Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1096: Chapter 647: Night Visit/Recruitment_3

"Hey!" Zhu Hongyu responded briskly as she shook Luo Ye’s hand, eyebrows arching with a smile, "You must be wondering why I’m so eager to befriend you, right?"

Luo Ye smiled without answering; she knew that claiming not to be the least bit perplexed would be unbelievable to the other party.

"Let me be honest with you, Hang Menglin is my friend, and she speaks highly of you. Of course, I also know that we’re on the same level.

So, my interest in bringing you to our unit has a purpose. Now, after hearing my explanation, do you find me a bit annoying?"

"Not at all." Luo Ye laughed genuinely. She had thought that unusual behavior often implied a hidden agenda, but she didn’t dislike Zhu Hongyu at all, quite the opposite, she found her rather likable.

Zhu Hongyu blinked: "Do you know why I’m telling you this?"

Luo Ye nodded: "Indeed, I was somewhat puzzled because, based on your previous conversation, you clearly intended to keep this from me."

Zhu Hongyu took a sip of water and looked earnestly at Luo Ye: "I know that those like you, who join special teams like Fierce Tiger or Team A early, have privileges and brains. Especially Fierce Tiger; without brains, you can’t get in, even with skills.

But your student team members can’t stay in such special units forever. Broadly speaking, you’re considered highly nurtured talents by the nation.

Your future should lie in becoming renowned commanders. However, to be selected, one must come out of the wash-and-rinse process; it’s not certain that every team member will qualify as a commander.

This predicates that for graduation internships, you’ll go into the force like ordinary cadets. From what I know, you have a good relationship with Master Jiang from Division A, so our Division B wanting to recruit you is quite challenging.

The bait I can use is the proposal to establish a Female Special Forces Team in our Division B, which is genuine empowerment structure, and I think it might have a little temptation for you.

Initially, I planned to keep you in the dark, pretending not to know you, while trying all ways to pull you closer, striving for a chance to entice you into our Division B.

But just now, I suddenly felt silly. Given your intelligence, someone like me who’s a bit rough couldn’t possibly fool you; it’s better to reveal the real situation and let you choose yourself.

Joining Division A, it’s familiar territory, but the challenges may be fewer; going to Division B, there may be more difficulties, yet the personal growth aspect isn’t comparable to Division A. I believe Major Luo can make the right choice."

Luo Ye playfully smiled: "Sister Zhu, if you insist on calling yourself a bit rough, then no one in this world could dare call themselves cunning."

"I like hearing that." Zhu Hongyu laughed, "The less people like me have in our heads, the more we enjoy flattering words like that."

"The emptier one’s mind, the more they fear others saying it’s empty. Conversely, by insisting their minds aren’t loaded, someone like Sister Zhu instead shows they’ve plenty of cleverness."

Zhu Hongyu laughed: "Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I admit, if I truly had nothing in my head, I wouldn’t have gotten this far. Just like Mr. Feng, everyone sees his madness, but if it weren’t strategic madness, could he have achieved what he has today?

Even if this time he’s sacrificing for beauty, it’s not necessarily wrong. At least the beauty actively seeks him now; without his fulfillment, the beauty wouldn’t come, right?"

Luo Ye blushed, feeling embarrassed at being called a beauty directly. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn’t help but feel shy, thus lightly slapping the other: "Sister Zhu, if you keep talking like this, I won’t be pleased."

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. I want to know, when can you give me a definite answer?" Seeing Luo Ye furrow her eyebrows, Zhu Hongyu hurriedly explained, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m not purposely rushing you, but I truly can’t wait too long.

Our Female Special Forces Team is officially set for establishment in the spring after next year; the preparations will start next fall. Before that, I must finalize my deputy, and many people are eyeing this position.

So, I need to be certain before striving; otherwise, if I aim for it, but you don’t come in the end, wouldn’t I be displeasing people without gaining favor?"

"Thank you for the favor, Sister Zhu, I need some time to consider." After all, it’s a significant decision, and Luo Ye couldn’t immediately respond to her.
