"How do you know soone from Captain Mu’s household?" Sun Lifang asked suspiciously when she saw Huang Xiaoyu waving familiarly at An Ran.
In her impression, wasn’t this sister from Chief Guard Huang’s family quite fond of Captain Mu?
"Sister-in-law Sun, why do you say that I can’t know her? To be honest, I just ca from Captain Mu’s house," Huang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Just ca from Captain Mu’s house? Isn’t Captain Mu at the exercises?"
Li Dajun had been at the exercise site lately, and a few days ago, when it was said that Mu Xingfeng was suddenly given a mission, Sun Lifang quietly rejoiced.
Over the years, during every exercise, her husband always seed to be overshadowed by Mu Xingfeng. Even though both held the captain’s position, Mu Xingfeng’s tactical strategies were always preemptive, enabling him to make quick and accurate judgnts. Standing next to him, Li Dajun always seed dim in comparison.
This ti, with Mu Xingfeng sent on a mission, Li Dajun finally had a chance to shine. Thinking of the post-exercise redeploynt, Sun Lifang felt like even heaven was helping them this ti.
"He went, I thought Captain Mu was at ho, but it turned out he left," Huang Xiaoyu said with a hint of regret.
Sun Lifang saw the look on Huang Xiaoyu’s face, a glint flashed in her eyes as she watched Liu Hu and An Ran head towards the gate, shaking her head in amusent, "In our Guard Team, it’s rare for captains to be assigned guards. Didn’t your brother get a guard only when he beca Chief Guard?"
"True, Captain Mu is quite a figure, despite being just a major, his accomplishnts are not few."
When Mu Xingfeng’s achievents were ntioned, Huang Xiaoyu bead with pride, as if talking about her own man.
"Hey, why do you think Captain Mu hasn’t been promoted with all his accomplishnts?"
This was also a concern for Sun Lifang. Li Dajun had many years of experience and had held the captain position for seven to eight years. Although capable, he was still far behind Mu Xingfeng.
But because he had been in this position for seven to eight years, if he didn’t seize this chance to move up, he might remain a captain for life.
A captain in the Guard Team was just a section-level cadre, and upon transferring to a local position, he would be downgraded and unlikely to find a good job.
"How would I know? Captain Mu is young, maybe they want to keep an eye on him a bit longer," Huang Xiaoyu said unsure, knowing little about such matters in the Guard Team. Still, she understood that with high accomplishnts, promotion was just a matter of ti.
"That’s true. How old is Captain Mu anyway, is he twenty-eight yet?"
"Just turned twenty-seven," Huang Xiaoyu replied.
"A twenty-seven-year-old captain, we don’t have many like those in the Empire, do we? By the way, I heard his girlfriend is studying at Nan University, could he be holding back his promotion for her? I heard if he gets promoted, he might have to transfer to another Guard Team," Sun Lifang speculated as she watched Huang Xiaoyu’s expression. Seeing a flash of jealousy in Huang Xiaoyu’s eyes when ntioning Mu Xingfeng staying in the Nan’an Guard Team for his girlfriend, Sun Lifang continued.
"Sister-in-law Sun, who’s been telling you these things? Why do n join the army? Which man would sacrifice his bright future for a woman?"
"That’s true, as the saying goes, those who don’t want to be a general are not good soldiers, and a man like Captain Mu certainly isn’t one to act indefinitely out of kindness," Sun Lifang said, laughing and covering her mouth...
