Chapter 206: Chapter 205: Like a Fish in Water (985+ Monthly Tickets)

The new recruits’ company had its advantages, so Gao Jiaxing quickly thrived there, becoming a dazzling presence among the new recruits.

Liu Yuanchao was as thrilled as if he had found a treasure and paid even more attention to cultivating Gao Jiaxing, as such an outstanding talent was rare and hard to come by.

The levels of new recruits varied greatly, and while getting everyone to qualify wasn’t difficult, it was a challenge to at least build on a good foundation and make each of them stand out as excellent.

It also required time and experience, a variety of training, practice, and challenges, grinding them into skilled individuals.

Gao Jiaxing also knew that Liu Yuanchao was intent on developing his potential, so he worked extremely hard, even more so than others.

He did not underestimate anyone and, thanks to the upbringing of Gao Guoqiang since childhood, Gao Jiaxing learned faster than others, reacted quickly, and was nimble—the result of Gao Guoqiang’s thoughtful cultivation of his son.

Originally, Gao Guoqiang wanted both Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing to join the military, but Zheng Xianghong was unwilling to risk either of her only two sons going to the army.

Gao Jiazhi’s path was not something Gao Guoqiang could arrange; as for Gao Jiaxing, Gao Guoqiang’s only son, he was also afraid of losing him, so in the end Gao Guoqiang did not agree to let Gao Jiaxing enlist.

But the groundwork that Gao Guoqiang laid for Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing remained, which was Gao Jiaxing’s greatest asset. He also grew up with the He Brothers and had been instructed by He Hongjun.

While Gao Guoqiang and He Hongjun had no intention of competing, the children of the two families had grown up fighting with each other, developing a bond as they got older.

The educational approaches of Gao Guoqiang and He Hongjun were similar, and they both supported their children competing and gaining experience. However, Zheng Xianghong and Li Shengmei had different views. Zheng Xianghong encouraged them while Li Shengmei would berate, questioning why her sons were so useless and how they could lose to Zheng Xianghong’s son, then demanding that they beat him the next time.

Li Shengmei held a high position in the family, and whatever she said was listened to by He Hongjun, who also hoped that his sons would be more successful than Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing.

Unfortunately, whenever the He Brothers fought the Gao Brothers, they either tied or lost. Li Shengmei’s words had no effect.

The large unit that He Xuegang and He Xuebing were part of had many outstanding soldiers when they joined as new recruits. Although He Xuegang and He Xuebing also performed well, they didn’t stand out dramatically. With so many excellent individuals, it was hard for them to rise to the top.

Furthermore, He Xuebing had caught the eye of the regiment commander’s daughter, which had led to jealousy and resentment from others, naturally resulting in people creating stumbling blocks for him.

Meanwhile, He Xuegang received a letter from Li Shengmei mentioning that Gao Jiazhi’s wife was pregnant. He felt envious upon reading it.

He Xuegang was the same age as Gao Jiazhi and had grown up with him. He had married before Gao Jiazhi, but Gao Jiazhi was going to have a child before him, which made him very envious.

"Bingzi, are you going home for the New Year?" He Xuegang asked He Xuebing.

He Xuebing shook his head; he didn’t want to go back, and returning home felt meaningless to him.

He Xuegang said, "You should know there’s a limit to throwing a temper tantrum."

He Xuegang wanted to say more, but then he thought that it might be better if He Xuebing didn’t go home; staying in the army meant more opportunities to see Yu Zhen.

With Xia Xiao still working in the production team, it wasn’t ideal for He Xuebing to go back, so He Xuegang didn’t persist.

However, He Xuegang added, "Mom’s letter said that Gao Jiaxing has joined the military, but I don’t know which unit he’s in."

He Xuebing looked over and said, "He joined the army?"

"Yeah, who knows what connections that kid found. He didn’t take the college entrance exam, and now they’re not recruiting from rural areas anymore, so it must have been a special recruitment."

As soon as He Xuegang said this, both brothers felt complicated inside. Special recruitment implied two possibilities: either having connections or being exceptionally outstanding. And even with connections, one had to have good to excellent physical fitness.

They both knew Gao Jiaxing’s capabilities well, so it was possible that one day, while they were still soldiers, Gao Jiaxing might already have surpassed them.

He Xuegang then said, "Nowadays, there’s no war to fight. If we continue like this, we’ll end up just retiring and going home. Are you satisfied with that, Bingzi?"

He Xuebing remained silent. Of course, he wasn’t satisfied, but in this unit, it was extremely difficult to get ahead. They had both tried hard but struggled to stand out, waiting for an opportunity.

"Is Mr. He around?"

Hearing Yu Zhen’s voice, He Xuegang lifted the corner of his mouth and greeted her, "Mr. Yu."

"Mr. He is here too," said Yu Zhen as she walked in, smiling.

He Xuegang was about to leave, giving He Xuebing and Yu Zhen some space, but He Xuebing had already beaten him to the door and left first.

He Xuegang and Yu Zhen: "..."

"It seems Mr. He really doesn’t want to see me," Yu Zhen said, somewhat dejectedly.

He Xuegang gritted his teeth, frustrated with He Xuebing for being so obstinate, and could only say to Yu Zhen, "He’s just been in a bad mood recently. Don’t take it personally, Mr. Yu."

"Mr. He, you must have noticed my feelings for Mr. He, right? Do you know any way to get him to agree to date me?" Yu Zhen asked. She truly liked He Xuebing, so much so that she was willing to set aside her own pride for him.

He Xuegang had a moment of inspiration and asked, "Does the regiment commander approve, Mr. Yu?"

"This..." Yu Zhen was at a loss for words.

He Xuegang felt disappointed, having assumed that Yu Zhen’s pursuit was with the regiment commander’s consent, only to find it was just her own wishful thinking.

This was problematic; if the regiment commander disapproved, the brothers would have a tough time in the army. Fearing this, He Xuegang grew stern and said, "Mr. Yu, if the regiment commander agrees, you can ask him to talk to my brother. But if he doesn’t, please don’t come looking for my brother anymore."

Although He Xuegang hoped Yu Zhen and He Xuebing could be together, it was under the condition that the regiment commander agreed. Otherwise, they couldn’t bear the wrath of the regiment commander if they went behind his back with his daughter.

Thus, at that moment, He Xuegang’s hopes dimmed, and his initial enthusiasm seemed quenched by cold water.

"Don’t worry, my father will definitely agree," Yu Zhen asserted and then stomped her foot before running off.

Now, He Xuegang could only hope that Yu Zhen was somewhat influential and persistent enough to persuade the regiment commander.

Though He Xuebing was stubborn and proud, if the regiment commander gave the word and he wanted to keep progressing in the army, He Xuebing would not turn it down. frёewebηovel.cѳm
