Chapter 787: Conference For The Team Leaders!

At the 250 Ace Mecha Clan’s base, Zhao Jun rushed into the meeting room, which was next to the regiment commander’s office, angrily.

Upon entering, there were already many people sitting orderly in the meeting room. When they saw Zhao Jun entering, some of them smiled and welcomed him.

Li Lanfeng smiled brightly and walked up to him. “Zhao Jun, we were all waiting for you. What sort of gains did you get for this mission?”

Zhao Jun looked at the smile. He should be happy to see it but he was furious now. He gritted his teeth and snorted. “Compared to you all, my gains are basically nothing.”

This bunch of people was so lucky to be called by their Boss when he was on his mission. What was worse was that they managed to advance to the domain stage because of that. ‘F**k, he advanced to the optimal peak of Qi-Jin at the same time as Qi Long, so shouldn’t he and Qi Long be the first ones to advance into the domain stage and followed by Luo Lang and Xie Yi, right? Most importantly, what the hell did Li Lanfeng do? He was at the peak stage of Qi-Jin but he managed to advance to the domain stage after just one mission with their Boss. Damn it, I shouldn’t have taken the mission. Curse my hand!’

After Ling Lan left for her mission, the 23rd division gave 250 Ace Mecha Clan an assignment. They were just tasked to guard some supplies until they reached the agreed upon drop-off point so only one team was required for this mission. Besides Li Lanfeng who was on leave, the other nine team leaders decided to draw lots for this mission. In the end, Zhao Jun was the lucky one that day (This was what Zhao Jun thought at the start. Later on, he realized that he was not lucky at all… sob). He left with his team happily and completed the mission perfectly.

When he came back excitedly to report the rewards of the mission to Lin Zhong-qing, he heard that Qi Long, Xie Yi, Luo Lang, and Li Lanfeng managed to advance to the domain stage with the help of their Boss. He exploded in anger at himself. Hence, when he knew that his Boss called for a meeting, he came over hurriedly.

The moment he entered the room, he felt pressure from just being in the presence of Qi Long, Luo Lang, Xie Yi, and Li Lanfeng. Li Lanfeng used to be weaker than him. In the past, Li Lanfeng was jealous and envious of them but now, it was his turn to be jealous and envious.

“You’re back.” A cold voice sounded beside him. Ling Lan walked over from the regiment commander’s office.

“Boss!” Zhao Jun called her with a slight hint of grievance.

Ling Lan frowned a little. She couldn’t stand it when a man shows this kind of whiny expression.

She pointed at a seat immediately. “Sit down. We will talk about you later.” She must have owed these people a lot in her past life. Ling Lan felt helpless. However, she was unable to ignore them too. ‘Fine, she is destined to worry for her comrades.’

Zhao Jun’s eyes lit up. ‘Does this mean that his Boss already had plans for him? Yes, I’m sure of it, Boss is such a fair person. Of course he would not forget about me.’ Zhao Jun thought about this and calmly sat on his seat.

Ling Lan walked to her seat after calming Zhao Jun down. When she was about to arrive to her seat, Qi Long obediently pulled her chair out for her. Ling Lan glanced at him coldly before sitting down on her seat. She felt quite speechless about this whole situation. She then saw the ten team leaders standing up simultaneously like they were in some kind of mafia and felt even more speechless. She felt like a mafia boss. She coughed before saying in a cold voice, “Have a seat.”

“Yes, Boss.” All the ten team leaders sat down.

Ling Lan didn’t know what to say. ‘When did the three veterans become like this too? Were they influenced by her childhood friends too?’ Ling Lan felt that there was something amiss about her situation. She remembered her father, General Ling Xiao who had great sway in the military and political scene with a God-Realm formidable warrior, Mu Shui-qing, backing him. This was the dream situation for an ultimate boss-like figure.

‘Fine, I must stop myself from becoming like that. I must prevent them from using this address. It might cause a really big misunderstanding in the future.’ Ling Lan looked at everyone sharply. Even those people who had just advance to the domain stage were unable to withstand her gaze.

“You must follow the rules of the military and address me accordingly. If not, you will be punished,” Ling Lan said indifferently.

The ten leader got a shock but they hurriedly replied, “Understood, regiment commander.”

Yang Mingzhi, Liu Furong, and Gu Dongyang gave a look of satisfaction. Ling Lan’s actions won their approval. Although they followed the crowd and called Ling Lan, Boss, their intentions were to test her. From the looks of it, Ling Lan was a good soldier. She had no intention of building her own faction.

Qi Long noticed that Ling Lan was not angry so he smiled and interrupted her. “We will call you that in private. That is okay, right?”

Ling Lan glanced at him. “Remember that you are still in your uniform but once you take off your military uniform, you can call me whatever you want.” It was just too striking when they call her Boss in the military. Ling Lan didn’t really like to attract more attention to herself.

Qi Long immediately lowered his head. He said dejectedly, “Yes, regiment commander!”

‘Sob, but it feels better to call him Boss.’ When he called his Boss, regiment commander, Qi Long felt it was creating distance between them. He didn’t like it. Fortunately, his Boss was doing this out of irritation. He just didn’t want to break the rules of the military. Qi Long was slightly comforted by his thoughts. Ever since their Boss allowed them to advance to the domain stage, Qi Long told himself that he would follow his Boss for life.

He had the same thought in the past too but his decision was even firmer now. Even if his father beat him to death with a baseball bat and cut ties with him, he would still follow his Boss.

The three veterans nodded their heads when they heard what Ling Lan said. Their regiment commander knew how to differentiate private and official matters. He was a very professional soldier. While Ling Lan was testing them for the entire year, they were also testing her. They respected Ling Lan for her decisiveness and ruthlessness. However, they were worried that she was heartless to her own soldiers and that she would place her own benefits in front of the country’s benefits. Within this one year of monitoring her actions, they concluded that Ling Lan was vicious but she knew when to make the right decision. Her character was good too. She finally won over the hearts of the three veterans.

Actually, Ling Lan just wanted to keep a low profile. She didn’t know that her actions gained the approval of the three veterans, making them decide to follow her wholeheartedly from now on.

“It has been a year since I took over the role as the Regiment Commander of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. I want to know what is the situation with all the teams after a year of training.” Ling Lan looked at everyone.

Everyone turned to look at Yang Mingzhi. Ling Lan didn’t give ranks to the 10 teams but everyone recognized Senior Colonel Yang Mingzhi as the number one team of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Hence, Yang Mingzhi should be the one answering Ling Lan first.
