Chapter 54 One Day!
"Could Comrade Shen be a martial arts prodigy? That distraction move he used just now was brilliant; it completely exceeded my expectations!"
"Exactly! They gave us a vivid lesson in what it means to outsmart someone, hahaha!"
Lin Shuyao's teammates looked at her with great admiration.
Lin Shuyao rubbed her wrist and said modestly, "Just lucky."
"Luck is also a part of ability! Comrade Shen is awesome!"
"Awesome! Awesome!"
"What a load of bull!" Hearing everyone praising Lin Shuyao, Zhao Tiemei couldn't take it anymore. She clenched her right fist and slammed it hard on the ground, then jumped up, glaring at Lin Shuyao with eyes blazing with fury.
"Shen Qing! You only won this time by using dirty tricks! If you had fought me fair and square, you would never have been able to beat me! Therefore, I still don't accept the result of this match! I didn't lose to you!"
Hearing that she still denied it, before Lin Shuyao could refute it, a comrade who couldn't stand it spoke up:
"Squad Leader Zhao, you can't say that! What do you mean by 'hooligan tactics'? Didn't you say it when you were beating those men to a pulp? There's no distinction between men and women on the battlefield. Since there's no distinction between men and women, how can you call that 'hooliganism'? Have you ever seen anyone of the same sex touching each other's breasts and that's considered hooliganism?"
"That's right, once you're on the battlefield, who cares if you're a man or a woman, or if you're a scoundrel? It doesn't matter what tricks you use, as long as you can take the enemy down, you win!"
"That's right! Squad Leader Zhao, we all saw you lose to Comrade Shen three times in a row. Even if you don't want to admit it, it's a fact. Comrade Shen is better than you, and he beat you!"
……
Seeing everyone speaking up for Lin Shuyao, Zhao Tiemei's chest heaved with anger, and she roared at the top of her lungs:
"I don't want to argue with you bunch of trash! You're all in the same boat, so of course you'll side with your own kind!"
waste?
Lin Shuyao didn't like hearing this. She curled her red lips slightly and said sarcastically:
"So if you lost to a piece of trash like me, doesn't that make you even less than trash? If you were really as great as you say, how come you're in the same factory and the same department as us?"
Zhao Tiemei sneered, "You're too sharp-tongued to argue with me! If you've got the guts, let's have another fair and square match, no dirty tricks allowed, just a fair fight!"
Lin Shuyao scoffed. "A black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. What business is it of yours what moves I use? I don't think there's any need for us to compete again, because no matter how many times we compete, if I win, you won't accept it. Someone like you who can't handle winning but can't accept losing shouldn't compete with others; it's beneath you!"
Zhao Tiemei wouldn't listen at all: "All you've said is that you're afraid to compete with me because you know that without resorting to underhanded tactics, you have no chance of winning against me!"
Lin Shuyao was too lazy to argue with her. Anyway, no matter what she said, she would not admit that she had lost: "I can't help it if you think that way. But don't forget to keep our bet. Starting tomorrow, you will run 5 kilometers for me every morning."
Zhao Tiemei resolutely refused, looking like she would never admit it: "Don't even think about it! The competition was unfair, the result doesn't count, and I won't honor any bet!"
Lin Shuyao laughed in exasperation. What kind of person is this?
"Fine, fine, you won't admit defeat, but you'll only admit it when you win, right? If you had said that earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time playing three matches with you."
The teammates watching were also furious at Zhao Tiemei's shameless behavior and came out one after another to condemn her:
"Zhao Tiemei, you call yourself the class monitor? You made the bet yourself, and now you're denying it after losing? There are so many of us watching! If you keep cheating like this, we'll all look down on you!"
"Heh, you call yourself a top student at military academy? I think you're no different from those scoundrels outside. Your words are like farts. I really don't know how someone like you got into military academy!"
"Breaking promises and refusing to admit wrongdoing is a complete disgrace to soldiers! It's beneath them!"
……
Everyone chimed in, pointing and whispering about Zhao Tiemei.
Zhao Tiemei, her neck stiff, her eyes like those of a poisoned machine gun, swept rapidly across the comrades who were speaking: "Say what you will, I don't accept the competition results! I...don't...accept! What can you do to me!"
Her refusal to admit defeat is neither illegal nor against factory rules. These people think they can force her to admit defeat with just a few words? No way!
When Zhao Tiemei gets stubborn, not even the Emperor himself will submit to her!
To be honest, the way she was baring her teeth and tilting her neck really did resemble one of those unruly troublemakers.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the other groups on the parade ground.
After understanding what had happened, everyone began to complain bitterly and condemn Zhao Tiemei.
A comrade with a dislocated arm stepped forward and said, "Look at my arm. Zhao Tiemei broke it when she was demonstrating the moves. She was too ruthless; she treated me like a Japanese soldier!"
Another woman with short hair stepped forward and brushed the back of her hair aside in front of everyone:
"Look, I have a patch of scalp missing here. The hair that was growing here was pulled out by Zhao Tiemei. I humbly asked her for fighting techniques, but she treated me like a human punching bag. When I saw she was serious, I took it seriously too and almost took her down. But she couldn't accept defeat, so she ripped a clump of hair off the back of my head! While I was in pain, she took the opportunity to knock me down. It's just too much!"
Upon hearing the woman's accusation, someone immediately added fuel to the fire: "Zhao Tiemei, during the competition just now, Comrade Shen touched your chest, and you said she used dirty tricks. Well, you pulled out someone's hair, isn't that also a dirty trick? You're a typical example of double standards!"
After hearing these accusations, Zhao Tiemei's teammates were utterly astonished!
I used to think she was just a little arrogant and competitive, but now it seems her character isn't so great either.
This has already aroused public outrage!
"Zhao Tiemei, did you hear that? You took advantage of your time in the army to hurt your teammates during practice, showing no regard for camaraderie whatsoever. Now that you've lost the competition, you refuse to admit it. You lack even the most basic integrity and responsibility. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be our squad leader, doesn't deserve to lead us!"
"Yes! What qualifications do you have to be class monitor?! I support removing Zhao Tiemei from her position as class monitor!"
"I support it too! Get her removed! If we let someone like her continue as class monitor, she might just ruin us one day!"
"Support! Support! We absolutely cannot let Zhao Tiemei continue as squad leader!"
……
The calls for his removal grew louder and louder, and everyone clenched their right fists, raised them high, and shouted.
Zhao Tiemei was initially taken aback, seemingly not expecting the matter to be so serious as to lead to her dismissal as class monitor. But then she was overwhelmed by a huge surge of anger. How dare these good-for-nothings dismiss her?
Her chin was held high, her eyes sweeping over the crowd with disdain and contempt: "I think you're all just jealous that I'm stronger than you, trying to band together to ostracize and isolate me! As expected, trash only knows how to band together, while the strong always fight alone!"
Her words made everyone laugh.
Several of the new employees were military academy graduates, and they bluntly exposed her: "You weren't made squad leader because you're strong, but just because we saw how enthusiastic you were, and you're a woman, so we didn't want to compete with you! You really think you're invincible?"
"Why don't you step forward and fight us right now? Let's see who's stronger!"
Zhao Tiemei, provoked by these people, lost her temper and grabbed one of them by the collar without thinking: "Come on, if you don't hit me, you're a coward!"
"Come on then, do you think I'm afraid of you?" The man, who was half a head shorter than Zhao Tiemei, began to throw punches and kicks.
Bang! Snap! Thump!
Thump! Snap! Bang!
The sounds of fists and feet colliding echoed in the air.
After only a few moves, Zhao Tiemei was forced to the ground by her opponent in a humiliating position with her face pressed against the ground and her hands tied behind her back.
"Grandson, call me 'Grandpa'!"
Zhao Tiemei stiffened her neck, her face flushed red, unable to utter a sound even as she faced death.
The other party released Zhao Tiemei, who got up from the ground. Another comrade stepped forward, unconvinced: "Zhao Tiemei, you're just physically strong, which gave you a slight advantage during military training. If it comes to brains, drawing skills, or research and development, you're no match for us!"
"Exactly! This is a technical department, not the military. It's not about who's the strongest or has the biggest fist that makes you great! You call us useless? Then do you think you could build a domestically produced car all by yourself without us?! Do you dare make such a guarantee?!"
Zhao Tiemei certainly didn't dare. She gritted her teeth so hard that her cheeks bulged out, and her face and neck turned as red as could be, as if she were about to be steamed and served at the table.
Just then, someone came out and stabbed her in the heart again:
"If you ask me, let's elect Comrade Shen Qing as our class monitor. She not only bravely challenges opponents stronger than herself, but she also remains calm under pressure and wins with her intelligence. Moreover, she is low-key and humble, and she protects us. Such a courageous, resourceful, and friendly person is suitable to be our class monitor!"
This statement quickly gained everyone's support.
"I think it's a good idea! I agree to nominate Comrade Shen Qing as squad leader!"
"I agree!"
"Comrade Shen will be the squad leader! Comrade Shen will be the squad leader!"
Everyone voiced their agreement.
This is outrageous! These useless bastards have truly defied the heavens!
Why dismiss someone as outstanding as her and instead appoint a good-for-nothing like Shen Qing as class monitor?
Do these people even know that in the military, only the best person in the entire platoon can become a platoon leader?
What makes Shen Qing so special?!
Zhao Tiemei was so angry that she trembled all over. Her hands, hanging by her sides, were clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms, her knuckles cracking. At that moment, the string of reason in her mind snapped completely!
"Ah! It's you! It's all your fault!"
She screamed wildly, like a cornered beast, and mustered all her strength to punch Lin Shuyao hard in the face!
This punch carried the force of thunder, both fast and ruthless!
It all started because of her competition with Shen Qing. This time, she wanted to see if Shen Qing could still win against her by sheer luck in the face of her sudden attack!
Ah! No one expected Zhao Tiemei to suddenly go crazy, and her speed was too fast. No one had time to react. They could only open their mouths wide and their eyes widened.
Lin Shuyao didn't expect Zhao Tiemei to pull this trick at the last minute.
The punch came with great force, heading straight for her face. Her face turned pale, her pupils contracted, and her eyes reflected Zhao Tiemei's cold, hard fist and ferocious expression, but there was no way to avoid it!
However, the expected pain of being punched did not occur.
Zhao Tiemei's fist was only halfway through its swing when a pair of large, strong hands with distinct knuckles swiftly reached out and precisely gripped Zhao Tiemei's wrists like iron clamps!
Then it snapped hard!
Then a crisp cracking sound of bones dislocating rang out.
Zhao Tiemei's wrist fell limply to her side instantly, her face contorted in pain as she let out a scream!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Shuyao looked visibly shaken.
His face was frighteningly pale.
If Zhao Tiemei had been just a little closer, her face would have been hit. That punch would have definitely broken her nose.
Thanks to Cheng Zheng's timely intervention.
Lin Shuyao clutched her heart, looking at Cheng Zheng with lingering fear, and said, "Thank you."
Cheng Zheng looked at her pale face, his eyes darkening. He turned and stared coldly at Zhao Tiemei, whose face was contorted in pain: "Comrade Zhao Tiemei, as the squad leader, you have repeatedly cheated and refused to accept defeat. You even attacked your teammates in public. You have absolutely no sense of discipline and no semblance of a soldier!"
You have disappointed me.
He hadn't intervened earlier because he wanted to see how Zhao Tiemei, as the class monitor, could handle such internal conflicts, but he hadn't expected her to perform so poorly.
They are obsessed with winning and losing, only care about showing off, have no sense of right and wrong, and lack any spirit of unity and friendship.
Such a person is indeed not suitable to be a class monitor.
Zhao Tiemei, holding her broken wrist with one hand, tried to explain, "It means I didn't attack Shen Qing just now. I just wanted to compete with her again. I... I was testing her ability to perform under pressure. After all, everyone elected her as class monitor, so I just wanted to test her..."
"Enough!" Cheng Zheng interrupted coldly, his voice unusually sharp and authoritative. "From now on, your position as class monitor is revoked. Go back and copy the rules of conduct twenty times. As for the new class monitor..."
Cheng Zheng's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Lin Shuyao.
"Based on everyone's recommendation and the actual situation, starting today, Comrade Shen Qing will temporarily assume the position of class leader. We hope everyone will cooperate with her."
What?!
Zhao Tiemei was struck dumb, staring blankly in Lin Shuyao's direction.
Shen Qing, that good-for-nothing, actually took her place as class monitor?!
Why should I?!
She doesn't agree!
Before she could even raise any objections, cheers erupted all around her.
"Yay! That's great! Congratulations, Comrade Shen!"
"Now you should call him Squad Leader Shen, congratulations!"
Lin Shuyao never expected that her physique would actually allow her to become the class monitor.
However, she always dared to take advantage of any challenge given the chance, and her sense of propriety was incredibly high. She immediately smiled and bowed to everyone, saying, "Please continue to guide me in the future, and let's improve together!"
"Okay, well said, let's improve together!"
clap clap clap...
Thunderous applause erupted on the playground.
This scene was like a sharp knife, stabbing deeply into Zhao Tiemei's heart, and it was still swirling around in her chest.
Zhao Tiemei's eyes were bloodshot, and a vicious fire of jealousy flickered in them.
These bunch of useless trash!
Just wait!
She, Zhao Tiemei, will one day avenge the humiliation she suffered today!
