Chapter 479

"And what else..."

Hua Jianhua lowered his voice and gossiped to Bai Ying quietly, "You know all of the cadres in our army, right?"

Bai Ying wondered, "One regimental commander, three battalion commanders, and each battalion commander has three company commanders under him. Isn't that the case with every regiment?"

"Hey, our army is a little different. Although we have three battalion commanders on paper, there are only two left in our army right now: Captain Wang and Captain Fang. The other one, Captain Qin, has been staying in the provincial hospital for rehabilitation. Recently, news came that he hasn't recovered and probably won't be able to return, so he has to retire. So, with Captain Qin's departure, the position of battalion commander will be vacant. Shen Ao has made great contributions this time, and it is very likely that he will be directly promoted to battalion commander to take over Captain Qin's job!"

At this point, Hua Jianhua lowered his voice and said, "It's only because of our relationship that I told you this in advance. Please don't tell anyone! The appointment hasn't been made yet, so it's not allowed to be disclosed."

Bai Ying touched her nose and fell silent.

Uh......

I really admire Hua Jianhua's outgoing nature.

It was obvious that she spent more time with He Shiwen than with Hua Jianhua.

Hua Jianhua felt that they were already very familiar with each other. Maybe making friends also depends on chemistry. If you get along well with someone, it will feel like you have known each other for a long time at first sight. If you don’t get along well with someone, there will be no sparks even if you spend more time together.

Dismissing this strange thought, Bai Ying looked at Hua Jianhua curiously, "Captain Hua, you and Shen Ao are both company commanders. How come Shen Ao, a newcomer, got promoted so quickly? Aren't you unhappy...?"

"No," Hua Jianhua curled his lips. "I'm different from other company commanders. The battalion is full of men, so why would I go there? Being the company commander of my female company is good enough, unless they set up a special female battalion for me to manage."

Bai Ying admired him very much.

Soon, the aroma of food wafted from the house, and Wen Shuyu called out, "The meal is ready! Baiying, would you like to stay for lunch?"

"No, Senior Brother Wen, I haven't been home for several days, and I still have to clean up the house."

Bai Ying politely declined, but did not forget to take Jiahui, who was reluctant to leave and was playing with Huasheng, with her.

"Peanut, see you at school tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"

The two children said goodbye reluctantly.

Although Hua Jianhua heard that Captain Wang waited for her outside the infirmary every day, she thought that her old injury had relapsed, which was why Captain Wang was so anxious.

But Bai Ying felt that there was no need to be so anxious for now.

The house she and Shen Ao lived in had not been cleaned for so many days, and they still had to sleep at night, so it would be more urgent to dry the quilts and clean up the house first.

After returning home, Bai Ying started to get busy.

Jiahui helped sensibly, and after Bai Ying finished cleaning, Shen Ao also returned to the family compound.

Perhaps because he was concerned that Bai Ying's body had not fully recovered, he did not intend to let Bai Ying cook. He directly took three meals and rice from the cafeteria back to eat.

At the dinner table, Bai Ying told Shen Ao that Hua Jianhua told her that Shen Ao was very likely to be promoted.

Shen Ao paused while picking up the food and nodded, "That's indeed the case."

Bai Ying glanced at Shen Ao in confusion, confirming that she didn't see any surprise on his face. She couldn't help but wonder, "You're getting promoted, why do you seem unhappy?"

Shen Ao shook his head, his face calm and composed. He ate his meal slowly and said, "There's nothing to be happy about. That person hasn't been caught."

Bai Ying lowered her head silently.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Should she tell everything she knows to help Shen Ao?

Bai Ying hesitated for only a moment before making a decision. She looked up at Shen Ao with sincerity in her eyes.

"Shen Ao, I've actually seen that person before. He..."
