Zhang Yusheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the mere thought of Yu Fulin’s oily, shiny face. It was said that this man had a strong backing; otherwise, how could he possibly make his company one of the top fifty with his utterly useless abilities?
"Fulin Group? Interesting," An Yiqing said with a meaningful and light smile. "It’s about time Xuanjin Yu Jade had some competition. Tell Jinglin to go for it; I’ve got his back if anything happens! We won’t start trouble, but if they bully us, hit them back hard! No one messes with my people!"
An Yiqing’s words deeply touched Zhang Yusheng and Hua Yun. To follow such a boss was worth it!
After finishing the discussion of official business, Hua Yun was called out by the staff outside, leaving only An Yiqing and Zhang Yusheng in the parlor.
"Brother Yusheng, how has Xiao Feng been doing recently? Any news?" An Yiqing hadn’t seen Zhang Yufeng for almost half a month, partly because she was busy, and partly because the Xuanjin Military Academy had strict management, with visiting times only twice a month.
When Zhang Yusheng began talking about Zhang Yufeng, all his usual maturity and stability vanished, replaced by a brother’s pride: "Miss, I visited Xiao Feng in the middle of this month! I can hardly believe it, her whole demeanor has changed! She’s even sharper than before! According to her instructors, ever since Xiao Feng entered the academy, she has been the most diligent one. This month, she rose from last place to be the sixth in her grade! Miss, you don’t know how relieved I am!" Zhang Yusheng, recalling the hardships they faced just a few months ago and seeing his own success and his sister’s achievements now, was deeply grateful to An Yiqing from the bottom of his heart.
Listening to Zhang Yusheng, An Yiqing couldn’t help nodding with satisfaction. Ever since her first encounter with the unconscious Zhang Yufeng in the hospital, she felt a kind of kinship with the girl. Zhang Yufeng had a free-spirited personality, but family circumstances had forced her to hide her sharpness. Xuanjin Military Academy was precisely the place to hone Zhang Yufeng into an exceptional sword!
It suddenly dawned on An Yiqing, the power structure she wanted to create might just have found its cornerstone!
"Brother Yusheng," she looked up seriously at Zhang Yusheng and asked, "if I put Xiao Feng in a tough military team where she could stand out but face great danger, would you agree to it?"
Zhang Yusheng paused at her words but then smiled understandingly and said sincerely, "Miss, the life you’ve given me and my sister is something we could never have achieved on our own. If it hadn’t been for you, perhaps Xiao Feng and I would have been homeless and penniless by now. Xiao Feng once said that she wanted to learn skills to serve you, and I fully support her decision!"
An Yiqing was moved by Zhang Yusheng’s sentiments.
That very afternoon, she took a taxi to Xuanjin Military Academy.
Xuanjin Military Academy was managed under complete lockdown, with all necessities including food, clothing, lodging, and transportation handled within the school. Without permission from instructors, students could not leave the campus at will. Those violating the rules more than three times were expelled and barred for life!
Actually, Zhang Yufeng’s visiting opportunities this month had already been used up by Zhang Yusheng. But An Yiqing’s unique status, coupled with the influence of the An and Gu families, commanded respect even from the president of Xuanjin Military Academy, who was willing to afford her considerable courtesy.
With just a phone call, An Yiqing strolled through the campus, holding a pass signed personally by the president, wearing a broad smile.
It was rest time. After lunch, the military academy’s students were enjoying a half-hour break.
An Yiqing asked some students she happened upon and found her way to Zhang Yufeng’s dormitory building.
