Commander Yu did indeed speak to Li Hongjun about his return to the unit after his injury. Originally, the higher-ups intended to let Li Hongjun, a newly-minted war hero, organize a new team. However, due to the incident with Qiu Shuping from the Li Family, there were objections. Opponents used his mother as a point of contention. In the end, the decision was for Li Hongjun to go to Z Province, but not to form a team on his own. Rather, he would continue as a regimental commander in a certain military region.
"So, it means you're still getting promoted, but the opportunity isn't as good as before, right?" Shen Yunfang summarized after listening to his recount.
"It can't be said that way. Isn't there a saying 'a blessing in disguise'? Right now, no one knows which path will lead to better prospects," Li Hongjun consoled his wife. Things had already come to this, and there was nothing he could do about having a mother like that.
