Chapter 2000 Winning Everything
Uncle Chen felt that this was good. From their conversation, he could tell how satisfied Commander Xia was with Ye Jian.
“The commander in chief is right. You have to respect him in the army. You have to respect him in life, but you don’t have to be afraid of him. Is there a need to be afraid when a family gets along harmoniously?”
After running around the capital, Ye Jian returned to the sniper base at seven p.m. She held a cup of hot water and told Princ.i.p.al Chen everything that Commander Xia told her about the Military Disciplinary Committee.
Princ.i.p.al Chen was very happy. “Commander Xia is Captain Xia’s father and your elder. His att.i.tude is very important.”
After a slight pause, he said meaningfully, “Since you’re valued by the commander in chief, you’ll have a backer in the future. Do you understand, girl?”
Backer?
But she had never thought of finding a backer for herself. She only wanted to rely on her own hard work to win everything.
Ye Jian placed the cup of water on the table gently. There was some doubt in her eyes. “Uncle Chen, you mean to say that Commander Xia has been a big help to my mother’s matter? Is that right?” “You can think of it that way.” After talking to Ye Jian last night, Princ.i.p.al Chen knew that she still wanted to hide her matter from Captain Xia. She thought that it was her own personal matter and didn’t want to trouble Captain Xia. Thus, Princ.i.p.al Chen knew that he had to lecture Ye Jian. It was the first time that Ye Jian heard Princ.i.p.al Chen say such words. She sat up straight. “Uncle Chen, are my current efforts not enough that I need a backer?”
There was a hint of anger in her calm tone.
Why was she angry?
Because she had lost terribly in her previous life!
But she admitted it. Who told her to be so disappointing and live a life of cowardice?
In this life, she almost risked her life to work hard. Did she still need a backer?
In order to reach Uncle Chen’s sniping standard, she carried more than five kilograms of weight with both hands as training. Even if she was so tired that she could not even lift her arms, she would grit her teeth and continue training the next day just so that she could hold the sniper rifle steadily at any time and in any environment.
In order to identify the model of the gun with her eyes closed and to find the parts that belonged to the gun, she stayed up all night just to meet Grandpa Gen’s requirements.
To have quick reflexes, she practiced listening as the bullet brushed past her. She learned to identify the trajectory of bullets and avoid being hit by them.
In order to attain top-notch skills, no matter the wind or rain, she would never stop training even for a day. She would never raise her hands to say that she wanted to rest because she was tired.
In order to become a qualified special forces soldier, she would work together with the male soldiers. She would do whatever the male soldiers could do. Even if the male soldiers could not do it, she would grit her teeth and do it.
The two elders, Grandpa Gen and Princ.i.p.al Chen, had taught her that it was better to rely on herself than anyone else. With the tragedy of her previous life, she deeply agreed with this and worked hard to rely on herself and not anyone else.
But now, Uncle Chen told her that it was important to have a backer.
Was it really that important?
Facing her doubts, Princ.i.p.al Chen was very sure and told Ye Jian truthfully, “That’s right, Ye Jian. In the future, with Commander Xia as your backer, your path will be much smoother.
“I’m not saying that you shouldn’t do anything in the future. I’m just telling you that if you have the commander in chief as your backer, some people will be afraid of you and won’t make things difficult for you.
“But I think that your future will be smooth. I don’t think that you no longer have to work hard anymore and should rely completely on the Xia family.”
Hearing this, Ye Jian suppressed the anger in her heart. Uncle Chen wouldn’t say such words to her for no reason. He must have his reasons. She needed to listen carefully.
