Chapter 176: The Person Who Came to Find He Niancheng
As per He Niancheng’s orders, Gu Qingjiu fully conveyed his words to Huo Yingcheng.
Huo Yingcheng was angry at Gu Qingjiu for selling him out, and he furiously stated in the call that he would come down to teach her a lesson.
Gu Qingjiu hung up the call and stretched forward to look at He Niancheng who was inside the office.
Without him saying anything, Gu Qingjiu didn’t dare to leave.
As if sensing Gu Qingjiu’s furtive glances at him, without looking up He Niancheng said, “Come inside!”
Gu Qingjiu immediately straightened her back and walked in.
When she was right in front of He Niancheng, she cleared her throat. “Chief Instructor, I’ve accomplished the task you gave me. Commander Huo said that he would be here within three minutes.”
He Niancheng did not reply.
And that made Gu Qingjiu become anxious.
Even if he was an angel in her mind, this indifferent and cold expression directed at her was still very scary!
Suddenly, he took out a form from a stack of papers on his table.
“For the advanced training camp, they’ve chosen someone else first.”
He placed the form in front of Gu Qingjiu, startling her.
She looked at it and realized it was Xie Ya’s application form.
At the bottom of her form was a row of signatures by the leaders, one of them being Chen Haoyang’s recommendation of the candidate.
This decision was within Gu Qingjiu’s expectations.
She had already known beforehand that it wasn’t her they’d choose.
If they ranked it according to their results, Xie Ya performed better. She was the champion in both dueling matches and that was an undeniable fact.
She just didn’t expect He Niancheng to show her the results.
“You should have already guessed it.”
As He Niancheng said that Gu Qingjiu nodded. She replied, “Yes, I do. Her results were better than mine, so it was natural for her to enter first.”
“There’s still a chance next month.”
A simple sentence like that surprised Gu Qingjiu.
Hearing it, it seemed as if he was asking her to not take the result to heart.
She remembered what He Niancheng said a while ago. If she wasn’t as strong as the rest, then she had to work harder.
It was carved in her memories.
But Gu Qingjiu did not dare say it.
At that moment, Huo Yingcheng arrived.
He was probably in a rush since he couldn’t even tidy his hair, looking as if he’d just woken up.
That threat which he had promised diminished instantly upon entering He Niancheng’s office.
But in order to keep his image in front of Gu Qingjiu, he strengthened his resolve. Under He Niancheng’s cold gaze, he strode forward with large steps.
Seeing Huo Yingcheng, Gu Qingjiu held back her laughter. She greeted, “Good afternoon, Commander Huo!”
Huo Yingcheng nodded back. “Okay...”
And his line of focus changed to the parcel beside He Niancheng’s desk.
When He Niancheng sensed his gaze on him, he asked, “What did you buy?”
Huo Yingcheng sent him a look. He originally wanted to retort but gave in. He replied guiltily, “I didn’t buy... Imperial... The subordinates sent it to me.”
Because Gu Qingjiu was present, the way Huo Yingcheng spoke sounded vague.
He Niancheng swept a glance at Gu Qingjiu and said, “You can go back first.”
“Okay, Chief Instructor.”
Gu Qingjiu was happy to go back. She stole a glance at Huo Yingcheng and swiftly left.
Once she stepped out of the office, Gu Qingjiu could feel the air becoming fresher. The amount of threat He Niancheng posed was indescribable.
But the moment she stepped out, she saw a beautiful lady with wide doe-like eyes walking towards her. She stopped Gu Qingjiu. “Is Chief Instructor He Niancheng here?”
