The next day, Cui Yan saw someone standing tall at the door of his office from a distance.
If it’s not Song Ren, then who else could it be?
Cui Yan was impressed by Song Ren, not just because he recruited this man personally.
Song Ren was once a special forces soldier. He was proficient in close combat, gun driving, rock climbing and parachuting... He was an elite among elites. He participated in anti-terrorism and peacekeeping forces, and won the championship in two consecutive international special reconnaissance competitions, and was awarded first-class merit.
Having strong business capabilities alone is not enough.
The young man is handsome and 1.87 meters tall. He has beautiful muscles from long-term high-intensity training. Women's heart beats faster when they see him, and even men can't help but look at him sideways.
He was a quiet, quiet man, but also quick-witted and quick-witted. Drafted from a prestigious university, he was a treasured possession of the leaders. If he hadn't had a girlfriend, the leaders would have wanted to marry their daughters to him.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a high-quality male human being.
Zhu Cunjun once said: It would be great if all stories ended in the best place.
Perhaps his consecutive victories in international special forces competitions had drawn the ire of other nations. They were outmatched, so they resorted to underhanded tactics. Near the end of his third competition, Song Ren was attacked.
Two fists are no match for four hands. Despite his formidable individual capabilities, he was no match for the determined pursuers. Fortunately, he dodged in time, only being hit through the outer part of his patella. However, his mobility was restricted, and his chances of winning the championship were definitely over.
In this situation, he simply changed his target and tied up all the bad guys so that they couldn't complete the game smoothly.
In the end, the championship, runner-up, and third place were all taken by small countries that usually ranked very low, which surprised everyone. Because all the major countries felt embarrassed, there wasn't even much news coverage.
Song Ren kept turning and moving after being injured, causing secondary damage to his knee. When he was carried out, he was a bloody mess and his knee was completely unable to move.
The surgery lasted several hours, and when the doctor announced the final result, everyone felt sorry for him. Song Ren could no longer perform high-intensity training due to this knee injury, but he had no problem living a normal life.
This sentence undoubtedly cut short Song Ren's career as a special forces soldier.
Compared to those who lost their lives, Song Ren only injured his knee, and being able to survive in one piece should be considered a good result. But for a special forces soldier, a special forces soldier with the strongest individual qualities in the world, this was undoubtedly another form of death.
Everyone knows that the intensity of special forces training is so great that it is simply challenging the limits of human beings. Without high-intensity training, Song Ren's career as a special forces soldier would have come to an abrupt end.
Those who knew about it either felt regretful or sympathetic, but no one said much in front of Song Ren and just let him have a good rest.
Song Ren, on the other hand, had his own thoughts. He silently cooperated with the treatment and actively underwent rehabilitation. Six months later, he returned to the special forces, but this time, he was an instructor.
No matter how successful Song Ren's rehabilitation is, even if he can suppress the pain with a strong will, successfully complete various high-intensity trainings, and prove his ability, his knee is still injured.
The high intensity of the exercise will cause significant damage to his knees. If he continues, there's no guarantee his knees will be salvageable next time. Even if he can get a patellar replacement, it won't be any better than it is now, and it's likely to affect his normal life.
Moreover, from the perspective of maximum benefit, Song Ren's overall physical fitness has declined after the injury, and it is no longer possible to break through his own limits and raise his physical fitness again. Now it is difficult for him to even maintain his original level.
Although the leaders felt sorry, for Song Ren's own good, they had already hinted that they wanted to transfer him from the special forces and arrange a relatively undemanding job for him in the local area.
But Song Ren didn't want to. He wanted to prove himself so much just to stay in the team.
Some people also pointed out that as a former military king, Song Ren had participated in various special training and competitions, and even fought on the battlefield. He had rich experience and skills, which should not be wasted.
After several discussions, they finally decided to let Song Ren become a special training instructor. This would allow him to stay in the team, fulfill his wish, and make good use of his past experience to train new recruits; at the same time, it would not involve excessively intense training that would harm his health.
This was actually the best possible outcome. Even though Song Ren felt uncomfortable, he still accepted it considering the reality.
Again: it would be nice if all stories ended in the best possible place.
Just when Song Ren received his latest job transfer order, he also received his girlfriend's breakup message.
Song Ren's girlfriend is Li Fangfang, who was his high school classmate. She is bright and beautiful, lively, and loves to play and laugh.
When a classmate is handsome, the boy or beautiful, the classmates will easily stir up trouble and pair them together. Song Ren didn't feel anything at first, but as time went by, he couldn't help but start to notice Li Fangfang, whose name always appeared with his.
Adolescents are always naive and expectant about love. Li Fangfang's bright eyes would turn red every time she saw him being discovered.
Song Ren began to find it interesting and watched it several times without realizing it. He didn't know when it started, but they naturally got together.
The students were very happy, laughing and making noises, and soon the school knew about it.
But both were excellent students. Song Ren's grades hadn't dropped at all, consistently ranking in the top three in his grade. Li Fangfang's grades had always been average, though they had dipped recently. But with Song Ren's help, they were steadily improving, barely touching the edge of top grades.
It seems that the advantages of these two people being together outweigh the disadvantages.
The school notified parents.
Song Ren's parents are relatively open-minded and they know that it is better to guide than to block such things for teenagers in their rebellious period.
Without external intervention, your relationship may end in two months; if parents and schools intervene forcefully, it may arouse rebelliousness, which may turn into a deep-rooted wound, and then both academic performance and family relationships will be in a mess.
Knowing that their academic performance was not lagging behind and that they were just dating, they did not interfere too much. They just reminded Song Ren not to fall behind in his studies and not to do anything impulsive that might hurt the girl.
Li Fangfang's parents were very annoyed when they first arrived, but when they found out that their child's grades had improved after she fell in love, they didn't react at first.
Song Ren's parents are open-minded, and Song Ren himself is indeed a handsome man. They also said that as long as it doesn't affect his grades, they won't interfere. But he must never do anything he shouldn't do.
Song Ren and Li Fangfang naturally agreed without hesitation, and their relationship became clear.
Amid the envious gazes of his classmates, Song Ren spent almost all of his time together tutoring Li Fangfang and quietly enjoying their time together.
In the end, Li Fangfang achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination and was admitted to a university she had originally had no chance of getting into. Song Ren, on the other hand, was accepted to another key university. The only regret was that their schools were located in different places.
The love of youth is the most intense, and no distance can hinder the feelings of young lovers. During school, Song Ren and Li Fangfang communicated every day through phone calls and text messages, and their feelings for each other steadily grew.
It wasn't until my senior year that the news broke about a US artillery attack on the border that resulted in casualties. Although the US explained the incident as a signal error, given the recent political wrangling, everyone understood it was clear retaliation.
As a result, the enthusiasm for joining the army was high across the country, and a large number of young people joined the military enthusiastically, wanting to serve the country, strengthen the military, and fight against the influence of the United States.
Song Ren and Li Fangfang were also among them, but Li Fangfang did not meet the conscription requirements, so only Song Ren was selected.
Song Ren's family was highly educated, and their ancestors had also served in the military. Upon learning that Song Ren had joined the army, the whole family was very supportive. Song Ren's grandfather and maternal grandfather were especially moved, and they were moved to tears.
Song Ren went to join the army, and both of them thought they were just continuing their long-distance relationship in a new place, but they gradually discovered that many things were different.
The two could no longer contact each other frequently, and the phone call could only be once a week. In the few minutes it took to express their feelings, it was time to hang up. Sometimes, because Song Ren had to tell his family more, he might only talk to Li Fangfang once every two weeks.
Although Li Fangfang felt disappointed, she knew that was the norm in the military. She regretted encouraging Song Ren to join the army, but now that things had come to this, she could only support him. She wrote a letter to Song Ren every day, and eventually, everyone in his training unit knew he had a girlfriend he was deeply attached to.
When Song Ren joined the army, he initially felt a bit uncomfortable losing contact with Li Fangfang. But the arduous training life later made it difficult for him to dwell on it. As he adjusted to the intensity of the training, the lack of contact seemed to become normal, and the itch wasn't as severe anymore.
Song Ren's character was inherently ambitious, evident from his high school days. After adapting to the intensity of the training, he set high standards for himself and strived for excellence. He quickly distinguished himself among the new recruits.
Two years was enough time for the leaders to notice this excellent newcomer. After asking Song Ren if he was willing to continue his studies in the army, they also arranged time for him to complete his university studies.
Because when Song Ren enlisted, the first semester of his senior year had already ended. He had already completed all his credits, and the only things left were internships and thesis defenses.
In view of the ministry's desire for high-level talents, after communicating with the school, Song Ren will be awarded a graduation certificate as long as he completes his graduation thesis and passes the defense.
Song Ren certainly lived up to everyone's expectations. He successfully obtained an undergraduate diploma and bachelor's degree from a key university, and his military rank was changed to sergeant.
Smart and capable, with excellent military qualities, the leaders were very fond of such a seedling and increased their training efforts. Song Ren, who was very good in all aspects, successfully joined the special operations department with the rank of sergeant after completing his compulsory military service.
Li Fangfang waited for three years but Song Renpan never came back. You can imagine how disappointed she felt.
But Song Ren can now receive a salary, which is equivalent to finding a job, with a considerable salary and good benefits, and Song Ren is indeed very good to her. Apart from not being able to meet often, Li Fangfang is still satisfied with his identity as a special forces soldier. After all, it is also very prestigious.
According to Song Ren's military rank, if they get married now, Li Fangfang can join the army.
But he had just joined the Special Operations Unit, and it was a fresh start. It wasn't the right time to get married. Song Ren was also relatively young, just 24. He planned to wait another two years, until he turned 26, which would have meant Li Fangfang would be 25, before getting married.
If he works hard, maybe his military rank can be promoted.
Li Fangfang readily agreed.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
When the outstanding Song Ren was 26 years old and preparing to get married, the domestic and international situation was in chaos.
His unit was first sent to the border to fight drug trafficking, and then to a foreign country to fight terrorism and maintain peace, a position he held for more than two years. Immediately afterwards, he was assigned to another country's special operations unit for exchange and study, another six months.
After returning, he immediately led the team in training, determined to pass on the advanced knowledge he had learned. During this period, he also participated in various special training, rescue operations, special missions, and even participated in international military competitions, winning the championship for two consecutive years.
Although Li Fangfang was dissatisfied with the delay in the wedding date, she did not complain too much because Song Ren was bringing glory to the country and his military rank kept rising. It was an honor for her when people around him talked about it.
Song Ren also thought about whether he should get the marriage certificate with Li Fangfang first, but the longer time passed, the more he wanted to give Li Fangfang a grand wedding to compensate her for the years of waiting and her youth.
He wanted everyone to see Li Fangfang's grand wedding, rather than just receiving a piece of paper in a casual manner.
Song Ren has made countless contributions, big and small, over the years, and they were all great achievements in special times and places.
If it weren't for the fact that he was only in his early 30s and his superiors thought he was too young and wanted to suppress him, he would have been promoted to the rank of major long ago.
This time, Song Ren was injured, and his path to promotion was completely interrupted. In order to comfort and compensate, it was finally decided to settle all previous merits together and promote him two levels in a row to Lieutenant Colonel.
After all, in his situation, it is impossible for him to be promoted based on military merit. If he wants to be promoted again in the future, he can only slowly accumulate experience in the department.
The promotion notice and transfer notice were issued together, along with several military medals.
Song Ren was very happy, but he also thought of Li Fangfang. After being delayed by him for so many years, Li Fangfang was already 30 years old. It would be too heartless if he didn't marry her.
It was just right. Now that he had earned his military merits and been promoted, he wouldn't be as busy at work as before. He had even been relegated to the backline, so he wouldn't be constantly rushed into dangerous places. Perhaps God also felt that it was time for him to get married.
But before he could tell Li Fangfang, Li Fangfang's breakup message arrived first.
