I enlisted four times! My former unit blacklisted me.

Zhou Haibo led Wu Hanfeng toward the first-class prison cell.

Suddenly, Zhou Haibo stopped.

"Old Wu, I need to talk to you about something."

Seeing his incredibly serious expression, Wu Hanfeng's back door tightened involuntarily: "So serious? You're not going to confess your feelings to me, are you?"

Zhou Haibo: "..."

Wu Hanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, I'm not gay. So, what's up?"

Zhou Haibo glared at him, suppressed his anger, and said:

"Once we get to the classroom, you better put away your old soldier's cunning and stop trying to sabotage me."

"We can't let them know you know me. After all, you're a new recruit. I'm the squad leader; if you talk nonsense, it will affect my authority as squad leader. How can I manage the new recruits then?"

"Also, don't tell them you're a four-time enlistment veteran. What will the other recruits think if a seasoned veteran with four enlistments pops up in the recruit platoon?"

Wu Hanfeng nodded: "That makes sense, I understand. I'll be careful."

Zhou Haibo added, "Also, when other people are around, don't call me Haibo or Lao Zhou. Understand?"

"I understand. A man's pride must be respected in public."

Zhou Haibo: "???"

"Why does what you're saying sound so awkward?"

"Awkward? I think it's pretty normal."

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you anymore."

Zhou Haibo waved his hand, "One last thing. Although you're a new recruit, I know you can do everything. Those other new recruits in my platoon don't know anything. Could you help me train them when you have time?"

"You know better than I do about queues, housekeeping, and discipline. If you help me with some of that, I'll save myself some trouble."

Wu Hanfeng laughed and said, "Okay, no problem. I have experience training new recruits."

Zhou Haibo suddenly had a bad feeling: "What you're saying... it sounds to me like you're going to be the class monitor?"

"No way. You're the squad leader, and I'm just a new recruit. I'll definitely listen to you."

Zhou Haibo looked at him with some skepticism, "Alright, I'll believe you this time."

"Remember, don't call me Haibo. Call me class monitor."

"Okay, Hypo."

"..."

Soon, the two arrived at the first platoon of the first company of new recruits.

Pushing open the door, the eight new recruits who were chatting inside all stood up in unison.

Zhou Haibo smiled and said, "Come on, let me introduce you all. This is the new recruit, Wu Hanfeng."

All the new recruits' eyes fell on Wu Hanfeng.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw Wu Hanfeng's dark skin and somewhat aged appearance.

Wu Hanfeng chuckled and said, "I'm much older than you. I joined the army during college, and I'm 24 this year."

The new recruits were stunned when they heard this.

"24? That's so old! He's five or six years older than us!"

"Can I still enlist at 24?"

"Nonsense! They're already standing here; why would they be here if they couldn't enlist?"

"I heard that the age limit for college students can be relaxed to 24."

Zhou Haibo waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

Then, he began to introduce Wu Hanfeng, pointing to a lean young man with tanned skin and saying, "His name is Zhao Yihang, from Northeast China."

"The guy next to him who looks like a pretty boy is called Qian Kun, and he's from the south."

The other six recruits varied in height and build.

After the introductions, Zhou Haibo said, "Now, all the new recruits in our class are here."

"You don't need to be too nervous. The military is disciplined, but it's not a den of tigers."

"For the next three months in basic training, treat this place as your home, treat your comrades as your brothers, and live your lives in a down-to-earth manner."

Qian Kun asked in a low voice, "Class monitor, does our class have a vice class monitor?"

Zhou Haibo: "Not at the moment."

"However, in two weeks, our class will hold a small competition. Training performance, dormitory cleanliness, and drill discipline will all be considered for a combined score. Whoever performs the best will become the vice class monitor."

Upon hearing this, the new recruits immediately became somewhat expectant. After all, the deputy squad leader was also a manager. Even if the salary and benefits remained the same, at least in terms of authority, it would allow them to experience the thrill of being in a position of power, wouldn't it?

But Wu Hanfeng looked disdainful.

Except for his first year of enlistment, he was the deputy squad leader every year for the next few years.

Although his physical fitness wasn't great, he was good at housekeeping.

The deputy squad leader's responsibility is not to lead the soldiers in physical training, but to assist the squad leader in managing the squad's internal affairs, hygiene, and daily routines!

But once you become the deputy squad leader, you have to manage people, which is not only tiring, but you also have to watch the mood of the squad leader and company commander every day.

A thankless and arduous role!

This kind of arduous task can be done by whoever wants it.
