Half a month can feel long or short.
But for the students in the first financial management class, each day was worth remembering.
A single strand doesn’t make a thread, and a single tree doesn’t make a forest.
During this time, everyone’s feelings grew closer, and they experienced the true meaning of unity more than other classes undergoing military training.
Shi Lei originally thought that without an instructor, these newly admitted students would be like headless chickens, not knowing what to do.
But to his surprise, they overcame this with unimaginable perseverance and determination. Under Yue Qingqing’s leadership, they progressed without falling behind, even achieving outstanding results in many areas.
In the school’s twenty-kilometer wilderness training during military training, no one in the first financial management class fell behind, maintaining the most orderly team until the end.
Even the school leaders and the company commander who witnessed this couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
The company commander even specifically asked which instructor these students belonged to and, upon finding out, specially called out Shi Lei during the morning drill to praise him.
"Your students are impressive. People train in hardship, and knives are sharpened on stone. Just by looking at their spirit and morale, you can tell they’ve been well trained."
Seeing Shi Lei’s strange expression, the company commander thought he was just being modest.
Just as he was about to make a light-hearted remark, he heard Shi Lei quietly say, "They’re not under my command."
Although he felt somewhat indignant, Shi Lei still told the truth, knowing that the company commander would find out during the military summary anyway.
After listening to Shi Lei, the company commander frowned.
He knew Shi Lei’s temperament was as stubborn as a mule, which made him an excellent, obedient soldier.
But it also made him a difficult instructor.
He didn’t expect such a scenario to arise.
"Understood, return to the ranks."
Shi Lei saluted expressionlessly and jogged back to the ranks.
After learning about this incident, the company commander was somewhat pleased with the outcome.
If the students won, it would serve as a lesson for Shi Lei.
If they lost, it would be a lesson for the students, teaching them that pride requires a foundation.
Either way, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Even in the military, good soldiers need to be well-honed; the company commander believed that soldiers without tempers were not good soldiers.
If these students had silently endured Shi Lei’s training, the company commander might have looked down on them in the future.
After this incident, the company commander and other instructors began to pay more attention to the first financial management class.
They increasingly noticed the class’s shining points.
Without any supervision, they were more diligent in their training than anyone else.
They got up early and stayed up late, never slacking off, and if any student occasionally fell behind, they would quickly be brought back by others.
They somehow learned the military method and used a rope to keep their formation during training.
They ensured that during formation and marching, every gesture and movement was performed uniformly, looking like a single entity from the side.
They also performed outstandingly during shooting training.
This segment was usually a fun activity for students to get a feel for holding a gun.
The instructors never held high expectations, only worried about accidental discharges, and stayed close by to supervise.
Since there were no instructors for Yue Qingqing’s class, the company commander assigned an extra soldier to guide them.
But naturally, they weren’t as meticulous in teaching as the instructors of other classes.
However, the class’s results after shooting were astonishing.
They hit two perfect scores.
Yue Qingqing and Mi Shu.
It was said that it was the first time either of them had touched a gun, yet they shot like sharpshooters from the military, with an incredible feel for the gun.
They were unaffected by recoil, hitting the bullseye with every shot.
After reporting the targets, the scene fell silent, and the company commander even went over to take a closer look at the targets.
He then looked at the two girls in the field, unable to stop himself from giving a thumbs up in his mind.
With everyone’s gaze upon them, the much-anticipated new student parade ceremony finally arrived.
