Li Yuchu looked at Commander Gu Zechen’s guard, Xiao Yu, and could not help but curl the corners of her lips.
"You seem to have an opinion about me?"
The other party hurriedly shouted loudly,
"No, absolutely not! You are an honored guest!"
Li Yuchu glanced at him before slowly walking toward the office again.
Xiao Yu behind her was drenched in sweat.
Was his expression that obvious?
It was not that he did not know how to control himself, but this little ancestor was simply too much trouble!
Since Commander Gu returned in the afternoon, he had already received dozens of phone calls.
From the Division Commander, the Army Commander, and even the Commander, and even other brother departments had called over with sharp, biting remarks.
Why?
Because this little ancestor complained across military branches, with the Navy and Air Force exerting pressure at the same time.
This was simply pressing the face of their Army into the ground and stepping on it!
In all his years since he enlisted in the army, he had never seen anyone make the Political Commissar and Commander Gu this angry.
The Political Commissar was like a wound-up clock, pacing back and forth non-stop.
Commander Gu was usually stern and rarely smiled, but he had been angered into laughing several times all afternoon!
Before Li Yuchu reached the entrance, she heard Gu Zechen’s voice.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well and not let our comrade-in-arms and the young lady feel disheartened!"
What, it seems the bombardment hasn't ended yet?
Just wait, they will be the laughingstock of the entire military circles for many years because of this.
And this is just the beginning?
Besides, at most they will just be laughed at; it won't affect Gu Zechen’s normal promotion and salary increase!
In her previous life, she died so miserably; wasn't it all the evil caused by Yang Yunkai?
When Song Qian colluded with that criminal to kidnap her, who understood her feelings of despair and pain?
To put it bluntly, wasn't it because Gu Zechen, as a leader, failed to do his job properly!
Making him lose a little face in this life is not a big deal!
……
"Comrade Xiao Li, you're here. Please come in, please sit down!
Would you like to drink sugar water or tea? Are you hot? I'll fan you!"
Li Yuchu looked at the attentive appearance of Political Commissar Qi and could not help but laugh inwardly.
"Political Commissar Qi, you are so enthusiastic that I am a little afraid!"
Gu Zechen, who had just hung up the phone on the side, raised his eyebrows.
Her? Afraid? In his eyes, her courage was simply sky-high!
"Commander Gu, I wonder if you called me over to pay back the debt for Yang Yunkai?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Political Commissar Qi looked at her blank and innocent face, truly unsure if she was pretending or not.
Gu Zechen gritted his back teeth.
"This is the passbook. There were too many people this morning, and I could not set this precedent!"
Li Yuchu looked at the passbook on the table, and her eyes instantly lit up.
"Wow, you really do care for your subordinates, willing to help pay back so much money.
No wonder the widow is unwilling to leave?"
The young soldier on the side wished he could strangle himself; he really wanted to laugh but felt very frustrated!
Political Commissar Qi also looked pale; what was all this?
Gu Zechen’s expression remained unchanged.
"Take a look!"
Li Yuchu was a little puzzled.
"This money is not right! There is an extra thousand; could it be hush money?
Rest assured, I won't go around telling people that Deputy Battalion Commander Yang slept with the benefactor's widow!
It doesn't look good; I understand!"
……
Even Gu Zechen took a deep breath, not to mention Political Commissar Qi and Xiao Yu.
This face is truly beautiful, but it's a shame she has a mouth!
"Didn't you say you wanted some compensation for mental distress? The extra money is for that!"
Li Yuchu happily put the passbook into her bag.
Oh my, she became a little rich woman all of a sudden!
What if she went to rob Song Qian’s house? Could she sit on a pile of money to eat?
Before she could be happy for long,
Gu Zechen shouted toward the outside,
"Come in!"
Li Yuchu looked outside. Oh my, the benefits are really good; a Regiment Commander eats four dishes and one soup for a meal?
And there is a roasted chicken?
Is the world fantasy now?
In this era, everything is in short supply; let alone roasted chicken, many families don't even see oil all year round!
Gu Zechen smiled at her slightly, which instantly dazzled her eyes. Why hadn't she noticed before that Gu Zechen looked so masculine?
If this were in the 21st century, he would definitely be a top influencer and a hunk!
But the next second, this man withdrew his smile.
"Comrade Li Yuchu, I heard you didn't even get to eat dinner.
This is all prepared for you. Please help yourself, don't be polite!"
Li Yuchu blinked her eyes.
"Is that necessary? Being hungry is healthier!"
"No, eat more so you have the strength to cry while making phone calls!"
Damn it, he was waiting for her here!
Li Yuchu was almost stuffed at the Zhang family; how could she eat any more?
"Can I pack it up and take it back?"
Gu Zechen was very serious.
"No, watching you eat is my mission!"
She smiled ingratiatingly.
"Is that necessary?
My clothes today are very indecent; it's not very elegant to gorge myself in such a solemn place as your office!"
Gu Zechen frowned.
"That is true, however... you don't need to worry about that!"
As he spoke, he took a bag out of the cabinet.
"The leaders heard that you were starving and penniless, and the townspeople are all saying you are dressed like a beggar.
So, also as compensation, go and change into this!"
Li Yuchu felt her scalp tingle. Was he going against her?
She looked at the light blue dress in the bag. To be honest, it was really nice; it was a color she liked.
"Commander Gu, are you this good to every victim?"
"You don't need to worry about that.
If you don't change your clothes, hurry up and eat!
We will watch you eat, and I guarantee you will eat until you are full!"
Li Yuchu looked at the steaming food on the table. People in this era are truly honest; why make such a large amount?
"I'm really not hungry!"
"No, you are very hungry!"
Li Yuchu’s patience ran out, and she slapped the table with a bang.
"Gu Zechen, you did this on purpose, right? Are you taking revenge?"
Gu Zechen looked puzzled.
"Why would I take revenge? I am making up for the mistake caused by my negligence!
Money, clothes, food—aren't these all things you urgently need?"
Political Commissar Qi saw that the two were about to argue and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
"Xiao Li, he is just a blockhead; he is too rigid in doing things. Don't hold it against him!
How about this, you take it all back to eat, okay? Don't be angry."
Most importantly, stop making phone calls to complain!
Li Yuchu suddenly felt very aggrieved, and her eyes turned red.
A few big men bullying a girl who was weak and unable to hold a chicken?
"Shut up!
Gu Zechen, let me tell you, don't think about shielding Yang Yunkai and that widow!
Is the harm I suffered something you can understand?
What's wrong with me calling my brother, sister-in-law, sister, and brother-in-law?
I am living a bad life, being bullied, and I can only suffer in silence?
I traveled thousands of miles alone to get married, with no one to rely on.
I was betrayed by my fiancé, tricked by Song Qian many times openly and secretly, my money was stolen, and who in the family courtyard hasn't accused me of being unreasonable and not taking care of the widow?
I am more wronged than Dou E; can't I complain to my family?
It was clearly your poor management and failure to implement policies, and now you want to blame me?
Are you a man?
I hate you all here!"
She cried while wiping her tears.
"If you don't give me an explanation, I won't leave.
Wherever you go, I will follow, even to the toilet!
I will call my in-laws and my uncle whenever I have nothing to do, and go to the Navy to file a major complaint against you!"
