He thought the newly appointed commander would scold him and get angry, but he raised his lips slightly and said:

"You are right. I, the commander of the army, have just taken office and are not very familiar with the army group. But if I really understand the 30,000 subordinate soldiers under the entire military region, I will really understand them one by one, even if the Chairman of the Military Commission is in vain."

The first sentence is to admit your shortcomings, follow Gu Jiu's words, and show your humility and generosity to not care about your subordinates.

The second sentence is a simple counterattack and slap in the face.

Gu Jiu's eyes locked at the man in his fifties in front of him, then stood upright, greeted a standard military salute, and said in a true voice:

"Gu Jiu, the commander of the 1328th Army Division, has met the commander."

Ying Nan returned with a gift, and the two of them made Fu Hua behind him feel very embarrassed.

It was originally a private banquet. When Ying Nan came in just now, they shook hands and showed goodwill. But Gu Jiu wanted to do something special, and she was wearing military uniforms and saluting her. She was too scheming...

Afterwards, several people served the table, the waiter started serving the dishes, Fu Huatong stood up and raised the glass, and everyone followed him, saying to Yingnan on the main seat to celebrate and welcome.

The hands that stretched out were all high wine glasses, and red wine was filled with it, but a unique alien appeared.

Everyone looked at the cup of boiled water in Gu Jiu's hand, with a little unhappy and embarrassment on their faces.

Gu Jiu did not take the gesture of others or even Fu Huatong at all, and explained to Ying Nan in the main position:

"I am allergic to alcohol and should not drink alcohol. I use tea instead of wine. Congratulations to you on becoming the commander of the military region. I hope that the 1328 troops will receive your advice and encouragement in the future."

He didn't want to drink, and no one could persuade him.

Ying Nan was not angry, but just raised the red wine glass in his hand, reached out to signal, then took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

I don’t know if it’s because of Gu Jiu’s seriousness and the seriousness of the new commander, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly awkward...

Fu Huatong completely gave up the hope of promoting Gu Jiu.

The meal was a bit long. After Gu Jiu put a cup of boiling water on it, he didn't make any noise. He even slid his chopsticks. He just sat in his seat, not communicating with the officers around him, nor did he agree with Ying Nan who was flattering the main seat.

Now he just wants to go back early and talk to a simple video...

Until almost ten o'clock, Ying Nan didn't seem to want to stay anymore and called the waiter over to pay the order. Fu Huatong was about to grab the order, but the waiter told him first:

"That gentleman has bought it."

Everyone followed the waiter's gaze and looked at Gu Jiu who was sitting aside silently. He saw him speak out for granted:

“My family has money.”

It is a taboo thing for officers to come out for dinner, especially if they are extravagant and wasteful, they are easily talked about.

But now, the political side is strictly controlled...

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was silent for a while, but finally Ying Nan said, "Col. Gu has made money. Come to my dormitory another day. I will cook for you in person."

Gu Jiu looked at Ying Nan's calm face with a expressionless face and said thank you.

I heard that when Ying Nan was young, he was introduced by his family and married a wife. The two of them had no emotional foundation. After marriage, they waited for a long time and parted, and they divorced soon.

The second one was also introduced by his family. He died in a car accident after two years. Later, he stopped to do anything. He still has no children. When he was the deputy commander of the Southwest region, he lived in the military dormitory...

Then, Ying Nan got up first, and then everyone got up and left the dining table...

Yingnan did not bring the driver, so he came by himself. Fu Huatong and another division commander wanted to take him back. Gu Jiu and several other regiment commanders stood by the roadside, watching the vehicle leave, and then turned around and left and went back to their respective houses...

...

In the taxi, Fu Huatong, who was sitting in the back seat with Ying Nan, whispered: "Young people nowadays! He is full of encouragement, he is not afraid of heaven or earth. To put it bluntly, that is arrogant. You are a lot of pride, don't take it to your heart..."

Although Gu Jiu and this daughter couldn't go together, he didn't want to do anything bad either.

After all, Gu Jiu is still young and has a brighter and more spacious future than him. He promoted him to help him today, just to make him less sad in the future...

Ying Nan's lips moved slightly, and a low sound as if the cello sounds slowly overflowed: "Young man, it's better to be arrogant, he is good to be like this."

Fu Huatong is a personal sensual in the officialdom, and his basic skills are all about observing words and expressions. Seeing that Ying Nan really did not mean to blame Gu Jiu, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he is Gu Jiu's boss, and if he wants to approve it, he will definitely fall on him first.

...

On the other side, Xiao Wu drove towards the direction of the army. He looked carefully at the rearview mirror, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke out:

"Captain, will we be like this today make Commander Fu unhappy?"

The first rank of officials was crushed to death. He was not very worried about the commander. After all, the emperor was far away. But Fu Hua was both the leader of the regiment commander and would make him unhappy. Then how could he not cause trouble for you in the future!

Gu Jiu looked out the window and was a little careless: "I just want to make him unhappy, and I will not call me to attend such a boring dinner in the future."

Xiao Wu: “…”

Gu Jiu took out his cell phone and looked at the time pointed at, thought for a while, and called out.

"Hello."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu, who was in the driver's seat, looked at the back seat with his toes and thought that he knew who his team leader had called.

The simple person on the other side of the phone responded absent-mindedly, and Gu Jiu continued to ask:

"Have you eaten?"

Due to the time difference, it is still noon.

"I have a pot of fruit on my hand, and I want to vomit until I eat it. I can still eat it."

Gu Jiu frowned suddenly, a little displeased: "I can't eat more, so I can't continue. I'll ask Loren to bring you a soup."

"Okay! I told him myself, are you outside now?"

Gu Jiu responded, thinking that he would simply ask where he was and what he was doing when he was going out, so he only heard from the other side of the phone:

"Then let's hang up first!"

Gu Jiu: "..."

I hung up the phone, and the call lasted 48 seconds.

Wouldn't you say something more about missing him?

But even if you just listen to her voice, your mood will improve.

Xiao Wu in the driver's seat looked at Gu Jiu's side face in the rearview mirror and the curve of the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but say:

"I think you and a simple child must be very cute."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jiu turned around and unexpectedly gentle: "Is that true?"

"It's definitely! You are so handsome, simple and beautiful. The child you gave birth to inherit your genes, so how can it not be adorable!"

Xiao Wu was still sincere in the previous sentence, but when he saw Gu Jiu very useful later, he was a little bit suspicious of flattery.

The curve of Gu Jiu's mouth became more and more obvious and his eyes became more and more gentle.

...

After Gu Jiu returned to the army, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

He took a hurry to take a shower, sat on the bed, and sent a video call to Loren.

Loren quickly connected and saw Jian sitting at the desk. The table was not documents, but some fruit platters, and the bone soup I had just drunk half a bowl...

I briefly operated the desktop computer in front of me, then glanced at the tablet in Loren's hand beside me, and asked absent-mindedly:

"Are you going to bed?"

Gu Jiu responded lightly, even if she didn't ask, she honestly told her: "I just went to greet the new commander with the division commander, and I just arrived at the dormitory."

He said simply: "Then you go to bed first! I'm less than two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Don't hang up, I'll just look at you like this, you can be busy with yours."

Simple chuckled helplessly, stopped the work in his hand, took the tablet from Loren's hand, and joking with some amusement:

"Will I sing a sleeping song for you?"

"Do you do?" Gu Jiu was a little surprised.

He raised his eyebrows: "No! I just said this casually. Do you really want me to sing a sleeping song to coax you?"

Gu Jiu: "..."

"Okay, go to bed early, good night."

After saying this, he was about to press the red button when he made a gesture, but he saw Gu Jiu frowning and making a sound to stop him:

"Don't hang up, I just watched it like this. As I looked, I fell asleep. Don't hang up."

Simple:"……"

OK! Let him.

I simply returned the tablet to Loren and started to work on the data analysis table in my hand...

Gu Jiu was very obedient and didn't say anything. When he was busy, he forgot about the video call with Gu Jiu.

Then she stood up and left the office.
To be continued...
