Chapter 1301: Xu Zhenyu Gets Promoted to Colonel

Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan did not continue to dwell on that topic since Zhou Tianyu obviously didn’t want to continue talking about it. Although they were feeling anxious, they did not wish to force Zhou Tianyu and decided to find out more themselves.

The thought of Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling’s ending in her previous lifetime made Wen Xinya feel extremely uneasy.

However, Gu Junling was rather sensitive and could instantly sense the tension in the air. He glanced at Zhou Tianyu and asked, “What were you guys talking about earlier on?”

Zhou Tianyu looked down to avoid eye contact with Gu Junling,

Wen Xinya answered smilingly, “Nothing much… By the way, why didn’t Xu-er come along with you guys?”

Just like in the past, Xu Zhenyu was frequently away on missions and would spend at least 300 out of 365 days a year carrying out tasks and missions. However, he was away less frequently ever since he returned to Capital city, because of the Xu Family’s supervision.

Xu Tongxuan chimed in. “He’s not going to make us wait again, is he!?!”

Gu Junling did not dwell on it any further. Instead, he answered, “Who knows? I called him just now and he said that he would be late, so he told us not to wait for him. We all know what he’s like. He’s always late and making us wait. Since he said that he’ll be coming, let’s just trust his words. We’ll drink and ignore him for now.”

They all agreed.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open and Xu Zhenyu entered, clad in an immaculate military uniform. He walked towards them and said, “I heard you guys badmouthing me. Do you guys think you’ll become as tall, handsome and rich as me just by putting me down?”

The girls burst into laughter.

While laughing, Wen Xinya threw an orange at Xu Zhenyu and chided. “What a narcissist!”

Xu Tongxuan guffawed and chastised. “I’ve never seen someone so thick-skinned like you!”

Zhou Tianyu smiled and said, “It takes talent to be so thick-skinned.”

Xu Zhenyu caught the orange and peeled the skin off before eating it. “Hey, hey! You’re not allowed to launch a personal attack. Can… we still have fun?”

Han Mofeng kicked Xu Zhenyu in displeasure and rebuked. “We were tall, handsome and rich in the first place. Must we bring you down?”

Ling Qingxuan guffawed uncontrollably. “Tall, handsome and rich? You’re barely earning enough each month. Trust you to have the cheek to say that.”

Xu Zhenyu retorted. “I like calling myself tall, handsome and rich. What’s wrong? I belong to a family of soldiers.”

At this moment, Wen Xinya noticed something different about the badges on Xu Zhenyu’s shoulders. She teased. “Ah, no wonder you praised yourself as soon as you entered. Turns out you got promoted! Colonel Xu, hurry and tell us how you managed to get this far as well as the experiences that you’ve been through, and how you feel about the promotion!”

Wen Xinya did not expect Xu Zhenyu to be promoted to Colonel, a rank that was in between a Major and an Admiral. Colonels were usually assigned to high-level missions and they were meticulously handpicked by the generals.

However, it would be harder for a Colonel to be promoted to a General. Some people would never be able to make that achievement at all.

Wen Xinya’s words made everyone turn to look at Xu Zhenyu in shock, only to see that there were two gold bars and four stars on the green epaulet of his uniform. He had indeed been promoted to a Colonel.
