Why refuse the promotion ceremony?
How could such a solemn ceremony be omitted?
No matter how low he lowered his voice, she could hear him. Before he could finish packing, Ye Jian smiled and said, "Captain Xia, I want to see you get promoted. Is that okay?"

There were three times when enlisted soldiers could best display their military charm.
Firstly, on their first day in the army when they put on my uniform.
Secondly, the ceremony where they're awarded their gun.
Thirdly, ceremonies where they're promoted.
