Chapter 566 Tian Guangzhi is willing to return to the army.
But they are very reliable when it comes to getting things done.
As usual, they weighed, calculated, and traded.
Old Qian handed over the 8,300 yuan from this transaction to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian counted them, smiled, and put them away.
"We received another batch of Moutai liquor last time," Old Qian said, and then had his underlings unload the Moutai liquor they had brought earlier.
“One case contains six bottles, four cases in total,” Old Qian said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian paid Lao Qian the bill at fifteen yuan per bottle.
He gave Lao Qian 360 yuan.
Although Lao Qian never wanted to accept the money, Su Niannian always insisted on giving it to him.
Old Qian didn't refuse and put the three hundred and sixty yuan away.
Actually, this is good, because everything is calculated clearly, one item at a time.
Personal favors are personal favors, and business is business.
After the transaction was completed, Su Niannian told Lao Qian the exact time of the full moon celebration.
"That means I'll deliver the items a day in advance."
"You need some people to cook, chop and wash vegetables, right?" Old Qian asked Su Niannian.
The full moon celebration will probably require several tables, so we'll definitely need some help.
He nodded.
"Then I'll call a few more aunties who are good cooks to come and help."
Hearing what Lao Qian said, Su Niannian smiled and nodded, "Thank you!"
"You're being too polite," Old Qian replied.
"See you in a few days then. I'll take the things back first," Old Qian said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian nodded. "See you in a few days."
"Brother Gu, I'm off then." Old Qian waved to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded.
After Lao Qian left, Su Niannian and Gu Nan locked the courtyard gate and returned to the front yard.
"You two go inside and rest for a while. I'll get you something to eat," Tian Guangzhi said as he saw Gu Nan and Su Niannian return.
"Okay." Su Niannian replied, and pulled Gu Nan back to the staff rest area.
"Is something wrong?" Su Niannian had sensed from the beginning that Gu Nan wanted to say something to Tian Guangzhi when they met.
"You want Lao Tian to do some other business, right?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian.
Su Niannian thought about it and realized it was true.
She felt that it was a waste of Tian Guangzhi's talents to do such a thing here.
So Su Niannian nodded and told Gu Nan that she wanted to arrange for Tian Guangzhi to do something else.
"So, is there something you need? About Tian Guangzhi?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan again.
"Commander Lu wants Tian Guangzhi to return to the army," Gu Nan told Su Niannian truthfully.
It turns out that the situation in the Beijing military region has always been quite serious, and there aren't many people that Commander Lu can trust.
Another issue is that the authorities in Shanghai also suspect that there are enemy agents lurking in the city.
The higher-ups really want to send someone over there to investigate Shanghai thoroughly.
Both Beijing and Shanghai are important places for future development; where there is sunshine, there is also darkness.
Therefore, Chief Lu's side is currently short-handed.
Gu Nan also knew that Su Niannian needed help to develop her career.
Su Niannian had long admired Tian Guangzhi, but someone like Tian Guangzhi was better suited to stay and do business or something else.
None of them were as useful as he was in the army.
Gu Nan told Su Niannian what was on his mind.
Su Niannian laughed.
“It’s no big deal. If Tian Guangzhi wants to go back to the army, then he can go back.”
"Compared to the matters on the military side, my situation is a minor one."
“You don’t need to think so much. Just tell Tian Guangzhi the truth. If he’s willing to return to the army, I’ll be very happy.”
"After all, people like you, like him, like all of you, are born to sacrifice for the motherland."
Su Niannian spoke sincerely, and there was no sign of unhappiness in her voice.
Su Niannian naturally knew that the country comes first, then the family.
If Tian Guangzhi is willing to return to the army and contribute to the country, that would be something Su Niannian would be happy to see.
I don't feel any regret at all.
Although we will lose a trusted ally, the interests of our motherland must be our top priority.
Gu Nan was very happy that his little girl thought this way.
She truly is the best girl.
Gu Nan nodded, stood up, and hugged Su Niannian.
Su Niannian leaned against Gu Nan's chest. She always felt that as long as she had Gu Nan, nothing else mattered.
As a result, when Tian Guangzhi came in with washed cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, and soybean paste, he saw this scene.
They tried to leave, but Gu Nan and Su Niannian discovered them.
The two released their embrace.
"Look at me, it's so inappropriate for me to come in like this." Tian Guangzhi smiled awkwardly.
"Come in, Gu Nan has something important to tell you." Su Niannian's cheeks were still slightly flushed as she spoke.
Even though she and Gu Nan have a child together, she still feels shy when outsiders see her holding Gu Nan.
"Is it serious business?" Tian Guangzhi asked, somewhat suspiciously.
What important business could he and Gu Nan possibly have to discuss now?
After placing his things on the table, Tian Guangzhi sat down and looked at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan also sat down and looked at Tian Guangzhi.
"Just say what you want to say. I'm getting a little creeped out by you staring at me like that," Tian Guangzhi said, looking at Gu Nan's serious expression.
It was as if something very important had happened.
Gu Nan then slowly spoke, relaying what Chief Lu had told him to Tian Guangzhi.
He said he's currently short-staffed and lacks enough people he can trust.
Gu Nan also explained to Tian Guangzhi the current environment and the serious tasks they faced.
Tian Guangzhi initially had a smile on his face.
But the more I listened, the heavier my heart became.
He knew that he had been in the army for so long and held a very important position.
Now the motherland needs me, and Chief Lu needs me.
I am truly letting down the more than ten years of cultivation I have received from Commander Lu by farming in this small place.
Gu Nan's words, in particular, caused quite a stir in Tian Guangzhi's heart.
Previously, because of his younger brother's situation, Tian Guangzhi resolutely left the army.
But only Tian Guangzhi himself knew how reluctant he was to part with it.
Now that his younger brother's matter has been perfectly resolved, Tian Guangzhi feels that his patriotic heart has long been restless.
After listening to what Gu Nan had to say, Tian Guangzhi remained silent.
Neither Gu Nan nor Su Niannian disturbed Tian Guangzhi.
Instead, they are waiting for him to make the decision himself.
For a long time, the air seemed to freeze.
“I’m willing to go back,” Tian Guangzhi said slowly.
Then he looked at Su Niannian with some guilt.
"If I go back, this place..."
"You don't think that the vegetables and herbs won't grow here without you, do you?" Su Niannian replied with a smile.
