Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1451 - 1455: The Worst Squad

"That centurion is named Chen Weiming..."

Qin Tian recalled what Leng Yu had told him, staring blankly at Chen Weiming before him.

"What are you staring at me for? Move it, from now on, you're my squad leader. Do a good job and don't embarrass me, or else, I'm not someone who's all talk!"

Chen Weiming gave Qin Tian a show of strength right from the start and left after speaking.

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, seeing that the other centurions around him who were picking people didn't say anything. He smiled faintly; it seemed he had already been tacitly chosen by Chen Weiming.

Since that was the case, Qin Tian didn't say much and followed Chen Weiming to his camp quarters.

"Kid, I heard you were quite arrogant at East Han Academy, is that so?"

Once they arrived at Chen Weiming's office, Chen Weiming sat down and provocatively questioned Qin Tian.

"No, I've always been quite low-key," Qin Tian replied nonchalantly.

Bam!

Chen Weiming slapped the table and said, "Low-key is good. Remember, no matter what you were like before, now that you're here, you better keep a low profile. In front of me, it's best to be an obedient subordinate, or else you'll be in for a hard time. Go on now, your subordinates are waiting for you in your camp courtyard. Hmph, they're hard to handle, but I demand you lead them well, or I won't go easy on you!"

Basically, Chen Weiming was here to threaten and provoke him, something Qin Tian was mentally prepared for. Ignoring him, Qin Tian went straight to the quarters Chen Weiming assigned to him.

As soon as he entered the camp courtyard, Qin Tian was stunned.

Damn, is this a courtyard? It's a complete mess of a junkyard!

The courtyard was littered with firewood, scattered iron tools and weapons, unwashed bowls and wooden buckets, and the ground seemed to have not been swept for three months, covered in fallen leaves and bird droppings—

This place reeked of a foul stench that made Qin Tian frown the moment he looked at it!

How lazy does one have to be to create this mess? Is this even a military camp?

Qin Tian was a bit furious, especially seeing a few guys sitting around drinking, sleeping, and playing chess in the courtyard.

Oh, these are his subordinates?

Damn, could this get any more screwed up?

Qin Tian finally realized the sly smile on Chen Weiming's lips when he mentioned earlier that there were subordinates waiting for him.

Now he understood, Chen Weiming was setting him up!

These subordinates were probably troublemakers, meant to become Chen Weiming's leverage against him!

With this thought, Qin Tian was beyond frustrated. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He walked directly into the courtyard; there were a total of nine people, and none of them acknowledged him.

"Ahem, ahem..."

Qin Tian feigned a couple of coughs, and a skinny guy who had been sleeping opened his eyes, noticed Qin Tian, and finally walked over, rubbing his eyes, "You're the new... squad leader?"

Qin Tian pursed his lips, staring at the young man who seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen, "You all should know I'm the new squad leader, right? Is this how you greet me? I'm flattered..."

The young man looked embarrassed and said with difficulty, "Squad leader, sorry, but we're... always like this..."

He gestured to the other eight people in the courtyard and said helplessly, "It's been like this for years. You're not the first; the other squad leaders faced the same situation. The longest one stayed about a month before requesting a transfer. The shortest one stayed a day and never came back..."

Hearing this, Qin Tian forced a smile, realizing this team wasn't assembled to deliberately slack off just for his benefit; these people were already like this!

This was even more problematic...

"You guys haven't had a squad leader for a while, right?" Qin Tian asked.

The young man nodded.

"What's your name?" Qin Tian asked again.

"I'm Ye Zhiyuan. Reporting to the squad leader," Ye Zhiyuan bowed slightly to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian looked at the two groups drinking and playing chess, "Ye Zhiyuan, can you get them to gather? Let's introduce ourselves."

Ye Zhiyuan made a difficult expression, "Sir, I... I'm afraid even I can't get them to move. You might not manage it either."

What?

Qin Tian was stunned. Is it really that tricky?

"My name is Qin Tian,"

Qin Tian said calmly, then asked in a low voice, "Ye Zhiyuan, why do you say they won't listen to me? I'm the new squad leader. Aren't they afraid of breaking military regulations and facing punishment?"

"If they were afraid, we wouldn't be the worst team in the City Guard Army..."

Ye Zhiyuan replied with a bitter smile, "Sir Qin..."

Qin Tian interrupted him, "Just call me Brother Qin Tian; I'm not much older than you."

"Huh?"

"It's fine. Go on, what's the reason?"

"Brother Qin, it's like this: the people here are either outcasts who got shunned, those who made mistakes and are instructed never to hold office again and can only be soldiers, or those who aren't afraid of punishment and casually violate regulations... So, you see..."

Qin Tian waved his hand, "I get it."

When Qin Tian first saw this group's situation, he was exceptionally angry.

After hearing Ye Zhiyuan's explanation, he understood.

These people were all misfits.

They had no future prospects but were unwilling to leave the City Guard Army because it offered decent Cultivation Immortality Resources and salaries, so they just lazed around, ignoring any orders. They were indeed quite bold!

"Doesn't the higher authority dare not dismiss them or have them expelled?" Qin Tian asked again.

This question left Ye Zhiyuan dumbfounded, shaking his head, "Brother Qin, I—I'm not sure why, but, except for me, who fears being dismissed or executed, the others don't seem to worry."

Qin Tian turned to Ye Zhiyuan again, "And you? I see the others here are over thirty, but you're under twenty. Why are you with them?"

Ye Zhiyuan blushed, "I... I... mostly because... um..."

"What is it?"

"I mainly wet the bed... so the City Guard Army... no other unit would accept me, only this one didn't mind, so I'm here."

Wet the bed?

Hearing this, Qin Tian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "You're eighteen or nineteen and still wet the bed?"

"I... I..."

Ye Zhiyuan's face turned even redder, nodding.

Qin Tian wanted to laugh, but seeing Ye Zhiyuan's embarrassed expression, he didn't laugh and patted Ye Zhiyuan's shoulder, "It's okay, wetting the bed isn't a big deal, and I don't mind it either."

He finished with an encouraging look.

Hearing this, Ye Zhiyuan was surprised, his face visibly brightening.
