The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"You guys are so bold! Do you know Linlin's background? How dare you pursue her?"

Zhang Ye did not introduce himself, but planned to chat with this group of second-generation people for a while and find out the situation.

"Speaking of this? Everyone knows that Linlin is Mr. Xu's daughter. Do you think you are the only one who knows this?"

A skinny young man, as thin as a thin dog, looked at Zhang Ye with a vague look in his eyes for a long time and continued to ask.

"You haven't told me what happened just now. What is your relationship with Linlin?"

"What else could it be? Just friends."

Zhang Ye rubbed his chin, secretly surprised at Xu Linlin's background. No wonder this little kid who knew nothing could work at the Duan department headquarters. It turned out that the power behind her was extremely powerful.

"Xiao Xu's" daughter is amazing. She is beautiful and has such a powerful background. No wonder these dogs are so active and stick to her whenever they get the chance.

"Ordinary friend?" Xigou stared at his profile with hostility.

The main reason is that Zhang Ye is too handsome, fair-skinned, and tall. He looks better than them in every way, so these young men are so nervous, fearing that there will be another strong competitor.

"She couldn't be more ordinary." Zhang Ye raised his eyebrows at him cheerfully, put his arm around Xigou's shoulders, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't like that kind of childish girl. There's nothing interesting about her."

"Then what do you like?"

Before anyone else could react, a harsh and creepy voice came from outside the door.

The crowd who were gathered together laughing and joking just a second ago suddenly distanced themselves from Zhang Ye. They all looked up at the ceiling and pretended to be dumb.

"Well, the weather is pretty nice today..." Zhang Ye looked at the girl at the door whose face was as cold as ice and who was staring at him, and smiled awkwardly.

He never thought that he would be so unlucky. He was caught by the real person just after he finished bragging.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have acted so pretentiously!

"General Wei will be here soon, so you guys better behave yourself. If I hear your laughter again, you'll die!"

Xu Linlin glared at everyone unhappily, then left in a huff.

She was just passing by and happened to hear Zhang Ye bragging, so she couldn't help but rush in.

In fact, she regretted it before she came in, and the other person didn't say anything to slander her. He was just expressing his own standards for choosing a partner.

But Xu Linlin just couldn't stand Zhang Ye's cocky look, as if she was chasing him, and her nostrils were almost reaching the sky.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Xu Linlin stopped and turned back again, then rushed to the door of the conference room and cursed.

"Bah, all men are bad!!"

"Oh shit, does this count as eating melons?"

Upon hearing this, Xigou looked at the others with a confused expression, his teeth itching with anger.

Damn it, he didn’t leave a good impression, and he didn’t get scolded at all!

Who the hell can he go to for justice...

……

About ten minutes later, there was a burst of dense footsteps outside the door. The few people who were still chatting in the room immediately realized that something was wrong. They immediately stood up and lined up, waiting for the arrival of the leader.

thump...

The door to the conference room opened, and a middle-aged man in a general's uniform walked in very quickly. His relatively young face was dotted with a few fine wrinkles, and his sharp eyes were particularly bright. Just a glance at him was enough to make people feel afraid.

"Hello, sir!"

The four of them saluted and greeted each other without looking at each other.

Looking at the young officer in front of him, Wei Tangfeng had a pretty good attitude. He introduced himself with a faint smile.

"Hello, my name is Wei Tangfeng, Chief of Staff of the Capital Command."

"Today's awarding ceremony should have been more grand, but we've been so busy lately, and all departments are overwhelmed, so I'm sorry to have to put you in this position."

"I will not be wronged, I will serve my country and my people, and I will not be bothered by the hardship or fatigue!"

Zhang Ye raised his head and said loudly, this kid is quite good at dealing with things. He took this opportunity to express his loyalty at a very appropriate time.

No one else had thought of this.

For a moment, the other three people's "hatred value" towards him increased to another level.

You bastard, you're the only one doing all the honor-making work!

"Haha, that's right. It's great that you have this awareness at such a young age." Wei Tangfeng was very pleased with Zhang Ye's "empty words". He then waved his hand and signaled the etiquette personnel outside to come in.

"Li Ming, Li Zhen, Sun Jiayou, step out!"

"To!"

Upon hearing this, Xigou and the other two took a step forward in unison, each with their chin held high, just like victorious roosters, which looked quite realistic.

"You three performed exceptionally well in the June military exercises. After deliberation by the General Staff, we have decided to award you First Class Military Merit."

Wei Tangfeng took out three golden medals from the box held by the etiquette staff and put them on each of them personally.

Zhang Ye, who was standing nearby watching the fun, felt relieved when he heard that these three people were just there to receive the award.

He was originally worried that these three guys would be awarded the rank of general, which would make him feel very pressured.

After all, they were all of similar age, but the gap was so huge that it was difficult for him to accept.

So, ever since he entered this room, he has been feeling uncomfortable and always felt inferior.

But now, knowing that they, like himself, had not received any higher honor, he felt particularly relaxed and satisfied.

The main point is that you can be good, but you can’t be too good, otherwise I will be jealous!

"Keep up the good work. Next time, I hope you can quickly grow into independent talents!"

Wei Tangfeng patted them on the shoulders one by one and gave them some words of encouragement.

In fact, he knew all these guys, and Sun Jiayou's father was his old boss.

To put it bluntly, today's commendation session was prepared for them, and Zhang Ye was just a gift, a contestant who came along by the way.

"Thank you, sir!"

Xigou and the other two squinted their eyes with joy, completely immersed in the joy of having made a contribution.

Little did they know that this military exercise was organized by their father himself, just to give them a chance to appear in front of the higher-ups.

Now, although he failed to be promoted to general, after obtaining the first-class merit, he will surely be able to successfully upgrade his star within a year.

During the early years of the Republic of China, an era of warlord chaos, if one's family had some connections in the army, it was not difficult to become a general.

"Zhang Ye!"

"To!"

After awarding military medals to Xigou and the other two, it was finally Zhang Ye's turn.

"In view of your meritorious service in suppressing bandits in Jingshan County and your successful assistance in suppressing bandits in Lin County, which promptly saved the lives of the people, the headquarters has decided to award you the rank of colonel!"

Wei Tangfeng spoke a few words symbolically, and then began to replace his epaulettes personally.

At that time, Xigou, who had just received the award, frowned immediately after hearing Lao Wei's introduction, and looked at Zhang Ye beside him with a look of dissatisfaction.

"So you are Zhang Ye!"
