Chapter 076 The Camp Stands Firm While Soldiers Come and Go
When Su Rui sprinted across the finish line, the entire training ground erupted with thunderous cheers! Those soldiers had been suppressed by Qin Canlong for far too long, and now they finally had their revenge!
However, Qin Canlong proved to be quite tough; amid countless jeers, he still persisted through gritted teeth and completed the remaining four kilometers!
From then on, Qin Canlong genuinely respected this new instructor. No matter how difficult or exhausting the training became, he never complained!
Surprisingly, after the recruit training, this once troublesome young man was actually recommended by Su Rui as an exemplary soldier!
By then, Qin Canlong had undergone a fundamental change, for no other reason than realizing that there are always better people out there!
But there was one condition: he wouldn’t respect any instructor except Su Rui.
After Su Rui’s training, when the recruit period ended, this guy became extremely disciplined and even led by example. His unit even received several collective second-class merits, with Qin Canlong playing an indispensable role.
The elders of the Qin family noticed the positive changes in their grandson!
These high-ranking officials had many channels and easily discovered who had brought about such a significant change in the grandson – a recruit company commander named Su Rui!
Several influential figures in the military began investigating this young man named Su Rui. They wanted to recruit such an outstanding talent into their own camp to serve the Qin family.
After the recruit training, Su Rui returned to his original special forces unit, losing all contact with Qin Canlong.
However, the Qin family’s young master didn’t give up. What seemed like a chance encounter became a friendship he was determined to pursue!
This young master had never admitted respect for any other man, but for Su Rui, who had taken him down with one move, he had genuine admiration! He was determined to find the instructor who had completely transformed him!
Coincidentally, the family elders were also looking for this young man named Su Rui, wanting to recruit him. Such a person should become an ally of the Qin family, serving this powerful clan.
Upon learning this news, Qin Canlong was overjoyed because he was also searching for information about Su Rui! With the help of family elders, things would be much easier!
To their delight, the elders found relevant information about Su Rui, but what shocked them was that all the data behind this name contained only two words – “Top Secret”!
Even more unbelievable was that Su Rui’s confidentiality level was six stars, the highest classification level in China’s military!
The highest-ranking military leader in the Qin family had been promoted to a regional military commander, yet even with their capabilities, they couldn’t access Su Rui’s detailed identity information! This said it all!
For the Qin family members, after discovering this astonishing news, they didn’t back down but felt even more excited!
Because they realized they had stumbled upon a treasure! This treasure’s name was Su Rui!
When Qin Canlong learned this news, he was incredibly excited! He never imagined that the recruit company commander who could take him down with one move was so powerful, with a top-secret identity! Having grown up in a military compound, Qin Canlong understood perfectly what these words meant!
It seemed that the company commander who had refused to accept him as a disciple despite his persistent requests was truly extraordinary!
Qin Canlong already held a high position among his generation in the Qin family, and the elders had begun to carefully consider his future. His transformation in the military further increased his influence within the family.
Thus, taking this opportunity, Qin Canlong once again requested the family elders to investigate Su Rui’s identity. The elders didn’t refuse; in fact, because Su Rui’s identity was so classified, they developed a keen interest! These military-bred people never feared challenges!
With the Qin family’s current status and power, they still couldn’t uncover one person’s identity. How many years had it been since the Qin family encountered someone like this?
So those high-ranking military officials began to take action, not feeling any sense of defeat due to Su Rui’s classified file! “Rising stronger after setbacks” isn’t always positive; sometimes it’s beneficial, but other times it might invite trouble.
However, as the Qin family continued investigating Su Rui’s identity, they received a warning!
In this era, with the Qin family’s status and position in both military and political circles, only a handful of people or institutions in China had the authority to warn them, and now it was becoming clear who they were!
Reportedly, when the Qin family’s top leaders saw that warning note signed with a brush pen, they trembled violently, with cold sweat soaking through the back of their shirts!
The investigation stopped there, and Su Rui’s identity became an eternal mystery!
The Qin family members no longer dared to touch that classified identity!
With Qin Canlong’s stubborn personality, he naturally wouldn’t give up, but he also received warnings from the family elders that if he continued investigating, it would cause extremely adverse effects for the Qin family. Under family pressure, Qin Canlong abandoned the official investigation, though he still tried to make some moves behind the scenes.
However, for such a six-star top-secret classification, Qin Canlong’s efforts were like child’s play, and challenging the impossible never yields good results!
Later, what the Qin family elders found regrettable was that just a few years after showing promising signs, Qin Canlong grew tired of the regimented military life. He proposed to transfer to civilian work, wanting to enter the business world.
The family elders tried to persuade him one after another, but none could change Qin Canlong’s mind. Unable to convince him, they had to go along with his wishes.
Fortunately, with their military and political background advantages, the Qin family already owned many industries, including pharmaceuticals. So they let Qin Canlong take over Shengtian Group – a very famous pharmaceutical company in China.
Thus, the once unbeatable military brat Qin Canlong transformed into the general manager of Shengtian Group. Of course, outsiders didn’t understand the political background behind this so-called Shengtian Group, merely regarding it as a well-connected large enterprise.
The so-called group chairman became Qin Canlong’s father, though in reality, he was just Qin Canlong’s clan uncle.
Insiders understood the situation, but outsiders didn’t. For instance, Lin Aoxue always believed in the power of technology and capital, never liking business battles involving politics, and naturally had no interest in understanding them.
At that time, Shengtian Group didn’t have the high industry status it enjoys today. After Qin Canlong entered the company and began managing all operations, the entire group’s business style underwent a huge transformation, completely different from before, and performance began to soar!
To achieve his goals, Qin Canlong could use any means necessary, whether overt or covert, legitimate or illegitimate! As long as he wanted to reach a goal, he would stop at nothing!
If not for Qin Canlong’s bold approach, Shengtian Group could never have reached its current position!
Of course, this cooperation with Bikang was just one example of his methods. Combining thuggish tactics with wisdom, threats with inducements – a glimpse reveals the whole picture!
Unexpectedly, fate played its hand. Before Qin Canlong left the military, Su Rui had already departed from that top-secret special unit due to some unspeakable matters.
Those destined to meet will eventually meet, no matter how long the wait.
Under such coincidental circumstances, Qin Canlong finally met the Su Rui he had “longed for day and night.”
Su Rui didn’t recognize Qin Canlong at first because the current Qin Canlong looked vastly different from his recruit days. Back then, Qin Canlong was dark and thin, very rough, but now he had fair skin, hair styled with gel, a wrinkle-free shirt, shiny leather shoes, and a complete business appearance. Moreover, after leaving the military, he had developed a liking for personal care, occasionally getting spa treatments, so it’s no wonder Su Rui didn’t recognize him immediately.
“I never expected it would be you.”
Looking at this greatly changed man, Su Rui felt somewhat nostalgic, as many memories of military green and camouflage colors were stirred up.
Originally, those memories sealed in his mind had gathered dust with the passage of time, but Qin Canlong’s appearance was like a breeze, slightly dispersing some of that accumulated dust.
Several years had passed unknowingly, and everyone had changed. Meeting again in these roles couldn’t help but evoke sighs and reflections.
“I really didn’t misjudge him back then,” Su Rui thought.
For Su Rui, Qin Canlong had spent three months with him, just a passerby in his life, and they never contacted each other afterward. The fact that he could still remember him now proved his memory was still good. However, Su Rui had always felt that Qin Canlong had potential; although his personality was a bit rough, he was definitely the type to achieve greatness later in life.
Such a person had obvious flaws, but even more obvious strengths.
Lin Aoxue’s beautiful eyes looked at Su Rui, then at the transformed Qin Canlong, and she whispered to herself: “Company commander?”
After a fierce bear hug, Qin Canlong continued to put his arm around Su Rui’s shoulder in front of everyone. With a mischievous smile, he offered an exquisite cigar and said: “Commander, have one. These are specially brought from Cuba, absolutely authentic. If you like them, I’ll bring all my stock to pay my respects to you.”
Hearing these words, not only did the Bikang Group employees’ expressions change, but even the ten subordinates Qin Canlong had brought were stunned!
What had they just heard?
“Pay my respects”!
These words had never before come out of Qin Canlong’s mouth!
