In Yi Qianya's office in the committee building, Yi Qianya looked at Claire's back and pondered. Just now Claire told her about Lida and asked her to help Shu Yunpeng and Zhang Jingyi get out of trouble, and she reluctantly agreed.

I said it was reluctant, because she didn't think it was a big deal. She felt that in this world without men, it was really normal for a woman to take a fancy to Shu Yunpeng and make a request in this regard, so why make a fuss?

In fact, after careful consideration, she found that even if she wanted to help Shu Yunpeng get out of trouble, she couldn't do it. There are no normal men in this world, women can't help themselves, and it is natural and inevitable to keep an eye on Shu Yunpeng. No one can think that this only normal man, the ancient time-traveler Shu Yunpeng, only belongs to a certain person, or to a certain group of people or a certain group of people.

Therefore, equal opportunities and pursuing what you want is everyone's right and Lida's right.

Of course, the law of the alliance is there, and there is no one who can force Shu Yunpeng to accept what he does not want, and neither can Lida. Whether you want to or not is a personal choice, and it has nothing to do with others.

Therefore, this is a matter between Shu Yunpeng and Lida, and others cannot mix, let alone interfere; Even if she is Yi Qianya, she can't do it. As for the young men's suspicion that Leda had another purpose, it was just speculation and could not be relied upon.

So, although she reluctantly agreed to Claire, she really didn't want to meddle in this matter.

She settled down and threw herself back into her work. The task entrusted to her by the Commission was more important than the signing of the final peace treaty with the Joneses. But this matter involves all aspects, and it cannot be done all at once. According to the principle of easy things first, then difficult things, she put the decision on the matter aside and started to deal with a few easy things first.

A grand ceremony was held in Central City to confer the rank of Major General, Zhang Jingyi was awarded the rank of Colonel, and Li Baozhen was awarded the rank of Colonel. Many other officers were promoted, and even Shu Yunpeng, who had no soldiers to bring, was also awarded the rank of major.

"I eat and drink together, how can I be promoted?" Shu Yunpeng found Yi Qianya: "General, please take back your order, if I can also be promoted, I'm afraid many people will not be convinced!" ”

"Don't be modest, Major Shu!" Yi Qianya said very seriously: "Defeated in space, you have dealt with Jones head-on twice without falling behind, no one can do it!" The rest of the military operations, such as feints against the rebels, assisting Commander Claire to break through Fort No. 1, going to the southern jungle, and rescuing Space Fleet Commander Zhang Jingyi, are extremely courageous and unconvinced. If you insist on refusing, it will seem hypocritical. ”

Shu Yunpeng was speechless. What Yi Qianya said was very reasonable, he couldn't help but listen, so he could only accept it.

Claire, as for her, was a little confused. She had to admire, Shu Yunpeng was like a prophet, she could always guess in advance that she was really promoted to major general!

But she was not happy, especially when Yi Qianya went to her and told her that she was ready to retire, she was even more depressed.

"General, you are still young, why did you retire?" Claire was taken aback, Yi Qianya was going to retire, it was too sudden.

"Look at my body," Yi Qianya smiled helplessly. Indeed, after just a few casual conversations, Claire found that Yi Qianya's forehead was sweating, and she looked weak: "I always feel tired easily, and I'm afraid it's difficult to take on heavy responsibilities anymore." Therefore, in the future, the responsibility of the alliance army is yours! ”

"Your body...... What did Professor Huang say? ”

"That......'s what he suggested I retired," Yi Qianya said in a deep voice. Huang Lang told her that her physical condition was no longer suitable for taking on too heavy work. Her best choice is to let herself be idle, strive to live a few more years, and support Claire and other young people to go to the road.

Claire was speechless, she knew that Huang Lang would not easily advise Yi Qianya to retire. Since Huang Lang suggested this, it means that Yi Qianya's body does have a big problem.

"Have a good party and celebrate your promotion to general!" Yi Qianya instead smiled and suggested: "That is also a kind of declaration, to tell the world that General Claire will preside over the overall work of the alliance army!" ”

"Forget it, General, there's nothing to celebrate...... Claire said, and that's exactly what she thought. She knew that promoting herself, although Yi Qianya was optimistic about herself, but it was also out of helplessness. Yi Qianya, who was originally very healthy, became so weak inexplicably after waking up, she must not even have thought of herself, right?

Yi Qianya is like this, Claire, who originally planned to let Yi Qianya recover and take on the big responsibility, her hopes have been disappointed. This time, Claire can only continue to hold on, tired to think about, how can she still be in the mood to celebrate?

"Needed a lot! It's not just about celebrating......" But Yi Qianya doesn't think so. After all, she is a veteran of the battlefield with a lot of experience, even if she doesn't like political games very much, but she still knows some of the routines very well. So she saw that Claire couldn't seem to be able to keep up her spirits, so she persuaded her: "Write a thousand words, but the kung fu is outside the poem." Don't think that only military merit and ability are useful, many seemingly boring activities can be your means. So, you have to learn to use various occasions and ways to expand your influence. ”

"Thank you, General, for your teachings!"

Yi Qianya took a breath and continued: "At the same time, there are some things that you also have to learn not to be emotional, and coordinate the relationship with all forces. If there are some things that should be quietly watched, we must be cold and not easily interfere...... To be honest, I didn't do a good job in this area, that's why I have today, don't repeat the same mistakes! ”

"General......" Claire heard Yi Qianya's words say, "What do you mean?" ……”

Yi Qianya nodded: "Yes, that's what I'm talking about...... Since Leda offered it, she had the right. If Shu Yunpeng doesn't want to accept it, then simply say no. Shu Yunpeng is a person who wants to leave room for people to save face, but the result is often counterproductive...... Sometimes, not wanting to offend people will offend more people, and it will only end up complicating things. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you," Claire saw that Yi Qianya was very tired and seemed to be unable to sit still, so she hurriedly agreed: "You can rest for a while!" ”

She helped Yi Qianya lie down on the sofa, called the guards, and ordered them to stay together. At this moment, she already deeply felt the weight of the burden on her heart, and she secretly panicked in her heart. Before Yi Qianya recovered, she always had some hope, but now, she has no way out.

"Why don't you just have a celebration?" In the evening, Zhang Jingyi, Li Baozhen and Shu Yunpeng came to Claire's official residence together. As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Jingyi saw Claire's solemn and worried look, so she said disapprerovingly: "It's been a long time since I've had a good time, isn't it?" ”

"It's really tiring to greet the members of the committee and deal with other guests!" Li Baozhen said: "Why don't we hold a celebration together?" ”

"This may seem very disrespectful, and it makes people think that we are in a group, and the impact is not good!" Claire said: "It's a bit of a self-defeating one! ”

She was concerned about the impact and didn't want people to think that they were a small group.

"What are you afraid of? Is there anyone who doesn't think we're all in this together? Zhang Jingyi said. She felt that Claire was too cautious: "Of course I have to listen to you...... Anyway, I don't do it to have a separate celebration, what is there to celebrate? ”

"If you want me, you won't open it!" Shu Yunpeng was amused when he saw that they were actually entangled in this kind of thing: "Go to the fucking celebration, it's hard to say whether the promotion to the military rank is a blessing or a curse, celebrate a ball!" ”

"That's right!" Zhang Jingyi said: "Some people fight and shrink back desperately, and they will not be convinced when they encounter other people's promotions. I believe that if it is a celebration, maybe it will be a good opportunity for some people to say something sour and jealous, and it is better not to celebrate! ”

"It's possible," Shu Yunpeng agreed: "As for me, I definitely don't need to have any celebrations." A major who has no soldiers under his command has to put a question mark on whether he is a soldier or not, and what else is he celebrating? ”

"Don't mix ......" After Zhang Jingyi and Li Baozhen said goodbye and left, Claire said to Shu Yunpeng: "It was General Yi Qianya who asked me to do this!" ”

Shu Yunpeng opened his mouth and was speechless for a while. He couldn't think of why Yi Qianya wanted Claire to hold a celebration, but he knew that Yi Qianya must have her considerations, otherwise she wouldn't even intervene in this kind of thing.

She ...... Is it trying to push you to the forefront? After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that only this possibility was more realistic: "Is her physical condition very bad?" ”

Claire nodded silently. To be honest, she was really not ready, and a heavy burden fell on her shoulders, leaving her a little dispossessed: "I really don't know how to do it......"

"Since this is the case, then you have no way out, just go forward without hesitation!" Shu Yunpeng encouraged her and said: "No matter what happens, I will support you!" ”

"Probably that's all it takes......" Claire nodded and said, "Yi Qianya also said about Lida......"

"What did she say?"

She said...... Equal opportunities and the pursuit of what she wants are also Lida's rights. It's normal for a woman to take a fancy to you and ask you for this...... On the other hand, the law of the alliance is there, and there is no one who can force Shu Yunpeng to accept what he does not want, and neither can Lida. So, if you don't want to accept Leda, you can directly refuse, it's your right! It's better not to mix with the people next to you, let alone interfere with ......"

Shu Yunpeng was stunned for a while, and his brain went blank.

She also said that her suspicion that Leda had another purpose was just speculation and could not be relied upon. She also said that you want to save face too much, and it often backfires, and sometimes, if you don't want to offend people, you will offend more people, and it will only complicate things...... "Claire said: "Listen to her! Yi Qianya is more experienced than us. ”

Shu Yunpeng was silent. He originally thought that Lida was suspected of bullying others and forced him to comply, and Yi Qianya could administer justice. But Yi Qianya's words cleared his head. You say that Leda is bullying, but it's just a feeling. Even if this feels correct, there is no real evidence, and Lida has been polite and has not spoken excessively or acted excessively.

After thinking about it, he finally couldn't help but admit that Yi Qianya was right. Especially about his own style, Yi Qianya hit the nail on the head, and his approach was indeed suspected of getting twice the result with half the effort. Proceed with caution and walk on thin ice, sometimes the effect is counterproductive, and it can make people feel that you are weak.

However, if he rejected Lida directly, what kind of consequences would it bring in the end, and whether it would affect the people who were friends with him, he really couldn't judge.

"Let's take one step at a time!" That's all he can think.
