"I know!" Gu Xiaoxi immediately turned around and headed for the door. Gazing at the golden brilliance of the sun outside, her mood was greatly lifted.
It wasn’t long before a little soldier hurried after her, grinning at Gu Xiaoxi, "Miss Gu, wait for me."
Gu Xiaoxi turned around and realized it was the young man who had taken her to the lecture hall in the morning.
"What’s your name?" Gu Xiaoxi asked; it would be more convenient for them to travel together.
"Xiao Jiang?" Gu Xiaoxi’s mouth twitched. What kind of name was that?
Xiao Jiang chuckled awkwardly, "It does sound a lot like ’junior officer,’ doesn’t it? Make sure not to call me that by mistake. It would be embarrassing."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Jiang’s face turned red with embarrassment.
Looking at the innocent young man in front of her, Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t help wanting to tease him, "Cute Xiao Jiang, can you tell me, what fun places are there in the headquarters?"
"There are plenty!" Upon hearing this question, Xiao Jiang immediately became excited and explained, "Not far from here, there’s a recreation area. They have cultural troupes that often perform dances there, and there are basketball courts, football fields, swimming pools, taekwondo gyms, combat arenas, and even a shooting range."
Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes lit up at the information. The headquarters was truly different, not just the environment, but even the recreational facilities were abundant and exciting. "Lead the way!"
Xiao Jiang immediately coughed awkwardly, "Only junior officers and above can go there."
Gu Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, her initial excitement dampened. Afterward, she walked lackadaisically on the streets of the command center, looking up at a distant tall building with a red cross hanging on it.
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly thought of Yeh Bai and immediately grabbed Xiao Jiang’s arm and ran, "Hurry and drive, let’s go to the headquarters’ hospital together."
"To see someone!" Gu Xiaoxi chuckled.
Xiao Jiang went to get the car, and Gu Xiaoxi waited at the intersection.
As she stood there, an army-green vehicle pulled up in front of her.
The window rolled down, revealing a woman’s beautiful face.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw her clearly, her expression immediately soured.
Her arms crossed, she stared at the woman with a cold demeanor, "What are you doing here?"
"Shouldn’t I be asking you that? Aren’t you with the reconnaissance troops? Why are you here?" Zhang Jingyue also looked deep and unfriendly as she spoke.
The handsome man driving for Zhang Jingyue saw that Gu Xiaoxi didn’t even have a military rank and thus retracted his gaze, looking ahead with arrogance, as if he hadn’t seen her.
Gu Xiaoxi caught his disdainful look in the corner of her eye.
Yet she only laughed softly, saying to Zhang Jingyue, "What I’m doing here is none of your business. But I am curious how you managed to move here. Did your grandfather come over and plead for you again? It turns out it’s all nepotism. I assume this gentleman is your admirer? However, I must warn you in advance. Zhang Jingyue is fond of Young Master Quan and with someone like you, it’s purely a matter of using and then discarding."
"You...! Gu Xiaoxi, what nonsense are you spouting? You’re the one who got here through connections. Let me tell you, Zhang Jingyue earned her position here through her own abilities, working as Major General Qin Zhu’s secretary. Try to get in on your own if you’re capable," Zhang Jingyue said, glaring at Gu Xiaoxi with disdain and then, as if unable to bear it any longer, feeling disgusted to be breathing the same air as her, she hurriedly rolled up the window.
Gu Xiaoxi laughed lightly and did not reply. In her eyes, this was simply an idiot!
She didn’t want to squabble with her.
However, thinking about the future, working in the same district as Quan Shaoqing, there might come a day when she wasn’t by Quan Shaoqing’s side...
