However, although Lin Yi thought so in his heart, he still said: "It may be that the former brigade commander wanted to compete for the first place too much, so he increased his training intensity."
Brigadier Meng looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "Xiao Lin, this is not what you are saying. There is no need for you to treat me in a shady way. I trust you and that's why I let you be my assistant. If
If you don't even tell me the truth, then how can I carry out my work in Brigade B? Wouldn't I be blind and deaf?"
Lin Yi felt a shiver in his heart, and suddenly felt that he was wrong. He was the eyes and ears of the brigade commander. If he told lies to the brigade commander and said some personal opinions, it would greatly mislead the brigade commander. This is
Absolute mistake.
"Brigadier, I was wrong. I will make a fair evaluation in the future."
Brigadier Meng knew that Lin Yi was new to the assistant industry, so he didn't blame him. "It's okay. Just don't make mistakes like this in the future. Come on, let's go back to the dormitory."
Back to the dormitory? Lin Yi quickly asked: "Aren't you going to the hospital to see the injured soldiers? This is a very important way to gain the favor of the soldiers."
The brigade commander waved his hand, "Don't go now. Now is the time for the soldiers to complain about us. If we go over now, they won't have any good impressions of me. You can go to the logistics director later and ask them to add more to the patients' meals."
Let the soldiers eat chicken legs and beef for a few days first, and we will go see them."
Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
After sending the brigade commander back to his dormitory, Lin Yi walked towards the office, but before he had taken a few steps, Deputy Director Wang appeared halfway, "Assistant Lin."
Lin Yi looked at Deputy Director Wang in surprise, "Why are you here? Isn't the Logistics Office busy?"
Deputy Director Wang scratched his head, "Aren't I here to deliver some toiletries to the brigade commander? By the way, Assistant Lin, the political commissar asked our logistics department to prepare a welcome banquet to welcome the brigade commander to take up the post.
Help me tell the brigade commander to attend on time at eight o'clock in the evening."
Lin Yi said 'hmm', "Okay, I promise to bring the message to you. By the way, the brigade commander just told me that your logistics department should improve the food for patients. Every meal must include chicken legs and beef."
This was the first order issued by the brigade commander. Deputy Director Wang stood at attention and said, "Yes, I promise to complete the mission."
Lin Yi saw Deputy Director Wang acting so formally and knew that he was a little insecure. He just wanted to express through his own words how much he obeyed the brigade commander's orders in order to gain favor, "Okay, you go first.
Right. By the way, take me to the brigade commander’s office. I’ll clean up the brigade commander’s room first.”
Deputy Director Wang smiled and said: "The brigade commander's office has been cleared out a long time ago. Our officers and soldiers are really looking forward to the brigade commander coming to serve in our brigade. We don't dare to be careless in this regard."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Deputy Director Wang, I am just a little assistant. There is really no need for you to say these things in front of me."
Does Deputy Director Wang know the principle of being a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister? What's more, Lin Yi is the confidant brought back from brigade A by the brigade commander. How dare he not take it seriously? If Lin Yi doesn't like him, what should he say in front of the brigade commander?
If you don't say anything bad about yourself, then the road ahead will be too difficult.
Therefore, Deputy Director Wang would not dare to withhold the necessary respect.
"Assistant Lin is joking. You are not a little assistant. By the way, I still have a few bottles of good wine in my room. I don't know if Assistant Lin likes them. I'll send them to you tonight."
When Lin Yi heard this, his heart tightened. He knew how rich the leader in charge of logistics was. If a wine was said to be good, it must be absolutely good. If he accepted it, he would be making a big mistake.
He waved his hand quickly: "Deputy Director Wang, you're welcome. I'm not an alcoholic, let alone good wine. You can keep the wine for yourself."
Deputy Director Wang was so tactful. He immediately understood what Lin meant and immediately explained: "Assistant Lin misunderstood me. I'm not giving you a gift. I just have a few bottles of good wine that I want to share with you. Let's drink together."
One thing, this is absolutely legal and compliant.”
Giving gifts suddenly turned into drinking together. The nature of this completely changed. The Discipline Inspection Commission of the Army was very strict and had no control over drinking together.
If I had not become the assistant to the brigade commander, and a deputy director asked me to have a drink with him, I would have run very fast, but now I am really not able to do that. I am acting like a fox and pretending to be a tiger. The leader values me only because he is the brigade commander behind me.
Before the brigade commander performed a major operation on Brigade B, it was impossible for him to get close to any department leaders.
"Deputy Director Wang, you see, I'm a newbie here. I'm drinking before I even start doing anything. This is too bad."
Deputy Director Wang smiled and said, "If you don't want to drink tonight, you can drink tomorrow night, or you can drink next week. As long as you tell me a time, I will be free at any time."
Lin Yi didn't want to offend the leader, "Okay, I'll drink it if I have a chance later. If nothing happens, I'll go to the office first."
Deputy Director Wang said quickly: "Okay, I'm going back to the agency just in time, let's go together."
But as soon as the two entered the government building, they saw a dozen school officials standing at the door. Lin Yi looked at Deputy Director Wang, "Why are these people standing in the hall?"
Deputy Director Wang said quickly: "These are the chief officers of each battalion. Didn't the brigade commander take office? They came to meet the leaders."
After speaking, he clapped his hands. In an instant, more than a dozen lieutenant colonels looked over. When they saw Deputy Director Wang, they all said hello, "Hello, Deputy Director Wang!"
Deputy Director Wang immediately pulled Lin Yi up, "Everyone, this is Lieutenant Lin Yi, assistant to the brigade commander. Come and meet me."
When the lieutenant colonels heard about Lin Yi's identity, they quickly crowded over. I am the commander of Battalion A, the Chief of Staff of Battalion B, and the instructor of the Service Support Battalion...
Lin Yi was surrounded by more than a dozen school officers. He didn't know what to do next, so he could only say: "The brigade commander is resting, and there is no time to come to the police station now. Don't get together and let everyone see what he said.
"
Even though Lin Yi was just a lieutenant, with his status as the brigade commander's assistant, his words were surprisingly effective. Everyone stopped being crowded and started lining up. Within ten seconds, everyone stood together.
Row.
At this time, a colonel came out and shouted to the dozen or so school officers, "What are you talking about? You are all leaders of each battalion, and you are noisy at the brigade headquarters. This will let the brigade commander know what he will think of us."
, so embarrassing.”
When everyone saw that the deputy brigade commander was coming, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
When Deputy Director Wang saw the deputy brigade commander, he quickly stepped forward and introduced, "Deputy Brigadier Zhao, this is Lin Yi, assistant to the brigade commander."
After hearing this, Deputy Brigadier Zhao nodded and said proactively: "Assistant Lin, the brigade commander's office has been tidied up. Do you want to go and have a look? This office was tidied up by several department leaders, and they behaved better than orderlies.
They are all diligent."
Lin Yi didn't dare to stay here for fear of being surrounded by the battalion chiefs again, so he nodded quickly: "Okay, then I'll go to the brigade commander's office first."
