanted to use Chen Yuanwudang as a springboard: "Xiaojun, if you don't want to marry him, don't agree to date him. Otherwise," Jiang Yonghua gritted his teeth and said with a hard heart: "If you don't date him, he can always find a young and beautiful girl, and no one will want you!"
