Chapter 85: Fighting Over for Xu Cheng (1/2)
Originally, she was quite happy and very much anticipated the night she could spend accompanying Xu Cheng, but upon hearing that Xu Cheng liked someone else, she was quite upset.
No wonder he was so indifferent towards Ran Jing and her. So there was already someone in his heart.
Upon thinking of this, Shen Yao, who was in front of the mirror in the washroom, bitterly smiled. Earlier, she thought that maybe Xu Cheng was a good guy, but it wasn’t like she had to try very hard to court him since there were plenty of men better than him. In other words, Xu Cheng could be a nice boyfriend to have but not a must. However, after hearing that Xu Cheng had someone he liked, she began feeling quite anxious since she was very competitive in nature.
“It’s fine, I don’t like him that much anyways. If it’s not destined to be, then so be it.” At the mirror, she comforted herself.
– The next day –
Two military-grade Hummers arrived at the 5th Military Region. The license plates gave away that it was from Shangcheng, and the man inside was of high status. After showing the documents, the soldiers on gate duty immediately saluted and let them in.
The two Hummers drove directly into the base, stopping before the office of the head instructor and then began honking like no tomorrow.
The head instructor of the 5th Military Region (MR) got so annoyed that he almost threw a grenade at them. But then, when he saw who it was, he immediately pouted and said, “Oh look at who it is. What brings the honorable head instructor of the top dog league, the 8th Military Region, to our humble temple?”
The head instructor of the 8th MR: “Go in first, I want to talk to you about something.”
“Stop right there. Every f-ing year you bully us and suppress my team below the 50% mark, I didn’t even get back at you yet. If you have something to say, then let’s talk here. Don’t think that I will waste my tea leaves on you,” said the head instructor of the 5th MR.
“Come on, Bro,” the 8th MR head instructor said as he just walked into the office first.
The 5th MR’s head instructor went in as well and closed the door. Then, he sat down and demanded, “Talk.”
The 8th MR’s head instructor put Xu Cheng’s file on the table. “The 8th Military Region is taking this guy.”
The 5th MR’s head instructor saw the file and immediately glared back at him. “Didn’t I tell you already? This guy’s not up for sale!”
The 8th MR head instructor laughed, knowing that it was time for negotiation. He said, “What can you give him? Every year, you guys are swimming in the bottom half percent, when could he carry the rest of your team to the top? You give him to me, and I can guarantee that my team will get to the top 3 this year! Once he’s part of a team in the top 3, then he will have more opportunities to showcase his capabilities. Wouldn’t his future be brighter?”
“I think it’s fine.” Just then, a guy standing at the office’s front door said with a big smile. “You still have to take him to the military exercise competition. It’s still undecided what place they are going to get since it’s still down the road. But, I can give him the bright future right now.”
The two MRs’ head instructors both looked at the door, and it turned out to be the Shangcheng police HQ director.
“What’s happening today? Why are you both coming to my shabby temple to fight for a soldier?”
“Old friend, judging by Xu Cheng’s performance this time, I think it’s a bit of a waste letting him stay in your military region. Don’t you think his personality and power is more suited for fighting against criminals? I also think he’s having quite a lot of fun here in my police force,” the director smiled and said.
The head instructor of 5th MR snorted, “I’m not scared of him dealing with criminals, I just don’t want his straightforward manner and iron-blood temper to get ruined by the politics inside the police system. Don’t forget, I’m just sending him there for a temporary vacation. I still have a position reserved for him here, I didn’t let him retire yet.
