Chapter 632: Chapter 630: Slightly Immature [2nd Update]

While Xue Qi was making a call, Zhang Meng whispered to Liang Lan, "Do me a favor, please invite the leaders from the propaganda department to come over."

"I’ll ask Young Master for instructions."

Liang Lan nodded; she probably grasped what Zhang Meng was planning. Although it was simple, it might just be surprisingly effective.

After all, this was the military; some rules were different from those in the outside world.

Leaving it to Zhang Meng was the best solution!

When Lu Xiaobu heard what Liang Lan said, he nodded, indicating his agreement. Then, after thinking for a moment, he took out his phone, wrote down a few lines and handed them to Liang Lan, "Take this with you, the leaders will agree to come and have a look."

What he handed over was a short excerpt from the "I Am a Special Soldier" script.

Certainly, it was from the very popular first installment of the series.

Without this thing, merely speaking empty words won’t make the leaders follow your command.

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, Zhang Meng immediately looked at Lu Xiaobu with gratitude.

...

After waiting for a while.

Under Xue Qi’s murderous glare, the official instructor soon arrived.

"He wants to see you."

Xue Qi said to the newly arrived Xue Bao.

That’s right, the person who came was also a member of the Xue Family—Xue Bao.

Older than Xue Qi, but from a collateral line.

So, there were no kind words between him and Xue Bao.

"Zhang Meng?"

Xue Bao knew Zhang Meng. As soon as he saw Zhang Meng’s face, his heart tensed up.

"It’s you, kid! I was wondering who was so incompetent!"

Zhang Meng sneered when he saw Xue Bao.

This guy was indeed a real instructor, but he used to be the instructor for a different team.

Looks like he’s been transferred!

"Watch your mouth! Who’s incompetent?!"

Xue Bao immediately got riled up upon hearing those words.

He had been ridiculed and pointed at behind his back quite a bit because of the incident with Xue Qi.

But what could he do?

"I’m saying you’re incompetent!"

Zhang Meng was not afraid of him: "Look, what kind of soldiers have you bloody brought me?! From the best soldiers in the whole military region, you’ve turned them into the worst! And you still dare to argue with me?! If it weren’t for the fact that it’s inconvenient for me to act, I would knock all your teeth out today!"

Zhang Meng truly spoke from his heart.

He was really angry!

If the instructor was someone utterly clueless, that would be one thing!

But the person who came had skill, was quite good in fact, yet he had ruined these fine soldiers!

You tell me if he should be angry!

Hearing Zhang Meng’s words, Xue Bao fell silent.

He had no words to rebut.

He was well aware that such mistakes were not just wrong, but terribly wrong!

But what could he do?

Listening to their conversation, Xue Qi snickered.

Preaching about principles?

If principles worked, he would have been kicked out long ago.

No worries, Zhang Meng, let’s play this slow.

And just then.

The leaders walked in.

"Mr. Lu, you are truly talented! You’ve been inspired in just such a short time?"

Colonel Yi Guoqing from the military propaganda department entered, expressing his joy.

He had read the script from earlier, and it was indeed excellent, beautiful!

"Yes, mainly because our soldiers are great! I am more than willing to publicize for those who protect our nation and homes!" Lu Xiaobu immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Good! Very good!" Yi Guoqing nodded in appreciation, "We really don’t see many young people like you anymore! Tell me, what support do you need? As long as it’s within the regulations, I’ll give my support!"

"Thank you very much! Actually, I do have a concern," Lu Xiaobu feigned a sigh as he spoke.

"What’s the matter?"

Yi Guoqing instantly furrowed his brows.

"It’s nothing much, I originally wanted to understand the true state of our military training, but once I arrived and saw for myself... sigh!"

Lu Xiaobu sighed deeply again: "I really don’t know, based on this situation as a creative prototype, what kind of script will eventually come out!"

He wasn’t just saying this; he was speaking the truth!

Yi Guoqing’s frown deepened even further.

Lu Xiaobu was reporting an issue to him!

Although he was from the publicity department and not the direct leader here.

But now, even an outsider was criticizing the quality of the army’s training, so perhaps he should get involved!

"Xue Bao, I remember you are an instructor, aren’t you? Speak up!"

Yi Guoqing turned to look at Xue Bao.

"Me! This..."

Xue Bao was in a bind, how could he respond?

"Actually, it’s not Xue Bao’s fault, it’s this assistant instructor here, who is seriously irresponsible!"

Zhang Meng promptly stood up and said.

This is exactly why he insisted on calling a formal instructor over?

To avoid Xue Qi from dumping all the responsibility onto the official instructors.

After all, if the instructor isn’t present, even if it’s someone else’s fault, the instructor still has no way to defend himself.

Hence, everyone must be present, and then direct the accusation squarely at Xue Qi!

"Oh?" Yi Guoqing’s gaze immediately shifted to Xue Qi.

When he saw Xue Qi’s hair full of gel, his eyebrows creased.

What sort of appearance is this for a respected soldier?!

At this moment, he actually started to believe what Lu Xiaobu said!

How could such a person train good soldiers?!

Xue Qi nearly ground his teeth to pieces when he saw Yi Guoqing’s gaze turn to him.

Damn it, why did Yi Guoqing come over?!

And Zhang Meng, are you freaking tired of living?!

But since Yi Guoqing had looked his way, he had to speak up: "Reporting, I don’t understand what this person is talking about!"

Yi Guoqing’s gaze turned back to Zhang Meng: "You’ve got to be responsible for what you’ve said! Explain it in detail!"

"It’s simple! This assistant instructor’s skills are even inferior to mine! How can someone like him lead good soldiers? Allowing an incompetent person to command the best troops is completely wasteful!" Zhang Meng stated bluntly.

There are no such roundabout ways in the military.

The simplest is always the best!

"Oh?" Yi Guoqing’s gaze then turned to Xue Bao: "Is that so?"

Upon hearing the question, Xue Bao ground his teeth, knowing that now he could only choose to back up Xue Qi.

If something happened to Xue Qi, he himself couldn’t evade involvement: "Reporting, Xue Qi is an assistant instructor we hired, mainly responsible for hand-to-hand combat. As for that, I do not agree with what Zhang Meng said."

"Is that so?" Yi Guoqing furrowed his brows.

He wasn’t familiar with the details.

However, he still trusted Xue Bao’s word.

No matter what, an assistant instructor hired by a unit couldn’t be worse than a wealthy scion’s bodyguard; that simply made no sense.

He then looked towards Lu Xiaobu: "Mr. Lu, do you think there might be some misunderstanding here?"

He was giving Lu Xiaobu a way out.

In his view, perhaps it was just some minor misunderstanding between them.

That’s what led to their clash.

As far as he was concerned, having offered a way out, Lu Xiaobu should take the hint and stand down!

But what happened was!

"Why not have them compete then?"

Lu Xiaobu’s lips curved into a slight smile.

Although Zhang Meng’s plan felt a bit naïve, it seemed to be quite effective.
