An 80s female translator was spoiled rotten by a rough and jealous man.

Chapter 42 Field Combat Skills Training and Assessment Competition
Meng Youyou delivered the compiled translation materials to the door of Commander Wang's office and knocked.

"Come in!" A familiar, strong voice rang out from inside the room.

Meng Youyou pushed open the door and entered, and was a little stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.

When did Commander Peng arrive? And Regiment Commander Wang, Chief of Staff Lu, Battalion Commander Deng of the First Battalion, Huo Qingshan of the Second Battalion, Battalion Commander Zheng of the Third Battalion... were all seated in different positions in the room, each sitting upright and silent without exception, their expressions more serious than the last.

The atmosphere was somewhat somber... or perhaps tense?

My thoughts returned, and I remembered why I came here. I thought I should hand over the documents quickly and leave this "place of trouble" as soon as possible, since the current situation didn't seem like something I could stay in for long.

"Commander Wang, this is the document you asked me to translate urgently this morning. I've finished translating it and am bringing it to you."

After putting down the documents, Meng Youyou prepared to turn around and leave smoothly, coming quietly and leaving quietly without taking away a single cloud.

Unexpectedly, Commander Peng stopped him, saying, "Comrade Meng, don't rush off. You've been in the army for so many days, and I haven't had time to come to June 24th again, so I haven't had a chance to ask you how you're doing. Have you been adjusting well these past few days?"

Meng Youyou was flattered. How could a little kid like her accept such words? Anyone who didn't know her would think she was one of those "rich second-generation" kids who had been sent to intern at a client company by her father.

She hurriedly replied, "I'm adapting quite well. Everyone here takes good care of me. The main problem is that my work skills are still not perfect and I have many shortcomings that I need to improve."

Commander Peng smiled and waved his hand: "It's already rare for a young person to be so aware of their shortcomings. Who can rise to the top in one step? Having shortcomings means there is room for growth, which is a good thing. Just get more experience!"

Regiment Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Lu: "..."

"You didn't say that when we were young!"

Meng Youyou smiled awkwardly: "Yes, you're right, I will continue to work hard."

But inside, he was screaming, "Could my father in the capital really be such a formidable figure?!"

Commander Peng continued, "Last time we ate, I asked Huo Qingshan to keep an eye on you, but I know that brat's temper; he's never been very obedient. Take this opportunity to tell me how he's been behaving. Don't be afraid to speak up; I'll stand up for you."

Meng Youyou secretly glanced at Huo Qingshan sitting in the corner, but unexpectedly, he also looked over, and their eyes met... Meng Youyou felt a little guilty and quickly looked away, afraid that those penetrating eyes could see through the strange emotions she was trying to hide.

Meng Youyou didn't look at anyone, and simply replied, "Battalion Commander Huo is very good to me."

A statement that everyone present except her thought was just polite talk, but which was actually the truth.

Seeing that the other party had already said that, Commander Peng did not pursue the topic any further.

But then the tone shifted abruptly, and Commander Peng immediately threw out an even more explosive question: "We were just discussing some general details of a 'Field Combat Skills Training and Assessment Competition' that will be held soon on June 24th. How about it, are you interested in participating?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room changed their expressions, revealing an incredulous look.

This also includes Meng Youyou: "Are you asking me this question?"
Me? Meng Youyou? Should I participate in the "Wilderness Training Assessment"?

Meng Youyou now wants to immediately retract her previous absurd conjecture. Her father could not possibly be a powerful figure, otherwise who would push the daughter of a big shot into a "wolf's den"?
After much deliberation, Meng Youyou came up with a reasonable and safe explanation that would not make her seem cowardly or irresponsible, while also subtly expressing her objective concerns: "As a member of the 624 team, I will of course do my duty to complete any task assigned by the team. However, objectively speaking, my physical condition is really worrying. I am too weak to even lift a chicken, and I am afraid that I will only drag my teammates down during the competition."

Upon hearing this, Commander Peng burst into laughter: "Isn't this a coincidence? Our training assessment this time is to include a 'weakling' character in each team, someone who can't even kill a chicken, to simulate combat situations where soldiers are carrying hostages or special personnel within the team in special combat environments. So I think you're the most suitable candidate for our requirements!" Meng Youyou's lips twitched involuntarily: "..."

"Is this how you soldiers chat?"

Before Meng Youyou could think of a response, Huo Qingshan suddenly stood up and firmly objected, "Although Comrade Meng Youyou serves as a translator in the 624th Army, she is not a soldier. It is unreasonable for her to participate in high-risk field training and assessment."

Upon hearing this, Commander Peng's eyebrows furrowed, his face darkened, and he sternly rebuked, "Huo Qingshan, did I ask for your opinion? Is it your turn to speak?"

Huo Qingshan stiffened his neck and remained silent, but he stood tall with his chin held high, silently expressing his protest.

When Commander Peng saw this troublesome guy, he was furious. He pointed at the guy's head and was about to scold him a few more times when Regiment Commander Wang stopped him and smoothed things over: "This kid is used to being ungrateful and has no respect for his superiors. You know him well after all these years. He has this bad temper. I will definitely teach him a lesson later and punish him by making him do a 50-kilometer cross-country run with a weight!"
"Calm down, don't stoop to the level of this brat. It's not worth getting yourself sick from anger."

While comforting him, she also gave him a meaningful look, signaling Lu Ming to help serve the tea.

Commander Peng took the teacup handed to him, lifted the lid, and began to drink.

Lu Ming also joined the effort to dissuade them, saying, "Commander, Huo Qingshan may have been a bit impulsive, but he actually has some truth to what he said. Translator Meng is only temporarily assigned to our 624th Division. If something goes wrong during this training and assessment, we won't be able to explain it to the Central Committee."

Commander Peng snorted disapprovingly: "Didn't you just say, Lu Ming, that 'there isn't a single coward in our 624 from top to bottom, and whoever is called upon will be called upon'? How come those words didn't come from your mouth?"

Does being temporarily appointed mean you're not officially appointed? You all know the geographical location and strategic significance of Fanzhou City. If things really come to that, even if we don't say "everyone is a soldier," at least "the whole unit is a soldier" should be in place. On the battlefield, do you think enemy bullets will bypass you and shoot others just because you're a temporary soldier?

Lu Ming choked and fell silent instantly.

Commander Wang, however, took a different approach and persuaded them by saying, "In the list we just discussed, whether it's the engineers or the cooks in the team, they are all at least physically strong men."

If Comrade Meng Youyou is forced to participate in this training and assessment competition, it will inevitably result in one side having only male "supporting roles" while the other side has one female "supporting role," which is unfair no matter how it is distributed.

It's not that I look down on women, it's just that men and women naturally have different physical abilities, and no matter how the competition is divided, it affects the most basic fairness of the competition!

This question really stumped Commander Peng. Ensuring fairness is the foundation for any competition to exist, and it was indeed a tricky issue.

Commander Peng strategically picked up his teacup and began to drink...

Please give me a recommendation vote!

Here's some information I forgot to mention (I omitted it):

Meng Youyou doesn't have memories of her time before she traveled here because her historical data was lost during the last system upgrade.

Therefore, she has no memory of her family in the capital.

To clarify further, there are word limits for updates during the PK period and the transition period. I will consider releasing more chapters at a suitable time later.

I'd also like to address the concerns about abandoning the book. If everything goes smoothly throughout the competition, I definitely won't abandon it. I genuinely love this book and have been working on it for a long time. Abandoning it would be unfair to all the friends who have supported "The Female Translator of the 80s" along the way. The only unforeseen factor is that there are still two rounds of competition (we've already successfully passed the first two rounds, thank you everyone). If we don't pass the later rounds, there might be some uncontrollable factors.

But I promise that if I successfully pass all the challenges, I will definitely finish writing this book.
