Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2776: Chapter 2712: There Was Once a Medicinal Painting

Who is this Commander Cui?

Jiang Xiao hadn’t paid attention to these people in the past. She was just an ordinary student and citizen back then, without any opportunity to hear those names.

So now, hearing Commander Cui’s name left her a little bewildered.

Li Hanzhong said, ”Currently, Commander Cui holds the highest position in the Alliance’s military team, as you know, the Alliance also has divisions.”

With this explanation, Jiang Xiao began to understand.

Li Hanzhong is in a civil position, while Commander Cui holds a military position. Although Commander Cui still has to obey Li Hanzhong for major decisions, when it comes to internal Alliance affairs, it’s his responsibility. If Li Hanzhong meddles in everything, it might inevitably lead to displeasure for Commander Cui.

Normally, any displeasure is manageable, but at this critical moment, if he gets estranged from Li Hanzhong and is exploited by Lu Zhenggang’s side, things could become dangerous.

Jiang Xiao doesn’t quite understand the intricacies of Alliance management, but she knows the importance.

She pressed her lips together and said, ”So, what’s Commander Cui’s stance now?”

”Commander Cui is still considering, but this matter needs to be decided within two hours. I have to deal with this first.”

Jiang Xiao immediately stood up.

”I understand, I’ll head out now. Uncle, you go ahead, I won’t disturb you.”

Now she understands why Li Hanzhong can’t rest; many wartime decisions simply cannot wait until you wake up to consider them. They are all racing against time.

Li Hanzhong only mentioned this matter to her because it involves Meng Xinian.

But, there are undoubtedly many other issues waiting for him to address.

Sitting in this position, one has to handle many matters they normally wouldn’t even think of.

Jiang Xiao feels that it really is quite exhausting.

So, giving those things away truly didn’t cause her any heartache.

”Little,” Li Hanzhong called out to her, paused for a moment, ”I remember you painted a medicinal painting for Old Mr. Bai from City J?”

Bringing up this issue suddenly made Jiang Xiao’s heart skip a beat.

”Yes.”

Even so, she answered candidly.

”What’s the purpose of that painting?”

”It’s made with high-quality medicinal ingredients mixed into the paint, allowing the viewer to absorb some medicinal properties while appreciating the painting. It’s actually more of a psychological comfort.”

Jiang Xiao knows this explanation is flimsy, but it’s the best she can offer.

”However, such a painting has medicinal properties that last about three months to six months.” She asked, ”Uncle, why are you asking about this?”

Li Hanzhong didn’t really know why he suddenly mentioned it to Jiang Xiao, perhaps the potions and ginseng slices she brought gave him confidence.

”I wanted to tell you, Commander Cui’s wife has a heart condition and it seems to be flaring up frequently recently. Commander Cui met his wife when he was young, and her family helped him a lot back then, so he is very grateful. Over the decades, he has always loved and respected her deeply.”

At this point, the phone rang.

Li Hanzhong apparently intended to say just so much, so he told Jiang Xiao, ”You go back first.”

”I understand, goodbye Uncle.”

Jiang Xiao watched him pick up the receiver, immediately turned, and walked out.

Once the door shut, she raised her eyebrows.
