Chapter 209: The New Daddy Is Connecting, Emergency Gathering Number (2)

The next second, the office door was pushed open, and Ye Sanshi entered, wearing a disgruntled expression.

“Who allowed you to come in?” Wu Jianfeng exclaimed angrily.

“Captain, even if you punish me now, 1 had to come in,” Ye Sanshi resembled a wronged spouse. After uttering these words, he quickly poured out his grievances. “All of you are here to poach my soldier, Company Commander. I’m the one who led Wang Ye. Over the past three months, I’ve toiled day and night, bit by bit…”

“Stop!” Wu Jianfeng, who had just lit his cigarette, waved his hand and yelled for him to halt.

“What nonsense are you babbling about? It’s true that you contributed a bit to Wang Ye’s training, but whether he breaks a record or not is none of your concern. Just be happy that you’ve got a good soldier.”

Wu Jianfeng turned his back to him.

He didn’t want to witness his unpleasant demeanor, so why pretend?

“Get out! I’m still awaiting the instructor’s opinion on Wang Ye’s assignment. If you keep pestering me, I’ll exclude you straight away!”

“I…!” Ye Sanshi wanted to say something but immediately covered his mouth.

He was still fearful that Wu Jianfeng might lose his temper and eject him for his words. If that occurred, he’d be utterly distraught.

Seeing Ye Sanshi turn to gaze at him, Kang Hua smiled helplessly.

This guy was here to stir up trouble. Although he didn’t want to admit it, looking at him now, if he didn’t share the burden, he’d surely unleash a torrent of curses.

“Go back. The captain and 1 will discuss this matter!”

This time, Ye Sanshi was obedient.

In fact, Ye Sanshi had already accomplished his objective.

He had only come here to vent. He didn’t anticipate Wu Jianfeng’s agreement. He simply wished to convey his stance and make his presence felt.

After all, he possessed the inherent advantage, and Wang Ye was a recruit he had brought in.

His sole purpose was to emphasize this.

“Dad and Mom will return tomorrow morning. Work hard in the army for two years. When you return in two years, 1’11 let you take over the family business. After nurturing you for a few years, 1 should retire!”

Wang Ye strolled on the field with his parents.

After the award ceremony, Wang Ye, along with his parents and the regiment commander, had their photos taken. Wang Ye was also asked to participate in some promotional photos, but they were done with it afterward.

The entire company was free to move around the camp.

Wang Ye naturally accompanied his parents.

Upon hearing his father’s words, Wang Ye smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll give it my all!”

Wang Ye didn’t mention anything about his plans to attend military school. He didn’t want to boast or discuss things that weren’t confirmed yet. He figured he could address it when the time came.

As for aligning his father’s intentions with his own, Wang Ye would continue to work diligently when the time arrived.

If that didn’t pan out, he could build a strong relationship with a professional manager. After all, it didn’t specify that the boss had to oversee the company daily. All the shares were in his possession, and the manager could be an outsider.

“Son, do you really want us to take this certificate back? Don’t you want to keep it with you in the army?”

At this point, Xu Xiaofeng, who had been holding Wang Ye’s medal certificate and ribbon, chimed in.

Wang Ye smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’ll leave the medal behind. I’ll have you take back my other third-class merit certificate later!”

Wang Ye understood his parents’ thoughts. If they took the certificate back, they could go home and show it off…

Following that, Wang Ye engaged in a lengthy conversation with his parents. However, he primarily took the initiative to discuss his family’s business.

While discussing e-commerce, Wang Ye discreetly offered his perspective, providing his parents with various insights and solutions.

Just because he didn’t want to return and inherit the family business didn’t mean he didn’t want his father to achieve more success.

After all, Bitcoin was somewhat enigmatic. If it wasn’t Bitcoin that gained popularity due to his rebirth and the ripple effect, it could be a different cryptocurrency entirely.

Therefore, it would be even more advantageous if his own enterprise could expand.

At half-past five, Wang Ye escorted his parents to the camp’s gate.

Tonight, his parents wouldn’t eat in the canteen to avoid causing any issues with the other recruits.

In fact, they only dined in the canteen the previous night.

Today, they all had their meals at the guesthouse. But tonight, Wang Ye and the others were permitted to join their parents for dinner at the guesthouse.

After all, they would be departing tomorrow.

As Officer He waited, nine recruits and their families gathered from various parts of the camp.

Once they were assembled, Kang Hua also joined them.

He would accompany Wang Ye tonight.

“Son, learn from your comrade Wang Ye and do your best,” one of the parents advised.

“Yes, son. Your father also wishes to serve again, especially during a time when you’re making a contribution. Our family’s honor depends on you!” another parent added.

At the guesthouse dining table, the meal hadn’t been served yet, so everyone engaged in conversation. Given that parents and their children were all present tonight, the discussions naturally revolved around their children and Wang Ye.

Wang Ye was about to respond humbly, but something unexpected occurred.

“Whoo…”

“Hmm?” Wang Ye and the other recruits turned their heads in astonishment toward the neighboring recruit company.

Kang Hua and Officer He’s expressions changed, and Officer He stood up abruptly.

“Instructor!”

Wang Ye looked at Kang Hua and inquired, “What’s happening?”

“Let’s go, it’s an emergency assembly call. We need to head back!” Kang Hua said as he pushed his chair aside.

However, before departing, he glanced at Officer He and stated, “1’11 take them back first. It appears that we’re the ones who messed up. You stay here for now.”

“Yes!” Officer He nodded solemnly.

Emergency assembly call. Something unexpected must have occurred for an unplanned emergency assembly call.

However, this was the recruit company’s emergency assembly call. It indicated that something might have gone awry within the recruit company.

After all, if a real crisis had arisen, even if the regiment headquarters issued an emergency assembly call, they wouldn’t involve the new recruits.

A group of new recruits without a designated company wouldn’t be included, even if a genuine emergency had taken place.

“What’s happening? What’s going on?”

“Indeed! What’s this emergency assembly call about? Son, is there a war brewing?”

The parents were equally baffled at this moment. Some of them held onto their sons and daughters, seeking explanations. Xu Xiaofeng briefly grabbed Wang Ye’s arm but quickly released it. Her worried expression was apparent.

“It’s definitely not a war. Something must have happened. Sir, Mam, we have to go now!” Kang Hua didn’t ask Wang Ye and the others for explanations. In reality, there was no way to explain. If he wasn’t aware of the situation, how could Wang Ye and the others know?

This was actually the first time Wang Ye and the others had heard the camp’s emergency assembly whistle. They had been taught about it before, but they only played the bugle sounds using a tape recorder to teach everyone how to recognize them.

The camp had never issued an emergency assembly call before. Emergency assemblies were always signaled by a whistle. They wouldn’t use an emergency assembly number that could be heard directly in the family area next to the camp.

“Dad, Mom, it’s alright. I have to go!” Wang Ye didn’t say much and followed Kang Hua as they rushed off. The other recruits did the same.

After offering a brief farewell to his parents, he hurried to join the others.

As soldiers, although they hadn’t received promotions yet, they already held a title. Therefore, even though they wished to stay with their parents right now, when the emergency assembly call was sounded, they had one clear thought they had to return quickly.
