“That’s right; you can talk to Captain Xia about your problems, especially important matters; he can even make decisions for you.” Principal Chen paused after speaking and then said after considering the meeting, “Of course, you can’t have him call all the shots for you. You have to have your own judgment and personality.”
“After all, you don’t need to be completely attached to him.”
To summarize, President Chen didn’t want Ye Jian to always rely on others and lose her own voice.
Ye Jian smiled, “Uncle Chen, you really know how to confuse me, you’re too contradictory. You want me to tell Captain Xia when I have problems, but you also said that I have to make the judgment, so what should I do.”
“Then you have to comprehend it by yourself; that’s what I know.” Principal Chen also knew that his words were a bit self-contradictory, but sometimes the relationship between men and women was unreasonable, and it relied on personal exploration.
Then they talked about Director Cai. After receiving the inspection report, she never contacted Director Cai again. Principal Chen said, “When he contacted me, he had just returned to Tongzhou. Now he should be at home for the New Year. He called to wish New Year’s greetings.”
A soldier suddenly came over, but before he got close, he happily shouted, “Chief instructor, the dumplings are cooked; Company Commander Deng invites you to come to have some and chit chat.”
A leader of the army usually wouldn’t just have a few words to say, but Ye Jian knew that Principal Chen was true to himself and that he really only had a few words to say.
Upon hearing this, she laughed, “You don’t just say a few words; you have to at least say ten sentences, alright.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I will try my best to say ten sentences.”
Principal Chen replied disapprovingly, walked up to the soldier, and asked what was going on in the canteen now. Listening to the soldier laughing, the three of them returned to the canteen together.
The sniper base was very lively, and every face was filled with joyful smiles. At about nine o’clock, the four landlines set up at the soldier base began to get busy—soldiers who finished eating dumplings lined up to call home.
There were too few landlines. Principal Chen even took out all his mobile phones for the soldiers. Ye Jian called Director Cai, wanting to pay an early greeting in advance.
After three consecutive calls, no one answered. Ye Jian frowned lightly and was about to call for the fourth time when Director Cai called.
After taking over the phone, Director Cai listened to the beep in the receiver to answer the call and looked calmly at the soldier who gave him the phone, “Then I will just say where I am now.”
“Yes, Leader, says she can know.” The guard from the Military Discipline Inspection Commission nodded with a serious expression, “Try to get her over tomorrow.”
Tomorrow was the first day of the new year. Ye Jian, who had a dark face in less than ten seconds after answering the phone, immediately said, “Okay, I will catch the earliest flight immediately, Director Cai, don’t trouble yourself, the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection is notoriously strict, you seek truth from facts. Don’t make mistakes because of me.”
“You regard the Military Commission for Discipline Inspection as Longtan Tiger’s Lair, hahaha, don’t worry, I am not only fine, but I also think it is a good thing. You don’t need to worry too much here. You won’t be late even if you wake up naturally.” Director Cai laughed loudly at Ye Jian’s words. This kid was really righteous!
The earliest flight was after five o’clock in the morning. Principal Chen personally drove Ye Jian to the airport, “You don’t need to panic when you arrive at the Military Discipline Inspection Commission. They can’t investigate you about Sun Yaozu.”
“When you’re there, just be calm if they ask questions. You can’t let them see anything wrong; you have to react quickly. You can’t leave them with words to break, you understand?”
