Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1201 - 791_2

Zhou Hanliang had a headache. After so many years in the army, it was his first time encountering such a tricky situation. This person wouldn’t budge no matter what; what should he do?

"Crying is useless. The Division Commander has given you an hour. If you don’t write it, he’ll submit the transfer report. He’s not bluffing; he’ll definitely follow through."

"..."

"Twenty minutes have already passed. You have forty more minutes to think it over. You can cry while thinking. I’ll check back soon. Of course, if you go missing, you can guess the consequences. I won’t emphasize it."

"Wait!" Ou Jie quickly raised her head to stop Zhou Hanliang, "If... if I tell you the truth, can you... can you help me?"

...

In the conference room, Zhou Mikang was explaining the next training tasks to several regiment leaders. When he saw Zhou Hanliang push the door open and enter, his gaze unconsciously drifted to his hands, and he frowned slightly.

The regiment leaders straightened up instantly when they saw the Commander frown. As soon as Zhou Mikang announced the meeting was over, they scattered like birds and beasts, each giving Zhou Hanliang a sympathetic look as they exited...

"Didn’t write it?" Zhou Mikang twirled the pen in his hand, "Okay, I got it."

"It’s not that she didn’t write it, it’s just..." Zhou Hanliang hesitated with an embarrassed smile, "She temporarily can’t write it. Actually... actually... she’s actually helping... helping the commander."

"Helping me?" Zhou Hanliang looked at him with amusement, "Did you just get drugged with some charm? You stammer like that and don’t think it sounds ridiculous?"

"No..." Zhou Hanliang smiled bitterly, "I’m not guilty, I just didn’t expect things to be like this. Even now, I’m having trouble processing it."

But, Ou Jie is also innocent, or maybe she’s indeed talented in military matters, but in other respects..." He sighed heavily, shook his head, and said no more.

Zhou Mikang glared at him: "Alright, just get to the point already, what’s with the suspense?"

"I can tell you, but first, I need to ask the Commander something..." Zhou Hanliang looked steadily at Zhou Mikang, "Commander, How do you view Ye Meiru now?"

"Why bring her up now?" Zhou Mikang frowned, "Don’t tell me Ou Jie working here was Ye Meiru’s idea. But even if it was, it has nothing to do with helping me, right?"

"It’s not Ye Meiru’s idea, it’s..." Zhou Hanliang scratched his head, "Commander, I now feel that Ye Meiru is really impressive, really."

"Just say it, or get out!" Zhou Mikang said, picking up the folder, ready to leave.

"I’ll say it, I’ll say it..." Zhou Hanliang hurriedly looked left and right at the door, closed the conference room door, thought for a moment, then moved to sit inside before speaking: "Commander, you know Ye Meiru has a new boyfriend, right?"

"I don’t know." Zhou Mikang shook his head, looking at him blankly, "What does it matter to me whether she has a boyfriend or not? Don’t you feel your question is ridiculous?"

"I just wanted to tell you, before this moment, I didn’t know she had a boyfriend either, and it’s an especially outstanding man..." With a sigh, Zhou Hanliang continued, "I even suspect whether that man’s reputation is just exaggerated..."

Zhou Mikang interrupted him without error: "Why do you sound like you’re storytelling? Can you get to the point?"

"Alright, alright, the situation is complicated, so I was just sighing. Now I’ll start from the beginning. On the fifteenth day of the first month, Ye Meiru went to pay respects to Huang Xinlong and met Zuo Hai, who was also there, and they hit it off."

Before that, Zuo Hai and Ou Jie had a vague good impression of each other. Of course, this was according to Ou Jie herself; I don’t know the details. Anyway, Ye Meiru snatched the man Ou Jie was fond of."

Then, of course, Ou Jie wasn’t willing, so she went to Ye Meiru, hoping she wouldn’t ruin someone else’s feelings. Ye Meiru suggested that for Ou Jie to make her leave Zuo Hai, she had to break up the Commander and his wife first."

Ou Jie said she rejected Ye Meiru’s proposition at the time. She said she disliked others ruining her relationships, nor did she want to ruin others’, and then Ye Meiru told her they could bet another way."

If Ou Jie uses every means yet fails to ruin the relationship between the Commander and his wife, Ye Meiru would return Zuo Hai to her and promise never to do anything harmful to them again."

Afraid that Ou Jie would back out, Ye Meiru made Ou Jie gather her good friends and took the vow in front of everyone. If Ou Jie couldn’t ruin the Commander’s relationship within a month, she would win. If Ou Jie got transferred within a week, she’d lose."

That’s why Ou Jie refuses to leave, saying she hopes the Commander can grant her a month. By then, she’ll voluntarily apply to leave."

"Do you believe this?" Zhou Mikang looked at him, puzzled, "Whatever means Ou Jie comes up with, don’t you think Ye Meiru would foresee it? Do you believe she will abide by the bet as innocently?"

"I think so too, but Ou Jie said if the Commander helps, even if Ye Meiru doesn’t honor the bet then, she’d have no regrets..." With a sigh, Zhou Hanliang pleaded for Ou Jie, "Commander, she’s just too naive to agree to such a deal.

If you transfer her now, it equates to her losing entirely. She might harbor lifelong resentment towards you, thinking it’s better to give a genius an opportunity rather than letting hate ruin her. What do you think?"

"Knowing full well the result will be the same even if I give her an opportunity, do you really think it’s necessary?" Zhou Mikang shook his head in annoyance, "As for Zuo Hai, whom Ou Jie likes, knowing what Ye Meiru is like and still being with her, he’s no good either!"

Zhou Hanliang smiled bitterly: "Yeah, we both understand this, but Ou Jie doesn’t. She is determined to win Zuo Hai back, thinking he is just blinded by Ye Meiru’s facade, and if only Ye Meiru would back off, she’d win Zuo Hai’s heart again."

"Have her come to my office; I’ll talk with her."

"Okay." Zhou Hanliang hopped out like a rabbit, relieved he no longer had to persuade Ou Jie. Convincing a crying woman, especially one not close to him, was beyond his experience! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

...

"You have a classmate named Zuo Jiang, right?"

The moment the call connected, Zhou Mikang went straight to the point. Chuxia was puzzled but answered, "Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Do you have any interactions with him?"

"No." Chuxia quickly clarified, "Lin Mengran, Yang Xiaoli, Li Xinli, and Wu Jingbo take turns keeping me company. I’ve never been alone, and I’ve never interacted with any boy."

The Division Commander, Tongzi, subtly curled his lips, but his voice remained emotionless: "I just asked something, and you explained at length. What are you guilty about?"
