Everyone's been reborn, who'd still want to join the army!

Chapter 13 Sigh... I think I'll just join the army! [Please read on! Please comment!]

This moment.

Chu Weiguo shed the pretense that a father habitually maintained in front of his son.

He did not press Chu Zhao for why he had this idea, nor did he try to use his father's authority to force Chu Zhao to give up the idea.

He only wanted to use the insights he had gained from more than forty years of wandering and bewilderment in the world to teach his son a lesson.

Life is not easy.

He believed.

He believed his son would be more successful than him in the future.

But when faced with such a major choice that involves the direction of one's life...

Even if you know your advice might not be of much help.

This father, who has been carrying the burden of three families alone for more than a decade, still wants to point out the right direction for his son, who seems to be in a state of confusion.

"..."

He forced a stiff smile.

Chu Zhao wanted to put on a relaxed smile, wanting to cheerfully tell Old Chu, as he always had, that there was no need to worry about him.

But in this world... what father doesn't worry about his son?

he knows.

It was no longer possible for him to persuade Old Chu.

Not to mention... a pair of invisible hands had completely disrupted Chu Zhao's plans.

Every young man who enlists in the military receives a discharge allowance and subsidies from the military.

They can also receive preferential treatment allowances from the local government where they enlist.

For college students like Chu Zhao, the amount of preferential treatment allowance will increase, reaching a full six thousand yuan per year!

The first year's allowance will be issued within half a month after Chu Zhao enlists.

The second year's allowance, however, would be received by Chu Zhao after his discharge from the military, upon presentation of his resettlement card.

In 2007, this preferential treatment allowance, totaling 12,000 yuan, was an indisputable huge sum, equivalent to three or four years' average income for local farmers.

However, once young people enlist and arrive at the military base, they find that they are not suited to military life and have a strong desire to leave the military.

If persuasion fails, the person involved will not only be labeled as "refusing military service" in their household registration, but will also be completely barred from working within the system in the future.

More importantly, the person involved will also have to return the preferential treatment money they have already received, and will face a fine of double the amount of the preferential treatment money over two years!

Chu Zhao didn't care about jobs within the system.

But the 24,000 yuan fine... is not so easy to resolve.

Chu Zhao originally thought that he could easily pay the fine after the lottery results were announced.

But now, the first prize has become the third prize.

After paying 20% ​​personal income tax, Chu Zhao would only receive about 24,000 yuan.

So all that work I did these past few days was just to pay a fine?

If this initial funding is lost, how will Chu Zhao begin his plan to get rich?

It seems that... there is only one choice left for Chu Zhao.

"Sigh... never mind, Dad, just pretend I farted."

"I think I'll join the army instead."

Chu Zhao did the math.

If I serve in the army for two years, including the discharge pay and various subsidies, plus the tuition fee refunded for one year, I can earn a total of forty to fifty thousand yuan.

With this money, Chu Zhao can start his own wealth-building plan, and in just a few years he will be able to lead Old Chu to a life of financial freedom!

Thinking of this, Chu Zhao couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

A reborn individual who accumulated his "first pot of gold" while serving in the military.

Looking across the online literature world, am I the first person to do something like this?

"Son, it's not that I don't support you doing business."

"It's good that you have this idea, but the timing isn't right."

Seeing that Chu Zhao changed his mind so quickly.

Chu Weiguo, who had initially thought he would have to spend a lot of time explaining, suddenly panicked, fearing that it would dampen his son's enthusiasm, and quickly said...

"Sigh, I can't explain it to you in a short time."

"Let's go home first, Director Hao and the others are waiting to see you."

"Let's finish these things first, then we can have a proper chat!"

Looking at Old Chu, who was on high alert and had a serious expression, I could see that he was facing a formidable enemy.

Chu Zhao wore a wry smile and was about to explain.

But then he thought back to the last second when he had confidently declared that he didn't want to join the army and wanted to go into business.

The fact that he changed his mind the next second inevitably made Lao Chu feel like he was just going through the motions.

Since they were going to have a heart-to-heart talk later, Chu Zhao simply stopped talking, nodded, and let Chu Weiguo start the van and drive home.

Halfway there, Chu Zhao suddenly remembered something.

Since the district leaders have come to us, we naturally won't come empty-handed.

So, can I still get a bonus?

With this in mind.

This brought considerable comfort to Chu Zhao, who was somewhat disappointed by the "lottery winnings turning into prizes".

He glanced at Old Chu beside him.

Chu Zhao's heart tightened, and she quickly moved closer to Chu Weiguo, giving him some instructions.

"Dad, if the district leaders give me a bonus later, I can't refuse it!"

"nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Weiguo rolled his eyes, glanced at Chu Zhao first, and then said with a hint of pride.

"I, Chu Weiguo, don't care for money that's given away for free!"

"But this is your reward for acting bravely, earned through your own merit. You absolutely cannot refuse it!"

"Hey...you brat, Director Hao only said you did a good deed, but he didn't say exactly what happened."

"Give me a simple explanation, so that when we get back and talk about it, I, as the father, won't be completely clueless!"

He raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Chu Zhao then realized that the news of the little girl falling into the water had not spread.

It seems that Director Hao and others felt that it was not honorable for a family member of a foreign director to accidentally fall into the water in the park, so they deliberately concealed the news.

If it weren't for the search, Chu Weiguo might not even have known that the little girl was missing!

"It's really not a big deal..."

He recounted the events of that day to Chu Weiguo in a casual tone.

Chu Zhao raised his chin with a hint of pride, ready to receive Old Chu's praise.

Who would have thought that instead of praise, they would be met with a barrage of scolding from Old Chu!

"You brat! Are you out of your mind?!"

"Can you even swim? You dared to jump in and save someone?"

Chu Weiguo slammed on the brakes, pulling the car to the side of the road. He then turned his gaze and glared angrily at Chu Zhao!

Chu Zhao just said he didn't want to join the army anymore, and Chu Weiguo didn't even seem this angry!

It seems... Old Chu is truly angry and truly afraid!

"If I couldn't swim, would you still be able to see me now?"

He replied somewhat hesitantly.

Seeing that Chu Weiguo was starting to tremble with anger and his breathing was becoming increasingly rapid.

Chu Zhao was afraid that he would get sick from anger, so she quickly stepped forward and gently patted Chu Weiguo's back, while saying in a flattering tone.

"Oh dear, Dad, it's all over now, why are you so agitated?"

"You're complaining that I didn't tell you about this? With your reaction, how could I dare to open my mouth?"
