Xia Lin looked at Tu Ke with concern and said.
"If you can't recruit any talent in this area, our military can lend you such talent."
"Political Commissar Xia is right. We will definitely arrange for such talent when we get back."
Tu Ke nodded in agreement.
"You guys can go back and talk, I'm tired and need to go back and rest," Zhang Jianshe said irritably as he watched the group arguing.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, this way please, this way please!" Gu Yanting apologized to Zhang Jianshe with a big smile.
Zhang Jianshe didn't even lift his eyelids.
"These must be the three young heroes who resolved the crisis. I never expected to find female soldiers who are just as capable as men," Gu Yanting said admiringly to Chu Xingyue and the other two.
"Greetings, Commander!" The three saluted Gu Yanting and Xia Lin.
The two returned the greeting. Xia Lin glanced at Chu Xingyue, who winked playfully at him.
"You all performed wonderfully today, demonstrating the responsibility and commitment of modern soldiers." Zhang Jianshe felt as refreshed as eating an ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day when he heard people praising Xiao Lin and Xiao Fang, and especially Chu Xingyue.
Chu Xingyue found the old man's arrogant expression extremely funny. Chu Xingyue followed Gu Yanting and Xia Lin into one car, while Xiao Lin and Xiao Fang got into the car behind.
After saying goodbye to Tu Ke, he drove away.
The word "uncle" made Gu Yanting and Zhang Jianshe stare blankly at Chu Xingyue. Who was this uncle she was calling?
"It's been a long time since we last met, hasn't it?" she said with a smile, introducing the two stunned people.
"This is my uncle's granddaughter, Chu Xingyue."
"An'an, this is your uncle's old partner, Gu Yanting. Call him Uncle Gu," Xia Lin introduced Chu Xingyue to Gu Yanting.
"Uncle Gu," Chu Xingyue called out obediently to Gu Yanting.
Gu Yanting, whose family had no daughters, looked at the beautiful Chu Xingyue and thought that this child was the next generation that his military family had been dreaming of.
Chu Xingyue glanced at Gu Yanting. The name was similar, and their eyes and eyebrows were alike, confirming her guess. She hadn't realized the world was so small. She wondered what Gu Yanting's expression would be when he found out his younger brother was pursuing her. This nickname would give her a headache for a long time from now on.
Zhang Jianshe was a little surprised. He knew his apprentice had a family background, but he didn't know the kid had such a deep background.
"Mr. Zhang, we've known for a long time that An'an is your last disciple. Thank you for teaching my child. Our whole family is very grateful to you and admires you greatly!" Xia Lin sincerely thanked Zhang Jianshe, who was sitting in the middle.
Zhang Jianshe felt pleased to hear this, but something seemed off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
“I will definitely teach my apprentice well. Please don’t be shy, Xiao Chu is like my own granddaughter. I only have one grandson, so Xiao Chu is my granddaughter.”
"Yes, yes, you're right. Our child is very well-behaved. Such a child is the pride of the whole family. And there are Xiaolin and Xiaofang beside you." Xia Lin said to Zhang Jianshe ingratiatingly. Zhang Jianshe is a person with the pride of a scholar and the courage of a soldier. It's normal for such a person to have a temper. His ability is real.
"Xiao Lin, although Xiao Fang was assigned to you by our military region to protect you, I will help a few people earn military merit for what happened today," Gu Yanting assured Zhang Jianshe.
“Good, this definitely deserves recognition. This isn’t just any ordinary military achievement. Let’s promote Xiao Chu. She’s already graduated with a bachelor’s degree and is a platoon leader. Let’s see if this military achievement can help Xiao Chu get promoted again. And don’t forget Xiao Lin and Xiao Fang. Although they’re from your military region, they’re now working for me.” Zhang Jianshe didn’t forget to protect his own Xiao Lin and Xiao Fang while advocating for his young apprentice.
"The flight attendant also plays a very important role. She is very brave." Chu Xingyue recalled the flight attendant's fearful yet courageous appearance and felt that women are lovely no matter their age.
"Don't worry, I'll send a message to Tu Ke right now," Gu Yanting said as he took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Tu Ke, saying that thanks to the cooperation of the flight attendant, they were able to quell the incident so quickly.
The people in the car were talking. Zhang Jianshe and Xia Lin would ask Chu Xingyue questions when they were chatting, and Chu Xingyue would answer their questions in a very cooperative manner. Chu Xingyue's insights would occasionally leave Zhang Jianshe and Xia Lin stunned.
"So that's how it should be. I had some doubts at the time, so I changed my approach, but things just haven't been going smoothly since. It turns out my direction wasn't wrong, I just missed this step. It's my fault. If I had double-checked it, I wouldn't have been stuck like this until now." Zhang Jianshe finally understood after hearing Chu Xingyue's explanation.
"Bringing you here this time was definitely a wise move. If I had known, I wouldn't have worried about affecting your exams. How could undergraduate exams affect you?" Zhang Jianshe was extremely annoyed. He knew Chu Xingyue's abilities from the beginning, and every time he came back from this project, he would bring back some questions compiled by the project team.
Chu Xingyue smiled, knowing that her teacher and uncle wanted her to make a good impression on Gu Yanting, but she didn't want to cooperate with them.
Gu Yanting, as her immediate supervisor at the research institute, still had some reservations about her visit.
After all, she's so young, and she's a girl.
However, through the back-and-forth questioning between Chu Xingyue, Zhang Jianshe, and Xia Lin, Gu Yanting completely forgot his initial statement about remaining skeptical.
This was a girl in her early twenties, definitely not an old scholar of similar age to Zhang Jianshe. He didn't understand professional matters, but he did understand military matters. Some of Chu Xingyue's insights made him feel enlightened.
How can someone with such talent be expected to conduct research?
"An'an, come to the Northwest Military Region after graduation, come to your uncle's place. Our military region is in dire need of military talent like you. I believe that with you joining us, our army will definitely make further progress."
"Little Pavilion, do you have any shame? Trying to steal my boyfriend right in front of me, are you pretending I don't exist?" Okay, you even called him by his nickname, how infuriating!
"Uncle Gu, this is what I promised my teacher. I'll finish my studies first, and we can talk about the rest after graduation. I believe I'll have a chance to go to the Northwest Military Region. After all, the Northwest Military Region has a great reputation, and it's not something you can just come to whenever you want. I'll try my best to come to your military region then." Although Chu Xingyue rejected Gu Yanting, her words made Gu Yanting feel good. It's true that it's nice to hear people say nice things.
I thought a girl this age would be old-fashioned because of her good grades, but I didn't expect her to be so tactful in her dealings with people and her words. She was so good at handling things that no one could find fault with her, and she was happy even when she was rejected.
"You said it yourself, so I'll be waiting for your arrival!" Gu Yanting was very happy, his eyes occasionally glancing at Xia Lin, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be clearer.
