"Based on the above points, I personally believe that Comrade Leng Yingying is fully qualified for a promotion beyond the usual ranks to become a deputy battalion commander," Tang Xiaoshuang said.
Actually, she was still conservative.
When submitting the list, Tang Xiaoshuang hesitated about whether to put Leng Yingying directly on the candidate list for battalion commander, but she felt it was better to play it safe.
The bomb's contribution was indeed remarkable, but Tang Xiaoshuang had to be careful. After all, skipping two levels in a row would easily attract gossip, and what if it ended up harming Leng Yingying?
After much deliberation, Tang Xiaoshuang decided to only give Leng Yingying a one-level skip.
She believed that Leng Yingying's contributions to the bomb research were enough to qualify her for a promotion to deputy battalion commander.
Once she skips the minimum three-year term and gets promoted, it's only a matter of time before she becomes a battalion commander, given her talent.
"What?! It's her?!" Mo Cheng was stunned.
He had previously looked down on Leng Yingying, thinking that Tang Xiaoshuang wouldn't say anything, but it turned out that she had a big surprise.
Bomb research!
Moreover, the head of the bomb research group has been quite high-profile lately because of the latest research, eager to praise his group's achievements to everyone he meets.
It turns out the truly formidable person was Leng Yingying!
The explosives research group wasn't usually this high-profile, but recently, they received a document from above specifically praising them!
"Comrade Leng actually knows about explosives research?" Wu Hongyi was very shocked. He didn't expect Leng Yingying to be even more outstanding than he had imagined.
He was even a little jealous. How could Tang Xiaoshuang, a regimental commander, have such a talented person under his command?
If it weren't for watching Leng Ying's film and television female soldiers, he might have actually shamelessly tried to poach them.
"That mercury bomb, was it Leng Yingying who researched it?" Division Commander Zhou was also surprised. He had just gone to the explosion site with the army commander a few days ago and was extremely shocked at the time.
It seems these leaders are quick to get information, but not comprehensive enough.
Everyone knew about the new explosives in the military, but no one knew that these explosives were all made by the same person.
[Heh heh, ignorant humans. This little shock will do you the trick. These bombs are nothing. This queen has many more, much more powerful bombs at her disposal. It's just that the conditions aren't right; the accuracy and purity aren't sufficient. Otherwise, heh heh... I'd scare you to death!]
[A tiny mercury bomb, just a splash...]
Qiao Shouyan: "..."
Although he didn't quite understand what "sprinkling water" meant, he could roughly guess from Leng Yingying's smug tone.
Liu Yuying was also extremely shocked. She knew that her future second daughter-in-law was capable, but she never dared to imagine that she was this capable. It turned out that the new bombs that had recently been produced in the army were all made by her!
No wonder she always calls herself a queen; with her abilities, she truly deserves the title of queen.
It's important to know that bombs are far more lethal than handguns.
Of course, weapons should not be compared in this way; the point is to emphasize that a good bomb can play a huge role on the battlefield and also serve as a deterrent to enemy countries.
"Talented people emerge in every generation! I never expected that our army would have such an amazing female soldier!" Many superiors praised Leng Yingying.
Tang Xiaoshuang maintained his composed demeanor and asked, "Leaders, is Leng Yingying now qualified to run for deputy battalion commander?"
Mo Cheng, who had initially raised the questions, now fell silent.
If contributions like participating in the research of explosives are not considered major achievements, then that is truly unreasonable.
"In that case, we agree to let Comrade Leng Yingying run for deputy battalion commander," Commander Zhou said.
Liu Yuying and Qiao Shouyan exchanged glances.
Since Leng Yingying is qualified to be elected, they, as her future family, definitely have to vote for her. Their only concern is whether they will have enough votes...
Having secured the right to run for office, Tang Xiaoshuang felt much more at ease.
The election continued, and after rounds of voting, Leng Yingying finally became the deputy battalion commander, skipping the company commander level!
At this moment, Leng Yingying was filled with enthusiasm!
[Sure enough, I knew it! Relying on others is unreliable; only relying on yourself is truly the best!]
My career won't betray me. As long as I keep pushing forward and working hard, good days are waiting for me!
Holding her letter of appointment as deputy battalion commander, Leng Yingying felt a surge of pride and wanted to smile at everything she saw.
However, there was one thing that surprised her as well.
She was there when Tang Xiaoshuang helped her secure her candidacy, but the key to her success was the number of votes, and the fact that many people voted for her was something she hadn't expected.
In particular, many high-ranking leaders voted for Leng Yingying during the deputy battalion commander election.
The reasons are quite simple. First, participating in explosives research is indeed a significant achievement, and the leaders cannot turn a blind eye to it. Second, they are willing to curry favor with and win over talented people like Leng Yingying.
This vote can demonstrate one's integrity and selflessness, and also show goodwill to talented people. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Who would not choose it?
After the promotion ceremony, Tang Xiaoshuang called Leng Yingying over.
"Commander Tang!" Leng Yingying said respectfully.
[Sister Shuang, sob sob... You're so good to me, I know everything you've done for me! I love you, I love you, I love you!]
Tang Xiaoshuang remained expressionless as he looked at the deputy battalion commander's appointment letter tucked in Leng Yingying's arms and said coldly, "Now that you've been promoted to deputy battalion commander, you must continue to work hard. You have a long road ahead of you."
"Yes!" Leng Yingying nodded vigorously. "I will definitely work hard and live up to the opportunity that Commander Tang helped me obtain!"
Tang Xiaoshuang glanced at Leng Yingying and said, "It's because you have the ability. Opportunity is for those who are prepared."
Leaders may be eager to compete and vie for power, but if their subordinates lack ability, nothing will be accomplished.
In Tang Xiaoshuang's view, it was her duty to fight for her subordinates, and it was nothing to mention. Leng Yingying's success was mainly due to her own abilities.
If Leng Yingying hadn't worked so hard and had talent and ability in explosives research, Tang Xiaoshuang wouldn't have been able to win anything.
[As expected of my Shuang-jie! She helped me so much, and she still has this cold attitude...]
[I declare that, besides the female lead, Shuang Jie is my favorite person!]
"There's something else I need to tell you."
Leng Yingying looked at Tang Xiaoshuang intently.
"Now that you're a deputy battalion commander, according to the military's benefits, you can apply for a house in the family compound. Do you need one?" Tang Xiaoshuang asked.
“This…” Leng Yingying hesitated.
[The family compound houses? Aren't those for families to come and join me in the military? I don't have any family members who can come and join me...]
[By the way, the original owner did have a family of vampires. They even wrote a letter saying they wanted to buy a house in the capital, but what does that have to do with me? I won't let them suck my blood!]
