During breaks, Bill Han ran towards a squad, out of which its members were practicing creeping forward not that far away.
He waved at the military officer who was commanding the training and spoke to him, "Cousin Brian, come on already!"
After he seriously stared at Bill, who was now grinning cheekily, Brian yelled at the team members who were creeping forward: "Fall in!"
More than twenty members of the team stood neatly in a row within only just one minute.
"Take a five-minute break on the spot. Dismissed!"
Brian walked up to Bill, who was waiting for him under a tree. He then took off his service cap and said: "Bill, do you know you've disturbed me during the training? Since this is your first time, you don't have to run the ten kilometers as your punishment. But don't forget, I'll let you off only this time!"
"OK, Brian!" Bill immediately stood up straight on his feet and gave a military-like salute to Brian. His behavior, which looked serious enough, brought a smile on Brian's swarthy face.
"Well. What's up? Tell me, quick!"
Bill anxiously took out an envelope from his pocket and gave it Brian: "Brian, would you please do me a favor?"
Bill was miserable and couldn't get in touch with anyone, because his mobile phone had been confiscated by his grandfather when he was enrolled in the troops. He could only get in touch with the people outside of the camp using the old-fashioned way.
Brian took the military envelope after taking a brief glance at it.
"Please help me send it to Janet, who works at the SL Group." Bill had no chance to use his mobile phone and also couldn't get out of the troops under the strict surveillance he was being put under.
But Brian, who had just been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, could not only get out of the camp, but could also get out with the orderlies at any time, and without any supervision by anyone.
"I won't help you!" Brian handed the envelope back to Bill.
'Such an awful guy! How dare he make me his courier and even ask me to send an envelope to a woman!'
"Brian, I'm so miserable, would you please have mercy on me? If your to-be sister-in-law runs off with anyone else, could you at least be able to bring her back to me?" Bill's grandfather had confiscated Bill's mobile phone and had kept him from contacting Janet, which made him very angry.
Luckily, he met Shirley, who returned home during the field training the day before and learned that Janet worked at the SL Group.
But Shirley's phone had just run out of power, and so he still couldn't call Janet at that time.
Brian stared at him, and said, "Look at you. You are so desperate, and it's just for a woman. I feel so ashamed for you!" As Bill's cousin, Brian certainly knew that Bill had made a proposal to Janet in America.
"Brian, would you please help me out this time? I promise I will behave well in the troops." Bill decisively made a promise just for a letter to be delivered.
Brian took a discontent look at Bill and grabbed back the letter from Bill's hand. He then put it into his pocket, and said, "Get back to your training!"
"Thanks a lot!" Bill jumped with joy and kissed Brian on his cheek and hugged him. Then he went back on his way with a feeling of satisfaction drawn all over his face.
Brian wiped Bill's saliva off of his face in disgust, and bitterly went to find a tap to wash it off of his face.
At the SL Group.
Every staff in the Secretary Department saw that Spark, the special assistant, had been around Janet the whole afternoon.
But why? Was it just because Lola, the Chairman's wife, had asked him to serve Janet?
In addition to that, after Lola went away, nearly everyone in the Secretary Department carried out various favors for Janet.
