Chapter 1057: Blood And Sweat
After listening to Principal Chen, Ye Jian remained quiet for a long time before replying, “Uncle Chen, did you find it a pity at that time?” He was so capable but he had to retire without a choice… He could have gone further on this path but in the end, even his identity was gone. He had to live with another identity, the principal of a middle school in a town.
Had he ever felt helpless or regretful?
Principal Chen didn’t feel helpless at all when he had to retire in this way. He accepted the military’s arrangement calmly.
He laughed heartily and answered, “There’s nothing to feel pity about. We will all retire but I retired a little earlier. However, it isn’t too early either. I retired in 1987. Until now in 1997, only ten years passed. I might be retired but I’ve always been helping the military with small matters. I don’t feel that I have ever left the military. I just changed my position.”
“Also if I didn’t retire, I won’t be able to meet a talent like you! I don’t feel any regret. I feel that I have a successor!”
There was no regret or pity. He would just feel empty occasionally at the start. But now, he had a successor. He didn’t feel empty anymore! He passed down his knowledge to the next generation so that the next generation could continue protecting this piece of land. He had no regrets!
After this talk, Ye Jian understood strongly that what you know today is a result of your efforts in the past.
She started her inferno training at the end of November. She went through a total of 26 days of inferno training. Within half a year, Ye Jian went through a complete transformation. She successfully challenged many mental and physical limits.
As Principal Chen continued to pressurize her, Ye Jian finally reached the standard for all the six stamina tasks!
She even completed the 30-km route march 11 minutes earlier than the time Principal Chen expected. She reached the requirements to become a Special Forces soldier and even passed with flying colors.
“Sweat more normally and you will lose less blood during combat.” After this intense training, Ye Jian understood the meaning behind this phrase.
From not knowing anything to knowing it and finally becoming proficient in it. From the second half of 1997 to the second half of 1998, Ye Jian’s inferno training lasted for one year. Her body and mentality went through new challenges. She was moving towards her goal firmly in an unwavering manner!
From grade eleven to the first half of grade twelve, after sending off Yang Heng’s batch, Ye Jian became a grade twelve student that was going to graduate soon.
On the blackboard, the number of days to the university entrance examination was recorded. Every day, the number decreased by one. The atmosphere in the classroom was extremely tense. They were all preparing for the university entrance examination next year with all their might.
This year, the results of the Provincial No.1 Middle School were not bad. 12 students managed to enter the National Science University and the National Arts University! There were also a few students that got accepted by overseas universities! Their acceptance rate into top universities was the highest as compared to all their previous years. They used their ability to cover up the ‘Yao Jing Suicide’ affair. They didn’t allow their reputation to be damaged.
The topic of ‘Yao Jing Suicide’ was mentioned occasionally starting from the middle of November last year. Even though she was sent to the Youth Detention Center later, many parents still felt that the school had a huge responsibility. They felt that the school didn’t teach this student well!
Just like what Xia Jinyuan said, Deputy Commissioner Yao and his wife didn’t appeal. Mother Yao found a lawyer and prepared for around three days. But, very soon, something unexpected happened.
The sudden inspection by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection caused Mother Yao to be investigated for a corruption case. It was also revealed that she forced a student to leave school because of her daughter, Yao Jing. The investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection caused Mother Yao to enter prison like her daughter.
