Chapter 1714 Keep Working Hard!

Jiang Guangming looked at Wang Lei gratefully, then walked silently to his bed and began to tidy up his house. He knew that in order to truly integrate into this collective, he had to start with small things and win everyone's recognition and respect with practical actions.

The next morning, with the sound of the wake-up call, the day of the recruit company officially began. Jiang Guangming followed the other recruits, quickly got up, dressed, washed, and then lined up neatly on the playground. Although his movements were still a little rusty, he was obviously much more skilled than before.

After breakfast, it was daily training. Running, push-ups, pull-ups... Each training tested the physical fitness and will of the recruits. Jiang Guangming gritted his teeth and barely kept up with everyone's pace. Although he was exhausted and out of breath, he never gave up and insisted on completing all the training items.

During the lunch break, Jiang Guangming lay on the bed and felt like his whole body was falling apart. He closed his eyes and recalled the morning training, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment surged in his heart. Although tired, he felt that he had never been as fulfilled and satisfied as he was now. He knew that this was because he had really worked hard and truly felt the joy of growth.

The afternoon training was more difficult, but Jiang Guangming was more determined and calm. He no longer complained and escaped like before, but took the initiative to seek challenges and breakthroughs. With the encouragement and help of his teammates, he gradually found his rhythm and confidence, and his training results also improved significantly.

In the evening, when the last training was over, Jiang Guangming and other recruits slumped on the playground. They smiled at each other. Although they were physically exhausted, their hearts were full of joy and satisfaction. At this moment, they truly felt the power of the team and the warmth of friendship.

At this time, Instructor Qin Yuan came over, and his eyes stayed on Jiang Guangming for a moment. Then, he slowly said: "Jiang Guangming, you performed very well today. I saw your efforts and changes. Remember, the army is a place to train people. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to gain growth and progress."

Jiang Guangming heard this, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked up at Instructor Qin Yuan, with a firm light in his eyes: "Instructor, thank you. I will continue to work hard and will not let you down."

Instructor Qin Yuan smiled and nodded: "I believe you. Remember, no matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, don't give up easily. Only by persisting can you truly become an excellent soldier."

Jiang Guangming nodded silently and kept Instructor Qin Yuan's words in mind. He knew that his military career had just begun and there was still a long way to go in the future. But he also believed that as long as he continued to work hard and persist, he would be able to go further and higher.

The sun penetrated the mist and sprinkled on every corner of the military camp, giving this masculine place a layer of golden brilliance. Jiang Guangming, after yesterday's hard training and self-breakthrough, ignited an unprecedented fire of self-confidence in his heart. He stood in a corner of the playground, staring at the veterans who were doing morning exercises. Among them, Yue Ming's agile posture and calm temperament were particularly eye-catching.

Yue Ming is a legendary figure in the military camp, not only because of his outstanding performance in various military skills, but also because of his calm, introverted and hidden character. In the eyes of the recruits, Yue Ming is like an insurmountable mountain, which makes people both awed and yearning.

Jiang Guangming looked at Yue Ming, and suddenly an impulse surged in his heart. He thought that if he could defeat Yue Ming, he would not only be able to prove his strength, but also establish prestige in the military camp and make everyone look at him with new eyes. So he decided to challenge Yue Ming.

"Old soldier Yue Ming, I want to compete with you. I wonder if you are interested?" Jiang Guangming strode to Yue Ming, with a bit of provocation and confidence in his tone.

Yue Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a faint smile: "Oh? You want to compete with me? Are you sure?" There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ignorant child.

Jiang Guangming straightened his chest and said firmly: "Of course I am sure! I believe I have the ability."

Yue Ming shook his head, his tone full of the teachings of an elder to a younger generation: "Guangming, self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance. Do you know? In the military camp, strength is the most important, not verbal challenges."

Jiang Guangming couldn't help feeling a little unhappy when he heard this: "Old soldier Yue Ming, do you look down on me? Or are you afraid?"

Yue Ming chuckled, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "I'm afraid? What a joke. I just think that you are not qualified to compete with me. However, since you insist so much, I will play with you. But you have to remember that this is not a game, but a real contest."

Jiang Guangming was delighted when he heard this. He felt that he had finally angered Yue Ming and made him accept the challenge. So, he couldn't wait to get ready for the upcoming showdown.

However, when Yue Ming really started to take action, Jiang Guangming realized how naive he was. Yue Ming's movements were as fast as lightning and as powerful as a tiger. Every attack avoided Jiang Guangming's defense just right, leaving him helpless. Soon, Jiang Guangming was teased by Yue Ming like an adult beating a child, and he was in a mess.

"How is it? Are you coming again?" Yue Ming stopped and looked at Jiang Guangming, who was panting and sweating, with a bit of teasing in his tone.

Jiang Guangming's face turned red, and his heart was filled with unwillingness and humiliation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do it again! I don't believe I can't beat you!"

Yue Ming sighed and shook his head: "Guangming, don't you understand? This is not a question of whether you can beat the enemy, but whether you are ready to accept the challenge. In the military camp, strength is not expressed through words. It’s earned through sweat and hard work. The reason why you lost today is because you were too confident and didn’t really realize your shortcomings.”

Jiang Guangming was shocked when he heard this. He began to reflect on his behavior. Indeed, he had just made a little progress yesterday, and he began to feel arrogant, thinking that he was strong enough. However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face and made him understand that he still had a long way to go.

"Veteran Yue Ming, you are right." Jiang Guangming lowered his head, with a hint of sincerity in his tone, "I am too confident. I know that I still have many shortcomings and need to learn and work hard. Thank you for giving me today This lesson.”

Yue Ming looked at Jiang Guangming, with a flash of admiration in his eyes: "Guangming, you can realize your mistake so quickly, which means you can still be saved. Remember, in the military camp, never be dazzled by a momentary victory. Don’t let a momentary failure destroy your confidence. Only by constantly working hard and making progress can you truly become a good fighter.”

Jiang Guangming nodded silently, keeping Yue Ming's words in mind.

The sun shone slantingly on the playground of the military camp, stretching out the shadows of the neat rows of troops. Jiang Guangming stood in a corner of the playground, looking through the crowd and focusing on instructor Qin Yuan who was instructing the new recruits in training. His heart was filled with unwillingness and determination. Yesterday's duel with Yue Ming was like a heavy hammer, ringing the alarm bell in his heart and making him deeply aware of his own insignificance and shortcomings.

"Instructor Qin Yuan!" Jiang Guangming walked quickly towards Qin Yuan, with a hint of urgency and determination in his voice, "I have something to ask you for help."

Qin Yuan turned around and looked at Jiang Guangming calmly, as if he had guessed his intention: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Jiang Guangming took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say: "I want you to teach me how to defeat Yue Ming. I know it is difficult, but I am willing to pay any price, including...five million as a reward."

Qin Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Guangming, do you think money can solve all problems?"

Jiang Guangming was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Qin Yuan to ask this. He hurriedly explained: "No, I didn't mean that. I just... I just want to prove myself and become stronger."

Qin Yuan sighed, with a hint of earnestness in his tone: "Guangming, many things cannot be accomplished with money. Especially things in the military camp rely on strength, perseverance and wisdom. The reason why Yue Ming is strong is because He put in more effort and sweat than ordinary people. If you want to beat him, you have to put in the same effort, or even more.”

Jiang Guangming lowered his head, his heart filled with frustration. He thought that with his wealth, he could easily obtain what he wanted, including power and victory. But at this moment, Qin Yuan's words were like a wake-up call, making him realize how childish and ridiculous his thoughts were.

"But... I really don't know what to do." Jiang Guangming's voice was a little helpless and confused, "I tried, but he was easily defeated every time."

Qin Yuan looked at Jiang Guangming, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He knew that although this young man had an extraordinary family background and background, deep down he longed for true recognition and respect. So, he decided to give Jiang Guangming a chance, a chance for him to prove himself and grow up.

"Let's do this, Guangming." Qin Yuan said, "I can teach you some skills and strategies, but you must agree to two conditions."

When Jiang Guangming heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

Qin Yuan nodded and said slowly: "First, you must devote yourself to training without any slack or laziness. Second, you cannot rely on these skills and strategies to take advantage of others, but must use them to Can you improve your own strength and realm?”

Jiang Guangming nodded without hesitation: "I can! I can definitely do it!"

Qin Yuan looked at Jiang Guangming's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart. He knew that although this young man still had a lot to learn and grow, as long as he persisted, he would be able to go further and higher.

In the following days, Qin Yuan began to guide Jiang Guangming carefully. He taught Jiang Guangming how to observe the actions and habits of his opponents, how to find his own strengths and weaknesses, and formulate targeted tactics and strategies. At the same time, he also asked Jiang Guangming to strengthen physical training and skill practice to continuously improve his overall quality.

Under the guidance of Qin Yuan, Jiang Guangming began a arduous and fulfilling training life. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day. In addition to completing daily training tasks, he also eats extra meals and practices more. His figure can be seen everywhere on the playground and in the training room, becoming a unique scenery in the military camp.

However, as the training deepened, Jiang Guangming gradually felt unprecedented pressure and challenges. He discovered that Yue Ming's strength was far more terrifying and unfathomable than imagined. No matter how hard he tried and how much progress he made, he seemed unable to reach Yue Ming's edge.

"Instructor Qin Yuan... Can I really beat Yue Ming?" Jiang Guangming asked tiredly after a training session.

Qin Yuan looked at Jiang Guangming with encouraging light in his eyes: "Guangming, remember, success often belongs to those who persevere and never give up. The difficulties and setbacks you are experiencing now are the only way for you to grow. As long as you can persist, you will definitely see the dawn."

Jiang Guangming heard this and felt an inexplicable power in his heart. He took a deep breath and cheered up again: "Instructor, you are right. I can't give up, I will keep working hard!"

Half a month passed like a flash. In the strict training and self-sharpening of the military camp, Jiang Guangming seemed to be reborn, from a green recruit to a soldier who could stand on his own. However, just as he was fully committed to the military camp life and ready to face more challenges, a sudden news broke the calm.

That day, a letter from home quietly appeared at the head of Jiang Guangming's bed. He opened the envelope, and inside was a note, brief but meaningful: "Guangming, father has arranged for you, you can go home and rest for a while. The family needs you, and we are worried about you." The signature was his father Jiang Hua's name.

Jiang Guangming held the note, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that his father had always hoped that he could inherit the family business and live a stable life, instead of struggling in the barracks and enduring endless hardships and dangers. But on the other hand, his deep love for the barracks and his desire to become a real soldier burned like a raging fire and could not be extinguished.

On the weekend, Jiang Guangming set out on his way home. Along the way, he was full of thoughts, and bits and pieces of the barracks kept emerging in his mind: fighting side by side with his comrades, the careful teaching of instructor Qin Yuan, and the fierce confrontation with Yue Ming... These experiences made him more determined in his beliefs.

When he returned home, Jiang Guangming was warmly welcomed by his family. His mother prepared a table of sumptuous meals, and his father Jiang Hua also smiled rarely. The atmosphere at home was warm and harmonious. However, after dinner, the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
