Qi Taiguo spent the entire night writing reports, and only went to bed for a short nap until dawn before heading to the military for training.
Regarding the rumors about the leadership transition, both Ning Le and Cheng Jiasheng had heard them. Officially, Qi Taiguo was their superior, and on a personal level, he was either a friend of their uncle or aunt’s husband, so they had to show some concern.
The two took the opportunity to ask about fighting techniques and got close to Qi Taiguo, asking how to handle this matter. They expressed their loyalty: "We firmly stand by your side. If a joint letter is needed to clarify things, just say the word!"
Qi Taiguo, caught between laughing and crying, sternly said, "Your current task is to rigorously train your physique, actively improve your combat skills, and resolutely serve the country, not gossip like old wives. Now, give me a hundred push-ups."
Ning Le and Cheng Jiasheng immediately howled in protest, but with Qi Taiguo’s stern glare, they reluctantly went to endure the ’physical punishment.’
"I told you not to ask, didn’t I? You wouldn’t listen, and now you’ve dragged me into this punishment with you," Ning Le whispered while doing the push-ups.
Cheng Jiasheng, without looking up, replied, "That’s my uncle, and if he’s having a hard time, so is my aunt. If we don’t look out for him, how do we explain this to our family?"
"Bah! It’s just a godparent relationship!" Ning Le scoffed, but they acted like they were real family. No one was more eager than them.
Cheng Jiasheng grinned and said, "Sure, just a godparent. But when my Aunt Su brings something delicious, don’t come begging for it."
"..." Ning Le was embarrassed.
Cheng Jiasheng, full of pride, heard Qi Taiguo shout at them to stop talking, and promptly focused on doing push-ups seriously.
"Report!"
