There were only a little over twenty days left from now until the last day of the year. Lin Qi had said he would announce the appointment before the New Year, which meant that in at most a little over twenty days, he would become Vice President.
As for whether Lin Qi would honor his promise, Sergeant had never worried about that.
If Lin Qi had been a liar, he would never have achieved what he had today.
Many people believed that sincerity and trustworthiness had played a major role among the many factors behind Lin Qi's success.
Success had never favored liars. Even if some liars enjoyed a moment of luck, they would eventually take a hard fall at some crossroads, smashing themselves bloody and losing even the strength to get back up.
Sergeant returned home half an hour early, looking somewhat excited. After his wife helped him take off his coat, she looked at her husband, who had grown increasingly steady over the years, acting so uncharacteristically unsteady. A smile also appeared on her face. "Did something good happen?"
Sergeant walked into the kitchen with his wife. He picked up a slice of food from one of the prepared plates on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. "Do I look like I can't hide anything?"
"Just like that time you climbed outside my bedroom window!" His wife turned around and rolled her eyes.
Not long after graduating from high school, Sergeant had enlisted. Before joining the army, he had felt that even if he was leaving, he had to figure out what the girl was thinking.
At around ten that night, he had climbed outside her window. The moment the girl saw him, she understood what he wanted even though he had not said a word.
