Lu Yimei waved a hand in dismission. “If that weren’t the case, I would have matchmade the two of them. Too bad Qingjiu only cared about training and viewed everyone else equally. But finding out now that she has a boyfriend, I definitely can’t bring them together anymore.”
“Back then, I thought Qingjiu’s boyfriend was Yin Ruoyi…”
Zhu Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
Lu Yixin was speechless. “They’re worlds apart, okay? Just think about it, and you’ll know it’s impossible. Qingjiu never even interacted with Yin Ruoyi one-on-one before. But then, my brother said something wrong. Why would she worry about reputation? If I had a boyfriend as handsome as their Chief Instructor, I would wake up from my dream laughing….”
Everyone went speechless.
Lu Yimei patted Lu Yixin on her shoulder. “Don’t let your brother hear this. Else, if he wants to bash you up, I won’t stop him from doing so!”
Lu Yixin said, “Hmph. When this afternoon’s training ends, I’ll head to the hospital to visit Qingjiu. Who else wants to come along?”
“Me, me.”
“I… Feifei and the rest said they wanted to come along too. They asked us to wait, so we all could go together in the afternoon.”
Zhu Yuan and several members raised their hands. Lu Yixin nodded her head.
Lu Yimei clapped. “Alright, let’s all go together in the afternoon. For now, you can go about your respective businesses. Stay out of this matter, and we’ll see how things go. Stop discussing it in private.”
“Yes, Commander!”
“Alright, Commander!”
While this brief discussion was taking place in the shooting department, things weren’t peaceful with the school’s higher-ups.
When Nian Chusheng heard this news from Xiong Xuejian, he froze on the spot. “This piece of news is spreading?”
“Yes!”
Xiong Xuejian was baffled as well. “Although we could tell early on, this Chief Instructor He shouldn’t have acted so rashly. It doesn’t seem like his style of doing things!”
“What style is his? He’s only been here for a short while, and you already understand him?”
Nian Chusheng put his hand behind his back and stared at Xiong Xuejian with fierce round eyes. “I said before, don’t guess other people’s intentions randomly!”
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right, Commander!”
Xiong Xuejian couldn’t help but add, “I’m afraid the principal will have a hard time dealing with this matter, huh? One is an outstanding student, and the other is an instructor…”
“Gu Qingjiu can’t be blamed for this. Look at that super attractive face of your Chief Instructor He. The school shouldn’t have transferred such a person over!”
Nian Chusheng condemned with righteous words.
Xiong Xuejian was speechless.
He couldn’t help reminding, “Gu Qingjiu and Chief Instructor He were both transferred from the Dayi military zone. Perhaps they might have had something going on even back then. Or else, why would he suddenly go from a Chief Instructor in a military zone to a Chief Instructor in a school? This is not how transfers are done.”
Back then, Nian Chusheng even reminded Xiong Xuejian about this.
“You’re right. Things are troublesome now.”
Nian Chusheng sighed. “Now that the news has already spread, it must have reached the principal by now. How this matter gets dealt with will depend on those higher-ups. Let’s wait and see what happens. Regardless, we have to at least make sure Gu Qingjiu stays with us. This incident mustn’t affect her. Or else, our school, and even China, can’t possibly sit by and do nothing while a genius sharpshooter like her is being suppressed.”
“I’m afraid it won’t work. Yin Ruoyi’s teacher has already approved for Gu Qingjiu to go over to take part in the training. I wonder if this matter would affect her training.”
Xiong Xuejian couldn’t help but worry for Gu Qingjiu.
