He is two meters and five centimeters tall. Who made him a soldier?

Chapter 14: Checking the Package (Please Collect)

"Okay, go ahead and take the photo."

"Okay, thank you, monitor."

After getting permission, the company duty officer took out his camera and took pictures of the new recruits making phone calls to their families.

Of course, the camera deliberately avoided Lu Qinglong, after all, he did look a bit scary.

If this is sent out, within half a day the entire training brigade will know about this weirdo, which will have a bad impact on their company.

"Thank you, monitor. I'm leaving now."

After taking the photos, Lian, the duty officer, greeted Chen Ting again and then left the classroom, carefully closing the door.

After a while, the recruits reported the situation to their families one after another, and Chen Ting asked Lu Qinglong to collect the mobile phones of all the recruits.

The recruits looked at Lu Qinglong's sturdy physique and tactfully turned off their cell phones and handed them to him.

After all, before all of them came to the army, they had more or less watched some popular science videos, saying that in the recruit company, they were generally issued mobile phones only once a month.

"I'll keep your phone for you for now, and then I'll hand it over to the team headquarters for unified safekeeping."

"The specific time for issuing mobile phones to the recruit company is determined by the political instructor of the recruit company."

Chen Ting put away his phone. Perhaps because he was afraid that Lu Qinglong would scare people when he went to the team headquarters, he pointed at Ji Baichang who was closest to the door.

"Go and hand over the phone to the team headquarters."

"Okay monitor."

Ji Baichang was very efficient. He took his phone and walked out of the classroom. He came back after a while and reported to Chen Ting that he had handed in the phone.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"From now on, the rest of you should learn from him. Before you go out, and after I ask you to do something, you should come to me to report."

"Understood, squad leader."

The other recruits nodded in response.

"Okay, the rest of you, go get the bags from the baggage warehouse and put them in a row on the ground."

"Don't try to hide anything. I'll go check the baggage storage later."

Chen Ting pointed to the open space in the middle.

Some of the new recruits had originally planned to hide things, but after listening to Chen Ting's words, they seemed to realize that their little tricks were completely insignificant in front of this old soldier.

After a while, the recruits took out their black bags from the bag storage one after another and placed them on the ground in order.

"Everyone stand behind your bag, I'll start counting."

"Shall we start with you?"

"Open the bag yourself and take things out one by one."

Class monitor Chen Ting sat on his bed without moving, and pointed at Ji Baichang who was standing in the first position.

"Okay monitor."

Ji Baichang nodded, and then began to take things out of his black bag one by one.

Compared with the black bags of other recruits, Ji Bai's black bag is relatively bulging.

A set of camouflage uniforms issued by the armed forces, two bottles of shampoo and shower gel, and then a set of casual clothes for summer wear.

After taking out these things, half of his black bag was still bulging.

"Squad leader, there is no place to play basketball in our army?"

Ji Baichang asked as he took out a pair of red and white basketball shoes from his black bag.

"You can play basketball? There are places to play basketball in the army. If you are good at basketball, you will be very popular in the army."

Squad leader Chen Ting looked at Ji Baichang and nodded. After the three months of the new recruit company, the soldiers will be divided into combat units. After they are assigned to combat units, their basketball skills will not be very useful.

However, if you are assigned to a military compound or a government agency, if you know how to play basketball, you can quickly build good relationships with some of the leaders there, which will be of great benefit for your future.

As a veteran with 16 years of service, he has seen many people who were promoted because of their meritorious service in playing ball with their superiors.

So being able to play basketball is quite popular.

"Huh? Why do these basketball shoes look so much like the ones signed by Jordan? There are even words on them?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right? That pair of basketball shoes is limited to only ten pairs worldwide, and each pair costs hundreds of thousands. How can it be authentic?"

"That's true."

The two recruits standing by seemed to be quite knowledgeable about basketball shoes. When they saw Ji Baichang's shoes, they murmured in a low voice.

Squad leader Chen Ting heard the two people's whispering and frowned, but didn't say much.

After all, it was only their first day in the army, and they had not yet been taught the principle of not talking casually in the queue.

"Squad leader, can I go out and get something?"

Ji Baichang looked at squad leader Chen Ting and asked tentatively.

However, as he asked the question, some hesitation was clearly visible on his face.

"Take it, until your bag is empty."

"Okay monitor."

Ji Baichang nodded, reached into the bag with his right hand again, fumbled around briefly, and then took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills tied with a white bandage.

Judging from the thickness, one stack might be worth 10,000 yuan.

He took out a total of twenty stacks like this one.

Two mountains made of cash were placed on the ground, which stunned the other recruits.

"No, are you here to make a joke with me? What the hell do you carry so much cash for?"

Squad leader Chen Ting suddenly stood up from the bed with a look of confusion on his face.

Is there really anyone who can bring 200,000 yuan in cash to spend in the army?
I thought it was outrageous enough that last year's recruits were found to have whistles in their bags and blew them twice in the middle of the night.

If someone really brings something as ridiculous as cash, isn't that clearly creating problems for him?

"Sergeant, I know that now the army uses mobile phones to pay for things, but my parents insisted that I bring it with me, saying that it would be used in emergencies or something like that."

"Maybe they asked the butler to stuff it in when they were packing my luggage. I didn't know about it until I got on the train."

Ji Baichang scratched his head and explained awkwardly.

He didn't mean to cause trouble. Who would be a good person to join the army and bring 200,000 yuan in cash?

This is more than the two-year retirement pay for a conscript in an ordinary area.

"Okay, then you can leave the money at the company headquarters first. When you find a chance to go out, deposit the money into the card yourself. Don't lose it."

Squad leader Chen Ting looked at Ji Baichang and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded and motioned for him to continue getting the things outside.

Ji Baichang nodded, then took out two large strips of cigarettes and handed them to the squad leader Chen Ting.

"Squad leader, I personally don't smoke. I guess my parents asked the housekeeper to put these two big cigarettes in your bag for you to smoke."

"You can either accept it or not..."

"Please send the cigarettes back. I have quit smoking for several years."

Before Ji Baichang could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by the squad leader Chen Ting.

You can tell from the look in his eyes that he has definitely experienced a lot of similar things.
