Chapter 208 - 208: The New Daddy Is Connecting, Emergency Assembly Number
“Hey, the recruit assessment is over ~ That pervert is brought by our class monitor. He won’t directly come to our class, right?”
At the 4th Company’s station, in the Armor Garage, a few individuals were busy cleaning and maintaining the armored vehicles that had just been driven out.
In the midst of their work, someone quietly remarked, “It’s possible, but the odds are low. This recruit is so outstanding that our class monitor might not be able to recruit him.”
“Well, then I owe you my thanks. It would be best if another class takes him in. If he ends up in our class, you won’t be able to treat him like a new recruit! Else the uppers might come after your blood!”
“Haha, you’re absolutely right. This recruit is undoubtedly a gem, perhaps even a treasure of the entire training camp. If he does end up in our class, I hope no one dares to bully him, or the company commander will have our heads!”
The two experienced soldiers chuckled. However, in the next moment, the armored vehicle’s door swung open, and a junior officer stepped out, reprimanding them, “What nonsense are you two talking about? You can’t even handle your own tasks, yet you gossip all day long. It’s a wonder you get anything done.”
“Hehe, Vice-Captain, no, we’re focused on our work!”
“We’re definitely working hard!”
One of them was a freshly minted private, and the other had recently been promoted to sergeant. Despite their ranks, they instantly adopted a more obedient demeanor.
“You two just know how to talk nonsense. Isn’t it great to have a talented recruit in our class? We’re better off than the other classes, aren’t we? Or would you prefer to be compared and pushed beyond your limits every day?”
The vice-captain scolded them as he exited the vehicle.
However, there was no response from the two soldiers. After all, they were just ordinary soldiers, not class leaders.
And one of them, not too long ago, was a rookie. He had eagerly awaited the day when he could shed his rookie status and enjoy the prestige of being a seasoned veteran.
But now?
Their class monitor, Ye Sanshi, had brought in a recruit of exceptional caliber. This recruit had even shattered the 400-meter record for the entire regiment while still in the recruit company. Over the past two days of assessments, the recruit company had broken several records, thanks to him.
A recruit of such exceptional caliber that it sent shivers down one’s spine. Furthermore, this recruit had been internally selected to join the 4th Company.
If a soldier like that were assigned to his class, could he still boast about being a veteran?
From Ye Sanshi to the platoon leader and even up to the company commander, they would likely take him under their wing and reward him with specialized military training…
He was in a state of panic!
They said new recruits celebrated the new year with the veterans.
However, he felt no sense of celebration. All he felt was anxiety.
His worry stemmed from the possibility that this extraordinary recruit might end up in his class.
He heard what others were saying, but it went in one ear and out the other.
“What are you talking about? I’m not interested in being the class monitor or vice-class monitor. Second in charge is my military career goal. 1 don’t want to think too far ahead; I just want to focus on this year.”
Everyone knew what this recruit was thinking, but in this moment, nobody cared about his thoughts.
Of course, when compared to such an outstanding recruit, who would pay attention to a soldier who planned to run away after two years?
“Alright, don’t bother me. Are you finished?
1 can’t finish my cigarette. Do you want to smoke me into a piece of bacon?
And don’t come to me like this again.
If you’re looking for me next time, you better have run ten kilometers with full gear beforehand.”
The stern voice of Wu Jianfeng echoed from the company commander’s office in the recruit company.
Inside the room, Kang Hua sat on a stool with a smile, watching the line of soldiers being chased out.
The third one!
Another soldier who coveted Wang Ye.
In fact, several others had wanted to discuss this with Wu Jianfeng and even Kang Hua earlier.
However, Kang Hua had insisted that he couldn’t make the decision alone and that they needed to consult the company commander.
Wu Jianfeng had responded, “Why the rush? The assessments aren’t over yet. Focus on training your soldiers.”
They each had a sentence to say, and they efficiently sent these individuals away.
But now, the assessments were complete, and the new recruits were about to leave the company. Naturally, they began to approach one by one.
Yes, Wang Ye was currently a soldier under Ye Sanshi’s command.
But so what?
Just because the new recruit was currently under their leadership didn’t mean they would stay in the same class in the future.
He had already secured his place in the 4th Company, but he needed to carefully consider which class he would join.
It wasn’t only the Chief of Staff and the Company Commander who desired outstanding soldiers. Every class president and vice-president sought them out. This was because a good soldier had a significant impact on the entire group and played a vital role in shaping their future.
“What’s so amusing? These guys are like sharks smelling blood!” Wu Jianfeng grumbled while looking at Kang Hua’s expression.
“Haha!” Kang Hua chuckled and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. “Come on, come on… Huahua is tired of smoking; light up my poor cigarette!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wu Jianfeng stepped forward and took the cigarette. “I’m not that greedy. 1 was just joking. Did you see me taking their money?”
Wu Jianfeng was genuinely puzzled. These individuals had sent gifts, but he couldn’t accept them.
Of course, he had accepted a few of the men who had come to talk to the company commander.
They weren’t interested in Wang Ye. He didn’t have a say in the allocation of other good soldiers anyway. Providing a bit of information in exchange for a few packs of cigarettes wasn’t a bad deal.
*Dong dong!*
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from behind.
“Don’t they understand my words?” Wu Jianfeng, cigarette in his mouth and about to light it, suddenly became furious and yelled at the door.
“Reporting, Company Commander… it’s me!”
A feeble voice could be heard from outside the door.
Wu Jianfeng’s headache intensified upon hearing the voice..
