Chapter 0015: Give me a decent idea!

Several days ago.

After Zheng Yingqi and Xu Sanduo finished their extra training and took a break, Zheng Yingqi started a conversation and said, "Sanduo, do you remember the equipment we had when we first arrived?"

Xu Sanduo nodded: "Of course I remember. Those big machines were really big, and they were louder than the tractors in our village." At this moment, he remembered his subconscious hand-raising gesture and became a little embarrassed: "Yingqi, I really didn't know what was going on back then. Why did I raise my hand? If you hadn't covered for me, the company commander would probably have scolded me to death."

This guy has a lot of respect for Takashiro, probably because he was scolded by Takashiro on the first day.

"Hey guys, wouldn't you like to tell your families about this when you write home?"

Xu Sanduo said excitedly, "Of course I'll tell you..."

He had barely finished speaking when Zheng Yingqi slapped Xu Sanduo on the head: "You idiot, I'll teach you to talk, I'll teach you to talk..." Zheng Yingqi hit him hard this time to make a deeper impression on Xu Sanduo.

Xu Sanduo held his head, looking aggrieved, and said, "Why did you hit me? Did I...did I say something wrong again?"

Zheng Yingqi recalled this guy's catchphrase, which perfectly matched the phrase that would become popular on the internet years later: "Again and again!"

"Do you know what you did wrong?" Zheng Yingqi glared at Xu Sanduo, who scratched his head dumbly and gave a silly grin: "I don't know."

Have you carefully read the confidentiality guidelines?

He chuckled foolishly again: "I...I didn't look closely."

"Go back and copy it three times yourself!"

……

In the meeting room, Gao Cheng asked in shock, "You don't know? If you don't know what it means, then why are you memorizing this?"

Xu Sanduo replied naively, "I was thinking that if I memorized it, I could write a letter to my father later."

Gao Cheng's mouth dropped open, a surge of anger rising from the top of his head to the soles of his feet. He wanted to call Shi Jin over, but then he heard Xu Sanduo continue, "But I remembered the secrecy rules, so... so I didn't dare tell my dad."

After hearing Xu Sanduo's breathless reply, Zheng Yingqi, who was on edge, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "Xu Sanduo, will you die if you don't breathe when you talk?"

Xu Sanduo's additional words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Gao Cheng's head, instantly extinguishing his burning anger. Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi, who had been visibly furious, also breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Cheng's anger turned to curiosity, and after a long while, he finally managed to stammer out, "Then what were you planning to do with it on your back?"

Xu Sanduo flashed his signature goofy grin: "I haven't decided yet, but... but this is what you said, Company Commander, so even if I memorize it, it won't be a waste."

The new recruits suppressed their laughter; if it weren't for Gao Cheng's status, they would have burst into laughter. Gao Cheng's expression also became strange; this honest man's flattery was quite good.

Shi Jin and Wu Liu exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes. This Xu San Dai, really…

Gao Cheng laughed heartily: "You, Xu Sanduo, that's blatant flattery! Our army doesn't do that! Alright, sit down, keep reciting if you want, um, I'll continue telling you about it."

His enthusiasm grew even higher, and he began to boast about the training and combat capabilities of his Steel Seventh Company. After saying a lot, the new recruits were drooling. If you're going to be a soldier, of course you have to be the best!

After a long string of boasts, Gao Cheng finally caught his breath and asked, "After all that, do you guys want to join the Steel Seventh Company?"

"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

Gao Cheng deliberately made a gesture of protecting his ears. "Goodness, that's a really loud voice! I can hear your longing in your voices, but my reconnaissance company isn't easy to get into. Only the best recruits can get in!"

So, in the training that follows, you must train even harder, because only the best recruits will get into my reconnaissance company!

Gao Cheng had a natural leadership quality. When he stood there boasting, the descriptions he made filled the new recruits with longing for "my reconnaissance company." Even Zheng Yingqi was stunned by the scenes Gao Cheng described, let alone these new recruits who had not yet been baptized by the information explosion.

After Gao Cheng's unexpected visit to the platoon ended, the entire 2nd platoon trained relentlessly, all wanting to join the company commander's "reconnaissance company" and become the best soldiers.

Even salted fish have dreams, and so do people, including Xu Sanduo. He originally wanted to stay under Shi Jin's wing and follow Zheng Yingqi and Cheng Cai. Now, after being encouraged by Gao Cheng, he wanted to join "my reconnaissance company" even more. But slowly, Xu Sanduo began to despair.

Because in terms of training performance, he was still at the bottom of the entire fifth squad, and he was also at the bottom of the entire second platoon. With such results, how could he have entered Shi Jin's company? How could he have entered "my reconnaissance company" that Gao Cheng mentioned?

Despite his constant efforts, the reality that he could never reach the top made Xu Sanduo finally lose heart.

Xu Sanduo was not good at hiding his emotions. Zheng Yingqi, who trained Xu Sanduo every day, naturally noticed his emotions. After the extra training ended that day, Zheng Yingqi pulled Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo aside and said, "Let's go sit over there for a while."

At its peak, the entire Class 5 was doing extra training. But after a while, only three people remained. As the intensity of training increased, the extra training put a heavier burden on the body. Those who could continue after the daytime training were truly superhuman. Zheng Yingqi wanted to give up many times, but Cheng Cai didn't back down. Naturally, he didn't want to lose face, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

Cheng Cai and Zheng Yingqi share the same mentality. Both of them were constantly vying for the position of vice class monitor, and neither of them wanted the other to look down on them.

So the extra training never stopped—oh right, there was a third person too.

Xu Sanduo is like a sponge; if you squeeze him, you can always get something out of him. Sometimes, even Zheng Yingqi genuinely admires him.

Despite his cowardly appearance, this guy is a tough guy who made it to the top tier in the end. He's even come to enjoy this kind of grueling extra training.

Zheng Yingqi had to admit that part of the reason he had persisted until now was because he didn't want to show weakness in front of Cheng Cai, but another part was definitely because of Xu Sanduo—Xu Sanduo hadn't given up on extra training, so if he gave up, how could he keep up with this guy's future pace?

The three sat down in the corner. Zheng Yingqi looked at Xu Sanduo and said, "Sanduo, I feel like something's wrong with you these past few days. You're listless, like you've lost all your energy. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Cai immediately said, "San Daizi, what's wrong? Tell Squad Leader Cheng, and I'll take care of it for you."

Well, in the new vice class period, Cheng Cai has become the vice class leader as he wished. Having defeated Zheng Yingqi, he naturally wants to show off his status.

When Zheng Yingqi asked Xu Sanduo about it, he lowered his head in disappointment and said, "I feel like I can't make it into the platoon leader's company."

Before Zheng Yingqi could answer, Cheng Cai interrupted, "Of course! Look at your training results. If you keep going like this, you'll either be discharged or sent to feed pigs. If you're discharged, you'll be in big trouble. Even if you feed pigs, you won't have any chance to perform. Once your term is over, you'll have to leave."

You came all this way to the army and didn't even get to touch a gun. Aren't you ashamed to death when you get back?

Cheng Cai's words startled Xu Sanduo, whose face turned pale, perhaps because he remembered the scene of having to feed pigs for two years.

"Chengcai, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zheng Yingqi was both amused and exasperated. "What kind of joke is this? Do you think this is a farm? Raising pigs? Don't be ridiculous. Our regiment is a top-notch armored infantry regiment. It's not a local force or a construction corps. The country recruited us here, how could it be to raise pigs?"

Besides, we had opportunities to shoot in basic training.

"Really?" Xu Sanduo looked at Zheng Yingqi hopefully.

Zheng Yingqi laughed and said, "Of course it's real! Don't make it out to be true!"

Of course, that was a lie. If Zheng Yingqi remembered correctly, some of the new recruits who rode the luxury bus with Xu Sanduo were assigned to the production base. What the production base did was obvious.

"But what if I'm assigned to another unit and can't even get to touch a gun?" Xu Sanduo asked worriedly.

"What a joke, even the cookhouse has guns, though they're not used much," Zheng Yingqi replied confidently. Xu Sanduo still said dejectedly, "But I don't want to go to the cookhouse. I want to join the platoon leader's company with you guys."

As he spoke, Xu Sanduo's eyes reddened again. Fortunately, influenced by Zheng Yingqi, he held back his tears, afraid of upsetting Zheng Yingqi or disappointing him.

Cheng Cai's earlier ignorant remark had been refuted by Zheng Yingqi, but now that Xu Sanduo was talking about it, he immediately chimed in, "Find someone! Go find the platoon leader, cry to him, whatever... whatever makes him think you like this place and that you're not going to any other company."

"I've always liked this place," Xu Sanduo said, slightly unconvinced.

Cheng Cai was furious. How could these three idiots be so stupid? "I meant you made him think you like him!"

Xu Sanduo was bewildered; he couldn't figure out what that meant: "I like you? Make him think I like you?"

"It's all about performance! Acting!" Cheng Cai corrected, but seeing Zheng Yingqi chuckling beside him, he became even more enraged and said in embarrassment, "Go to hell, Xu Sanduo!"

Xu Sanduo chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head, realizing he had said the wrong thing yet again.

Zheng Yingqi laughed and said, "Sanduo, don't listen to Cheng Cai's bad idea!"

The person who decided to send the new recruits to the Seventh Company was Gao Cheng, and Gao Cheng was a person who valued the Seventh Company more than his own life. How could he let a salted fish enter his beloved Seventh Company just because his subordinates pleaded for him?

Moreover, Zheng Yingqi believed that Xu Sanduo, who did not go to the Fifth Platoon of the Third Company, was soulless. Well, in fact, Zheng Yingqi saw very clearly that Gao Cheng would never agree to let Xu Sanduo enter the Seventh Company. Gao Cheng was very stubborn and arrogant on this point, and even Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin pleading together could not change his mind.

How did Xu Sanduo get into the Seventh Company?

If the commander shoves someone in, Gao Cheng will beg on the ground if he gives the order, but he still has to take the person in!

"How is my idea bad? You should come up with a good idea!" Cheng Cai was displeased when Zheng Yingqi retorted. Their relationship was strange; while they were competing, their intimacy was slowly increasing.

Xu Sanduo also looked at Zheng Yingqi. He knew that Zheng Yingqi was knowledgeable and shrewd, and should have a very good idea.
