Chapter 6: Because Lao Tzu is willing
Construction is always more difficult than destruction!
After leaving a bad impression on people, it will undoubtedly take more effort to make the other party improve.
Xu Yan is like this now. It has been ten days since he was found cheating. During these ten days, he changed his past smile and stood outside the army every day, trying his best to make up for his lack of credibility. The sweat on his face never stopped, but it still was useless. Tang Jue never looked at him again, as if he had given up on him.
After squatting for half an hour, Xu Yan drank some salt water, rested for a few minutes, looked at the troops deeply, and stood up again, this time in a military posture.
I saw that his feet were separated by sixty degrees, his legs were straightened, his thumb was pressed against the second joint of the index finger, his hands were naturally drooped, his chest was raised, his abdomen was raised, his head looked forward, his shoulders were stretched back, and his body leaned forward slightly, so that the center of gravity was pressed against the forefoot, and he stood in a very standard military posture.
Xu Yan stood firmly, not shaking, like a sculpture, with only slightly undulating chest cavity and silent sweat flowing on his cheeks, proving that he is alone.
Some people say that standing in a military posture is the mother of all military movements. It can coordinate the qi in the body with every muscle and bone in the body, perfectly stretch the qi and strength, form the greatest force in the whole body, and stand into a tall and strong pine tree.
Xu Yan now felt that he was the pine tree. I don’t know if it was an illusion. According to the method my father had been teaching him, he seemed to really feel the flow of air in his body. A stream of air was straight and clamped down from his lower abdomen, clamping his legs like pillars, and his feet were powerful and clamped tightly. One stream was scattered from his lower abdomen to the top of his shoulders and head, so that his shoulders were flat and his head were pressed against the sky, staring at the front without squinting, and the wind blew the sand and blurting his eyes without blinking; a stream of air was clenched and raised his buttocks, protecting his body, making his body as strong as steel...
Ten minutes...twenty minutes...thirty minutes...
As time went by, his breathing became heavier and heavier, his legs were heavy, as if he was filled with lead, and his whole body felt sore, but he gritted his teeth and persevered... In his dictionary, there was never the word "sacrifice". The more Tang Jue ignored it, the more he aroused his fighting spirit. Didn't the other party disdain it? Then he would persist until the other party recognized it!
A few more days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Xu Yan was standing in a military position. A light rain suddenly floated from the sky. The rain and sweat blurred their eyes. It was impossible to tell whether it was rain or sweat. Xu Yan stood upright like a pine tree, his eyes did not blink, and deep in his eyes, there was an unyielding ruthless force flashing...
Just as Xu Yan gritted his teeth and persevered, a business car with the words "Donghai Morning Post" passed by the army's door. A fashionable beautiful reporter in the car accidentally saw Xu Yan in the rain and suddenly shouted at the driver who was driving, "Stop!"
"What's wrong?" The driver stepped on the brakes and stopped by the side of the road.
The fashionable female reporter pointed in the direction of Xu Yan and said, "Return back!"
"There is nothing to interview for ordinary soldiers!" The driver curled his lips, not caring about it, but he turned the car back as he said.
"I regret it for two years when I am a soldier, but I regret it for my whole life if I am not a soldier. Many people have a soldier plot. If we interview the hot news and report it out, I believe the people will be interested."
The female reporter's eyes flashed, and in an instant she remembered several titles, such as "Revealing the Real Life of the Army", "The Army's posture in the rain shows the soul of a soldier", "Problem soldiers are punished in the rain", etc. The more she thinks about it, the more she feels the value of digging deeper.
The car was back next to Xu Yan, and the car window rolled down. The female reporter asked Xu Yan through the car window: "Hello, I am Zhang Lan, a reporter from Donghai Morning Post. Can you interview you?"
Xu Yan shook his head, threw the rain on his face off, and looked at the female reporter, but saw that she looked twenty-one or two years old, wearing a capable professional suit, but could not hide her delicate and concave figure. Perhaps because of work, she had to run around frequently for interviews. She maintained a long-term exercise without any extra fat. Her skin exposed outside the suit was so white that it was dazzling.
The most eye-catching thing is her pupils. Under her delicate facial features, there is a pair of green pupils that are rare in the East. The emerald pupils are deep and dreamy, with indescribable temptation. They have both the aphrodisiac of a girl and the charm of a mature woman. The perfect combination of youth and charm in her body is enough to make any man crazy.
After a moment of loss of consciousness, Xu Yan came back to his senses and frowned unhappily. Although Zhang Lan was a beautiful woman, the other party's attitude made him very unhappy. He wanted to interview him but he didn't even get off the car, which was a bit too big. In addition, he had been standing outside the army for nearly half a month, but he could not touch Company Commander Tang. Xu Yan felt a little impatient, so when facing Zhang Lan's question, he turned his eyes and chose to ignore it.
Seeing Xu Yan looking at her in a daze, Zhang Lan raised her eyebrows with a nice look, and there was a little disdain in her eyes. She thought that Xu Yan was confused by her beauty, just like those stinky men who covet her beauty. She asked directly: "Are you a soldier?"
"No!" Xu Yan spoke lightly.
After hearing what Xu Yan said, Zhang Lan became more and more excited and continued to ask: "Then why do you want to stand in a military position here?"
The raindrops fell down, landed on the roof of the business car, and rebounded on Xu Yan's face, making his already sour eyes feel even more uncomfortable. Facing Zhang Lan's inquiry, Xu Yan said impatiently: "I want to stand in a military posture, please don't disturb me."
"What's your attitude? What's wrong with us interviewing you? What a big name? I thought I was a big star. I told you that this is a good opportunity to report and become famous. Many people beg us for interviews. We won't be interviewed yet. Don't be ungrateful!" The driver said angrily.
When Xu Yan heard this, he was immediately annoyed. Seeing Zhang Lan smiling, although he did not agree, he did not stop the driver. Obviously, he was also in this attitude. He wiped the rain on his face and curled his lips and said, "What do you want to know?"
If you are a big mouth or a chic here, you will definitely know that Xu Yan must not be provoked at this time. It is best to hide as far as you want, otherwise you will be unlucky. However, Zhang Lan and the others didn't know this, and they thought Xu Yan was moved. They looked at each other and Zhang Lan asked, "Why are you standing here?"
"Why did I write the Tao Te Ching?" Xu Yan asked replies without answering.
"Why?" Zhang Lan was confused and asked subconsciously, not understanding what his words had to do with his own problem.
"Because I'm willing!"
After speaking coldly, Xu Yan turned around and walked away, leaving Zhang Lan stunned, and then became angry and embarrassed.
"Stop it!" Zhang Lan was furious and acted to get out of the car and talk to Xu Yan.
The driver quickly stopped her and advised: "Zhang Lan, forget it, there is nothing to say about such uneducated people. Let's go back quickly. The newspaper is still waiting for our manuscript!"
After the driver stopped him, Zhang Lan gasped for a few heavy breaths, glared at Xu Yan fiercely, and said angrily: "Wait for me, I will definitely expose your ugly appearance!"
Zhang Lan returned to the office angrily, sat on the stool, turned on the computer and started editing the press release. Soon a manuscript to attack Xu Yan was completed, spreading one or two thousand words, and smearing Xu Yan as a borer, saying that he was a borer in the army, smearing the image of a soldier, etc.
After carefully checking it twice, Zhang Lan nodded with satisfaction, knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's room, and handed the manuscript to him for review, hoping to report it, but at this moment, things turned around.
The editor-in-chief was very interested in the photos taken by Zhang Lan, but he did not agree with her manuscript. He was determined to let her modify it. He even decided to set the title, called "The Spine outside the army". The content of the manuscript also changed from the original attack on Xu Yan to the passionate young man with great ambitions and insisted on the Spine outside the army in order to enter the army to defend the country...
When Zhang Lan heard what the editor said, he was stunned!
