Chapter 177: Taking Office as Head Instructor
After Li Mu returned to the Wanren Military District, he immediately attended the Military District meeting convened by Hong Liangpeng.
At the Military District meeting, Li Mu was officially granted the position of Head Instructor of the Wanren Military District.
After that, Li Mu listened to Hong Liangpeng ramble on for quite a while.
Only then did the meeting finally end.
After the meeting dispersed, Li Mu did not hurry to find An Xing and plant the Sub-Profound Spirit Tree.
Instead, he first returned to his own Instructor Department.
The Instructor Department was located near the Death Row Camp base within the Military District.
The department building was grand yet simple, with three floors in total.
It had more than two hundred and twenty staff members. At this moment, all of them were waiting eagerly beneath the department building.
When Li Mu walked over, everyone stood at attention and saluted. All eyes were fixed on Li Mu as they formed a path to welcome him.
When Li Mu arrived in front of them, a tall, slender beauty stepped forward and saluted.
“Tiger Marquis Li! I am Tang Meiying, Deputy Head Instructor of the Wanren Military District. I have been waiting here to welcome you to your post! Please give your instructions!”
Li Mu was somewhat surprised.
He had not expected the Deputy Head Instructor of the Wanren Military District to be a woman.
Tang Meiying looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, which was not considered old, yet her aura was not merely at the Yellow Rank Ninth Grade. She had actually already entered the Profound Rank.
Li Mu also solemnly saluted everyone.
Then he said in a clear voice, “I am Li Mu, the newly appointed Head Instructor.”
“Improving the combat strength of the Wanren Military District is a long and arduous task, and it will require everyone’s full support.”
“From now on, I hope all of you will work together and revive the Military District’s might!”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he caught a strange, slightly unnatural expression on Tang Meiying’s face.
In fact, it was not only Tang Meiying.
Everyone present felt that there was something a little strange about it.
One reason was Li Mu’s age.
He was simply too young!
He was around eighteen years old, with the youthful appearance of a high school student.
Although he had an extraordinary bearing and emitted the aura of a powerful expert, to the point that even Tang Meiying, a Profound Rank First Grade expert, felt faintly wary of him, hearing such a “little brother” lecture them still felt strange.
And he was their boss!
It would be impossible to say this feeling was not odd.
Most importantly, there was Li Mu’s final sentence.
Revive the Military District’s might!
Was that something one could say casually?
“Revive” meant that Li Mu currently believed the Wanren Military District had no might...
Otherwise, he should have said “further strengthen” or used some other word, right?
This was already a statement of dissatisfaction toward the Military District, and even toward the Commander-in-Chief.
Was this immortal really not afraid of those words reaching the Commander-in-Chief’s ears?
However, everyone only found it strange for a moment.
They already had some understanding of Li Mu’s background.
Combined with Li Mu’s record, it seemed no longer strange that he dared say something so arrogant.
At the age of eighteen, he had already commanded the Tiger Roar Army and turned it into a special formation.
For someone like him to come here and serve as the official Head Instructor could absolutely be considered giving face to the Wanren Military District.
His concurrent position as the Overall Commander of the Tiger Roar Army was far more prestigious than the position of Head Instructor of the Wanren Military District.
“All Junior Wolf Guards and above will attend a meeting in my office in ten minutes.”
After giving this instruction, Li Mu was the first to walk into the building.
Everyone answered in unison.
As Li Mu walked forward, a young woman in a pencil skirt and glasses quickly caught up to his side.
She held a stack of documents in her arms and respectfully introduced herself to Li Mu.
“Head Instructor, my name is Lin Yue. I am your secretary! I will show you the way. Your office is on the third floor, and the stairs are this way!”
She led the way very attentively.
Li Mu followed her all the way to his office.
Putting everything else aside, this secretary was quite perceptive.
As soon as they entered the office, she busied herself pouring water for Li Mu and placing the documents neatly on his desk.
Li Mu examined the office. It was spacious and bright, with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows and an excellent view. Directly ahead was a vast open space, and opposite that open space was Base One Hall.
The solid wood desk and chairs looked very refined. At a glance, it was clear they were not ordinary items.
It seemed the previous Head Instructor had known how to enjoy himself.
Li Mu sat down behind the enormous office desk.
Lin Yue had already brought over hot water. She bent slightly and explained, “Head Instructor Li, there are three sets of documents here. The first is the personnel roster of everyone in our Instructor Department.”
“The second is a current briefing on the Military District soldiers’ information registration. I have also placed the detailed materials on the computer desktop for you.”
“It includes important information such as cultivation, Merit, Contribution Points, and number of missions completed.”
“The third contains information on all training programs currently being implemented across every base in our Military District, as well as all training resources.”
“If you need any other materials or have any questions, you can ask me.”
Lin Yue was twenty-three or twenty-four years old, yet she was extremely nervous in front of Li Mu.
Because when Li Mu did not speak, the pressure he naturally exuded made her heart inexplicably beat faster.
Of course, it was not the heartbeat of attraction.
It was from fear!
Li Mu casually flipped through the personnel roster and immediately saw Tang Meiying’s information.
Tang Meiying was indeed a Profound Rank First Grade Martial Artist. She had graduated from Thousand Victories Military Academy, one of the two major Military Academies in Linyuan City.
Her military rank was Wolf Guard.
Then Li Mu put down the personnel roster. There was no need to look at the others.
Li Mu’s duty as Head Instructor was to improve the combat strength of the Military District’s soldiers. Aside from the various internal training programs for the soldiers of the Military District, he also had to reasonably organize special training or trials.
He might also need to cooperate with the higher-level education departments to carry out trials or training missions for students.
He already had a way to solve the Military District’s own training problem.
So Li Mu asked Lin Yue, “The College Entrance Examination should be coming soon, right?”
Thinking about it, several months had already passed since they awakened their talents.
Lin Yue nodded.
“Yes. There are still twenty-one days.”
“Mm. Briefly tell me what the relationship is between our Military District and the two major Military Academies.”
Li Mu asked again.
“Oh, all right. Linyuan City has two major Military Academies, Thousand Victories Military Academy and Ironbone Military Academy.”
“Thousand Victories Military Academy is the strongest. Over the past three years in particular, it has improved rapidly. Every year, it sends more talent to the three major Military Districts, especially the Red Horse Military District.”
“Ironbone Military Academy has a decent relationship with our Wanren Military District, but over the past few years, it has gradually declined for some unknown reason.”
“And...”
When Lin Yue reached this point, she hesitated.
A secretary had many functions. Aside from official duties, a secretary sometimes also needed to serve as the Head Instructor’s ears and eyes.
However, Lin Yue did not know Li Mu’s temperament, so she did not dare speak recklessly and could only test the waters.
Li Mu looked at her.
“Speak plainly.”
“For your current position, there were originally four candidates competing for it. Among them, aside from Deputy Instructor Tang, two were Reserve Officers from Thousand Victories Military Academy...”
Lin Yue spoke cautiously.
“Oh...”
Li Mu nodded and casually asked, “Is Deputy Instructor Tang very closely tied to Thousand Victories Military Academy?”
He knew that Lin Yue’s words were merely meant to remind him that Thousand Victories Military Academy had been determined to obtain this position.
And since Li Mu, an airborne child soldier, had suddenly taken the position directly, he would inevitably be watched by Thousand Victories Military Academy.
She was showing goodwill and loyalty to Li Mu.
Lin Yue hurriedly waved her hand in a small motion and said softly, “No, no. Deputy Instructor Tang is actually a very upright person. She focuses wholeheartedly on her work, and she is very good to people. To her subordinates...”
At this point, Lin Yue’s face suddenly turned pale with fright.
She cursed herself inwardly for what nonsense she was saying.
In front of the newly arrived top leader, she was praising the second-in-command?
Was she not courting death?
What if Li Mu said, “It seems you get along quite well with the Deputy Head Instructor. In that case, go be the Deputy Head Instructor’s secretary instead.”
Would that not be the end of her?
She had only been thinking of currying favor with Li Mu and showing loyalty. Since she did indeed have a good private relationship with Tang Meiying, her brain had short-circuited and she had started spouting nonsense!
