Chapter 361 Calling for Help
Lu Shixu's cooking skills were even worse than Qi Xu's. If a dog smelled the food he cooked, it would make it vomit two kilograms of stomach acid.
"Second brother, are you sure the food you cooked is edible?"
Lu Shixu tasted it and almost killed himself.
"Qiqi, why don't we just go to the cafeteria today? When Second Brother has learned how to cook, he'll come and cook for you."
Lu Shixu studied hard for a week in the kitchen, but saw no results. He even secretly went to the artillery brigade to gather information.
"Can your Pao Ye really cook?"
"Yes! Pao Ye is actually a great cook, but he basically doesn't cook himself. He only cooks for Xiao Pao's wife."
Lu Shixu's jealousy of Lin Youqian's talent intensified. His damned desire to win made him want to compete with Lin Youqian no matter what.
"Isn't it all about cooking and making artillery shells? What's so great about that? I'm an amphibious fighter. I'm better than him in combat, sniping, reconnaissance, fighting, and commanding."
Lu Shixu is a comprehensive combat talent, while Lin Youqian is a scientific research and technical talent. The two are not in the same field and are completely incomparable.
But Lu Shixu just wanted to compete with this. He wanted to suppress the arrogant and show-off dog Dapao.
But in the artillery battalion, a young officer who didn't know how to live or die appeared out of nowhere and tried to provoke Lu Shixu.
"Director Lu, our Artillery Master is not only a great cook, but also a superb singer. He is the recognized singing god of our artillery brigade."
Lu Shixu's face was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and he immediately brought a violent storm to the artillery team.
Did your artillery brigade carry out this quarter's educational and practical activities? Did you conduct political theory study? Did you implement the ideological and work style rectification and self-reflection? Did you abide by the three major disciplines and eight regulations?
In the afternoon, I will conduct random checks on each item, and those who fail to implement them will be punished double the amount.
Now the entire artillery brigade was in an uproar and busy in chaos.
"Has Director Lu gone mad? Why is he suddenly investigating our artillery brigade?"
"Could it be that our Pao Ye is at odds with him again? But didn't the people in the institute say that he and his wife, water and fire, have merged and become a loving family. A second brother-in-law and a younger son-in-law, they have a very good relationship, right?"
"Oh, I see. I guess Director Lu got infected by Master Pao after they became close. His temper is even more explosive than our Master Pao's."
"What should we do? With Master Pao not here, who can we turn to for help? We've had so many activities, and we haven't met the standards in any of them. Shouldn't we be punished to death?"
After Lin Youqian went on a business trip, the deputy captain was in charge of the army.
The new deputy captain's name is Tan, and he is a very smart officer.
With the previous experience of Deputy Captain Cao as a lesson, he was able to clearly understand the relationships between the important figures in the institute.
After hearing that the Political Department was coming to inspect, he immediately sent Feng Zixuan, who had a good relationship with Qi Xu, to get help.
"Captain Feng, I'm going to recommend you as a candidate for promotion this year. Now's a great opportunity to make a contribution. As long as you can get Little Cannon's Wife to help, the position of deputy battalion commander this year will definitely be yours. Go quickly, we're waiting for your good news!"
After learning that there was an opportunity for promotion, Feng Zixuan ran to the apartment building and knocked on Qi Xu's door in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, please help us, save the officers and soldiers of our artillery brigade. Without the artillery master, we are in dire straits. Director Lu is coming for a surprise inspection, but many of our brigade items fail to meet the standards. What should we do?"
Qi Xu smiled and said that he was powerless.
"I'm just an officer's family member and can't interfere in military affairs. I can't help you with this!"
"Carrying out ideological and political activities is also part of your daily work. You should do it as you should. If it doesn't meet the standards, you should make corrections. What's the point of begging me? I'm not your prosecutor."
Feng Zixuan was so anxious that he almost sold himself out.
"Sister-in-law, please, Director Lu is your second brother. As long as you are willing to open your mouth, he will definitely let us go and let us pass."
"Sister-in-law, as long as you can convince Director Lu, I will take care of your family's meals from now on."
"The soldiers in our brigade will take turns to take care of your home's hygiene."
"If you have any difficulties and need help, our entire team will spare no effort to help you."
…
No matter how touching Feng Zixuan's words were or how sincere his requests were, Qi Xu only believed in one thing.
"I'm not a soldier, so I can't interfere in military affairs. This is the most basic etiquette of a military wife, understand?"
Qi Xu is a very principled person and he will never interfere in matters that are not his business.
Feng Zixuan did not move for help and went back dejectedly.
When everyone saw him come back, they asked anxiously.
"Captain Feng, why are you alone? Where's Xiao Pao's wife? If she doesn't come, what should we do?"
Feng Zixuan said with a frustrated look on his face.
"My sister-in-law doesn't want to. She said she's just an ordinary family member and can't interfere in military affairs."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Hao Shuai patted his chest, stood up and said with a smile.
"I'll take care of it. But my condition is, can you add my name to the list of candidates for promotion this year?"
Deputy Captain Tan smiled.
"Okay, I'll give you a spot."
In fact, Hao Shuai was already on the promotion list. Although his professional ability was a little lacking, he had a very bright mind and was a good candidate worthy of promotion.
"Okay. Wait until the people from the Political Department come over, and then I'll take care of it."
Lu Shixu acted quickly and brought an inspection team for a surprise inspection that afternoon.
In fact, he was not petty. He was jealous of those people praising Pao Ye and deliberately came to pick a fight.
But the discipline of the artillery brigade was too lazy and the atmosphere was lax. The leader had already ordered that they should take advantage of the absence of the tyrant leader and properly discipline the bandit soldiers under his command.
None of the other officers dared to take on this difficult task, so Old Man Li assigned it to Lu Shixu.
Anyway, the two of them never got along, and their positions were equal, and their abilities were comparable, so it was just right to use them to counterbalance that stubborn cannon.
Other brigades welcomed the inspection with piles of study materials and data reports neatly placed on the tables.
As for the Artillery Brigade, there were only a few scattered pieces of paper spread out there, looking like nothing.
It turns out that Lin Youqian doesn't like to study, and the soldiers he leads also follow his example and want to be lazy and slack off.
Lu Shixu sat in the main seat in the conference room and asked with a serious face.
"Have you completed your first quarter study tasks? What are your learning results?"
"Have you implemented the three rectifications from last month? Submit the plan, details, and report to me!"
"Please submit your team's weekly plans, monthly evaluations, and quarterly summaries. Do you have any specific written guidelines, progress charts, or checklists?
The main task of the artillery brigade is to produce, manufacture and assemble weapons and equipment. No one likes to deal with those textual things related to ideological and political education.
So, what Lu Shixu said does exist, but it is just a few lines of text, or a blank table, which does not meet the standards at all.
Hao Shuai came onto the stage with a smile on his face, carrying a thermos.
"Director Lu, we have everything you mentioned. We've already found it. You and the other leaders of the inspection team, please have a cup of tea and wait a moment!"
