Zhu Fanfan directly exposed her grandfather: "You look like you're watching a good show, or maybe it's targeting me, Grandpa. I think you'd better give me a heads-up first, or I'm afraid I might do something that will put you in a difficult position."
Grandpa knows she doesn't like being wronged. If he doesn't remind her, she's likely to retaliate too much, and in the end, Grandpa will have to clean up the mess.
Zhu Jiabao was in a good mood: "Are you threatening me? I don't care if I tell you. My old friends said that after seeing your achievements, they felt that they were too lenient with their grandsons, so they decided to give them extra training so that they could enter the army on their own merits. If they don't meet the standards, they will go to the countryside. Moreover, based on my understanding of those people, they will be good at putting one down and praising another. You are that other person's child. I guess quite a few people will resent you. Be careful not to get a sack on the road."
This girl is ruthless to others because she doesn't know how to get along with those people for long and has no scruples. But they don't know how many years they will live in the compound, so she can't offend them too much. If she offends them all, she will be isolated and it will be inconvenient for her to do anything.
Now, the government is encouraging educated youth to go to the countryside to support rural areas. I've heard that it's becoming mandatory. The main reason for this is that urban jobs are saturated, and some recent graduates are unemployed and often engage in petty theft and other disruptive activities. The government is launching this program to alleviate the pressure on rural areas.
The trend of sending educated youth to the countryside didn't reach the military. Who would dare to cause trouble here? Basically, all the children here joined the military, though most of them intended to follow the rules. So, the value of their own admission was much higher. Take Zhu Fanfan, for example. He brought out all his medals and achievements from catching spies and got in smoothly, without even his elders having to worry about him.
Zhu Fanfan humbly asked, "Grandpa, how badly do you want me to beat him?"
She couldn't possibly humble herself; she could only guarantee that she wouldn't trample on their dignity. After all, the only condition for who would be the leader among the children in the compound was that you had to be strong enough. First, you had to be strong in martial arts, and second, you had to be strong in your mind. After all, if you were smart, you could scheme against outsiders, but if you schemed against your own people, you could easily get a report on them.
Zhu Jiabao slammed his fist on the table: "Beat them as badly as you can. As long as they don't lose an arm or a leg or suffer internal injuries, it's fine. A little flesh wound is a good thing for them."
Zhu Fanfan stopped talking, which showed that Grandpa wasn't one to suffer a loss.
Zhu Jiabao said, "Your bodyguard status has been approved. You'll be coming to work with me tomorrow. They've brought your uniform back; try it on and see if it fits. Tomorrow is your first day at the military base, so you'll need to train. Keep it safe."
With both internal energy and supernatural abilities, she unleashed her full power, essentially bullying people.
Zhu Fanfan had no choice but to agree, took the clothes to her room, and casually asked, "Can the size be altered if it doesn't fit?"
The military uniform is a bit loose and baggy now; she wants to wear clothes that fit her body better.
Zhu Jiabao wanted to hit the child: "Do you think this is a clothing store! Military uniforms represent the image of soldiers. If it doesn't fit, you can exchange it. If you dare to alter it, I'll kill you, you believe me?"
Although neither he nor his wife knew how to make clothes, Sister-in-law Fuya was a master of embroidery and garment making. Fanfan learned some from her and could make and mend clothes. Her skills were better than most people's. If she wasn't reminded, she could actually alter military uniforms.
Zhu Fanfan pouted: "If you don't want to change, then don't change. Why be so fierce?"
Zhu Jiabao: ...He speaks so gently. Considering she made him look good, I won't hold it against her.
The next day, Jin Chaoying came to pick them up, and Zhu Fanfan came along. On the way, he kept bickering with his grandfather, while Jin Chaoying just smiled and remained silent. He seemed to be the kind of person who was a refined scoundrel.
Upon arriving at the destination, Zhu Jiabao said to Jin Chaoying, "There should still be people training there. Take her there."
He then said to Zhu Fanfan, "Practice hard. Let's show them with our actions that those who get in through connections have real skills."
After saying that, she went to the office building. Zhu Fanfan also put on a fake smile. She would show her grandfather with her actions that getting in through the back door is getting in through the back door.
Jin Chaoying laughed and said, "Come with me. You will be with the Third Battalion Commander. He is a bit strict with his soldiers, but there is one thing: if you can beat him, you can be exempted from training. Also, he is easily provoked."
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "I'm here to steal your job, aren't you angry?"
Generally speaking, even for a battalion commander, showing more face in front of superiors has many benefits, and they are even more likely to be appreciated than those who frequently go on missions. My grandfather only needs one bodyguard, and she came here to steal his job. Does this person have such a good mentality?
Jin Chaoying replied, "All jobs are done the same way. If I am less capable than you, I will accept it. The right person wins the job because of their ability."
The main reason is that Chief Zhu said his granddaughter is just here temporarily and won't stay for too long. He wants to subtly praise the superpowered individuals to her, making her feel that being a superpowered person is the most challenging and interesting thing. As long as he doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, the guards won't be replaced, except for promotions.
Zhu Fanfan remained noncommittal but followed Jin Chaoying to the Third Battalion Commander's drill ground. Jin Chaoying said that since she was new, they would train together and then left, leaving Zhu Fanfan behind.
The battalion commander, seeing that it was a delicate young girl, knew she was another person with connections. However, he still said in a strong voice, "I don't care who you are. Once you're here, train hard. Unless you're exhausted, you can't ask for leave, understand?"
Zhu Fanfan, still speaking in a soft, gentle voice reminiscent of Jiangnan dialect, said, "I don't want to train. I want to challenge you. If I win, I'll be exempt from the training."
The battalion commander laughed: "Young man, don't be too arrogant. I have only one principle when training soldiers: if you can prove that you are better than me, you can rest, but if you lose, you will have to undergo three times the training. Can you do that?"
Zhu Fanfan readily agreed: "It's a deal. You name the competition, and I'll be there to see it through."
The battalion commander pointed to the training ground ahead: "See that? Let's do the simplest thing: run three laps around the parade ground. Whoever finishes first wins."
Zhu Fanfan looked at the equipment and the size of the playground in front of her and fell into deep thought. Was she being a little too unfair? When her old equipment was too small, her grandfather replaced it with adult-sized equipment, which was even installed according to the training equipment of special forces. She thought it was child's play. The equipment here is even simpler and less difficult. Moreover, running is what she does best. Should she go easy on her?
The battalion commander softened his tone a bit: "If you don't want to compete, you can train at the same intensity as us today. Don't fall behind."
Although it's a running race, there are many obstacles to train reaction time, making it quite challenging.
Zhu Fanfan interrupted directly: "I accept the challenge. When do we start?"
The battalion commander thought Zhu Fanfan was just showing off and said, "You can do it now. Once you start, you can't back out or cry."
Zhu Fanfan said, "I was born without knowing what losing is."
Since that's the case, the third battalion commander didn't stand on ceremony and started waiting at the starting line for the whistle to blow.
