"Thank you for the trouble, Political Commissar Xu," Ling Zihan said, keeping to the formalities.
Political Commissar Xu waved his hand. "What trouble is this? It is what a political commissar ought to do. For years, I have been troubled by the fact that pension payments for military personnel could not reach those who truly deserved them. Even when they were distributed, the distances were too great, and I felt powerless to act. The policy you proposed this time has truly brought tangible benefits to the soldiers; that is a merit in itself."
Political Commissar Xu had already decided how he would write his next report on Ling Zihan. When a man accumulates merits, even small ones, promotion becomes much easier.
