Since Chu Lian and Gu Qian didn’t understand her, they felt that she wasn’t acting nice.
But Gu Qingjiu said it was alright. Hence, the three of them went to the canteen together.
Their friendship progressed very rapidly.
With no one playing any tricks, Gu Qingjiu began to build a relationship with Gu Qian and Chu Lian.
Chu Lian and Gu Qian felt that their new hostel mates were very pretty.
But there seemed to be a huge contrast in their personalities.
If one were to simply judge by looks, Qi Xiaoran actually looked like the more bubbly and cheerful one. Whereas Gu Qingjiu looked like the arrogant and cold one.
Who knew it was the complete opposite?
However, when they spoke with Gu Qingjiu, they didn’t see Gu Qingjiu show any great fluctuation in emotion.
Such as laughing out loud.
She would always maintain a calm smile on her face. Although you can’t call her cold, she was not exactly a warmhearted person either.
There was a calm and steady aura in her eyes, giving off the impression of wisdom.
Apart from this, Gu Qian and Chu Lian had a pretty good first impression of Gu Qingjiu.
They were getting along fine, but who knew that the next day Gu Qingjiu would run into a problem?
But it was through no fault of hers.
Most military schools were managed by the four major departments—a chief systems department, chief management department, chief logistics department, and a chief commanding department. Also, there were fixed troops.
These four departments were also where the students might possibly end up upon graduation, and they could also choose between the army and the navy.
The chief management department was in charge of daily communication with the students as well.
For instance, the fact that Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran didn’t have to report for class for their specialization in the first week, and were told to do some self-learning on related knowledge—that was an order by the chief management department.
Since Gu Qingjiu was busy catching up on her course, she didn’t go look for the Chief Instructor or find out any news about him.
However, on the second day, halfway through her lessons Gu Qian suddenly came back to the hostel to look for her and Qi Xiaoran. She had a somewhat awful expression on her face. “Qingjiu, there’s trouble. When I attended the shooting practice with your coursemate, your commanding officer asked me to come and look for you. He wanted me to bring you to him…”
Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran gazed at each other. But one had no choice but to obey military order. Hence, Gu Qingjiu set aside what she was doing and went to see the commanding officer.
He Niancheng was the Chief Instructor of one entire level, whereas a commanding officer was the chief commanding officer of a specialization.
Something like a dean of a faculty in a university.
Since Gu Qian only asked to see Gu Qingjiu alone, that meant that the person who asked to see her was the dean of the computer science specialization.
Qi Xiaoran looked at Gu Qingjiu’s back view, and she hesitated a little before following her.
Gu Qian brought Gu Qingjiu to the shooting practice set up for several classes in the computer science specialization.
Perhaps it was a coincidence.
The commanding officer in the computer science specialization was rather young, and he seemed to be in his twenties to early thirties. To be able to become a commanding officer of specialization at such a young age, his background was perhaps pretty impressive.
Although Gu Qingjiu had never seen him in person before, she was given information about her commanding officer prior to this. Hence, she quickly recognized him.
In the large indoor shooting range, there were at least several hundreds of people in their military university uniform, and everyone was looking at Gu Qingjiu.
Under their gaze, those who got stressed easily would probably feel very nervous.
But Gu Qingjiu could still keep her cool.
She walked forward and saluted the commanding officer. “New recruit Gu Qingjiu, is here to report!”
When that commanding officer saw Gu Qingjiu, there was a stern gaze in his eyes as he said in an angry voice that was incompatible with his face—
“Report, you’re reporting here now? Report what? Why didn’t you report to your commanding officer first thing after entering school? Why did you come to military school?”
