Chapter 243 - 46 Banquet
"Rest assured," Shen Chi chuckled softly, "though Yu Bingliang is also a Major General, he’s not worth worrying about for me."
Seeing Lin Xiaoguai’s puzzled face, he affectionately wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Where do you think his Lieutenant General rank came from?"
"Yu Bingliang lacks both ability and connections. If it weren’t for sheer luck, not to mention Major General, he would probably have died on the battlefield long ago."
"Luck?" Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat confused, she didn’t understand what kind of luck could let someone leap up the ranks to Major General so easily.
"Yeah," Shen Chi quickly stole a kiss and said, "You should know about the old chief who just passed away. During the Korean War, that old man went to the battlefield himself because of his eldest son’s sacrifice and ended up being saved by Yu Bingliang. As it indirectly saved the then precarious New China, the Staff Department later discussed and promoted him from Lieutenant to Major General."
"From Lieutenant to Major General!?" Lin Xiaoguai’s face was full of disbelief.
"That’s right," Shen Chi said, somewhat amused, "but where is the honor in that? Those in the Staff Department were really mocking him and, of course, they were also shutting up the soldiers below. Sadly, Yu Binglian is too full of himself to understand their meaning and really thinks he’s something special."
Lin Xiaoguai grew even more confused, "From what you’re saying, it seems the Staff Department isn’t very friendly towards Yu Bingliang. Why is that?" Everyone knew that the old chief at that time was very popular.
