The lightning rate with which she was improving caused the older soldiers to ramp up their efforts. If they were to be compared to a high schooler who didnât even know how to drive a car, then if they managed to get into Zhongnanhai, they wouldnât be satisfied with it.
However, some people were born to be worshipped. She made one mistake during her last life, and that caused the end of her life. Now Ye Jian was given a second chance to live again, like golden koi in a pond, which would morph into a dragon whenever it encounters a storm.
Ye Jian, whose back was drenched in sweat, raised her hand and wiped off the sweat that was about to drop into her eye. She received the record book a soldier had passed to her. After looking through all the details, there werenât many emotions that could be seen on her face, only that her lips were pursed slightly tightly, âThatâs not going to work, two minutes and forty-six seconds is a fail.â
âLittle lass, if my memory serves me, tonight must be your first time flying across the broken bridge. You still say youâre a failure with that kind of results?â Political Commissar Yan always knew that the little lass in front of him, whose eyes shined like stars after every practice session, was harsh on herself, but he had never imagined that she was strict to such level.
Political Commissar Yan, who was afraid that she would go too far, immediately consoled her, âThe actual time you have driven a car is only twelve days. Look here, youâve managed to pass the subject drills in twelve days, and passed it in one go. Little lass Jian, being harsh on yourself is a good thing, but you canât go overboard!â
âIf you set your goals too high, there might be a day when you wonât be able to achieve them. Sometimes, thatâs not a type of motivation; instead, it might demotivate you. Two minutes forty-six seconds, go and ask the instructor! If he says youâve passed, then youâve passed!â
Ye Jian watched the political commissar trying to persuade her so patiently as if he was afraid that sheâd become an extremist. She couldnât hold her laughter in, and it escaped out with a âpfftâ. Her eyes arched into crescents, âPolitical commissar, please relax; I understand that.â
âI know, I know, but I feel like you know nothing. Letâs take a break, and if you continue your training, even I would be afraid of you.â If the soldiers were too outstanding, then the superiors felt pressured, as if they were scared to death that accidents would happen during training.
Ye Jian realized that he was worried about her, so she did not refuse and obediently followed after him to the sides for a break.
The instructor in charge of her jogged towards them and started answering the political commissarâs questions one by one.
âThe speed of her improvement is rapid, and she also has good navigational awareness. She has an unyielding spirit that wasnât afraid of death, so she tends to grasp the training quickly.â The instructorâs comments on Ye Jian were based on the fact that she was âunafraid of deathâ. Without fear of life and death, one can quickly go through the gates of life and death.
Even the male soldiers didnât have her guts.
But Political Commissar Yan was afraid. Even small accidents definitely couldnât occur to such a bright prospect. He warned with seriousness, âPlease remember to prioritize safety above all else during training. She has a stubborn personality, but you mustnât be stubborn with her.â
After scolding the instructor, his strict gaze swept past the two people. He bellowed, âBoth of you, mark my words, we must show them our results, but donât you dare lose your life! If you lose your life, then what use do we have for your results!â
The instructor was scolded alongside Ye Jian. By the time the political commissar had left, the instructor, who came from Xiangjiang province, laughed, âYou little lass, when you get amped up, you also amp me up, and look what happened, both of us got scolded.â
âBut the commissar is right, we need to show the results, but no matter how good our results are, if we lose our lives, then itâll just be just a set of numbers.â
Ye Jian, who had implicated her instructor and caused him to get scolded alongside her, felt embarrassed, so she whispered, âHow about this, in the future, when the political commissar and Regimental Commander Liu are here, weâll ease up the training for a bit, then after they have left, weâll push ourselves harder? What do you think?â
âNo! Ye Jian, Iâm afraid of you, not even the Daredevil Shi Xiu would be as daring as you!â The instructor immediately declined her proposal.
Although he said that, Ye Jian was the type of person who could easily inspire the fighting spirit of soldiers in the battlefield, so when she was doing her best, how could the rest of the male soldiers dare to be left behind?
If she were putting in her best efforts, they would also put in their best efforts, and everyoneâs results would start showing a rising trend.
