"Thank you, Sir. I will let him know immediately."
In the end, the top brass of the army agreed to give Ye Fan this privilege after Lu Tian-He fought for it.
After coming to an agreement, Ye Fan boarded the car and headed for the army barracks.
Owing to time constraints and the amount of work that had to be done, the moment they found a suitable instructor candidate, they wasted no time.
The Jiangdong military region was located on some barren land to the north of Fenghai and was about three hours away by car.
The doors opened, and a military green off-road vehicle brought Ye Fan into the military zone.
"Mr Chu, please wait in the guesthouse first. I will let the commander know you are here. I'm sure he will see you soon. In the meantime, you can take a look around the military zone and familiarize yourself," said Lu Tian-He as he smiled and led Ye Fan to the guesthouse.
Ye Fan nodded. "There's no hurry. Go ahead."
"Great. Mr Chu, then we will leave you on your own. No, correction, we will probably have to call you General Chu later!" Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong chuckled before they left.
Ye Fan left the guesthouse and took a walk around the area after resting briefly.
Since this was a recreational area, the atmosphere felt more relaxed.
There was no sign of any intense training here. Soldiers walked by as they chatted happily.
Some of them had washbasins in their hands and had just come back from a shower.
Some of them were drying their clothes while others were running out with a
basketball.
"Zi-Yang, Ming-Bo, come on. Let's go shoot some hoops.”
Two tall, handsome men dressed in military uniform came out.
Everyone greeted them instantly and asked them to join them for basketball.
Li Zi-Yang shook his head instead.
"Fei, go on and have fun. We will pass. We haven't finished our training for today yet."
"Zi-Yang, do you have to go all out like this? You do so much more extra work during your free time. You are going to overwork yourself."
"Haha! That's enough. Stop holding them back if they want to do well. Zi-Yang and Ming-Bo were promoted to platoon leader after six months. Also, Zi-Yang and Ming-Bo were shortlisted for special troops. Since they have such a bright future, they naturally want to work hard, right?"
Li Zi-Yang and Ma Ming-Bo disregarded their comments and had already run off.
Based on their plan, they were to run with weights for three kilometers.
"Zi-Yang, why don't we take a break this afternoon? If we keep doing such intense training, we might end up collapsing," said Ma Ming-Bo sadly as he looked at Li Zi-Yang and looked somewhat tired.
"No, Ming-Bo. Have you forgotten why we decided to join the army? Before you give up, think about what we want. Think about the humiliation we suffered at the Feast of the Sea and Sky. If you want to surpass him, this is the only way to do it. Even if he is the King of Jiangdong in the corporate world, he will be nothing to us when we become generals, he would have to greet us respectfully when he sees us again!"
Li Zi-Yang clenched his fists tightly.
He could never forget the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Ye Fan at the Feast of the Sea and Sky.
Li Zi-Yang was too afraid to retaliate and had apologized to him like a dog when his father forced him.
But he was a proud man. All these years, his peers looked up to him.
Li Zi-Yang could never allow a man around his age to trample him beneath his feet like that.
