Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1199 - 790: Stubborn

Second watch.

---------------

Watching someone quickly disappear, Zhou Mikang couldn’t help but smile, and then explained to Chuxia on the other end of the phone, "It was Zhou Hanliang who came over to deliver the documents."

Chuxia chuckled lightly, "Why are you feeling guilty?"

"Fine, I’ll call Ou Mingtao in a while and tell him that I can’t get involved in his daughter’s matters at all because I can’t let my wife feel wronged in order to help others."

Can we still... have a pleasant conversation? Chuxia snorted coldly, "Fine, let everyone think of me as a jealous wife, I’ll be very happy, really, the babies will be happy for me, too."

Zhou Mikang was speechless, was this threatening tactic addictive? He was only saying it casually, would he really bury her in the issue?

"Alright, alright, it’s all my fault..." As a man, he had to let the woman have her way, especially because he was older, and now that she had two babies in her belly, what else could he do? Besides lowering himself, was there another way?

Having finally coaxed his young wife into a good mood, the Division Commander stopped beating around the bush and took the initiative to bring up Qin Haotian and Yin Xueqin: "Qin Haotian was lying about their matter, absolutely.

His goal was to evoke your sympathy to help him. Later, after you talked to Yin Xueqin, she went to ask him for the reason. He tried to provoke Yin Xueqin to create a fait accompli to reach your ears so that you would believe what he said, but it didn’t work.

Originally, he planned to delay it a bit longer to see your attitude, but Yin Xueqin pressured him to make a statement, saying if he really didn’t intend to be with her, he should make it clear.

With Qin Haotian’s family situation now, how could he dare to really break up with Yin Xueqin? Weighing the pros and cons, he chose to show his attitude to make Yin Xueqin committed to staying with him.

He is a very selfish boy. His main purpose in pleading for his father was actually to give himself a good family situation and more choices.

Now feeling that there’s almost no chance of helping, he quickly made a choice most beneficial to himself, rest assured, he won’t bother you again, this matter is temporarily over."

"Zhou Mikang, I’m not happy at all..." Chuxia sighed, "Such a good girl like Yin Xueqin ending up with a man like Qin Haotian is truly a waste!"

"It’s her own choice, don’t worry needlessly..." Realizing his words were a bit harsh, Zhou Mikang quickly softened his tone, "I know you’re kind-hearted, but these kinds of things outsiders can’t clear up, right?"

"I know." Chuxia sighed, "I was just expressing a sentiment, do you really think I’d be foolish enough to meddle in unrelated people’s business? I’m not that free, nor that bored, you’re still my husband, you don’t understand me at all, forget it, I won’t talk to you, bye."

Not giving Zhou Mikang a chance to speak, Chuxia hung up the phone. Zhou Mikang on the other end listened to the dial tone, looking helpless. In this world, she’s the only one daring to treat him this way.

Picking up the training results on the table and looking at them, Zhou Mikang felt even better.

The current training was tough, but the results were evident, with the foresight of his little wife, he knew that the war was unavoidable, so he’d do his utmost to minimize casualties.

He never thought of telling anyone about this to have them prepared since the consequence would be his little wife never being able to stand in public, and that’s an outcome he could not bear.

Selfishness and selflessness are relative. What is selflessness? To reduce uncertain casualties by having his wife lose her freedom? Ha, that’s ignorance!

Of course, there’s also the possibility that he’s overthinking it, and everything he worries about might never happen, but that’s just a possibility he absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to risk.

Moreover, for his little wife to share such a big secret with him shows absolute trust, even if it costs his life, he would never betray that trust.

Thinking of this, he dialed the number Ou Mingtao left him: "Hello, Minister Ou."

After a slight hesitation on the other side, there was a tentative question: "Division Commander Xiao Zhou?"

"Yes, it’s me."

"Hello, hello..." Ou Mingtao’s voice became noticeably more enthusiastic, with a hint of expectation.

"I’ve talked to Mei Yitong, he said for Ou Jie to go find him, after they talk, he’ll decide whether or not to let Ou Jie stay there."

This morning, Ou Mingtao called him again, asking him to help with Mei Yitong, since Ou Mingtao hadn’t interacted with Mei Yitong before and was afraid of being rejected without even a chance to ease the situation.

To put it bluntly, he had been scared off by Zhou Mikang, terrified of meeting a second Zhou Mikang.

This isn’t too much of an issue, so Zhou Mikang agreed. On Mei Yitong’s end, he actually hoped to have another talent in this area to help out. So, after hearing Zhou Mikang’s explanation, he agreed immediately, with the condition being ’seeing is believing’.

For Ou Mingtao, this result was already good news, because he had faith in his daughter’s abilities; otherwise, he wouldn’t be chasing favors everywhere, thick-skinned.

"Division Commander Xiao Zhou, thank you so much. I’ll call Ou Jie in a moment and have her come to you to resign..." He paused, then hesitantly said, "Or maybe have her chat with Xiao Mei first, and then come to you to resign?"

Zhou Mikang responded coolly, "Division Commander Ou, if Mei Yitong isn’t satisfied, that means she’s unqualified. You already know the situation here. Isn’t it unnecessary to keep tossing around?"

"You’re right, sigh..." Ou Mingtao sighed and apologized embarrassingly, "I didn’t think it through, didn’t think it through. I’ll call her right away."

"Alright, goodbye, Minister Ou."

"Goodbye, Division Commander Xiao Zhou."

After hanging up, Zhou Mikang took the training report to find Zhou Hanliang. As he pushed the door open, he discovered Ou Jie sitting opposite Zhou Hanliang, laughing heartily.

The moment she saw Zhou Mikang, Ou Jie’s expression became visibly stiff, but then she smiled, "Division Commander, finished your call? I never would have guessed that a usually stern Division Commander could sound so gentle when calling the missus."

Without any expression, Zhou Mikang glanced at her, without responding, his gaze directed at Zhou Hanliang, clearly unhappy.

Facing Ou Jie, Zhou Hanliang felt it was inappropriate to explain anything and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Division Commander, after seeing the results, don’t you find you’re rid of all worries?"

"I think it’s you who’s rid of all worries..." Zhou Mikang glared at him, tossing the folder, "You can ease up a bit in the afternoon. Balancing work and rest yields better results; don’t overstrain too much."

"Yes, I also thought about that. Overstraining can lead to low spirits. I was still thinking about how to persuade you, Division Commander. I didn’t expect you to be so considerate."

Zhou Mikang snorted, "There’s no need to flatter me. If I couldn’t even consider such things, could I still be worthy of the Division Commander’s title?"

"Hehe..." Zhou Hanliang awkwardly chuckled, secretly blaming Ou Jie for her insensitivity, not realizing the boss disliked her. Why not just leave instead of sitting boldly?

"Deputy Political Commissar Ou, your phone call." The appearance of the orderly timely saved Zhou Hanliang.

"Division Commander, Commissar, I’ll go take the call first." Ou Jie quickly dashed out.

Zhou Hanliang heaved a long sigh, pulling a face and looking at Zhou Mikang, "Division Commander, don’t look at me like that. She came here and I couldn’t just ignore her. I don’t have your commanding presence, and if I put on your demeanor, she wouldn’t care at all. Why would I act like a big shot unnecessarily, right?"

"Who’s acting like a big shot?" Zhou Mikang snapped, "Anyway, you have Doudou. Take care of yourself. If a misunderstanding arises, you’ll have nowhere to cry."

"Division Commander, you can’t wrong me..." Zhou Hanliang looked aggrieved, "It’s better than talking about training all by myself, and I couldn’t just not respond.

Then, when talking about a soldier breaking his belt trying to get first place, she wouldn’t stop laughing. I couldn’t scold her, so you caught the scene by chance. It’s no wonder you misunderstood. Others would too if they saw it."

"If you’re not guilty, why explain so much? Did I say anything?"

Zhou Hanliang: "..." You didn’t say anything? Then what would count as saying something? Boss, don’t be so demanding. If I didn’t care about your opinion, would I need to explain this much?

"Zhou Mikang!"

Ou Jie barged in with a red face, not even addressing him as "Division Commander," directly calling his name. Zhou Mikang realized Ou Mingtao must have already spoken to her, looking at her calmly, "What’s up?"

"What gives you the right to pass me around like a ball?" Ou Jie stared straight at him, "You’re basically a coward, covering your conscience; otherwise, you wouldn’t need to do this."

Zhou Mikang nodded, "Alright, if saying that makes you feel better, go ahead."

"You... you bastard!" Ou Jie’s tears started to fall, "Because you are the person I admire most, I wanted to work under you. Is this how you treat someone truly passionate about military affairs? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

I stayed because I believe only we can achieve better results working together. Can’t you distinguish between personal and professional matters? Is your wife more important, or is the safety of the entire nation?"

That cap was too big to bear! Zhou Hanliang sneaked a peek at Zhou Mikang, feeling a bit worried for him, knowing him too well, one had to worry...(To be continued.
