Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

As the conference room door closed, Gao Cheng lit another cigarette. "Liu Yi, what happened to that Cheng Cai you mentioned earlier? Tell me more."

Wu Liuyi took out his notebook and flipped through it. "Company Commander, most of the new recruits in my platoon are quite good. Compared to the training results of new recruits in previous years during their first month, this batch of recruits is very good."

Especially Cheng Cai, whose performance in all aspects is excellent. Although there hasn't been a formal assessment yet, his overall score is definitely the highest among this batch of new recruits.

Gao Cheng nodded. "That's great. What about the others?"

"Everything else is fine so far, nothing particularly outstanding, except for Cheng Cai. Although he is very good in all aspects, I just feel that he seems a bit fake."

Hearing Wu Liuyi's words, Shi Jin frowned slightly and retorted, "Liuyi, don't jump to conclusions so easily. It's not good to say it like that."

Wu Liuyi has been under Shi Jin's tutelage since he enlisted. He was one of the first recruits Shi Jin trained. He was discovered and nurtured by Shi Jin during his recruit days and gradually honed into a top soldier of the Steel Seventh Company. The two are tacit partners who are both mentor and friend.

Shi Jin naturally knew that Wu Liuyi had a good relationship with the company commander and deputy company commander, but being as meticulous as he was, he was still worried that Liuyi's words might leave a bad impression on the two leaders.

Furthermore, Cheng Cai was, after all, a soldier trained by Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin, so they should at least take care of him a little.

Seeing Shi Jin's slightly furrowed brows, Wu Liu knew that Shi Jin was unhappy, so he quickly explained, "Let me put it this way, every time I look at him, he knows that I'm watching him. He behaves very well, but I feel that his excellence is just for show."

Shi Jin opened his mouth but didn't say anything. As the platoon leader of the second platoon of new recruits, although he didn't directly manage the class, his years of experience leading troops meant that he could tell from a simple look that Cheng Cai definitely had some problems.

Gao Cheng handed out several bottles of water to the group, then opened one for himself and took a sip. "Leaving aside Cheng Cai's issue, is there anything else about the other soldiers that deserves special attention?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Jin also perked up his ears, ready to hear what Wu Liuyi thought of the other new recruits. Although Gao Cheng didn't say it explicitly, Shi Jin could already tell that he intended to let Cheng Cai join the Steel Seventh Company.

Wu Liuyi scratched his head, flipped through his notebook and said, "As for the other recruits, there aren't any particularly outstanding ones at the moment. The other ones who are pretty good, if they enter our Seventh Company at their current level, they'll probably only be at the level of the second half of the season."

Zhang Anbang smiled and said, "Company Commander, you're being a bit greedy. Our new recruit company only has a little over a hundred people. It would be great if we produced one or two outstanding soldiers. You're still hoping for more?"

"Your idea is wrong. I wish all one hundred-plus recruits were elite soldiers," Gao Cheng said with a grin, completely ignoring Zhang Anbang's mocking tone that suggested he was indulging in wishful thinking.

"But you're right. The Seventh Steel Company only accepts the best. If someone who isn't good enough gets into the Seventh Company, not only will they drag the company down, but they themselves won't be able to stand it either."

He then looked at Wu Liuyi and said, "As for Cheng Cai's problem, that's not a problem at all. As for the issue you just mentioned about him liking to show off, that's not a problem at all in the Seventh Company."

Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi looked at Gao Cheng with some confusion, not understanding what the company commander meant by those words.

Zhang Anbang provided the answer: "Since he loves to show off in front of you so much, it means that this guy is inherently competitive. Does the Seventh Company need someone like that? Is the Seventh Company afraid of his competitiveness or his showing off?"

Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi shook their heads. "No, the Seventh Company is afraid he won't compete."

Gao Cheng laughed heartily, "That's right, I'm not afraid of him competing or showing off. Soldiers of the Seventh Company must have a competitive spirit. Let's keep him here."

I was worried that once he got to the Seventh Company, he wouldn't dare to perform well and wouldn't dare to compete with you, Wu Liuyi.

Wu Liuyi stopped talking. He couldn't wait for someone to compete with him. He used to be the undisputed No. 1 in the Steel Seventh Company. After the deputy company commander arrived, he first caught up with him in every aspect, and now he has surpassed him in many aspects.

He would be more than happy to have another competitor; Wu Liuyi has never been afraid of competition.

Seeing that he couldn't find any good recruits, Gao Cheng nodded with some disappointment. However, this was normal. Good soldiers were not easy to find. As the saying goes, it's easy to find a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general.

Good soldiers and promising talents, while not exactly rare generals, are still quite rare.

Then Gao Cheng looked at the group and saw Zhang Anbang's ambiguous smile. He wanted to punch him. What, you benefited from transferring the elite soldier to the Seventh Company, and you're still laughing at me?

"Shi Jin, do you have anything to say? After all, it's about selecting soldiers for our Seventh Company, so your opinion as a key member is very important."

Shi Jin put away the recruit training report card that Wu Liuyi handed over. "They're all good recruits, I have no objections, it's just that I think..."

Seeing Shi Jin's hesitant manner, Gao Cheng directly scolded, "Why are you stammering? If you have something to say, just say it. What's the matter? An Bang and I will handle it."

Shi Jin looked at Gao Chengbu's expression and whispered, "It's like this, I need another soldier..."

"Want a soldier? Who is it? Is it a relative of yours? If it's a relative of yours, I might actually take him out of respect for you, as long as he passes all the tests."

Gao Cheng chuckled and said that he readily agreed to Shi Jin's request before Shi Jin could even finish speaking.

Hearing Gao Cheng's earlier joking remarks, Shi Jin knew Gao Cheng was teasing him. He felt a sense of relief when Gao Cheng said he could have him, but then, upon hearing that he had passed all the tests, cold sweat broke out on his back. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the three of them. His hand unconsciously rubbed his belt as he stammered, "I...I want...Xu Sanduo."

"Who? Who are you talking about? Xu Sanduo? Let me tell you, this is impossible, absolutely impossible. I would never want him, no matter who I have."

Gao Cheng was so angry his hair was practically standing on end. The moment the name Xu Sanduo was mentioned, his hand holding the cigarette trembled.

With a bang, Gao Cheng kicked over the chairs behind him and started pacing around the conference room. Even though Shi Jin was his most admired class monitor, he rejected Shi Jin's idea without a second thought.

"Let me tell you, Shi Jin, I've been in the army for so many years, and I can always see the strengths of any soldier, but so far, I haven't found any strengths in Xu Sanduo."

Gao Cheng said angrily, and in two puffs, he smoked the remaining cigarette in his hand until only the cigarette butt was left.

Zhang Anbang put down his bottle of mineral water and replied, "Company Commander, it's not that bad. I think Xu Sanduo has a very good memory."

"You, Xiao Qi, why are you interrupting when you're just drinking your water?" Gao Cheng glared at Zhang Anbang upon hearing his words.

Upon hearing Zhang Anbang's words, Shi Jin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully at Zhang Anbang. The deputy company commander was truly reliable; he always stepped up when needed.

His mind immediately became active. "That's right, Company Commander. The Deputy Company Commander is right. This Comrade Sanduo not only has a good memory, but he is also the most serious about training in the recruit company."

"So, you assign him to our platoon, and I guarantee I'll get him out of there. You know my capabilities, Company Commander."

Before Gao Cheng could speak, Wu Liuyi's loud voice rang out, "I object! Is he really serious about training? Is he hardworking? Why is he ranked last among all the new recruits in the entire recruit company?"

It's true that he had the longest training time, but that's because his movements were always incorrect. I had to force him to do extra training, and even then he still couldn't keep up with the pace of the recruit training camp.

You're saying that's considered diligent and hardworking? What about the other recruits? What about Cheng Cai, who's currently ranked first overall? That's unfair to the others.

Hearing Wu Liuyi's words, Shi Jin was also a little embarrassed. He had been so focused on persuading the company commander to accept Xu Sanduo that he hadn't thought about Cheng Cai's situation. Now he was in an awkward position.
