They could only find some bed sheets nearby, throw their money into them, ask Wang Fang for leave, and go to the bank outside to deposit their money.

Jinzi and the others looked bitter, but they had no other choice. They could only find some bed sheets nearby, throw their money into them, ask Wang Fang for leave, and go to the bank outside to deposit their money.
Although the bank still has various suspicions, their numbers are not very large. Besides, this is just Liu Ning's speculation. A lot of money is not recorded. Different people deposit money, so the bank doesn't have the time to investigate.
Jinzi and his group didn't have the time to count the money here. If they were to count all the money, their wrists would cramp up. It was truly a case of counting money until their hands cramped. Just looking at this batch of cash made them feel powerless. Each time they carried a bed sheet out, it took several trips to deposit it. They would probably have to make the same trip again when they got their paychecks next month. Whenever they thought about this, they felt like they were going crazy.
On the second day, Wang Laohu came to see the doctor and also told Liu Ning about his future position: the military advisor of the city. To put it nicely, it was a military advisor position; to put it bluntly, it was just a sinecure, essentially a staff officer.
He was just a staff officer with the rank of commander.
Lying in his hospital bed, Liu Ning saw the appointment notice for himself. He didn't have the time to fight for such a position. No matter what rank they gave him, as long as he could have a guard battalion and get the gold, Liu Ning would consider it a victory. As for any other demands, Liu Ning didn't even want to think about them now.
According to the prevailing opinion in the capital, Liu Ning probably wouldn't even be able to secure such a position. However, Liu Ning's contributions were so great that everyone, from top to bottom, was well aware of them. In particular, those who accompanied him knew that he had hunted many ferocious beasts along the way. If they didn't give him an explanation, the matter wouldn't be resolved. Everyone's eyes were sharp; did you think you could stop his progress with just a few words? Of course not. That's why this compromise was reached. Liu Ning understood that this was already the biggest concession from above, and he shouldn't dwell on it too much, as dwelling on it wouldn't lead to any good results.
"To be honest, we've done our best, but as you know, positions above your rank are not under my father's control. Everyone at the top and bottom has the power to make decisions, so we can only obey. Besides, you've just taken office, so this is a probationary period. We can't give you any very important positions. However, we can get everything you asked for. If you really want to develop in the military, I can enroll you in the Central Military Academy. When you graduate from the Central Military Academy, your treatment will be much better than it is now."
Seeing that Liu Ning's face was not very happy, Wang Laohu tried to comfort him. The Central Military Academy is the highest-level military academy at present. Others would probably work hard for a long time to get in, but Liu Ning is different. If Liu Ning goes there, even the school's instructors would probably salute him. Who can blame him when Liu Ning is of a higher rank?
"Forget about going to school. I have absolutely no interest in that. I didn't know anything in the books when I was in school. Now that I've finally made it this far, to make me go back to school would be the death of me."
Liu Ning was indeed dissatisfied with this arrangement, but as the saying goes, you can't fight city hall. What could Liu Ning do even if he was unhappy? His demands had already been met. If he continued to make trouble like this, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble for Old Master Wang. So, knowing when to stop was the best course of action for Liu Ning.
"What's going on? Didn't they say I could apply for this and that the size of the guard battalion could be expanded? Why have they only given me a guard battalion of 1,500 men now? Is the size of the unit going to be reduced too? Is Old Kong really that capable? I really want to go to the capital to visit him."
Upon seeing the scale of the military camp, Liu Ning was like a firecracker that had been lit. All his previous talk seemed to have been in vain; there was no way he would be given such capabilities. So, this was the scale the camp had given him.
"Brother, I'm so sorry about this. I didn't think the higher-ups would go that far, but they've already issued a firm order. My father is too ashamed to face you. I thought this would all fall into place naturally, but they actually sent down an observation team..."
Wang Laohu looked genuinely guilty. If it were someone else, this request wouldn't be a big deal, and Liu Ning's request wasn't unreasonable. However, he felt guilty for not being able to fulfill even this request. But what could he do? After all, the higher-ups had their own ideas, and the decision had already been made. He couldn't back down now, so he could only ask Liu Ning to make the sacrifice.
Seeing Wang Laohu's words, Liu Ning could only admit to the matter from the side. Liu Ning made a note of it. Although he couldn't do anything to Wang Laohu and his group, Liu Ning knew that the whole thing was done by the man surnamed Kong. Liu Ning would never forget this matter. When the time came to investigate, he would definitely make those people pay.
"Although that's the number, we can take care of you in other aspects. For example, the military camp is located next to your private training room. I've moved all the other troops away, so you can take good care of them, and they can protect your family well. It's a win-win situation for both of you. That's all I can do."
To outsiders, Wang Laohu was indeed very powerful, but he also had many helpless situations in this matter. If Wang Laohu had been more capable, things would not have ended this way. But there are many powerful people in this society.
Liu Ning nodded. Seeing that Liu Ning wasn't very interested in the conversation, Wang Laohu left the materials with him. It was perfectly normal for Liu Ning to be unhappy; how many people could be happy in this state? But we're not here to dwell on these things anymore; we'll just have to get by from now on.
