Chapter 43 Is this a case of raising a good-for-nothing?
1345 Words
"Uncle can tolerate this, but aunt can't!"
Zang Chong was the first to object: "Company Commander, why?! This kid got some bullets and became a deputy squad leader? This reward is way too generous!"
Zhang Shuai was equally indignant: "Company Commander, if you ask me, the deputy squad leader position should be given to the capable! Fang Tian's ability to pull strings doesn't count as real skill! I request that the company commander revoke Fang Tian's reward!"
Su Xiaoyu: "That's right, company commander, how can we accept this deputy squad leader position so easily? We don't accept it!"
...
Almost all the troublemakers were in opposition!
Why?!
Everyone has connections!
Getting a few guns and bullets and he becomes a deputy squad leader?
This is like a windfall!
Sure enough.
Fang Tian's face also darkened!
He knew that his connections weren't even in the top ten among the troublemakers!
It wouldn't be worth angering the big shots over a mere deputy squad leader position.
"Company Commander, after hearing what the brothers said, I..." Fang Tian was about to speak.
"Shut up!" Qin Yuan's face immediately turned frosty. His eyes swept over the group, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice icy: "You... are you questioning my decision?"
"No, Company Commander! We... we were just expressing our dissatisfaction!" Su Xiaoyu mustered her courage and spoke hesitantly.
But just then—
Bang bang bang bang bang!
A violent shadow suddenly rushed over!
Followed by a series of shadows!
"Holy crap!"
"Ouch!"
"Ugh..."
"Damn it, I told you not to defy the company commander, but you wouldn't listen! Now look what happened! Ah!"
"Thump thump thump..."
A series of muffled, painful sounds. Then came the thud of several troublemakers crashing to the ground.
In a mere moment!
Everyone was lying on the ground, clutching their mouths, unable to stand!
Including Fang Tian!
Fang Tian was utterly frustrated!
He hadn't done anything wrong!
Why had the company commander kicked him out too?
"Could it be because I wanted to resign from my position as deputy squad leader, and that angered the company commander?" Fang Tian glanced at the furious Qin Yuan, shuddering in fear!
They say serving a ruler is like serving a tiger!
Right now, Qin Yuan was an exceptionally ferocious tiger, making him dare not disobey in the slightest!
Everyone was horrified!
Once again, they were completely stunned by Qin Yuan!
"What the hell! How are we supposed to compete?! He single-handedly took down 97 grown men like us?!"
"That's f*****g terrifying! I've never seen such a badass soldier in my entire life!"
"Now you've seen it, haven't you?"
"Ugh, what the hell was wrong with me?! Why did I even think of defying the company commander?"
...
They got beaten up!
Everyone got kicked hard!
Now, they were all completely obedient!
"This is outrageous! If I don't discipline you for a day, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!" Qin Yuan roared, furious. "You bunch of rookies! Pumpkins! How dare you question my decision?"
"There are 10 squads in the recruit company! We've never had squad leaders and deputy squad leaders! Isn't it reasonable for me to appoint a deputy squad leader now?"
"Ten deputy squad leaders, ten squad leaders! Deputy first, then squad leader!"
"All of you, as long as you perform adequately or have sufficient ability, have a chance!"
"Now, I ask you, are you being beaten unjustly?"
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Qin Yuan's face.
The troublemakers immediately shook their heads like rattles!
"No, no, no! Company Commander! You did the right thing!"
"So we misunderstood you, Company Commander! Sigh, I thought there was only one deputy squad leader! Turns out there's a squad leader too!"
"Hahaha, thinking about it now, the Company Commander is truly brilliant! A mere deputy squad leader? Let him be one if he wants to!
If you're going to do something, do it right!"
"A recruit who doesn't want to be a squad leader isn't a good squad leader! Brothers, just you wait and see, out of ten squad leader positions, I'll definitely be one!"
"And I definitely will be one!"
"No, no, no, Company Commander, you didn't do the beating!"
...
The troublemakers suddenly realized!
So that's Qin Yuan's plan!
Then their beating was for nothing?
It was completely avoidable!
But—
Thinking of Qin Yuan's terrifying strength!
They immediately shook their heads, angry but unable to speak out!
They had to swallow their anger!
Otherwise, what else could he do?
Seek revenge against Qin Yuan?
That would be tantamount to suicide!
So, having done something wrong, he had no choice but to bear the consequences himself!
"That's more like it!"
"That's the training plan for this morning!"
Qin Yuan nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. "As for the afternoon, once the equipment arrives, consider it a day off!"
"Zhang Shuai!"
"Present!"
"This afternoon, you'll be in charge of building a simple training range for new recruits near the wall! It must be finished by 5 PM!"
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Shuai's eyes lit up immediately!
"If you complete the task well, you'll be rewarded with the position of deputy squad leader!" Qin Yuan said with a smile.
"Haha, good! Don't worry, Company Commander! I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly!" Zhang Shuai nodded excitedly.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan ordered the two platoon leaders to continue leading the new recruits in drill training, while he went to the mess hall first, then hurriedly returned to the dormitory.
After all, he had trained them too hard yesterday, and today they were inexplicably punished with another 5 kilometers.
Qin Yuan understood the principle that haste makes waste!
Today's training intensity shouldn't be too high!
They needed some time to adapt before increasing the intensity to the level of "Hell Week"!
"I'm used to being alone, I actually forgot about Black Emperor!"
Qin Yuan, carrying a few leftover steamed buns and a side dish from the mess hall, arrived at the dormitory door.
"Damn it! I forgot my keys!"
Qin Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing with astonishment that he had forgotten his keys.
His dormitory was next to the three platoon leaders', and normally he didn't carry keys; Old Zhao would open the door for him.
But this didn't stump Qin Yuan.
"Let's try out the advanced lockpicking skill!"
Having acquired the lockpicking skill, Qin Yuan hadn't used it yet!
He rummaged through the trash can for a thin piece of iron, placed the food on the ground, then bent the iron into a ring and inserted it into the keyhole.
It was just an ordinary lock, nothing difficult at all!
After examining the lock's structure, Qin Yuan smiled brightly, gave it a slight pull, and click!
The lock opened instantly!
"It's done!"
Opening the door, a feeling of joy immediately welled up inside him.
"I didn't expect that picking a lock would make me so happy?"
Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile; this was truly an unexpected delight.
"Woof! Woof woof!"
Seeing someone arrive, Black King immediately pranced out angrily from under the bed!
However, its barking was so angry that it was hard not to laugh!
It seemed to realize that the person before it was its master!
Black King quickly calmed down, wagging its tail and trotting over to Qin Yuan, nuzzling him obediently.
"Black King, how dare you bark at me like that?" Qin Yuan was about to get angry, but seeing Black King suddenly become docile, his anger vanished instantly. He squatted down, stroked Black King's smooth fur, and said with a smile, "You haven't eaten anything this morning, come and eat!"
"Woof." Seemingly understanding Qin Yuan's words, Black King woofed obediently and then began to eat quickly!
To Qin Yuan's astonishment!
Four steamed buns and a small portion of melon were devoured by Black King in the blink of an eye! And Black King's belly only bulged slightly!
"Good heavens, have I raised a glutton?"
"Who could imagine such a small dog could eat so much?"
