Seeing that Ye Jian was still pondering about it, he continued, “The military training that your school is having will involve our soldiers. Basics like commands and army cadences are child’s play for you. You don’t have to participate in that. If you succeed, I promise to bring you to a good place.”
Bring me to a good... place?
The National Day military training was indeed a child’s play for her. The moment Mrs. Tong announced it, she was tempted to take leave. However, it had to be completed since it was going to be included in the students’ school records.
Now, there was a chance that she would not need to participate, but there were terms and conditions by Commander Liu.
She was tempted by the motorized infantry’s training. It was a challenge for her.
Commander Liu’s sharp eyes could see her hesitation and added, “You definitely won’t lose out. Even if you didn’t manage to meet my expectations, you will still be here every day. There’s no loss. At most, you will need to participate in seven days of easy basic military training, and the instructor will get you to be the ‘role model’.”
It’s true. She wouldn’t lose anything if she didn’t meet the standards, and if she did, she’d gain! Not only can she train and compete with the motorized infantry, but she could also skip the school’s military training!
It’s a win-win for her.
Seeing that things were about to materialize, Commander Liu secretly gave the smiling commissar a look. In an instant, the commissar became serious got into action.
He was indeed a political commissar with an instructor background. He was adept at mobilizing specific thoughts. “Not much, just seven days of holidays. After the seven days, you can come back. And I promise that it would not affect your school records. Instead, it can add some political points for you when you’re applying for military school.”
Ye Jian’s heart wavered. But Commander Liu was a greedy man and Commissar Yan was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Ye Jian’s gaze fell onto Xia Jinyuan, who was keeping silent.
Taking a step back, she nudged Xia Jinyuan lightly, who seemed to be thinking about something, and whispered, “Captain Xia, should I agree?”
A regiment commander said that he would bring Little Fox out and also add some political points... that’s no trivial matter.
And the little fox came to him for reassurance... Having gained her trust, Xia Jinyuan signaled her to be calm and asked Commander Liu with a faint smile, “You’ve always done things without discussing with the soldiers. Now that you’re discussing with us, we’re not very used to it.”
“How about this? Commander Liu, since Ye Jian doesn’t know what you’re referring to, and also what standards she should achieve before being able to go with you, why not you show her what your expectations are?”
Commander Liu glanced at Ye Jian before looking at Xia Jinyuan. His eyes flickered a little before smiling intriguingly. “Sure, does it mean that there’s a chance? Major Xia, can you... help Ye Jian make a decision?”
“She should be the one making the decision. I’ll just assess this for her. I can’t help it. Commander Liu, you are the unit’s ‘Buddha’, not even the Monkey King can escape from your palm. Ye Jian is just a little girl. All you did was just give her a bunch of sweets and she trusts you already. She hasn’t even had a taste of it yet.”
“I’m here to assess things for her, see what’s your expectations, and judge what she’s going to do.”
Xia Jinyuan was an expert in testing leaders and bringing them back to the topic. He would always dominate the conversations and not let the other person lead him away from the topic.
