"Of course!"
Qin Yuan smiled calmly, signaling the car to slow down.
Zang Chong's eyes lit up immediately. He sprinted forward, leaping into the jeep and settling comfortably into the middle seat. "Hahaha... Riding in a jeep is so comfortable!"
Zang Chong laughed heartily.
"Holy crap, the company commander actually agreed?"
"Making such an outrageous request, I thought the company commander would beat him up, but nothing happened, and he actually got the seat?"
"I'm so envious!"
"What's the use of envy? You have to run that fast first!"
...
In an instant, everyone was furious.
But there was nothing they could do.
There was only one seat left in the jeep; only the first-place finisher was eligible to sit there.
It was pointless for them to say anything now.
The only thing they could do now was run as fast as they could, trying to get under 17 minutes.
16 minutes and 50 seconds.
As the last recruit crossed the finish line,
this surprise five-kilometer run finally came to an end.
The recruits were panting heavily, drenched in sweat, with many collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath. Except for a few exceptionally strong troublemakers, few could stand calmly.
"These troublemakers, their discipline is truly impressive!" Qin Yuan was very satisfied, but appearances had to be maintained. He didn't hold back his mockery, "Look at your pathetic discipline! You can't even handle five kilometers? You're all exhausted like dead dogs!"
"In all my years in the army, I've never seen such terrible soldiers!"
Qin Yuan deliberately belittled them.
When leading troops, rewards are due, but they must never be allowed to become arrogant.
"Seriously, Company Commander? We ran at an excellent level, and you call that bad?"
"Company Commander, you can't just brag like that! With our level, not to mention the strongest recruit company in history, even the elite company in the regiment might not be able to run faster than us!"
"Company Commander, don't be so smug! You should be grateful to have a recruit company like ours!" Su Xiaoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Pfft, hahaha..."
The recruits immediately burst into laughter.
"Su Xiaoyu!" Qin Yuan's face instantly turned icy, and he roared.
In an instant.
All the recruits immediately fell silent.
"Present!" Su Xiaoyu was completely stunned.
He realized then that he seemed to have messed up again?
The company commander was angry again?
"Damn it, why am I so unlucky? I just can't control myself." Su Xiaoyu cursed inwardly.
"Su Xiaoyu, I think you're asking for trouble! Daring to mock the company commander? Right now, immediately, you're adding another 5 kilometers to your punishment! No sleep until you finish." Qin Yuan's voice was icy.
"Yes, Company Commander!" Su Xiaoyu nodded hastily and dashed off.
"Thank goodness, it's just 5 kilometers! They didn't beat me up! If they had, I'd be in big trouble." Su Xiaoyu felt a surge of relief.
Five kilometers!
He could finish it in 20 minutes now!
The troublemakers watched Su Xiaoyu sprint with schadenfreude, but then, Zang Chong stood up, his eyes shining, full of confidence. "Reporting, Company Commander, I challenge you!"
"What? Challenge the company commander? Has this savage been kicked in the head by a donkey?" Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise.
"Did I hear that right? That savage actually challenged the company commander?"
"Is this some kind of old man trying to hang himself, tired of living?"
...
In an instant.
The troublemakers, upon hearing the savage's words, immediately erupted into a heated discussion.
Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the wild man with interest. "What challenge do you want?"
Zang Chong smiled,
and shouted, "A 5-kilometer race! Whoever runs faster wins! I want to see what kind of strength the company commander has!"
"Heh," Qin Yuan chuckled dismissively, "Zang Chong, although you run fast, I advise you to give up that idea. With your speed, you can't beat me."
"Really? I don't believe it!" Zang Chong was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow stubbornly, "Company commander, your combat skills and military bearing have completely impressed me. I admire you! But in terms of pure ability, I, Zang Chong, am confident I'm absolutely no worse than you!"
"If you have the guts, let's have a race! Otherwise, I absolutely won't admit defeat!" Zang Chong's fighting spirit burned brightly.
"Company Commander, that savage's 5km run far surpasses ordinary people, almost reaching the world record. I think you're scared, afraid to compete with Zang Chong, right?"
"Yeah, Company Commander, if you're too scared to compete, just admit defeat to Brother Chong, it's nothing."
"That savage has freakish talent, losing to him isn't shameful, we won't look down on your company commander."
...
Suddenly, they saw their company commander seem to have retreated!
The troublemakers started chattering, gloating.
In the army, it's all about strength!
Only the strong have a voice!
Only the strong earn respect.
This afternoon, Ye Feng repeatedly displayed terrifying combat skills, easily defeating their strongest member, Zang Chong, and even standing with them in extreme standard military posture for the entire afternoon. They realized Qin Yuan's strength and finally bowed their proud heads in slight submission.
Now that they had a chance to see Qin Yuan suffer a setback, they naturally wouldn't miss it.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan suddenly laughed, his gaze sweeping over the group. He slowly said, "Your attempts at provocation are so low-level."
"Damn it, the company commander found out?"
"Sigh, looks like we went too far."
"Nonsense! This wasn't provocation at all, it was our true intention, we just wanted to tease the company commander, okay?"
The troublemakers, hearing Qin Yuan's words, looked slightly embarrassed, but still stubbornly maintained their composure.
"Actually, if you want to see me, Zang Chong, compete, it's not impossible!" Qin Yuan suddenly said with a smile, "You just need to agree to one condition."
He had already thought of a way to deal with these troublemakers.
Hmph!
Dare to laugh at me? Watch me get my comeuppance!
You're the ones who will suffer!
"What are your conditions? Money or your life? We'll agree to anything!"
"Just to see the company commander get his comeuppance, I'm willing to donate 100,000 yuan to help him improve his meals."
"Company commander, tell us quickly!"
The troublemakers, sensing an opportunity, immediately started chattering amongst themselves.
"I'll have a 5-kilometer race with Zang Chong. If Zang Chong wins, I'll grant you any requests you have," Qin Yuan said confidently. "But if Zang Chong loses, you'll have to run an extra 5 kilometers as punishment before you can sleep."
"It's just 5 kilometers! I thought it was some kind of punishment. It's just 5 kilometers, I can finish it in half an hour at most."
"Brothers, such generous terms for the bet, you'll never get another chance like this! We should cherish it!"
"To bet or not to bet?"
"I'm worried there's a trap! Better safe than sorry."
"I think the new company commander seems like a man of his word. If he loses, we can make any demands, then we can just fire him and have a blast!"
Suddenly, one of the troublemakers shouted excitedly, instantly igniting the recruits' fighting spirit.
"Brilliant!"
"Wild Man, we agree! Go race the company commander!"
"For the brothers' happiness, Wild Man, don't let us down this time!"
"Brave Bull, fearless of difficulties! Outrun the company commander and usher in a bright future!"
The troublemakers quickly reached an agreement and accepted Qin Yuan's terms.
Qin Yuan also smiled with triumph.
"Zang Chong, you just ran 5 kilometers. To be fair, I'll give you two choices: one, rest for 20 minutes and then we'll start the race; two, postpone the race until tomorrow morning, so you can compete with me in peak condition, saving them trouble if you lose."
"Which do you choose?" Qin Yuan asked slowly.
