Chapter 1104: Are You Asking for Leave?

Seeing his good brother run over to answer the phone with a beaming smile just a second ago, only to be in low spirits now, he said, "Alright, this only proves your wife is excellent; you should be happy."

Remembering something, he asked another question: "By the way, what does your sister-in-law do at the factory?"

Fu Yan Cheng adjusted his emotions: "You're right. My wife is so excellent; naturally, I must support her unconditionally. She works in the finance department at the unit, but this time she isn't going there in her capacity as finance staff; she's going as an accompanying translator."

Shen Kaiyuan immediately shouted out: "Translator? Does your sister-in-law know foreign languages?"

He naturally knew how capable his own wife was, but she had previously said she didn't want to be too conspicuous: "Yes, but this time it's because the comrade responsible for translation at the factory was injured, so she was temporarily seconded over. Her actual job is an accountant."

The two of them talked as they walked toward the dormitory.

Fu Yan Cheng's heart was, however, somewhat unsettled. They had only just gotten married, and his wife would be away for over a month. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, made a decision in his heart, and patted Shen Kaiyuan's shoulder: "Brother, if I return late tomorrow morning, help me lead the training."

His deputy regiment commander, Sun Qianjin, had taken leave these past few days due to family matters, so he naturally entrusted this task to his good brother.

Seeing his posture, Shen Kaiyuan said: "Are you asking for leave?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded at him and ran toward the office area: "Yes, I'm going back for a while."

By the time Shen Kaiyuan reacted: "Damn, being married really changes things. Where's your principle?"

Unfortunately, the person had already run far away; how could he possibly hear what he said.

Fu Yan Cheng ran straight to Regiment Commander Zhang Mingchang. It was also his good luck that when he arrived, Commander Zhang was just preparing to leave. Seeing him come in panting, he asked: "What's the emergency?"

Fu Yan Cheng rendered a military salute: "Report, Regiment Commander, I wish to request leave."

Commander Zhang frowned at him: "Didn't you just return from your wedding leave a few days ago? Why ask for leave again?"

Fu Yan Cheng explained the situation: "Regiment Commander, I will return now, put her on the train tomorrow, and rejoin the unit. Please approve, Regiment Commander."

Commander Zhang, having been through it himself, naturally understood his feelings: "What time is your wife's train tomorrow?"

Hearing there was a chance, Fu Yan Cheng said: "Tomorrow morning at six o'clock."

Commander Zhang thought it wouldn't affect training or work: "Fine, I approve."

Fu Yan Cheng rarely had a smile on his face: "Thank you, Regiment Commander."

Having finished speaking, he turned and ran out, not bothering to return to the dormitory to change clothes, and ran straight outside the barracks. There was a shuttle bus departing from the barracks to the barracks in fifteen minutes.

After all, regiment-level cadres were not currently assigned vehicles, and the regiment had only one jeep, which could not be used for private purposes, so he had to catch this shuttle bus.

Liu Chuxue did not know that her single notification call had caused Fu Yan Cheng to ignore the fatigue from just finishing training, request leave, and run back.

Seeing her in-laws enter, Liu Chuxue stood up: "Mom, Dad, you're back?"

Fu's mother, having entered, naturally heard a few words: "You're going on a business trip?"

Fu's father, hearing the words "business trip" behind him, thought of the Canton Fair, after all, their bearing factory had also sent personnel to attend.

He heard Liu Chuxue say: "Yes, the accompanying translator for the factory's participation in the Canton Fair was injured, so I was temporarily seconded to help."

Hearing "Canton Fair," Fu's mother understood why the fourth daughter-in-law had come this time: "Then this trip won't be short."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I'm afraid it will be over forty days. I'm leaving tomorrow with the colleagues who went ahead to prepare. I came today just to tell you, Mom and Dad."
