Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Long Xiaoyun, who was standing to the side, was also amused. She knew who the boss was here. Even if Wu Yiwen had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to mess with Chenglong.

Seeing that Jackie Chan didn't want to talk to this shrew, Long Xiaoyun stepped forward and spoke on his behalf: "You've said so much, may I ask what your job is?"

"who I am?"

Producer Joe proudly raised his head and said loudly, "Let me tell you, I'm the producer. You know what a producer is, right? Let me put it bluntly, I'm the boss."

"The boss?" Long Xiaoyun asked, confirming.

"Yeah, right." Producer Joe nodded, sounding very smug.

"Then let me introduce it to you."

Long Xiaoyun gestured to Jackie Chan, and said with a sly smile, "The man in front of you, the Three Beans, is the commander of the First Division, the superior of Deputy Commander Wu, Commander Cheng."

Are Four Beans subordinate to Three Beans?

Producer Joe's CPU almost burned out on the spot, but luckily he's in the entertainment industry, so he not only has very high emotional intelligence, but also a very thick skin.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Producer Joe realized what was happening.

He slapped his thigh in surprise and said, "Oh my, I was wondering where the commander was. So he's here. It's so rare to find a commander this young."

"Commander Cheng, although I've never met you before and made a little fool of myself, I've long heard of your great reputation. Meeting you today, I can confirm your extraordinary bearing, imposing stature, and unrestrained spirit—truly a hero reborn as Lü Bu! Fantastic!"

Producer Joe launched into a barrage of praise, completely forgetting what he had said just seconds before; his skin was thicker than a rhinoceros's.

Jackie Chan is speechless about this kind of person!

Producer Qiao's mouth was like a floodgate that had been opened, and he continued to speak rapidly: "When I came from headquarters, you should know that Deputy Minister Xiao and Deputy Political Commissar Tian of the military region, right?"

They all asked me to pass on their greetings to you, saying you are a pride of the military and have a bright future.

To be honest, I came here specifically for you, but I couldn't find you, so I had no choice but to go find that Commander Wu, oh no, I mean Deputy Commander Wu.

Honestly, how about this: let's find a place to have a good talk and communicate properly. We can discuss the cost; you can just mention it.

"We need the military's help to film this movie. We'll cut corners wherever we can in other areas, but we absolutely won't skimp on the military aspect."

Producer Qiao truly lives up to her reputation as a big sister in the industry; her flattery was incredibly smooth, and she was also very straightforward in making her final demands.

Jackie Chan was indeed very popular before he came. If he hadn't become a teacher and had to be mindful of his image, he wouldn't have been able to act recklessly.

Everyone should give him a good beating.

However, after hearing what Producer Joe said, especially the last sentence, "Just name your price," Jackie Chan immediately had an idea.

He looked at Long Xiaoyun and found that she was also looking at him, her eyes sparkling.

The two looked at each other, confirming that they were both thinking of the same thing.

Just this one second.

The two reached a consensus very tacitly through eye contact alone.

Just then.

Gui Pingyuan, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, ran up to Chen Long and said in a fake manner, "Commander, what brings you here?"

"Section Chief Gui, I was just about to look for you. Did you arrange the filming?" Jackie Chan asked seriously.

Although Jackie Chan already had a small idea and was preparing to take this opportunity to address the issue of the expansion fee, he absolutely could not show his face as a senior colleague.

In order to successfully receive the payment in the end, Jackie Chan had to maintain a commanding presence.

"Yes, I made the specific arrangements." Gui Pingyuan couldn't withstand Jackie Chan's aura, his voice weakened, and he answered cautiously.

"Are you out of your mind? What time is it? You still have the energy to act?" Jackie Chan berated him harshly.

Gui Pingyuan himself was starting to feel the pressure, so he immediately pulled some men out to shift the focus of the attack, saying, "Commander Cheng, Deputy Commander Wu is here. He's at the regimental headquarters right now and says he wants to see you."

Jackie Chan was originally planning to leave, leaving the rest of the money-making business to Long Xiaoyun.

Long Xiaoyun is more suitable than him to handle the price negotiation.

Gui Pingyuan shrugged off Deputy Division Commander Wu, and Cheng Long chimed in, "You can go now. Tell him to wait for me at the regimental headquarters for a bit. I'll be there shortly."

"Yes."

Gui Pingyuan turned and left.

"Producer, you're absolutely right. We're definitely not on the same level. Captain Long, I'm officially authorizing you now. You can discuss the specifics with her."

Jackie Chan deliberately made sarcastic remarks about Producer Joe, putting Producer Joe in a very awkward position.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Long Xiaoyun readily agreed and waved to Producer Qiao, saying, "Boss Qiao, come on, I'll take you somewhere to talk things over."

"Okay, all right."

After being teased by Jackie Chan, Producer Qiao became obedient and immediately responded, scurrying off after Long Xiaoyun.

"If I don't take hundreds of thousands from you, I'll be letting down the show I put on today."

Jackie Chan chuckled to himself. After Long Xiaoyun and Producer Qiao had walked away, he looked up and shouted, "Bourdaf, come here right now!"

"Yes, sir."

Still in a daze, Boldav ran up to Jackie Chan in a flash.

"I order you to deliver the generator set that the engineering battalion towed over to the information battalion within half an hour to ensure their power supply," Jackie Chan ordered.

Boldav was simply following orders, and even though his armored battalion was messing around, Jackie Chan didn't blame him.

"Yes, I guarantee it will be completed."

Boldav readily accepted the order, but the next second he started complaining again, refusing to take the blame and determined to shift the blame.

"Commander, you know, isn't Guiping just playing with people? He said this was arranged by the division commander, which means he was talking about you, right? Who knew he would mess things up like this."

They also said that for every day we filmed, the crew would subsidize each soldier with ten yuan, plus additional charges for venue usage.

Our brigade didn't keep a single penny; it all went to improving the soldiers' meals. The training intensity has been high recently, so keeping up with nutrition is very important. I have already arranged for each battalion to raise the food standards.

Now it's even worse; filming is more tiring than training. They only get two days' worth of food in one day, and for just ten yuan a day, the production team has to subsidize it. It's outrageous!

Bourdaf was a fat man with a big face, who looked simple-minded and not very bright.

In fact, he's smarter than a monkey.

With this aggrieved explanation, Boldav successfully portrayed himself as the victim, shifting all the blame onto Boldav.

"Alright, I know this isn't your fault."

Jackie Chan did not blame Boldav, after all, the battalion commander could only obey the orders of the division headquarters.

The real culprit is someone else.

It's highly likely that it's Wu Yiwen.

Previously, Jackie Chan and Political Commissar Lu came out to resolve the conflict and arranged for Wu Yiwen, the deputy division commander, to stay at home to take charge of the overall situation, as only he could represent the division headquarters to issue orders.

Now Jackie Chan is going to find Wu Yiwen and ask him why, as a deputy division commander, he didn't notify the division commander before issuing the order when such a big thing happened.

"Commander, Gui Pingyuan is truly despicable. You're in a difficult position. You were there when the commander was being sent to the helicopter that day, so you must have seen it too. It seems like he has an unusual relationship with the deputy commander."

Boldav paused here, looked around comically, and whispered, "If you ask me, you'd better take it easy. That's a matter of the military region."

"hehe."

Jackie Chan didn't get to where he is today by currying favor with the powerful or currying favor with the wealthy; he got there through his own hard work. He sneered and said sarcastically, "So what if you have connections in the military region? Even if you know someone in the military region, or even if it's the deputy commander's own son, it won't make a difference to me."

Jackie Chan finished speaking in a very domineering manner, turned around and left, leaving Bauerdaff with eyes full of admiration.

A man who is not afraid of authority deserves everyone's admiration.

Jackie Chan left the training ground by car and drove straight to the regimental headquarters. He strode into the reception room, where Wu Yiwen was indeed sitting.

"Commander Cheng."

Wu Yiwen stood up and took the initiative to greet him; he has always done an excellent job of putting on a show.

"Deputy Division Commander Wu, did you give the order to have the armored battalion help the TV station film a movie?" Jackie Chan asked bluntly.

"Yes, I arranged it."

Wu Yiwen knew he couldn't hide it, so he didn't lie and readily admitted it.

"How could you arrange it like this? Our First Division isn't a cultural troupe. We have a very difficult mission right now, where would we find so much time?"

Jackie Chan showed no mercy and berated Wu Yiwen harshly.

The core issue isn't that he can't find the time to film, but rather Wu Yiwen's attitude towards work. He needs to be made aware of who's in charge here.

Otherwise, if there's a first time, there will be a second, and he won't respect his teachers anymore.

The division commander was unaware of the troop movement.

This is outrageous!

"Don't rush, take a look at this."

Wu Yiwen didn't dare to talk back when Jackie Chan scolded him, and handed over an unopened letter.

In the military, the position is considered first, and then the rank.

A three-star colonel is higher in rank than a four-star deputy division commander.

Jackie Chan knew there was no good news inside. He frowned, took the envelope, tore it open, took out the letter, and quickly read it.

"Commander Cheng, I originally wanted to report this matter to you first, but you've been busy dealing with the information brigade and haven't returned to headquarters. I can't reach you by phone either. And since this matter is quite urgent, I can only handle it for you for now."

While Jackie Chan was reading the letter, Wu Yiwen took the opportunity to offer an explanation.

"What right do you have to handle this for me? Am I the division commander, or are you? Should I report to the deputy commander and have you become the division commander instead?"

The letter contained high-sounding words, which Jackie Chan hated to read. Wu Yiwen then jumped out on his own, and Jackie Chan immediately retorted with a barrage of questions.

A higher rank can crush a person.

Colonel Wu Yiwen, who was in his forties, was scolded by Jackie Chan, who was in his thirties. He was very unhappy, but he had no way to refute her.

A deputy division commander is a deputy division commander; overstepping the bounds is overstepping the bounds.

Even Wu Yiwen was so embarrassed by the rebuttal that he couldn't utter a single word. Jackie Chan's anger had subsided, and he softened his tone, saying, "At the Standing Committee meeting, you raised so many questions by yourself. You should know how precious our time is right now."

"If all that time is spent accompanying them to film TV dramas, how are we supposed to conduct our training? When the military inspection team comes to check on us, are you going to let them see Qing Dynasty soldiers with long braids?"

Jackie Chan stopped focusing on the division commander's orders and changed the subject, giving Wu Yiwen something to say.

"I know this is a very difficult matter, but this letter wasn't just written to you, it was also written to me. The writer is Elder Tian from the military region; he's a former leader of our region. Since he asked for this, how could we not give him face?"

Wu Yiwen was talking about interpersonal relationships and social customs, something Jackie Chan finds extremely annoying, but being born on this land means you have to accept this kind of culture.

Even though he has retired, Tian Lao, as a former senior leader of the military region, still retains his prestige.

Jackie Chan really couldn't just give in.

Fortunately, Jackie Chan is only playing along for the sake of it; he has already agreed to the matter in his heart, so he is not in a difficult position.

Otherwise it would be really difficult to handle!

Kris Wu was unaware of Jackie Chan's ulterior motives; he was already planning to treat the TV production team like a fat pig, squeezing them dry.

He continued to comfort Jackie Chan, saying, "Besides, our troops didn't work for nothing."

In his letter, Mr. Tian specifically emphasized that fees must be collected in accordance with regulations, and that no exceptions should be made.

Let me tell you, the generator for the engineering brigade costs eight hundred yuan a day to rent.

"After two months of filming, the two generators will generate nearly 100,000 yuan. We're short of money right now, so this is like sending charcoal in snowy weather."

"Will it take two months to film?"

Jackie Chan feigned surprise, widening his eyes, but inside he was overjoyed.

This pig.

He's determined to kill him.

Wu Yiwen thought Jackie Chan was strongly opposed, so he quickly and kindly persuaded him, "Two months isn't a long time. If you factor in other expenses, you'll have enough for training."

"You can forget about the generator. I've already had Boldav send it back to the Information Brigade. If you want electricity... figure it out yourself."

Jackie Chan pretended to be persuaded, and his tightly closed mouth loosened slightly.

Seeing that his persuasion was working, Wu Yiwen quickly said, "The engineering battalion has already signed a lease agreement with them. If you take the generator away, isn't that a breach of contract? The compensation amount will be substantial."

"That's nonsense. Who signed the contract? Even I, as the division commander, didn't sign it. Is the contract valid? Why should I pay compensation if there's no valid contract?" Jackie Chan said with a straight face.

"Well……"

Wu Yiwen was rendered speechless once again by the rebuttal.

Since he signed the contract, it seems that according to Jackie Chan, it was indeed invalid.

This is similar to a company signing a contract. If the boss doesn't sign it, and an employee signs it on his behalf, it certainly has no legal effect.

Thinking that he wouldn't have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract, Wu Yiwen relaxed a bit.

He changed the subject, saying, "But, Commander Cheng, do you know who this Producer Qiao is? I heard she's Old Tian's goddaughter."

"I'll say it again: it's not acceptable to have a goddaughter, not even a biological daughter. Rules are rules, and the money owed must not be less than a penny."

Jackie Chan deliberately loosened his stance again.

When Wu Yiwen heard Jackie Chan start talking about money, he knew the deal was done. His tense nerves relaxed completely, and he said with a smile, "I certainly understand the rules, but we can't be too rigid, right?"

I'm handling this way for your own good. If I really drive away the other characters' storylines, you'll be the one who suffers.

after all……"

Wu Yiwen changed his tone and said meaningfully, "Jackie Chan, I know you are young and energetic, and you look down on many things."

But putting work aside, let me give you a heads-up as a brother.

Although Mr. Tian has retired from his position as political commissar, we should respect him even more, especially the tasks he assigns us, which we should take even more seriously.

Haven't you heard? The first thing a new officer in our unit has to do upon taking office is to personally visit the old leaders and comrades.

There are profound implications here. I know you're capable and decisive, but you still need to be careful.
