Chapter 302 - Speaking For Qin Huai

“Talking about this, we still have to give credit to Old Qin.”

Xiong Xuejian suddenly chuckled from the side as he added.

Gu Qingjiu’s expression darkened slightly. Nian Chusheng looked at Gu Qingjiu’s expression before turning to look at Xiong Xuejian.

As if thinking of something, he made a sound. “Oh?”

Xiong Xuejian said, “Old Qin’s punishment was definitely uncalled for, but if he did not do this, I believe that we wouldn’t find out about Gu Qingjiu’s talent this quickly.”

From that, Gu Qingjiu could tell that Instructor Xiong was partial to her.

But after knowing her results, he suddenly spoke for Qin Huai.

She wondered what he meant by doing this.

“It wasn’t just uncalled for.”

Nian Chusheng coldly laughed. He turned to look back to see that Gu Qingjiu’s expression had already changed back to normal. “Gu Qingjiu, although this was your instructor’s orders, I wouldn’t cover for anyone. When the results of the test are out on Monday, I will get him to apologize.”

It startled Gu Qingjiu, but she was able to calmly reply, “Commanding Officer, it’s not a big thing.”

She didn’t reject his suggestion nor did she accept it.

Her attitude was not overly humble or stubborn.

Nian Chusheng admired this student even more.

He couldn’t see arrogance from her and there was a sort of calmness in her which was different from others.

Her aura itself was unique.

And she had only entered the army for half a year.

There were recruits who were not as polished as her even after a few years of staying.

What Qin Huai did was uncalled for, but he was still an instructor after all.

His reasoning was still acceptable so Nian Chusheng allowed the test on Monday to take place.

But if Gu Qingjiu passed, he would get Qin Huai to apologize in private.

It was a huge compromise.

In a camp, withholding apologies, if one met with an instructor who was sour, as long as it wasn’t against the rules, he could demand anything from you.

Apologize?

Dream on!

And Qin Huai’s background was not simple.

It was Gu Qingjiu’s own capabilities that would force him to apologize.

Gu Qingjiu’s answer was neither humble nor arrogant, showing that she had the fundamental demeanor which she should have—one which was not weak but not domineering as well.

It gave people a better impression of her.

Just by looking at the satisfaction in Nian Chusheng’s eyes, she knew her answer was correct.

Xiong Xuejian was satisfied with her words from the side. This was for the best to prevent accidents from happening that may cause grievances between the two.

One was a once in a decade talent while the other was an instructor with a strong background. For them to hold grudges with each other right after they entered school spelled bad things.

“Okay, that’s all I have. I just asked you here so that I can take a look. Continue with your regular training for now. I know that the chief management department gave you the order to follow your specialization so pay more attention to that. Once you’re good with the other aspects, I will arrange for you to train your shooting. The talent you have for shooting shouldn’t hinder your other training. That’s all, I won’t hold you back. You may go.”

Commanding Officer Nian Chusheng’s words were pretty good. None of his orders felt out of place for Gu Qingjiu.

After affirming, she had prepared to leave when she heard Nian Chusheng meaningfully say, “But in school, if you can remain on a low profile, do so.”

It startled Gu Qingjiu, and she nodded before leaving.

When Gu Qingjiu left, Nian Chusheng turned towards Xiong Xuejian. “What’s your purpose of speaking for that brat Qin Huai?”
