The commissar was taken aback for a moment, not expecting him to agree so easily. This was a pleasant surprise indeed.

They say Huo Beijiang is hard to negotiate with, but he seems quite amiable to me!

Female soldiers’ dormitory—-

At the division headquarters, due to the allocation of logistics, medical care, communications, cultural arts and other departments, there were actually quite a few female soldiers. However, compared to the total number of soldiers, their numbers seemed rather measly.

The female soldiers’ dormitory was in a different direction from the main dormitory and was given priority for protection. It was consequently closer to the housing complexes for families.

The news about the brigade commander’s wife visiting the army also reached the female soldiers’ dormitory.

Most of the residents here were from cultural arts groups, medical staff, communications, and secretariat departments.

Though Huo Beijiang didn’t have female soldiers around him usually, his presence was so commanding that it drew attention wherever he went. His every move was being quietly observed.

“Did you hear? Captain Ning brought a woman today! Rumor has it she’s been called ‘sister-in-law’ by many group leaders and battalion commanders!”

“What does that prove?”

“What do you mean what does it prove?” A girl with big eyes blurted out, “Besides the commander’s woman, who else would Captain Ning, and those group leaders, call sister-in-law?”

The crowd found this convincing, making the laundry area busier than ever.

“Did you guys see her? Was she pretty?”

“Is she as pretty as the girls from our arts troupe?”

“Pff! The arts troupe girls are pretty, but Fan Wei from the secretariat department tops them all in my book. She’s educated and a military school graduate.”

“And what does that count for? There are plenty of military school graduates, but not everyone is lucky enough to marry our brigade commander.”

“Precisely! Our commander is out of everyone’s league! There’s probably a line of women extending from our brigade all the way to the military department, all dreaming of marrying him. And these women are not lacking in background, education, or looks.”

“That’s for sure. I also heard that our brigade commander had a fiancee before. She’s the niece of the Minister of National Defense, and from a top-tier family. She set her heart on marrying the brigade commander, but he didn’t agree in the end.”

“Really? Or is it just a rumor?”

“Didn’t I hear that our commander’s ex-fiancee came today?”

“Eh? Does that mean the woman that Captain Ning brought with him today is her?”

A group of young female soldiers were in their prime of youth. They usually had tough trainings to deal with, but now that they had a chance to chatter, their spirits were lifted, and they couldn’t stop talking. They didn’t notice that their voices have gotten too loud and attracted attention.

“Quiet down, everyone.” Chided the team leader of the secretariat department who has a stern face, “Are the commander’s matters something you can freely chat about? Disperse now. Go on, disperse.”

“Yes!”

Everyone picked up their towels and toiletries, and dispersed slowly from the crowd.

Fan Wei, who had been silently washing clothes with a defiant expression on her face, had heard every word. The female soldier from her team next to her looked worriedly at her.

“Fan Wei, are you okay? Don’t take to heart what those people said earlier.” They lived together and knew how proud Fan Wei was. She had been given the chance to work as the brigade commander’s secretary last time, but her position was changed soon after she had taken up the job.

This incident had hit her hard.

“I’m fine!”

Looking at Fan Wei gritting her teeth, the female soldier thought she did not seem fine at all.
