Chapter 344 The Straight Man
Captain Wang felt very upset and felt sorry for himself.
“It’s great to have a good family background!”
"Ling Yi is about the same age as me, even a little younger than Liu Quan and me. He's already a lieutenant colonel at such a young age. In a few years, he'll be promoted directly..."
"That's not right? ... Could it be that Commander Ling is deliberately using this incident as a springboard to promote Ling Yi to colonel?"
"No wonder Zhang Ming is so enthusiastic...it's great to have a good family background."
Ling Yi looked at Zhang Ming, who was enthusiastic but whom he did not know, and immediately withdrew his hand.
The tone was cold, as if it was that of an emotionless robot:
"Are you questioning your superiors' orders?"
"Obeying orders is the first rule of a soldier!"
Ling Yi's serious expression made Zhang Ming, who was being treated coldly, very embarrassed.
He looked back at the bustling crowd and swallowed his saliva speechlessly.
Smiled awkwardly:
"Haha, Lieutenant Colonel Ling misunderstood, haha, haha."
Seeing Zhang Ming being defeated, Captain Wang felt inexplicably relieved.
The originally solemn expression on his face also relaxed.
Han Jianglan and others also smiled playfully.
Han Jianglan didn't want Zhang Ming to waste his time, so he stood up and said to Ling Yi:
"The commander asked Lieutenant Colonel Ling to lead the Iron Wolf Battalion to help?"
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to directly send out troops? What did the people say?"
Ling Yi turned to Han Jianglan and said:
"The armed police are busy blocking the road, so I'm the only one who has nothing to do."
"The three streets on the left and right, plus the central street, were all clear. There was no one there, so I couldn't take any photos."
"It has been announced to the public that there are no problems with troop exercises and leadership inspections."
Ling Yi has his own way of speaking. He can express something clearly with one word and never uses two words.
Han Jianglan felt like laughing when he heard this concise way of speaking.
But when I thought about it again, it seemed that I had explained it clearly and I understood it.
He shook his head helplessly and said with a smile:
"Really? Then I'd like to thank the Commander and Lieutenant Colonel for their strong support."
Ling Yi heard this and said without hesitation:
"We are the commander's soldiers. The commander is your father-in-law. It is only natural that we cooperate with you."
Han Jianglan could never have imagined that Ling Yi would bring up such nepotism so easily.
And it happened in front of so many people.
He looked at the person next to him with some surprise and embarrassment.
The people around him also cursed in their hearts.
"Is this big guy sick?"
"Such words are said so bluntly. Should we pretend we heard them or not?"
"A big speechless incident happened..."
In order to ease the awkwardness, everyone pretended to be busy.
Han Jianglan snorted helplessly and wanted to pat Ling Yi on the shoulder to end this useless conversation.
However, as soon as I reached out my hand, I found that I couldn't touch it...
Embarrassment swept over us again.
Ling Yi was also perceptive. He saw Han Jianglan was about to withdraw his hand silently.
Ling Yi spoke again:
"You're not tall enough."
Everyone: “……………………………………………………”
Han Jianglan may have never suffered such a great humiliation in his life.
He was already trying his best to keep a smile on his face.
Just when he didn't know how to resolve this embarrassment without leaving any trace,
Huang Zhanxiao laughed out loud:
"Hahahahaha you brat! No wonder Commander Ling didn't let you out."
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha~”
Although Huang Zhanxiao's laughter was harsh,
But it was also very clever, as it found an opportunity for Han Jianglan to change the subject.
Han Jianglan quickly withdrew his hand, turned around and walked to the seat, pointed to the empty seat, and said:
"Come on, everyone, stop standing around and sit down to talk about our business."
