Gu Xiaoxi nodded solemnly, then looked at everyone. "I’ll say it again. I am your lecturer. If anyone has an issue, feel free to raise it."
As soon as she spoke, the people in front of her became agitated.
Gu Xiaoxi stood on the podium, pulled a chair over, and sat down, her fingers twirling a pen, looking completely relaxed. She didn’t seem to get angry at the noisy commotion; instead, she was calm and composed, with a smile on her lips.
"Why would they hire someone like her? What’s the point of attending the class? I’m not going to this lecture! It’s just about hacking, isn’t it? It’s not like we don’t know what hacking is about. There’s no need for someone else to teach us. And on top of that, they bring in a young girl. What is our superior officer thinking?"
"Yeah! We should call Secretary Lin and find out what’s really going on."
"If it’s really this girl giving the lecture, we won’t attend. Seven days is simply a waste of time."
Gu Xiaoxi sat there, listening to everyone’s words ringing in her ears.
Among the murmurs of the crowd, four individuals remained still.
Tang Yisheng, Yao Yumo, Ye Shi, and Xu Jingshen. Even when they heard the noisy uproar, they didn’t turn their heads.
The four looked up and met Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze.
Gu Xiaoxi faced the sharp stares of the four men alone, far from being timid, her mouth always held a faint smile.
Moments later, the crowd in front of Gu Xiaoxi fell silent, and peace was restored to the scene.
Because when these four big shots didn’t speak, the lesser folks promptly shut their mouths.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Gu Xiaoxi smiled lightly and popped two pieces of chewing gum into her mouth. "All quiet now? If anyone wants to leave, please do so immediately. I teach only to those who appreciate me. Starting now, if you don’t appreciate me, please head for the door. Walk for fifteen minutes to the eight-story central building, and tell your highest commander to send me packing. After all, if you don’t pay me and still want me to impart skills for free, I wouldn’t want to do such a losing deal anyway."
After Gu Xiaoxi had spoken, she stared at the crowd, first looking at Xu Jingshen, then at Tang Yisheng, and after that, sweeping her cold gaze over row by row of people.
"One, two, three... ten! No one’s leaving, right?" Gu Xiaoxi stood up from the stool and walked towards the people in the front row.
"Whoosh!" Just then, a major general stood up, his gaze filled with disdain, and said, "I’m leaving!"
Facing him, Gu Xiaoxi just chuckled lightly and then walked over to him, extending a hand and patting his shoulder. It seemed like a casual pat, but she used seventy percent of her Inner Strength with that slap.
The man felt as if a huge boulder suddenly pressed on his shoulder, and caught off guard, he fell back onto the chair, his limbs went limp, and his face turned instantly pale.
Everyone’s pupils shrank, their eyes widened in shock, and they let out a cold breath, feeling a chill run down their spines.
The man whom Gu Xiaoxi patted on the shoulder was tall and strongly built like an ox, yet he was seated back down with her casual pat?
She must possess remarkable strength.
The man, not willing to accept it, clenched his fist and swiftly aimed a punch at Gu Xiaoxi’s face.
Gu Xiaoxi dodged nimbly, tilting her head to avoid his techniques. In the next second, she grabbed his shoulder and, with a fierce over-the-shoulder throw, she had the burly man flat on the ground in a split second.
People even heard the sound of his bones breaking.
Everyone exchanged glances, suggesting they didn’t know how good Gu Xiaoxi’s hacking skills were, but she was formidable when it came to fighting!
