"Today, Seventh Company will select a group of recruits to take part in the regulations knowledge competition."
Wang Jian swiftly moved on to the next topic, reading from the script in his hand without giving everyone another chance to make a racket.
"The competition will be held next Friday. This is an opportunity."
"The top three recruits in individual scores will be awarded the Outstanding Soldier medal by the Regimental Headquarters! So everyone should participate actively..."
The squad leaders had actually already explained the participation and reward rules to the recruits.
Wang Jian had started reading from the beginning only to move past what had just happened.
Yet Liang Longhui onstage and Fang Huai below were completely unaffected by the words, their gazes silently clashing.
"...In the second round, each participating team will answer questions in order according to their member numbers. Each team will answer three questions. A correct answer earns ten points, while a wrong answer earns zero..."
"The third round will be a buzzer round..."
"Each company's team will consist of one new-training officer, one new-training backbone, and three recruits. Each company will select its own members."
"Huh? Company Commander Wang, why do officers and backbone personnel have to participate too? Weren't there only four recruits before?"
A sergeant below asked.
Wang Jian pressed his hand down. "Oh, the rules have changed. The regiment commander said reciting the regulations should be a unified requirement from top to bottom!"
"It also reflects the passing down of knowledge from top to bottom, from old to new. In short, the Regimental Headquarters has issued the requirement, so we'll follow it. There are only two officers in the company, Director Liang and me, and neither of us is afraid of choosing one out of two. You have ten people choosing one.
