The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 315 - 314: Praise and Reprimand

These people were persistent, and Ling Chengyan was quick to make a move. As soon as she heard them, just as she suspected, trying to lay blame, she immediately said, "You guys chat, I have some things to do, I’ll take my leave first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was already out of the meeting room.

After all, she was a woman, and although some of them reacted quickly and wanted to stop her, they hesitated due to her identity and ultimately took no action.

Otherwise, what? Were they supposed to grab and pull her back?!

Tian Kai reacted quickly. Almost as soon as Ling Chengyan left, he immediately stood up and followed her, while cheerfully saying to everyone, "You have a talk with the instructor, I won’t accompany you. My apologies, my apologies."

He moved quicker than he spoke, and before he finished his sentence, he slipped out, leaving Zhang Yuanhong and a few others trying to catch him, but they couldn’t.

"Hey, truly the deputy team leader, moves fast!" Someone marveled, and after expressing admiration, directly blocked Zhang Yuanhong’s way, preventing him from slipping away as well.

Stuck with two such heartless colleagues, what could Zhang Yuanhong do? He could only restrain his temper, put on a stiff smile, and deal with those thick-skinned, merciless fellows.

Early the next morning, Ling Chengyan learned from a sour-faced Zhang Yuanhong that the final negotiation result with those people was that they would send people over for ’advanced training’ in batches, with costs shared based on the length of time and content of training for each batch.

Tian Kai immediately smartly asked about the cost base, and Ling Chengyan heard a number that satisfied her greatly, her lips curling up as she nodded approvingly at Zhang Yuanhong: "When it comes to dealing with people, it has to be the instructor taking the lead!"

Tian Kai immediately followed up, nodding and laughing, "Indeed, we who are practical in combat, are broad-minded and inarticulate, really can’t handle these things. Haha..."

Zhang Yuanhong rolled his eyes at him in annoyance: Are you serious? You’re saying you guys are broad-minded and dumb, while I’m just dim-witted and loquacious?

He was very angry, fist clenched, but ultimately didn’t throw a punch.

He was careful, thought a lot, and of course knew he couldn’t afford to offend either of them, nor could he beat them, what else could he do? What else could he do?!

No matter what, the final selected list was announced, with only 84 people selected by the special training team, indeed almost one-third less than the expected 120 slots.

Those who were selected were overjoyed, while those who weren’t were naturally frustrated and dejected, but they also heard what Captain Ling and their unit leaders said, that they would have another chance to return here for training, during which they could still be selected again for the special training team.

So, these people gathered up their frustration and disappointment and reinvigorated themselves. Not getting selected this time was no reason to feel discouraged; they would train well once back, and next time, they wouldn’t miss the opportunity again.

Ling Chengyan, together with Zhang Yuanhong and Tian Kai, personally sent these people off as they boarded the vehicle. She stood under the vehicle, waving goodbye, and said just one thing: "I’ll be waiting for you to come back."

"Captain Ling, wait for me, I’ll definitely be back," a somewhat youthful soldier suddenly leaned over the vehicle rail and loudly promised Ling Chengyan.

Ling Chengyan smiled at him and waved.

Behind the young soldier, the team leader from their unit felt like he was going to have a heart attack: This brat is so eager to become one of their people? They say a grown woman can’t be kept at home, but are you a big maiden or what?!

Zhang Yuanhong was unaware of the inner grievances of this leader; if he knew, he’d probably retort directly: Have you never seen someone marrying into the family? Truly ignorance.

Parting is always saddening, with many shedding tears as they left, and those remaining also lost their smiles, watching their comrades who were gradually moving further away, even themselves unwittingly tearing up.

Ling Chengyan didn’t give them much time for sorrow. Immediately after the farewell, everyone was taken directly to the training ground, and then went to the large meeting room, where selections for small team leaders, company-level positions were conducted through performance in physical, technical-tactical competitions and written exams.

To complete high-quality training and combat tasks, and to lead soldiers well, merely having high combat capability isn’t enough. One also needs a good mind, a certain amount of knowledge, and a combination of civil and military skills, both essential.

Nearly two months were spent completing the personnel selection, and the special training team was finally set up, coinciding with the completion of the hasty remodeling of the barracks and training grounds provided by the district. Ling Chengyan had Tian Kai lead the newly selected small team leaders for training while she and Zhang Yuanhong went to the new barracks.

Unlike Huicheng’s newly constructed barracks, this time it was reconstructed on the site of an old factory. The tall, spacious old factory building was transformed into an indoor training ground, complete with an indoor shooting training range and many new fitness training equipment and tools, with comprehensive, top-notch facilities.

The warehouse was converted into equipment storage and a garage. When Ling Chengyan saw Zhang Yuanhong opening the gate, she saw a row of various vehicles, all in military green, different models and purposes, from basic jeeps and trucks to the most advanced all-terrain vehicles... the setup was indeed high, exceeding Ling Chengyan’s expectations.

Next was moving into the barracks, and it only took half a day for everyone to settle in.

Ling Chengyan also got a new suite in the new camp area, possibly considering her as a female member, this time her dormitory was equipped with a private bathroom and a seven-eight-square-meter small reception room, although small, it had everything necessary, leaving Ling Chengyan very satisfied.

That evening, no training tasks were scheduled. Everyone had three hours of free time to buy daily necessities nearby.

Then, Ling Chengyan met with eleven people from Huicheng in her dormitory, led by Geng Wei, who had previously been bitten by a snake. This kid showed promise, perhaps fully recovering from the snakebite, performed outstandingly in the selection, and successfully became a small team leader, also reaching the battalion level.

Ling Chengyan invited them to sit, and took out some tea, which Wu Qingyun snatched up, carrying the thermos to make tea and pour water for everyone.

Zhang Wanxiang silently followed suit without speaking the whole time.

Wu Qingyun also performed well this time, becoming deputy of the second small team, deputy battalion-level; whereas Zhang Wanxiang was only made a squad leader, even within the special training team he could only be considered at the platoon level, overseeing just eight people.

When advancing, both had submitted letters of aspiration, but as Zhang Wanxiang was an only child, which didn’t align with Ling Chengyan’s regulations, he was directly excluded. Wu Qingyun, having a brother, was selected and tempered by warfare. Although Zhang Wanxiang never slackened his training, he still lacked something compared to Wu Qingyun.

It was something inevitable. He didn’t feel disheartened, just wanted to work even harder to surpass his buddy.

Geng Wei was very happy, wanted to invite Ling Chengyan out for a meal as a celebration, but was politely declined by Ling Chengyan.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, no rush for now." Ling Chengyan said with a gentle smile, but her next words were firm, "You are soldiers I brought up, but don’t think I will take special care of you. Here, there’s no distinction of mine or others’; I only recognize results and achievements. As long as you perform well and have high achievements, I won’t let you be overshadowed. But if anyone slacks off or fools around, let me warn you in advance, you’ll be disgraced or even penalized, so don’t blame me for lacking mercy."

The eleven stood up in unison, standing at attention to answer "yes."

Ling Chengyan just smiled and waved them off: "Alright, stop making a fuss, go do what you need to do."

After being reprimanded, the eleven bid farewell and stepped out. After taking a breath of relief, they all laughed together.

Captain Ling became a major team leader, and yet could still scold them, which only showed she truly considered them as her own. They hadn’t come hoping to take shortcuts, so they didn’t feel disappointed.
