Enlisting for the second time, starting from the strongest

Chapter 674 The mission begins

"Don't worry, Engineer Li. What happened last time was just an accident. To be honest, apart from things like thermobaric bombs, there is nothing else that can hurt me."

"If I go to Cambodia and encounter a thermobaric bomb attack, I will be really convinced."

Wang Chen was not setting a goal, but what he said last time was really a bad idea. The development of things has far exceeded his imagination.

I originally thought it was just an air strike, but who knew that the team in Lebanon was carrying something like thermobaric bombs.

Of course, Wang Chen has figured out what's most dangerous about going to Cambodia this time. Basically, the most dangerous thing is that someone is shooting in the dark.

Apart from this type, weird things like air raids don't exist.

So compared to what happened in Lebanon, Wang Chen felt that this time should not be that dangerous.

Moreover, his mission was to protect the normal operation of the construction team, not to resolve any direct conflicts, so Wang Chen felt there was no need to worry too much.

"Okay, I know you have an idea in your mind, so I won't say anything more."

Engineer Li held his waist and nodded.

He was quite relieved about Wang Chen's words.

At the same time, he was also very curious about what strange things had happened to Wang Chen. How could his physical fitness have exceeded the limits of the human body?
In short, he wanted to take Wang Chen to that kind of research institute for further study.

But for now, let’s just carry out the mission first. There shouldn’t be anything strange about this mission.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Engineer Li, please take care of your waist. I'll have someone come over to help you with the experiment."

"You shouldn't lift such a heavy thing by yourself."

Wang Chen waved his hand and walked out of the research institute.

Next, Wang Chen found the current acting captain of the reserve team, told him about the research institute, and asked them to send someone every day to assist Engineer Li Gao in conducting the experiments.

In addition, he also said that he had to go out to perform a mission, and during the time he was away, he hoped that they would not slack off in training after he left.

"After I come back, I will conduct a comprehensive test on you. If you are not satisfied with the overall test results, I will give you a whole devil month."

"Don't blame me for not warning you in advance if you suffer later."

"Captain Wang! Just rest assured and carry out your mission. We won't let our guard down during this period of time!"

When the other acting company commander heard this, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in shame.

He knew that Wang Chen was not joking with them. It could be said that Wang Chen had been too strict in training them during this period of time.

On weekdays, before Wang Chen came back, they basically ran an armed 10-kilometer run every day, and also did some comprehensive subjects.

Although it is not very tiring, the training volume is much greater than that of regular troops.

After all, Long Yan is the first new type of individual soldier unit based on information technology.

But after Wang Chen came back, their training volume doubled again. Originally, they were supposed to run 10 kilometers armed a day, but now they did 20 kilometers armed a day.

In addition, the workload for basic subjects also doubled at this time. I practiced almost from morning to night, with less than eight hours of rest a day. The rest of the time was spent on training.

The key point is that if we do this, logically speaking, someone should object and think that such training is unreasonable.

However, Wang Chen directly accompanied them in training, and all the training was carried out together, sharing the joys and sorrows. Now the group of reserve players who originally had something to say suddenly didn't say much.

In short, after Wang Chen came back, the intensity of their training was greatly increased.

Originally, when Wang Chen said he was going out to carry out the mission, he felt a little relieved and thought he could relax a little.

But Wang Chen seemed to have known what would happen, so they had to intensify their training.

"Okay, I'm going on a mission then."

Long Yan's team was on a mission outside, so Wang Chen didn't have time to find them directly. He just sent a message to Monkey Xiao Nan and the others, then changed into casual clothes, carried a bag, and came to the train station.

This time, Wang Chen needs to take a train to a city on the border, then walk across the border with a subsequent construction team, and then arrive at the area where construction is currently underway.

After arriving at the train station, Wang Chen waited quietly for the train.

Because it was a weekday and there were no holidays recently, there weren't a lot of people in the train station.

After getting on the train, Wang Chen's journey officially began.

Wang Chen, who was on the train, instinctively turned his gaze to the few passengers on the train.

Most of these passengers looked ordinary, and Wang Chen didn't notice anything unusual.

After a long train journey of several hours, Wang Chen got off the train and left the train station. He immediately dialed a contact on his new phone:

The phone rang a few times and was quickly connected. A somewhat lazy voice came from the other end:

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello? Is this Manager Chen? I'm Wang Chen, I just graduated this year, and I'm the translator you asked for on the construction site."

"I have just arrived at the border city. It would be convenient for me to ask when I can join up with our construction team?"

Wang Chen asked cheerfully.

The identity given to him this time is a construction site translator, which is a versatile position.

Basically there is nothing to do during the day, and only when there is an emergency, he helps communicate with the locals. This is a relatively free position.

"Hmm? Construction site translator?"

"Well, let's put it this way. We're already here. You can add me on WeChat first. I'll tell you where we live on WeChat, and you can just come find us."

"Let's set off together to enter Cambodia tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Chen."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Chen immediately added the other party’s WeChat and went there according to the location sent by the other party.

The location is a pretty good three-star hotel in the local area.

It can be seen that the budget this time is really sufficient, even they are staying in the highest-end hotel in the city.

After arriving at the hotel, Wang Chen found the door of Manager Chen according to the house number.

He reached out and gently pressed the door.

"Ding dong~"

The doorbell rang, and a slightly impatient voice came from inside:

"coming!"

The person who opened the door was a man who looked to be in his forties, with dark skin and a look that made one realize he was not someone to be trifled with.

The other party has a beer belly. There's nothing you can do about it. For project managers who have worked on construction sites, a beer belly is basically standard.

"Hello, Manager Chen. I'm Wang Chen."

"Are you Wang Chen? The one on the phone just now, right?"

"You've just graduated from college, right? You look quite immature, but you're quite handsome." Manager Chen showed a hint of surprise on his face. After looking Wang Chen up and down, he finally said this.

"It's OK, Manager Chen. I just graduated from college and I have nothing to do at home all day, so I raised a white one."

Wang Chen said with a smile, he had now completely immersed himself in this identity.

"Yes, you are quite handsome, young man. You look a bit like me when I was young."

"Well, you have no place to live now, right? Then you can live with me now. It just so happens that there is an empty bed in my room."

Manager Chen reached out and patted Wang Chen on the shoulder. The more he looked at Wang Chen, the more he felt that this young man was very pleasing to the eye.

"Ah? This isn't good, Manager Chen?"

Wang Chen didn't expect that the other party would be so polite and actually let him stay in the same room with him.

This is actually a good thing, as it will help him learn more about the structure of the construction site.

But it was of no use for him to know all this. Anyway, he was only responsible for translation in some key positions on the construction site, and he was free at other times.

Wang Chen planned to wait until he arrived at the construction site and then study the situation in the area of ​​Cambodia where they were currently located.

"Hey! Why are you being so polite to me?"

Manager Chen reached out and grabbed Wang Chen's hand, pulled him into the room, and closed the door.

But when he let go of Wang Chen's hand, he immediately looked down at his hand with some confusion and asked Wang Chen:

"Wang Chen, why do you have so many calluses on your hands? Why do you have more calluses than the workers on our construction site?"

Manager Chen asked with some confusion.

Just now when he was pulling Wang Chen's hand, he felt like he was touching a piece of rotten old wood, which scared him.

"Well, Manager Chen, when I'm at home, I like to exercise, and I use the equipment in the gym."

"Oh, it looks like this."

"Wang Chen, what university did you go to?"

Manager Chen nodded and continued to chat with Wang Chen with some curiosity.

"Manager Chen, I'm from the Magic City Foreign Language School, and my major language is Cambodian."

"You're from the Magic City Foreign Language School? That's great, but does the requirement for the college entrance examination score have to be very high?"

"Let me tell you, my good-for-nothing son is about the same age as you, but he's about four or five years younger than you. His grades are only good enough for a junior college, so I had no choice but to find someone to get him a private undergraduate degree."

"It would be great if my son could get good grades like you. Why is there such a big gap between people?"

As Manager Chen spoke, he began to like Wang Chen more and more.

"Hahaha, Manager Chen, maybe not everyone is gifted in learning?"

"I heard that many rebellious children nowadays will become obedient after being sent to the army for training for a few years. After they are released, they will definitely do things honestly."

Wang Chen said with a smile.

From the other party's words, Wang Chen could roughly guess that he was a rebellious teenager who didn't like studying.

Basically, if your father is a project manager, you should not have lacked anything since you were a child, so it is normal to develop this kind of personality over time.

"Huh? Yeah! Why didn't I think of that?"

"This kid has had it easy all the way, he must be taught a lesson! Back then I trained in the army for three years, otherwise I wouldn't be who I am now."

"From what you said, it seems like you have been a soldier?"

When Manager Chen heard this, he became more interested in Wang Chen.

"I did. Before I went to college, I served in the army for two years. Then my college tuition was fully waived and I worked and studied."

"Then you still have to call me old squad leader! I was also a soldier in the 2000s, but I was a member of the armed police at the time. After I was discharged from the army, I worked as a bodyguard for a boss on a construction site."

"Later, my boss gradually discovered my potential in this area, and I was promoted to the position of project manager."

As Manager Chen spoke, a hint of longing seemed to appear in his expression.

"Then I'm going to call you squad leader Chen."

Wang Chen said this with a smile. He found that the other party was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined.

"Haha, easy to talk about."

When Manager Chen heard this rare title, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"How's it going? Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something."

"There's a noodle shop downstairs that's pretty good. If you leave here, you won't be able to eat such delicious food."

"Sure, squad leader Chen, but I want to treat you. How can you let the squad leader treat you, right?"

When Manager Chen heard what Wang Chen said, his mouth never drooped and he was always smiling.

Wang Chen still has a good understanding of the ways of the world.

What's more, if the other party already has a good impression of you, it will be very easy for you to improve their impression.

Wang Chen was not a man short of money, so after arriving at the small restaurant downstairs, he ordered some dishes and had two bottles of beer.

After these things entered his stomach, Manager Chen's liking for Wang Chen suddenly increased a lot.

After the two returned to the hotel.

Manager Chen was lying on the bed. His originally happy face disappeared immediately after he received a phone call, and was replaced by a hint of anger.

At the same time, his eyes were still looking at Wang Chen.

As if he felt the other person's gaze, Wang Chen looked at Manager Chen with some confusion.

"I know, it's okay, we'll be there tomorrow."

"Translator? We have a young man here who is a translator. Don't worry, we will be able to solve it when we go there tomorrow."

After saying this, Manager Chen hung up the phone.

"What's wrong, squad leader Chen? What happened?"

Wang Chen asked the other party tentatively.

"Nothing happened. Something just happened on the construction site of our group."

"Our translator was injured, and now the entire progress is being blocked by the locals, so we can't continue the construction."

"I might need your help tomorrow."
