Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 399 Long live understanding
Upon hearing that the soon-to-be-formed guard battalion commander was the battle-hardened Hao Pingchuan, Xia Yiyi immediately abandoned her idea of ​​having the commander compete with him for the position.

There is no other reason.

He simply couldn't compete with Hao Pingchuan!
Although the commander carefully selected by later generations was excellent in every aspect, even almost perfect.

But no matter how outstanding he is, can he compare to Hao Pingchuan, who has actually been on the battlefield, fought the Japanese with bayonets, and clashed head-on with the elite troops on the bald man's side?
His military medals alone could fill an entire drawer!

Compare with him?
How dare you compare your head to that?!

Whether it's seniority, contributions, rank, or experience, Hao Pingchuan is far ahead in every aspect, even completely overwhelming the outstanding commanders selected here!
Unable to muster even the slightest thought of competing with him, Xia Yiyi immediately set her sights on the ZW position, which was no less important than that of the battalion commander.

Unfortunately, Xia Yiyi had only just had this thought in mind before she had a chance to say it.

Bai Ling then added a sentence very promptly.

"You can forget about the ZW position! Because Lao Luo will be traveling with us this time, he'll be taking on the ZW position himself!"

"This is Lao Luo, such a big shot, personally coming! You don't mean to send someone else to compete with him for the ZW position, do you?"

If Xia Yiyi were to put in some effort and be a little shameless, she might have a tiny chance of competing with Hao Pingchuan for the battalion commander position.
This person, even by today's standards, would be considered a top-tier, heavyweight figure.
Even if Xia Yiyi were truly insane, she would never dare to play these fancy tricks with him!
In short, they are veterans who held original shares.
It ended right there, leaving future generations completely dominated!

How can you compare?
Who could you possibly send to compete with this big shot?!

Xia Yiyi, who was sweating profusely, couldn't help but ask, "I really didn't expect this big shot to come in person."

"For such a small matter, Lao Luo actually came in person. Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

Actually, what Xia Yiyi really wanted to say was...
"Isn't what you're doing a bit too much of a bully?!"

Unfortunately, this is a true big shot.

Even if it's just for his sake, Xia Yiyi shouldn't speak so recklessly; she must give him the most basic respect.

So, the words were already on the tip of my tongue.

In the end, Xia Yiyi still felt extremely frustrated and changed her accusation of bullying to making a mountain out of a molehill.

Because Xia Yiyi's face turned a deep purplish-red, Bai Ling could immediately tell that Xia Yiyi was feeling frustrated.

Seeing that the child was feeling extremely frustrated, they realized that it was indeed a bit too much for Lao Luo to personally intervene.

Fearing misunderstandings from later generations, led by Xia Yiyi, Bai Ling explained further.

"Let me make this clear beforehand, this isn't a spur-of-the-moment decision to shut you up; it's a fact that was approved by our superiors long ago, from the moment we decided to form the guard battalion!"

"After all, the importance of this position is undeniable, and it wouldn't be appropriate to choose anyone else. There's no other way but to let Lao Luo take on this additional responsibility for now."

Feeling that she still hadn't explained things clearly, Bai Ling added another sentence.

"Let me put it this way, if it weren't for the relationship between Hao Pingchuan and A Lang, he would have always been in charge of A Lang's security without any major problems."

"Don't let his current position as deputy factory director fool you; he might not even get the battalion commander position! Do you understand what I mean?"

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

Xia Yiyi truly empathized with and understood what Bai Ling was saying.

Because the situation here will be the same in later generations!
The person in charge of security for Ximen Lang is also of an exceptionally high rank!
Understanding is one thing, but to say acceptance is another.
Sorry, this is really not easy.

Bai Ling, of course, knew exactly what was going on. Therefore, when she saw Xia Yiyi's eyebrows furrowed into a tight knot, looking utterly aggrieved, she was quite surprised.

Bai Ling's attitude softened, and she offered words of comfort.

"Alright, stop feeling aggrieved. You interfered in our affairs without consulting us first, and I haven't said anything. What are you complaining about?"

"Besides, if you can't become a battalion commander or ZW, there's still the deputy one, right? You've already forced your way in and brought out all these benefits. How can we not consider your feelings?"

"So don't worry, although you can't get the full-time positions, we'll definitely keep the deputy positions for you."

After some persuasion, Xia Yiyi's mood finally improved a little.

At least it's not that unacceptable.

Bai Ling has already put it this way.

And indeed, it's already quite good that we were able to secure this condition for these people from the past.

Asking for more is clearly unrealistic.

Gradually, Xia Yiyi also let go of her worries.

He truly opened his heart and began to speak frankly with Bai Ling.

"Sister Ling, you're really getting a great deal! You're using the title of 'senior' to your advantage! We're just as good as you, and our awareness is no less than yours, but... but... ugh, I'm so frustrated!"

Bai Ling was amused by what she heard.

Too lazy to dwell on these meaningless matters any longer, Xia Yiyi briefly introduced the personnel composition and the deeper purpose of this move to Bai Ling.

"Actually, the reason I insisted on forcing them in this time, besides the reason that you know and I know, but no one can say out loud, is that we are really thinking of you!"

"Don't rush to refute me, let me finish what I have to say."

Having fired a warning shot to calm Bai Ling down, Xia Yiyi continued.

"You know Ah Lang's personality better than anyone. You also know the road conditions over there better than anyone."

"To put it bluntly, with your lousy road, if Ah Lang could actually endure three days of bumpy travel, I'd be overestimating him! You'll definitely end up switching to waterways eventually."

"To travel by water, you need boats! You need good boats, but who will steer them? Besides the men I sent, who else on your side do you think can handle them?"

"So, to put it simply, this is for the smoothness of your journey; to put it more broadly, I'm helping you solidify the foundation of your navy!"

"And you still don't appreciate it? You always think I'm trying to take advantage of you. Tell me, is that reasonable?"

These words instantly changed Bai Ling's opinion of people from later generations.

They even immediately had the idea of ​​keeping them, no matter what.

Just as I was thinking this, Xia Yi spoke up.

"I advise you not to get any funny ideas. Don't forget, you have a bunch of treasures over there that I'm really drooling over!"
