Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Wu Yiwen is too scheming and has a strong sense of self-interest in everything he does.

However, there is some truth to what he said to Jackie Chan. If you want to rise through the ranks in the military, there are certain rules you have to follow.

after all.

I'm not afraid of not being good enough; I'm afraid of someone tripping me up.

Especially in the military, which places great emphasis on seniority, the older generation who have retired from higher positions have formidable experience and are indeed capable of doing many unconventional things.

Therefore, Jackie Chan did not refute Wu Yiwen's subsequent remarks.

That's tantamount to tacit agreement.

Seeing that Jackie Chan's attitude had softened, Wu Yiwen immediately brought the matter back to the film crew.

"The TV series has already started filming. If you force it to stop, not to mention the economic losses, the external impact will also be negative."

If things get out of hand, the higher-ups will have to give an explanation, which will definitely be detrimental to you, since you've only just become a teacher and are easily criticized.

"How about we send the generator over and get the TV series filming started? We can discuss other things later."

Wu Yiwen keeps saying he's doing it for Jackie Chan's own good, but he's actually doing it for his own. After all, it was Jackie Chan who signed the document, so if things go wrong, he'll be primarily responsible.

"Deputy Division Commander Wu, you've thought this through very well. Thank you for reminding me. I'll reconsider this matter."

Jackie Chan had already decided to kill the pig, but deliberately didn't agree directly. This way, he could give Wu Yiwen face and also better demonstrate his authority as a mentor.

"Alright, it would be best to come up with a solution that benefits both sides and doesn't hurt either, but..."

Wu Yiwen stopped mid-sentence and then laughed, "In my opinion, this matter is a dead end, very difficult to untie, and we can only make selective choices."

"I'm too slow-witted to think of a good solution, so I can only trouble you, Master Cheng."

Wu Yiwen was afraid that the heavy responsibility would fall on his shoulders, so he first put a high hat on Cheng Longtou. This kind of cunning is something that ordinary people can't do.

"I'll figure out a solution, maybe in the next couple of days."

Jackie Chan was confident but did not agree immediately, deliberately leaving two days for a buffer period.

"Then I'll trouble you, Commander. I have some things to take care of, so I'll head back now. Please feel free to contact me if you need to coordinate with the production team."

Wu Yiwen had completed his mission and believed he had successfully persuaded Jackie Chan; it was time to leave.

"Go."

Jackie Chan waved his hand, but didn't leave.

Because he and Long Xiaoyun had already reached an understanding, they still had to wait for Long Xiaoyun to finish her talks with Producer Qiao before they could complete the handover.

Meanwhile, the conversation between Long Xiaoyun and Producer Qiao was much more interesting than that between Jackie Chan and Producer Qiao.

"It's like a scholar encountering a soldier; you can't reason with him. Tell me, what exactly does your division commander, who's as strong as a bear, mean? He's just a brute who doesn't understand art."

Producer Joe, who was just being polite to Jackie Chan, turned around and started criticizing him and talking behind his back.

A perfect demonstration of what it means to be a two-faced person!

"Commander Cheng is not only fluent in multiple languages, but he also entered Capital University as the top scorer in the college entrance examination. During his studies, he declined a personal invitation from the famous Hong Kong director John Woo."

Instead of directly retaliating against Producer Qiao, Long Xiaoyun cleverly slapped him in the face from the side.

These days, Hong Kong directors are all very famous. Producer Qiao hired a Hong Kong director for this TV series. When he heard that John Woo had invited Jackie Chan, his expression immediately changed.

A director of John Woo's caliber is someone even producer Joe couldn't get in touch with; he couldn't hire him even if he wanted to.

Producer Qiao's disdainful expression vanished instantly. To avoid embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject, asking, "We packed everything up before filming started, so what does he mean by this? He's not even giving Old Master Tian any face?"

Without connections, it's impossible to film in the military; Producer Joe knew how to leverage his powerful backers.

"Commander Cheng has always had a strong sense of organization, and you were in the wrong first by entering the troops' area to film without his permission."

As she spoke, Long Xiaoyun poured a glass of water and placed it next to the woman, saying, "Have some water."

"I don't drink it, I have this."

The woman opened the backpack she had brought and said as she took things out, "Hey, do you see this? This teacup was a gift from Deputy Minister Xiao at headquarters. Deputy Minister Xiao is very concerned about our play and often calls to ask about it."

Take another look at this can of tea? It was a gift from Secretary Yu of S, this year's new tea.

See these cigarettes? Let me tell you, this is a two-pack of cigarettes that Andy Lau, the international bigwig, specially gave me when I was negotiating with him in Hong Kong. Want one?

Long Xiaoyun shook her head and didn't say anything, just watching him put on a show.

"Then I'll smoke it myself."

Producer Joe lit a cigarette, took a puff, and suddenly remembered something, saying, "Oh, right, let me show you these photos of mine."

Look, this is a photo I took with a group of senior leaders during my recent trip to the capital. They were all willing to take photos with me, and one of the senior leaders even treated me to a meal.

You've definitely never met these veteran leaders. They all came down from above, and they're all incredibly capable.

They usually don't see people; this is because of my special relationship with them.

Producer Qiao arrogantly opened the photo album and showed it to Long Xiaoyun, trying to indirectly prove how powerful his backing was.

Long Xiaoyun already had a well-thought-out plan, and remained quietly watching her performance.

There was no interruption or reply throughout the entire process.

When Producer Qiao saw that Long Xiaoyun was unmoved and clearly not intimidated by what he had taken out, he realized that he had met a master and had no choice but to reveal his last trump card.

He took out his phone and said, "Time waits for no one, and my time is very precious. It seems I have to call Old Tian and ask him to step in to solve this problem."

"Hey, don't rush."

Long Xiaoyun, who had been holding back her big move for a long time, finally unleashed it. After repeatedly stopping Producer Qiao, she took out her phone.

While flipping through the phone book, he said, "Let me find someone first and explain to Mr. Tian that you calling him might cause a rift, which wouldn't be good for anyone."

When Producer Qiao heard that Long Xiaoyun was also going to make a phone call, he was genuinely taken aback.

Long Xiaoyun pretended to dial a number, and after the call connected, she put on a convincing performance, saying, "Hello, this is Long Xiaoyun from the First Division. Auntie, is the commander there?"

"Auntie? I've become an auntie?"

Qu Ying, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't understand what Long Xiaoyun meant at all.

"Oh, you went to the Southeast Sea?"

When Long Xiaoyun mentioned this place, Producer Qiao's eyes widened immediately.

This place is amazing.

Long Xiaoyun's ability to contact the local leader meant that her connections were a hundred times stronger than his previous ones, which immediately stunned Producer Qiao.

However, there was still some skepticism at this point, as people didn't believe that Long Xiaoyun could have such great power.

You can see that Long Xiaoyun and the person on the other end of the phone are chatting so intimately and enthusiastically, and Long Xiaoyun is already a lieutenant colonel in her early twenties.

Producer Qiao's suspicions gradually dissipated, and he looked at Long Xiaoyun with increasing caution.

"Auntie, that's the situation. Since the leader isn't here, could you please wait for him to return and ask him to make a phone call to Elder Tian to explain things and avoid any misunderstandings? Thank you, that's all."

Long Xiaoyun acted for a long time, and at the end, she even made a special mention of Old Tian.

"Dragon Master, what are you talking about? You're confusing me."

Qu Ying became more and more confused as she listened. She wanted to ask for clarification, but the other end of the phone had already hung up, leaving her staring at her phone, completely bewildered.

"Hey, Comrade Xiaolong, which leader did you call?" Producer Qiao was completely taken aback, and his voice became softer.

The pretentious tone he had just displayed vanished without a trace.

"Oh, one of my father's old subordinates." Long Xiaoyun put away her phone, lying without batting an eye.

"Your father's old subordinate?"

Producer Qiao was suddenly startled. If his old subordinate was already a leader, then wouldn't Long Xiaoyun's father be...?

Producer Joe couldn't believe it!

"Old Tian was his former subordinate. I don't want to bother my father, so I'll ask him for help. He should call me soon."

Long Xiaoyun's acting skills are truly amazing; anyone who didn't know better would definitely believe she was telling the truth.

"Was Old Tian a former subordinate of your father?"

Producer Qiao's eyes instantly cleared, and his gaze towards Long Xiaoyun completely changed. Suddenly, he said with a knowing look while gesturing with his hands, "Hey, come on, turn your face over, yes, turn it this way."

"Oh my, Captain Xiaolong, I'm not exaggerating, your face is definitely that of a star, the kind that could definitely become a big star."

Just a moment ago he was showing off and trying to impress people, but now that he hears about his impressive background, his attitude has suddenly changed completely, which makes Long Xiaoyun laugh.

"Don't laugh, really don't laugh. It's a waste of your talent to join the army. You're born to be an actor."

Producer Joe excitedly slapped his thigh and said, "How about this? I'll add a very important role for you in our film. You can make a cameo appearance."

Let me tell you, who knows, this movie might just launch your career and make you an international superstar.

Producer Qiao has definitely fooled a lot of people. She's very good at fooling women who are just starting out in society, and they're so naive that they just follow her.

Who is Ke Long Xiaoyun?

She is an outstanding soldier who has undergone special training and is proficient in a variety of skills. She is very mature in both character and temperament.

How could she be so easily fooled by a few words and become a female celebrity?

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I have no interest in acting." Long Xiaoyun refused without even thinking.

"Little Dragon, Miss Dragon, Captain Dragon, you absolutely have to help with this, otherwise I can't film this movie, and the losses will amount to millions."

Producer Qiao couldn't compete with Long Xiaoyun in terms of connections, so he had no choice but to ask Long Xiaoyun for help.

"Okay, I can help with this. I don't want things to get too tense," Long Xiaoyun said.

"Oh dear, I heard the generator has been taken away. How are we supposed to film this movie now?" Producer Joe was indeed very anxious, slapping his thighs repeatedly.

"Don't even think about getting a generator set; the troops need it urgently."

Long Xiaoyun firmly refused, leaving no room for negotiation. Then she changed the subject and said, "However, I have two suggestions for you. I heard that the provincial TV station has several low-noise generator trucks that are not used. They are much better than the ones in our army. You can go and borrow them."

Secondly, our military can assist your film crew in negotiating with the local power supply station to install a dedicated power line for you, which could be done in less than a month at the fastest.

"In conjunction with the provincial television station's generator truck, your electricity problem can be perfectly solved."

Long Xiaoyun was very skilled at using persuasive language. Instead of saying that the military needed a dedicated power line, she said that she could cooperate with the film crew to install one.

In this way, once the film crew finishes shooting the TV series and leaves, the dedicated line will naturally become the property of the First Division.

He's really calculating things!

"How much would it cost to set up a dedicated line?" Producer Joe was genuinely intrigued by this offer.

"A few hundred thousand, I'm not sure of the exact number. If you agree, I can go and ask for more details." Long Xiaoyun still acted as if she were an outsider.

"Hundreds of thousands?"

Upon hearing this number, Producer Joe immediately perked up and boasted, "Our film has an investment of tens of millions."

It's only a few hundred thousand, no problem. Please contact Captain Xiaolong as soon as possible.

If it can be done within half a month, I'm willing to pay a little more. Time is money, and as the boss, I can make that decision.

Right now, the main thing is these soldiers. To be honest, I'm filming a scene of crossing the sea, a large-scale naval battle. It's a huge scene and requires a lot of people.

I've already rented the bed, but how am I supposed to film it if there aren't any soldiers on it? You tell me.

I need people who can swim, and I can't find that many people in a short time. If you don't agree, I'll suffer a huge loss.

Producer Joe's tearful expression was very convincing; he truly deserves his professional background in the film and television industry.

"Filming a scene involving crossing the sea? The boat is already ready?"

Upon hearing these two pieces of information, Long Xiaoyun was overjoyed.

This is one of the current problems facing the military!

Unexpectedly, Long Xiaoyun suppressed her surprise and said, "The soldiers are easy to handle. I'll give you as many as you need."

However, there's a condition: you need a dedicated power line, the filming schedule on the ship will be determined by us, and you'll need to pay for each scene as required.

"Just these three requirements?" Producer Joe asked.

"Yes, those are the three requirements," Long Xiaoyun nodded and said.

"Oh my, I've met a little bodhisattva, and a female bodhisattva at that. With just these few things, I can sign a contract with you right now."

Producer Joe was grinning from ear to ear; what she wanted were soldiers from the military.

Otherwise, she wouldn't need to come to the military at all.

"The decision to sign the contract rests with the division commander. It's already too late today. How about this: you come to the division headquarters tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to see the division commander," Long Xiaoyun said.

"Okay, it's settled then." Producer Joe excitedly stood up and reached out his hand.

It's a deal.

Long Xiaoyun stood up and shook hands with him.

The two parties agreed to cooperate, each got what they wanted, chatted for a few minutes, and then went their separate ways.

Producer Joe needs to find the director and discuss the upcoming filming with him.

Long Xiaoyun needed to tell Jackie Chan the good news they had discussed—the great news that the two most pressing problems of the First Division had been resolved—as soon as possible.
