Chapter 2211
Why refuse the promotion ceremony?
How could such a solemn ceremony be omitted?
No matter how low he lowered his voice, she could hear him. Before he could finish packing, Ye Jian smiled and said, “Captain Xia, I want to see you get promoted. Is that okay?” She looked at him with sparkling eyes. “Major gets promoted to lieutenant colonel, right? It only happens once every few years. How can the ceremony be delayed? I haven’t seen you getting promoted.”
There were three times when enlisted soldiers could best display their military charm.
Firstly, on their first day in the army when they put on my uniform.
Secondly, the ceremony where they’re awarded their gun.
Thirdly, ceremonies where they’re promoted.
It was impossible for her to have witnessed the first day of Captain Xia’s enlistment, and it was also impossible for her to see him being awarded his gun. Now that she had the chance to witness him being promoted, she could not miss it.
“Are you not participating in the promotion because you don’t have time?” Ye Jian was very interested in this and couldn’t help but ask. Actually, she wanted to ask if it was because of the rules of the Xueyu unit.
She knew the rules of the Xueyu unit. Their ranks would never change until they left the Xueyu unit. When Pigeon, J5, and the others wore their formal clothes, they had the rank of major on their epaulets.
If she was lucky enough to get into the Xueyu unit after graduating and if she could be promoted to major in about three years, then she would always be a major in formal wear. In the files, she might be secretly promoted to lieutenant colonel while still being a major, like Captain Xia.
However, she didn’t quite understand why things were like this.
Xia Jinyuan glanced at Ye Jian. He wanted to suppress his rank, but he relented because of Ye Jian’s words. “Okay, I agree.”
“Alright, come over for a meeting tomorrow. Your comrades will come with you.” Commander Xia nodded. He had rushed over early in the morning mainly for this matter. Since his son had agreed, there was no need to stay. He said to Ye Jian, “Little Ye will come along tomorrow.”
The nurse in charge of treating Xia Jinyuan’s inflammation came over. Commander Xia stood up and left. Ye Jian hurriedly stood up to send him off.
Normally, the commander-in-chief wouldn’t let Ye Jian send him off. However, this time, he didn’t reject her. Instead, he said, “Little Ye, send me to my car. I’ll talk to you on the way.”
“Alright, sure.” Ye Jian didn’t notice that the man behind her was winking at Commander Xia. She just respectfully sent him out of the ward.
Xia Jinyuan wanted to chase after her, he was ‘shoved’ back to the bed by Commander Xia. He could only watch as Ye Jian left the ward.
What would they say when they went out? He could probably guess.
Ye Jian’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the whole story. She had no idea that Captain Xia could have been promoted to lieutenant colonel last year, but he had been delaying things because he wanted to be promoted with her.
“Little Six is very stubborn. Before I came, I was very worried. Who knew that you could change his decision with just a word? Little Ye, I’ll leave the heavy responsibility of disciplining Little Six to you in the future. If he does anything wrong, you can teach him a lesson. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
Ye Jian, whose mind was occupied by her lover, calmed down and nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely watch him get the rank of lieutenant colonel. I won’t allow him to delay it for me.”
She was very touched. Her man had secretly done many things for her that she did not know about. Every one of these things was enough to shock her for a long time. He had given too much for her. How could he accept delaying his military career because of her?
