Gu Qingjiu had known about the result since yesterday.
So, she didn’t feel much about the revelation and she could only smile calmly. “Okay, Instructor Chen. I will work hard.”
She didn’t appear regretful or anything.
Chen Haoyang silently approved of Gu Qingjiu’s attitude upon seeing her reaction.
He had all along felt that this girl had a calm mindset. It was neither arrogant nor impetuous. He foresaw that she would amount to something great in the future!
While Chen Haoyang approved of Gu Qingjiu’s acceptance of the result, Xie Ya, who stood next to Gu Qingjiu, curled her lips in disdain upon hearing the latter’s reply.
Such a hypocrite! God knows just how furious she felt inside
At the thought of being selected into the advanced training camp before Gu Qingjiu, she couldn’t hold back her excitement.
She had no idea why; she simply disliked Gu Qingjiu.
Especially when Gu Qingjiu berated her in front of the Chief Instructor—it made her feel utterly embarrassed.
Xie Ya’s father, who owned a martial arts school, taught her to put on a more radical personality.
She attached great importance to victory and losing.
Hence, she particularly valued such matters.
After the two of them learned of the results, Chen Haoyang let them go out after speaking a few words.
Once out, Xie Ya totally couldn’t control her expression. She gleefully sneered, “Gu Qingjiu, I just knew I will—you!”
Before she could even finish speaking, her expression had a drastic change.
Because Gu Qingjiu completely ignored her and simply strode off ahead.
She had zero intention of listening to her crap.
Xie Ya’s face twisted in fury.
Gu Qingjiu rolled her eyes as she left.
She felt that it was no big deal that she wasn’t selected into the advanced training camp first, and there was another chance next month, anyway. With that, she still had a chance. But she couldn’t stay on and continue watching Xie Ya act like a villainess intoxicated by success.
In the afternoon, Xie Ya couldn’t hold herself back from telling everyone the pleasant news.
Hence, during training, nearly everyone found out that Xie Ya was going to the advanced training camp—to go over to the military zone side.
Many new recruits were dumbfounded.
Because they had no idea that other than the new recruits’ training camp, an advanced training camp also existed.
Although most people felt that it was perfectly natural for the military to select Xie Ya, there were some others who didn’t share the same thinking.
Xie Ya and her group, of course, spread the news of Gu Qingjiu not making the cut.
But most people didn’t agree with the smug way she was acting.
Because humans are selfish.
Everyone started at the same starting line. But now they discovered there was a different shortcut, and that someone had taken that path before they had a chance to. That by itself was no big deal, but it was truly an eyesore to see her flaunt about it.
Although Xie Ya said nothing on the surface, people could see her lips curling up in a gleeful manner when Feng Meiyun and the gang went around flaunting it.
That made them feel uncomfortable.
Why did most of the new recruits have no idea of the advanced training camp?
That was because the selection was mostly discretely carried out, and it wasn’t publicized.
Dizzy with success, Xie Ya and the group gradually upset the peaceful harmony in the new recruits’ team.
“I don’t know what they’re gloating over. They even mocked Gu Qingjiu for not being selected. I feel that even if it was Gu Qingjiu who got selected, she wouldn’t behave like them!”
“It’s not like you don’t know Feng Meiyun and the gang, they like to gossip behind people’s backs. Just think about how often she badmouths Gu Qingjiu to us! They keep accusing Gu Qingjiu of pretending to be noble. I now feel that Xie Ya is even more pretentious than Gu Qingjiu!”
Gu Qingjiu heard them secretly discussing this matter halfway through the training when she went to the washroom.
