Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 777 It's huge...

"You absolutely have to participate!"

He Chenliang opened his eyes and immediately answered.

Even if Lin Yanbin himself didn't want to, He Chenliang had to persuade him.

Although Lin Yanbin is now a squad leader in the Sixth Steel Company, it's still not as good as being in the Wolf Warriors!
Even though Xu Ye has now left Wolf Warrior and can no longer lead Wolf Warrior to "fly".

However, from any perspective, development in the Wolf Warriors is much better than in the Iron Sixth Company.

If Lin Yanbin doesn't come to Wolf Warrior, he will most likely retire from the military in a few years.

In ordinary field units, without some stroke of luck, it's extremely difficult for a regular soldier to stay in the army for a long time!
Either you have a special skill and can take the route of sergeant major, or you can take the route of promotion to officer.

Of course, if you can pull some strings, that's a different story.

In He Chenliang's view, joining Wolf Warrior was the best choice for Lin Yanbin.

As for whether Lin Yanbin will pass the selection process?
If Lin Yanbin still doesn't have the ability after more than a year, then he should just retire.

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Xu Ye nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Yanbin's talent is slightly inferior to He Chenliang and Li Dabao.

However, in Xu Ye's view, the main reason he failed the last selection was that he hadn't put in enough effort.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late!

Fortunately, there is still a chance. As long as his attitude is correct, and following the training methods Xu Ye previously taught him, this year or so should be enough time for him to pass the selection for the Wolf Warriors.

Who knows, the Sixth Steel Company might give him a surprise—more than one person might be selected!

Then, Xu Ye realized that he was no longer the captain of the Wolf Warriors, and these things had little to do with him anymore. He was probably more relieved than anything else.
“Squad leader, let me tell you, over the past year or so…” He Chenliang then eagerly recounted everything he knew about Lin Yanbin.

As He Chenliang's best friend and brother in the Sixth Steel Company, the two have maintained close contact over the past year.

As for Lin Yanbin's contact with Xu Ye, perhaps out of shame or embarrassment, he only sends greetings on major holidays and otherwise avoids contacting Xu Ye.

Xu Ye could sense this.

Therefore, Xu Ye didn't know much about Lin Yanbin's situation over the past year.

By the time the car arrived in Kunming, Xu Ye had gained a more intuitive understanding from He Chenliang's description.

"Let's see later. If it's possible, let's go to the Sixth Steel Company together today—no, never mind, tomorrow. It's been a long time since we've been there," Xu Ye said with some emotion.

Having served in the military for more than two years, Xu Ye has experienced so much that he now has a sense of vicissitude.

"Go, we must go!" He Chenliang shouted immediately.

Normally, he communicated with Lin Yanbin and others either by phone or by letter, but they had never met in person.

After all, they weren't like Xu Ye, who had many "vacations" and could go wherever he wanted.

“It’s definitely time to go back and take a look!” Guan Baoping naturally wouldn’t object.

Compared to Xu Ye and He Chenliang, Guan Baoping has a deeper affection for the Sixth Steel Company, where most of his military memories and his closest comrades-in-arms are located.

For example, Ishizu!
"Xu Ye, pull over to the side of the road!" Guan Baoping called out.

There was a big supermarket there, and Guan Baoping was going down to buy some things. He couldn't go to the company commander's house empty-handed, could he?

"Squad leader, I have something in my vehicle!"

Xu Ye guessed Guan Baoping's intention and casually replied.

The trunk of this car has been almost always full lately, and it's all good stuff.

It wasn't Xu Ye who bought it!

how come?

Of course, it was his future mother-in-law who forced these things on Xu Ye—these things were basically brought by people who came to see their old leader, Secretary Han, which was normal in this era and didn't amount to much.

Of course, I would absolutely not accept money or overly expensive gifts.

Even so, this was after weeding out most of the people who weren't qualified to visit in person.

Otherwise, there would be too many.

“No, that won’t do. Your things are yours. I’m just buying them as a small token of my appreciation!” Guan Baoping refused.

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I'm an officer now, and my salary is much higher than my previous allowances, so I can afford this amount of money."

Before he was promoted to a higher rank, Guan Baoping didn't even dare to smoke the best cigarettes.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm too poor!
After all, most of the monthly allowance needs to be saved up and sent home once a large sum is accumulated.

As a soldier from a rural area, this is perfectly normal.

Rural areas are truly hard and poor these days, and that little bit of allowance could be a huge help.

"Squad leader, deputy squad leader, I want to buy one too!"

He Chenliang then spoke up, saying that he was now also an officer and that his allowance had been converted into a salary.

Moreover, since he didn't need to subsidize his family, all the money was at his personal disposal.

However, there's nowhere to spend money in the military camp, so you can only occasionally buy instant noodles or snacks to change things up.

As for smoking?

I used to have one occasionally.

However, after joining Wolf Warrior, even people like Guan Baoping gave up their habits, let alone him.

In Wolf Warrior, you can smoke, but you can't smoke.

"Fine!"

Xu Ye didn't say anything more and slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

About ten minutes later, the three of them came out of the mall carrying large and small bags.

Men are decisive when they buy things; they have a clear purpose and don't waste time wandering around.

"Xu Ye, your car is a bit conspicuous!"

Seeing a crowd of people pointing and whispering around the car, Guan Baoping joked.

"There's nothing we can do, they're just rich!" Xu Ye said casually.

you do not say!
Having ruled Iraq, a wealthy oil-producing country, for so many years, the exact extent of Saddam Hussein's wealth remains a mystery.

Guan Baoping smiled, unsure how to respond.

You can't ask!

Fortunately, the onlookers were just curious and kept a distance, so they didn't block the three of them's way and got into the car smoothly.

"By the way, we don't think we called the company commander, did we?"

Once they were in the car, He Chenliang gave a somewhat bewildered reminder.

"It'll be too late by the time you remember!" Xu Ye joked. "Don't worry, the company commander isn't on duty tonight!"

At Gao Jianjun's rank, he no longer needs to stay in the barracks 24 hours a day. In terms of time, he has much more freedom than when he was the company commander of the Sixth Steel Company.

"That's good, that's good!"

He Chenliang breathed a sigh of relief, while Guan Baoping, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. He would never ask such a "stupid question".

"But before that, let's go sit at my place for a while, and we'll go over when the company commander gets back soon," Xu Ye said, starting the car.

The three men, Gao Jianjun, hadn't arrived home yet, so it wasn't appropriate for them to go to their own place to familiarize themselves with the area.

If they come to Kunming in the future, they will have a place to stay.

"no problem!"

Guan Baoping nodded.

He knew more about interpersonal relationships than He Chenliang. "Squad leader, you bought a house in Chuncheng?" He Chenliang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Or else?"

Xu Ye said irritably, "If I weren't going to buy, would I be advising you to buy a house sooner?"

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I've bought houses not only in Kunming, but also in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and other cities."

"I used almost all of my money to buy a house."

"I am very optimistic about the future of our country's real estate market!"

Xu Ye isn't afraid to speak out about things that can withstand scrutiny; he's willing to let others know.

"You bought them all?"

He Chenliang said with some surprise.

Xu Ye's achievements are not only a great honor, but also of great value.

He Chenliang also deeply understands this point—the government in his hometown also gave rewards.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Xu Ye has a considerable amount of money.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ye used all of it to buy a house.

If Xu Ye's words in the morning led the two to decide to buy a house, then now, both He Chenliang and Guan Baoping are ready to make that decision a reality as soon as possible.

Xu Ye's judgment was absolutely correct!
"Don't worry, when you buy the house, just tell me how much you need," Xu Ye said with a smile.

"Squad leader, that's not what I meant. I was just a little surprised," He Chenliang quickly explained.

"I know!"

Xu Ye waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to explain, "I'll say it again, buy a house as soon as possible!"

"purchase!"

Guan Baoping slapped his thigh and said, "Xu Ye, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I might really need your help at that time!"

Xu Ye has brought this up more than once. If Guan Baoping still doesn't know what to do, then he's really stupid.

Judging from Xu Ye's words, future housing prices will definitely not be cheap.

Given their situation, if they hadn't bought it sooner, they might have had a chance.

Therefore, at this moment, Guan Baoping made up his mind completely.

"We absolutely can't be polite!" Xu Ye laughed heartily. "He Chenliang, what about you?"

"Class monitor, I want one too!"

He Chenliang replied with a smile, "The environment in Kunming is very nice, better than our hometown. When my parents retire, they can come here to live out their retirement."

"However, class monitor, my family is better off, so I won't trouble you with the money."

He Chenliang's family wasn't extremely wealthy, but both his parents had jobs and some savings, so buying a house in Chuncheng outright wouldn't be a problem.

“Okay, no problem!” Xu Ye naturally didn’t say anything more.

It was because of their relationship that Xu Ye would not have brought up borrowing money with anyone else.

Simply put, lending money is something that can easily damage relationships.

"arrive!"

Seeing the gate slowly opening in front of him, Xu Ye drove the car straight in.

"Squad leader, this is your home? It's so nice!" He Chenliang said in surprise.

The environment, the size, the technological feel...

I really want it!

“These are two houses. I bought them one after the other, and then combined them together.”

After getting out of the car, Xu Ye pointed to the house and introduced it.

During this period, people actually preferred apartments with elevators to older self-built houses.

"It's really good!" Guan Baoping exclaimed.

This new Chinese style of decoration is not mainstream in China today, or even rare, so it naturally gives people a refreshing feeling.

"Come on, let me show you around!"

At times like these, it's necessary to "show off" a little, and Xu Ye was no exception.

"If you ever come to Kunming in the future, just stay here. You can also help me increase my popularity."

After showing them around the guest room, Xu Ye said with a smile.

Although the sisters-in-law from the Gao and Wen families usually help tidy up the house, it still feels a bit lacking if no one lives there.

"Is this appropriate?"

After glancing at He Chenliang, who seemed ready to agree immediately, Guan Baoping spoke first.

During their tour of the house, they saw a lot of women's products. Considering that Xu Ye was already in a relationship, Guan Baoping felt it was a bit inappropriate.

"Why not? It's too big!"

"Don't worry, my partner is very understanding. I'll introduce you two later."

"I understand Guan Baoping's concerns," Xu Ye said with a smile.

Since there were two houses, one on the left and one on the right, and they weren't bought together, it was impossible to demolish and rebuild them directly. The guest rooms were all set up in the house that was bought later, so it didn't affect the side where Xu Ye lived.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you!"

Since Xu Ye had already said that, Guan Baoping didn't say anything more and agreed first.

Given their circumstances, how many times a year can they come to Kunming?
Therefore, he couldn't refuse Xu Ye's kindness outright, so he agreed first.

"This is right!"

Xu Ye nodded in satisfaction. "I'll give you the keys later. Come on, let's go watch TV and have some tea."

As for the basement and such, Xu Ye didn't take them to visit; instead, he took them directly to have tea.

Time always flies when you're chatting. When Gao Jianjun called to say he'd be home soon, the three of them realized it was already past 5 p.m.

"Let's go!"

Xu Ye casually turned off the background noise from the large rear projector screen—it was already the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and they were still replaying the Spring Festival Gala.

However, it must be said that the current Spring Festival Gala is indeed much better than the one in "Future".

However, no matter how beautiful it is, if you've watched it dozens of times across past and present lives, you'll eventually get tired of it.

He Chenliang, on the other hand, focused most of his attention on the TV and only occasionally chimed in.

Xu Ye was somewhat envious of this – after all, they're young!

Although he is not old in age, he is mentally quite old. Even if we don't consider both his past and present lives, he is at least in his early thirties.

And youth has one great advantage—happiness is really easy to achieve.

"I'll check when I get back. You can stay here tonight."

Xu Ye patted He Chenliang's head, who was reluctantly looking away from the TV, and gave him instructions.

"Shall we team up with the company commander and work through the night?" He Chenliang's eyes lit up.

Shall we have a long talk?
"As long as you're not afraid of messing things up in the old unit tomorrow, go ahead!" Xu Ye said with a hint of threat.

I have to go to the Sixth Steel Company tomorrow. I don't really care about myself, but He Chenliang said he'd like to show off a few skills.

"Uh, then let's forget about it!" He Chenliang touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
