Chapter 258
Zhou Ningyan was thinking quickly in her mind how to get this opportunity.
Although Su Jindong is the grandson of Commander Su, he also started as an ordinary soldier at the grassroots level in the army.
It can be seen that Commander Su may also be quite disgusted with using connections to get through the back door.
So, how should she start?
Zhou Ningyan was thinking about this matter and felt a little distracted the whole day.
In the evening, she finally found an opportunity to run out and meet Su Jindong.
After receiving Zhou Ningyan's note, Su Jindong packed up early and went to wait on the hillside behind the mountain.
Seeing Zhou Ningyan coming towards him from afar, Su Jindong quickly stood up, straightened his collar, patted his clothes, and looked at Zhou Ningyan with a smile in his eyes.
"Comrade Ning Yan, here!"
Zhou Ningyan also saw Su Jindong, adjusted her most standard smile, revealing eight pearly teeth, then lowered her head slightly, and her pair of deer-like eyes raised shyly.
This is the expression and posture she practiced in front of the mirror for a long time. It is her most beautiful look.
Sure enough, Su Jindong was already laughing like a fool.
"Comrade Ning Yan~"
Zhou Ningyan stamped her feet as if embarrassed, "Brother Jindong!"
"If you do this again, I'll be angry!"
Su Jindong withdrew his burning gaze and touched his nose awkwardly.
Then, as if he remembered something, he handed over the bag of snacks in his hand.
"I brought it for you."
"What?"
"My sister sent me dried fish!"
Zhou Ningyan opened the oil paper bag, pinched out a piece, gently tore off a small piece, and put it into her mouth politely. It tasted salty, spicy and fragrant.
"Mm, delicious."
Seeing that Zhou Ningyan liked it, Su Jindong immediately introduced it to her like a treasure.
"Do you like it? I'll bring you some next time."
"My sister mailed me a lot of them. They're great with steamed buns or as a snack."
"She said that they marinated the dried fish with various spices, cut it into pieces, soaked it in water to remove the strong salt taste, and then marinated it again with various spices, and then..."
Zhou Ningyan's eyes flashed with impatience. She didn't want to listen to his useless talk at all.
Such a grown man with a good family background, he only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and doesn't know how to use his family connections to climb up the ladder. Now he is still a small squad leader.
He is really useless and has wasted such a good background.
"Brother Jindong, thank you for bringing me snacks."
"By the way, we heard that our company has two spots available for further study at the military academy. Did you know?"
Su Jindong was a little stunned. "Are you talking about the place to study at the Military Medical University?"
Zhou Ningyan's eyes lit up, "You know?"
"Yes, yes, that's the place at the Military Medical University."
"I heard that the higher-ups and the chief recommended the medics based on their performance?"
Su Jindong smiled broad-mindedly, "I don't know either. Our deputy monitor's partner is also in the medical team, so I've heard him talk about it."
"It seems to be about learning first aid, escorting critically ill patients to the hospital, self-rescue and mutual rescue, and military medical courses."
"I heard him mention it once."
Zhou Ningyan asked cautiously, "Brother Jindong, aren't you the commander's grandson? Did you hear what he said?"
"If it's just based on recommendations from higher-ups, isn't that too unfair?"
"Some comrades who perform well but don't have connections are being bullied for nothing."
Su Jindong thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Isn't it said that it depends on individual performance? The leaders won't randomly recommend players with poor performance, after all, everyone is watching!"
Zhou Ningyan complained, "How could it not happen? I've heard that Comrade Wang Huan from Team 2, her aunt is the logistics director, and Sister Xiaoyu from our battalion, her uncle is the deputy regimental commander!"
"Everyone is talking about our group's targets now, and they might just fall on them."
Su Jindong finally felt Zhou Ningyan's emotional fluctuations.
"Ning Yan, do you also want this place for further studies?"
Zhou Ningyan made no secret of it, "Yes, I want to go, but I don't have the connections and background like them, and I'm not familiar with the leaders above me, so I definitely can't compete with them!"
"You come to the medical team quite often, and you can see that I'm no worse than any of them, both in terms of work and personal performance."
"While they were resting, I was studying. While they were chatting, I diligently finished my own shift and then took over theirs. So, if there wasn't a fair and formal assessment or selection process, I wouldn't be willing to do that."
Su Jindong looked at Zhou Ningyan with a distressed look on his face, "Ningyan, did they bully you?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'll go find your instructor later!"
"Brother Jindong! Are you listening to what I'm saying?"
"I'm from a remote area. I don't have any protection in the team. They have every right to bully me. Even if I find the instructor, will it change the situation?"
"There are always times when the team needs to take the initiative to rotate. At this time, everyone says they can't go. Can I do it?"
"Even if they told the instructor and the instructor verbally warned them, what about when the instructor is not around?"
"Then I'll be isolated and even ostracized by everyone, accused of being a snitch."
"You were born in a big city, and you have your grandfather's protection. No one in the team dares to bully you. You have no idea how fierce the competition is among the lower-level soldiers."
"I'm different from you. I don't have any right to say no!"
“So, I have to work harder than others.”
Seeing Su Jindong standing there in a daze, Zhou Ningyan realized that her tone was too harsh, so she immediately lowered her brows and spoke gently.
"Putting all that aside, I also love being a military doctor. My dream since I was little has been to be a health guardian who can race against death on the battlefield and save the dying amidst hail of bullets!"
"I love my country and I love this job!"
Zhou Ningyan felt annoyed when she saw that Su Jindong still hadn't responded even after she had said so much.
She took the initiative to hold Su Jindong's hand and said pleadingly, "Brother Jindong, this opportunity is too important to me."
"Can you help me?"
"I'm not doing this for myself, but also for our relationship..."
"There's a huge gap between your status and mine. I've always been afraid that your family will oppose our relationship."
"If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't say anything, but if it were a formal assessment, I'm absolutely confident I could get the spot!"
"So, Brother Jindong, can you...can you...mention me to Grandpa and give me a recommendation?"
Su Jindong's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't refuse his lover's pitiful plea.
"I, I, how about I try to mention it to my grandfather next time I meet him?"
Zhou Ningyan finally showed a happy smile and kissed Su Jindong on the cheek.
Su Jindong's face turned red instantly, and he was too embarrassed to look at Zhou Ningyan.
But my heart felt like it was filled with honey, and I kept my mouth shut throughout the entire date.
At this time, let alone a place for further studies, he would not hesitate even if his life was taken.
After the two met, Zhou Ningyan walked briskly towards the company dormitory.
I was in a very good mood because I had accomplished something big.
Just as she was about to reach the company wall, Su Changan, who had been waiting by the roadside, blocked her way with a look of contempt.
