The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 356 - 355:

The older brother and sister-in-law exchanged glances, finally realizing they’d been neglecting their sensible, obedient eldest daughter, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Ling Chengyan chuckled and said, "Big brother, just pick up and drop off Hongling a few times to make an impression. If any trouble arises again, tell Hongling not to hold back—if she breaks some bones, I’ll handle it for her."

Back in the provincial capital that night, Ling Chengyan told Wang Liansheng about Hongling’s situation.

Wang Liansheng reached out to hug his wife, saying softly, "Thank goodness you took care of her so attentively."

Ling Chengyan patted him, pretending to be annoyed, "She’s my niece too, you know!"

Wang Liansheng leaned his head against his wife’s shoulder and chuckled, prompting Ling Chengyan to give him two playful slaps on the back, and soon she was laughing too.

With Hongling’s matter handed over to Wang Liansheng, Ling Chengyan felt reassured.

Once the summer vacation ended and the kids went back to school, Ling Chengyan and Wang Liansheng both got busy with their respective jobs.

After a six-month temporary assignment, Wang Liansheng formally processed the transfer procedures and officially joined the municipal office as desired. By early September, his position was naturally promoted one level, becoming a full-time department director, overseeing foreign investment, as well as investments from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He was responsible for import and export affairs.

After achieving excellent results in joint exercises with the Beijing Special Training Team, Ling Chengyan caught the eye of a higher-up. Because of National Day security, she was tasked with leading a thirty-man team from the Eastern Province Special Training Team to Beijing to assist with operations.

When Ling Chengyan received the assignment, she was a bit stunned, but Zhang Yuanhong had a "I knew it" look on his face.

He looked at the spirited woman in front of him, feeling a mix of emotions. The woman he once disdainfully regarded as a mere rural housewife was now catching the eyes of high-level leaders. Once she goes to Beijing, it’s highly likely they’ll want to keep her there, right?

In a few years, how far will she go? He thought his imagination might not be enough.

"Congratulations," Zhang Yuanhong said with a smile, bowing slightly and reaching out.

Ling Chengyan gave him a playful glare, waved her hand dismissively, and laughed, "Our autumn training is all set, and we still have to do new recruit selections... Sigh!"

Zhang Yuanhong withdrew his hand and laughed helplessly, "As your instructor, I’m not entirely powerless."

Ling Chengyan caught the complaint in his tone but couldn’t help laughing, "Alright, I’m not looking down on you, it’s just different roles. Besides, I do okay on the battlefield, but running a household is really not my thing."

She gave him a sidelong smile and added, "As for you, you’re both skilled in the arts and martial domains, adept inside and out—I’m truly in awe."

Zhang Yuanhong heard a hint of teasing in her voice, but mostly he sensed affirmation.

The Ling Chengyan he knew was straightforward and never flattered. For her to say such things, even lightly teasing, she must truly think so, or else she wouldn’t joke without boundaries.

Zhang Yuanhong paused for a moment and said softly, "Is this a compliment?"

Ling Chengyan laughed heartily, "Of course, once again, I have to leave the household in the hands of the instructor, so I can only thank you for your hard work!"

Zhang Yuanhong snorted, lifting his chin slightly to conceal the complex emotions within, "Don’t think you can dismiss me with a single sentence." With that, he got up and left.

Ling Chengyan raised an eyebrow, nodded with a smile, and said nothing more.

The assignment came with little preparation time.

Ling Chengyan just had time to go home and announce her departure, packed a simple luggage bag, and by past four the next morning, she was gathered and waiting for the vehicle heading north to Beijing.

This time, being closer to Beijing, they were allowed to drive there.

Ling Chengyan left the Special Training Unit’s only off-road Jeep to Zhang Yuanhong, while she rode into Beijing in a military truck.

In September, North China officially entered autumn. Although the roadside trees were still lush, the temperature had noticeably cooled down, losing the summer’s oppressive heat.

In the endless fields, cornstalks had sprouted tassels, row upon row, like soldiers standing at attention with rifles.

Sorghum was also in ear, forming a patch of purplish-red heads, glowing with the festive joy of a bountiful harvest.

Liu Xianghu grinned from the driver’s seat, "This year’s another bumper crop."

Ling Chengyan laughed in agreement, "A good harvest is great. Only when the common people are well-fed can there be national peace and stability."

Chatting and laughing all the way, they stopped for breakfast as they were about to leave the province and continued their journey. Near noon, they met with comrades at the entrance to Beijing.

A large off-road vehicle was parked by the roadside; as the Eastern Province vehicle came to a stop, the off-road vehicle’s door opened, and He Jinghua jumped out energetically, smiling broadly as she approached.

"Comrade Ling Chengyan, welcome, welcome!" He Jinghua extended both hands, shook hands with Ling Chengyan, then smiled and waved at the truck, saying, "Comrades, you’ve had a hard journey, no need to get off—let’s talk back at the base."

With that, she took Ling Chengyan into the off-road vehicle and skillfully turned around to lead the way ahead of the truck.

The road conditions were decent, but He Jinghua’s speed was truly startling. As soon as Ling Chengyan sat stably, the engine roared, and they shot off. Ling Chengyan clearly saw the revolutions nearly hit four thousand, and in just a few breaths, the vehicle’s speed soared over a hundred miles per hour.

Ling Chengyan quietly gripped the handle on the car door, keeping her face unchanged.

Despite driving at breakneck speed, He Jinghua still had the energy to talk, "We invited you here primarily to help us co-defend some key targets..."

After speeding all the way, they arrived at the base.

He Jinghua stopped the car, glanced at the rearview mirror, grinned widely, then got out.

The following truck just came to a stop, and Liu Xianghu, serving as the driver, was the first to jump out, holding the door to steady himself from the dizziness and nausea—despite nearly a decade of driving, this was his first time getting car-sick.

He Jinghua, with her long strides, quickly walked over, raised a hand, and gave Liu Xianghu a firm slap on the shoulder, grinning with a mouth full of white teeth, "Good lad, you drive pretty well."

When her hand patted down, Liu Xianghu instinctively straightened his spine, endured several hearty thumps, and tried to laugh, though his grin wasn’t far from tears.

If the driver was like that, those in the back of the truck were even more jostled around like beanbags, tossed and twirled, until they eventually leaned against the sideboard, bracing with their feet to prevent being jerked around too much.

When Ling Chengyan got out of the car, she saw He Jinghua greeting her boys one by one. Her smile didn’t change, though her eyes squinted a little.

At the base, they were immediately taken to the dormitories to settle in.

Ling Chengyan was assigned a single dorm, complete with a private bathroom and shower facilities. The conditions were quite decent.

However, before everyone could rest, the lunch bell rang, and He Jinghua personally came to invite them: "Come, let’s have lunch first, and we can talk the rest over the meal."
