Chapter 428: Chapter 325 Preparations (Five-in-One)

A moment later, the line reached Su Ming.

The officer responsible for checking in was dressed in a lieutenant’s uniform, a rather young man who, with his head down, was writing on a form and shouted,

"Next!"

"Here, this is my conscription letter!"

Su Ming took out the conscription letter and handed it to the man in front of him.

Lieutenant Li Yin took the conscription letter, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed; he immediately stood up and saluted Su Ming!

"Sir!"

"Mm, I’m here to report."

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

"Uh, sir, you’re not supposed to report here; I can’t process it."

"Where should I report then?"

"Walk that way, first room for reporting." freёweɓnovel.com

Lieutenant Li Yin quickly stretched out his hand to point Su Ming in the right direction.

"And what about them?"

Su Ming pointed towards Rhein and the others.

"They are all officers?"

Lieutenant Li Yin was also surprised, as there were at least dozens of them.

"Mm!"

Su Ming nodded.

Lieutenant Li Yin quickly stepped forward to verify Rhein and the others’ identities and information.

At this moment, the people standing in line beside them, seeing this, were also astonished and whispered lowly.

"My God, are they all officers?"

"Are you dumb, they are all from the Imperial Court Academy; of course, they’re officers!"

"Ah, I’m envious! I knew I should have studied hard and gotten into the Imperial Court Academy!"

"What are you daydreaming about? You know how hard it is to get into that school, even if you tried again, you wouldn’t get in."

"Seems like it!"

...

At this time, after Lieutenant Li Yin had verified the identities of Rhein and others, he quickly said to Su Ming,

"They are all lieutenants; they can report here!"

"Mm, Rhein, you guys report here, I’ll head over there."

Su Ming told Rhein and the others.

"Okay!"

Rhein immediately replied.

Su Ming then turned and walked towards the reporting office.

Lieutenant Li Yin, watching Su Ming’s departing figure, asked Rhein curiously,

"Brother, what’s your relationship with that officer?"

"He’s our class leader!"

"Damn, badass!"

"Of course!"

Rhein and the others laughed as they responded.

...

On the other side, following Lieutenant Li Yin’s instructions, Su Ming walked to a reporting office with the door slightly ajar.

He raised his hand and knocked.

Knock knock!

"Come in!"

A steady voice sounded.

Su Ming pushed open the door and walked straight in.

The reporting office was simply furnished, just some filing cabinets and a basic desk and chair.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in major’s uniform, with hair somewhat gray and rough skin, sat in front of the desk.

He looked up at Su Ming, a look of surprise on his face. The young man entering was too young; normally, he shouldn’t be here as this place was for high-level officers to report.

"Hello, I’m here to report!"

Su Ming said politely.

Major Zhang Rui, hearing Su Ming’s words, looked even more moved. The other party did not address him as sir, which meant he was at least of the same rank, if not higher, so he stood up and said,

"Hello, could you provide some identification, please?"

"Will this work?"

Su Ming handed over the conscription letter.

Zhang Rui took it and after a glance, took a deep breath, held out his hand, and said,

"Major Su Ming, welcome to report here. My name is Zhang Rui!"

"Hello!"

Su Ming shook hands with Major Zhang Rui.

"Just a moment, I’ll process your paperwork right away."

Major Zhang Rui immediately produced several documents for Su Ming to sign.

A few minutes later, all the paperwork was completed.

Major Zhang Rui took out a special device, scanned Su Ming’s body, and asked,

"What is this for?"

"Just measuring your body data to make your uniform. Since you just joined the military not long ago, there is no uniform for you at present; it needs to be made urgently. But don’t worry, it will be ready in a few days!"

"No problem."

"By the way, here is your officer identity card, and this is the latest model of military wristband, make sure to link it to your identity information. If there’s an emergency task or notification, it will be communicated through this wristband."

Zhang Rui handed Su Ming a wristband and identity card.

"Thank you, what should I do next?"

Su Ming then asked.

"I can’t assign you any specific tasks; report to meeting room 1 at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning; there will be officers to arrange and allocate assignments then."

"Okay!"

"Also, you’re temporarily staying in room number 16 in Area C, here’s the key."

Zhang Rui then handed another key to Su Ming.

"Thank you, I’ll take my leave now."

Su Ming took the key and turned to leave the reporting office.

Zhang Rui watched Su Ming’s leaving figure and murmured in a low voice,

"Youth is formidable, he’s on the same level as me, and so young."

...

On the other side, after leaving the reporting office, Su Ming walked towards the hall to check on how Rhein and the others were doing with their reporting.

Suddenly, a hand extended from behind and tapped Su Ming on the shoulder, followed by a familiar voice.

"Su Ming!"

Su Ming stopped in slight surprise and turned to look.

It was Gu Meng dressed in a sergeant’s uniform, standing in front of him, her face full of joy.

Qi Shen and Liu Xiao, as usual, followed behind her, both dressed in Junior Corporal’s uniforms.

"Gu Meng."

Su Ming greeted her in a calm tone.

"Isn’t it a surprise, it’s really coincidental to run into you here!"

Gu Meng said happily.

"It is indeed quite surprising."

Su Ming nodded slightly.

"You promised me last time that if we met again, you would give me your phone number. Is it time to fulfill that promise now?"
