Fang Huai didn't answer but turned to size up the young man who had asked the question.
Knowing the term "first year," he must have been a soldier, but given his large pompadour hairstyle, he was surely not on active duty.
"Oh, Fang Huai is with the Firefighting! His uncle's over there too, I heard from Shaoqing that he's a big shot, a Regimental commander... Regimental commander, right, Fang Huai?"
Seeing that Fang Huai didn't respond, Chen Louxiang thought he was reluctant to talk about his family connections and smiled as he mentioned it.
In the local area, having connections was not something to be concerned about; instead, it could earn someone a higher regard.
Moreover, the Firefighting cadres held great power and were highly sought after.
Fang Huai knew that Uncle Chen wanted to save face, so he nodded and said,
"Yes, he was recently promoted to major general, serving as the deputy of the whole corps."
