Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 778 Give him the position of company commander!

"Company Commander, Happy New Year!" *3
At the gate, the three greeted Gao Jianjun as he got out of the car.

Happy New Year! Happy New Year!

Gao Jianjun smiled even more broadly, "Come on, Baoping, Chenliang, here's a New Year's red envelope for each of you."

"Xu Ye already gave it to me, so I won't give it to him again!"

None of the three were married, so as the old company commander and elder brother, he naturally received a red envelope.

Back when we were in the same company, we naturally couldn't give it to each other, but now we have to.

"Thank you, Company Commander!"

The two didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the money directly. Xu Ye awkwardly withdrew his outstretched hand.

If you give it to him, he won't mind taking another one!

I don't care how much money he has, because none of us are as rich as him anyway. What I care about is his deep concern and blessings.

"Let's go, get in the car!"

Without further ado, Gao Jianjun got straight to the point.

At other times, it would definitely be at Xu Ye's place, since it's the most suitable place for a gathering.

But today, I have to go to his house.

"You two ride in the company commander's car, and I'll follow behind in my own car," Xu Ye quickly said.

The things they bought are still in their own car. If they take them to Gao Jianjun's car now, the company commander will definitely not allow them to take them.

"How many times have I told you not to buy anything, not to buy anything, but not one of you listened!" Gao Jianjun said helplessly, knowing full well what he meant.

Xu Ye's things, once accepted, are accepted.

Gao Jianjun has come to terms with it now, because Xu Ye already has these things and doesn't need them; he would get angry if he didn't accept them.

However, Guan Baoping and He Chenliang, especially Guan Baoping, were in worse financial condition, and Gao Jianjun didn't want him to waste money.

Seeing that they just chuckled and didn't say anything, Gao Jianjun was speechless: "Alright, hurry up and get in the car!"

"Yes, company commander!"

Guan Baoping and He Chenliang quickly said something, while Xu Ye ran into the yard to get his Hummer.

Two hours later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and Xixi was taken to her bedroom by her mother to sleep, leaving the four men to drink tea in the living room.

We should have continued drinking at this point.

Of those present, apart from He Chenliang who couldn't hold his liquor, the other three were all heavy drinkers, especially Xu Ye, who could get Da Maozi drunk even without cheating.

However, since everyone had things to do tomorrow, they didn't drink much and only had a small sip.

"Indeed, you should go back and take a look."

When Gao Jianjun learned that they were going to visit the Sixth Steel Company the next day, he nodded in agreement.

"I have to go back to my unit early tomorrow morning, so I won't be going this time."

Gao Jianjun wasn't on duty tonight, and he doesn't live far away, so he was able to get back.

But I have to rush back first thing tomorrow morning.

Ask for leave?

In the past, that wouldn't have been a problem.

However, it is still during the Spring Festival, so he cannot take leave too often and must also give others the opportunity to take leave.

Most importantly, unlike the other three, Gao Jianjun of the Sixth Steel Company went back often.

Why go back?

Visiting friends was just a side trip; the main purpose was to select promising candidates for their division's reconnaissance battalion.

Because of Xu Ye, his training methods were implemented most thoroughly in the 901st Regiment, resulting in the most achievements and naturally leading to a surge in promising young talents.

Just like a school, the most important thing for a high college entrance rate is that the quality of the students must be good.

If their division's reconnaissance battalion wants to go further, besides tapping into its own potential, the most direct way is to recruit a group of outstanding new talents to fundamentally change the situation.

So every now and then, Gao Jianjun would go to the 901st Regiment to "stroll around," and he would definitely not miss the old company, the Iron Sixth Company.

I must say, Zhang Rupei, who took over as company commander, is actually quite good.

Although they weren't as impressive as Xu Ye, they did a good job maintaining their position. They didn't embarrass the Iron Sixth Company in last year's competition, retaining first place and successfully defending their title.

"By the way, after you get there, find a chance to persuade that kid Shi Jin to come to the Division Reconnaissance Battalion," Gao Jianjun added.

“Especially you, Xu Ye, Shi Jin listens to you more now,” Gao Jianjun said with a hint of bitterness in his voice.

You should know that Ishizu used to be his trusted confidant and favorite general.

"Company commander, what do you mean?"

Xu Ye didn't immediately agree, but seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yes, it's what you think."

Looking at Guan Baoping and He Chenliang, who were still somewhat bewildered, Gao Jianjun sighed inwardly that it was still easier to talk to smart people.

If you just say a little bit, people will understand.

Unlike these two, they still haven't realized it!

"The Sixth Steel Company is being watched by many people right now. Although you and I are involved, they won't go too far."

"However, it will be difficult for Guan Baoping to make further progress in the short term!"

Seeing Guan Baoping scratching his head in frustration, Gao Jianjun had no choice but to be direct.

Unlike Gao Jianjun back then, others did not want to go to the best company, but instead chose an average or even a worse company.

Therefore, in the eyes of some people, the current Sixth Steel Company is a good place to gild their reputation.

Furthermore, this would also allow him to establish connections with Gao Jianjun and Xu Ye.

Anyone with a brain knows that Gao Jianjun and Xu Ye have bright futures, especially Xu Ye, whose future is limitless.

Therefore, if you want to build relationships, it's best to do so as early as possible.

This is precisely why the minimum requirement for the newcomer's ability is guaranteed: they are not expected to be ambitious, but they must be able to maintain the status quo.

Otherwise, if we lead the Sixth Steel Company into a ditch, it won't be a friendly gesture, but a complete offense.

This was also an important reason why Gao Jianjun was able to tolerate Zhang Rupei's parachuting in.

While you may have the credentials, your abilities can't be lacking!

This has been proven by facts. As long as the rules and regulations are strictly followed, maintaining the strong competitiveness of the Sixth Steel Company is not a problem.

In this respect, Zhang Rupei was clearly a smart man.

"Okay, I'll take care of this!" Xu Ye agreed.

However, Xu Ye knew that there were some things Gao Jianjun might not have said: Shi Jin was not only unlikely to be promoted, but his position might also be coveted by others.

After all, there are only three platoon leaders in total, so the positions are limited!

"And I!"

Guan Baoping, finally understanding what was going on, continued.

He Chenliang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He was the junior, so he had no right to speak!
"Alright, with your persuasion, Shi Jin should listen." Gao Jianjun also breathed a sigh of relief. "To put it simply, when the time comes, the company commander will definitely receive some recognition."

As the most convenient and worry-free subordinate, Shi Jin was undoubtedly very much to Gao Jianjun's liking.

Moreover, he is quite capable; he would be more than qualified to be a company commander.

"Company Commander, congratulations!" Xu Ye said with a smile.

"You little rascal, you think you're so smart!" Gao Jianjun said helplessly. "It's not even close to being settled yet, so don't go around saying anything!"

Gao Jianjun was truly impressed that Xu Ye had guessed his intentions so quickly, without him saying a word.

"I promise I won't say anything!" Xu Ye said with a grin.

"Ah!" Guan Baoping and He Chenliang exclaimed in unison, only then realizing what had happened.

"Company Commander, congratulations!"

"Company Commander, congratulations!"

After realizing what was happening, the two quickly offered their congratulations.

Congratulations for what?
Congratulations to Gao Jianjun on his promotion from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander. Gao Jianjun neither confirmed nor denied it, and that was enough.

Is it fast?

For the average person, that would be fast; they could get promoted on time. How could such treatment be the treatment of an average person?

However, considering Gao Jianjun's own abilities and family background, this is quite normal.

Actually, there were signs of this long ago. With the position of deputy battalion commander, he was acting as a battalion commander. Need I say more?

This is simply a natural consequence.

The conversation went on until after 11 p.m. If everyone has something to do tomorrow, they could really stay up all night.

"Xu Ye, don't forget, you must come to our division's reconnaissance battalion when you have time!"

As Gao Jianjun saw Xu Ye downstairs, he made sure to give him some more instructions.

That's why Xu Ye didn't feel any resentment at all about Gao Jianjun being promoted to battalion commander.

Not only because Gao Jianjun was his old company commander and one of his own, but also because Gao Jianjun was not there to gain prestige, but to get things done and to do real work. In order for the division's reconnaissance battalion to develop better, he did not hesitate to lower himself to "beg" his former subordinate.

It would be strange if someone like that, with ability, shrewdness, and connections, didn't get promoted!

fair?

After the college entrance examination, the word "fairness" no longer exists in this world.

"Company Commander, this is the eighteenth time you've done this. I'll definitely go check it out when I have time," Xu Ye said helplessly.

From the first time he saw me when I returned to Chuncheng until the time I just left, it has been a full eighteen times!

"Really? Have I said it that many times?" Gao Jianjun wasn't embarrassed at all, pretending that he didn't remember.

"Alright, keep thinking about it. We're off! Goodbye, Company Commander!"

After saying that, Xu Ye quickly walked towards the Hummer, afraid that he would say it for the nineteenth time.

Guan Baoping and He Chenliang, who were carrying things in their hands, said "goodbye" and quickly followed.

"Sigh, do you think it's easy for me?"

Gao Jianjun rubbed his face and sighed.

As long as Xu Ye is willing to come, Gao Jianjun will say it even if it's done 180 times, let alone 18.

Ashamed?

He was more afraid of losing face in front of Xu Ye than of the division's reconnaissance battalion losing face during the military region's grand competition.

At that time, it won't just be his own face and the face of the division's reconnaissance battalion that will be lost, but also his father's face.

Back in the 901st Regiment, everyone knew his father, let alone now. In the entire military region, who among the prominent figures doesn't know him?

Therefore, Gao Jianjun is under a lot of pressure!

"Squad leader, let's just borrow these things and leave them at your house later?"

At Guan Baoping's prompting, He Chenliang cleared his throat and spoke with a smile.

Previously, when they were shopping at the mall, they were unable to buy anything for Xu Ye because he was with them.

So, he decided to use the gifts Gao Jianjun had just given to the two of them as a gift to Xu Ye.

"Say it again?"

Xu Ye said irritably, "That's the company commander and his wife's kind gesture, you can accept it."

"Whether you take it back and divide it up, or send it home when you have time, I will not accept it."

After a pause, Xu Ye added, "As you can see, I don't lack anything."

"Besides, I'll be going back to my unit soon, so I won't be able to use it then."

Xu Ye tentatively scheduled his return to the Air Force Division for the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. After the fifteenth, the New Year would be almost over, and Xu Ye would have rested enough for the time being to go back.

If conditions permit, Xu Ye wants to fly to Beijing to spend the Lantern Festival with Han Ziqing, so that the New Year can be considered to have a proper ending.

After all, we don't know if we'll have such an opportunity again in the future.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Guan Baoping sighed inwardly and spoke.

"That's more like it. There's no need for formalities between us. When we go back, I'll bring you some more things to share." Xu Ye said with some satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Guan Baoping and He Chenliang exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say, and could only nod.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

When Guan Baoping and He Chenliang got up and came to the yard, they saw Xu Ye doing a quick one-arm two-finger push-up.

"Xu Ye, I really envy you!"

Even though this wasn't the first time he'd seen it, Guan Baoping still couldn't hide his envy.

He can also do one-handed push-ups.

However, it wasn't as fast as Xu Ye's.

However, he really can't do a push-up with one arm and two fingers.

Let alone him, in the entire Wolf Warrior team, only a few people can do it, and even among those who can, there are only a handful. There is none as easy and fast as Xu Ye.

Moreover, Guan Baoping knew that this was far from Xu Ye's limit.

On one occasion, Xu Ye performed a handstand push-up with one arm and one finger for them!
Unless everyone is hallucinating, then it's real.

Is this something a human can do?

However, Xu Ye insisted that he did it easily.

"Don't envy me, just be yourself, deputy squad leader!"

Without stopping, Xu Ye looked up at them and casually replied.

While there are certainly systemic factors involved, most of it is the result of his gradual accumulation of knowledge and skills.

"Oh, right, breakfast is ready. You guys eat first, don't wait for me!" Xu Ye added.

It wasn't that the two of them woke up late; it was only before six o'clock. It was Xu Ye who woke up too early.

"Squad leader, then I won't stand on ceremony!" Upon hearing this, He Chenliang immediately ran over.

The meals cooked by the class monitor were so delicious that he could never get enough of them, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but He Chenliang felt that they tasted better each time.

This wasn't just his imagination; with each meal, Xu Ye's cooking skills improved a little, and the taste naturally became a little better as well.

"Squad leader, you go too, I'll be done soon!"

Xu Ye let out a breath, switched hands, and continued.

"Row!"

Guan Baoping gave up his desire to continue exercising: he felt discouraged.

Before I knew it, I no longer even had the right to look up to them, and I couldn't even see their shadow anymore.

Half an hour later, Xu Ye finished eating. Before Xu Ye could get up, He Chenliang quickly took the food to the kitchen, and Xu Ye didn't insist.

"Squad leader, I have everything I need, no need to buy more. We don't need to be so particular," Xu Ye said to Guan Baoping beside him. "It'll just expire anyway, we'll have to throw it away eventually!"

While Xu Ye was eating, Guan Baoping said that the two of them were going to buy some things to take over and share with everyone.
