Chapter 308: Decision 308
"That’s something for the future. I’m talking about this year. I just applied with the leaders, and they haven’t agreed yet. Can you speak to them on my behalf? I’ve looked through the first task.
Any task is fine, just not a long-term one.
Honestly, I feel grateful, but at the same time, I regret it very much. I shouldn’t have married her now; it’s not fair to her.
So I want to complete the task quickly so I can spend more time with her."
Actually, Tan Shaoting would prefer to take leave in the spring or summer, so his wife wouldn’t be so exhausted.
But he knows this idea is not realistic. Even like this, the leaders haven’t directly agreed.
"Your idea is very good, but this is a disciplined organization. It’s not about what you want to do. Otherwise, it would be chaos in the future."
Tan Shaoting understood what this meant, "I know, but there should be exceptions, right? I’ll complete the most difficult tasks."
Zhang Chunsheng is not foolish either. He knows it’s indeed inhumane for the newlywed couple to be separated like this, and he’s most afraid of Tan Shaoting wanting to leave.
Given his performance over the years, he could certainly opt to leave. You can’t forever restrain a person with a sense of honor or duty; one excuse is enough.
"Alright, I’ll discuss this with the leaders. But you should first focus on completing your tasks."
Of course, Tan Shaoting understood, so he didn’t say much. It’s enough that the higher-ups understand his intentions. Actually, relatively speaking, they’re quite free.
