“Alright, a bigshot will ask you about some stuff in a bit. All you need to do is answer him. Accordingly, there’s no need to be afraid. It’s just a normal questioning.” As soon as they were about to enter the office building, Xia Jinyuan grabbed onto Ye Jian’s hand. He held it tight but not too tight. “If you do feel nervous, look at me. I’ll be sitting in front of you.”
There was a hint of sweat in her palms. Xia Jinyuan mistook that as her being nervous when Ye Jian was internally nervous because of his gentle smile.
Facing him, compared to facing against a leader, it somehow made her feel even more nervous.
Sitting inside the meeting room, Ye Jian answered each question the Army’s Lieutenant General had posed. He was indeed a bigshot, but she wasn’t nervous even in the slightest.
“Little lass, you’re quite the gutsy one. The military needs lasses who are as courageous as you.” The Army Lieutenant General was one of the accompanying leaders. He was dressed in military uniform, the golden stars on his shoulder emanated an army might that cannot be stared into. Inside the meeting room, besides the impressive display of military strength, there were no other fluctuations.
The moment Ye Jian entered the meeting room, she was immediately facing up against several leaders of the military area. She instantly corrected her posture. She was no longer a student; instead, she was a soldier!
“When the Yunnan Province Military Area nominated you for this mission, every one of us was quite surprised. From the picture they had sent us, you were wearing a school uniform. You had good looking features; you seemed so lovable and did not seem aggressive. We would never have thought that you were a soldier that Chen Dongfeng had nurtured.”
“A soldier that was trained by a world-class sniper had the smell of a soldier. Looking at her, I felt comfortable and at ease!”
The Army Lieutenant General was more satisfied by Ye Jian compared to the picture he had seen before. After asking in detail about what her current training in the military was like and whether or not she had any good suggestions, he even made an essential inquiry into where Ye Jian would go to in the future.
Ye Jian answered everything slowly and steadily. She finished every sentence in full, without pulling any stops in between. She responded to every question with a pleasant voice and was not bothered by stage fright.
Xia Jinyuan, who was sitting across from her, wore a cold expression. However, he was already smiling in his heart. The occasional glance at Ye Jian contained admiration without any concealment. He wanted to act tender towards her, but there were three leaders here, after all. The little fox had just arrived not long ago, so it was better if he did not stir up trouble.
Since he had restrained his tenderness, then there was no need to hide his admiration. An Army Lieutenant General was currently receiving the sixteen/seventeen-year-old little fox. There were also three other Colonels here, and these people were bigshots that could shake the military with just a command.
Noticing that his little fox wasn’t afraid and managed to keep her composure, the amount of willpower she carried wasn’t something that everyone has.
Since he could admire her so out in the open, then why must he hide it?
Although Ye Jian seemed calm on the surface, against that man’s gaze, it was burning through her like fire, causing her mouth to dry up. In the presence of a Lieutenant general and three colonels, he did not restrain himself!
…Ye Jian, whose head was currently hurting, started having thoughts of beating Xia Jinyuan up after the meeting had ended.
To beat him black and blue and see whether or not he still had the face to hover around in front of her all the time!
“There are still two more hours until 0430. Colonel, let Student Ye look through the material in your hands.” The Army’s Lieutenant General picked up the military hat on top of the meeting room and smiled at Ye Jian: “This colonel is also one of the accompanying staff members. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask him.”
Finally, the Army’s Lieutenant General ended his line of questioning. Before leaving, he did not forget to encourage Ye Jian, “You will surpass us in the future, work hard!”
