Chapter 6 chapter Five

Holding a telescope, Jiang Tao stood on the rock that Yin Guocai had stood on in the morning in front of the command tent, and looked down the mountain to the north.As soon as the jeep of the head of the army division disappeared from view, he put down the binoculars, turned his head easily, and looked at Deputy Director He (who stayed when the army commander left), Yin Guocai and others who came out of a nearby tent. The female military doctor Zhang Li smiled knowingly, jumped off the rock, pulled a military folding chair, sat down with her legs apart, and called out to her guards: "Liu Erzhu, tell the kitchen to serve dinner!"

Two cooking soldiers appeared immediately, as if they had been standing by the side, waiting for the commander's call.In a blink of an eye, a round dining table was set up in front of Jiang Tao, with four sets of bowls and chopsticks, two large plates of freshly cooked steamed buns, a pot of rice porridge, and four delicate side dishes.Liu Erzhu moved out three folding chairs from the command tent. Jiang Tao was not polite. He first picked up a bun with his chopsticks, took a bite, and then shouted to others: "Come and eat—" The other three sat down around the table.Looking at each other, they both looked a little excited.

Yin Guocai was excited because this morning he boldly "covered" the regiment commander in front of the army commander and division commander. If the three of them hadn't bumped into the army commander's eyes later, he thought he had almost succeeded.This incident showed his hard-core loyalty to the leader, and Jiang Tao would not be unaware of it in the future. From this, he felt that his personal relationship with the leader had become more intimate.He Yan was excited because he watched a good show at Maoerling this morning, and saw with his own eyes Zhang Li, a female military doctor at L Division Hospital who was said to be in love with Jiang Tao.He is Jiang Tao's friend, and was dubbed by the latter as his "insider" at the military headquarters. He thought that although strictly speaking Zhang Li was not beautiful, it was not worthwhile for Jiang Tao to cause rumors about such a woman, but Jiang Tao dared to He was almost showing his "love" openly, and the innocent looking woman sitting opposite actually gave him active cooperation, which made him feel as happy as watching a thrilling show from the sidelines .Zhang Li's excitement comes from all the things that happened in the past two days: Yesterday, the third dressing station of the division hospital was ordered to strengthen the A regiment, and the forward command post of the regiment needed to leave a military doctor behind. Get off her.Although he didn't explain the reason to her, one thing is certain: Jiang Tao's doing so shows that his relationship with him is getting closer to true love.She even enthusiastically thought that this incident might be a sign that Jiang Tao couldn't leave her anymore, and this was exactly what she was looking forward to.It was based on this idea that she bravely accepted Jiang Tao's act of almost making their relationship public, and stayed in Maoerling, so she passively experienced everything in the morning with Jiang Tao.She knew what others and even the head of the military division would think of her, but as long as Jiang Tao could fall in love with herself, she didn't care about all of that.Zhang Li's excitement also came from Deputy Director He sitting opposite.In her feeling, Deputy Director He seems to be more personable than Jiang Tao, whom she is passionately in love with. This person who obviously has a good personal relationship with Jiang Tao has been looking at her with admiring eyes all morning until now, which makes her nervous. Cannot be reduced.Jiang Tao's excitement was because he felt that everything that happened this morning was like an adventure.Last night, the troops secretly entered the hidden area. In the morning, he thought of going to the woods to clear his mind, so he called Zhang Li to hunt birds together, but Zhang Li's enthusiasm in the forest almost made him confide to her the kind that he had been brewing in his heart lately. Warm feelings; he didn't expect the head of the military division to come, but they came, and let him experience a slightly embarrassing scene by the forest.He knew that his relationship with Zhang Li was innocent, so he defeated everyone's suspicious eyes with a frank smile. This incident made him feel as happy as winning a battle; then, he used this opportunity again , expressing his dissatisfaction with the head of the military division for letting the B regiment fight the main peak, while letting his A regiment fight the relatively unimportant Qipanling.He thought that although he still failed to change the commander's determination (today, it was too late for them to do so), he undoubtedly left a deep impression on the commander.Of course, the last words of the army commander also left a deep impression on him.All in all, he is quite satisfied with his performance this morning. The only confusion is: the combat plan of regiment A has already been submitted to the two-level headquarters of the military division and has been approved. Need to come again.But the old man had come today, and there must be some special reason which he did not understand.

"Hey, what's the matter with the army commander coming to my place today?" As soon as the breakfast started, he asked He Yan the question that he was most concerned about at this time in a casual tone. The eyes of the other two people at the dining table also fell on He Yan's face.Zhang Li was purely curious in an excited state of mind, but Yin Guocai was like a hunting dog smelling the scent of prey, and his eyes suddenly brightened. He Yan didn't answer right away, he smiled serenely, drank the porridge in a gentle manner, tore the buns into small balls, put them in his mouth, and picked pickily from the dishes with chopsticks.He knew that the news he was about to tell would be explosive to Jiang Tao, so he deliberately used an understatement.

"You really don't know?" He asked back, "Recently, your division has been requesting the military party committee to exchange you with Commander Liu of C regiment." Zhang Li failed to understand the meaning of his words, but shifted her excited eyes from He Yan to Jiang Tao; Yin Guocai had already smelled something strange—the C regiment was the reserve team of the division, and Jiang Tao and the C regiment Regimental Commander Liu's swap is tantamount to withdrawing the former from the front line—but he is still not sure about his own thoughts, or he is not willing to believe it, but the excited expression on his face is destroyed, and his mouth is opened. Close; Jiang Tao's two thick eyebrows raised upwards in surprise, and two dark cloud-like shadows floated quickly in his eyes.It was the first time he had heard the news above, and it was not so much that he didn't understand the meaning at first, but it was more difficult to face up to the news itself.

"Swapping?" He smiled slightly.His eyes instinctively avoided He Yan's gaze, "What does this mean?" "You should understand the meaning." He Yan looked at him, and the outsider's insightful smile appeared again on the corner of his mouth, "Do you think that the head of your division believes in your commanding ability so much? This is a war, not a drill , Victory is very important to our country and to everyone. And you two—” He looked at Zhang Li opposite with a smile, and his eyes returned to Jiang Tao’s face”—not everyone said good things about you . . . have I made it clear enough?"

Jiang Tao still smiled, but that smile was no longer natural, as if a dark cloud was slowly gathering from the sky; but he was not Yin Guocai after all, and he would not immediately expose all his inner emotions to the eyes of this friend in front of him.For a moment his eyes stopped smiling, but the smile on his cheeks was hardened, and he asked in his usual loud voice: "Then... what is the commander's attitude?" "The army commander arrived at the command post of the A regiment this morning, and gave you one last time to win tomorrow's battle." He Yan poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth, picked up a napkin and wiped his lips, indicating that his breakfast was over .He looked directly into Jiang Tao's eyes, and his words became firm and loud, "This shows one thing, that is, at least until midnight tomorrow, there will not be another person to replace your Excellency; but the commander I also gave Liu Daoming, head of the B group, the same amount of time, which has a lot of meaning." He paused, wanting to see if Jiang Tao could guess what he said next. "From my perspective as an outsider, what will start tomorrow is not only a war between our army and the enemy of Gongmu Mountain, but the outcome of it will probably determine whether you or Commander Liu will lead Division L in the next few years. ...Also," his gaze swept across Jiang Tao and Zhang Li again, with a hint of ridicule in it, "the result of tomorrow's battle will probably affect the attitude of the higher-ups towards the two of you, and decide whether to leave or stay after the war." "He laughed again, the seriousness in his eyes disappeared, and became relaxed and bright again, "Commander Jiang, this is the real reason why I stayed at the command post of your regiment for a while this morning." He only looked at Jiang Tao Said, "Now it's time for you to send me back to the army."

The sunlight from the east to the southeast is now shining directly on the dining table.The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite different from just now.Yin Guocai sat upright, his face darkened. Although Zhang Li hadn't fully understood the meaning of He Yan's words, she understood that it was not good for Jiang Tao and herself, and the smile on her face withered like a failed flower. up.Jiang Tao stood up with He Yan, and there was no smile on his face at all, just like a cloudless sky just now, although there is no thunder and lightning at this moment, dark clouds have already covered it heavily.At this moment, he was still calm, and what supported this calmness was no longer his always good self-feeling, but the pride and self-esteem that was deeply irritated in the face of the sudden blow.He told Yin Guocai to send a car, and while approaching He Yan, he slapped He Yan heavily on the shoulder with his fist - this is a unique way of intimacy between them - looked into the other's eyes gratefully and forcefully, and said loudly:

"Good He Yan, enough friends!" A jeep drove up. "Goodbye, Commander Jiang, take care of yourself! ... Goodbye, everyone!" Even at the final farewell, Deputy Director He's demeanor was still elegant and calm, which formed a sharp contrast with Jiang Tao, who was already showing a little anxiety on his face. . "Goodbye, Deputy Director He!" The three people outside the car replied. The jeep moved.In a blink of an eye, it had disappeared into the forest below the mountain. The three remaining people went back to the table and sat down.From then on, Yin Guocai and Zhang Li noticed that Jiang Tao's expression changed little by little.Just now it was a face that was trying to keep calm, but in an instant, it had turned into a furious, iron-blue face.From his familiar eyes, there was almost fire.

"Zhang Li, you go back to your tent!... Chief of Staff, you go too! You all go, leave me alone for a while!" Suddenly, he raged at them.Not only were the words exasperated, they were also rude.In an instant, Jiang Tao, who was so familiar in the past, suddenly became strange in their eyes! Yin Guocai's reaction was sensitive. Just after Jiang Tao finished speaking, he jumped up from the chair reflexively.Looking back at Zhang Li, he noticed that the female military doctor's eye circles were rapidly turning red.Zhang Li was first taken aback by Jiang Tao's attitude towards her at this time, and then a grievance welled up in her heart.Zhang Li thought, especially this morning, she shouldn't be treated like this here, let alone in front of Yin Guocai and the soldiers!She hadn't had an easy time here this morning either.The division wants to replace you, that is between them and you, should you be angry at me because of this?She wanted to say something to him, but felt that she had nothing to say to him at the moment, and she didn't want others to see the tears welling up in her eye sockets, so she stood up abruptly and ran quickly to her tent go!

Zhang Li disappeared into the tent where she lived alone.Yin Guocai turned his head and was about to remind Jiang Tao that his attitude towards Zhang Li was too rough today, and Jiang Tao's angry eyes had already hit him in the face like a fist.He didn't delay for a moment, and immediately walked to the command tent, and at the same time winked at Liu Erzhu, who was at a loss, "The leader is really annoyed today." After entering the tent, Yin Guo thought, "He is not usually a bad tempered person." A good person, but it's the first time I've seen him so annoyed like today, and his relatives don't recognize him!..." Now Jiang Tao was the only one left in the open space in front of the command tent.He spread his legs apart, sat down at the dining table again, looked at the mountains rising into the sky in the south with a pair of fiery eyes, and felt that the anger in his heart had just rolled up like a dark cloud before the rainstorm! What made him feel the most intensely at this moment, filling his entire consciousness of life like choking smoke was not only the fact that he almost lost the opportunity to command the A regiment tomorrow, but more importantly, there were other implications in this matter. One level of meaning: when he was busy day and night at the forward command post of the A Regiment to fight the battle of Qipanling, thinking that he would make great achievements, there were still some people who slandered his commanding ability and conduct behind his back. I don't want to believe him at all, and give him the chance to command the battle this time.It was the latter point that was a great humiliation that his pride and self-esteem could not bear.Jiang Tao admitted that his relationship with the division has not been good in the two years since he became the head of the regiment. There have been people who have been slandering his reputation and talent in front of his superiors, but he doesn't understand how they can do things like this this time, and the specific reasons What is it again.Could it be because he is the son of a general again!Or is it really because of his current relationship with Zhang Li? A person tends to reveal his whole personality clearly to the outside world when his emotions are most intense.Jiang Tao was sitting there at the moment, with many thoughts rolling through his chest, completely unaware of the almost innate sense of superiority in his life, the strong self-esteem, pride and self-confidence built on the superiority , as well as the connected sense of professionalism and mission, and the strife deep in his character are unconsciously clearly revealed through his stiff, head held high, and angry sitting posture. Jiang Tao spent his childhood and youth in the compound of a high-level military institution.His father made outstanding achievements in the war years and was honest and honest in peacetime, so he won great prestige within the army.This is a revolutionary with a strict life style that is common among his generation. He has been very strict with Jiang Tao since he was a child.He forbids his son to enter his office and study casually, forbids him to be different from other children, and forbids him to have any thoughts of looking down on the workers and peasants outside the compound.Jiang Tao's childhood world is a part of his father's world, but his father's world is not the whole of his world.In addition to his father, Jiang Tao also has a mother who dotes on his son very much. There are obedient guards, drivers, nannies and cooks. When he is a little older, he adds kindergarten aunts and children. .Jiang Tao understood very early on that he was different from other children, otherwise he would not be able to explain many things, such as why the guard uncle reprimanded the child and the child's parents but not him when he was fighting with a child; He is shabby but has enough food and clothing all year round; why he can get everything he wants, but other children can't, and so on.From the day he was born, he has been passively accepting these inequalities, and when he grows up to understand them, it will be impossible to get rid of this sense of superiority from the depths of his heart, let alone from his In my eyes, it is not necessary.Life gave him this consciousness, and it became not only the most important part of his worldview, but also the basis for him and the precondition for the maintenance of his special personality and dignity.A long time later, he read the words of Mencius: "Heaven will send a great mission to the people..." After reading it, he felt that these words seemed to be aimed at people like himself.People are different from each other. He is him because he was born in a special place, well-educated, and smart. From a very young age, he knew that he must make contributions and be an extraordinary person.In this way, the sense of superiority deep in his heart is not only not harmful, but also seems to be a necessity, a guarantee and motivation for realizing his lofty ideals. His father was another school on Jiang Tao's growth path.As a teenager, without realizing that his father's school had opened to him, he had already read the esoteric words of that textbook.When he was not very sensible, he was used to seeing the respectful, cautious and even fearful demeanor of those who came to visit, visit, ask for something or report something in front of his father.The people who are qualified to step into Jiang Tao's house are some high-ranking military officers. Their cautious behavior and uneasy look have made his unsmiling father year after year in Jiang Tao's mind indescribably tall and majestic.He had already understood a lot at the age of twelve: only a person like his father who has made countless achievements in the journey of life will be granted such great power one day.Father's success was his success in the military.In the past, he always felt that his father was far away from him. From this day on, he suddenly felt that he was very close to his father, and his father became the person he really admired.Yet he had just finished reading the inscription on the title page of his father's great book.As long as he glanced at his father's success, he immediately saw the glory of the war and his father's career in the war. Just like every farmer's child knows a lot of knowledge about spring planting, summer hoeing, autumn harvesting and winter storage, young Jiang Tao's My mind was filled with all kinds of war-related knowledge early on: my father’s wars, wars in the history of China and mankind, great men famous for their wars, famous battles and battle examples, classic strategies, campaigns and tactical theories, etc.Also since then, Jiang Tao has never doubted that he will be a soldier for life. His mission and responsibility is war, and he himself will make outstanding contributions in the war and become a great soldier. His father died of illness before he grew up, and he didn't even see the "Cultural Revolution".The old general had great prestige during his lifetime, and he was extremely honored after his death. Therefore, he and his family were neither like some senior generals who first rose to prosperity and then went to jail in the ten-year "movement" like some senior generals, nor were they like other people and their family members. In that way, the family was first devastated and then rehabilitated and promoted in the year when the catastrophe was over.His fame and glory still protected his son after death, enabling Jiang Tao to walk smoothly on the life path he chose.At the age of sixteen, Jiang Tao joined his father's old army as a soldier, and then joined the party and was promoted to platoon commander, company commander, and battalion commander. Identity participated in the frontier war in the early spring a few years ago.At the age of twenty-nine, he returned to Beijing and got married. In the words of a soldier, he "had a base."No one doubts that he has a great future, and he also believes that he is walking in the footsteps of his father. The only regret is that he has not fought, and he cannot achieve the brilliant success like his father when he was young, and quickly grow into a highly anticipated senior general. For a while after that, Jiang Tao felt a sense of loss.These are two aspects of the same thing: First, as time goes by, the name of his father gradually becomes indifferent in the eyes of future generations, and he can no longer give himself protection as in the past, which proves that the promotion of his position is not as good as it used to be Second, he never put others in his eyes in the past, but now he realizes that his sense of superiority as the foundation of his life and dignity is being scorned and challenged by others.The latter situation comes not only from those superiors who are not familiar with him and his family background, but who can influence his fate, but also from the children of workers and peasants who are overwhelmingly numerous in the army, including the one who will lead the B regiment to the No. 001 Heights tomorrow. Liu Daoming.Liu Daoming was born in the mountainous area of ​​Western Guizhou and joined the army in the same year. When he joined the army, he not only brought an ugly dialect, but also brought his peasant-style tenacity and shrewdness.Jiang Tao has always looked down on this person, but when Liu Daoming and a group of similar peasant children finally became the "climate" in the army, objectively able to rival him, and even possibly push him out of the runway, Jiang Tao's entire conceptual world It was a powerful blow.The career of war or general's career should only belong to him and his kind of people, but Liu Daoming and others want to take it away from his life, together with the success and glory associated with him!What happened next hit Jiang Tao even more: the head of Regiment B, which has always been the main force of Division L, was vacant, and the only candidates for the division were him and Liu Daoming. The head of the regiment is Liu Daoming, not him.This order also has a meaning that everyone understands: Generally speaking, as long as Liu Daoming does not make a big fuss in the next few years, he will be the next commander of Division L.What Jiang Tao received was another order: to pack his backpack and go to the capital to attend a one-year commander training course at the Military Academy. Jiang Tao returned to the capital with a sense of crisis that he was about to be eliminated by the army.It was after returning home this time that he realized that his wife Yulia had moved on.The other party is a bearded painter, and Yulia's childhood sweetheart.After all, Jiang Tao came from a different background, was well educated, and knew what to do to make himself less hurt.He divorced Julia without hesitation, and continued with her as an intimate friend with a new-fashioned elegance.He also, through Julia, had a bearded artist paint a bust of Napoleon in military uniform against dawn on the Austerlitz Field.He hung this fairly high-level oil painting in his own room at home, which aroused unanimous applause from his friends.No one knew that this incident constituted another severe blow to his psyche.He had already failed in the competition with Liu Daoming in the army, and when he returned to the capital, he found that women like Yulia didn't respect him anymore.He is used to being the proud son of heaven; the army is his hometown, the only land he is familiar with and can cultivate. Leaving the army will undoubtedly mean the complete destruction of his entire life and dreams, which is unimaginable to him .Every sleepless night, Jiang Tao whipped his heart angrily: You can't admit defeat, you must think about what happened, and you must make a radical change to yourself, bid farewell to the old self, and move towards the future in the context of the new era. A more attractive new me, back in the army to compete! A year later, Jiang Tao returned to the division, and was first assigned to the C regiment as the deputy head of the regiment for half a year, and was later appointed as the head of the A regiment, which was relatively less valued.Those who knew him were astonished at the changes in his body and spirit.Except for special occasions, Jiang Tao no longer wears military uniforms, only camouflage uniforms. On holidays, he changes into elegant suits. The number of ties leaves his colleagues speechless.While renovating his self-image, he declared that he would implement "reforms" in the A regiment, and he really came up with a set of well-thought-out "reform plans" that would drastically change military training, political education, life management, and logistics construction. A lot of new tricks came out.At this time, everyone was shouting "reform", and Jiang Tao just caught up with the idea, and immediately became an eye-catching figure in the army.During this period, Jiang Tao also brought about a vigorous new situation in the overall construction of the A regiment, and Liu Daoming's B regiment was invisibly compared to him.Jiang Tao has the desire to succeed, and also has the conditions for this.His family background in Beijing, his new education, and his friends who entered the political, economic, and ideological and cultural circles all helped him realize the significance of reform to the army, especially to himself, earlier than others.The initial success restored and expanded his hurt sense of superiority, and thus allowed him to see his own advantage in competing with Liu Daoming.Even though Liu Daoming became the head of the regiment, he was still the son of a farmer, but the roots of his own life were deeply rooted in the upper class of society that determined the direction of China's historical development.Jiang Tao understands almost instinctively that social changes are often brewed in the ideological circles for a long time in the form of heresy at first, and finally approved by a powerful leader. Become a "trend-maker" in the new era.With the help of his roots at the top, he can always make himself the owner and disseminator of new ideas in the army, and the creator of new things.In Jiang Tao’s view, the so-called creation of new things first means the destruction of old things. A person who pioneers must be a gravedigger of old things, and the first condition for destruction is boldness and even a certain degree of unscrupulousness. .Jiang Tao also discovered a truth here: all the rules of the game are only valid within the specified range, once you go beyond this range, the rules will have no binding force on you.You can easily win the attention of the spectators when the referees have not yet formulated a new law, but by the time the new law comes out, you have already achieved general recognition and de facto success.As far as Liu Daoming and his competitors are concerned, only when they play on a new field can the other party be unable to match him.This is a sense of superiority based on the new thinking that he thinks he is sober and has a chance to win. Based on this, he has successively carried out a number of "reforms" that have left everyone dumbfounded: ordering all officers to buy suits; In the evening, the girls from the normal college were invited to the auditorium to have a party with the officers and soldiers; the officers were asked to learn etiquette and foreign languages ​​in addition to military and political studies, so as to "raise" their "level".In the past, the political studies of the company all read newspapers. He asked them to visit places of interest and historic sites after completing the prescribed study time and content, calling it "pleasant education".He didn't forget to "reform" his holiday life: every Sunday, he either alone or with a few people, carrying a double-barreled shotgun, rode a motorcycle, went hunting and had a picnic in the forest.His goal was quickly achieved, but the effect was partly beyond his expectations: what he did and who he was quickly caused controversy up and down, making him a "star" that the military region also began to pay attention to. However, within the scope of the unit, especially with the division chief, he was almost unanimously criticized. His relationship with them, which was not bad before, turned sour almost overnight. At this time, the army began to spread the "love affair" between him and Zhang Li, a female military doctor in the division hospital. Even at this moment, when he calmed down and thought about it, Jiang Tao didn't think that his relationship with Zhang Li was beyond the scope of flirting, so he couldn't understand other people's enthusiasm and concern for everything that happened between them.Jiang Tao's consistent feeling is that after divorcing his wife, his encounter and relationship with Zhang Li six months ago was an inhuman arrangement.At the time of meeting, none of them thought that they would have a long-term relationship in the future; and when the relationship started, they still didn't think that the relationship between the two would gradually slip to a place that neither seemed willing to slip.In private, Jiang Tao had to admit that almost from the first time they met, this innocent female military doctor, who didn't look very beautiful, had an indescribable attraction to him.He knew what drew him: the passion that radiated from the depths of Zhang Li's being, along with the bravery and even a little playfulness that accompanied it.Zhang Li is such a kind of woman. They don't look beautiful at first glance, but as long as you interact with them once, you will find that their enthusiasm itself will become a source of happiness for you.Once you start interacting with them, their kindness, simplicity, and the attitude of not being defensive at all will make your complicated and heavy become redundant and funny, and your tired body and mind will be found in their smiles unconsciously. A real break.However, even when he was most infatuated with Zhang Li, he did not develop his relationship with this woman to the extent that other people said.The more he looked into the depths of his soul, the more he would find that he was still a person who took marriage very seriously.Although there have been some ups and downs in his life in the past few years, he still believes that one day he will fulfill his childhood dream and move towards the highest and most glorious ladder in his military career.Jiang Tao needs a wife, but she will never be a woman like Zhang Li.In fact, until today, he still has little understanding of her story: Zhang Li was also born in a military family, and had received four years of formal education at a military medical university. The handsome deputy regiment staff officer got married. Two years later, she inexplicably took risks with an ugly laboratory technician in the hospital. Afterwards, the laboratory technician was dismissed and changed jobs, and she also divorced her husband very soon.The reason why Jiang Tao didn't want to inquire too much about her private secrets was simple. He didn't want to know too much, so as not to let Zhang Li enter too deeply in his life.The same is true for Zhang Li. From the beginning of the relationship, she clearly said to Jiang Tao: I agree that we can communicate as friends.Although I am a single woman and you are a single man, I have no desire to marry you. "Such a good man, I don't want to scare you away right away." She said in a joking tone.But the real problem is: as time goes by, Jiang Tao realizes that his attachment to Zhang Li is getting deeper and deeper.Sometimes, he would even subconsciously think that if he hadn't worried about his future glory, he would rather marry Zhang Li now. As for yesterday, he transferred Zhang Li from the No. 3 Dressing Station of the Division Hospital assigned to him to stay on Mao'er Ridge. His motives were not as filthy as some people had speculated.Maoerling also needs a military doctor; more importantly, when a war that he has never shouldered such a heavy responsibility is approaching, there is always a voice in his heart asking him to call Zhang Li to his side Come.A deep feeling is that when you are in the most difficult and weakest time, the person who can give you the most peace, composure, strength and courage is her.Today you need her not she needs you. He didn't care what impression it made on others.In the past, he had always held a contemptuous and dismissive attitude towards the rumors caused by his association with Zhang Li.Like many in his circle of friends, he also believes that what a single man and a married woman do is their own right and freedom, and that being judged by others is not only a frivolous act, but also a kind of reward. It is an expression of shame and lack of civilized cultivation.What's more, he is still a man with self-control. As long as he doesn't plan to marry Zhang Li, he won't let her enthusiasm and his own enthusiasm lure him into an abyss that he can't turn back.However, the lesson he learned this morning is: it doesn't matter how you view and handle your relationship with Zhang Li, what matters is how your superiors view it.Jiang Tao realized that for the first time he had doubts about his relationship with Zhang Li in the past six months: In any case, comparing this relationship with his career and success in the army, the latter is undoubtedly more important.Now that the former has posed a threat to it, the time may have come for him to break up with Zhang Li.The thought wasn't very clear, nor did it fully occupy the center of his consciousness, but it came out anyway.
