At Fang Jianmin's signal, Song Lan quickly stood in the assembled line.
Wang Qiuping then stepped up and stood in her place in the group.
Even though Wang Qiuping is nearly fifty years old and works in a clerical position in the security department, she has never missed any of the daily simple training sessions.
When physical training began, Song Lan's performance not only left the young men in the security department speechless, but also amazed and impressed Fang Jianmin and Wang Qiuping.
He worked tirelessly, just as hard as the male comrades in the security department. In fact, he went from being a little unfamiliar with the job to doing it even better than the men. The most important thing is that he didn't even seem to be out of breath. If he were in the army, he would definitely be a good prospect!
"What a pity!"
"Um?"
"What, am I wrong?"
At this moment, Song Lan went with the team to practice shooting. Outside the shooting range, Wang Qiuping and Fang Jianmin stood together. She looked at Song Lan and couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, Fang Jianmin gave her a look that didn't seem to understand.
Seeing this, Wang Qiuping raised her eyebrows and waited for Fang Jianmin to express his opinion.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
Fang Jianmin looked puzzled.
"I said that little Song is a pity, did you hear me clearly now?"
Wang Qiuping looked completely annoyed.
Fang Jianmin, however, became increasingly puzzled: "Why do you say that?"
"Are you really unaware or just pretending?" Wang Qiuping sneered at Fang Jianmin. "You're a former soldier, how could you not see that Xiao Song is a perfect candidate for enlistment?!"
"So that's what you regret." Fang Jianmin suddenly realized. He said, "But I don't think it's a pity. After all, you're contributing to the country no matter where you are. Although Xiao Song didn't join the army, she's now a comrade in our security department. I believe she will definitely do a great job in this new position."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiuping paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know why Xiao Song was transferred to our security department?"
"I don't know, I only know it's a temporary transfer."
Fang Jianmin responded, then asked, "Does Sister Wang know?"
"I'm not entirely sure either, just like you. But I find it strange that the section chief would want to transfer Xiao Song from the staff hospital out of the blue."
The young woman is clearly a nurse, but instead of shining in her nursing position, she was seconded to the security department. Wang Qiuping really doesn't know what the department head, Liu Dacheng, was thinking.
Fang Jianmin said without much emotion, "You'll have to ask the section chief about that."
"I asked him what he wanted, but never mind, it's not our business to make decisions for the leaders."
Wang Qiuping sighed.
Fang Jianmin's lips twitched, but he ultimately said nothing more.
Suddenly, applause came from the shooting range.
"If they're not practicing shooting, what are they doing?" Hearing the applause, Wang Qiuping looked over and asked Fang Jianmin. Fang Jianmin replied, "Little Song has never touched a gun before, but after listening to He Peng's explanation, he first scored an eight-ring, then a nine-ring, and then every shot was a perfect score!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiuping was stunned. After a moment, she couldn't hide her excitement and said, "He's a sharpshooter! If he were in the army, he would definitely be trained as a sniper!"
"Or... or should I contact my former superior?"
Fang Jianmin turned his gaze away from the shooting range and looked at Wang Qiuping to express his thoughts.
“I also have a former superior. As for someone as promising as Xiao Song, I should recommend him to my former superior.”
Wang Qiuping raised her chin, put her hands behind her back, and prepared to leave the training ground.
"Sister Wang, don't be anxious. Although we all mean well, we need to ask Xiao Song what he means. What if the young comrade is in trouble? Wouldn't we be doing something wrong with our good intentions? You agree, right?"
Fang Jianmin called out to Wang Qiuping, and from Song Lan's perspective, he shared his guess.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Qiuping nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it after we ask Xiao Song."
The security team members train for one hour every day. Fang estimated that it was almost time, so he lowered his eyes, raised his hand, glanced at his wristwatch, and then picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it.
Upon hearing the whistle, Song Lan and the other members of the security department quickly assembled.
"Alright, that concludes today's training..."
Fang met with everyone standing at the front of the line, said a few words, and then instructed everyone to take their posts seriously.
"Xiao Song, you'll be in a group with Xiao Wei and the others for now."
Song Lan had no objection to Fang Jianmin's arrangement; she nodded in response, "Okay."
Xiao Wei, whose real name is Wei Shengli, was undoubtedly very happy to hear that Song Lan had been assigned to his group.
Even knowing that Song Lan was married, working together with men and women makes the work easier, which is much better than other groups that are all rough men!
"Very happy?" The young man named Wang Pujun nudged Wei Shengli with his elbow. Upon hearing this, Wei Shengli raised his chin, his eyes defiant: "Yes, I am indeed very happy, unlike some people who can only feel envy and jealousy!"
"Hey! You're not exactly reserved at all!"
Wang Pujun was amused by Wei Shengli's provocative gaze and said, "But it's a pity that Comrade Song is already taken."
"No need to remind me, I already know that."
Wei Shengli said smugly, "But haven't you heard that working together as a team makes the work easier? Besides, Comrade Song is so beautiful. Just seeing her makes me happy." He then turned his gaze to the other two in his group: "Li Dapeng, He Hui, don't you agree?"
"That's right."
As members of the same group, Li Dapeng and Wei Shengli naturally sided with each other, nodding and smiling in unison.
Wang Pujun saw this and couldn't help but roll his eyes twice.
"Ha! What's there to be proud of? You guys are all hopeless!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was called away by his teammates.
"I think that kid is just being a sour grapes!"
This was Li Dapeng's voice. He called to He Hui, Wei Shengli, and Song Lan to change into their work uniforms.
Upon arriving at the changing room, before Song Lan could say anything, Wei Shengli spoke up: "Comrade Song, ladies first. The three of us will stand guard outside for you."
The security department has two changing rooms, originally one for men and one for women. However, since there was only one female colleague in the security department, Wang Qiuping, the women's changing room was used by male colleagues until today.
Song Lan smiled and said, "Thank you!" After saying that, she went into the changing room, picked up her work uniform and quickly changed into it. She then folded and put away her training clothes. Without lingering, she opened the door and said to Wei Shengli and the other two, "I'll be waiting for you."
The changing room has a locker for each person. Although the space is not very large, it is more than enough to hold a few clothes and some personal daily necessities. The lockers are all locked to prevent the loss of belongings and avoid unnecessary disputes.
However, now that a new female colleague has joined the security department, it seems that starting tomorrow, the women's changing room will no longer be available for male colleagues.
