The New Year's Eve banquet that was supposed to be held at Xing Yang's house had to be changed to Xiao Yue's villa because Xing Yang's parents wanted to host the banquet. This made Ning Tianyu somewhat unhappy.

However, because Su Nuo also agreed to host a banquet at Xiao Yue's villa, Ning Tianyu did not say anything else. Xing Yang also heaved a sigh of relief because he was afraid that Ning Tianyu would not come to the New Year's banquet because of Xiao Yue.

Although it was New Year's Day in a few days, other than Su Nuo, no one else showed any signs of preparing for the festival.

Xiao Yue was still busy training the new recruits. Xiao Yue did not relax his training because the New Year was approaching. On the contrary, Xiao Yue's training was harsher than usual.

Actually, Xiao Yue's actions were also the result of his accumulated experience. He knew that every time the New Year holidays passed, these recruits would almost always be lazy as if they hadn't trained. The results of their previous training would also plummet. Therefore, Xiao Yue wanted to take advantage of the New Year holidays to intensify his training, so that at least his results wouldn't drop too much when he returned from his vacation.

"Xiao Yue, are you still planning to spend the New Year in the barracks this year?" Xiang Wenjie saw Xiao Yue return to his office after training.

"I'm spending the New Year with a few of my friends at my house this year," Xiao Yue said as he changed his training clothes and changed into his uniform.

Xiang Wenjie had known Xiao Yue for several years, and he found that Xiao Yue almost never went home for the New Year. "I thought that if you were to spend the New Year in the military camp again this year, I would invite you to my home for the New Year." He tried to ask Xiao Yue why, but Xiao Yue was always silent and didn't want to say more.

Xiao Yue turned around and sat at his desk, looking at Xiang Wenjie. "Why are you going to your house? It's not that I don't have a home. I just don't want to go back."

"Alright, no matter what, it's a good thing that I don't need to see you in the barracks this year." Xiang Wenjie prepared to train the new recruits. This was the most important task for him and Xiao Yue every day.

'"It's time for you to go to class, Major Xiang," Xiao Yue pretended not to hear Xiang Wenjie's words and changed the topic. "Pay more attention to that person called Lian Qing during training. He is a plastic genius, but his personality is a bit frivolous. Please give him more guidance."

Xiang Wenjie was surprised that there were people that Xiao Yue liked among the recruits. This was a rare occurrence. "Oh, I can't believe I was able to get named by you. Then I really need to pay more attention to this person and give him some good guidance. It's not easy for you to call him by name."

"But this person doesn't seem to like being named by me very much." Xiao Yue was usually more strict with the people he liked, which would make the soldiers mistakenly think that they were disgusted by the instructor.

"The person you named is destined to be trained more strictly, so naturally it will be more painful," Xiang Wenjie raised his eyebrows.

"No matter what, pay more attention to him. If he can't stand this pain, it means that he can only be considered a piece of raw jade at most. Furthermore, it is a piece of raw jade that can't withstand carving. If it can't withstand carving, it won't become a perfect work." Xiao Yue didn't look at Xiang Wenjie, he just kept looking at the information about the recruits in his hands.

Xiang Wenjie smiled comprehensively and left the office. "I understand. I will try to carve more of him to see if he can withstand the carving."

"What do you think of Bai Le?" Xiao Yue asked Wenjie just as he was about to leave the office.

Xiang Wenjie looked back at Xiao Yue and left without turning his head. "He can also be considered a rough jade, but he is a piece of rough jade that he doesn't want to be carved."

Xiao Yue looked very helpless. Originally, he was still thinking of picking out some plastic talents from this batch of recruits. He could give them special training after the New Year holidays. However, judging from the current situation, these recruits' results were mediocre. Even if they picked a high one among the short ones, they wouldn't be able to pick a few.

Xiao Yue secretly sighed that the current army was really getting worse year by year.

Xiao Yue flipped through the information about these recruits, and unknowingly, the words Su Nuo said in the restaurant flashed through his mind.

Xiao Yue raised his head and looked at the rain outside the window. For some unknown reason, he felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

Just as he was letting his thoughts wander, someone knocked on the office door anxiously.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xiao!" Someone knocked on the door and shouted.

"What's so urgent?" Xiao Yue withdrew his thoughts and stood up to open the door.

"Lieutenant Colonel Xiao, this is bad. Team One and Team Three are fighting!" The one reporting was the captain of the second squad, Lu Bin.

"Why are you fighting?" Xiao Yue turned around and put on his hat before running to the training ground with Lu Bin.

Lu Bin followed Xiao Yue and walked quickly, "The second team felt that the first team had taken up too much training time and space. If the first team did not allow the third team to train, the two teams would start fighting."

Xiao Yue's face was full of displeasure and anger. "What do the captains of the two teams do for food! Even this matter can't be settled fairly."

Lu Bin followed behind Xiao Yue and hurriedly said, "The captains of the two teams are still fighting. They feel that they should get more training opportunities for their team members."

"What! As the captain, he actually took the lead in causing trouble. I simply don't know what it means!" Xiao Yue did not expect that these captains, who could also be considered veterans, would actually fight for the sake of training territory.

Xiao Yue walked into the training ground with a livid face. As expected, he saw the people from the first and third teams fighting.

Xiao Yue roared loudly, "All of you, stop!"

Under Xiao Yue's furious roar, the entire training ground instantly became silent, and the people fighting stopped.

"Everyone gather!" Xiao Yue ordered loudly as he walked onto the command platform.

Everyone quickly gathered in front of Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue's eyes swept across the group of soldiers as if he was about to shoot out two flames.

"Chu Ping! Liao An! Step out!" Xiao Yue named the captain of the first and third squads.

"Arrive!" The two of them stepped out at the same time.

Xiao Yue glared fiercely at the two captains in front of him, "As the captain, you actually took the lead in fighting. It seems that you captains are being too polite to me."

The two captains stood upright and didn't dare to speak out.

"Since you guys are so energetic, then go and train me!" Xiao Yue ordered the two captains loudly, "30,000 meters off-road, 500 pull-ups, 500 sit-ups, plus 500 squats against the wall. You are not allowed to eat or sleep until you finish!"

"Yes!" The two captains immediately trotted to the side and were punished.

Seeing the two captains being punished, Xiao Yue's anger did not dissipate at all. He walked down the command platform and walked past the recruits. He was so scared that the recruits didn't dare to breathe out loud, fearing that his heavy breathing would cause the King of Hell to notice him.

"Fighting," Xiao Yue said coldly, "you guys actually have the energy to fight. It seems like these training sessions are more than enough for you guys, right? I've really underestimated you guys."

"Since you like fighting so much, then I'll let you enjoy yourself today." Xiao Yue turned around and quickly returned to the command platform, ordering, "Everyone has it! Spread out in a fighting formation!"

All the team members immediately pulled back and stood up.
