Having said that, he surpassed them and went downstairs.
The soldiers from the Second Squadron all wore smiles.
Zhao Jinchen walked past Hu Hongzhi, who looked utterly baffled, and also patted him on the shoulder.
"Squad Leader Hu, I'm counting on you!"
Chen Zhenghai also stepped up and patted him, his face revealing a hint of teasing:
"Little Hu, work hard after you're transferred to the county squadron! Sooner or later, you'll be back!"
Ye Jiahong added his pat too: "San Er, all the comrades of the Second Squadron will always remember you!"
"San Er" was the new nickname that Ye Jiahong had given Hu Hongzhi, an upgrade from the previous "Hu Han San."
"Dean Chen" was the nickname for Chen Yuanzhang.
People from the Second Squadron, along with the soldiers from other units who got on well with the Second Squadron, would be assigned nicknames by the few nickname-emperors of the unit.
