"Of course, during this process, you will also undergo specialized training. I believe that, considering future developnt, Fierce Tiger is more suitable for you."
Indeed, it’s a very tempting offer!
But for Luo Ye, she wants power and additional freedom, but there’s a precondition, she cannot betray Jiang Zheng who had shown her great kindness.
So, when Vice Chairman Lin finished speaking, Luo Ye responded without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness and recognition, sir. May I ask, is this assignnt mandatory?"
Vice Chairman Lin, who was about to lift his teacup, paused ever so slightly and answered, "You have the choice to either stay with Team A or join Fierce Tiger."
"I want to stay with Team A!" Luo Ye stated firmly.
Vice Chairman Lin looked at her thoughtfully. In his opinion, Luo Ye should have been overwhelmingly excited and imdiately accepted the offer!
Power and freedom going hand-in-hand, working alongside the highest leaders, opportunities naturally more than others; isn’t that what young people like the most?
"Luo Ye, have you thought it through? Fierce Tiger, although newly established, has more demanding requirents for its personnel in terms of the nature of their work.
Being admitted to Fierce Tiger is a high recognition of your talent. In other words, a qualified mber of Team A might not be accepted by Fierce Tiger, but a qualified mber of Fierce Tiger will definitely be accepted by Team A. You understand the difference, right?"
Obviously, Vice Chairman Lin thought that Luo Ye didn’t understand the nature of Fierce Tiger, so he explained it very directly.
Luo Ye stared at Vice Chairman Lin seriously: "I understand where the difference lies, but I still choose Team A. I don’t want to leave Team A when I haven’t even started the substantive phase of work yet.
The army needs loyal soldiers, and I think, I should start from here first. Sir, you will support , right?"
With Luo Ye having said that, Vice Chairman Lin found it hard to persuade her further and could only laugh it off: "Well, you better discuss it with your family, especially your grandpa and your dad. Listen to their opinions and then call when you’ve decided."
"Yes!" Luo Ye nodded in agreent. With the other party’s status at stake, she couldn’t afford not to give face, could she?
...
Speaking of Lian Qinghua, after taking Qiao Xiaowan back to the hotel, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn’t believe her daughter did anything wrong. In her view, it’s only natural for a woman to fight for love, and moreover, it was her daughter who knew Ye Xuan first. No matter how you look at it, it was Luo Ye’s fault.
Alright, if this battle was lost, then it was lost. Her daughter was young and beautiful; even if she didn’t marry into the Ye Family, there were plenty of talented young n eager to look her way.
But the current problem was, if this situation was made known and spread, her daughter would never be able to establish herself in the country. Who would marry such a joke back ho?
Sending her daughter abroad for study was one thing; hiding abroad and never returning was another. After much thought, she felt she must find a way again. Even if her family’s influence was far-reaching, it couldn’t extend into the power of the Military Departnt. The only way was to seek help from her father-in-law, Qiao Dongsong.
She harbored a belly full of grievances towards her father-in-law. That day during the performance, he was clearly present and even visited his granddaughter in the hospital. But what infuriated her was that as soon as they arrived, the old man imdiately returned to Beijing. Before leaving, he even advised them not to make too big a fuss; his attitude was clearly dismissive of Xiaowan!
She had intended not to interact with the Qiao Family elders for a while, but now, her husband’s influence was obviously insufficient, and she had to turn to her father-in-law. Her father-in-law was friends with the leaders of the Military Departnt, and she thought, they should be willing to give her father-in-law face.
Thinking this way, Lian Qinghua looked towards her daughter curled up on the couch, dazed: "Xiaowan, there are plenty of good n out there; I don’t believe that without Ye Xuan, we can’t find soone better."
"There are better ones, but they wouldn’t marry ," Qiao Xiaowan responded listlessly.
Lian Qinghua sat beside her and wrapped her arm around her: "I’m going to call your dad now, let him ask the old man. As long as this matter is suppressed, everything will be fine."
Qiao Xiaowan looked up with surprise: "Yes, why didn’t I think of that? You’re so smart, Mom."
"Silly girl, learn from your setbacks. In the future, when facing an opponent, even if they’re dying, you can’t let them know what’s in your heart, understand?"
Qiao Xiaowan nodded: "I understand, Mom, please make the call quickly."
The phone went through, and upon hearing Lian Qinghua’s request, Qiao Aimin sighed: "Lian Qinghua, you’re still obstinate. Have you ever reflected why your daughter ended up like this today?
Why did your dad say that before he left? Haven’t you thought about it? From your daughter’s behavior upon waking up, he concluded that this matter might not be anyone else’s fault.
Later, I beca more certain of my father’s conjecture, which is why I kept reminding you, spare others when you can.
But what about you? Every ti I bring up this topic, you accuse of not caring about our daughter. She is my own flesh and blood; how could I not care?
However, if I follow your thod of caring for her today, her life will be nothing but bleak in the future. Listen to , let her go abroad. Let this matter pass."
Lian Qinghua yelled: "Qiao Aimin, do you think that by telling , from the start, you and your dad suspected it was our daughter’s doing, I would think you are so perceptive?
Qiao Aimin, you’re wrong! She’s your own daughter; doubting her is where you err, whether she did it or not, you can’t suspect her!"
"Insane!"
Listening to the "beep beep" of the dial tone at the other end, Lian Qinghua felt like she would go crazy. She grabbed Qiao Xiaowan: "We’re going to see your dad right now. If he dares not to care, I’ll divorce him!"
