nChapter 64: Internal Affairs Evaluation

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nThe internal affairs evaluation during his campus days may have included a similar activity. Perhaps there were even warning signs. However, that activity served as mere entertainment for students. In the army, though, it had a genuine impact, both for individuals and veteran squad leaders. It was the first evaluation since the new recruits joined the army.

nAlthough the company didn’t plan to evaluate the role models of individual internal affairs this time, they still issued warning signs. It was a significant achievement for the veteran squad leaders. Within just two to three days, a squad of recruits could effectively manage their internal affairs. It proved their competence in leading troops. This was especially true for some veteran squad leaders who had never led a troop before. They were not officially squad leaders within the company, but if they performed well, they might be promoted to squad leaders at the end of the new recruits’ company.

nOne should not underestimate the role of a squad leader in the army. Despite not being an officer, the squad leader held undeniable authority. To put it frankly, the squad leader s words in a squad carried more weight than those of the company commander and platoon leader.

nBeing a squad leader ensured a relatively comfortable life in the military.

n“The blanket is folded properly!”

nWu Jianfeng and the other squad leaders, along with Class One and Class Two, entered Class Three’s dormitory together.

nFirst, Wu Jianfeng scanned the dormitory with his eyes while the other squad leaders wore white gloves to inspect.

nIt was appropriate to let the opposing class monitor perform the inspection for the evaluation.

nThe hygiene was soon found to be satisfactory, and the items were neatly arranged.

nAfter all, the Third Squad Leader must have been prepared for this inspection.

nBut the inspection didn’t end there.

nNext, the squad leaders meticulously checked the recruits’ bedding, lifting the blankets and inspecting the pillows and even under the bedsheets.

n“Hmm?”

nOne of the class monitors suddenly paused and turned to look at Wu Jianfeng.

nWu Jianfeng walked over.

nBy now, the face of the third-class monitor had turned dark.

nSoon, the blanket was opened, revealing the exposed cotton inside.

nThere was a small hole in the middle, and it was apparent that there was something hidden within.

n“Hehe, this recruit is quite clever!”

nWu Jianfeng looked at everyone and disregarded the ashen-faced third-class monitor. He didn’t show any signs of anger; instead, he smiled brightly. “These recruits didn’t receive their blankets in advance. Yet, in such a short time, they managed to poke a hole in the blanket and conceal it from the watchful eyes of you, the third squad leader. Impressive!”

nWu Jianfeng’s words further darkened the face of the third-class monitor, despite his smiling tone.

nThose words felt like a series of slaps on his face!

nWasn’t Wu Jianfeng implying that he was blind?

nInside the hole were more than a dozen cigarettes, matches, and a matchstick, all carefully concealed. There were also a few pieces of chewing gum. It was evident that this recruit had significant knowledge of the army before joining and was well-prepared.

n“Bastard!” The third squad leader gritted his teeth, staring at the hidden items.

nThis coward deceived me!

nIn his mind, he was already dismembering this recruit. He even contemplated finding a place nearby to bury the recruit alive.

n“Alright, let’s continue with the inspection.”

nWu Jianfeng didn’t dwell on it. After saying this, he raised his hand, signaling Kang Hua. Kang Hua immediately started deducting points from the third-class monitor, who wore an ugly expression.

nIt was clear that the deduction would be substantial.

n“Report, no anomalies found!”

nThey finished inspecting all the beds in Class Three, and nothing else was discovered.

nUpon leaving Class Three’s dormitory, they quickly arrived at Class Four.

nA few minutes later, when they emerged from Class Four, the class monitor’s expression was even more unpleasant than that of Class Three.

nThe reason was that Wu Jianfeng held a small flip phone in his hand.

n“Hmm?”

nWu Jianfeng was stunned upon opening the door to Class Five.

nNot to mention the hygiene, all the classes were similar in that regard, as were the items.

nAs they entered the room, all eyes were fixated on the recruits’ beddings.

nPreviously, no one had mentioned anything about the blankets. Although they deducted points for the blankets, the class monitors, including Wu Jianfeng, didn’t comment further.

nAfter all, it had only been two or three days since the recruits joined the army, and everyone was mentally prepared. They all had new blankets.

nThe competition now revolved around who had the fewest deductions and whether any recruits were hiding things.

nHowever, when they reached Class Five, all the blankets looked as if they were professionally folded.

nThe blanket folds resembled blocks of tofu, albeit slightly plump. The shape and visual appeal were far superior to those in other classes.

nThe other class monitors were momentarily stunned upon witnessing this sight. Then, their gazes shifted to Ye Sanshi, who wore a smug expression.

n“Squad Leader Ye, this is not fair. We agreed not to go overboard!”

nA class monitor couldn’t help but voice his concern after recovering from the shock.

nHe believed that Ye Sanshi must have done it himself.

nWhile they couldn’t guarantee that they could fold the new recruits’ quilts as perfectly, it didn’t mean Ye Sanshi couldn’t. After all, the quilts in Class Five’s dormitory were presented in such a state.

nIf it wasn’t Ye Sanshi, could it be a recruit?

nEven if he were beaten to death, he wouldn’t believe a recruit could fold the quilts like this.

n“That’s right! Ye, you’re being unreasonable. Did we lose our minds when we left Class Four just now? How could a group of new recruits fold their quilts like this? I’ll tell you right now, you must have been the ones folding them. I’ll even eat the blankets if it wasn’t you!”

n“You said it!” Ye Sanshi immediately shot back.

nHe glanced at the other class monitors. “Hey, hey, don’t talk nonsense without evidence. Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t. I didn’t fold these blankets. Don’t be jealous just because my class excels at folding them!”

n“Nonsense, Old Ye. Did we lose our minds after leaving Class Four? How could a bunch of new recruits fold their blankets like this? I’m telling you, they were the ones who folded them. I’ll eat these blankets!”

n“You said it!” Ye Sanshi looked directly at the other class monitors.

n“Count me in too!”

n“Me too!”

n“Alright, that’s what you said.” Ye Sanshi became even more excited. He turned to Wu Jianfeng and said, “Company Commander, did you hear what they said? If my squad can indeed fold the quilts like this, then the moving red flag should be awarded to me!”

n“Of course. The condition of the blanket is a significant deduction. Based on what I’ve seen so far, I believe the other classes will have similar deductions. If your class can fold the blankets like this, even without this bet, the moving red flag would still belong to you!” Kang Hua added.

nWu Jianfeng nodded in agreement.

n“Alright, Company Commander, Instructor, I’ll bring someone back.”

n“Very well, go ahead!”

nActions speak louder than words. Since there was a dispute, they would settle it through practice.

nHowever, Ye Sanshi’s current attitude made the other class monitors uneasy.

nDamn, could it really be the recruits who did it?

nIf they did, what should they do about the blankets?

nEat them?

nHow could they possibly eat them?

nThe class monitors looked at Ye Sanshi’s calm demeanor and felt their hearts pounding with uncertainty..
