From a distance, Officer Bai smiled and reached out his hand, "Hey, Seventh Company Commander."

Gao Laoqi didn't give him a friendly look, and instead of shaking hands, he gave a salute.

Bai, being used to this, quickly returned the greeting, saying, "The regimental commander has recommended a soldier to your company. He's a good soldier; the regimental commander really likes this soldier."

Gao Cheng didn't even reply. He walked straight up to Xu Sanduo, using his height advantage to look down at the private with his head down. "Xu Sanduo, are you a good soldier?"

Xu Sanduo hung his head and said, "Report, report, I, I'm not a good soldier."

"Oh." Gao Cheng ignored Bai Ganshi and Xu Sanduo and walked into the dormitory building.

Bai, the officer, was dumbfounded. Everyone knew Gao Laoqi was ruthless, but this was too direct. He was an officer in the regiment headquarters, after all; he had his pride.

Then he told himself, "Forget it, forget it. What face do I have in front of Gao Laoqi? It's more important to complete the regimental commander's task first."

Without hesitation, Bai Ganshi quickly chased after Gao Cheng's retreating figure.

"Hey, Seventh Company Commander, Seventh Company Commander, Seventh Company Commander, wait for me! This is the regimental commander's order."

Bai chased after him, shouting as he went, but Gao Cheng ignored him and strode on.

"Hey, no, as long as I keep the person here, the rest is none of my business," Bai suddenly thought of a way and quickly walked out of the dormitory building again.

At the dormitory entrance, Xu Sanduo smiled broadly as he watched Zhang Anbang and Wu Liu walk over.

"Deputy Company Commander, Squad Leader Wu."

"Sanduo, you're amazing! You've managed to fight your way up from the fifth squad to the combat company. Not bad, very good." Zhang Anbang smiled and patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder.

As for Wu Liuyi, he was initially a little confused as to why the comrade had brought Xu Sanduo along. After all, he had heard that Xu Sanduo had been transferred to the Fifth Platoon on the grassland, where even Platoon Leader Lao Ma had perished. Xu Sanduo was just a new recruit...

As soon as Zhang Anbang spoke, he instantly realized that it was true. Xu Sanduo had come out to fight. Everyone knew that Commander Wang Qingrui valued talent.

Just like how Officer Zhang was good at sculpting clay figures and had artistic talents, he was noticed by the regimental leader and transferred to the regimental publicity department as a publicity officer, responsible for editing the regimental newspaper, interviewing and taking photos, and publicizing typical deeds.

Over the years, what was once a grassroots soldier is now carrying a 13-cent bag.

Now that Officer Bai has brought Xu Sanduo to the doorstep of the Seventh Company, it means that the regimental commander has really brought Xu Sanduo to the Seventh Company.

At this moment, Wu Liuyi's brain was working at lightning speed. The person sent by the regimental commander must be accepted. No matter how powerful the company commander is, he can't go against the regimental commander. Even if he did, he definitely wouldn't win.

Therefore, Xu Sanduo must be accepted. However, among the twelve combat squads of the Steel Seventh Company, only the Third Squad is short one person because its squad leader has been transferred to the regimental training team. That means Xu Sanduo will have to come to the Third Squad.

"Damn it, this is aimed at me." Wu Liuyi gritted his teeth and nodded to Xu Sanduo. At this moment, the pain of the three months in the recruit training camp came crashing down on him like a giant wave.

No, I can't stay here any longer. Wu Liuyi nodded to Zhang Anbang, turned around and chased after Gao Cheng. No, I have to go and discuss this with the company commander right away.

Seeing Wu Liuyi turn and leave, Xu Sanduo's smile, which had been tinged with pride because of Zhang Anbang's praise, vanished instantly.

Zhang Anbang found it a bit funny. What was wrong with Xu Mumu? She was doing quite well leading the recruit training, so why did she back down again?

"Deputy Company Commander Zhang, what's wrong with Company Commander Gao?"

Bai, who had run back to the dormitory entrance, was a little confused. Although he had heard that Gao Laoqi had a bad temper and a sharp tongue, the regimental commander had only asked him to send over a good soldier. It shouldn't be like this.

Besides, Gao Laoqi has always liked good soldiers, right? Oh, that's right. This Xu Sanduo looks like a little quail. He doesn't look like a good soldier at all.

This Xu Sanduo is a cripple. Gao Laoqi brought a new recruit company at the end of last year, which means that Xu Sanduo is 90% a recruit trained by Gao Laoqi, and he has long looked down on him.

So when he came to see someone off this time, Gao Laoqi put on a sullen face and looked very unhappy. It's understandable that he didn't like him back then, and he definitely still doesn't like him now. If it were me, I would also put on a sour face.

No, if I had everything Gao Laoqi had, I'd be even more awesome than him.

The case is solved; it's most likely true. I need to figure out a way to hand over the duties and leave quickly. However, I heard at the regimental headquarters that Zhang Anbang is no pushover either.

This guy not only takes advantage of others just like Gao Laoqi, but he's even more insidious than Gao Laoqi. I don't know...

Forget it, forget it, forget it. At worst, we can just help the Seventh Company more in the future and give them some advance information within the compliant procedures. Does that seem unnecessary? This is the Steel Seventh Company, a true elite force of the entire division.

I tried to help their Seventh Company with the equipment application and site approval processes, but it didn't work. My influence isn't as great as those guys in the Seventh Company.

Helping them coordinate the speed of resource allocation, it seems that no company in the entire division can allocate resources faster than the Steel Seventh Company.

Blowing influence in front of the commander is even less effective. What else can you do? You're so dense, think of something!

While chuckling, Bai was racking his brains, not yet able to think of anything he could help with, when Zhang Anbang chuckled and spoke up.

"Oh, Officer Bai, it's nothing, nothing. We were doing maintenance in the garage just now, and our company commander accidentally hit his foot with a hammer. He's in a bad mood, please forgive him. By the way, Officer Bai, what brings you here today?"

Zhang Anbang casually made up a reason for Gao Cheng's dark face: Xu Sanduo was a bit simple-minded, but not stupid. He couldn't say anything too harsh in front of him.

"Oh. Is that so? Well, these ten fingers are connected to the heart, so pain will definitely put you in a bad mood," said Manager Bai with an expression that said he believed whatever he was told.

"Is that so? Deputy Company Commander Zhang, this Private, Comrade Xu Sanduo, during his time stationed in the Fifth Platoon of the Third Company, he made remarkable achievements despite the difficulties and dangers. He is a good soldier."

The regimental commander specifically instructed me to send this good soldier to your Steel Seventh Company. You see…”

"Oh, that's good news. The regimental commander is so kind, always thinking of our Seventh Company when something good happens. Come on, have a smoke." Zhang Anbang said, handing over a cigarette.

"Oh, thank you, Deputy Company Commander Zhang. I'll leave Xu Sanduo to you then. I have some things to do at the regiment, so I'll head back now."

"Okay, okay, leave it to me. Take care, Bai Ganshi." Zhang Anbang saluted as a farewell.

Officer Bai quickly returned the greeting. Indeed, rumors shouldn't be believed so easily. Deputy Company Commander Zhang was doing just fine, talking and laughing all the time. Seeing is believing, after all.

"Sanduo, let's go, keep up," Zhang Anbang said, and walked directly towards the company headquarters office.

Before we even got close to the company headquarters office, we could hear voices coming from inside.

"He's been gone for half a year and he's back again. I don't want him. I don't care what his relationship is with the regimental commander. The gates of the Steel Seventh Company will forever remain closed to this soldier." That was Gao Cheng's voice.

"Company Commander, I think you're right. This soldier isn't suitable for the Steel Seventh Company, but the regimental commander sent him after all." Wu Liuyi's voice was filled with helplessness. If Xu Sanduo had come in, he would definitely have been assigned to his Third Platoon.

"Hey, Sanduo, wait at the stairwell for a bit. I'll have you take me to the mess hall to handle the catering arrangements." Hearing this conversation, Zhang Anbang immediately told Xu Sanduo not to come any closer.

"The Steel Seventh Company doesn't accept soldiers who surrender. I turned a blind eye to him during recruit training, but who would have thought he'd come back after all this time? Who does he think he is? Ah, why did Shi Jin recruit him in the first place?"

"Uh, company commander, regimental commander..."

"What's wrong with the regimental commander? He knows my soldiers better than I do. I'll go talk to him and tell him to send them to where they came from."

Another voice came from behind, it was Instructor Hong Xingguo, "Old Gao, why do you dislike this soldier so much?"

"Because I remember it vividly. On the day he received his troops, he was so scared by his own tanks that I couldn't do that. He raised his hands in surrender."

Hong Xingguo's voice rang out, "Okay, I'll go talk to the regimental commander and tell him why we don't want him."

"You don't need to say anything..."

Before Gao Cheng could finish speaking, the office door creaked open.

"Company commander, political instructor, what's all this noise about? We can hear you from far away." Zhang Anbang came in with a smile.

"You, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to." Gao Cheng rolled his eyes at Zhang Anbang with a look of disgust.

"Liu Yi, take Xu Sanduo to handle the meal arrangements. He'll be assigned to your class."

"Yes, Deputy Company Commander." Wu Liuyi answered readily, but his eyes were fixed on Gao Cheng.

"Go where? I, I don't want to, I don't want surrendered soldiers, there's no reason." Gao Cheng stared straight at Wu Liuyi.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xingguo turned and left, looking as if he was about to communicate with the regimental commander. He had partnered with Gao Cheng for several years and knew Gao Cheng's personality all too well; he was easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force.

The only people in the Seventh Steel Company who could easily persuade Gao Cheng were Shi Jin and Zhang Anbang. Although Shi Jin had been transferred, the Seventh Steel Company had arrived. "Hurry up and leave! With fewer people, it will save face for Lao Gao."

Hong Xingguo acted decisively, grabbing Wu Liuyi and leaving the office. "Liuyi, take him to handle the food arrangements, then bring him back to your class to arrange his bunk."

"Yes." Wu Liuyi was a little helpless, but once the order was given, it had to be carried out.

Hong Xingguo knew very well that Gao Cheng's words of refusal were actually just a way of expressing his anger without a valid reason. He disliked Xu Sanduo's surrender gestures from the new recruits, but he couldn't come up with a legitimate reason for refusing the transfer of troops from his superiors.

That was sent by the regimental commander. Even if it was sent down to the production base, it couldn't be directly sent back; that would be very inappropriate.
