Chapter 791 Either Choose None or Choose Both

Sure enough, gossip knows no age limit.

Ge Hongbin may look serious at best, but in fact he is actually quite frivolous at heart.

Qin Feng explained that he and the female soldier from Southeast were just ordinary friends. They had known each other before and had a brief chat when they ran into each other.

"Really? Why don't I look like him?"

"The moment you two stood there, you looked like a couple. Especially the way the girl looked at you with such affection. How could you be just friends?"

"Xiao Qin, I'm not criticizing you. If you want to date someone, just date them. Why are you doing it secretly? You can't have your cake and eat it too. Do something that would damage military discipline."

Qin Feng rolled his eyes and thought to himself, these father and son are really cut from the same cloth, like son, like father.

Along the way, Ge Hongbin kept talking about Qin Feng's personal issues.

When he learned that the two of them were really just in an ordinary relationship, he began to arrange to introduce a partner to Qin Feng.

He talked about how his old comrade-in-arms had a granddaughter, and also said that there was a female civilian soldier in their unit, and asked Qin Feng if he wanted to take the time to meet her.

Qin Feng politely declined. He didn't want to waste time on such a romantic matter.

After all, he didn't know when he would die in a mission.

Out of a sense of responsibility for others, Qin Feng is not willing to put too much thought into these matters for the time being.

Love requires most of your energy to manage, but Qin Feng doesn't have that energy or time.

It’s not too late to consider it later when he has enough time. Besides, he is only twenty-three and is not in a hurry about this matter.

But for some reason, the people around Qin Feng seem to be very concerned about his emotional issues.

Ge Hongbin, in particular, had even been tricked by a military newspaper reporter, who used him as a tool to increase the marriage rate.

Of course, Qin Feng later got back at the problem and made the other party lose face.

Ge Hongbin couldn't be persuaded, so he simply stopped discussing the topic and closed his eyes and began to doze off.

The exercise lasted for so many days, and he had been waiting in the directorate for so many days.

Although they didn't go to the battlefield, the heated arguments in the director's office were no less tense than on the battlefield.

Seeing that the deputy commander was resting, Qin Feng also closed his eyes and began to rest.

They took a flight along the way and then took another bus after getting off the plane.

By the time we arrived at the Southwest Theater Command, it was already past three in the afternoon.

When they arrived at Ge Hongbin's office, he asked Qin Feng to sit down casually and asked his secretary to go to the cafeteria to get some food.

Soon, the secretary came back with two thermos buckets containing two meals.

The dishes are all the same. Ge Hongbin doesn't have the habit of cooking for himself or making any special dishes. He just eats whatever everyone else eats.

"Eat more, I have more."

There was still a lot of rice left in Ge Hongbin's bowl.

I ate too many boxed lunches from the director's office some time ago, and recently I want to lose some fat, so I am intentionally controlling my carbohydrate intake.

This means that he has to eat more meat, eggs and milk.

Qin Feng was not polite at all and looted all the food he had not finished eating. His main point was that he would never waste anything.

Soon, he was full, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and sat up straight.

"Thank you, Chief. I'm full."

"okay."

Ge Hongbin put down his teacup and said, "I have two things to tell you."

Qin Feng: "You say."

He guessed that what Ge Hongbin wanted to tell him must be very important, otherwise he would not have asked them to run so far.

Ge Hongbin smiled and said, "A while ago, the headquarters held a meeting. The theme of the meeting was only one, and that was you."

"I?"

Qin Feng was slightly surprised.

For some reason, he inexplicably recalled the scene of old men and women gathering at the village entrance, gossiping about the Zhang and Li families.

Although this analogy is indeed a bit inappropriate, the top leaders in the war zone are all elderly men.

It does feel strange that a bunch of old men were invited to a meeting specifically to talk about themselves.

Ge Hongbin didn't know what Qin Feng was thinking, but continued, "To be precise, let's talk about your future development and your next promotion path."

"Originally, we intended to promote you before the New Year, but I still want to see if you have any ideas about what kind of position to assign you."

Qin Feng was flattered by such an arrangement.

He guessed that his superiors might want to promote him before the new year, but he didn't expect it to be put on the agenda right after the exercise.

I didn't expect that the superiors would actually ask for my opinion.

It’s like when you go to work and your boss wants to give you a raise and asks you how much you think is a suitable increase.

Should it be an increase in basic salary, bonus, or settlement in the form of annual salary dividends?

This is a great recognition of Qin Feng, and it also shows that not only Ge Hongbin, but other leaders of the headquarters also recognize him.

After all, since Ge Hongbin was willing to bring this up to me, it meant that everyone above him had reached a consensus.

"Chief, just make your own arrangements. I have no objection." Qin Feng did not break the rules, but adjusted his own position and emphasized the importance of the decisions made by superiors.

But Ge Hongbin smiled and shook his head: "For others, we can have the final say and make decisions for them, but not for you."

"You are an outstanding talent that the Southwest Theater Command has focused on training. On the road to future development, we hope to respect your opinions, which will also facilitate future work."

"After all, your personal abilities are there. Whether you're commanding, fighting alone, or even doing political work, it's no problem."

"How about this, I'll give you a few routes for reference, and you can see which one is best for you."

"First, continue to stay in the 33rd Combined Brigade, be promoted to colonel after military training, and be promoted from deputy chief of staff to chief of staff."

"Secondly, we were transferred to the 746th Regiment as regimental commanders. You may not have heard of this regiment. It's a reinforced regiment that was originally part of a field division. It's quite strong, but there's still room for improvement."

"Their old leader is about to retire, and they just need a capable person to take over."

"Third, and this is the day I personally recommend, go to the army and serve as Wei Shanhe's secretary, or go to the military staff department and serve as a staff officer first to gain some experience."

"As long as you stay in the military for a few years and gain seniority, it's possible for you to join the core circle of the Southwest Theater Command or even serve in the headquarters."

Ge Hongbin looked him in the eye and said, "Look at these three paths. Which one do you want to choose?"

"I personally prefer the latter option because it will give you greater potential in the future. After all, you still have a farm behind you."

"As long as you can keep moving up the ladder and nothing goes wrong, becoming a general in a few years is a foregone conclusion."

Ge Hongbin's words were very tempting, and Qin Feng was very moved.

This is not some empty promise made in the workplace; Deputy Commander Ge is truly thinking about him.

Not only Deputy Commander Ge, but even the commanders of the southwest region all wanted to promote a clean, capable and visionary young man to join them in taking on the responsibility of the southwest theater.

The safest and fastest way is naturally to join the army and follow Wei Shanhe.

This is like jumping directly from a city-level job to a provincial-level job. Your horizons and connections will be fully expanded.

Coupled with the backing of a farm, it is almost certain that he will become a star in the future.

If it weren't for the Zhao Pengfei incident, he might have considered the third option, so that he could help others in the future.

Whether it is Li Jiasheng, Qi Meng, Wu Jin, or the cook Chen Sanxi, the future path will be more stable and smooth.

Although everything still depends on their own efforts, at least there will be more opportunities for them, and at least no one will dare to make things difficult for them.

Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. As long as there are too many people gathered in a place, there will inevitably be some less harmonious voices. This is inevitable.

But Qin Feng has to complete the system's mission challenges within two years before he can unlock the ability to heal Zhao Pengfei.

Compared to his own future development, he hopes to see Zhao Pengfei return to the team.

So, Qin Feng's choice was: "Chief, can I choose all three paths?"
