Ding Ning’s fear of Gu Juexi was the kind that emanated all the way from the bottom of her heart.
When Yu Jiangqing brought her into the army, he still reserved some affection for her no matter what. Therefore, even during training, he would not really torture her to death.
However, Gu Juexi was the training officer in charge of the final batch of Special Forces Elite that lasted for a week. Among the ten candidates chosen to plow through the week, only three Elites were left—she was one of them.
For seven whole days, they did not sleep for a single minute. In fact, they did not feel a second of relaxation.
This monster, Gu Juexi, did not about what gender they were, nor would he care about their life or death. His ultimate objective was the Elite; an Elite that could survive and send an effective message even if they were standing in the middle of a war.
Every day during those seven days, Ding Ning felt that she might suddenly die or collapse in the next second. They went up in the sky, descended the seas, swamps, and poisonous forests. Sometimes, it occurred to Ding Ning that if there was a volcano, Gu Juexi might really send them to the volcanic crater and let them race against the volcano.
Therefore, this fear was carved into her bones.
Ding Ning’s fear was necessary.
“Pretend you don’t know anything about Ye Cong. He won’t cause any trouble in B City,” Gu Juexi said. “Ding Ning, set the issues with the actors aside for now. The winter military exercise is coming soon. You should get ready for that first.”
Ding Ning pursed her lips and remained silent.
Yu Jiangqing stood up and followed Gu Juexi to his desk. “I’ve decided to withdraw, but I don’t know who I should hand Flying Eagle over to yet.”
After Yu Jiangqing said that, Ding Ning raised her head and looked over immediately.
Gu Juexi also raised his head to look at Ding Ning coincidentally, as if to say, “Isn’t this a given?”
“She can’t.” Yu Jiangqing rejected without hesitation.
“Why can’t I? Yu Jiangqing, don’t take advantage of your position for personal gain.”
“A soldier who doesn’t carry herself like a soldier, and yet, you still think you can spearhead Flying Eagle?” Yu Jiangqing scoffed without holding back his malice.
Ding Yu sneered. “You are abusing your authority for personal gain. This is just you afraid that I’d steal your limelight, am I right?”
“Go home and argue.” Gu Juexi interrupted them. The two of them had been arguing for so many years. They might not be tired, but Gu Juexi was tired as their spectator.
When Ye Yuwei pushed the door open and entered the room, the atmosphere was unusually tense.
“Is this a bad time?” Ye Yuwei stood at the door and looked at the people inside the room with an innocent face. She seemed to have heard Gu Juexi’s roar just now.
Ding Ning picked up her coat and turned around instantly in her high heels that were around a dozen centimeters high. She gave Ye Yuwei a light nod when she reached the door as a form of greeting.
The corner of Ye Yuwei’s mouth twitched as she looked at her ten-centimeter stilettos. Was she really unafraid of spraining her ankles?
After Ding Ning left, Yu Jiangqing did not continue his stay there. Similarly, he took his coat and chased after her.
Ye Yuwei waited for them to leave before entering the room with a folder in her hands. “They’re fighting again, aren’t they?”
“You should ask, when do they not fight?” Naturally, Gu Juexi’s mood improved upon seeing his wife. “Why are you here?”
Ye Yuwei went over and placed the document on his desk. “You need to sign the loan document of RT Group. And Mr. Gu, can you check if you can spare some time? I want to see Mo Fei.” Ye Yuwei said as she walked around the desk and put her arms around Gu Juexi’s neck. “Accompany me, please. Xin Ya told me that Mo Fei can sit now.”
Gu Juexi flipped through the contract casually and fetch the pen to sign. He had no objections to Ye Yuwei’s fawning.
It was just that this matter of seeing Mo Fei was—
