Chapter 784 - Chapter 784 Chapter 783 Thousands and Tens of Thousands_1

Chapter 784: Chapter 783: Thousands and Tens of Thousands_1 Chapter 784: Chapter 783: Thousands and Tens of Thousands_1 “And they call themselves refined? They look down on us mere mortals.”

The one with a quick temper immediately retorted, “Refined my a**! Without the soldiers we have trained to defend the country, what right do they have to act refined?”

“Alright, alright! Let’s not get carried away!”

“Yeah! What era is this? It’s the nineties, we’re about to enter the millennium.”

In the big office, a group of teachers and professors were gathered discussing. It was still early, and everyone present were old colleagues who had worked together for many years. They spoke unreservedly. At that moment, Party Secretary Lei Shanyuan, with hands on his back, walked in, his face clouded and stern.

Lei Shanyuan’s capabilities were nothing to scoff at, and he had a well-established reputation at the school, having nurtured countless outstanding talents. Moreover, his position was not inferior to that of the principal, and he held a bona fide military rank. His uniform highlighted his trim figure.

“Hello, Secretary Lei.”

“Secretary Lei, why does it look like someone owes you thousands?”

Lei Shanyuan grunted coldly and said unhappily, “That bastard Huo Beijiang promised to attend the ceremony this year, but he’s gone and sent a substitute at the last minute.” He was the very best student he had ever taught; great in all respects, except for the carefree temperament.

He stirred up all kinds of trouble while in school.

Now, when he needs him, he had the audacity to stand him up!

“Really?”

“That’s… too childish. He promised!”

“Humph! Isn’t that typical of him?”

“I knew something was off when he agreed to attend the ceremony so easily. Sure enough, he’s causing trouble in the end.”

“Enough! Beijiang has risen to a higher military rank than us. He’s no longer the green lad he used to be.”

“I still have a right to criticise him!”

“He pledged his attendance. Other obligations, no matter how big, should not lead to a last-minute cancellation.”

At first, Lei Yuanshan wanted to grab Huo Beijiang and give him a good beating, but seeing everyone else criticising him, he was instantly displeased. He might be his student, and he might criticize him. But absolutely no one else could.

“Enough! Enough!” Lei Yuanshan reprimanded, “You all know his current position is not what it used to be. He’s involved in so many army affairs. It’s quite normal if he can’t attend.”

A silence fell in the office; everyone felt a bit awkward.

“So, who’s stepping in for him?”

“Yu Xiaoxiao!”

Upon hearing it was Yu Xiaoxiao, everyone found satisfaction in their smiles. Back in military school, these two were the figures of the moment. Their pictures are still featured on the school’s honor board! Moreover, Yu Xiaoxiao, still young, is already a regiment commander.

As a representative of young officers and graduates attending the ceremony, it was good enough.

Just when they were talking about this, several more teachers came into the office from outside, urging them to go and organise on-site activities and greet the arriving military leaders.

“Oh, by the way! Jiang Nanfei is here!” someone laughed, obviously just coming from the registration for new students, “The one with the highest and lowest academic score arrived together. The only ones missing amongst the new students were these two.”

“They’re here?” someone excitedly exclaimed, “Great!”

******

At this moment, Nan Fei was frantically changing clothes in her dormitory. She knew they were running late, but she never imagined the confusion would be this great. From the moment she found the registration point for new students, it was as chaotic as a battlefield.

The person in charge gave them both a good dressing-down, saying that they were the first two ever to report so late. Their performance certainly lived up to their respective rankings.

Nan Fei didn’t quite understand what that meant.
