“What are you doing? Are you vying with me for talent?” Lin Yuankang was enraged when he heard the political commissar’s words. He had intended for his little disciple to follow in his footsteps and work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He had already sourced out a good position for her. The political commissar wanted to vie with him for talent? No way!

“She is my disciple. She will definitely not join the army in the future. Don’t think about it.” Lin Yuankang pulled Qiao Nan behind him. “You should know that she is frail and feeble. It is sheer torture for her to join the army.”

“Elder Lin, you can’t say this. Just because Comrade Xiao Qiao’s physical ability is not as good, all the more she should join the army to train and build up her stamina.” The political commissar was not convinced. After listening to what Elder Lin said, he felt that it was the best decision for Comrade Xiao Qiao to join the army.

“Train to be like him?” Lin Yuankang pointed disdainfully at Zhai Sheng.

The political commissar sized up Zhai Sheng, who was more than 1.85 meters tall. He looked at his athletic build and his large frame, growing silent. He paused for a while before saying, “I didn’t say that all soldiers will be trained to be like him. We have female soldiers in the army as well. Will that do? They will undergo moderate training.”

The political commissar did not know that there was another kind of person in the world who was called the ‘Muscle Babe’. But when Lin Yuankang used Zhai Sheng as a comparison, he could never imagine Qiao Nan having his build. That image was way beyond one’s imagination.

“Alright, say no more. I won’t agree to it.” Lin Yuankang snorted.

The political commissar seemed to be at loggerheads with Lin Yuankang. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. We have to respect Comrade Xiao Qiao’s own wishes, don’t we? The 21st century is coming. We can’t make decisions for the juniors based on the old feudal ideas. Comrade Xiao Qiao, what are your views?”

Lin Yuankang made no concession. “Nan Nan, tell me, will you listen to me or him?”

Qiao Nan, who was sandwiched between the two of them, was speechless. “I am about to advance to the second year of high school. I prefer to study.”

Being a soldier was her dream in the previous life. In this life, she only wanted to finish her studies first.

“Did you hear that? She wants to study first.” Lin Yuankang was happy. His little disciple had maintained his dignity. As long as his disciple continued with her studies, sooner or later, she would follow in his footsteps.

“No, Comrade Xiao Qiao, do you want to reconsider? I remember that you told me that your father was also a soldier.” Comrade Xiao Qiao should have more affection for the army.

Lin Yuankang reb.u.t.ted. “If it wasn’t for the fact that her father had been a soldier, do you think that she would be here, at this barren land? Alright, it’s getting late. Stop disturbing my disciple from her rest. She still has to give lessons tomorrow. Look at the people in your army. There are so many of them who focus on external beauty. I feel ashamed for you.”

At the mention of the situation just now, Lin Yuankang boiled in anger.

He never expected that people in the army would be focused on looks and neglected real abilities. It was such a shame!

Lin Yuankang might be rude to the political commissar, but in fact, he had been very polite. He had a lot of complaints that he kept to himself.
