“No,” Yu Xiheng said indifferently, “The people at the branch are too mixed, hard to look after. No one is perfect, it’s inevitable to lack a comprehensive strategy. I understand, but what I want is the right attitude.”
“Please rest assured, Mr. Yu,” Roland asserted, “we will thoroughly investigate the entire matter. We won’t cover for her just because she’s from T18.”
Yu Xiheng hummed, his tone neither high nor low, “It had better be so.”
He didn’t give the other party a chance to speak further, hanging up the phone.
Yu Xiheng turned his head, “Is Si Fuqing still at Xia University?”
“Yes,” Feng San replied, “A teacher from Xia University was looking for her.”
Yu Xiheng closed his eyes, “Hmm, when she’s done, I’ll go pick her up.”
He never hid his protectiveness of her.
His people, he naturally had to protect.
Feng San nodded and sent a message to Yuejian.
After knowing that Yuejian was from T18, Feng San always felt a bit intimidated, being very careful.
When Yuejian received the message, he also received a call from Roland.
“Chief!” Roland said with a gloomy face, “When are you coming back? I can’t stand it another day. Otherwise, let the chief come; I really can’t withstand the pressure from ZERO.”
“High-rank to high-rank, I’m just a small fry.”
Yuejian raised an eyebrow, speaking unhurriedly, “Balder, don’t sell yourself short, I believe you can hold down the fort. Didn’t you do well this time?”
“I can’t hold on anymore!” Roland cried out as if spitting blood, “And, chief, I’m not Balder, I’m Roland. We don’t look anything alike!”
Roland was starting to freak out.
He didn’t have a common face, so why couldn’t the chief remember him?
Roland was deeply saddened.
“Ah, sorry,” Yuejian commented, “actually, a name is just a code, you don’t have to mind it so much. If you like, I can have them call you ‘Witch of the Night.'”
Roland: “…”
That wouldn’t be necessary.
“Chief, when is Margaret coming back?” Roland couldn’t help asking, “I can cover her Coke for a year!”
He couldn’t bear this high-pressure environment for a second longer.
Yuejian raised an eyebrow again, “If you’re lucky, look up at the mall ceiling; you should see her very soon.”
Roland: “???”
He was left confused after the call was disconnected, still not clear on how soon “very soon” was.

Meanwhile, at Xia University,
Professor Li had visited the General Sports Association and, retrieving several permits documents, happily rushed back.
After conveying his intentions to Si Fuqing, he was met with refusal.
“Student Si, I’m serious,” Professor Li got anxious, “With your level, you can definitely take part in the boxing event, not to mention judo and karate.”
Si Fuqing contemplated for a moment, “But I haven’t practiced these sports, I’ve only played tennis.”
She had to admit that she was tempted when she heard about the huge prize money from the International Olympic Games.
Professor Li’s eyes lit up, “Tennis is fine too, then play a game with me.”
Tennis was just one of the sports courses at Xia University, and he knew how to play it too.
Si Fuqing nodded, “Okay.”
Professor Li promptly had someone borrow equipment from the equipment room and handed Si Fuqing a tennis racket.
“Come on, Student Si,” Professor Li stood ready on the court, “let loose and play, don’t be nervous.”
Five minutes later—
Professor Li stood motionless, staring at the racket in his hand that now had a hole, and fell into a prolonged silence.
“Professor Li, I’m so sorry,” Si Fuqing pressed her palms together in apology, “I haven’t played in a long time and didn’t control my strength. I’ve got the feel of it now; let’s go again.”
“No, no, no!” Professor Li urgently interrupted, “That’s enough, more than enough.”
If they continued, he was afraid his arm would break on the spot.
Professor Li took a deep breath, “I’m sorry, Student Si, I’ve misjudged. You can join the tennis team, you play so well.”
“Good?” Si Fuqing was genuinely surprised, “Impossible, I’m really bad, universally acknowledged.”
Professor Li: “…?”
“I learned tennis from someone,” Si Fuqing confided with a tinge of sadness, “After I finished learning, I played a game with him. He said I was too poor at it and should never play sports again, for it’s an embarrassing display.”
Professor Li was outraged, “Who! Who has no vision like that? Speak up, and I will make sure to reason with him! Isn’t this leading you astray?”
This was simply corrupting the youth!
Si Fuqing: “…”
Her senior brother.
“It’s okay. Today is just the first day; we have time ahead,” Professor Li didn’t press her further, “Student Si, please think it over, I’ll always be waiting for you!”
He was determined to show Professor Xu and Professor Chen what it meant to recruit aggressively.
He would succeed!

The next day.
Feng Zhaoyi was finally able to get out of bed. Despite the doctors’ advice, she went through with the discharge procedures and then took a taxi to Xia University.
The new students were still in military training.
Feng Zhaoyi spotted Si Fuqing at the center instantly; her expression darkened. Instead of heading straight for the field, she went to the principal’s office.
“Principal, I’ve always respected Xia University,” Feng Zhaoyi said calmly, “But with such things happening, I need Xia University to give me an attitude.”
“It’s either me or Si Fuqing at Xia University.”
Hearing this, the principal’s movement paused, and he spoke slowly, “If that’s the case, Ms. Feng, you may leave.”
Feng Zhaoyi’s expression changed, “Principal, why?!”
“What use are you to Xia University if you make it choose between you and Student Si?” The principal’s gaze was both cold and puzzled, “I would really like to know, what gives you the confidence to say something like that?”
Daydreaming, in broad daylight?
