Chapter 34: Steel Seventh Company Third Squad

Gao Cheng stood at the entrance smoking.

Even though there was a "No Smoking" warning in the corridor.

After smoking three, he coughed and knocked on the big door. "Report!"

"Come in!"

Pushing the door and entering, Wang Qingrui was holding a large plastic water cup, blowing on the jasmine tea on top.

"Uncle Wang, Xu Sanduo was already decided more than two months ago." This time, Gao Cheng's posture was very low.

Wang Qingrui took big gulps of tea, put down the cup, and stared at this second-generation military officer who was still proud and upright in his bones with a half-smile.

"Gao Cheng, come, come, sit, sit, sit."

Wang Qingrui stood up and waved.

He walked out from behind the desk and sat on the sofa.

Thus, Gao Cheng also naturally sat opposite him.

"It's not that Uncle Wang won't give him to you, that kid said it himself, you were the ones who didn't want him back then, and now he doesn't care to go."

Gao Cheng was stunned, somewhat incredulous. "Didn't you tell him about the history of the Steel Seventh Company and its status in the regiment?"

Wang Qingrui looked Gao Cheng over. "Does the Steel Seventh Company need me to promote it? It's an elite company known throughout the army. Why don't I let him train at the regimental headquarters for a while? He looks like a hedgehog, pricking people everywhere. If such a person goes to the company, wouldn't he make you restless?"

Gao Cheng was silent for a moment, then looked up and spoke matter-of-factly. "I want to see him."

Wang Qingrui laughed. "He's just a recruit, it's not worth it."

"I want to see him! Perhaps I didn't seriously understand this soldier, understand everything about this soldier, but now I want to see him, just to say a few words."

Wang Qingrui realized that Gao Cheng was very serious when he said this.

Thus, he said softly, "Staff Bai Qianshi, take Company Commander Gao there."

The big door was gently pushed open, and Staff Bai Qianshi stood straight at the entrance, his tone crisp. "Company Commander Gao, please come with me!"

——

Gao Cheng looked at Feng Yuxiu, who was standing straight and indifferent in front of him, and was silent.

He had never thought that a recruit could refuse to go to the Steel Seventh Company.

What kind of concept the Steel Seventh Company was, the whole regiment knew.

The elite squad and the model soldiers were all in the Steel Seventh Company.

This was something he, Gao Cheng, had built with his own hands.

"Xu Sanduo, to be a soldier is to be a Soldier King, to be in the elite squad, to be a strong soldier known throughout the army. It's not that I look down on being a guard at the regimental headquarters, but that's just wasting time."

"You are not a person who wastes time."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have rushed out of the Grassland Fifth Squad, nor would you have broken two records in the all-army assessment. You are not that kind of person."

Feng Yuxiu still stood coldly.

Thus, Gao Cheng's patience turned into irritability.

"Xu Sanduo, Shi Jin has been good to you, right? This year is his most critical year. Your two records could increase the probability of him staying."

Feng Yuxiu finally spoke. "I am not anyone's stepping stone. I have my own path, and I will not change my mind for anyone."

"Then why did you build the road? Why couldn't you just die in that shitty place? Why did you have to break two records? You are a jackal, not a paramecium that dares to lie on the ground!"

"Think about it carefully!"

Gao Cheng left the regimental headquarters angrily.

Feng Yuxiu's expression was waveless; he turned and returned to the dormitory to continue tidying his bedding.

"Xu Sanduo, right? From now on, your duty is to stand guard for the Regimental Commander. You are not allowed to leave the regimental headquarters without orders!"

Staff Bai Qianshi stated the basic operational requirements for a guard.

Feng Yuxiu finally frowned.

It wasn't that Gao Cheng was right.

It was that he himself couldn't stay here.

No Grandmaster expert was made by standing guard.

"Squad Leader, I'm going out for a while."

——

——

Gao Cheng was happily playing with the tank model on Wang Qingrui's desk.

Wang Qingrui rubbed his brow. "The soldier can be given to you, but you should still go talk to the Third Company Commander, otherwise it won't be good if there's a rift."

Gao Cheng waved his hand. "You don't need to worry about that, two bottles of Moutai were poured into him."

Wang Qingrui was suddenly stunned. "Where did you get the Moutai?"

After speaking, as if remembering something, he walked toward his cabinet.

Gao Cheng's eyelids twitched, and he gently stood up and walked toward the door.

"Where is my wine?"

Gao Cheng turned and ran.

"I'll make it up to you another day."

"This brat..." Wang Qingrui laughed.

Immediately, his expression became flat. Did he care about the departure of one soldier?

What he cared about was the process, the attitude.

It was fine for Gao Cheng to want a soldier; he was happy to give an outstanding soldier to the Steel Seventh Company.

Originally, Feng Yuxiu broke the record, and he intended to give him to the Steel Seventh Company.

After all, a good horse deserves a good saddle.

Before this thought could be spoken, Gao Cheng came directly with the report.

The Third Company Commander just came to the regimental headquarters to complain, and the report went through layers, reaching the division headquarters.

It was almost reaching the group army headquarters.

This point made Wang Qingrui somewhat unhappy.

Naturally, it was impossible for Feng Yuxiu to stay at the regimental headquarters as a guard.

What he wanted was for Gao Cheng to put down his posture.

But this second-generation military officer had not yet suffered any major setbacks.

He was always so self-righteous.

Unless there was the kind of setback that would make him unable to recover, making him wake up.

It seemed this point was somewhat difficult.

At least in this 48th Group Army, the setbacks wouldn't be that big.

——

——

"Shi Jin? Third Squad Leader? Third Brother? You're back?"

Gao Cheng's voice resounded through the entire corridor.

The veterans poked their heads out one after another to look at Feng Yuxiu.

Shi Jin walked out with a face full of smiles. "Oh my, Company Commander, you're still tough, you were able to snatch someone from the Regimental Commander's hands."

"What are you talking about? From now on, he's in your Third Squad, train him well."

After speaking, Gao Cheng turned and walked toward his dormitory.

Only to meet Political Director Hong Xingguo halfway.

"The person is here?"

Gao Cheng's expression was very foul. "Yeah, he's here, he's in the Third Squad."

Hong Xingguo frowned. "Third Squad, Shi Jin has a few bottom-tier soldiers this year, this soldier's quality is so strong, will it..."

"Anything else?" The anger on Gao Cheng's face made Hong Xingguo shake his head.

He didn't want to argue with this company commander who cursed at any time.

Bang!

The big door was heavily closed, like a thunderclap, startling everyone in the corridor.

"Who provoked the Company Commander?"

"It's over, we're going to be trained to death these next few days."

Shi Jin walked into the Third Squad with a face full of smiles, bringing Feng Yuxiu with him.

Inside the Third Squad, Cheng Cai was talking spiritedly to the soldiers of the Third Squad as if he were bragging.

Sensing someone at the door, he turned his head and was slightly stunned.

The moment he looked past Shi Jin's shoulder and saw the expressionless Feng Yuxiu.

A chill shot up from Cheng Cai's tailbone.

Subconsciously, he covered his skull, his lips turning pale.

"Damn, why is he here?"

Shi Jin revealed a smile and began to command. "Bai Tiejun, move your bunk a bit. This is Xu Sanduo, he'll sleep on the lower bunk below me from now on."

Wu Liuyi walked in with a cold face and began to state the squad rules of the Third Squad.

"You use locker number 12, desk number 1, hook number 12. You are allowed to hang your military cap, military uniform, and duty belt..."

After speaking, Wu Liuyi turned his head to look behind him.

Cheng Cai stood up with a face full of smiles and handed Wu Liuyi a cigarette with his right hand.

The brand was Honghe.

Cheng Cai gave a sheepish smile. "Deputy Squad Leader Wu, the three of us are all from the same hometown..."

"I know!" Wu Liuyi said angrily.

Cheng Cai touched his head and still handed the cigarette to Wu Liuyi with his right hand.

"Not smoking. Is this a place to smoke? Huh?"

Cheng Cai quickly put away the cigarette upon hearing this and turned to leave.

Shi Jin looked at Wu Liuyi. "Let's go, let's go out for a bit. Cheng Cai, isn't Xu Sanduo from the same village as you? Have a good chat."

Cheng Cai looked at Feng Yuxiu upon hearing this.

But what responded to him was a cold gaze and a piercing stare.

"No need, Squad Leader, our squad still has things to do."

After speaking, he turned and left in a hurry.

Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi walked out.

Feng Yuxiu stood coldly in the dormitory alone.

This "strangers stay away" aura made Bai Tiejun and the others somewhat stunned.

Those who knew thought a recruit had arrived.

Those who didn't thought a superior had come to inspect. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
