The special patrol task force was established from scratch, and there were countless tasks of all kinds. Even though many routine matters were handed over by Ling Chengyan to the excellent instructor Zhang Yuanhong, she herself was still overwheld with work every day.
Zhang Yuanhong ca over, smiling as he reported good news to Ling Chengyan: "Our guard has arrived, and I tell you, I managed to secure a female guard for you with great difficulty."
Female soldiers are already few, and those who can beco guards must have a background that can withstand layer upon layer of scrutiny. They need to be loyal and possess outstanding combat skills... With such strict conditions, it’s not easy for even male soldiers to beco guards, let alone the already scarce female soldiers, which are truly rare.
A female guard, huh?
Ling Chengyan took an interest.
Back in the days of the Ling Family in Great Qi, they trained a batch of guards for every legitimate child. At ho, they served as close guards, doubling as handmaids for convenience; in case of war, going out to battle, they would change clothes and serve as personal soldiers. In the military camp, they also took on the roles of guards and managed the daily life.
Before she died in battle, those personal soldiers had already died before her. Now, by a stroke of luck, she was reborn in another world. She wondered if those close guards who grew up with her like sisters had already been reincarnated and started a new life?
Three young soldiers were sitting in the eting room, sitting upright with their luggage, hands on their knees, eyes straight ahead.
Ling Chengyan glanced through the window glass and was quite satisfied with what she saw.
Stepping in, the three people who were sitting upright stood up in unison and greeted her.
Ling Chengyan’s gaze swept over the two male soldiers and landed on the last female soldier who was tall with long legs, had a male-style crew cut, and only her facial features were slightly softer. She arched her eyebrows and smiled: "Are you Fu Qiang?"
"Reporting, na Fu Qiang, age twenty, seven years of service."
Ling Chengyan slightly raised her eyebrows: "Seven years, turns out you’re a veteran."
Zhang Yuanhong had already seen the detailed profiles of the three and leaned in to whisper, "She joined the military at twelve, initially as an artistic soldier."
"Artistic soldier? What were you good at?" asked Ling Chengyan.
"Reporting, I learned dance for less than a year, but my teacher thought I was growing too fast and didn’t want ," Fu Qiang replied.
Ling Chengyan laughed: "So straightforward."
According to the regulations, Ling Chengyan had two guard slots; she only chose Fu Qiang and gave the other one to Tian Kai: "Since your wife isn’t here, let Xiao ng follow you."
Tian Kai tried to refuse, but Zhang Yuanhong pulled him: "Just take it when given to you; does the captain have to order you?"
Tian Kai quickly explained: "No, that’s not what I ant..."
Ling Chengyan waved her hand nonchalantly and took Fu Qiang back to the dormitory first.
For the sake of work convenience, there was a single dormitory next to Ling Chengyan’s suite where Fu Qiang stayed in one room, and Zhang Yuanhong’s guards Li Wei and ng Changshun shared another room.
Thus, the special training team had the only two female comrades.
In Great Qi, Ling Chengyan was not afraid of hardship, even if it ant sweating and bleeding, but she really hadn’t done many daily chores, given that there were handmaids at ho, and personal soldiers in the military camp... Now, Ling Chengyan had beco a married woman from the countryside with two kids. Even though Wang Liansheng took care of almost all the housework after he returned, Ling Chengyan still did quite a bit of work inside and outside.
So, Fu Qiang quickly found out that this female captain, despite her aloof and cold deanor, had a pretty decent personality. She cleaned her own dormitory, washed her own clothes, and didn’t require her help.
On the first day of waking up with the bugle, she went to the captain’s room, only to find the captain had already dressed up, ready to go out for exercise.
The second day, Fu Qiang got up at four o’clock, brought hot water for Ling Chengyan, but still ca a bit early, for Ling Chengyan hadn’t woken up yet...
Ling Chengyan dressed up to go out, saw Fu Qiang obviously waiting for a while at the door, and laughed: "You don’t need to get up so early; I don’t need water for washing in the morning. There’s a hot water heater installed in my room, so there’s hot water."
Fu Qiang was a bit dumbfounded, nodded in a daze.
A week later, Fu Qiang beca familiar with Ling Chengyan’s schedule and habits. As it turned out, her daily routine was very regular; without a mission, she always rested on ti, got up at 4:40 a.m., did a simple wash and brush-up, and went out for exercise...
As for als, she ate with the soldiers without any particular special treatnt.
Once settled in, Wang Liansheng’s transfer also ca up on the agenda. Due to his excellent work ability, Huicheng’s investnt promotion was well-regarded at the provincial level, leaving a good impression of Wang Liansheng’s na with the provincial leaders. When the military district people ca to negotiate, several leaders unlocked the green light upon hearing Wang Liansheng’s na.
As a result, the municipal organs at the provincial city also heard the news, rushed to the province to voice their concerns, lanting how their work was not as good as lower districts and that they urgently needed a good colleague like Wang Liansheng.
However, the person in charge of investnt at the provincial level was not willing to let go, arguing that while the municipal tasks were needed, wasn’t there a provincial need as well? Wang Liansheng’s work ability was completely suitable for the provincial level for overseeing tasks!
The resulting situation was a bit of a stalemate, delaying Wang Liansheng’s job transfer. Consequently, the first honor of reaching the province was taken by soone else.
After confirming her transfer to the province, Ling Chengyan told Liu San and Gouzi to arrange their district business and move to the provincial city as soon as possible. After nearly a year of preparation, they finally sorted out their district operations, evaluated the provincial market and plans, and concurrently, as Ling Chengyan was forming the special training squad, Liu San and others bought a district clothing factory in the provincial city that had ceased production, remodeled it, and prepared to set up a company integrating production and trade.
There were even people who arrived earlier in the provincial city than Liu San and others, and it turned out to be the Ling Family’s eldest and second brother, to Ling Chengyan’s surprise.
That day, Ling Chengyan had just co down from the training field when Fu Qiang approached, took her combat uniform, poured water for her to wash up while reporting: "Two fellow villagers ca to see the captain, they’ve been waiting at the gate for over an hour."
Ling Chengyan wiped her face, accepted the lukewarm water Fu Qiang handed over, drank it, wiped her mouth, and walked out: "You go to the cafeteria to eat by yourself."
Since they were old acquaintances who ca from afar, she would definitely entertain them, which probably ant not returning to the cafeteria for a al.
As she walked out, Ling Chengyan also felt her pocket for her wallet.
Her wallet didn’t contain much money, just a few dozen bucks, which was enough for a al.
When Ling Chengyan arrived at the gate, before she could see anyone, an excited voice reached her ears: "Sis!"
