54: A child of destiny!

"Director Niu, that's what happened. I was just forced to retaliate!" In the car, Ye Liuyun recounted the entire incident.

Director Niu snorted coldly, "Next time you encounter such a person, hit him hard! If he dies, the school will compensate for you. What kind of person dares to call you a monster?

This is only because we are here. If we were on the front line, I would directly chop off his head."

Listening to Director Niu's words, Ye Liuyun's eyes widened.

Goodness, is this what a sense of belonging feels like?

He was experiencing it!

"That Wu fellow's father is a retired staff officer from the Eastern Front. I've heard of him. Having such a son, his father must not be having an easy time!"

"So he's a second-generation rich kid? No wonder he's so arrogant! What about Director Su?"

"He was also from the Eastern Front before, and was later transferred to be a director at the research institute. He and Wu Xunyuan's father are sworn brothers. Their families originally wanted to arrange a marriage between the Su family's daughter and Wu Xunyuan.

But that girl didn't fancy that guy."

Ye Liuyun looked at Director Niu and asked curiously, "How do you know so much gossip?"

He knew too much, didn't he?

A hint of pride flashed across Director Niu's face. "As the director of the admissions office, what don't I know? However, it depends on Headquarters' attitude towards your test results!"

"Oh!"

Ye Liuyun leaned back in his seat.

No sooner had he spoken than Ye Liuyun's phone vibrated.

He took it out and his pupils immediately constricted.

"Director Niu, this..."

"What's wrong?"

Director Niu turned his head and saw that Ye Liuyun's phone displayed an incoming call from the Great Xia Headquarters!

"This can't be a telecom scam, can it?"

"Stop the car!"

Director Niu quickly called out to the driver.

After the car stopped, Director Niu told the driver to get out. He turned back to Ye Liuyun and instructed, "This is a call from Headquarters. When they ask something, just tell them the truth!"

After speaking, he also turned and got out of the car!

A call at this time must mean that Headquarters had received the test records.

It should be good news.

If Ye Liuyun's test results were not good or there were other issues, Headquarters would not contact him directly.

Ye Liuyun was also a little nervous due to Director Niu's demeanor.

He answered the phone and put it to his ear.

"Hello, is this Ye Liuyun?"

"I am. And you are?"

"I am Tang Guosheng!"

Tang Guosheng?

Ye Liuyun mumbled the name, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity. After pondering for a while, his mind boomed.

Tang Guosheng? The military's second-in-command!

He knew why it felt so familiar; that name was on the commendation list at the Eastern Front.

A big shot!

A truly important person.

"Hello? Little fellow, are you still there?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you calling me caught me off guard for a moment."

"Hahahaha, you're an interesting young man. After testing at the institute, there's nothing wrong with your ability.

Cultivate well. I've already informed Wang Mang to fully mentor you.

You can ask him anything you don't understand."

The voice on the other end of the phone gave Ye Liuyun the same feeling as Ning Nanguo.

Like a father... "Thank you, Minister Tang."

"Deputy, deputy. Just focus on your studies at National Martial Arts University. I believe you will be an outstanding figure of Great Xia in the future.

As for some of your rewards from the Eastern Front, we won't convert them into physical items for you.

You don't lack those things.

After consideration, we'll give you a position. I will announce it on the military network shortly, appointing you as a staff officer of the Great Xia Headquarters."

Ye Liuyun agreed without hesitation.

When someone of this Rank speaks to you, it's best to agree promptly.

"Alright, that's all. Little fellow, study hard. I have high hopes for you. Goodbye!"

Listening to the disconnected tone on the other end.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath.

Damn!

How great an honor would this have been in his previous life?

In this world, a country's military power definitely Ranks above all other powers.

The military's second-in-command is roughly equivalent to Great Xia's second-in-command.

Bringing glory to his ancestors!

Director Niu saw Ye Liuyun hang up the phone from outside the car and got in first.

"How was it? Any confidentiality clauses?"

"No, Director. It was Minister Tang who called me."

"Tang..." Director Niu gasped.

As a military man, he knew a little about the higher-ups.

This person would be the number one next year!

For him to personally call Ye Liuyun, what exactly were this guy's test results?

"He said my reward from the Eastern Front was exchanged for a position."

"Exchanging it for a position is great, much better than those physical items. Our school has everything you could want.

Which front line position?"

Director Niu looked at Ye Liuyun curiously.

This was normal.

This indicated that the military had already focused on Ye Liuyun as a key training target.

"Not the front line."

"Not the front line? Then the school? That's not bad either."

"Not there either."

"Not there either? Then where?" Director Niu turned and asked.

He thought it would be a staff officer in a certain regiment on the front line or an honorary position at the school.

Anything lower was impossible.

After all, that person had called.

"It's a staff officer at Headquarters."

"Oh, it's... Headquarters?" Director Niu suddenly shot up, his head creating a large dent in the car roof.

He looked at Ye Liuyun in disbelief.

"What did you just say? A staff officer at Headquarters?"

"Mm."

"Damn it, you kid hit the jackpot!"

Director Niu couldn't help but swear!

Ye Liuyun saw Director Niu's reaction and knew that this position was extraordinary. Indeed, what the higher-ups gave him was the best.

"A staff officer at Headquarters has military authority! You can mobilize a regiment on any front line, and a Headquarters position is elevated by one Rank on the front line!" Director Niu gazed at Ye Liuyun. This kid's status, in some aspects, was now much higher than his.

"A regiment?" Ye Liuyun was inwardly astonished.

He hadn't expected this position to hold so much power.

"You've been noticed by Headquarters. You're the first student in our school's history to have this Rank."

Director Niu told the driver to get in and start the car.

Since it was announced on the military network, there was no need for secrecy.

This kind of treatment showed that Headquarters' favor was not ordinary.

Perhaps in the future, Ye Liuyun might even have a seat in that highest room.

They profited!

Their school truly profited greatly!

Quancheng.

Ning Nanguo, who was working, saw the incoming call on his phone, and a hint of excitement immediately flashed across his brows.

"Hello, old leader, what brings you to call me?"

"Nanguo, your godson is very well-chosen. I hope you protect him well and Cultivate him for our Great Xia..."

...That afternoon.

A piece of news was announced on the military network.

"Former Deputy Company Commander of the 95th Company, 98th Regiment, Eastern Front, Ye Liuyun, bravely killed enemies and showed fearless courage in battle. After deliberation by Headquarters, it has been decided to transfer Ye Liuyun as a combat staff officer for Headquarters. This appointment is signed by Deputy Minister Tang Guosheng and is effective immediately."

This brief announcement shook the entire Great Xia military.

A young man under twenty had already entered Great Xia's highest Headquarters.

This was something countless people dreamed of but dared not even imagine.

All major front lines reposted this announcement.

This had an inspiring significance.

When Zhao Donglai and Xu Feng saw this appointment, they exchanged speechless glances.

They had once said that perhaps the next time they saw Ye Liuyun, they would have to call him 'officer'.

Now it had come true!

But it had happened too quickly!

Lu Province, Quancheng, Pingcheng.

Administrative regions at every Rank were vigorously promoting Ye Liuyun.

This was a great honor!

In just one night, Ye Liuyun's name once again caused a sensation nationwide.

A favored son of heaven!
