Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Refusing Marriage

"Grandpa, is that what you think too?" Gu Junming ignored him and looked directly at the old man.

Gu Dongfang didn’t speak, but his eyes showed the same attitude as Gu Zishan’s.

Gu Junming looked at Bai Chuan, "Chairman Bai truly cares about my affairs, I am very grateful." His tone was very sarcastic. Over the years, Bai Chuan’s suppression of him was something he was well aware of, he wasn’t a fool. This time, Bai Chuan probably came to use the birthday celebration as an excuse to cancel his spot abroad.

"This has nothing to do with me, I’m just an outsider here for the birthday feast." Bai Chuan hurriedly waved his hand with a smile, "But Junming, recklessness for credit is undesirable, you’re too conspicuous, which isn’t good. Why not take it slow?"

Gu Junming’s expression was calm, and he said indifferently, "A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier. I am willing to contribute my blood and passion for my country. I’m about to turn twenty-six, and if I don’t work hard this time, I might face transfer by the end of the year. I don’t want to take off my uniform. I hope grandpa and father understand."

The Gu Family father and son didn’t say anything for a moment, they had been soldiers all their lives, of course, they couldn’t let their son change professions.

Only Bai Shan frowned slightly, "You don’t have to do this necessarily. Actually, there is a civilian position in my artillery regiment, your qualifications and abilities are enough for it..."

"No! Chairman Bai, I appreciate your kindness. I don’t like working in civilian positions, nor do I fear bleeding and sacrifices. I’m a soldier, I can’t just think about my own interests and let others make sacrifices while I live a comfortable life, that’s not what a soldier should do. This time, I was normally admitted through examinations, the selection was fair and just, there wasn’t any backdoor dealings, so there won’t be any gossip. I hope the chairman can rest assured. I will do my utmost to complete my mission!" He saluted Bai Shan.

Gu Dongfang nodded in satisfaction, "Good! Truly worthy of being one of us Gu Family! When I first heard about it, I worried you were taking extremes just for promotion, I misunderstood you. You must work hard and shine for the collective, fearless of sacrifices."

Gu Junming stood up and saluted, "Yes, I will do my best, don’t worry grandpa!"

Gu Zishan didn’t speak either, feeling his son’s words about sacrificing others’ interests were somehow alluding to his own past actions, his face faintly flushed. Bai Chuan saw the father and son were swayed by Gu Junming’s few words, knowing it was pointless to say more, he could only let it go. Although he was smiling, he cursed inwardly, what stubborn and foul stone in the latrine pit! Hopefully, this time fails, so you can taste the harshness of reality.
