Gai Zhengfei felt embarrassed as soon as he heard the answer.
After all, asking such a question had already cost him some face. Seeking backdoor favors was somewhat disgraceful for people of their command-level stature.
Yet his family's elders were pressing him, and he couldn't just pretend he hadn't heard them.
But now that he had received such a clear response, it was difficult for him to continue the conversation.
"General Musheng is right. I won't trouble General Musheng any further. If the young members of our family are truly outstanding, they will naturally possess the ability to succeed on their own. I apologize for disturbing you, General Musheng."
Gai Zhengfei was rather straightforward in nature; he didn't feel he had lost face by speaking openly, and he was quite polite toward Musheng.
Musheng didn't have any aversion to this kind of person. If others treated her with courtesy, she naturally responded in kind.
