Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 107 Isn't it just a perfect score? I should be able to do it

When they arrived at Nanjing Station, they got off the train together.

As Chen Jiang was walking, he was trying to persuade Zhong Laoxiong to go to the hospital for a checkup. However, he unexpectedly ran into someone who came to pick him up.
I saw a cadet soldier wearing red epaulettes already waiting at the exit.
"grandfather!"

Mr. Zhong's face turned serious. "Xiao Zhong, why are you here? Are you kidding me? Are you not going to school anymore?"

"Oh, Grandpa, you've done a really good job of keeping this a secret. Since you came to Nanjing, why didn't you call in advance? If Grandma hadn't secretly told me, I would have been kept in the dark too."

"That old woman just loves to talk nonsense. I told her not to tell you guys. She just came to see you, it's not a big deal."

After a few words between the two, Chen Jiang roughly understood the situation: It seems that Mr. Zhong was afraid of troublesome his descendants, so he chose to come to Nanjing alone by train.

"Who is this?" Xiao Zhong realized at this time that Chen Jiang was also a student soldier, so he asked.

"Oh, look at my memory. Come, Xiao Zhong, let me introduce him to you," Old Zhong pulled him in front of Chen Jiang.

"This is Chen Jiang, also a cadet soldier from your school, and this is my grandson Zhong Yiming."

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

The two men greeted each other with a military salute, and then exchanged a few simple pleasantries. Only then did they learn that Zhong Yiming was two years older than Chen Jiang, and was a third-year undergraduate student in the Command Department of the Army Academy, and would graduate next year.

Zhong Yiming was very surprised to hear that Chen Jiang had first passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a full-time undergraduate program at Nanjing University, then signed up to join the army, and was finally promoted to officer among the soldiers.

He had been in the military academy for so long that he knew too well how difficult it was to be promoted among soldiers, not to mention that it was even more incredible for a student soldier like him to become a top military officer in the army.

Everyone in the army respects the strong, so he immediately felt more favorable towards Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang originally wanted to mention the condition of Mr. Zhong's illness, but he was interrupted by Mr. Zhong twice.

Mr. Zhong kept winking at Chen Jiang, and his meaning was very clear: he didn't want to make his family worry.

He also insisted that Zhong Yiming send Chen Jiang to school first, and he would take the bus back.

Zhong Yiming didn't dare to go against his grandfather's wishes, but how could he let his grandfather squeeze on the bus?

So when he drove Chen Jiang back to school, Chen Jiang asked him why he left Mr. Zhong there alone?

Zhong Yiming shook his head helplessly. "My grandfather has a very stubborn temper. Once he makes a decision, it's impossible to change it. Instead of arguing with him at the train station, it's better to change his mindset. Don't worry, I told my mother about it on the way here, and she's already here."

Chen Jiang thought, this family is really interesting.

But he also didn't want anything to happen to Mr. Zhong. Out of responsibility for Mr. Zhong's health, he told Zhong Yiming everything that happened on the road.

Zhong Yiming was shocked after hearing this and immediately sent a text message to his mother, asking her to send the old man to the hospital for a full-body check-up at all costs.

"Chen Jiang, thank you. Our Zhong family owes you a huge favor."

After sending the message, Zhong Yiming said to Chen Jiang very seriously. "It's a small matter. I just happened to run into it. If it were someone else, they wouldn't stand idly by." Chen Jiang said it very casually.

Zhong Yiming didn't say much. Maybe he was in a hurry, so he stepped on the accelerator harder. It didn't take long for him to reach the school.

He also took a leave today, so after sending Chen Jiang off, he could only go back to his department to attend classes.

Seeing that he could actually drive into the school, Chen Jiang couldn't help but become curious about his family situation. How could he drive in without any background?
However, he didn't have enough free time to think about this problem for the time being. When he got to Chen Jinsong, the troublesome matters really gave him a headache.

Because he had a heavy training schedule before, he was not contacted for the midterm exam and could only be treated as absent. The midterm exam accounted for a certain proportion of the total assessment score.

Unless he gets straight A's in his final exam, he will most likely fail.

Chen Jinsong also expressed his apologies, because the midterm exams were not counted into the final total assessment score in the past. This is a new rule this year, and the emphasis is on regular work.

This put a lot of pressure on Chen Jiang. He had learned all his subjects by himself, so it was not a problem for him to pass, but if he wanted to get all A's, it would be very difficult.

Moreover, he also has to prepare for the final military skills test, which is only a few days away.

"Chen Jiang, don't worry. I'll ask the school leaders for help and see if they can make some concessions." Chen Jinsong comforted him.

"It's okay, Teacher Chen. It's just an A, right? I should be able to do it. It's just that I may have to trouble you more often in the future."

Chen Jiang was well aware of the discipline in the military academy. With clear regulations in place, the probability of successfully interceding for favors or making adjustments was very low, and this was not the result he wanted.

It’s not that it’s impossible now, it’s just that it’s more difficult, not necessarily that there is no hope.

"Okay, I trust your ability. If you have any questions, you can ask me and other teachers anytime, anywhere."

How could Chen Jinsong not have tried to fight for it? He had thought of every possible way, and now he was saying this, he was just being shameless and asking for help from a higher-level leader.

After all, he was very optimistic about Chen Jiang. It would be a pity if such a good seedling like him failed.

After Chen Jiang returned to the dormitory, he didn't bother to exchange too much greetings with Tang Hu and the others, and began to plunge into the intense review stage. He would ask his classmates in time about some things he didn't understand. If the answers he got from his classmates were ambiguous, he would ask the teacher.

Because the semester for this group of promotion students was about to end, there were not many classes during the day, and most of the time was left for strengthening military skills, which happened to be Chen Jiang's strengths, so he used all this time to study.

During this period, Zhong Yiming came to see him several times. One time, he wanted to invite him to his home for a simple meal, saying that his grandfather wanted to see him.

But Chen Jiang declined. Firstly, his academic workload was too heavy. Secondly, he felt that saving people was not worth mentioning. Why bother going to someone's house to bother them?

The days passed one by one, and soon it was the day of the final exam. While others' goal was to pass, he wanted to challenge his own limits.

He had to give his best in every subject, which made Tang Hu and the others worry for him.

Tang Hu had privately told Zhao Chunqiang and the others that it was already very difficult for him to pass the exam, so what was the concept of getting perfect scores?
Chen Jiang took every exam very seriously. He worked through the questions quickly but carefully. This was a habit he developed when he was in middle school. Now, with his wholehearted dedication, that old feeling seemed to have returned.
