Sharpshooter?
Gu Qingjiu’s lips curled up slightly at hearing someone call her that.
Who wouldn’t feel ecstatic if they heard someone shower them compliments or that people are in awe because of them?
Tang Yuyu lowered her voice, sounding excited. “They’re calling you a sharpshooter! You shot to fame in the military zone in the span of a morning!”
After all, she accomplished a highly impressive feat.
Gu Qingjiu felt joyful too, an emotion she rarely felt. She said to Tang Yuyu, “Low profile, low profile.”
Her words made the latter sputter with laughter.
…
At noon, in a military officer’s office.
“Major-General Mu, please sit. It’s such an honor to have you come to this insignificant training ground!”
The company commander of the Dayi Military First Battalion welcomed Mu Nanji in a respectful manner.
“Never mind those formalities. When is your deputy commander coming over?”
Mu Nanji waved a hand and sat down in the office. He was used to seeing such scenes all these years.
The company commander of the First Battalion, Zhou Jianguo, pulled a genial smile and said, “Soon. No need to be anxious, Major-General Mu.”
This Major-General Mu was a bigshot from the military zone in the capital.
Although he was a training instructor with not much real power, the fact that he managed to become a Major-General at such a young age was shocking enough.
Moreover, even without real power, he was considered an impressive character in this military zone.
Of course, there were suspicions of him having connections.
But to have connections were considered a capability in the military, to begin with. Moreover, the fact that this bigshot character behind this Major-General could help him start rising through the ranks in the capital, went to show that he had the backing of someone very influential.
Just a casual word from him and the entire Dayi military could be in big trouble.
Of course, he couldn’t understand why a Major-General from the capital would come to the Dayi military zone!
Moreover, he was just present there as an ordinary instructor for the advanced training camp.
Also, they could not reveal his real identity. How baffling!
“No need to address me as Major-General Mu. Just call me Comrade Mu in the future.”
Mu Nanji appeared rather affable and didn’t flaunt his identity and put on airs.
He narrowed his eyes and took a sip of the mineral water in the office. He asked, “Commander Zhou, is it? Let me ask you, what do you know about that Chief Instructor in the new recruits’ training camp?”
Zhou Jianguo paused in surprise at the mention of He Niancheng.
He suddenly recalled He Niancheng’s matters and said, “Oh, that Chief Instructor. I don’t know much about him, except that he was transferred here from the capital just like you.”
As He Niancheng was transferred to the new recruits’ training camp, Commander Zhou who hadn’t had much chance to interact with him naturally didn’t know much.
He said it as it is, and Mu Nanji didn’t reproach him or anything. He nodded. “Well, it’s understandable if you don’t know much about him.”
He then stroked his cheek with stubble growing in it, and seemingly deep in thought, he said, “I came for this Chief Instructor.”
Zhou Jianguo was shocked to hear this.
He knew that He Niancheng had quite an influential background, but for Mu Nanji to especially transfer here for his sake, it seemed like he was a pretty powerful character.
The quick-thinking Zhou Jianguo asked, “Major… Comrade Mu, do you wish to take a look at the new recruits’ training camp?”
Mu Nanji shook his head. “No, no need. Instead, I wish to have a discussion about that girl in my unit—Gu Qingjiu.”
Zhou Jianguo was aware of that incident, too. With regards to discovering a talented sharpshooter in the military zone, he viewed this matter with high importance as well. He thought for a moment, then slapped his hand against the table. “Aiyah, I remember it now. This Gu Qingjiu. I think she’s somewhat connected to the Chief Instructor of the new recruits’ training camp!”
Didn’t the two of them nab those human traffickers together the other time?
Somewhat connected?
Detecting gossip, Mu Nanji’s eyes lit up. “Commander Zhou, quickly tell me. What’s the connection between them?”
