Chapter 384 [Fire Phoenix 5]
After leaving the headquarters, Deputy Commander Tan hurried back home. As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to pick up the phone and dial his daughter Tan Xiaolin's number.
"Hey, Xiaolin, Dad has something to tell you." Deputy Commander Tan's voice was a little heavy.
Tan Xiaolin's heart tightened. She had a premonition that something bad might happen, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Dad, what's the matter? Tell me."
Deputy Commander Tan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Xiaolin, the position of Fire Phoenix instructor is no longer available."
Tan Xiaolin's face turned pale instantly. She couldn't believe her ears. This quota was of great significance to her. It was a sure thing, so how could it suddenly disappear?
She asked in a trembling voice, "Dad, are you kidding me? How is this possible? You are Deputy Commander Tan! With your identity and status, can't you even get a spot?"
Deputy Commander Tan sighed helplessly and said, "Xiaolin, Dad is also very sorry. I went to find No. 1, but No. 1 told me that there are indeed no vacancies. The situation this time is rather special, and the higher-ups have made temporary adjustments. So, if you still want to join the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces, you can only start as an ordinary soldier..."
Tan Xiaolin's mood seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss in an instant. She could not accept such an outcome no matter what. This sudden blow almost made her collapse. She had been looking forward to being promoted and holding an official position with joy, but now she had to start from scratch and start as an ordinary soldier. She couldn't help feeling wronged and angry. She already had the rank of major, so why couldn't she get the position she deserved? So, she said with dissatisfaction: "Dad, you see, I am a major after all! How can I participate in training with those female soldiers? This is simply lowering my status! Besides, joining the Fire Phoenix with my status is just flattering them!"
Hearing his daughter's words, Deputy Commander Tan couldn't help but widen his eyes and reveal an expression of disbelief. He even had a little doubt about his daughter's style for a moment, but this thought quickly flashed by. Deputy Commander Tan knew his daughter's character very well, and maybe she said such words just on impulse. He sighed softly, trying to comfort his daughter and said: "Xiaolin, don't be sad, it doesn't matter if you can't join the women's special forces, we still have the next chance. Besides, what's so good about going to that kind of beast camp? You have never suffered such hardship since you were a child, so why bother yourself? What's more, your mother and I don't want you to take risks in such a dangerous place."
Tan Xiaolin said with difficulty: "But Dad, that's always been my dream place! Dad, is there really no way I can go there?"
Deputy Commander Tan responded with a serious face: "No. 1 has made it clear that if you want to go, you must start from the most basic soldiers and participate in selection training with other female soldiers."
Tan Xiaolin was very unhappy when she heard this. She really didn't want to go through that kind of hard and tiring training, not to mention that she was a major, but now she had to accept the selection with ordinary soldiers, which was undoubtedly a shame for her.
So, she carefully proposed to her father: "Dad, can you help me get an official quota? After all, I am the instructor of the Fire Phoenix and deserve such an opportunity. Since someone else has taken the quota that originally belonged to me, it is only natural to give me some compensation. I believe that the Fire Phoenix Women's Special Forces will definitely have an official quota reserved for me, and I can't be wronged."
When Deputy Commander Tan heard his daughter's request, he almost rolled his eyes. He muttered to himself: This daughter is raised in vain! Day by day, I don't know what she is thinking about. How can a selection like this be done through the back door? Is her face really that big? She is really whimsical!
Deputy Commander Tan looked at his daughter seriously and said sternly, "Xiaolin, how can you have such an idea? Your style is not acceptable! And how much do you think your father's face is? Forget about joining the special forces. Just stay in your psychological field battalion and you will be promoted when there is a chance. As for the rest, don't count on it!"
"Dad, am I wrong? If someone hadn't taken my place, how could I have been eliminated? Doesn't the person who took my place know that I am your daughter? How dare he be so bold as to openly offend you!" Tan Xiaolin retorted angrily.
"Enough! Xiaolin, you are too spoiled. You dare to say anything without considering the consequences. To tell you the truth, this time the women's special forces team specially dispatched personnel from that mysterious group. Don't let your imagination run wild and think that someone else has taken your position. In fact, compared with them, you are not qualified at all. They are elites who have walked down the battlefield of life and death, and you are just a civilian staff. How can you be as powerful as them? Xiaolin, even if I haven't heard what you said today, let's stop here. As for the Fire Phoenix, don't be delusional. I have already informed your leader and he will never let you go. You'd better give up as soon as possible." Deputy Commander Tan said in a firm tone.
"Dad, I am your biological daughter! How can you not help me and instead help outsiders?" Tan Xiaolin retorted with a feeling of grievance and unwillingness to accept.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You are not suitable for special forces," Deputy Commander Tan pointed out bluntly.
"dad……"
"Okay, I'm going to hang up." Deputy Commander Tan said mercilessly and quickly hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Deputy Commander Tan thought for a moment, called No. 1, and said, "I finally understand why you didn't let Xiaolin go to Fire Phoenix. She's really not suitable. I should thank you for choosing someone else. Xiaolin was spoiled by me and her mother. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Number One said, "It's okay, just figure it out."
"Yes, I will discipline her well later." Deputy Commander Tan said.
"Okay." Number One said.
After hanging up the phone, Deputy Commander Tan sighed. He didn't know when his daughter started to become like this. He still blamed himself for not disciplining her well.
