Chapter 60: He knew that today...
Chapter 60: Going to Work
After they fell asleep, Yan Jiuru hugged his wife and whispered, "Are you a little nervous?"
When Chen Yin gets nervous, she keeps packing things and so on. In short, she has no time to rest.
They had been married for two years, and he had figured out some patterns.
Chen Yin hummed softly in his arms.
He went from the Xinghua Brigade to the capital city of China in one fell swoop, and even became a secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. It is no exaggeration to say that he soared to heaven.
Likewise, this huge difference inevitably made her feel uneasy and uneasy.
Yan Jiuru now has the consciousness of a demon lord in his bones. He has never felt inferior and has never thought about these things.
The man gently stroked the woman's long hair. "Don't worry. It might take some getting used to at first, but after that, you'll be just as good as anyone else."
“
Besides, it was Deputy Minister Qiao who wanted to go there personally. He knows that we are from the countryside and he will definitely not assign us any important tasks right away.
Let's just watch more, listen more, learn more, and don't worry about anything else."

The next morning, the two woke up to a ready-made breakfast. Yan Niang had gotten up early to make hand-rolled noodles, a stew of sour beans and minced meat, and a poached egg.
"All is well with you both!"
The two men pushed their bicycles out of the door that was opened on the side of the second courtyard. The four elders stood at the door, some far away and some near, watching them go.
This is not about farming. They don't understand what it's like to work in a big city, and they don't dare to ask too much.
Alas, all these old people can do is to keep the house in good order and not hold their children back.
There were many people rushing to work in the morning, and bicycles were passing by on the street. The two had to separate when they reached Chang'an Avenue because their units were not in the same direction.
"Calm down, Yinyin. If anyone tries to trip you up, tell me and I'll help you vent your anger!"
Chen Yin had already come to terms with it last night. She waved her hand and said, "You too. If any woman gets too close to you, remember to tell me. I'll slap her!"
Yan Jiuru pointed at her from a distance: You are so nice, Chen Yin, it turns out you are such a hot little girl!
Watching Chen Yin gradually disappear into the distance, Yan Jiuru stepped on the bicycle with force and whizzed off in the other direction to join the traffic of people going to work.

Codenamed 107, the full name is the 107th Research Institute of the People's Liberation Army of New Xuan Country. It is actually located in a large courtyard in the west of the city. It has a classical style. In addition to several office buildings distributed like scattered beads, there are also pavilions, terraces, and waterside corridors.
But now it is a bitterly cold winter, and everything is covered with ice and snow.
"Hello, comrade, please show me your ID!"
After the guard outside the gate verified his ID, Yan Jiuru simply hung the ID around his neck and rode in the wind for more than ten minutes, crossing half of the courtyard and arriving at Building No. 7.
The guard in the army green cotton coat in front of the building saluted him again. After checking his ID again, Yan Jiuru entered the office building.
This is a necessary step in going to work every day, because Institute 107 is a state-level confidential unit.
***
The first thing I did when I went to work today was a physical fitness test and a live-fire shooting test, and then there was a special ability test.
In the 107th Institute, you can't just say whatever you want. Once you come here, everything has to be retested.
He was the only one from the 107th Institute taking the test today. In the words of Director Wu, "In our department, we don't rely on quantity, but on quality!"
Although Yan Jiuru was the only person taking the test, the people who followed him to observe, record and witness the event filled three jeeps and rushed to the training ground at Xishan Base.
***
Xishan Base Training Ground.
As soon as everyone arrived here, they felt what it meant to have "fighting spirit as strong as a rainbow and killing cries shaking the sky."
On the huge training ground, many groups of soldiers were practicing assassination, gun-holding, or various tactical training under the leadership of the instructor.
Although it is the middle of winter, the entire training ground is bustling with activity.
Seeing them arrive, several people who were originally watching the training hurried over to greet them. Seeing them salute and greet them, Yan Jiuru realized that the person following behind their car was actually the No. 2 leader!
Lord Demon certainly knew what this meant. He knew that no matter what he did today, he had to give it his all and make sure to leave a deep impression on the second-in-command!
Director Wu was a protective person. After greeting his comrades in the army, he did not forget to show off his favorite general, "Come, let me introduce you. This is our new comrade Yan Jiuru from the 107th Institute."
"This is the second-in-command!"
"This is Deputy Commander Xue, Chief of Staff Wang, Division Commander Chen, and Political Commissar Liao of the garrison."
Regardless of whether he was in uniform or not, Yan Jiuru saluted everyone and shouted, "Hello, Chief!"
The second-in-command was very friendly. He looked at his height and praised him, "Not bad. Have you always been tall? Or are all your family members tall?"
Yan Jiuru bared his white teeth and replied, "Commander, my grandfather and my father are both over 1.75 meters tall, but I've only grown taller in the last two years."
He had been eating well and getting enough to eat since he awakened, and with the help of his spiritual sense, he grew a little taller almost every month. Before he knew it, he was now about 1.85 meters tall.
He himself is generally satisfied with this height.
"It's just a waste of fabric and food."
"Hahaha, the little guy is quite humorous!" The No. 2 leader nodded at him a few times and talked about him to Director Wu and others with a smile.
***
After a brief chat, Director Wu discussed with several other leaders how to arrange for him.
Deputy Commander Xue looked him over and nodded, saying, "Since this is a test, and they're just about to conduct live-fire training, let's have Comrade Yan Jiuru compete with our newly selected talents."
Yan Jiuru naturally had no objection.
The group then went to the shooting range, where real soldiers were training. There were no targets of 100 meters or 200 meters. The starting point was 400 meters, then 600, 700, and 800 meters.
Yan Jiuru still took a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. This time he did not hold back. From lying to standing shooting positions, he scored ten rings every time. Even at the maximum range of the Type 56 rifle, he still scored ten rings!
"hiss--"
The leaders of the garrison were reluctant to let go.
Deputy Commander Xue frowned and said, "Why hasn't such a promising young man signed up to join the army? What a waste!"
Director Wu said with a serious face, "It's not a waste to contribute to the country at the 107th Institute."
He was just borrowing the space, but who would have thought he was going to fleece him? Humph, that's a dead end!
He hurriedly told the second-in-command, "This is someone I specifically asked to come here. I can't give him to anyone who likes him."
Number Two laughed out loud.
Commander Chen, who was also excited about the sight of prey, had already called out to the gunner at the shooting range: "Go get that sniper!"
Now it was Director Wu who let out a hiss.
You know, we don't have this thing in our country. According to the information he received, it was recently obtained in the south. There are only a few of them in total. They are mainly used for firearms research, and only a small number have been distributed.
The garrison troops of Yancheng have a special status and heavy responsibilities, so they are divided into two groups.
Yan Jiuru was truly enlightened.
It was the first time he saw the famous 'sniper rifle'.
Commander Chen personally took the lead and acted as a temporary coach. He disassembled the weapon and explained how to use it to the leaders on the spot, and then taught Yan Jiuru step by step how to aim and shoot.
"Try your hand on the 600-meter and 800-meter targets first."
It was the first time that Yan Jiuru used a gun with a scope. Looking at the magnified target through the lens, he felt deeply moved that the humans here were really capable of research and there was indeed something worth learning.
“Bang, bang!”
Yan Jiuru first fired two shots at the 600-meter target to feel the performance of the gun, mainly the recoil and the impact of vibration on shooting accuracy. He then tried to get a feel for the gun at the 800-meter target. Although both shots were ten rings, it was nothing with a scope.
"Below are the 1,000-meter and 1,200-meter targets, as well as the 800-meter and 1,000-meter moving targets..."
As long as he is within the range of the gun, let alone with the help of a scope, even without it, Yan Jiuru can still hit the target with every shot.
"Oh my god, this is a sharpshooter!"
"No, it would be a shame if such a promising young man doesn't join the army. Well... "
"Go away, what are you talking about? I'm telling you, this is someone from our 107th Institute! I worked so hard to get this person, I'll be furious if anyone tries to steal this person from me!"
***
After driving away the army leader who was reluctant to leave and still trying to persuade Yan Jiuru to join the special army, Director Wu dismissed the other accompanying personnel and gave Yan Jiuru the most important test order of the day:
"There's a piece of shrapnel stuck in the Second Commander's body that hasn't been removed. Can you see where it is?"
Yan Jiuru glanced at Director Wu. As everyone knew, the second-in-command’s arm had been injured and hadn’t recovered to its original state yet. However…
Yan Jiuru nodded, saluted the second-in-command, and said, "This may be offensive, I hope you don't mind."
The second-in-command stood there calmly, letting him look at him, without any hint of blame. He even comforted him: "It's okay, comrade. This was my suggestion."
After all, he is the only one who knows his own injuries best.
Yan Jiuru carefully scanned the No. 2 leader's body from head to toe, frowned slightly, and said to Director Wu, "Should we talk about this here?"
Director Wu looked at the second-in-command.
The second-in-command nodded and said, "Let's talk about it here. Only the three of us know."
Yan Jiuru shook his head. "I see you have two wounds on your body, Commander." He pointed to his elbow. "There's a shrapnel that's grown into the flesh and connected to the fascia. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to remove."
He pointed to his left shoulder again, "There's also a shrapnel here, the size of a fingernail, embedded in the bone."
The second-in-command nodded to Director Wu. This injury had never been made public, so it was true that it could be "seen".
"Very good, Comrade Xiaoyan is very impressive."
Director Wu also smiled relaxedly, "It seems that he still has some skills."
When he heard that he could see substances that were invisible to the naked eye, he was a little skeptical and had to verify it carefully.
Before verification, he actually felt a little uneasy.
***
"Um, Chief~" Yan Jiuru hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
"What's wrong?"
Director Wu thought, they wouldn't tell him that there would be damage after using the power, right?
Yan Jiuru saluted him and the second-in-command solemnly and said, "I have another discovery, but I don't know whether I should tell you."
Director Wu and the second-in-command exchanged glances, and Director Wu asked with an extremely cautious expression, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Number Two nodded: "Don't be afraid, little comrade, just tell me what you want!"
He has gone through gunfire and rain of bullets, and wade through the unpredictable human hearts, so there is nothing he cannot listen to.
Yan Jiuru said seriously, "Commander, you have an intestinal disease, and I see that it will greatly affect your physical health. In addition, your energy is overdrawn. If you don't get treatment and improve it as soon as possible, you may only have, um, no more than five years to live."
Director Wu's head buzzed, and he saw Yan Jiuru's mouth opening and closing, and he was completely stunned.
I can't hear any sound!
The second-in-command, on the other hand, was very calm. He looked at Yan Jiuru again, nodded slowly, and asked him carefully, "How serious do you think it is?"
Yan Jiuru's consciousness swept over again, "I don't understand medical knowledge, but if we use the ten-point method, your condition has reached six or seven points. You should be able to feel this yourself."
He paused. "If you trust me, let's go to my office for ten minutes and I can take care of it. But I'm not a doctor. I can only temporarily delay the outbreak for three to five months, but it's not a cure."
"Then I'll trouble you, little comrade!"
The second-in-command was quite open-minded. He laughed heartily and said to Director Wu, who had tears in his eyes, "I'll be bothering you guys for a bit at noon."
