Chapter 1057: Shedding Blood And Sweat
After listening to everything, a long moment passed before Ye Jian1 quietly asked: “Uncle Chen, at that time, did you feel unfortunate?” Even though he possessed remarkable abilities, he was offered no choice other than to retire… Even though he could still travel farther distances, in the end, even his identity was wiped away and was now living the identity of a middle school principal.
Did you not feel helpless? Feel unfortunate?
Retiring in such a way, Principal Chen did not feel helpless against it; he very calmly accepted the military’s arrangements.
He laughed heartily at Ye Jian: “There’s nothing to feel unfortunate about. Every one of us will retire, I’ve only retired at an earlier date, and it can’t even be considered too early. Since retiring in 87 till today, ’97, it’s only just ten years’ time. During the last decade, even though I was retired, I was still making small contributions to the military. I’ve never felt like I had left; it’s more like a change to my position.”
“Besides, if I hadn’t retired, how would I even meet you, my emerging star! You’re the reason I don’t have any regrets because I have such a wonderful successor!”
There weren’t any helpless feelings or unfortunate feelings; he just felt empty now and again. But now, since he has a successor, the emptiness was gone! Passing on the knowledge of his lifetime to the next generation, passing the torch of guarding this land to the next generation, for this, he was without regrets!
With this revelation, the more Ye Jian understood that the things she knew today were the effort others had made in the past.
Since starting Hell’s training at the end of November, until deciding to spend a total of 26 days undergoing another session of Hell’s training in Hainan during the winter break, Ye Jian had once again experienced huge growth in less than half a year. She had successfully overcome her physical and mental limits over and over.
Under Principal Chen’s constant pressure, all six of Ye Jian’s endurance training had achieved the mark!
The 30 thousand meters urgent march was completed eleven minutes faster than what Principal Chen had estimated; she had achieved the passing mark of a special forces soldier, moreover, exceeding it!
“Shed more sweat during times of peace, and you’ll shed less blood during times of war,” after going through this intensive training, Ye Jian finally understood the significance of that sentence!
From not knowing to learning it, then mastering it, from the second half of ’97 till the second half of ’98, Ye Jian sustained her intensive training for a year, tempering her mind and body to new heights, as she marched unwaveringly towards her goals!
From Grade 11 moving onto the first half of their Grade 12 year, they parted ways with Yang Heng and his Grade 12 graduates batch. Ye Jian had also become a graduate-to-be Grade 12 student.
The ‘Countdown To Gaokao*’ was written on the blackboard, with every passing day, the counter went down by a day, and the studying atmosphere in the classroom was quite tense. Everyone was dedicating their all into preparing for the coming year’s Gaokao.
The Gaokao results of First Provincial High this year was relatively good. Twelve students were able to get into Huaqiao University and Guangxi University! Other than that, other graduates had been accepted into Universities overseas! First Provincial High had achieved the best results in their history in getting accepted into Top tier and Second-tier universities. They even managed to suppress the “Yao Jing’s Building Jumping” incident with their abilities, and they did not let down the reputation of their century-old school.
‘Yao Jing’s Building Jumping’ incident was mentioned every now and then from November last year till April of this year. It didn’t matter that she had entered the juvenile detention center. There were still countless students who believed the school should bear the most responsibility and that the school was why they did not educate their students properly!
Precisely as what Xia Jinyuan2 had said, Deputy Director Yao and Mrs. Yao did not bring up a lawsuit. Mrs. Yao did find a lawyer, and they made preparations for about three days, but something that caught her off guard came very quickly.
The sudden ambush by the Provincial Disciplinary Committee plunged Mrs. Yao into a scandal. It was also revealed that she had extorted a girl away from school for her daughter, Yao Jing, and the investigation from the Disciplinary Committee had put Mrs. Yao in a similar situation as her daughter, locked behind bars.
