◎ He's really fallen this time! ◎
Dong Jiaojiao left Lu Jinzhou's apartment feeling joyous and elated.
After having a good cry and successfully dispelling Lu Jinzhou's suspicions, how could she not be happy?
Lu Jinzhou, however, was not so fortunate. He had always considered himself a disciplined, principled person with a strong sense of boundaries, someone who could maintain a rational and clear mind at all times. But now...
Everything seemed to have changed!
As soon as Dong Jiaojiao left, Lu Jinzhou almost immediately sobered up, feeling regret for the way he had compromised and yielded without any principles.
But it was only regret—he didn't feel any remorse.
Lu Jinzhou knew that this time, he had really fallen!

Northwest Military Region, Political Commissar's Office.
Zhao Shichang was on the phone, speaking in a respectful and serious tone.
"Yes, sir, I will handle it strictly... Understood, understood, rest assured, sir..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Shichang stood in place, thinking for a long time, and then let out a heavy sigh.
It seemed he had misunderstood Lu Jinzhou's intentions that day. Could it be that he wanted Lu Yao to marry He Chengjun?
Otherwise, why would he get Commissar Huang from the Army Headquarters to pressure him?
Although Commissar Huang hadn't mentioned Lu Jinzhou or even He Chengjun's matter.
But Zhao Shichang had been a political commissar for many years; everyone in this line of work was perceptive. As the saying goes, "a word to the wise is sufficient." Some things don't need to be said too bluntly.
Zhao Shichang immediately sent someone to bring He Chengjun over.
Ten minutes later, He Chengjun was standing in front of him. Zhao Shichang didn't speak right away; he first picked up his tea mug and took a sip, which was so hot it nearly made him curse.

"Chengjun, the result of your promotion should be out soon, right?"
"No matter what the final outcome is, I am grateful for the organization and the leaders' support, and I will fully comply with any arrangements," He Chengjun responded with great humility and caution.
Although Lu Yao had already told him that it was almost decided in his favor, he still had to maintain a low profile until the final results were announced.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shichang nodded, "The closer you get to the end, the less you can afford to slack off. You're almost there, and you wouldn't want all your previous efforts to go to waste, would you?"
"Commissar, what do you mean by that? I'm not quite sure."
"Chengjun, I have high hopes for you. Your abilities in all aspects are impeccable, and the organization intends to promote you, but you haven't done well enough in your personal life.
A few days ago, your wife submitted a divorce request to the organization. I asked for your opinion then, and now I'm asking you one last time: what do you really think?"
He Chengjun knew that Zhao Shichang wouldn't bring these two matters together without reason.
Moreover, he had clearly stated before that he did not agree to the divorce.
