“Because there are too many dangerous missions. Once captured, the higher the rank, the more dangerous it becomes. Sometimes, not only do we have to guard against the people outside, but we also have to guard against the people inside. The missions carried out by the Xueyu unit are all state secrets, and spies are everywhere in our country. Keeping our ranks unchanged is also part of a disguise.”
It was not a secret that his rank could not change. He could tell Ye Jian that.
“As you can see, the only people who promoted us are the major general of the army, the commander of the navy, and Commander-in-Chief Xia. The Xueyu unit and the Storm Delta Amphibious Assault Brigade are not affiliated with any unit. The only leaders we face directly are these three senior leaders. Similarly, it’s to protect our lives.
“As for you, if you’re awarded the rank of captain after graduation, you can actually be promoted to the rank of major directly with the military achievements you’ve attained. However, according to our country’s military promotion system, the promotion of a lieutenant to a colonel is limited to one rank every four years. If you join the team, you might be promoted to major directly, or you might wait four years before being promoted to major.
“Next time, I hope I’ll be the one sitting offstage watching you get promoted.”
Before he walked out, Xia Jinyuan said solemnly.
Ye Jian smiled at the man she liked. “I hope so too. I look forward to that day.”
“Then we’ll look forward to it together.” He smiled at her, and their warm gazes met.
The love between Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan was never strong on one side and weak on the other. They chased after a love that was evenly matched. They could become each other’s support when the other was in danger and stand side by side when the other was at their peak.
Such was the love they sought.
Soon, the two of them met up with Li Jinnian and went to Commander Xia’s office. At this moment, Staff Officer Du was accompanying Madam Li, who was having a headache, to recuperate at home.
“Don’t worry about the outside world for the next few days. Get well.” After putting the boiled Chinese medicine by the bedside table, Staff Officer Du sighed. “There’s enough to do at the company and at home. We’ll talk about other matters when you’re better.”
“How much trouble can a young lady cause? She’s already back in the Southern Province. Out of sight, out of mind. What do you have to worry about? On the other hand, we have to pay more attention to Old Xia’s son.”
Madam Li, who had a headache, was lying on the bed with a hot towel on her forehead. Her eyes turned sharp as she said coldly, “Anyone who sees me now will laugh at me. This resentment won’t disappear just because she’s returned to the Southern Province!
“How dare she play tricks on me and embarrass me?! Heh, if I don’t let her know how powerful I am, who knows who might climb up and step on me in the future?! You don’t have to worry about my matters. I know what to do.”
“As for that son of Old Xia…” Madam Li’s face grew more serious as she removed the hot towel from her forehead. “I asked Shuman if she’d gone to the hospital. She said she had but she didn’t get to see him. Old Xia said he was visiting a comrade.
“Aren’t you thinking too much? It’s not like we don’t know how much of a gangster that son of Old Xia is. This time, he’s going around while wearing his military uniform. Where will Old Xia put his face?”
Staff Officer Du shook his head. “It’s not an act. It’s his aura. He doesn’t look like he’s slacking off in the army.”
