The three of them entered Tang Ruidong’s office. It was quite busy inside. A line of captains stood there.
Shen Jiayi quickly looked down at her shoes.
Gu Yan greeted the crowd with a loud voice. Guo Rou accompanied her. She then patted her chest thereafter, as though she was frightened. “This group is quite intimidating.”
Tang Ruidong smiled helplessly. “I have watched you grow up. I have never really seen you scared by something.”
Jiang Yuan chimed in, “I think only Comrade Shen Jiayi is startled by you guys. Sigh, I shouldn’t have met her with all of you here.”
She approached Shen Jiayi and beamed. “Comrade Shen Jiayi, let’s go out and talk by ourselves?”
Li Haili nodded and encouraged, “Jiayi, Captain Jiang is the head of the Arts Department. She wants to talk to you about your singing talent. Go ahead.”
Shen Jiayi felt astonished. She nodded and clutched her sleeve nervously.
When she left the room with Jiang Yuan, she took a sneak peek at Gu Yan. The latter gave her a reassuring smile.
Now, only Tang Ruidong, Li Haili, and … Lu Ye remained in the office.
Ever since Gu Yan first came in, Lu Ye’s black gem-like eyes fell upon her. It didn’t stray away, not even a little bit.
Even without words, him watching her intently still made her blush. Luckily, she could hold her ground without losing her composure.
Tang Ruidong remarked, “You’re Comrade Gu Yan, right? Not bad. You’re still young, but you already have remarkable marksmanship. You’re quite bold too. I think you’re much bolder than Guo Rou. You weren’t unnerved by us at all.”
Guo Rou pouted her lips.
Just now, Gu Yan declared she was timid and easily scared off.
Gu Yan cheerfully praised, “The leaders here are all so friendly. Why would I be frightened? Moreover, I didn’t commit any mistakes. Of course, I’m not worried.
Li Haili smiled. “You, girl, have a good sense of how things should be done. It is quite a feat. Do you know your results for the shooting competition this time?”
Gu Yan shook her head.
Guo Rou’s eyes lit up, and she asked, “Captain, how are our individual results?”
After the end of the match, only their combined results were announced.
She was quite hopeful since she performed beyond her abilities this time.
Li Haili nodded and then looked at Tang Ruidong.
Tang Ruidong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Guo Rou. “Here, have a look at it yourselves.”
Guo Rou desperately grabbed it over and looked at the last row of results. Guo Rou shot two rounds of 10s, another two rounds of 8s while the rest were 9s.
And Gu Yan’s results were… ten rounds of 10s.
“Oh my god! Gu Yan, you’re too amazing. I admire you so much! All of your shots hit tens without a miss!” Guo Rou almost jumped up. She handed the results to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan expected this already. For her, it was nothing to be proud of.
However, Captain Lu, who pretended to drink tea, grinned happily.
‘He is proud!’
At this moment, Tang Ruidong added, “Comrade Gu Yan, I heard you are planning to pursue medicine in the First Empire Academy. Is that correct?”
