Chapter 1944 Difference
Ye Jian waved at them and smiled at Lu Xin. “Cla.s.s Monitor, it turns out that you weren’t just casually saying that back then. You were recruited into the army in winter. You should still be in the boot camp at this time.”
Indeed, soldiers understood soldiers best. None of the others asked any questions.
“I wasn’t a.s.signed anywhere else. I’ve always been in the Southern Province. I didn’t expect the company commander to agree and really give me two days of leave,” Lu Xin, who kept his back straight, replied with a smile. His tone seemed a little restrained.
“It couldn’t have been that easy for a recruit to take leave upon joining the military, right? Cla.s.s Monitor, you couldn’t have gotten two days off that easily, right?” Ye Jian, who knew the military well, didn’t believe that it was so easy to take two days off.
A more humorous company commander who was slightly easier to talk to would usually have a belly full of ideas to deal with the troublemakers. What more a company commander who had a strong style of doing things and was a man of his word? Recruits taking leave after joining the army for a month? Did they treat the army as their own home and think they could do whatever they wanted?
The company commanders under Commander Liu, Commissar Yan, and the rest were easy to talk to, but none of the new recruits would have the guts to ask for leave immediately after joining
“I was really given two days of leave. If you don’t believe me, take a look!” Lu Xin looked at her with an imposing manner. His scalp was slightly numb as he hurriedly opened the pocket on his coat and took out the neatly folded note. “Look, the company commander’s signature is on it.”
Ye Jian saw that he was so nervous that his forehead seemed to be covered in sweat. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He didn’t seem like the smooth and slick cla.s.s monitor from before anymore.
She sized him up for a while. “Why do you look like a different person? The recruitment period is not over yet. You shouldn’t have changed so much. You don’t look like our cla.s.s monitor anymore.”
Lu Xin got even more nervous when she did not take it. He opened the note and pa.s.sed it to her. “You’re not allowed to change the topic. I have to let you see my leave application. Look, here… is my company commander’s signature and the stamp of release. There’s even the time stated for me to return to the team. I have to return to the team before five o’clock tomorrow.”
Ye Jian took a look at it, and it seemed genuine. Lu Xin was from the chemical defense regiment. “Hehe, isn’t your team nearby? I’m quite surprised. How did you directly get a.s.signed to the chemical defense regiment? However, my squad leader said that soldiers may not necessarily be permanently allocated to the chemical defense regiment. It’s very likely that they’ll only be allocated after the new recruits’ training.”
Lu Xin saw that she believed him and was afraid that the wind would blow away the leave application. He quickly folded it carefully and put it back into his pocket. He said, “I don’t know why the company commander gave me two days of leave so readily. I guess it’s because my performance is not too bad.”
The better the performance, the stricter the team would be. The cla.s.s monitor’s performance was good and he took two days of leave. Based on her experience… after these two days of leave, the cla.s.s monitor was going to be in dire straits. His leader would show him special ‘concern’.
The pitiful cla.s.s monitor still did not know the tactics of army leaders. It was better not to remind the cla.s.s monitor for the time being, in case he would not be in a good mood for the gathering later.
Ye Jian sympathized with him.
Lu Xin, who didn’t know the routine of the military leaders, didn’t know what would happen when he went back. He urged, saying, “Go in and take a seat first. All the girls in our cla.s.s are here. Zhang Yueyan asked if you were here. An Jiaxin asked the same thing. When they heard that you weren’t here yet, they were worried that you wouldn’t come.”
He was too embarra.s.sed to say that standing together with her was like seeing the chief. He felt pressured even though she was wearing casual clothes.
