"This..." Song Xiaodong said a bit awkwardly, "I am a Colonel."
At his age, reaching this rank is already quite impressive, thanks to him being in the special forces. Otherwise, in regular units, reaching this position before thirty-five would be very difficult.
"Pfft..." Yang Yushi suddenly laughed and said, "I really want to see you two meet. Will you salute her then?"
Song Xiaodong replied straightforwardly, "Of course, she's a Senior Officer, I naturally have to salute her."
Seeing Song Xiaodong answer so naturally, Yang Yushi asked in confusion, "But she's a woman, don't you feel awkward?"
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. In the military, a Senior Officer is a Senior Officer. As a subordinate, I must show enough respect to my superior and carry out their orders."
Yang Yushi stared at Song Xiaodong and then praised him, saying, "Xiaodong, you truly are a qualified soldier."
Song Xiaodong said, "Once a soldier, always a soldier!"
