No one knows all of this better than her, the team leader.
At today's meeting, after listening to Wu Jie's plan, the team leader couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.
But she couldn't show it. As the team leader, she had to always maintain a fair and just image. She could show a certain degree of trust in Wu Jie, but she couldn't be overly partial to him.
Otherwise, it will make the people below dissatisfied, and it may also make Wu Jie develop an arrogant mentality.
[Alas, being a regimental commander is so hard.] Mingxi couldn't help but sigh, really missing the days in the military academy, when Wu Jie could still talk to him and talk about the future and ideals together.
But now the two of them have become a superior-subordinate relationship. Because there are countless people watching them, they never have the chance to talk to Wu Jie like friends, have a meal together, take time to chat about their past military school life, and reminisce about the past together.
Sometimes Mingxi wanted Wu Jie to grow up quickly, let him take his place, and he himself would be a soldier standing on the front line, just charging forward and not thinking about anything else.
"How about finding a chance to ask Wu Jie out for a day?" Thinking of this, Mingxi smiled inwardly and returned to reality.
"Well, Wu Jie, please sit down. I have heard your plan. Remember to write me a detailed plan afterwards. As for whether to adopt this plan, let's talk about it after you come back from the international competition." Mingxi said with a smile.
Wu Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that he was just called up for a discussion at the last minute, but his plan was added to the official plan candidate?
"Captain...my plan is not mature yet. Do you want to consult the opinions of the column leaders?" Wu Jie said carefully.
"Haha, Major Wu, I have no objection to your plan! It's great!" Tamira was very straightforward and directly supported Wu Jie.
Duo Luo, standing nearby, also remarked, "I think Major Wu is very talented, and this plan is very attractive. The most important thing is that before we had time to do anything, Major Wu had already clearly understood the enemy situation, the terrain, and the plan. It's like we're just going through the motions."
"Having such talented people is a blessing for our Suzaku Battle Dance Troupe. Besides, it's been a long time since I've felt so relieved. This is probably the least brain-intensive meeting I've ever had. It's so comfortable."
At a meeting, the three column leaders seemed very optimistic about Wu Jie's plan, and even the regiment leader hinted to everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, that she was very optimistic about Wu Jie's plan.
Only Lilaxi weakly raised his hand and said, "I reserve my opinion."
After that, Lilaxi didn't say anything more and didn't continue to lower everyone's mood.
"Well, if everyone has no new opinions, let's end this meeting here. Wu Jie, please stay for a moment, I have something to say to you." Ming Xi signaled the end of the meeting.
"Me?" Wu Jie was puzzled.
Just like that, everyone left the meeting room one by one, only Siska was still sitting in her seat, and it seemed like she had no intention of leaving.
Mingxi was not angry because Xisika deliberately stayed. Instead, he said to Wu Jie in front of Xisika: "Junior, tell me honestly, have you ever thought about getting promoted?"
Wu Jie was stunned. Did the senior sister keep me here just to ask me this question? He wanted to answer directly, "Of course I did," but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong. The senior sister seemed to have other intentions.
Wu Jie shook his head and said, "I've been on the front lines for a long time. I've lived and died with those warrior dancers, and we've experienced danger and countless battles together. I don't know if I should be promoted. Because I know very well that once I'm in a high position, I won't be able to chat with the warrior dancers like I did on the front lines, and I won't be able to always care about their safety."
"Their lives are like numbers on a chessboard. As long as I think about it, countless soldiers will fight to the death on the front lines according to my orders. Whether they get promoted or not is not important to me."
Mingxi frowned, not quite satisfied: "Have you ever thought about it? Although your command will hold the power of life and death of countless people, you can also use this power to save them, use your intelligence and wisdom to let them return home alive. Isn't this what you want to do?"
This is a question of human nature. Mingxi didn't ask these questions for fun. She wanted to find out whether Wu Jie was an indecisive person. Wu Jie's answer just now had already disappointed her a little.
A general must see through life and death and serve his country with his life. If he cannot even see through life and death, more people will die because of the general's indecision and resentment.
If Wu Jie wants to be promoted, he must have the demeanor of a great general. Without the will to kill and be decisive, he will be dragged down by his personality.
Xiska was drinking tea on the side. Of course she understood what Wu Jie said, and she shook her head. In her opinion, Wu Jie's answer could not even satisfy her, so how could he convince the leader whom she admired?
Wu Jie laughed, not in a mocking way, nor in a self-deprecating way, but a happy laugh.
Mingxi was surprised, Xiska was surprised, they both didn't understand why Wu Jie was laughing so happily.
"Senior sister, after so many years, I didn't expect that you are the one who has regressed." Wu Jie really felt that the senior sister had regressed.
"I've regressed?" Mingxi looked confused, but she was not angry. She wanted to see what Wu Jie wanted to say.
"Promotion is indeed important because we live in a human social system. Without a position, there is no real power."
Mingxi nodded after listening and motioned Wu Jie to continue.
"But I'm sure you didn't understand what I was trying to say. I won't forget my shared destiny with the War Dancer just because I got promoted, nor will I harbor resentment for not getting promoted. No matter what position I hold, all I have to do is be myself."
"If I were a soldier, I would fight bravely on the battlefield and serve my country. If I were a squad leader, I would shoulder my responsibilities and do everything possible to make the right choice so that everyone can return home alive."
"If I were a general, I would use all means, no matter if they were evil, dirty, bright or dark, to defeat my enemies and ensure that the soldiers under my command could return alive and see the sunshine together the next morning. This is me!"
Wu Jie spoke passionately and with great enthusiasm, and he did not restrain himself at all because Xiska was listening beside him, because this was who he was, this was himself.
After Wu Jie finished speaking, he waited for Mingxi's reaction.
After hearing what Wu Jie said, Mingxi lowered her head and said nothing. Wu Jie couldn't see her expression. For a moment, the meeting room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe very long, maybe very short, Mingxi finally raised his head.
Although she hid it well, Wu Jie could still see that she seemed to have cried, with traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.
She opened her thin red lips, and there was a wisp of mist between her words: "You are worthy of being my junior. You have passed the test."
[Senior...is crying?]
