"By the way, do you know another reason why father arranged Wu Jie here?" Hestia suddenly asked.

The two separated from their hug, and now they were like real sisters, putting aside their past grudges. Hestia took Skadi's hand and sat together.

Skadi didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this and shook her head. She only knew her father's military intentions, but judging from Hestia's expression, it seemed that he had other purposes?

Hestia chuckled. "Actually, my father sent Wu Jie to the Winter Research Institute for another purpose. He wanted to use this period of time in the sea to quietly lure Wu Jie over to Country M."

Skadi wasn't surprised to hear this. Indeed, which country wouldn't be eager to recruit someone like Wu Jie? If he were his father, he would definitely try to win Wu Jie over.

But Hestia continued helplessly, "But Wu Jie's heart is in Dragon Country, and General Wang is his principal. It would be very difficult to poach him from General Wang."

Skadi wasn't interested in personnel matters, so she wasn't sure which General Wang Hestia was referring to. So she asked, "General Wang? Which General Wang?"

Hestia was stunned. "Who else could it be? The old General Wang from Dragon Country who achieved such remarkable feats in the Battle of Yubei."

Skadi was shocked. Only then did she realize what kind of talent Wu Jie was. Not only did he have outstanding abilities, but his status was also first-class. No wonder her father wanted to poach him.

Seeing Skadi's expression, Hestia smiled again: "It seems that you really don't care much about personnel matters. You are completely focused on military affairs."

Skadi said helplessly: "You know, I am more focused on doing things."

Hestia: "Hehe, to tell you the truth, father brought Wu Jie here because he wanted to keep him here through the two of us. He only told me but not you."

Skadi was stunned. "How could this be?" She was silent for a moment before continuing, "Yes, after all, such a person would be a treasure wherever he goes. If I were his father, I would do the same. But... I don't quite understand. We two kept him here, but we don't seem to have anything to show for it, right?"

Hestia was immediately amused by Skadi's innocence: "Pfft... do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"

Skadis thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't figure it out. He could only ask for help and said, "You really have given me a hard time."

Hestia could only say in a half-helpless tone, "Tell me, besides fame and fortune, what else can attract a man?"

Skadi was stunned. She had never thought about it this way before: "You, you mean...Father means..."

Hestia immediately leaned close to Skadi's ear and whispered a few words, causing Skadi to blush all the way to her neck.

"No... not... this, this also..." Although Skadi had already guessed some of it, it was still more impactful when Hestia said it herself.

Hestia didn't wait for her to think, "And think about it. Given the commander's character and abilities, being with him wouldn't be a disadvantage. I'm confident he can at least reach the rank of Lieutenant General! Not only would we secure a powerful talent for Country M, but we'd also be able to establish a connection with General Wang of Dragon Country. Killing two birds with one stone."

"Besides, Skadi, think about it. We're at war now. Speaking of which, who knows if we'll even see the sun the next day? Rather than waiting, we should take the initiative. A true leader like you, Commander, is rare."

Skadi was stunned by Hestia. It was indeed as Hestia said. Wu Jie was a navy and army colonel at such a young age. He was also a student of General Wang and a world champion. With all these halos, it would not lower her value if she was with Wu Jie.

The most important thing is that Wu Jie is also a soldier. The two have the same profession and have many points of intersection in life, which means there will be no shortage of topics.

But Skadi suddenly thought of something. She stared at Hestia with suspicion and said, "After all this talk, you want me to go alone?"

Hestia was overjoyed when she heard her say this. "Tsk, I don't want to go alone. I want to compete with you fairly! I don't want you to become obsessed with the commander, and then I have to worry about you because I made the first move and you're too scared to attack."

Skadi was stunned: "What kind of logic is this?"

Hestia chuckled. "That's illogical. You know, once I get mad, logic doesn't apply to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to your office to act crazy before."

This is true. Hestia never listens to logic when she gets emotional.

Could it be that she was getting emotional again? Skadi looked left and right, as if she wanted to see through Hestia.

Hestia was confused. "What are you looking at me for? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Skadi put her finger on her chin and said, "Well, when you get crazy, you look like a slut. Why haven't I seen you so lustful before?"

Hestia burst out laughing at this, completely losing her ladylike image. "Haha...Skadi, if you don't make a move, I will. I don't want you to fall in love with the commander and then be afraid to attack because I made the first move. I'll look down on you then."

"I'm doing this for the simple reason of two words: fairness! Skadi, I know it's incredibly difficult for someone like the commander to remain unnoticed. I have to tell you in advance, but I don't want you to be so anxious later that you want to find the commander but don't dare, and end up crying to me."

Skadi was immediately aroused by her rebellious heart: "Are you so sure that I will like the boss? What if he is not my type? Besides, this is not ancient times. Love is free now. No one can stop me from liking someone."

Hestia suddenly laughed: "Okay! You said so, no cheating! I have to strike first, the one who strikes first has the advantage! Hehehe!"

Skadi rolled her eyes. "I can't control you, you can do whatever you want. I'll give you the position, okay?"

Hestia chuckled and said, "Don't worry, even if you regret it later, it's not too late to come to me quietly and tell me, because I said I would be fair to Skadi!"

When Skadi heard this, she was both angry and amused. What happened to Hestia today? She kept talking about her boss. She must be lovesick.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!" said Skadi.

As the door opened, it was Wu Jie who came in.
