Chapter 144, Lao Shen’s Military Training Experience (Subscription Request)
“I didn’t say I would definitely win the award.”
"It doesn't cost anything to give it a try anyway!"
Chen Min spread his hands. Zhou Gang was targeting the person instead of the matter.
She was too lazy to make too many excuses. The contract had been signed and the publishing process was already going through.
Nothing much to say!
"Anyway, I don't think this book is good. Where is the market for science fiction?"
"It's obviously a money-losing project!"
"Isn't it possible that Editor-in-Chief Chen is very familiar with the author?"
Just as Chen Min judged, Zhou Gang's move was directed at the person rather than the matter.
However, both Chen Min and President Cao Zizhou have become accustomed to this situation.
“That’s enough!”
"Hasn't the contract been signed?"
"There's no point in discussing this now!"
Cao Zizhou patted the table, turned to Chen Min and said, "Tell the printing factory about it. Print 20,000 copies of the first 30,000 copies. As for the remaining 10,000 copies, we'll see how the market responds."
"Let's adjourn the meeting!"
After saying that, Cao Zizhou stood up and strode out of the meeting room.
Zhou Gang said sarcastically: "I don't think it will sell even 20,000 copies."
"The already tight financial situation of the publishing house is about to get even worse!"
Chen Min was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. She put away the notes on the table for taking meeting minutes and returned to her office in her high heels.
Chen Min is personally optimistic about the book "The Three-Body Civilization".
But she had no idea about the sales volume, because there had never been a science fiction novel with good sales volume in the domestic market.
Sanjiang University.
stadium.
The military training for freshmen has begun.
Shen Qiushan, who is 183cm tall, stood at the head of the class.
The instructor of the first class of the Electrical Engineering Department was called Li Jun, a young non-commissioned officer in his early 20s with big pimples on his face.
It can be seen that he is not much older than the freshmen.
This situation is quite normal. The instructors who come to universities to give military training to students are all young and are basically non-commissioned officers in the army.
Sometimes, the instructors and students are of the same age, which is one of the reasons why some female college students often fall in love with their instructors during military training.
This was Li Jun's second time to carry out military training mission. For non-commissioned officers like them, carrying out military training mission was considered a "good job".
First of all, it's freer than being in the army.
Secondly, military training is much easier than their usual training.
Also, when you become an instructor, you might have a romantic encounter or something. It would be so prestigious to find a female college student as your girlfriend!
Therefore, when they go out to perform missions, instructors like Li Jun will inevitably discuss similar issues.
If I could be assigned to a department with more female students, this mission would be the best of the best!
However, Li Jun was obviously a bit "unlucky".
He was assigned to the first class of the Electrical Engineering Department as an instructor.
There are 38 students in the first class of the Department of Electrical Engineering, and there are only 8 girls, whose looks are hard to describe.
Instructor Li Jun's plan to find a girlfriend was completely shattered!
Not only that, there is also an old man in his thirties in this class.
It really opened his eyes!
"Everyone has it!"
"stand at attention!"
The September sun was strong and scorching. Not long after the military training began, many students were sweating profusely and said they couldn't stand it anymore.
But Shen Qiushan was able to handle it with ease, after all, he was a man with full endurance.
The physical exertion from military training is just a drop in the bucket for him!
A canopy was set up on the rostrum of the stadium, and all the school staff who were coordinating with the military training were here.
There are people from the Youth League Committee, people from the Logistics Department, and the majority are from the Student Union.
The number of freshmen in the 25th class of Sanjiang University reached 6,500, scattered across three different campuses. The main campus where Shen Qiushan is located has the largest number of students, about 3,500.
With so many freshmen undergoing military training at the same time, some emergencies are inevitable, so the school must provide logistical support throughout the process.
As the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee, Lin Xiamo is also a member of the military training support team, but her main responsibilities are the military training cultural evening, military song competitions, and the welcome party after the military training.
As a leader, Lin Xiamo didn't need to be on the scene. The reason she was willing to stay was mainly to see the military training of Shen Qiushan and her nephew and niece.
Especially for Shen Qiushan, she originally wanted to say hello to the school and exempt him from military training.
After all, he is 38 years old, and the school will definitely understand.
But Shen Qiushan himself insisted on participating, and Lin Xiamo wanted to see if he could really stick to it.
Less than two hours after the military training began, some students had already fainted from heat stroke.
This situation is quite common during military training over the years. Medical staff in charge of logistics and members of the student union take students suffering from heat stroke to a cool and ventilated place for treatment.
"The physical fitness of these students is really getting worse and worse."
"How long has it been since we started training?"
Yang Jianjun, the security supervisor of the logistics department, sighed as he fanned himself with a fan.
While speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiamo out of the corner of his eye.
He had long heard that the Youth League Committee had a new deputy secretary who was more beautiful than all the female teachers in the school.
I had only seen his back from a distance twice before, but today I finally had the chance to get up close and personal.
Just as the rumors said, both her appearance and figure are impeccable!
Yang Jianjun, the old bachelor, was naturally very excited, but he also knew that his conditions were far inferior to others.
But even so, he wanted to show himself in front of this beautiful deputy secretary, at least to strike up a conversation and become familiar with her.
At this moment, he had already moved close to Lin Xiamo. Although he seemed to be talking to himself, he actually hoped that Deputy Secretary Lin could talk to him.
But Lin Xiamo seemed not to hear it and just watched the military training formation on the track and field silently.
"Secretary Lin, do you want a fan?"
"It's so hot today!"
Seeing that Lin Xiamo didn't respond, Yang Jianjun simply took the initiative to show his courtesy.
"No, thank you."
Lin Xiamo had long noticed Yang Jianjun, the security director. She had met too many men like him.
Lin Xiamo knew their thoughts clearly.
As for men she is not interested in, Lin Xiamo usually takes the cold approach.
If there is work overlap, then talk about work directly. If the other party wants to talk about personal matters, then just forget it.
For example, at this moment, Lin Xiamo decisively and politely rejected Yang Jianjun's kindness.
Yang Jianjun was not discouraged after being rejected. After a moment's hesitation, he said with a smile, "Secretary Lin, I heard that you were just transferred to our school?"
"Um!"
Lin Xiamo responded in a cold voice, clearly showing a "refuse to chat" mode.
Yang Jianjun then continued, "I have been working at the school for eight years and I am very familiar with the area around the school. Secretary Lin, if you want to eat or play anything, just ask me."
"How about adding WeChat first?"
Lin Xiamo nodded and did not refuse, but the WeChat account she used to add Yang Jianjun was a small account specifically for adding such "flies".
Due to work reasons, it is impossible to refuse all requests from people like Yang Jianjun to add WeChat. After all, in workplaces like universities, human relations are very stable and can be handled coldly, but there is no need to make the relationship particularly stiff.
Yang Jianjun had no idea of the tricks of this beautiful secretary. After adding Lin Xiamo on WeChat, he immediately smiled and started thinking about how to conquer her.
The formation of Class 1 of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
Since the class next door got a chance to rest, a group of boys who were still standing at attention couldn't help but start complaining.
"Instructor, shouldn't we take a break?"
"Yes, yes, the class next door is on break."
"I feel like I'm going to pass out if I don't rest!"
"Everyone can rest, why can't we?"
Feng Sicong took the lead, and Bao Beibei, Sun Peng and others immediately followed suit.
Instructor Li Jun sternly yelled, "Quiet!"
"I've said it so many times."
"Raise your hand before you speak!"
"No organization, no discipline, just a pile of loose sand!"
Military training is already very hard, and Li Jun didn't mean to make things difficult for them on purpose. It was mainly because Feng Sicong, Bao Beibei and other new college students were too fragile.
There is no way. These students are immersed in mountains of books and seas of examinations during high school and have no time to exercise at all.
Therefore, physical fitness is generally poor!
"Report!"
Having learned his lesson, Feng Sicong raised his hand and shouted.
"explain!"
Li Jun frowned and looked at the other person.
Since this was not his first time as an instructor, he was already quite experienced and wanted to tame these students and make them obedient.
First of all, we have to deal with the “troublemakers” in the class!
And now, in his opinion, Feng Sicong is the troublemaker!
"Instructor, can we take a ten-minute break like the class next door?"
Feng Sicong said loudly.
"Is that not enough?"
“I really don’t know how you guys managed to get into college with your perseverance!”
Li Jun scolded with a dark face: "They are resting because they are good at training!"
"What about you? You don't even know how to stand at military posture!"
"Everyone, stand at ease!"
Swish~
Li Jun finished speaking.
Everyone immediately switched from standing at attention to at ease.
Just when everyone thought they could take a breath, Li Jun loudly issued an order: "Stand at attention!"
"Stand at attention for five minutes!"
Kao!
Upon hearing this, there was a sudden wailing in the square formation.
"Quiet!"
"In this state, you still want to rest?"
Li Jun glanced at the team with a cold face. As an instructor, he would not deliberately make things difficult for the students, but today was the first day of military training, so he still had to show his authority.
Impossible! Students can rest whenever they want and do whatever they want!
So, where is his authority as an instructor?
In particular, at this moment Li Jun discovered that the beautiful instructor of Class 1 of the Department of Electrical Engineering was walking towards their formation.
Before the military training began, he chatted with the beautiful counselor and she left a very good impression on him.
It even gave him a feeling of "after a dark tunnel there comes a new world".
Because the girls in the class couldn't stand it, his plan to use the military training as an opportunity to find a girlfriend basically failed.
Unexpectedly, this class has a young and beautiful counselor like Liu Qingwu.
This can be an opportunity for development.
"Well, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
"Well, don't you want to take a rest?"
"If any of you can beat me in a push-up contest, I'll let you rest for half an hour!"
"If you lose to me, you have to stand at attention for another half an hour!"
Seeing Liu Qingwu getting closer, Li Jun spoke loudly.
In his opinion, if he wanted to attract the attention of this beautiful counselor, showing off his strong physical fitness was undoubtedly a very good way.
The value of 200 push-ups!
Those who understand will understand!
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Sicong, Bao Beibei and others immediately looked around at other people.
Competing with the instructor in push-ups?
There's no chance of winning!
"MD, this is so sinister!"
Feng Sicong cursed in a low voice, comparing his strengths with their weaknesses, how could this be fair?
"Old Zhao, you are in good health, would you like to have a go?"
Feng Sicong knew his own limitations and knew that he was only at the level of 20 or 30 people. He immediately asked Zhao Hongyu who was standing behind him in a low voice.
“I can’t do that!”
Zhao Hongyu shook his head decisively. He was okay at doing the exercises, but he was really not good at doing push-ups.
"No one is willing to fight?"
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
Li Jun originally wanted to show off in front of Liu Qingwu, but he didn't expect these students to be so cowardly that not a single one stood up.
He even felt a little regretful. He had just said that the person who lost to him would have to stand at attention for an extra half hour.
I guess these guys were scared.
Feng Sicong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to stand up.
Bao Beibei, a young master from Shanghai, was already sweating profusely. He was cursing in his heart: Why don’t you compete with me to see whose family is richer!
Although the students were all holding back their energy, no one dared to step forward. Those who could be admitted to Sanjiang University were not fools; they all had self-awareness.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the front of the team.
"Report!"
"explain!"
“I’m signing up!”
