Chapter 22: Promoted to Captain
You just have to work hard, and Providence will do the rest.
Zhou Shang was originally indifferent to this sentence.
Because he thinks it's a paradox that the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Because those who work hard believe that achievements are achieved by their own efforts, and have nothing to do with luck.
On the contrary, it is those who are unwilling to work hard who really need the blessing of luck.
worked hard and was lucky, Zhou Shang himself felt that it was too hateful.
When the gong sounded, he got up as usual, ready to wash, eat, and train, but was stopped in the dining hall by Wang Gua.
The king gourd with heavy eye circles looks like he hasn't slept for a while, but his mental state is really good.
"I'll just say that I'm a one-in-a-million alchemy wizard, haven't I heard the fryer for three days, what is this called, this is called rapid progress!"
Wang Gua slapped the dinner plate in front of Zhou Shang, and began to brag about himself with his hands dancing.
"Master Wang is mighty!"
Zhou Shang echoed at the right time, making Wang Gua talk more intense, and even began to talk about the professional knowledge of alchemy.
Zhou Shang didn't understand this, but he understood that Wang Gua didn't really want him to understand, so he just needed to listen quietly.
In the end, he was able to enter the emotion, thanks to the turtle and crane breath taught by Wang Gua, with this friendship, Zhou Shang was also willing to show enough patience when facing Wang Gua.
Finally, Wang Gua, who had been talking for a long time, stopped talking contentedly, and then took out a Dan box from his arms and slapped it in front of Zhou Shang with a "pop".
The crisp sound directly attracted the attention of the guards who were eating, and when they saw that it was Wang Gua and Zhou Shang, they hurriedly looked away.
Camp bullies plus training maniacs, any curiosity will be killed by such a combination.
Zhou Shang looked at the Dan box shot by Wang Gua, and he didn't know why: "What does this mean?" ”
"Pei Yuandan, for you."
Dan Dao's strength soared, and he had a good time, Wang Gua said vaguely with a satisfied face.
“...... Master Wang, I am the guard of the camp in the end, I am very embarrassed if you do this! ”
Zhou Shang was obviously a little confused, and after seeing left and right that no one was paying attention, he leaned in and lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you quietly put the pill back, I won't see it?" ”
"Damn, do you think this elixir was stolen by Lao Tzu?"
Wang Gua's eyes were round, and he almost didn't choke, "Just a few Peiyuan Pills, Lao Tzu can afford to lose his career?" What kind of brain are you, this elixir is specially given to you, as a reward for the first person in the camp to break through the qi! ”
"There is such a good thing!?"
Zhou Shang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hugged the Dan box as he spoke.
I am worried about where to solve the gap in cultivation resources, isn't this a rain from heaven?
If he had just entered the camp, he would have been suspicious.
But who made the treatment of Qiankun Commercial Bank really good.
With the atmosphere of the proprietor, in order to stimulate the guard's enterprising heart, it seems reasonable to set up a progress award, no problem!
The mahogany pill box was opened, and the fragrant pills were lying quietly inside.
Zhou Shang took a deep breath and felt refreshed, "This freshly baked Pei Yuan Dan, the smell is different!" ”
"Then it doesn't need to be said, don't look at who did it!"
Seeing Zhou Shang praising his work, Wang Gua's eyes narrowed proudly: "The owner said, this elixir is supplied until you pass the pulse realm, so work hard, boy, look for Yongning, there are not too many such wrongdoers!" ”
"The business of the merchant house is booming! The proprietor has a good sail! ”
Zhou Shang sighed and took the Dan box into his arms and sent his most sincere blessings to the unit.
At the end of the meal, Wang Gua, who was reversed day and night, went back to the room to catch up on sleep, while Zhou Shang carried the pill and went to the school field.
What was different from usual was that the commander Lou Hong stood on the stage early and waited, and there were six men from the original caravan standing behind him.
After everyone stood in line, a big news was announced.
"The firm has opened up several trade routes in Yongning, mainly for the purchase and sale of the towns around Yongning, so the firm has promoted six more guys to become the head of the caravan, and now six teams need to be divided into the camp to guard the caravan.
"Zhou Shang, Niu Liang, Zhang Meng, Li Hu, Wei Xiong, Zhao Qiang!"
"The six of you, as the captains of the six caravans, give you a little time to select familiar members from the camp, and if there are no familiar ones, they will be assigned by the commander."
Those who were named were the best of the guards in the camp.
Whether it's personal realm or training performance.
And such a person usually produces a lot of fans, after all, Mu Qiang is the nature of most people.
Except for Zhou Shang.
After all, the image of the training madman is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As long as many guards think of Zhou Shang's training volume, their legs will be weak.
No one would take the initiative to become one of his team members.
So the scene is that wherever Zhou Shang's eyes see, the guards where they are will bow their heads or look away.
Even the few little fans who usually worship him the most are no exception.
Examples are for worship, not for suffering.
Why should the workers be embarrassed by the workers, the guards are very sober.
So in the end, he still had to lead Lou Hong to name the four members of Zhou Shang's team.
"The six squad leaders and team members stay, and the rest are disbanded and ready for training!"
Leaving the six team members, Lou Hong began to introduce the six people behind him, "Standing behind me is the staple food of the new six caravans of the firm, you get to know each other." ”
After that, Lou Hong left the school platform and went to practice the guards.
And the six new directors, with smiling faces, also greeted their respective escort captains.
Zhou Shang, the young man who came to meet him, saw that the last time he went to Yaoshi Village, he was still a guy in the caravan, he always rushed to the first in his work, he always had a smile on his face, and he seemed to have endless energy after being busy.
At that time, this little ghost left a deep impression on Zhou Shang, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, he had become the main person of the caravan.
Although people who work hard will not be disappointed, how many units can really ignore seniority and pay attention to ability.
The employment environment of this Qiankun commercial bank is really good, a bit excessive.
Sighing like this in his heart, the caravan chief and the captain of the guard looked at each other.
"Captain Zhou, and everyone, I am Shen Chi, I was lucky to be promoted by the owner to be the caravan manager, just call me Xiao Shen!"
With dark skin, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, a dimple baby face appeared when he smiled, and Shen Chi said to everyone with some flattery: "In the future, the safety of the caravan will all depend on you, if there is anything that is not done well, Captain Zhou, you can mention it more." ”
“... Master Shen doesn't have to be so modest, the proprietor promoted you, which means that he believes that you have the ability to lead a caravan, I am the first time to be the captain of the guard, and I don't know the work of the captain of the guard, so I think about it this way, on the way to business, the escort team is under the full command of Director Shen, and you don't have to treat me as a captain, they are all the same guards. ”
Without the intention of being polite to Shen Chi, Zhou Shang directly clarified his attitude.
He was not willing to expend his energy on anything else other than his practice.
Compared with the captains on the school field who hold their heads high and are proud of the spring breeze.
Zhou Shang's behavior is so outstanding and ...... Abrupt.
Shen Chi, who was in charge just now, was a little stunned, he even thought that Zhou Shang was talking back or being tempted.
But think about it carefully, is it necessary for Zhou Shang to be false with himself?
The director is only a name, and whether he can manage the caravan well depends on the ability of the director.
The relationship between the caravan and the convoy has always been a big problem.
Although nominally subordinate, in fact to the wild, of course, the bigger fist is the master.
Some of the old stewards have enough prestige to subdue the guards, which is based on their own abilities and connections.
It was not uncommon for the new steward to command the immovable guards.
Especially the caravan chief and the captain of the guard, it is really hard to say who has a higher status.
Shen Chi was suddenly promoted to be in charge, and at such a young age, his actions would inevitably be underestimated.
So before he came, he had made up his mind that he wanted to get along with the captain of the guard as much as possible.
For this reason, he even did an investigation and knew in advance who his escort captain would be.
When he learned that the person who served as the captain of the caravan was the Zhou Shang who was wearing the heavy armor of Xuantie in Yaoshi Village last time, Shen Chi was really surprised and delighted.
The joy is Zhou Shang's strength, although he has not yet entered the product, but he can wear such a heavy iron armor to move freely, this is definitely the best in the realm of fitness, and those who wear medium armor and light armor, and are busy shedding their armor as soon as they rest, and sit on the ground gasping for breath, the difference in strength is obvious.
What worries about the other party's personality is the situation I heard from the camp, Zhou Shang is a complete training maniac and a rice bucket, and in addition to cultivation and dry rice in his life, it seems that he can't hold anything else.
Such people are usually people who are respected by strength, and while they are very ambitious, they also use strength as a yardstick to measure all things.
It is harder to get them to obey the orders of the weak, than to ascend to heaven.
So Shen Chi put his posture very low at the beginning, obviously he was the caravan manager, but he was bowing down and admitting his smallness.
Because he understands that he has no advantage in snatching the command of the caravan with Zhou Shang now.
Only when he is on the road, the escort encounters some non-force problems, and then he solves these problems, can his status slowly improve and his opinion be taken seriously.
For this reason, he even made a long-term plan, preparing to slowly close the relationship with the guards, mainly to improve his voice in Zhou Shang.
But he never thought that none of those prepared strategies would be used, and Zhou Shang would hand over the command of the escort team entirely?
And this kind of good thing!?
The excessive surprise made the always astute head a little stuck, Shen Chi was entangled in his heart for a long time, and with a little temptation, he cautiously suggested: "Captain Zhou, I have an idea, you can see if it is feasible, because the service object of our caravan is a few villages and towns across the wasteland.
Considering that it is autumn rainy weather, the mountain roads in the wasteland are rugged, and it is even more difficult to walk after the rain, so I wondered if it would be better to start earlier.....
Of course, of course, the merchant is not a trivial matter after all, and there must be a lot of information to sort out when the escort team is just established, based on your time Captain Zhou, I just make a small suggestion. ”
Zhou Shang glanced at Shen Chi, who was cautious, and his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
Ignoring the content of flattery and politeness, Zhou Shen understood Shen Chi's central meaning, and turned straight to several team members and said: "All the team members are disbanded, prepare their bags at a stick of incense, and open them at any time." ”
Zhou Shang's loud and clear voice made the noisy school field quiet.
Several team leaders who were chatting happily turned their heads in amazement, looking at Zhou Shang and his team members, who had been disbanded on the spot and ran to the house separately, their faces were a little ugly.
Compared with Zhou Shang, their groups are a bit of a rabble.
It's the same with training, it's like eating like this, and it's still like this when you're a captain?
It's all part-time jobs, why are you so powerful!
Interrupted by this, the captains who had no more to talk about quickly finalized the opening time with the principal.
Because of Zhou Shang's exemplary role, the time for the guards to be mobilized and prepared was greatly shortened.
This also made several new stewards have a deep impression of Zhou Shang.
Of course, the happiest among them is Shen Chi.
He found that Zhou Shang was indeed very different from those cultivators he had ever met.
