After the evaluation committee received the letter of appointment returned by Chen Qihan, everyone was surprised and thought that something was wrong. [Chen Qihan and his comrades].
Because Chen Qihan's status in the army is very high, everyone thinks that he is at least a general, and the lieutenant general is too low, in order to avoid mistakes, the staff directly found Chen Qihan and confirmed that his self-assessment result was really a lieutenant general. Unexpectedly, Chen Qihan nodded affirmatively, and said with a smile that it was okay for him to be a lieutenant general.
