Chapter 123 Very Dissatisfied
"What I’m saying is true. You were able to join the military because of your father’s influence..."
Gu Juntao clenched his teeth and turned to leave: "If that’s the case, I’d rather just quit the service. You think I’m useless, so what’s the point of being in the military?"
"Are you crazy?" Wang Guihua hurriedly got out of bed to stop her son: "Just hang in there a bit longer; once you get promoted, you can transfer to a good place. If you apply for discharge now, what can you do? You’ll only end up as a worker!"
She believed she was deeply concerned about her son, but who knew Gu Juntao only felt greater pain upon hearing this.
"Mom, what do you mean? If I don’t have the ability, how can I get promoted? With so many talented people, why choose me?"
"What’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten who your grandfather and father are? With them around, you’ll get promoted too. Don’t be like your brother, who just rushes forward recklessly. What’s the use of that?" Wang Guihua looked down on Gu Junming, thinking he’s just being pretentious: "Not leveraging connections and relying solely on hard work will lead to a life without success!"
Gu Juntao wasn’t the type to argue with his parents, but his heart was heavy with unspeakable frustration. Not allowed to be in a relationship or go to the disaster area—what’s he supposed to be, a waste?
"What’s with that look? Has Yang Hongying poisoned your mind? I knew she’s trouble; she can’t stand seeing you do well!"
