Chapter 3583: Competing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The ten students who were dragged to the provincial military district had been shooting for half a day. Even after they had returned to school, they still didn’t know why they were dragged out. Before the head of education could report the situation to the princ.i.p.al, the leader of the provincial military district called to ask.
As they chatted, the political commissar of the provincial military district smiled and said, “Just now, I heard from the platoon leader that there’s a female student called Ye Jian in your school. She’s very powerful. When she’s free, let me meet her too.”
The political commissar came from the hometown of the late chairman. When he spoke, he had a familiar local accent. “She’ll be in her third year in the second half of the year, right? Third-year students need to be at the gra.s.s-roots level. Why don’t you just let her come to our company? Our company is at the gra.s.s-roots level too. It’s close to the school. How convenient it’d be!”
After chatting for a long time, it turned out that he was here to understand the situation and make arrangements for the future.
The head of education, who was in a good mood, smiled brightly and said, “Political Commissar Tan, this is against the rules. I just brought the students to your company for a round of shooting. Why are you targeting my students?
“That won’t do. We have no such plans. It seems we’ll have to disappoint you.”
Send Ye Jian to the guard company? What a joke.
With Ye Jian’s current ability, it would be a waste if she was sent to the guard company. In another two years, her ability would continue to improve. How could she go to the provincial guard company?
Even if she really wanted to go to a guard company, she should take on a heavy responsibility in the Great Hall. A provincial guard company would make Ye Jian suffer.
The head of education really thought so. He immediately rejected the political commissar from the provincial military district in a teasing tone. “Student Ye Jian’s results have to be reported this time. When her results are released, I’m afraid even our school won’t have the right to make arrangements for her. We’ll have to listen to the higher-ups.”
When Commissar Tan heard that they needed to report it, he looked at the platoon leader standing in front of him with a piece of paper filled with numbers in his hand. He shook his head lightly, indicating that he had lost all hope.
“So, you have to report it. It looks like the higher-ups know about your student’s ability. In that case, I have no choice but to live in regret. However, a talent like her won’t be unappreciated no matter where she goes. She’ll be able to achieve great things.”
The platoon leader, who came to report, looked disappointed when he heard that. He said to the company commander who came with him, “What a pity. If she could come to our guard company, she’d be able to fight for countless medals of honor.”
Every year, there would be compet.i.tions between the various military units of the country. There was also a compet.i.tion between the guards. Although it wasn’t as big as the military compet.i.tion, it was still a compet.i.tion for the guards.
The company commander felt that it was a pity too, but there was nothing he could do about it. As long as her results were presented to the higher-ups, they would definitely leave a deep impression on the leaders. They would all have an impression of her. The place they would send Ye Jian to was bound to be a huge place.
The head of education could understand how the provincial military district felt—regret and resignation… There were all kinds of emotions. He wanted to let her stay in school to groom the next batch of students as well, but unfortunately, he couldn’t.
It was a pity that she couldn’t stay.
She was like a young eagle that was destined to spread its wings and fly high. No one could stop it from yearning for the freedom of the sky.
Although Ye Jian’s results were not bad, her position as a ‘combatant’ was obvious. She didn’t choose the path of scientific research. Instead, she chose the ‘combat’ that she liked and was strong in. This was good too.
Talents. No matter what kind of talent it was, the country needed them.
