Chapter 193: Good News and Bad News



Ruan Suhe continued to explain calmly and emphasized that when cutting the clothes this time, ten more pieces of each size must be cut, and the total number of each style must be exactly one hundred.

The entire meeting lasted about thirty minutes. If it had been longer, Ruan Suhe herself would not have been able to hold on.

After all, as a hard-working worker in her previous life, she hated meetings the most!

After informing everyone to dismiss, the employees returned to their workstations.

This time, Zhang Liting did not disagree with the limit of one hundred pieces of each clothing item. After learning from her mistakes, Zhang Liting did not want the trouble that happened today to happen again.

After Ruan Suhe went through every link in the garment factory from beginning to end and once again emphasized the requirement that the new version of clothing should be in short supply, she said goodbye to Zhang Liting and Fang Yanzhou and hurried to the military headquarters on her bicycle.

On her way there by bike, she was calm and composed, and even recalled some common English and French sentence patterns in her mind.

When she arrived at the military headquarters, she parked her car in the carport, locked it, and walked slowly towards Commander Fu's office.

Commander Fu was not in the office. His guard knew Ruan Suhe and took her to a desk.

...

...

"Comrade Ruan, this is the information that the commander asked me to prepare for translation in advance. You should familiarize yourself with it first. You can put the others aside. This one describes the specific design details and steps of the gun in detail, so you need to translate it first."

After Ruan Suhe nodded to indicate that he understood, the guard had a strong sense of boundaries and returned to his desk to continue working.

She first picked up the book introducing gun design, studied it for a while, and found that she was familiar with most of the words in it, so she started translating directly.

Soon, lines of translated Chinese characters appeared on the red checkered letter paper on the table.

At the beginning, she found it a bit difficult as she needed to look up some grammar and professional terms in the dictionary.

However, practice always makes perfect. After she memorized the special professional terms, her translation speed became faster as time went on.

"Comrade Xiao Ruan is here? Excuse me, I just attended an emergency meeting. How was the translation? Did you find it difficult?"

About an hour later, Commander Fu came back from the meeting. As soon as he entered the room, he found her and asked her immediately, but his face was not as rosy as usual.

"Commander, this time it's a little harder than last time, but it doesn't matter. I have the help of the dictionary. Once I'm familiar with it, my speed will increase."

She was worried that the translation was needed urgently, so she explained quickly.

"Well... there's no rush. You're in a special situation right now, so the translation deadline I applied for you is relatively long. This one has a week."

"Um...Xiao Ruan...I have some not-so-good news. I think you need to know."

The first half of Commander Fu's sentence made her feel less anxious, but the second half whetted her appetite.

Ruan Suhe's mind flashed back to the nightmare she had that night, "Commander! Could it be... Zhengxiang..."

She didn't dare to say or think about the second half of the sentence at all.

"Don't worry yet. We haven't received any particularly accurate information yet. The superiors just said that Zhengxiang lit a flare to request support."

The four words "Request for Support" circled around Ruan Suhe's mind 360 degrees, "Commander, will he be injured?"

It is said that worrying too much will lead to confusion, and this is the only question that comes to her mind first.

"Well... this flare is only allowed to be used when it is confirmed that the team has suffered heavy casualties, but... I can be sure that his life should not be in danger for the time being..."

Commander Fu only knew the news from the front line. The reason why he held an emergency meeting just now was to discuss the need to reinforce Lu Zhengxiang's teammates.

"For now? The commander has no more reliable news?" Ruan Suhe didn't quite believe the words he heard and asked back.

Commander Fu did not answer, but just shook his head slowly.

"However, there is a chance that I think you can give it a try." Commander Fu looked at her visibly decadent figure and tried to change the subject.

"You go on." Ruan Suhe raised her head and let Commander Fu continue, but she didn't hold much hope in her heart.

"It's like this. Next month, the superiors will meet with the mechanical specialists from Country Y and Country M. We are currently short of diplomats in this field."

At this point, Commander Fu paused tactically and said, "I think Comrade Xiao Ruan is very suitable, but if you want to be a diplomat this time, you need to take a special test in the team."

She knew that since Commander Fu had said this, it meant that he had recommended her.

"Commander, I can take the test for this diplomat, but I don't know if I can pass the assessment. Can I know the abilities of other competitors?"

Ruan Suhe forced herself to calm down and asked questions about her needs.

"Well... there is a competitor. I heard that he is a top student in the Foreign Language Department of Hua University. As for his ability, I have no way of knowing."

When Commander Fu saw that her train of thought changed quickly, he knew that his method should be useful, and he answered her seriously.

Ruan Suhe thought that since she was a top student in the university, her abilities should not be much different from when she just graduated from university in her previous life, so she felt more confident.

"Commander, can I ask you, no matter when you find out about Zhengxiang's situation, can you let someone tell me as quickly as possible?"

"As his wife, I should be the first to know his information. Don't worry, I will never lose control..."

"I'll do my best, Comrade Xiao Ruan."

Commander Fu was not 100% sure about this matter.

She knew that as a soldier, one must do what he said. With Commander Fu's words, she felt more at ease.

In the following time, although she was a little absent-minded while translating and her speed was a little slower, the accuracy of the content was not affected at all.

The sun quickly hid behind the mountain and the entire sky darkened.

"Hiss!" Lu Zhengxiang pulled his injured right leg and covered his arm that was accidentally shot in the gunfight. He tried his best to hold his breath so that people outside the haystack would not notice his hiding place.

That’s right, in such a short time, he not only experienced escaping from the minefield, but also watched his teammates being blown to pieces by mines. He had no choice but to be forced to fire the only flare.

He also fought a gun battle with the enemy who attacked him by surprise and bought himself a chance to hide.

Haha, it seems that someone really wants to kill him.

There was a hint of meaning in Lu Zhengxiang's eyes. It seemed that his hiding his incompetence over the years would soon come in handy.
