Chapter 532: Pushing the Limits
Lu Sihui was shocked. If even the careless Huang Yaomei had noticed it, how could the other smart female soldiers not have noticed it?
“I just pay more attention.”
Lu Sihui was silent for a moment and replied vaguely.
"I will also pay more attention to training in the future. I heard that we will have unified military training with male soldiers in two days. The regiment commander said that the female soldiers are too delicate and don't act like soldiers at all."
Huang Yaomei's eyes were full of anticipation. In fact, what she wanted most was not to be an arts soldier. She liked to hold a gun and fight in war like a man.
"Really? That's a good thing."
Lu Sihui was very happy to hear that. The male soldiers were so heroic, and that was what soldiers should be like.
All they do all day is practice their standing posture and jog two laps, and some of them complain about being tired and exhausted.
"Yes, I hope to go soon."
"Um."
The two were chatting casually when they saw Ding Li, who had previously worked with Zhao Yuying to frame Lu Sihui, walk in. Behind her were four or five veterans, talking and laughing, as if they were talking about something happy.
When she entered the bathroom and saw Lu Sihui, the smile on her face froze. There was jealousy in her eyes and she pouted. She went to the empty pool with others to wash clothes.
"Ah, you said I'm about to retire and I haven't been promoted. What a lucky guy!"
She began to speak sourly, her voice was so loud that it covered the sound of water, and she was speaking for Lu Sihui to hear!
"Who told you not to find a partner earlier?"
"I have to be brave enough to look for one. You know the rules of our group. How can I be so lucky that no one will deal with me when I'm dating someone? But I can get promoted instead?"
These female soldiers were about to retire and were unwilling to accept the decision. Naturally, they had a lot of objections to Lu Sihui's promotion.
"Really, I have such a bad temper."
Huang Yaomei was so angry that she dropped the clothes in her hands and rolled up her sleeves to help Lu Sihui.
Lu Sihui held her back, not wanting her to be punished for her sake.
He sneered and said, "Little sister, ignore boring people. Those who talk about others behind their backs are all incompetent people."
"Of course I'm not as capable as you. I didn't even join the art troupe, but I hooked up with the nephew of the troupe leader. Isn't that a backdoor deal?"
Ding Li was angered by Lu Sihui's words. She threw the clothes in her hands and rushed over to quarrel with Lu Sihui.
"Are you jealous?"
Lu Sihui crossed her arms across her chest, with a sarcastic smile on her lips and a cold look in her eyes.
She found that after spending so much time with Zhou Zixu, she had learned his demeanor.
"What am I jealous of? I don't think it's fair."
Ding Li's face turned red with anger, and she refused to admit that she was jealous.
"Then go talk to the captain!"
Lu Sihui sneered, thinking it was beneath her dignity to quarrel with such a person.
"Let's go find the leader. If that doesn't work, we can look for someone higher up. I don't believe there won't be a place where we can reason with him."
Ding Li began to call on the other veterans, but they all lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.
Going against the regiment commander? Three of them had been expelled before and they would be discharged soon, so no one wanted to cause trouble.
There is also a retirement allowance! It would be good to buy a dowry for myself when I go home.
"Don't you think it's unfair?"
Ding Li looked back at the female soldiers. When they talked about this matter just now, they were all indignant. Why did they all give up when it came time to fight for themselves?
"Look at your popularity? Instead of performing well to get a promotion, you're always thinking about crooked ways?"
Lu Sihui sneered and lectured her, saying that she had let her off once before and wanted to keep the peace, but Ding Li was pushing it further.
"I'll go find him. I'll definitely sue him. Don't be too proud."
