Chapter 612
The soldiers were not noisy and rowdy like the students when they ate. Although there was no specified time for meals and the leaders would even tell them to eat slowly, the soldiers were used to doing things at a fast pace. It was just a meal but you could feel the seasoned atmosphere.
It wasn't noisy, but there were still soft sounds. When Ye Jian walked past the tables, she could hear their conversations, and they all had something to do with her.
"She doesn't look like a student. Look at her eyes, cold just like the brothers from the scouts."
"She walks like a soldier too, she's definitely not a student."
"Talk softer, don't let the officer hear you."
The officer probably heard everything. The instructors encountered a student that was better than them, and Cai Jiancheng, who had already served for three years, almost made mistakes when he was just beside her. That was not something an ordinary student was capable of.
Her hands were definitely stained with blood. Otherwise, there would not be such a strong foreboding aura around her, and she wouldn't be able to fluster a veteran that had served for three years.
Ye Jian's eyes didn't waver, and she treated the army like her home. Her calm and relaxed disposition gave the officer the confirmation that she must be a soldier that was trained in school. Someone like her was a real talent.
"Come here, Ye Jian. Let's have a meal together, and talk about two things." The political officer smiled and stood up, welcoming her to sit opposite him.
Ye Jian had met the officer and the regimental commander before… She even met the major general before. Ye Jian's confidence didn't falter and he placed her plate on the table, saluted and sat down after she said 'reporting'.
She sat down with a standard military posture - body straight, both hands placed naturally on her knees. She displayed the proper manners that a soldier should have.
Ye Jian had always remembered that she can't bring shame to the military unit of Fujun Town.
"Hahaha, relax, relax. It's break time. Let's relax and talk." The officer was even more satisfied with her readiness and attitude and sighed in his heart. 'Which military unit is she in? They made their move so early!'
Ye Jian responded crisply and relaxed. Suddenly, her gaze softened like an ordinary student.
"You're eating a bit too little. Do you want more food?" As the officer talked to her, he occasionally sized her up. Ye Jian was eating slowly, and could reply to him calmly.
After two minutes, they entered the main subject.
Top soldier? Flag guard? … She's a bit embarrassed about being the top soldier. But she had no problems with being the flag guard.
"Officer, I don't think I'm suitable for being the top soldier. I believe you have also seen it. I can't be the top soldier amongst the students. You'll have to choose another person. I can be the flag guard. That's not a problem."
The officer was used to hearing that and didn't treat Ye Jian like a student. "Are you afraid of other people's opinions? Ye Jian, believe me, there's not a student in the second year that has an objection."
"We will choose a boy from the third year, and a girl from the second year. How about this, there's a speech to be made, do you want to do it?"
