"You're not skilled enough right now, and your mindset isn't right either. You'll just hold the team back."

That was said without any hesitation or nuance.

Upon hearing this, Meng Xue's face turned pale instantly.

She really wanted to prove herself.

I want to catch up with my sister, I want to join Mulan.

I want to not be a child who can only be taken care of in front of the people I care about.

That one sentence brought her back to reality.

For a moment, Meng Xue tightly pursed her lips, trying her best not to let her tears fall.

An Ran had initially frowned slightly, after all, the question "Can't I go with you?" sounded rather unpleasant.

But seeing Meng Xue's head hanging low, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Being able to stay and learn later is already an opportunity."

"If you learn from your sister, you'll probably be able to go on a mission next year."

Meng Xue looked up at An Ran and bit her lip.

She also knew that she was not capable enough.

At this moment, Chen Zheng added another sentence.

"I'm not taking you with me right now because I don't want to lose our potential talent for Mulan."

"To put it bluntly, if Mulan's entire army is wiped out one day, we will do everything in our power to get you out of here."

"You are our successor."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xue's nose suddenly stung with tears.

His tense shoulders slumped slightly.

I don't want to bring it, and I can't bring it now.

The two are quite different.

Meng Xue lowered her head and took a few deep breaths.

Then, he turned to look at Ram.

"Sister Ram, are you strict with your staff?"

Upon hearing this, Ram got excited.

"strict?"

"That's a very unprofessional question."

Do you know what my status is in the team?

"I need to get serious. Instructor... Captain... even your sister has to take a backseat!"

Meng Xue looked at Ram with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Really."

Ram patted his chest.

"Of course, if there's any trouble in the team, I can just glance at everyone and they all have to shut up immediately."

An Ran spoke slowly.

"But don't ask how the trouble came about."

Ram nearly fainted from anger.

"Sister Anran!"

Meng Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The atmosphere in the room had become much more relaxed.

Meng Xue also secretly glanced at Chen Zheng.

Her reddened eyes hadn't faded yet, but there was a hint of stubbornness in her gaze.

One day, I will have to stand in a position where Chen Zheng will nod in approval.

Let Chen Zheng say it himself: This person is hesitant!

Chen Zheng ignored her thoughts and continued to arrange important matters.

"Lamu was responsible for helping her get used to the basic rhythm of Mulan."

"In addition, you will also have access to some of the follow-up materials from the Tibet operation."

"Responsible for recording, organizing, and coordinating; ask questions if you don't understand."

Ram originally thought he was left behind to guard the house.

Upon hearing this, it became clear that the workload was considerable.

"Seriously? I also have to mentor new people and write reports?"

Chen Zheng rolled his eyes at Ram.

"Don't be idle, people tend to get complacent when they're idle."

Ram shrugged: "Fine."

Meng Xue stood ramrod straight and answered earnestly.

"I see."

Chen Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that things inside the house had been settled, Ram tugged at Meng Xue's sleeve.

"Let's go, our reserves."

"Let's go see the world together first."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xue glared at Ram.

"Who's the reserve? I'm the future flower of Mulan."

Ram rolled his eyes at her.

"Don't just spout off like that. Let me tell you, the instructor has to ask me first whether you're reliable or not."

The two bickered as they walked out.

As Ram walked to the door, he didn't forget to continue boasting about how amazing he was back then.

Meng Xue followed along with some skepticism, occasionally offering a comment.

Soon, their bickering faded into the distance.

An Ran stood there, watching the two figures from behind, and suddenly spoke softly.

"You've just added more burdens to Ram's load as well."

Chen Zheng picked up his thermos and took a sip of goji berry water.

"People can't be idle; if they are, they easily become complacent."

An Ran glanced at Chen Zheng and understood.

Chen Zheng was forcing Ram to calm down.

Only when people truly begin to lead others and manage affairs, and understand the importance of things, will they gradually develop a sense of proportion.

Without experiencing setbacks and poverty, one cannot truly grow into a mature person.

……

The following afternoon, at Mulan's training ground.

The afternoon sun was scorching.

With her hands on her hips, Ram shouted at the locker room door, "Hurry up and change! Today we'll show you the rules of Mulan. If you dawdle any longer, you won't get lunch."

A clear voice came from inside the door: "I know, Sister Ram, it'll be ready soon."

Hearing the response, Ram turned around with a smug look on his face and walked to the sandpit at the edge of the training field.

She casually kicked a small pebble away.

The pebble traced an arc in the air before crashing into the sandpit, raising a small cloud of dust.

Ram stared at the small sandpit, sighed deeply, and then ruffled her short hair.

The Golden Triangle.

The battlefield, oh the battlefield, the battlefield means military merit!

The instructors only took the team leaders with them.

She was left at the base to work as a full-time nanny, taking care of this girl who couldn't even hold a gun steadily.

After returning home yesterday, Ramu became increasingly angry.

I was one of the main force fighting in Tibet, but at the crucial moment, the instructor kept me on the bench.

In her mind, she is basically the same as Faker in S8.

As Ram thought about it, he gritted his teeth and threw a punch, slamming it into the wooden stake next to him.

"Stop taking your anger out on the wooden stakes. If you kick them and break them, we'll deduct it from your allowance."

A calm voice came from behind.

Ram turned around abruptly.

Chen Zheng was already standing ten steps away, holding a titanium alloy thermos in his hand, slowly twisting the lid.

Ram quickly put on a smiling face and jogged over to her.

"Instructor, what brings you here to inspect things?"

"Do you think this mission is dangerous and you need me to come along for backup?"

"Don't worry, just give the order, and I'll start packing right now!"

Chen Zheng took a sip of goji berry water, slightly raised his eyelids, and looked over: "Stop pretending. Just stay put and behave yourself."

Ram's fake smile froze instantly, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

The instructor had sharp eyes; in his presence, one couldn't hide any of their thoughts.

I might as well stop pretending!

Ram's smile faded, and she lowered her eyes: "Actually, I really can't figure it out."

"I know it's appropriate for the captain to go, but I just want to go."

"I can fight, and I'm willing to take risks, but why am I always just a little short when it comes to big matches?"

"So what exactly is the difference?"

As Ram spoke, her voice grew softer, and she kicked up the yellow earth beneath her feet.

Chen Zheng looked at Ram, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, and said directly, "You're fierce enough, you're daring enough, you're a qualified general."

"But he's not a great leader."

What you lack right now is to receive.

"Many people are able to send them out, but few are able to bring them back."
