Chapter 83: Layout before the outbreak
"Xu Yan, are you okay?"
A concerned cry woke Xu Yan from his thoughts. He withdrew his gaze from the sky, glanced at his comrades around him, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just figured out some things."
"What's the matter? Are you not leaving?" everyone asked hurriedly.
Xu Yan nodded and said loudly: "You are right. It is not my style to admit defeat and admit defeat. Since the company commander wants to play, I will play with him. He wants to humiliate me with the rank of trainee private. No way. I will use this identity to stir up a storm and slap him hard with actual actions!"
"good!"
"Good job, this is the Xu Yan we know!"
"Come on, slap the company commander in the face with your actions, slap him until he becomes like a pig's head!"
When the people in Class 3 heard Xu Yan say he was not leaving, all their worries and reluctance disappeared in an instant. They clapped their hands vigorously, cheered and praised him, and at the same time, they started to make a fuss as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, a discordant voice suddenly rang out, "Xu Yan, didn't you have a falling out with the company commander before? Will the company commander let you stay?" It was Jiang Danian. He noticed that Xu Yan did not have his badge, and combined with what Xu Yan had said before, he spoke with some concern.
The cheers stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Xu Yan at the same time, only to see that his face was a little stiff.
"Xu Yan, go find the company commander as soon as possible, otherwise he will not let you stay." Everyone advised.
"It's okay!" Xu Yan pretended to be calm, but although he said this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. When everyone tried to persuade him again, he agreed asked everyone to go back to the dormitory to pack up, while he returned to the office building.
"I just had a falling out with the company commander. I don't know if he will let me stay... Oh, I wouldn't have been so impulsive if I had known... I'd better find a lobbyist in case that black-faced god disagrees."
Xu Yan walked on the road with a bitter face. Thinking of the scene when he turned back to find the company commander, he couldn't help feeling guilty. Worried that the company commander would not agree, he couldn't help but want to find a lobbyist, and the best candidate was Mo Wenyuan.
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
Xu Yan had just made up his mind to ask Mo Wenyuan for help , but he saw Mo Wenyuan walking out of the office sighing, with his head hanging, looking like a defeated rooster.
When Xu Yan saw Mo Wenyuan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly walked towards him. The two met in front of the office door.
"Platoon leader, I have something to talk to you about!"
"Xu Yan, I have something to talk to you about!"
The two brothers, each with their own thoughts, forced a smile at the same time and spoke almost at the same time after seeing their target.
"You speak first!"
The two were stunned at the same time, and then spoke in unison, both wanting the other to speak first. They each felt that they needed something from the other, so if they let the other speak first, it would be easier to discuss later.
Once again, they spoke at the same time, and were stunned again. They pushed each other away again. Seeing that Xu Yan was unwilling to speak first, Mo Wenyuan spoke first. He did not keep the conversation going and directly stated his intention. "Xu Yan, listen to my advice and stay, okay?"
Forehead!
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, staring at Mo Wenyuan in disbelief, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
Mo Wenyuan saw his expression and thought he was unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Xu Yan, don't rush to refuse. Listen to me first. In fact, the company commander still values you very much. The reason why he gave you the title of trainee private is for your long-term development. Later, he said he wanted to drive you away, but he was angry and couldn't step down. That's why he did it. In fact, he didn't really want to drive you away. Listen to my advice, apologize to the company commander, and stay, okay?"
Mo Wenyuan spoke earnestly, looking as if he was eager for Xu Yan to stay. The expression on Xu Yan's face suddenly became extremely interesting. He had been thinking of asking Mo Wenyuan to be a lobbyist before, but here he took the initiative to come up to him and sincerely tried to keep him. It was really like someone giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.
This was exactly what Xu Yan wanted, so of course he would agree. However, he did not agree directly. Instead, he coughed twice and said, "Platoon Leader, I know you are good to me, but the company commander is too bullying. He clearly promised me before that if I can help Da Nian establish a sense of direction, he will let me pass the probation period and give me a reward. In the end, he gave me the title of trainee private, which is humiliating..."
"Actually, the company commander is doing this for your own good!"
"Is there anyone who is so kind?"
"Xu Yan, no matter how I treat you, you should think of it as that for me and for these brothers-in-arms, you can't leave..."
"Well, since you've said that, I'll agree with all my might!"
Xu Yan put on airs for a while and acted very pretentiously, but he didn't dare to go too far, lest Mo Wenyuan give up and just agreed.
"You promised not to lie to me?" Mo Wenyuan said in surprise. Seeing Xu Yan nod, and after confirming again and again, he hurried upstairs.
Looking at Mo Wenyuan's receding figure, Xu Yan's lips curled up slightly, his expression extremely strange. All this was too funny and too smooth, so smooth that he even had an illusion that he was the protagonist and had the halo of the protagonist.
Xu Yan stood downstairs in the office building, waiting leisurely. After a while, Mo Wenyuan hurried down and came to Xu Yan's side. Without waiting for Xu Yan to speak, he said, "The company commander agreed to give you one more chance. Go up quickly and apologize to the company commander. Be sincere."
Still feeling uneasy, he warned, "You must be sincere and never go against the company commander again. For this opportunity, I said all the good things and assured the company commander again and again. I almost wore my lips out before he finally gave in. Don't mess it up again!"
"Don't worry, I understand!" Xu Yan responded and went upstairs with a strange look on his face. He wouldn't do anything rash even without Mo Wenyuan's reminder, because he valued this opportunity more than Mo Wenyuan!
Knock knock!
Xu Yan knocked on the door a few times. After getting a response from Tang Jue, he gently pushed the door open and walked in. He saluted politely and said, "Hello, Company Commander. Private Trainee Xu Yan is here to report to you!"
Seeing Xu Yan claiming to be a trainee private, Tang Jue raised the corners of his lips slightly, knowing that he was sincerely apologizing, and his heart was immediately relieved. He pretended to be calm and said, "Why are you here again? Aren't you dissatisfied with this rank?"
"Captain, I was just a little rusty-headed before, but now I have figured it out. Since the army has decided to rank me as a trainee private, there must be some considerations. I will resolutely obey the arrangement of the army."
Xu Yan saluted again. He didn't dare to act rashly in front of Tang Jue. He said something in a high-sounding manner, and then rolled his eyes and began to set a trap. "Besides, there is nothing wrong with being a trainee private soldier. Not only can you put yourself at the lowest point and constantly motivate yourself to keep making progress, but you also have an advantage that other military ranks don't have, which is that you can ask the private soldiers in the army for advice at any time."
His request was not a real one, but a challenge. He said it here just to get the company commander's approval, so that he would have the final say. With the company commander 's nod, he could challenge him without any scruples.
