The bumpy ride from the bus stop to where Xu Qigang lived took an entire hour. Sheng Ning felt like she was about to fall apart. Her delicate, beautiful face was as pale as paper.
Liu Chun was very pleased. He even stepped on the gas more vigorously. There was a goddess-like miss sitting in his car!
When they arrived at the gate of the Rescue Troop, he flashed a big smile at the sentry on duty.
“Park the car for an examination!”
“Roger!”
Liu Chun obediently parked the car. He was Xu Qigang’s assistant. He didn’t usually have to handle the shopping, but the cook who was responsible for shopping was currently sick, which was why Chief made him substitute.
The examination at the War Wolf Rescue Troop was very strict, and they were especially attentive to Liu Chen when they saw Sheng Ning’s unfamiliar face.
She knew this place was strictly managed, so she voluntarily got out of the car and thanked Liu Chun. “Thank you for the ride today, but I won’t go inside. Please ask Xu Qigang to come out for a bit.”
When the comrade on guard heard Chief’s name, his ears twitched. Although his eyes stared straight ahead, they twinkled with curiosity.
“All right! Wait here.” Liu Chun drove the car inside the gate and hurriedly ran inside.
“Chief, Chief…” Liu Chun’s voice was so loud he was basically screaming. It made all the people at the meeting burst into laughter.
Xu Qigang’s face was gloomy, and he looked very intimidating. The meeting had just ended. Zhou Hong stood up and announced they could disassemble. Then, he went out and pulled Liu Chun by the ear.
“Do you want to get fired? You’re being so reckless. No dinner for you tonight, and you have to run two kilometers.”
Liu Chun was so focused on the girl that he didn’t care about anything else. “Chief, girl, there’s a girl…” he blustered.
“What girl?” Zhou Hong was just about to leave but walked back when he heard this.
Liu Chun wiped away his sweat and said, “Chief, your girlfriend from your hometown is here to see you. Goodness, she’s so pretty!”
Zhou Hong’s eyes were beaming. “Really?”
“Instructor, she’s not here for you.”
“Of course not. I wouldn’t be happy if she were here for me.” Zhou Hong was a high-ranking official’s son. He used to be somewhat of a dandy before he joined Xu Qigang’s War Wolf Rescue Troop. After he joined, Xu Qigang put him through hell. After that, he finally felt deep respect for Xu Qigang. Zhou Hong was very intelligent and resourceful, but he also liked to worry about other people’s matters.
Before he left the military, Xu Qigang’s reputation as a devil incarnate was too well-known in his current district. Zhou Hong wanted to find Xu Qigang a girlfriend from another district, but during the competition at the beginning of the year, Xu Qigang beat up the heroes of the southern district so badly their mothers couldn’t even recognize them. Since then, his reputation as a devil incarnate was known by everyone. He was already twenty-nine, yet not a single girl ever dared to speak to him, which was why Zhou Hong was so worried. If Chief remained single, how could his subordinates ever ask for marriage leave?
“Who is it? How old is she? Is she pretty?” Zhou Hong asked.
“Holy crap! She’s incredibly beautiful. Hurry up, Chief! You can’t let a girl stand under the blazing sun.”
Even though Xu Qigang heard that someone from his hometown was here to see him, he continued to look indifferent. He bent over and carefully studied the sand table in the office, analyzing simulations in his mind over and over again.
Zhou Hong and Liu Chun both looked thrilled, but Xu Qigang seemed indifferent. He didn’t even pay much attention to their conversation.
Sheng Ning waited at the gate for an entire hour, but Xu Qigang still didn’t come. The blazing September sun made her feel somewhat dizzy, and her pink cheeks were flushed.
Someone couldn’t watch anymore and invited her inside. “Miss, do you want to come inside and sit?”
