Chapter 743: Chapter 446: Lei Yu
"Crazy Feng!" Luo Ye couldn’t help but mutter softly.
"What did you say?" Feng Tianzhi’s narrow eyes were filled with amusement, "Is Little Ye’er so bold, yet there are words you dare not say to my face?"
"Feng... Captain, do you have any other orders?" Just as Luo Ye was about to repeat "Crazy Feng," she caught sight of Zhao Qianqian walking over and hurriedly changed her words.
Feng Tianzhi grinned wickedly, "Yes, continue to keep me company in conversation."
The smile on Luo Ye’s lips froze. Ah, madman, can you be even crazier? Feng Qing’s shoulders trembled suspiciously...
Zhao Qianqian, brimming with a smile, handed over the report in her hands to Feng Tianzhi, "Captain Feng, the registration has ended, please take a look."
"Okay." Feng Tianzhi took it and said indifferently, "You’ve worked hard."
Zhao Qianqian waved her hands continuously, "Not at all, this little bit of work isn’t hard at all." Looking at Luo Ye and Feng Qing, "Hello, I’m Zhao Qianqian, we’ll be colleagues from now on. After we finish today, let’s go shopping together, alright?"
Luo Ye and Feng Qing exchanged a quiet glance. Where did Lin Tingtao find such a gem? She seems to be a bit out of touch with the situation.
"I’ll treat, and Liu Ailing will go too, how about it?" Zhao Qianqian added.
Luo Ye waved her hand, "No need, I have other things to do, another time."
"I’ve also made plans with someone, sorry." Feng Qing said as well.
"I see." Zhao Qianqian’s eyes revealed disappointment and she glanced at Feng Tianzhi covertly, "Captain, we’re going to work closely in the future. In order to build a rapport quickly, how about we all go to karaoke some day, okay?"
"Karaoke?" Feng Tianzhi thought for a moment, "Sure, if you can get everyone together, I’ll treat."
"But..." Zhao Qianqian hesitated and glanced at Luo Ye and Feng Qing, but didn’t continue.
"They don’t have to be included." Feng Tianzhi said.
"You said it." Zhao Qianqian snapped her fingers happily, "I’ll go round everyone up." As her voice fell, she was already gone.
Feng Qing hesitated for a moment, "Big brother, where did she come from?"
Feng Tianzhi rarely became serious, "It can’t be denied that children born into large families receive systematic training from a young age, and their skills are above those of ordinary families. At the same time, they also carry a touch of nobility, losing some approachability. This can make mission targets feel uncomfortable, so, first and foremost, we must learn to lower our stance. Zhao Qianqian was born into an ordinary family, skilled in singing and dancing from a young age, and a top student. Students like her are destined to be the favorites of teachers and parents. Therefore, although she is an ordinary person’s child, she is very confident. But, she doesn’t have the sort of nobility you possess. To put it bluntly, her role is to be the harmonizer."
Luo Ye nodded, "Understood."
Feng Qing expressed her doubts, "Aren’t the leaders afraid that after she stays in this circle for a long time and learns about everyone’s background, her mentality might change?"
"If she really changes, it only means she isn’t suitable for this team." Feng Tianzhi’s voice was devoid of any emotion.
Feng Qing nodded her head, "Got it, poor child."
Feng Tianzhi glared at her, "What’s there to pity? If a person’s nature turns bad after coming into contact with something beyond their understanding, then it shows they inherently possess the potential to go bad. Only through real tempering can one become truly valuable steel."
"Why does this sound like a lecture." Feng Qing muttered softly, and seeing Feng Tianzhi’s gaze turn towards her, she hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "I mean, what big brother is teaching is correct."
Luo Ye glanced at the time, "Captain Feng, is there nothing else to do after registration?"
"For now, nothing else. Our team will establish our main base in Sha City after the New Year, so let’s all adjust slowly when we get there." Feng Tianzhi waved his hand to Luo Ye, "I won’t hold you up, go find Ye Xuan."
"Goodbye." Luo Ye waved her hand and ran off as if escaping.
It was impossible to reason with Feng Tianzhi, he acted on whim, and his affectionate behavior, she believed, had been noticed by many team members, those gazes piercing her like knives, it was terribly uncomfortable.
Feng Qing hesitated a moment, "Big brother, I’ll be going too."
"Go ahead," Feng Tianzhi paused and then added, "Xiaoqing, when you have time, go back and spend time with Grandpa. No matter how your uncles and aunts are making a fuss, I hope when it comes to our time, it’s still one Feng Family."
Feng Qing’s steps faltered, she replied, "I... will do that."
Once Feng Qing’s figure had completely disappeared, a hint of melancholy rose in Feng Tianzhi’s eyes. If Feng Qing turned back and saw Feng Tianzhi now, she would certainly doubt her own eyes.
"Captain Feng, Hang Wen and Hang Wu said they won’t go." Zhao Qianqian came over with a downcast face, "The others agreed though."
"Then let’s wait for another time." Feng Tianzhi glanced at her, "You did well today. You take the lead on preparing the Sha City base after the New Year."
"Yes!" The gloom on Zhao Qianqian’s face was swept away, "I promise, I will complete the mission!"
"Mhm." Feng Tianzhi nodded and called out to the others, "To those participating in the selection, use the time before the New Year to improve yourselves. I hope everyone can achieve what they wish for. Dismissed."
Everyone looked at each other blankly, then in unison, they responded, "Yes."
This really took them some time to get used to. Military leaders are generally not verbose, but ones as terse as Feng Tianzhi were truly a rare find.
...
By now, the immense burden on Luo Ye’s heart had mostly lifted. The swift capture of the perpetrator behind the scenes and such a straightforward resolution were completely unexpected.
Her original worries never even had a chance to materialize, convincing her that fretting over issues in advance is less effective than moving forward with a level head.
Of course, it was still important to remain vigilant.
"Ha ha ha..."
Before reaching Director Lei’s office door, a hearty laugh could be heard. The corners of Luo Ye’s lips curled up in a smile, considering it a stroke of luck to work under such a leader.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Come in." Director Lei Dawei’s robust voice, still tinged with mirth, called out.
As Luo Ye pushed open the door, a woman in her mid-twenties, leaning against Director Lei Dawei and smilingly sizing her up. "Xiao Yu, this is Luo Ye." Director Lei Dawei said, then looked towards Luo Ye, "Little Luo Ye, this is my daughter, Lei Yu."
"Ah, Little Ye’er, you are indeed beautiful. Ye Xuan, that scoundrel, lucked out." Before Luo Ye could speak, Lei Yu had already enthusiastically embraced her and playfully blinked at Ye Xuan, "I’ve stolen Little Ye’er from you, feeling sour?"
Ye Xuan pretended not to hear and poured a glass of water, then said to Luo Ye, "Ye’er, come have a drink. We’ll head out soon."
"Stingy." Lei Yu pouted unhappily and turned to Director Lei, "Dad, look at him, he’s such a bully. I’ve just met Little Ye’er and haven’t even had enough time to admire her, and he’s already taking her away." She tightened her hug around Luo Ye, "Little Ye’er, stick with your sister and ignore that guy."
Luo Ye smiled awkwardly, "Sister Lei Yu, would you like a drink?"
"Are you going to pour it for me?" Lei Yu batted her eyelashes.
Not quite sure how to handle Lei Yu, Luo Ye could only agree softly, "Okay."
"Don’t pour it for her." Ye Xuan abruptly pulled Luo Ye to sit beside him, "She’s got hands."
"Oh ho, feeling protective of your wife?" Lei Yu giggled, leaning her head close to Ye Xuan’s face, staring at him, "Xiao Xuanxuan, want me to share some stories about your glorious childhood with Little Ye?"
Ye Xuan glanced at her indifferently, "Go ahead."
"That’s no fun." Lei Yu drew her head back, her eyes darting around before landing on Luo Ye, "Little Ye’er, tell your sister the truth, are you happy being with this chap?"
"Uh..." Confused, Luo Ye looked towards Ye Xuan, eyes seeking guidance.
"Just ignore her," Ye Xuan said.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, if you’re unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust..." Lei Yu chuckled as she scooted closer to Luo Ye, "Little Ye’er, let me give you some sincere advice. If you want an interesting life ahead, you should choose Feng Tianzhi. He’s definitely more romantic than this blockhead. This blockhead has been one since childhood. Let me tell you, back in elementary school, we were all at the same school, and we were about six or seven years old.
Can you imagine a six or seven-year-old who doesn’t like to play? Yet, this blockhead was so serious, always burying himself in books or working out. We even gave him a nickname—Old Man.
But Feng Tianzhi was different. He was a leader among the students, always organizing the fun stuff, like spring outings, flower viewing, and the like.
So, think about it, who would make life more interesting to marry? Life isn’t politics; there’s no need to be so grave, right?"
Luo Ye sneakily glanced at Director Lei and saw him smirking at Ye Xuan’s predicament, reveling in the chaos.
Ye Xuan glared at Lei Yu, "If you like Feng Tianzhi, then like him. Why drag our Ye’er into it?"
Lei Yu’s smile stiffened for a moment before she put on an act and coughed, "I like him, so what? Are you jealous? Hmph, there’s no use being jealous. Even if you are, it won’t make me like you."
"What I like is Ye’er, that’s well known..."
Feeling uncomfortable, Luo Ye scratched her head and interjected, "Shall we go then?"
"Director Lei, we’ll take our leave now. Please give me a call if you need anything." Ye Xuan stood up, bidding farewell to Director Lei.
Lei Yu grabbed Luo Ye’s arm, "Ye Xuan, you can leave if you want, but leave Little Ye’er behind."
Luo Ye quickly explained, "Sister Lei Yu, let’s get together another day. Great Grandpa is waiting at home."
"Little Ye’er, it’s our first time meeting, do you really have the heart to leave your sister behind just like that?" Lei Yu looked at Luo Ye with puppy-dog eyes, pleading.
Luo Ye felt a bit uneasy under Lei Yu’s gaze, unsure if she was being serious or if it was just her mischievous nature. It’s just their first encounter, after all; it wasn’t like they should be this inseparable, right?
