Fortunately, Lin Yi himself is not very keen on complimenting the environment. He feels that if a person is complimented too much, he will be immersed in a woven dream. In the long run, this will cause big problems.
So as far as Lin Yi's personal wishes are concerned, he is not willing to work as a secretary for Chief of Staff Duan, because the secretary's appointment has a limited time limit. After three or five years, if he returns to the grassroots level and becomes a battalion commander, there will be a huge gap.
On the contrary, it will be bigger.
But now he has a bigger doubt: why did Chief of Staff Duan name him to be his secretary? He has been deeply involved in Brigade A for so long and has countless confidants. If you pick any one, they will be loyal to him.
Geng Geng, and the position of secretary must be filled by a confidant. Who is willing to open up all their feelings to a stranger?
Although he and Chief of Staff Duan are not completely strangers, after all, he has a better relationship with Brigadier Meng.
Suddenly, Lin Yi thought of something.
Could it be that after Chief of Staff Duan usurped Brigadier Meng's position and felt sorry for him, he let himself, a former confidant of Brigadier Meng, serve as his secretary?
This idea is by far the most likely.
After thinking about it, Lin Yi understood why the relationship between Brigadier Meng and Chief of Staff Duan was so good. The two could confess to each other without any secrets. This relationship was closer than that of brothers.
If this is the case, then Lin Yi is even more reluctant to go. Lin Yi is a pure soldier. He does not want to get involved in the friendship of the leader and becomes a secretary with a purpose. Even if the purpose is a good aspect, Lin Yi does not want to get involved.
If you don't want to, things between leaders are often unclear.
After Lin Yi thought about it, he quickly made up his mind. Now that he had made a decision, Lin Yi naturally preferred to confirm it directly. This way he would not give himself a chance to waver, so he dialed the brigade commander's phone number.
The brigade commander answered quickly, and his tone was as gentle as before: "Xiao Lin, have you thought about it?"
Lin Yi replied: "Brigadier, I have thought about it and decided not to work as a secretary for Chief of Staff Duan."
When the brigade commander heard this, he was silent for a moment: "Do you know how many people want to take this opportunity?"
There are 100,000 soldiers in an army. It can be said that among these 100,000 people, the number of people who have the courage to refuse to work as a secretary to the Chief of Staff will definitely not exceed one in a thousand. Those who want to do it will naturally be ranked second.
outside.
But Lin Yi really didn't want to participate at such a high level at his current age, so he replied firmly: "Report to the brigade commander, I know there are many people who are willing to do it, but I still stick to my opinion."
The brigade commander's response at this time was very plain: "I understand, and I respect your decision. You will do a good job in the third battalion. Your grassroots work experience is the same as the foundation under a tall building. It is naturally good to lay a solid foundation."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi was still not sure what the brigade commander was feeling. This made Lin Yi sigh a little. Even the brigade commander he had followed could not figure out his mood. It was simply unthinkable.
What would it be like if you went to a large institution?
In the following period, Lin Yi lived a very peaceful life. The order of the third battalion was in good order, and the situation of the first company was also stable and improving. This made Lin Yi and Director Chen jointly decide that it was time to start spreading the additional training time appropriately.
However, the additional training time must be set by the battalion headquarters. Otherwise, if this measure is implemented, there is no telling what will happen to the people below.
Just when Lin Yi was squatting on the edge of the playground watching the first company training, Sergeant Qin ran over panting. Lin expressed his opinion and pointed to the curb stone next to him: "Just sit down and see how your family members are with the army."
How's it going? Has your superior given feedback?"
Because Lin Yi was not at the camp headquarters during this period, he actually did not know many things in the camp.
However, matters like Sergeant Qin's would only involve the Political Department at most. Even if he is at the battalion headquarters, he may not receive feedback. After all, this matter is indeed nothing to the main battalion with a thousand people.
event.
Sergeant Qin couldn't hide the smile on his face: "The brigade approved my application, and our battalion also allocated me an apartment. Now my wife and children live in it. My wife said you have been a great help.
, so I’m going to invite you to my house for a meal anyway. It’s Friday today. Is it okay if you look at it tonight?”
Lin Yi did not hesitate and nodded: "Okay, don't prepare wine tonight. I have good wine in my dormitory. I will bring it over when the time comes. By the way, call your company commander and instructor together."
Sergeant Qin has served for ten years, and he and the company commander and instructor are usually brothers and sisters, so calling them to have a meal is very simple: "Okay, deputy battalion commander, I will definitely call. By the way, what kind of food do you like to eat?"
, I asked my wife to prepare more."
Lin Yi didn't have any taboos: "Just home-cooked food is fine. Be careful not to make things too nice. Your family has just settled down here. There are still many places where you need to spend money. Let's settle down the home first."
One thing to note here is that family members are not allowed to eat in the canteen, which means that they have to buy and cook their own food. Although the food near the military camp is cheap, it is still an expense after all.
Besides, isn’t life just firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? These all cost money, and even the electricity bill has to be paid by yourself, so the expenses are not huge.
Unless a job is arranged, if the workplace has a canteen, it will naturally save a lot of money. However, since their family has just moved here, it is naturally impossible to have a job.
Moreover, Sergeant Qin's daughter-in-law has a chronic disease, and it will definitely take a long time to arrange a job. However, the government is responsible for it, and even if there is no job arrangement in the early stage, the minimum standard of living allowance will be provided.
But this money is indeed not much. The minimum wage in the province where Lin Yi lives is only 1,500 yuan. For modern life, 1,500 yuan is indeed not much.
Even though Sergeant Qin's salary is high, he must save more money. Who among the working-class people has no desire to save.
However, Sergeant Qin was very generous: "Deputy Battalion Commander, you are looking down on me. I applied for it for two years but I didn't get it. You applied for me and got it as soon as you started. You have helped me so much.
You are now my benefactor, so you should treat your benefactor wholeheartedly. Besides, my salary has been paid, so we can afford to eat whatever meat we want."
After Lin saw the complaint, he stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay, then I'll just wait for the ready-made food tonight."
At this moment, the battalion headquarters clerk ran over: "Deputy battalion commander, the battalion commander calls you over."
Lin Yi waved to Sergeant Qin to be busy first, and then followed the clerk and quickly walked to the battalion headquarters: "Next time the battalion commander calls for someone, you can call him. Running here on such a hot day is just inefficient, and it also makes people tired.
