Chapter 370: Chapter 216: Doubts (Part 2)
Ji Sisi sneered: "Is that so? Dare you swear on your conscience when you say that?"
Yu Na glared fiercely at Ji Sisi: "If you have the guts, go argue with Instructor Hang yourself!"
"Talking reason with her, is there any point?"
"Then what’s the point of telling me all this? I’m not the spokesperson for the instructor!"
"I didn’t really want to say it, but your expression forced me to..."
The suddenly tense atmosphere inside the carriage silenced all the previously talking and laughing trainees, involving the Female Yama, this dispute couldn’t be mediated.
"Training hasn’t started, yet the storm has already erupted. However, for us, it’s good news, finally someone else is drawing the fire. Why didn’t we notice it before?" Xing Nong whispered into Luo Ye’s ear, a faint joy on his face.
Luo Ye slightly lifted the corner of her lips in agreement, having someone else to divert the attention was indeed good, but she would not get involved in their enmity.
...
"At ease!"
"Attention!"
Shao Bo’s gaze swept over each member of Class Three, his eyes filled with subtle reluctance: "Being an instructor for Class Three makes me very happy. In the future, you all will be the finest soldiers."
"Salute!" shouted Yu Na.
The solemn military salute and the lingering gazes made Shao Bo break into a satisfied smile: "Actually, after redividing the classes, I might still be the instructor for some of the trainees. To those who make it to the final selection, I wish you all make it to the final list!"
"Thank you, Instructor!"
"Company, left turn!"
After the teams from various classes gathered, the instructors lined up and left the West Playground, with Hang Menglin and Captain Xiang standing in front of the team, both looking stern.
"At ease!"
"Attention!"
Hang Menglin surveyed the crowd: "The initial phase of military training is officially over as of today. Today’s selection wasn’t great, but I hope you can all adjust your mindset and achieve better results in future trainings.
For the next two months, Team Five will be under the coordination of Captain Xiang and other instructors. I hope everyone doesn’t slack off. After the military training, our actual training will not end. It will then be fully managed by me and Captain Xiang. If you don’t want to face severe punishments or be sent home, you cannot relax during this period!"
Hang Menglin stepped back and nodded towards Captain Xiang.
"Instructor Hang has said everything, so I won’t repeat. I trust everyone’s initiative and enthusiasm. Now I announce, the bathing area will open early today, and after dismissal you can go take a shower.
Tomorrow is a rest day, make sure you all return here by 6 PM for roll call. The assembly point is still here, do not forget the return time!"
The trainees wore faces of disbelief, which quickly turned to delight. A day off? This...this...this was really fantastic news!
...
"Luo Ye! Luo Ye!" Just as Luo Ye and Xing Nong stepped out of the bathhouse, they saw a girl running towards them excitedly, calling her name. Upon a closer look, it was Li Xiaobei from Class Two, a cute girl from the countryside who was also selected.
"What’s the matter, Little Bei?"
Li Xiaobei’s face was flushed with excitement: "It might be some high-ranking official wants to see you, in Director Li’s office, hurry."
"How do you know?" Luo Ye looked puzzled.
"I wanted to pick up a letter before taking a bath, and just as I was walking back, I happened to pass by Director Li’s office. Director Li asked me to call you over; a high-ranking official who was on the stage today smiled at me." Now it was clear why Little Bei was so excited. It was the thrill of having a high-ranking official smile at her.
"Thank you!" Luo Ye handed her basin to Xing Nong: "Can you take this back for me?"
"Wait!" Xing Nong handed the basin to Yaoguang, and pulled Luo Ye aside for two steps: "If it’s your uncle who wants to take you back directly, don’t forget about us."
"I know, I know, all your little thoughts. I have already told Little Pumpkin at home, don’t worry, dear." Luo Ye teased Xing Nong’s fingers apart and quickly ran towards Li Qingqi’s office.
Knocking on the director’s office door, Luo Ye’s smile froze on her face. In her mind, the visitor was either her uncle or Uncle Jiang, but what was going on now?
Why was she faced with the stern-looking Minister Zhan, oh, and Zhan Hao who stood beside her winking at Luo Ye, Director Li stood up: "Luo Ye, Minister Zhan has something to discuss with you." Looking at Zhan Yuying: "Minister Zhan, I’m going to Principal Han’s place, to see if other high-ranking officials need arrangements."
Zhan Yuying: "Alright, you go ahead."
"Luo Ye, Minister Zhan is my aunt," Zhan Hao said with a smile after Director Li left.
"Auntie, hello!" Luo Ye shouted, her face turning bright red, quickly corrected: "Sir, hello!"
Zhan Yuying revealed a hint of a smile in her eyes: "No need to be so nervous, sit down, I just wanted to get to know you."
"Yes, sir." Luo Ye sat down, her mind filled with question marks. Why did she want to get to know her? Was there a misunderstanding about her relationship with Zhan Hao?
Zhan Yuying examined Luo Ye up and down, not speaking, making Luo Ye even more uneasy, feeling like she was being scrutinized at a matchmaking session. She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but given the first meeting and the stature of the other party, it was hard to speak out of turn, so Luo Ye could only desperately throw a helpless look at Zhan Hao. To be alive or dead, could you just let me know?
Zhan Hao pretended not to see Luo Ye’s pleading eyes, turning his gaze to focus on some point outside the window, with such concentration that one might think he was staring at a fairy.
Luo Ye felt her teeth itch with frustration, having no choice but to muster a smile: "Minister Zhan, have you figured out where to start cutting yet?"
