Chapter 114: Gaining A Military Merit

That statement evidently left He Niancheng speechless.

Nan Yingxuan stood up from a clutter of medicine bottles and smiled. “This little girl has a lot on her mind right now so her mind wanders more.”

Gu Qingjiu was startled when she heard Nan Yingxuan’s explanation. It sounded like he understood her. “Doctor Nan knows what I’m thinking about?”

Nan Yingxuan smiled. “I guess so.”

“Hey, what? What is this? Now I don’t even understand your conversation?”

Huo Yingcheng spluttered in surprise at the situation.

Gu Qingjiu felt like his statement had another meaning to it. Seeing the situation between the three people in front of her, she waved her arms in front of her in a hurry. “There’s no such thing. Commander Huo, weren’t you looking for me for something?”

With how fl.u.s.tered she was, it seemed as if she was afraid that Huo Yingcheng would misunderstand something.

But in actual fact, Huo Yingcheng was not implying or misunderstanding anything. Qingjiu’s reaction just made him want to tease her.

He always felt that Gu Qingjiu’s thoughts were profound.

“It’s not anything much. It’s about that incident where you and your Chief Instructor arrested the human traffickers. The higher-ups wanted to note it down as military merit. Don’t spread this news yet. Just take note of it. If anything happens in the future, you can make use of those merits to elevate your stance.”

Huo Yingcheng’s words sounded strange to himself, too.

After all, logically speaking, the military merit should be He Niancheng’s.

Gu Qingjiu only followed him around, but it was He Niancheng who had entirely settled the problem.

The key point was He Niancheng seemed to have become out-of-character all of a sudden. Just when they were talking about it, He Niancheng mentioned Gu Qingjiu’s name and said that she was a potential talent, suggesting that the army should properly nourish her.

The leader was someone intuitive as well. He gave Gu Qingjiu 3rd-grade military merit without thinking twice.

That was not too exaggerated nor considered too big of an accomplishment.

It was equivalent to a small a.s.surance for Gu Qingjiu to be in the army in the future.

Huo Yingcheng’s shock was normal. Withholding his good impression of Qingjiu, the main point was that he had never seen the Major-General say anything on behalf of others.

Doing that was like giving Gu Qingjiu a push forward, allowing the higher-ups to have an impression of her.

If she was indeed outstanding, Gu Qingjiu would definitely become a person they would focus their resources on in the future.

If his speculation was correct, Gu Qingjiu’s training result and progress data for the past month had probably reached the leader already.

Didn’t this entire affair feel bizarre?

If someone wanted to say that the Major-General liked Qingjiu, that was definitely not true. How could someone not smile at all when they mentioned the name of the person they liked?

More than anything, it only showed how the Major-General had already cla.s.sified Gu Qingjiu as his person now.

As expected, Gu Qingjiu was stunned to hear Huo Yingcheng’s words. “I didn’t do anything. I was just watching by the side…”

She was pretty honest!

He coughed. “They gave the military merit to you, so why do you have so many comments?”

Huo Yingcheng coughed intentionally.

Gu Qingjiu was flexible in her views as well so she understood in an instant. Even if this situation felt strange to her, she faced Huo Yingcheng and thanked him. “Thank you very much, Commander Huo!” But He Niancheng’s expression stiffened when he heard that.

He coughed again. “The person whom you should be thanking is not me but your Chief Instructor. He fought to get it for you.”

Fought, his a.s.s. The leader probably just couldn’t wait to kiss He Niancheng’s a.s.s.

But Gu Qingjiu did not understand. When she heard that it was the Chief Instructor who had helped, her eyes shone. “Thank you very much, Chief Instructor!”

She was just talking about how much of a little angel Chief Instructor was!

She wanted to take a nap and someone immediately delivered a pillow for her.
