Luckily, Cao Chuanguang had not ‘interviewed’ Zhao Youyue within her company’s sights[1]. If not students would have been treated to a huge scene. Enough rumors were going about already, as things were.

Han Leng had spoiled his plans. Cao Chuanguang chose to retreat for now, but there was no way that he would just give up like that. His determination should never be underestimated…

After Cao Chuanguang left, Han Leng finally let out a sigh. He whined to Zhao Youyue, “Lady Zhao, wasn’t it too much for you to cheat him like that?”

Zhao Youyue looked as if she did not see any ‘cheats’ happening. She laughed, “What I said was all the truth. I will treat you to dinner, Great Scholar Han.”

It was the same old commanding tone. It was as if her invitation for dinner was the reward for his excellent performance. Like how Zhao Youyue discovered Su Li’s usefulness in a particular area, she too discovered Han Leng’s usefulness.

“No, thank you. It would be a waste of time to eat with someone like you. Who knows, I might be dragged along for a shopping spree after that. I would die of exhaustion,” Han Leng rejected decisively.

That was a lie. He was very comfortable being Lady Zhao’s servant whenever he was with her. He was not afraid of being exhausted. Rather, he was happy to serve her. However, he had heard that Lady Zhao had her own plans already, and it was with some beautiful chick. He should be self-conscious about himself and should not disturb her plans…

Knowing Zhao Youyue, if she truly wanted him to come over for dinner, she might as well issue an imperial edict.

“Alright, next time then. I will call Bai Yunshan first,” Zhao Youyue transitioned smoothly.

Zhao Youyue was comfortable around Han Leng, only because she was certain that he did not like her at all – and that he had no intentions of being eagerly attentive around her. This even led to Zhao Youyue forgetting Han Leng’s gender sometimes. She would treat him as a female friend, like Bai Yunshan.

After hearing the name ‘Bai Yunshan,’ Han Leng said in his heart, “as expected.” The same, few beautiful girls who were in Lady Zhao’s inner circle.

After that, Zhao Youyue returned to her own company and continued the military training. She retained a look of diligence. No one could see any traces of her being irritated or lazy. Instructor Ma saw this, and increased his evaluation of her behavior even more. This girl was worthy of the position – ‘military training’s pacemaker.’

That night, Zhao Youyue spent quality time with Bai Yunshan. They had dinner at the business district close to Bai Yunshan’s university. It would be convenient, for she needed to return to her dorm promptly. Bai Yunshan rejected Zhao Youyue’s idea of sleeping over at her place. That would be an awkward occasion of meeting Zhao Youyue’s parents… That would not be right. As a student who abided by the school rules, she would never bypass curfews and sleep outside. The Student Council Body would inspect the dorms once in a while. If they found out that someone had stayed overnight outside the dorm, they would slam demerit points on you! There would be no hope of getting the ‘military training pacemaker’ position.

Bai Yunshan was a very consistent student and was even more upright as a person. She was not like Zhao Youyue, the two-faced bum. She may have started off low-key, but grew increasingly arrogant and headstrong. At that time, she felt that she had farmed enough favorability points from others and was the perfect student. It gave her the right to do as she pleased…

Naturally, Zhao Youyue chose to ridicule her senior, Cao Chuanguang, as they ate. Then, she lamented about guys in university being so thirsty. She also gossiped excitedly, inquiring if Bai Yunshan had set her eyes on any particular males.

Bai Yunshan refused decisively. She was not in the mood to get into a relationship with someone. A university was an educational establishment. At the same time, she did not see any point in love.

“Being in a relationship is just like finding someone to eat with, go shopping together or watch a movie with. I have you already, why should I find someone else?” Bai Yunshan analyzed rationally.
