Fang Yang's eyes lit up. "Director Qi, do you think I can go for a visit tomorrow? I definitely won't go to any classified areas. I just want to see our female special forces team's live training. Of course, if it's convenient, it would be even better to bring the whole team along. It would also let them know the gap between themselves and a professional female special forces team, which might bring unexpected benefits for their training over the next two weeks."
Qi Minghua and Zhu Fangli exchanged a smile. "That's actually an option, but Mr. Fang, you must collect the phones before you go, and you must also promise not to leak any information from there. The female special forces team often goes on dangerous missions, and if their information is leaked, it might have a negative impact on them."
Fang Yang considered for a moment and said, "As for the phones, we can collect them all later. As for the concern about revealing their information, I have a suggestion. We can observe from the rooftop of a building or a mountain. I believe that at a distance of several hundred meters, even the best eyesight won't be able to see people's faces clearly."
Zhu Fangli chimed in, "That's fine. Actually, when it comes to confidentiality, even signing a confidentiality agreement can't guarantee it. But for a distance of a few hundred meters, there's no problem with safety. This way, we can see the training situation, which achieves the observation effect that President Fang wanted."
Dong Jianjie, who had been silent all along, agreed, "That's a good idea. Let these grown men see the prowess of our female special forces team. Otherwise, they'll be complaining all day long."
Fang Yang laughed and said, "Platoon Leader Dong, don't underestimate our group of actors. There are twelve retired special forces soldiers among them. This kind of training is nothing new to them. They maintain normal training every day at the company. Compared to active special forces members, they are not at all inferior. Platoon Leader Dong can tell at a glance."
Following Fang Yang's directions, Dong Jianjie looked at Fang Hai and the others. Their military bearing was immediately apparent. "Hmm, they don't look very old. They must have retired not long ago, right?"
“My brother retired the year before last. Some of his comrades-in-arms were among those who retired this year. This year, our company recruited 100 veterans in Xihu. In the coming year, we will need at least 1,000 more veterans to fill the security department. Director Qi, you have resources in this area, so you can consider cooperating with us. We can accept all special veterans. For ordinary veterans, apart from those from the Xihu area, we can give you a considerable number of slots.”
Qi Minghua laughed and said, "I didn't expect President Fang to come all this way and bring us benefits. I would like to thank President Fang for his help. Let's make it a date. When the demobilization season comes, we hope that President Fang will come and take over. In particular, several female special forces members are retiring this year. I believe President Fang will be very interested. Our army also welcomes responsible entrepreneurs like President Fang to come and cooperate."
Fang Yang chuckled. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain. The company has so many female artists and was just worried about not having female bodyguards. Now he has several targets, which is perfect.
"Thank you for your trust, Director Qi. Our company happens to have many female artists who lack female bodyguards. Director Qi has solved our urgent problem. Our benefits are very generous, and I believe these female special forces members will be very satisfied."
Fang Yang offered his assurances at the opportune moment, as these were excellent resources that many departments were in dire need of. Qi Minghua was willing to agree, probably because of Zhou Lujun's influence. Fang Yang's timely verbal promise to accept demobilized soldiers was a great gift, so why wouldn't he take advantage of the situation and accept it first?
Qi Minghua was also very happy. Now that the policy of assigning jobs to demobilized soldiers has been abolished, many demobilized soldiers are at a loss after returning home. Because of their low education level, they can only do manual labor. Their meager income makes it difficult to support their families or even themselves. Now that he can find a good job for his soldiers, even Qi Minghua, who is in a high position, is all smiles.
After patting Fang Yang on the shoulder, Qi Minghua instructed Dong Jianjie and Zhu Fangli, "Then follow President Fang's wishes. Tomorrow, you two take some people to observe. Don't disturb the members of the women's special forces team; just let them train normally."
Dong Jianjie and Zhu Fangli simultaneously straightened their chests and saluted, "Yes, sir!"
Qi Minghua glanced at the time. "President Fang, why don't we head over first? It's almost dinner time, and it'll be perfect to go from here."
Fang Yang glanced at the time and saw that it was already past five o'clock. He hurriedly asked Fang Hai to move the wine to Qi Minghua's car. The bus that had brought everyone here had already returned to Shanghai, so Fang Hai had temporarily left the wine at his dormitory. Now it was just right to move it to Qi Minghua's car to serve as the wine for the evening's reception. He didn't know if it would be enough!
The next day, when Fang Yang woke up from his daze, the sunlight was already shining through the window onto the head of the bed. Looking around the unfamiliar room, Fang Yang didn't know where he was for a moment. He stared at the ceiling for a while before he remembered that he had drunk so much with Zhou Lujun and his gang of big shots that he had blacked out. No wonder they were all big shots in high positions; drinking was like drinking water for them, one cup after another!
There was a knock at the door. Fang Yang suppressed his nausea, got up and opened the door. Qi Minghua was standing in the doorway with a smile. "President Fang, did you sleep well last night? Why don't you get up and have some porridge to warm your stomach?"
It would have been better if Qi Minghua hadn't mentioned it, because as soon as he did, Fang Yang felt a ravenous hunger in his stomach, as if he hadn't eaten for days and nights, and he felt weak all over.
"Director Qi, please wait a moment. I need to wash up first. You brought me home last night, right? Thank you for taking care of me. I'm so sorry, I made a huge fool of myself!"
Qi Minghua laughed and said, "President Fang, please don't make fun of me. You became famous in our military region last night for getting the political commissar and the deputy commander drunk. You can't find another person like that in our military region!"
Fang Yang paused, "Is that so? I blacked out last night, I really can't remember."
Qi Minghua chuckled. Although he didn't intend to target Fang Yang last night, almost everyone at the table drank several cups with him. They finished two cases of 52° Maotai, and then brought out a few more. On average, each person drank almost three jin (1.5 kg). It's no wonder they were all so full. The big shots are still fast asleep!
After drinking two large bowls of white rice porridge, Fang Yang finally felt alive again. His stomach felt warm, suppressing the nausea. He then ate two steamed buns and sighed comfortably, "Director Qi, when can we go and watch the women's special forces team's training? Have they already gone?"
"Mr. Fang, you can go now that you've eaten. They should be rested enough after their meal. There should be obstacle courses and other routine training in the morning."
