Chapter 267: Chapter 267 He Teng Promoted 3_1

"He Zhilan, you’re really lucky. I’m telling you, Zhou Hongjin is a catch. You better hold onto him." Gu En muttered under her breath, "Hmph, I thought Lin Deng had feelings for you, too. But when he found out Zhou Hongjin was courting you, he didn’t react at all!"

"What did you say?" He Zhilan couldn’t catch what Gu En said because she spoke so quietly. But when she asked, Gu En just stared at her and lay back down without answering.

Seeing Gu En finally keeping quiet, Huang Cai chimed in, "Shall we wash the pen holder and use it as a vase? It’d be a shame to let the flowers wilt."

"So He Zhilan, did you accept Zhou’s confession? Are you guys together now?" Wang Bingbing asked enviously, "How romantic."

He Zhilan shook her head, "No, I only accepted the flowers as a friend."

Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting exchanged a glance. They figured as much, knowing that He Zhilan was already married.

Gu En heard this and huffed again, sarcastically saying, "He Zhilan, you really don’t know what’s good for you. You’re not satisfied with someone like Zhou Hongjin? What kind of man are you looking for?"

"Whether He Zhilan is satisfied or not has nothing to do with it, okay? We’re only freshmen; it’s not really appropriate for us to be in a relationship at school. Besides, the school has strict rules about it. If we were caught, we would certainly be punished!" Chen Xiting defended, not needing to bring up He Zhilan’s marital status as a reason to counter Gu En’s words.

Chen Xiting swore she had never met someone as displeasing as Gu En!

Every word she said was laid down with an overbearing pride, like some arrogant rooster!

He Zhilan didn’t stay long in the dorm before heading to the hospital. At the hospital, He Teng’s room was bustling.

"Sister-in-law!" As soon as Kang Xing saw He Zhilan, he shouted.

He Zhilan was surprised to see He Teng’s comrades there. She smiled, "Why are you here?"

"We got paid, so we were worried about He Teng needing money in the hospital. The commissary sent me to bring him some. Oh, there’s also good news! He Teng has been promoted to platoon leader, out of turn!"

"Ha, He Teng is already a platoon leader, and here you are, still calling him squad leader?" Lin Chan, who was sitting on the side, teased, then said, "But indeed, it’s good news!"

"Hehe~" Kang Xing scratched his head sheepishly, "Isn’t it just a habit?"

Unlike Kang Xing’s excitement, He Teng wasn’t particularly thrilled. He knew that this must have been arranged by Chen Zheng after pulling some strings. All of it was for his worst-case scenario.

If he becomes disabled or something, as a platoon leader, he can choose to transfer. After the transfer, the government will assign him work. If he gets a position in a government office, it’s better than staying in the army.

"Being promoted to platoon leader is good. With He Teng’s capabilities, there’s no worry about not moving up the ranks. Perhaps in a few years, he might even become the commander or colonel!" Kang Xing gave a thumbs up to He Teng, "In the entire team, I admire you the most! You’re a good person, have a good temper, and are damn capable!"
