Chapter 552 Then you have no chance
The autumn sun hung high in the sky, with only a few sparse clouds drifting in the wind. At this time, the Jiangnan region was still somewhat hot compared to the north, where the autumn air was already crisp and clear.
At the passenger terminal of Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, a large number of young people gathered, eagerly watching the passenger ship about to dock. The welcoming crowd on the shore included senior technical team members such as Shi Jing, as well as students and junior female students from the capital who came to Jiangnan for sightseeing. This scene was somewhat similar to, yet different from, the scene of the "students traveling" from the capital arriving a few days ago.
Zhang Can's "matchmaking tour" group from the capital was targeting Qin Mo and her dozens of "disciples." Regardless of whether they liked or disliked their families' arrangements, their own advantages were on full display.
The passenger ships used by the "students of the capital" were ornately decorated official ships of the Great Xia Dynasty, signifying their status as daughters of officials. They wore the scholar's robes of the Imperial Academy, demonstrating their cultural refinement. Each of them had maids and servants, making it clear at a glance that they were daughters of important families.
Today, interns from the "Women's Academy" of Dayuan are coming to Maanshan Iron and Steel. Shi Jing, Liu Chang, Liao Lei and others once again agreed to meet them at the dock. However, they were dressed much more casually than when they welcomed the "students from the capital" last time. Some of the guys who rushed over were even wearing burlap work clothes, obviously coming directly from the construction site.
But the young ladies of the capital city were quite the opposite. They weren't wearing the neat and uniform scholar's robes today, but rather colorful ladies' dresses. The vibrant colors and jingling ornaments created a beautiful scene on the dock.
"Clang clang clang"
A fast transport ship flying the flag of the Republic of Korea Navy rang its bell and slowed down, gliding across the river like a nimble fish, and docked at the Maanshan Iron and Steel passenger terminal with an exaggerated docking posture, stirring up a splash of water and bringing a refreshing breeze.
"These bastards who failed their exams and can't sail warships are honing their skills again. Even if you sail a transport ship like a pro, you'll never sail a first-class ship in your life!" Liao Lei and the others nimbly jumped back to avoid the water splashing onto the shore, muttering filthy curses under their breath.
They dared not shout or curse, because these high-speed transport ships belonged to the navy. Although the captain, first mate, and second mate were all inferior students from the naval academy, they were still a little bit more capable than these top students from the "technical school".
If they really start arguing, they'll definitely be looked down upon. And if they start fighting... are there any bad students who don't know how to fight?
Navy sailors are different from ordinary sailors. They perform a set of standard actions cleanly and efficiently, from docking, lowering sails, throwing mooring lines, to setting up planks. Even the most clueless students and female students in the capital city secretly applaud them. Men are just too cool when they show off their skills and strength.
The most handsome ones are yet to come.
Five handsome young men walked down the gangway one by one, marching in perfect unison, their snow-white naval uniforms and resolute faces making them incredibly dashing, which made Zhang Wenlu, Xiao Lian'er, and other women's eyes light up.
"So, high-ranking officials aren't just foremen of artisans who spend all day mixing mud and laying bricks. This handsome guy is definitely my type, isn't he? I'll have Miss go and beg Master to let us choose this one..."
"The fast transport ship B647 of the Third Transport Squadron of the Dayuan Home Fleet, tasked with transporting trainees to Dangtu County, has now completed its mission!"
The captain of the leading transport ship first gave a smart military salute, and then handed over the reins to Shi Jing in a very formal manner. The masculine aura emanating from the captain and the first, second, third, and gunnery officers behind him made the daughters of officials, who were used to seeing men in black robes, glare at him with rage.
"Whether the mission is completed or not can only be determined after inspection. Lu Lang, you're a good boatman! I just wonder how many female students you've made dizzy. If anything goes wrong, hmph!"
“.......
"That boat is sailed exceptionally well! I've never seen anyone so skilled at sailing! Look at how it sped and darted about just now..."
"Exactly, exactly, he's clearly jealous that she's more handsome than him..."
Shi Jing coldly reprimanded the transport ship captain named Lu Lang, which immediately made the women behind him indignant. They began to whisper among themselves, since Shi Jing was someone reserved by Minister Zhang's family and had nothing to do with them.
"Attention! Start moving... March!"
A loud female voice interrupted the whispers of the girls on the shore. Looking in the direction of the voice, a group of girls walked out of the fast transport ship's cabin. As they stepped onto the gangway, the students from the capital, including Zhang Wenlu and Zhang Can, stared at each other with their mouths agape.
"Praise, praise, praise"
Accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps, the female trainees of the high-ranking official disembarked in two columns. Their neat formation and unusual attire shocked Zhang Can and the others.
The girls from the Dayuan were all wearing navy blue two-piece training uniforms, with leather belts around their waists, the belt buckles made of naval brass, and uniform waterproof combat boots. They each carried a large bucket bag more than a meter long on their backs, with two small bags tied around their waists and hips, and a Dayuan standard weapon—a Type 3 rifle—hanging upside down against their right shoulder.
This entire outfit weighed at least sixty or seventy pounds, and its heavy weight made their footsteps sound particularly heavy, each step striking the delicate hearts of the students from the capital.
They all wore dark sunglasses, obscuring their eyes, but this perfectly complemented their cool and stylish image. Coupled with their not-so-agile yet determined and resolute strides, a dashing and heroic spirit emanated from them.
"The first internship team of the sixth graduating class of the Women's Academy is here to report. There should be 61 people, and there are 61 people present. The team is now assembled. Please give instructions!" The female student leading the team, with her trendy short hair, strode up to Shi Jing and reported loudly at the top of her lungs.
