Old Master Cheng gathered his sons who were in charge of the family matters to discuss the future direction of his grandson, Cheng Jiasheng.
Cheng Jiasheng, the son of Cheng Yaozong, is twenty-three this year and studying at a military academy. He is currently the only male in the Cheng family pursuing a military career, so both Old Master Cheng and his uncle, Cheng Yaoguang, among others, place great importance on him.
Attending a military academy already makes him an enlisted soldier, and he is studying a specialized course, which provides him a solid background. So upon graduation, he’ll be eligible for getting a platoon position.
But Old Master Cheng does not see it that way.
Military rank can be conferred, of course, but when it cos to real battlefield missions, lacking genuine strength will simply make one cannon fodder.
The Cheng family has never intended for Cheng Jiasheng to take a re clerical role. Since he has chosen to be in politics and military, he should strive for military rits in these areas.
However, these can only be achieved based on personal strength, and to gain such strength, one must undergo rigorous training.
Of course, as a son of a distinguished family, seeking stability in command or information services, weapons research, etc., can also lead to success. But that is not what the Cheng family desires.
In Old Master Cheng’s eyes, a real soldier must have shed blood and killed enemies to be considered a true iron-blooded warrior. A sissy soldier is not sothing the Cheng family wants.
"...Sending him to grassroots is a good place for training. Participating in a few missions will provide valuable experience, and military rits will naturally follow," said Old Master Cheng.
"What does Old Master an?" Cheng Yaozong asked cautiously, glancing at his elder brother.
"Let Jiasheng go to the local unit, retaining his rank, starting from the bottom. He’s studying reconnaissance and information, so gaining practical experience in these areas would be beneficial," Old Master Cheng said.
"What does elder brother think?"
"I agree with Dad. But what do you think? Jiasheng is your son, after all," Cheng Yaoguang replied.
Entering into combat ans undertaking missions on the battlefield. If luck is bad or skills are insufficient, it might result in sacrifice during the mission. Cheng Jiasheng is the eldest son of the second son, so naturally, caution is needed.
"If Dad and elder brother agree, then I have no objection, but where to go?"
Cheng Yaoguang glanced towards Old Master Cheng, knowing that since he brought it up, he must have already planned it.
"Go to Qing City," Old Master Cheng lightly tapped the table and said, "Her husband Qi Taiguo cos from a rural background with no lineage, but he is brave in battle and has earned remarkable military rits. Even though I haven’t t him, such a person surely has unique qualities. Let Jiasheng go and learn from him, it wouldn’t be a bad idea."
Moreover, Qi Taiguo is already a deputy battalion commander and affiliated with the Ning family faction. Training under him is far better than serving as a clerk in an institution.
Cheng Yaoguang was not in the least surprised; hearing Qi Taiguo’s na had already pointed him in that direction.
"There’s another matter I want to discuss with you," Old Master Cheng paused, looking at his two accomplished sons, and said slowly, "I intend to recognize Cheng Su as a foster daughter, what do you think?"
Suxin might never be found, and Cheng Su’s presence greatly fills the regret and longing in Old Master Cheng’s heart.
Additionally, he feels a deep connection with Cheng Su, finding her very agreeable; acknowledging her as a foster relative wouldn’t be an issue.
If Suxin cannot be found, then Cheng Su would beco like both daughter and sister.
