Chapter 66: Isn’t It Good to Be a Serious Recruit?
Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
“Deng Hai, slow down!”
In the dormitory corridor, the students of ss Five were working on their nkets and stools on the floor.
The other sses were busy with their exercise sses, so there was no need to worry about a crowded passage.
All ten of them were in the corridor, which made it spacious and open.
Wang Ye was pressing down on his nket while asionally ncing at the progress of the others.
Deng Hai looked up at Wang Ye, his movements slowing down without saying a word.
Wang Ye didn’t mind. He knew that Deng Hai probably still held some grudges. To be honest, Wang Ye had his own grievances too. But they were dormitory mates, and that was a situation that couldn’t be changed for the next three months.
It was fine if they didn’t interact normally, but in this situation, they had to cooperate.
Wang Ye was rational. His mature mind allowed him to put aside these personal emotions.
In the end, the bigger picture was more important.
“Is this ss Five’s vice monitor really not enlisting for a second time?”
“Do you have experience folding nkets?”
“This is troublesome!” A few veteran squad leaders moved aside and stood at the entrance of the water room, observing the situation in the corridor.
Theymunicated with each other in low voices, frowning as they did so.
Even though the recruits were still under training, Wang Ye’s prominent position in ss Five and his meticulous nket-folding movements made them feel something was amiss.
“Could it be that a powerful veteran in the army taught him how to fold nkets during high school military training?” the fourth ss monitor whispered.
“Sigh, this is so annoying!”
Looking at Wang Ye, the veterans wished they could go over and silence him. They even imagined tying him up and throwing him into the toilet pit.
A recruit should act like a recruit. Wasn’t it enough to be a proper recruit?
Why did he still act like one now? The veteran squad leaders were quite annoyed.
It was the opposite for Ye Sanshi. He was delighted.
Although the nket folding wasn’t finished yet and hadn’t even started for some, he wasn’t nervous at all.
True gold fears no fire.
It must be said that he was fortunate to have someone like Wang Ye among this batch of recruits.
But now, luck or not, regardless of anything else, as long as they won, the spotlight would be on ss Five.
Time passed by. Everyone was patient.
Soldiers often had to stay motionless for hours during sentry duty. Even thepanymander had to stand guard during festivals.
Compared to that, they were currently free to stand and move around. The captain could even smoke by the dormitory window.
Under these circumstances, a little time was nothing.
After more than 40 minutes, Wang Ye was the first to finish folding his nket.
The others were progressing at a slower pace.
Zhang Ping’an, the slowest, had just finishedpressing his nket and started stacking it.
However, those with keen eyes knew that the oue was already decided. But no one interrupted them.
“Where did you learn to fold nkets?” a voice came from the side as soon as Wang Ye finished.
It was thepanymander’s voice.
He stood at the entrance of ss Five’s dormitory.
“Sir, 1 watched some online tutorial videos before joining the army,” Wang Ye answered, already prepared with an excuse.
As a reborn person with a mature mind, Wang Ye had already considered the consequences of standing out. So, he had prepared a series of responses.
“Online?” Kang Hua repeated the word, slightly confused.
Of course, the army wasn’tpletely isted from the world, and he was aware of the inte.
He was puzzled, but it made sense that Wang Ye could learn this skill online.
“Yes, online!” Wang Ye nodded and continued, “1 watched numerous videos on folding nkets and found other military information as well.”
With a smile, Wang Ye rubbed his head and pretended to be naive. “There’s a saying that goes, ‘Don’t go into battle unprepared.’ After enlisting, I paid a lot of attention to army-rted information. I did some research on the inte.”
“Yes!” Wu Jianfeng nodded, finally epting the answer though it wasn’t what he had expected. The reality was right in front of him.
At this moment, Wang Ye’s folded nket surpassed what they had seen before.
It had less swelling, the folds were neater, and the corners were clearer.
“Alright, let’s continue inspecting the internal affairs of the other sses. While the moving red g has been confirmed, the internal affairs evaluation still needs to be double-checked!” Wu Jianfeng said. As he spoke, he walked out of ss Five’s dormitory. He wasn’t going to keep observing. There was no need for that.
If Wang Ye could fold his nket this way, the other soldiers’ performance would be simr, even if slightly slower.
And even if there were slight differences, Wang Ye could help.
The veteran squad leaders couldn’t assist with folding nkets, as they were meant to test the recruits.
However, as fellow recruits, Wang Ye, as the vice ss monitor responsible for internal affairs in ss Five, was allowed to assist during inspections and evaluations, even if it wasn’t explicitly stated.
Therefore, the results were already determined.
“Hehe, Company Commander, this… this…” Ye Sanshi grinned, his eyes fixed on Wu Jianfeng’s hand.
Wu Jianfeng had been holding the moving red g the whole time.
“What are you afraid of? Could this belong to anyone else?” Wu Jianfeng rolled his eyes at Ye Sanshi, suddenly bing serious.
“Fifth ss monitor!”
“Present!”
“After evaluating the internal affairs results, ss Five is now awarded the moving red g. I hope that ss Five will continue to work hard and maintain this honor.”
“Yes, sir!” Ye Sanshi stood at attention and saluted, then received the moving red g from Wu Jianfeng with both hands.
With a wave of his hand, the moving red g unfolded. At that moment, Ye Sanshi couldn’t hide his smug expression as he looked toward the water room. But there was no one at the water room entrance. Or rather, no one dared to stand there. The ss monitors had all hidden inside. They couldn’t bear to see Ye Sanshi’s triumphant face. Moreover, they were even more ufortable due to the previous bet.
Losing the moving red g made them feel uneasy. But the idea of someone eating the nket was even more unbearable. How were they supposed to do that?
So, they could only hide…
“Company Commander, I believe that this internal affairs evaluation can be used to select internal affairs role models in advance,” Ye Sanshi said with a grin. His smile bloomed, and his gaze was fixed on Wu Jianfeng’s hand.
Wu Jianfeng held the moving red g all along.
“What an insightful ss monitor you are. Are you reading my mind? How did you know that 1 wanted to select an internal affairs role model?” In his heart, Wang Ye gave Ye Sanshi a thumbs up.
Being an internal affairs role model was Wang Ye’s aspiration.
During their conversation, Wang Ye learned from Ye Sanshi that internal affairs role models were usually selected monthly or weekly during internal affairs evaluations.
But generally, the first two weeks of the recruitpany were exempted from the selection.
This was because they had only recently joined the army, the recruits weren’t expected to excel in internal affairs and couldn’t serve as role models.
Unexpectedly, Ye Sanshi surprised him.
He took the initiative to rmend Wang Ye to thepanymander.
