There was only a short message. Shi Man did not take much time to read it and understood it after a quick glance.

However, in this second, it was as if she had a huge handle on Zhang Rui. She was so angry that she laughed and criticized, “You still dare to mock my results? Look at what you’re doing now. You actually dared to secretly play with your phone in front of the leader. 1 think you haven’t finished university and don’t know the rules. You should obediently return to the military school and learn how to respect your seniors!”

“What? You dare to come to the army to be an instructor before graduating from the military academy?” Yue Ming’s mother, Xie Huai, interrupted in disbelief. “Leader, has this matter really been carefully considered? Shouldn’t you go through layers of screening before coming to the army to be an instructor? How can you let such a young child be an instructor?”

The leader was most afraid of being asked about this matter. He glared at Zhang Rui and said with a headache, “Instructor Shi does have the ability to take on this position. There’s no doubt about this. Moreover, her strength is personally recognized by Chief Lu.”

As expected, Xie Huai calmed down after Lu Jun was used as a shield. However, her eyes were still filled with dissatisfaction. “Leader, Instructor Shi is capable, but that doesn’t mean that she’s mature enough. In my opinion, such a bet is simply nonsense. It can’t be valid!”

“That’s right. Shi Man is simply fooling around. She’s even openly pitting men against women in the army. Leader, please deal with this matter seriously. Otherwise, I’m afraid everyone in the army will be provoked because of her!” Zhang Rui argued with Xie Huai.

Their sharp voices echoed in the office.

Seeing that the leader’s attitude was not firm enough, Yue Lin, who had been silent all this while, muttered to himself and his expression changed drastically. “Shi Man, I’ve heard about you and the Lu family. I want to remind you that don’t think that you can rest easy just because you have the Lu family backing you. My Yue family has been in the army for generations. It’s not something you can touch easily. If you take a step back, 1’11 pretend that nothing happened, but if you don’t listen…”

“You should know the consequences.”

Yue Lin’s voice was low and magnetic, sounding extremely oppressive.

He had always been a man of his word at home. Even his wife did not dare to disobey his decision. It was more than enough to shock a little girl.

However, what he did not know was that Shi Man would only be colder than him if he acted dignified and cold.

“Mr. Yue, I think you’ve misunderstood.” Shi Man’s calm voice suddenly broke the oppressive atmosphere.

Yue Lin frowned in confusion.

Shi Man said slowly, “I’m not targeting Yue Ming just because I feel that I have someone backing me. I’m just doing my duty as an instructor and teaching him the principles that he should understand at his age. In addition, you just said that the Yue family has been in the army for generations. You should understand that since they’ve entered the army, regardless of gender, they should be treated equally.”

“What are you trying to say?” Yue Lin narrowed his eyes in confusion, his sharp gaze landing on her.

Shi Man said without changing her expression, “Your son has a very serious discriminatory mentality towards women. Just now, Instructor Zhang said that I deliberately provoked the opposite sex, but in fact, it was Yue Ming who disrespected women first. This is not the first or second time this has happened in the army. As his instructor, I have the duty to correct his wrong perception.”

“Nonsense! How can my son disrespect women? My son is the most filial to me. Why are you so evil at such a young age? How dare you slander my son!”

When it came to Yue Ming’s faults, Xie Huai was the first to retort unhappily.

Even though she had no idea what had happened, she felt that her son had done the right thing.

Such an outstanding son from her family must be well-rounded. Shi Man was just jealous of her son’s talent and wanted to establish her prestige when she took over the position. That was why she attacked her son!

Everyone in the office was criticizing Shi Man. The leader advised with a difficult expression, “Madam Xie, don’t say that. Instructor Shi is indeed very capable. Even if this matter is not done appropriately, we can’t deny her results. This time, the female soldier Cheng Luo who was trained by her has made considerable progress in the assessment.”

“Yes, it’s that Cheng Luo!” Xie Huai refused to give up. “She must have joined forces with Man to take a cheap shot. 0then-vase, how could my son lose to a woman? My son was born to be a soldier. How could he be surpassed by a woman in just half a month?”

When she said this, it was clear that Xie Huai was very proud of her son.

Shi Man revealed an knowing expression and sneered. “Madam Xie, right?

When you say this, have you forgotten that you’re also a woman? Even if you’re Yue Ming’s mother, in his eyes, you’re just a woman who’s destined to lose to a man. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll look down on you in the future?”

“My son won’t look down on me. My son is the most filial!” Xie Huai said nonchalantly. “Stop trying to sow discord here. Is there anything wrong with what I said? Women are born weak. They should stay at home and take care of their husbands and children.. Do they really think they can go to the battlefield?”
