Chapter 563 The Chief
The eight men kept their eyes straight ahead until Lu Zhenjiang walked up to them.
They naturally knew the high-ranking leader.
However, I could only see them from afar during military parades.
Now, facing the scrutiny of the top leader at such close range, everyone stood up straight.
This opportunity may only come once in their military careers!
For Su Jin, a new recruit who had been in the army for less than a year, this was truly the first time she had ever seen the face of the high-ranking officer.
In his fifties or sixties, his posture was as upright as a pine tree. His face was sharply defined, and his short hair at the temples was already tinged with gray. His sharp, deep eyes, like those of a hawk, seemed to pierce through to the heart.
This imposing and authoritative leader gave Su Jin an inexplicable and strange feeling.
It was as if she had seen it before today.
She didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from, and no matter how hard she tried to find it in her memory, she couldn't.
Lu Zhenjiang's gaze fell on each of them, but when he saw Su Jin, he lingered on her for a few more seconds than he had on the others.
"good."
These two simple words are undoubtedly the highest praise for the action team.
Zheng Changqing replied firmly, "Greetings, Commander! Team members reporting for duty!"
Lu Zhenjiang nodded, his tone gentle, "Relax, everyone. I called you here today to commend your outstanding performance in this exercise."
Although the top leader said to relax, how could they dare to actually let their guard down?
"The action team has been established for less than a year, but its combat effectiveness is already considerable. This shows that you have put in more hard work than others." Lu Zhenjiang affirmed the efforts of each of them.
"Reporting to the commander, this is what we should do!" Zheng Changqing's excited voice represented the entire action team.
Lu Zhenjiang was not surprised by this answer. "You can make any requests you have now."
"Reporting to the commander, the action team has no requests."
“Just because you don’t need to be the team leader doesn’t mean others don’t need to be. Tell me, this kind of opportunity is rare.” Lu Zhenjiang said in a friendly tone, then looked at everyone except Zheng Changqing.
Naturally, no one dared to ask the top leader for a reward directly.
"Reporting to the commander, the commander's affirmation is the best reward for us." Han Shizhong gave the same answer as Zheng Changqing.
A smile appeared on Lu Zhenjiang's face. "Alright, but you'll still get what you're entitled to. You all need to keep up the good work and live up to the name of the action team."
"Yes, sir!"
All eight people spoke in unison.
"Alright, everyone go back. Su Jin, stay."
Lu Zhenjiang suddenly called out Su Jin's name, which made Su Jin slightly startled and a little nervous.
Before Zheng Changqing and the others left, they all cast envious glances at Su Jin.
To be called by name by the top leader and to be kept behind by him is an immense honor.
Soon, Su Jin was left alone in the office facing Lu Zhenjiang. She could clearly feel the unusual pressure emanating from the chief.
She couldn't understand why the high-ranking official had left her behind alone.
Therefore, silence is the best option; we should just wait for the top leader to speak first.
However, Lu Zhenjiang did not speak immediately, but instead began to look her over again.
Su Jin appeared calm, but in reality, she was feeling very anxious.
Fortunately, this scrutiny didn't last long, and Lu Zhenjiang finally spoke.
"How are you feeling in the military? Are you settling in well?"
