Chapter 59

Ye Tianming was speechless, but he quickly smiled afterwards. This smile caused Chen Zhonghua to blank. Ye Tianming reached out to pick up the Soft Chunghwa 1 on the desk, then retreated a few steps to sit on the sofa. He gave the cigarette box a light tap with his thumb, causing a cigarette to fly out of the box in an arc and land directly in his mouth. After that, he lit the cigarette and sucked in a deep breath before crossing his legs and shamelessly putting the cigarette box in his pocket.

Now, it was Chen Zhonghuas turn to turn speechless, and all he could do was stare at Ye Tianming.

After a while, Ye Tianming finally spoke, Chief, its fine if you want me to train the soldiers.

Upon hearing that, Chen Zhonghua immediately brightened up. However, just as he was about to say something, Ye Tianming added, But

Eh! Chen Zhonghua forced his words back down his throat and asked with a dark expression, But what? Do you want to talk about conditions with me?

Hehe. Chief, how can you say that? Dont you remember that Im just a puny soldier, no one would listen to me without any rank. Dont you think thats the case?

Chen Zhonghua couldnt get more annoyed, this brat was asking him for a position. However, the brat did transfer over from Blue Sword, so he should technically be a major. Yet, it wasnt a normal transfer, but a transfer to a job of a lower level, so that was a bit hard. After all, Blue Sword was a special case where they had no ranks, and he had to return there in the future. If they suddenly gave him a file, would Old Qin say something about it?

Thinking that, Chen Zhonghua clenched his teeth and dialed Qin Dahais number, Old Qin, that brat, Ye Tianming, is here.

Oh? Hehe, how is it? That brat isnt acting shameless with you, right?

Chen Zhonghua laughed wryly, Hes refusing to do it without any ranks, what do you say?

Qin Dahai chuckled, Arent you just afraid of me saying something? Theres no need, if he wants a rank, then give it to him. When he comes back, dont move his file. Hows that? Im nice enough, right? Qin Dahai was also very happy, there was no doubt about Ye Tianmings ability. He was also happy about Ye Tianming getting advanced to a cadre, although Blue Sword received the best treatment within the Chinese military, there were special regulations, and they had no chance to advance to a cadre.

As for the commanders that joined Blue Sword from the normal troops, their files wouldnt be moved. Blue Sword just stored a backup file. In the future, when they returned to their normal troops, the commanders would be able to be promoted, get a higher salary and be put to good use. This was also why they tried their hardest to get in. There were a few hurdles when getting promoted in the military: the hurdles between a battalion commander and a deputy division commander; and between a division commander and a corps commander. These hurdles were barriers that some people wouldnt be able to cross even when they retired. However, it would be different if they stayed in Blue Sword for a couple of years. The speed at which they got promoted would be equivalent to riding a rocket.

However, normal soldiers didnt have this fortune. After they retired, they either returned home, or stayed in Blue Sword to become an instructor. Even if they got sent down, the military rank they would get wouldnt be too high, and even if they could get promoted, their age would still limit them.

This was a great chance for Ye Tianming, so Qin Dahai would definitely support it. Hearing Qin Dahais words, Chen Zhonghua also let out a sigh of relief, then hung up the phone and said to Ye Tianming, Sure, I can promise you, but you have to train the soldiers well, or else Ill send you back down.

Ye Tianming chuckled, Dont worry, Chief, I promise to complete the mission. However, he did not leave after he finished speaking.

Chen Zhonghua asked in confusion, Why havent you left yet, Ill send you the appointment notice in the afternoon.

Ye Tianming shook his head like he was moving to a rhythm, Chief, I dont know what rank youre going to give me yet. I wont be assured if you dont tell me. You have power, and I dont. When the time comes, if you give me the rank of second lieutenant then wouldnt it be too terrible for me? I wont be able to change it even if I want to.
