The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 339 - 338
Ling Chengyan smirked, pulled back her hand, and started walking away.
After taking two steps, she turned her head and said, "You’re not going?"
"Go, go where?" Su Li was puzzled.
"Your soldiers were sent to the medical office, aren’t you going to check on them?"
Su Li: "..." So this person knew all along and had been subtly threatening him, outrageous!
When Ling Chengyan arrived at the medical office, apart from the few guys brought over by her own boys, there was an additional female soldier. She wasn’t very tall, but she had a well-proportioned figure and an impressive presence. Ling Chengyan felt a sense of familiarity, much like the female bodyguards she had back in Great Qi.
Using the personnel list from the reporting office, Ling Chengyan confirmed the woman’s identity: one of the three female soldiers, Zheng Zhuoya from Rongcheng, who was primarily a civilian officer.
"Captain Su." Zheng Zhuoya saw the two people who came in, her gaze resting on Ling Chengyan for a moment before shifting to Su Li behind her. "What’s going on here?"
Su Li glanced at the back of Ling Chengyan’s head, awkwardly rubbed his nose, and said, "These guys bumped into something by accident."
Zheng Zhuoya stared at Su Li for a few seconds before looking away, not saying anything further.
Su Li glanced again at Ling Chengyan, who stood motionless and silent after entering, and went over to discuss with the military doctor at the medical office, confirming that the few reckless guys weren’t seriously injured and wouldn’t be affected in the upcoming competition, which put his mind at ease.
Seeing that he had finished his discussion with the doctor, Ling Chengyan perceptively called out, "I’ll wait for you outside."
Then, Ling Chengyan led her boys out of the medical office, considerately shutting the door behind them.
Inside the medical office, not knowing how Su Li communicated with his team members, Ling Chengyan checked her watch. Within three minutes, Su Li walked out of the medical office, smiling as he greeted, "Let’s go, time to eat."
Ling Chengyan smiled at him, her eyes sweeping over her group of boys.
Su Li’s smile stiffened slightly, but he had to gather his spirits and invite, "Let’s go together, the more the merrier."
After saying this, he really didn’t want to look at those ten or so burly men, smiled, stepped aside, and introduced Zheng Zhuoya behind him to Ling Chengyan, "Captain Ling, let me introduce you to our Sharpshooter from Rongcheng District, Zheng Zhuoya. Little Zheng, this is the renowned Captain Ling..."
Ling Chengyan and Zheng Zhuoya shook hands. Zheng Zhuoya was polite on the surface, but her gaze while appraising Ling Chengyan was quite scrutinizing.
Being only twenty-four, a university graduate, and already so outstanding in military skills, she naturally had her own pride.
Ling Chengyan wasn’t bothered by the pride of young people; however, she wasn’t a social butterfly herself and wasn’t overly enthusiastic either.
Although Su Li said Ling Chengyan could choose the restaurant and order whatever she wanted, Ling Chengyan didn’t go outside; she ate at the small canteen within the military district.
For the promised extra dishes, she didn’t bother with modesty and ordered a large pot of braised chicken and lamb stew.
Ji Province borders Meng Province, and Jibei has a large pasture area; the lamb here is very good. The ten or so young lads had big appetites and directly ordered half a sheep, served in three dishes.
The boys weren’t picky eaters, and they ate the lamb with great satisfaction.
Ling Chengyan, Su Li, and Zheng Zhuoya sat at a small table, ordered a few stir-fries, and ate slowly.
Ling Chengyan didn’t talk much while eating, and Zheng Zhuoya wasn’t very talkative either. Su Li looked at the two quiet women and could only eat with his head down.
After finishing a bun, Ling Chengyan held a bowl of lamb soup and drank slowly. Only then did Su Li speak, "I heard you’re going back to set up the special training team. How’s that going?"
Ling Chengyan nodded, swallowed the soup in her mouth, and said lightly, "The boys are all working hard... as for what’s lacking, maybe just some real combat experience."
Su Li laughed and shook his head, "You’re setting the bar too high."
But Zheng Zhuoya listened earnestly, "Those outside, are they all your soldiers?"
Ling Chengyan looked at her and shook her head, "Not all of them, two are from a fellow unit."
Two?
Even though both Zheng Zhuoya and Su Li were mentally prepared, they couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise at this ratio.
The all-army competition selects elite soldiers from hundreds of thousands across various major regions. Generally, even if a unit has high qualities, securing two or three spots is impressive. Eastern Province’s special training unit, only half a year old, actually claimed 80% of the spots! That wasn’t just a matter of being ’formidable.’
Zheng Zhuoya suddenly thought of the description of the special training team: anyone who can get into the special training team is a king of soldiers individually.
So, the smiling female captain in front of her, wouldn’t she be the king among soldier kings?
After the boys finished eating, Ling Chengyan let them go back to rest first.
The three of them chatted for a while, then left the canteen a bit later.
After exiting the canteen, the usually silent Zheng Zhuoya suddenly said, "Captain Ling, would you be up for a challenge?"
Ling Chengyan looked over, "What?"
Zheng Zhuoya was momentarily stunned and said, "Of course, in shooting."
Ling Chengyan laughed, "We’ll be going to the training ground this afternoon. If you have time, how about joining us?"
Pre-competition training is very important. She had to seize the time when everyone hadn’t arrived to let the team members get familiar with the venue and equipment.
Zheng Zhuoya glanced at Su Li and saw him nod in agreement, and so she agreed, "Sure."
In the afternoon, at the training ground, the teams from Eastern Province and Rongcheng met again.
Perhaps it was true that ’no fight, no acquaintance’; although the atmosphere between the teams was still a bit awkward, no friction occurred. Moreover, when training, they spectated each other, leading outsiders to think these two teams had some connections or friendship.
And Ling Chengyan finally witnessed a proud girl change face. The cold and aloof female soldier she initially encountered transformed into a little fan girl after watching Ling Chengyan’s perfect scoring. Her gaze seemed to shine like stars.
Following closely behind Ling Chengyan, like a little tail, they later had dinner together and returned to the dormitory — seeing Ling Chengyan off to her dorm, still reluctant to leave.
The look was like a cat abandoned by its owner.
The next morning, when Ling Chengyan returned from morning training, preparing to fetch water for washing up, Zheng Zhuoya came again, bringing along a cute girl with an apple face and round eyes.
"This is Lao Wenhong. She’s a doctor at General Hospital," Zheng Zhuoya introduced.
Ling Chengyan smiled and shook hands with Lao Wenhong, saying to the two young girls, "You head to the canteen first, I’ll be there after washing up?"
Lao Wenhong, lively yet sensible, immediately agreed with a smile and led the somewhat reluctant Zheng Zhuoya away.
Once in the canteen, the two girls occupied a table. Upon seeing Ling Chengyan’s approach, they both stood up to greet her. Ling Chengyan nodded to her boys and walked over.
Though Zheng Zhuoya had laid down her pride in front of Ling Chengyan, she remained quiet. Conversely, Lao Wenhong was lively and cheerful, a little like a chattering sparrow.
During the meal, Ling Chengyan learned from Lao Wenhong about her and Zheng Zhuoya’s acquaintance and growing familiarity.
It turned out, Zheng Zhuoya was previously with a field unit and was injured with the same batch as Lao Wenhong. Zheng Zhuoya’s surgery was performed by Lao Wenhong... Subsequently, with more contacts between doctor and patient, the two gradually grew closer.
