Qian Xiaoshuang snorted, "It looks like you guys have made a contribution this time. Are you getting promoted? That's why you're talking so cheekily."
Yan Kai nodded, "I've received word from above. I'm off to the party school for studies next March, and I reckon Gu Junming will be reassigned soon." Going there means a definite promotion, though it's likely an administrative post. However, Gu Junming should fare better and might end up leading a field regiment, which is something he's longed for.
Yan Kai thought to himself that he, Gu Junming, and Wang Hu used to be on the same starting line. Now that Wang Hu has been reassigned far away, he's effectively withdrawn from the race, and Gu Junming has finally surpassed him.
He felt a bit off about it, but considering Gu Junming wrote those flood prevention plans beforehand and even saved someone, it would feel wrong for Yan Kai to be promoted instead. He would just have to wait for the next opportunity.
