Wen Xinya and Xu Tongxuan did not continue to dwell on the previous topic. Zhou Tianyu clearly did not want to talk about it. Although they were anxious, they did not want to force Zhou Tianyu. Some things still had to be investigated by themselves.
Thinking of the outcome between Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junlin in the previous life, Wen Xinya had a bad feeling in her heart.
Gu Junlin was quite perceptive. He sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the private room and subconsciously looked towards Zhou Tianyu: "What were you talking about just now?"
Zhou Tianyu lowered his eyes, avoiding Gu Junlin's gaze.
Wen Xinya smiled and replied, "We didn't talk about anything... By the way, why didn't Xu Er come with you?"
Xu Chenyu is still the same as he was when he was in the Northwest. He spends at least 300 days out of the 365 days a year on missions outside. However, after returning to the capital, he is taken care of by the Xu family, which is better than before.
Xu Tongxuan also echoed: "This bastard, he won't make us wait for him again!"
Gu Junlin didn't think much about it and replied, "Who knows? We just called him and he said he would be late and asked us not to wait for him. Everyone knows what kind of person Xu Er is. There has never been a party where people haven't been waiting. Anyway, he said he would come, so he will definitely come. Let's drink our own drinks and ignore him for now."
Several people agreed with this.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Xu Chenyu, wearing a neat military uniform, walked in slowly: "I heard you guys talking bad about me from a long distance away, is that interesting? Do you think you can become tall, rich and handsome like me by slandering me?"
Several girls burst out laughing.
Wen Xinya smiled and threw an orange at Xu Chenyu: "Narcissist!"
Xu Tongxuan couldn't help but laugh as she said disdainfully, "I've seen thick-skinned people, but I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you."
Zhou Tianyu swept away the gloom and said with a smile: "It is a skill to be as thick-skinned as him."
Xu Chenyu took the orange that Wen Xin threw to him, peeled it, and threw the slices into his mouth one by one: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't make personal attacks on me like this. I say... Can we still have fun?"
Han Mofeng kicked Xu Chenyu in dissatisfaction and shouted, "We are already tall, rich and handsome, do we really need to slander you?"
Ling Qingxuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "You say you are tall, rich and handsome, but your monthly salary is not even enough for a meal, and you still have the nerve to call yourself tall, rich and handsome."
While eating oranges, Xu Chenyu said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with me claiming to be tall, rich and handsome? After all, I am also a member of the People's Liberation Army of the third generation of the Red Army."
At this time, Wen Xinya noticed that the epaulettes on Xu Chenyu's shoulders seemed different from usual, and couldn't help but teasing, "Oh, no wonder he boasted about being tall, rich and handsome as soon as he appeared on the stage. It turns out that he got a promotion! Colonel Xu, tell us about your mental journey or feelings about getting promoted?"
Wen Xinya had never expected that Xu Chenyu had actually been promoted to colonel. The rank of colonel is between major general and colonel. The status of this rank is equal to that of brigadier general. He usually holds positions at the regimental level and above. He can be said to be a transitional candidate for general officers.
However, generally speaking, it is relatively difficult to be promoted from colonel to general officer, and some people find it difficult to take this step in their entire life.
Wen Xinya's words made everyone look at Xu Chenyu's epaulettes in surprise. On the pine green background of the epaulettes, there were two thin golden bars and four star badges. They were indeed the epaulettes of a major general.
Gu Junlin whistled and said, "Wow, two bars and four stars. He is indeed tall, rich and handsome!"
Ling Qingxuan patted Xu Chenyu on the shoulder and shouted excitedly: "Brother, you are tall, rich and handsome. You are the tall, rich and handsome one."
Han Mofeng came close to Xu Chenyu, carefully "caressing" the epaulettes on his shoulders with one hand, with a look of envy and jealousy on his face: "Xu Er, you, you've been promoted too fast. I've worked so hard for three or four years, and I only managed to get the rank of lieutenant colonel. Do you still want to live?"
Xu Tongxuan said, "Crazy, you bastard, don't be so ungrateful. If you stay in the Northwest for a few years, I guarantee that your military rank will rise as fast as Xu Er's. Xu Er's military achievements were all earned by his own sacrifice, not a bit of water."
At this moment, Xu Chenyu's expression was as smug as it could be: "I was just awarded a military rank this afternoon, and the rank I was awarded was a lieutenant general. He patted me on the shoulder and said: The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward, and heroes have always emerged from youth. We are all old now!"
Wen Xinya looked at his smug look and almost threw the orange peel in her hand at his face: "Xu Er, can you stop being so arrogant? Can you behave like a brigadier general of the People's Liberation Army?"
That look, to put it bluntly, is stupid!
Several people burst into laughter.
Xu Chenyu said dissatisfiedly: "Why am I so arrogant? Why am I so unmannerly? I swear, this is the heroic character of the People's Liberation Army."
"Pfft—" The little friends laughed unkindly.
Xu Er is a well, he is two no matter what!
Xu Chenyu yelled: "Don't laugh, what I said is true..."
“Hahahahaha…” several people laughed even harder.
Finally, Xu Chenyu couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing: "I say... you guys are bullshitting, you feel itchy if you don't slander me for a day, right!"
After everyone laughed for a while, Zhou Tianyu raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink together. Congratulations to Xu Er for being promoted to colonel and becoming a truly tall, rich and handsome man."
Several people raised their glasses at the same time and clinked them excitedly: "Cheers!"
The wine splashed, just like everyone's mood at the moment.
Xu Chenyu was promoted to colonel, and everyone was sincerely happy for him.
Wenxinya is no exception.
However, he couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart. Xu Chenyu was once a well-known playboy in the capital, but in just six years, he became a brigadier general. Such a change was really huge.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone became a little careless.
Xu Chenyu lit a cigarette.
Gu Junlin reached out and snatched it, putting it in his mouth: "Didn't you quit smoking? Why are you smoking again?"
Xu Chenyu lit another cigarette and put it in his mouth: "If I don't smoke or drink, how can I show my masculine character?"
Gu Junlin looked at Xu Chenyu and laughed so hard that he twitched a little.
Wen Xinya glanced at him and said calmly, "You really have a lot of potential if you need to smoke to show your masculine qualities."
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan burst out laughing.
Xu Chenyu raised his hands in surrender again: "Miss Wen, can you please stop slandering me?"
He drank the black medicine soup prepared by Wen Xinya for him all day long, which was already dark enough.
Ling Qingxuan laughed unkindly and said, "You are definitely making fun of yourself. You are looking for trouble, not being teased."
