Chapter 41 The Department Head with Thinning Hair

Chu Xingyue grabbed one of the men's shoulders and slapped him with her other hand, breaking his arm. The man cried out in pain and turned to throw a punch. Chu Xingyue dodged to the side and kicked him instead. The kick was too fast for the man to dodge and landed on his ribs. The force of the kick broke three or four of his ribs. The man was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

When the short man on Chu Jiaojiao's side saw his brother being beaten down, he turned to run over. Taking advantage of the man's distraction, Chu Jiaojiao jumped up and kicked him in the back. The force was so great that the man fell to the ground. Chu Jiaojiao then used her hand-held machete to knock the man unconscious.

Soon, Bing Ge and Cheng Guobang also finished their battle. With the addition of Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao, the battle ended quickly.

The two got to know each other through this tacit battle. Later, Cheng Guobang went back and applied for a bravery award for Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao, which was recorded directly in their files.

After that, the two would communicate frequently, and Cheng Guobang kept a close eye on Chu Xingyue's life and studies.

Later, Cheng Guobang learned about the Chu family's situation. Although they rarely met, it didn't hinder their familiarity. When Chu Xingyue entered high school, their correspondence gradually decreased, but whenever they did, Cheng Guobang would always end the letter by urging Chu Xingyue to study at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). This led to Chu Xingyue's excellent grades, admission to UCAS, and early enrollment.

The family had no idea that the two of them had such a thing when they were around ten years old, otherwise Chu Qian would not have told Chu Xingyue when she came of age so that she could live a peaceful life.

But how could someone like that have an ordinary life? Her life was destined to be extraordinary.

"Cheng Guobang, you simple-minded, muscle-bound brat, you're clearly a student in our department, but you insisted on transferring to the command department. It's been so long since our department has had such a promising talent."

Before anyone even arrived, the cursing began. Chu Xingyue raised an eyebrow at Cheng Guobang, looking at him with a "let's see how you explain this" expression. "Teasing things up, huh? How did you even come up with that?" Cheng Guobang, seeing Chu Xingyue's gaze, touched his nose and coughed awkwardly a few times.

"The person coming is Zhang Jianshe, the head of the Nuclear Computing Department. Please put in a good word for me and make him laugh, otherwise I'll get yelled at to death." Cheng Guobang looked at Chu Xingyue with pleading eyes. Chu Xingyue sat on the sofa drinking tea. "If you agree to all my conditions, everything is negotiable."

"I agree, I agree, didn't we all agree? Now speak properly, don't try to trick me." Cheng Guobang was a little skeptical of the girl; she was just too clever, and nothing could be hidden from her.

The person who came in had thinning hair and wore thick-rimmed glasses. He looked like a scholar at first glance, and he was indeed a scholar. However, people outside did not know his abilities and just thought of him as an old teacher standing on the podium.

"Oh, you have a guest here? What are you trying to fool this student about now?" "Old Zhang, I'm trying to persuade this girl not to go to your department, but she won't listen. She insists on going to your department and says she just wants to go. I'm trying to persuade her to stay in the command department right now, Chu Xingyue, don't you think so?" Listening to Cheng Guobang's serious nonsense, Chu Xingyue rolled her eyes.

"What? You're Chu Xingyue?" Old Zhang's hair practically stood on end in surprise. Upon hearing that it was Chu Xingyue, he immediately flashed a standard toothy grin.
