Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 398 Sitting in a Row, Sharing the Fruit

"See? What did I tell you? I told you you're a bit of a dark person, always looking down on people and judging them, didn't I? Now it seems I was right!"

"I was acting out of pure goodwill, purely out of humanitarian concern. I couldn't bear to see you suffering from illness due to a lack of medical care and resources, so I decided to provide you with a comprehensive hospital and a top-notch sanatorium."

"But what about you? You insist that there's a conspiracy behind this! As if I'm some kind of person who loves to take advantage of others, harboring a bellyful of bad intentions, and ready to scheme against you at any time! How can you be like this? We're best friends!"

As Xia Yiyi continued talking, she started rambling on and on again.

Since she was spouting nonsense about being a person of high moral character, Bai Ling wasn't going to be polite to her.

Following Xia Yiyi's lead, before she could change her tune, Bai Ling blurted out a sentence.

"Then on behalf of the people of Beijing, I thank you, my dear sister!"

He said it without the slightest hesitation.

With a simple tap of her finger, Bai Ling ended the video call.

This completely stumped Xia Yiyi!
I wanted to call Bai Ling back and tell her that I was just joking around and that she shouldn't take it seriously.
She was also afraid that something had happened over there, such as an unexpected situation like Ximen Lang suddenly coming to find her.

But if you do nothing and just accept it as the default setting...
Xia Yiyi's actions clearly demonstrate a genuine demand.

Just as Xia Yiyi was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do...

A pleasant ringtone sounded, and Xia Yiyi, who had never felt the caller ID sound so wonderful, quickly answered the video call that Bai Ling had sent again.

Then, Xia Yiyi, her face beaming with surprise, met Bai Ling's gaze, which was so sharp it seemed to see right through her.
Xia Yiyi, whose surprise froze on her face, was incredibly embarrassed.

Having had her fill of playing and teasing, and finally venting her anger, Bai Ling spoke with a serious expression.

"This is just a warning! Next time, if you dare to play these fancy tricks on me again, and spout nonsense, I'll really agree to it directly, report it immediately, and make it a fait accompli! Then we'll see who's more worried!"

Xia Yiyi quickly waved her hand and apologized.

"I won't do it again, Sister Ling. I won't do it again. Please, please don't. I know I was wrong. I'll never talk nonsense with you again."

Bai Ling then let her go.

He sighed and continued.

"Speak up, what do you want this time? Let me make this clear first, you'd better not mention any unreasonable demands that you know will embarrass everyone! Even if you do, I will absolutely not agree to them!"

He immediately laid out all the unpleasant conditions with Xia Yiyi and received her assurances.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Sister Ling, I know what's important, I definitely won't make things difficult for you!"

Making a gesture of invitation, Xia Yiyi finally expressed her own and future generations' requests.

"Actually, it's like this: our people have already been sent to your side, right? Since they're all security personnel, let's not let them sit idle; let's make use of them."

"Make use of them? In your opinion, where would be a suitable place to use these people?"

"Of course, we'll incorporate them all into the soon-to-be-established guard battalion! This will not only further strengthen A-Lang's security and ensure his safety, but also allow us to personally teach our soldiers how to use these high-tech weapons and equipment, enabling them to quickly master the relevant skills! It's a win-win situation. What do you think of my idea? Isn't it brilliant?"

Isn't that great?
Even Bai Ling, who was so proud of herself, wanted to punch Xia Yiyi's shameless face to pieces!
But as mentioned earlier, this was the price that the world of Beijing had to pay, and it was also a right that Xia Yiyi in the future should have obtained. Therefore, although Bai Ling was very resistant, in the end, she didn't say anything.

Instead, he gestured for Xia Yiyi to continue.

Since Bai Ling had already let her continue, Xia Yiyi naturally couldn't be polite to Bai Ling either.

Especially since she had just been tricked and taught a lesson by Bai Ling.

Having learned his lesson, he first gave Bai Ling a thumbs up and praised her.

"I knew Sister Ling was reasonable and wouldn't refuse!"

Then, without uttering a single unnecessary word, Xia Yiyi directly stated the second request from the future.

"Another aspect is their positions. Although the security personnel I sent over are all retired soldiers, they are actually very new, brand new!"

One of those incredibly new phrases made Bai Ling laugh in exasperation.

Even Xia Yiyi herself was incredibly embarrassed by her own outrageous statement.

But what needs to be said must be said properly.

So, although Xia Yiyi was very embarrassed, she still continued to finish the second half of her story without blushing or skipping a beat.

"As for loyalty, there is no doubt about it! They are absolutely the best of the best, the elite soldiers selected from various units! Especially the leader, he is an outstanding commander with a bloodline tradition, and even the superiors have high hopes for him! They are absolutely capable of taking on leadership roles at the grassroots level!"

"Therefore, our idea is to select the battalion commander of the guard battalion, the company commanders, the platoon leaders, and the squad leaders."

Good heavens! I had just finally agreed to include the people Xia Yi sent in the soon-to-be-established guard battalion, and now she's already got the nerve to want the command of the guard battalion!
"You even went after the class monitor! Yi-yi, you've really thought things through quite thoroughly!"

When Bai Ling said this, she was truly gritting her teeth, almost grinding them to powder.

Knowing that it was impossible and unrealistic to take over the command of the guard battalion all at once, Xia Yiyi compromised and said...

"It's a misunderstanding, Sister Ling. What I meant was that when considering the above candidates, we should give them more consideration; it's not about being greedy and wanting everything."

"You wish! And what blood ties? Get your facts straight, who are you talking to?"

Isn't it?
No matter how deep the blood ties or how outstanding that commander is, at best he is just an outstanding junior!
And any one of them, if picked out at random, would be a battle-hardened revolutionary warrior!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that everyone here is a combat hero!

"You think you can compete with us on this?!"

Xia Yi was silenced after being rebuked, and dared not bring up the bloodline connection again.

Seeing that Xia Yiyi had finally behaved herself and stopped arguing, Bai Ling spoke frankly.

"Battalion Commander, don't even think about it, because the battalion commander of the guard battalion is the combat hero Hao Pingchuan! Just look at Hao Pingchuan's scars and at least ten medals of merit, do you think you can compete with him?"
