Zhu Fanfan asked directly, "Why were all the female soldiers handed over to me?"
Zhu Jiabao corrected: "You are not qualified to train all the female soldiers. You were just given some female soldiers that others couldn't get."
Although there are few female soldiers, there aren't that few either. Those who come through connections are usually women whose families think they are too pampered. They want to teach them a lesson so they know how good their lives are now and won't forget their roots. Even if they don't join the army, their families have other plans. So their superiors are also lenient and don't dare to put them through the wringer in training. However, I heard that even a little training makes them question their existence and they secretly cry several times. I don't want to keep people like that.
Zhu Fanfan was both amused and exasperated: "You knew perfectly well that they were all problematic soldiers, yet you still gave them to me? Don't you know what kind of temper I have? Aren't you afraid I'll persuade them to leave the army?"
Zhu Jiabao said, "Go ahead and persuade me to quit, I'll cover for you."
Because of his high rank, no matter what his granddaughter does, there will be no objection. Even if there is objection, he will suppress it directly. He is in the highest position, so she can offend people as she pleases.
Zhu Fanfan was angry, but still nodded: "Couldn't you have discussed it with me beforehand? I didn't even know what was going on before you brought the person here and handed them over. Did you ask for my opinion?"
Zhu Jiabao said, "It is your responsibility to obey the leader's orders."
Zhu Fanfan said, "Explain all the problems these people have, and tell me exactly what I need to do."
Zhu Jiabao said, "Some of them are outstanding, but the training is too much for them. They strive to be number one in everything just to prove themselves. I don't deny their excellence, but I don't want them to regret it in the future, so I'm entrusting them to you."
He doesn't want them to sacrifice their health for every training session; he doesn't want them to be plagued by illnesses when they get old.
Zhu Fanfan said with a forced smile, "Commander Zhu, just tell me what you want to do? I remember telling you that I just want to be a squad leader, I don't have any big ambitions."
She had just gotten to know Tong Ze and the others, and before they even started doing any tasks or getting along, several new people arrived, more than a dozen of them together. Was this to make her their instructor? She felt that her grandfather must have other motives.
Seeing that Zhu Fanfan was very angry, Zhu Jiabao winked at Xie Minglei, but Xie Minglei ignored him. Zhu Jiabao had no choice but to step in himself: "In our army, we must absolutely obey orders, as you know. Once you are given a task, just do it. You must face difficulties head-on and not back down. If you back down, you are not suitable to be here."
Zhu Fanfan remained silent, staring at her grandfather. She felt he wasn't telling the truth. They were both honest with each other; couldn't they just be more open? Why did she have to guess?
Zhu Jiabao winked at Xie Minglei, who then said, "Fanfan, we have a lot of rules. If you want to be free from constraints, we can apply for you to join the Dragon Group."
Zhu Jiabao immediately stopped him: "Xie Minglei—"
After saying that, he quickly jumped up from the desk, pulled Xie Minglei up, and stood behind him. This good-for-nothing had ruined his plans. He was definitely doing it on purpose.
Then, Zhu Fanfan was indeed behind Zhu Jiabao's chair, clearly intending to make a move. Zhu Jiabao said, "You want to be locked up for beating up a superior, don't you think?"
Zhu Fanfan walked over, wanting to confront his grandfather: "Come out from behind Grandpa Xie, let's talk this out. I've said I won't go to the Dragon Group, why are you still not giving up? Come out here!"
Zhu Jiabao held Xie Minglei tightly: "Speak up, calm down."
Xie Minglei: ...He's the one who needs to calm down.
Zhu Fanfan's expression was frighteningly calm: "I'm very calm. Tell me why you always want to throw me out."
Zhu Jiabao told the truth: "I don't want to lose you, it's just that you'll have a better future there. We don't lack people or talent here."
The Dragon Group's mission is even more arduous, but there are too few people with superpowers, making it extremely difficult to complete any tasks. They need more people there.
Zhu Fanfan was angry. She wanted to reason with her grandfather, but when Zhu Jiabao saw Zhu Fanfan getting close, he subconsciously pulled Xie Minglei back, even though he didn't understand why he was backing away.
Zhu Fanfan tried to smile gently: "Let go of Grandpa Xie first. You've gripped his shoulder so tightly it's almost broken. Don't you know how strong you are?"
Zhu Jiabao became even more worried: "The angrier you get, the calmer you become; the sweeter your smile, the more ruthless your schemes are. I won't fall for your tricks."
Zhu Fanfan retorted: "You're the one with all the bad intentions. Explain yourself clearly today. Why do you want me to go to the Dragon Group? Explain it to me."
After saying that, he took a step forward, wanting to spin around and catch the person. Zhu Jiabao immediately spun around first, and Xie Minglei followed suit. Zhu Fanfan spun around again, and Zhu Jiabao followed suit. Xie Minglei had no choice but to spin around as well. He endured it again and again. Did the two of them think he was a spinning top?
Xie Minglei advised, "Let's sit down and talk this over..."
Zhu Jiabao ignored him and said, "I'm at work! I'm your boss. I'll explain things to you after work."
Zhu Fanfan didn't believe her: "I'm afraid you'll be too busy with official business today and will rest in the office tonight."
Zhu Jiabao: ...He really did have that thought. Ever since his wife died, she has become somewhat extreme, and he was afraid that she would use that same extreme on him.
Zhu Fanfan laughed and said, "You can run away from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth. We'll settle the score slowly."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the enamel cup on the table. The enamel cup instantly twisted into a mess, and then he turned and left.
Once Zhu Jiabao was sure the person had left, she relaxed and quickly went to the table, holding the enamel mug with a pained expression: "This is my brand new enamel mug. I only used it once to drink water, and now it's completely ruined. That brat just wastes things."
Xie Minglei, standing nearby, got angry: "Forget about your broken enamel mug, shouldn't you give me an explanation first?"
Zhu Jiabao corrected: "It's new, not broken, just twisted into a pretzel shape."
Xie Minglei: "I don't care if it's new or broken. You two have a conflict, so resolve it yourselves. Don't use me as a scapegoat."
Zhu Jiabao was not intimidated: "If you hadn't talked so much, I could have talked to her slowly. She's much more interested in the Dragon Group now. With a little more effort, she could have switched over. Your honest words have made all my hard work these past few days go to waste. I haven't even asked you for an explanation yet!"
Xie Minglei insisted, "Didn't you say your granddaughter is the smartest? She'll figure it out sooner or later."
Zhu Jiabao was angry: "I'm almost convinced her. Once she goes there, she won't regret it. It's all your fault for telling her the purpose directly. She will definitely be on guard from now on and won't listen to reason. You... are useless. Don't forget that you also have the task of persuading her to go to the Dragon Group."
Xie Minglei chuckled dryly: "Can't I go back on my word? My granddaughter has been here for so long, and I've seen what she's done. She's very capable and has even identified several other people with superpowers. In the future, we won't need to ask the Dragon Group for help with some of her superpowers. I'm also curious why you're so insistent on sending your granddaughter to the Dragon Group."
