Chapter 154 When did I say I wanted to invite you to join the Hidden Dragon Team?
Xiao Li glanced at Shen Jiaojiao's face, unable to describe his feelings, and then asked his subordinates who were distributing supplies.
"Colonel Xiao, this person is trying to curry favor and delaying the distribution of supplies. If you say anything to her, she will bring up Colonel Huang Zhen."
Even a lowly soldier has a temper and doesn't like being threatened.
I heard that the people living here are all extremely wealthy, and I thought they would be people of high average quality. Who knew there would be such arrogant and domineering people among them.
Shen Jiaojiao was staring intently at Xiao Li's near-perfect profile, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration. But when she heard someone complaining about her, she instinctively raised her voice and shouted:
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't try to curry favor. If you don't believe me, you can confront Colonel Huang Zhen. I'm an officer..."
The words "spatial ability" almost slipped out of her mouth, but at the crucial moment, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly trembled and snapped back to reality.
When she realized what she had just said, she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly looked toward the tall, handsome figure.
Seeing that Xiao Li didn't seem to care about her rudeness, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Li's expression remained unchanged, only frowning slightly at the beginning, before he said to Chen Jiaojiao:
“Miss Shen, I know about your matter. Please come with me into the military tent to discuss it in detail.”
Xiao Li naturally felt that Shen Jiaojiao was not easy to get along with, but after all, she had superpowers and came from a wealthy family, so he was not surprised at all.
As the captain of the Hidden Dragon Team, in order to recruit awakened talents, he has to try to ignore even the strangest people.
Once you join his team, even the most spoiled brat can be disciplined by him; it'll just be a matter of a few beatings.
The most important thing right now is to carefully assess the value of Shen Jiaojiao's spatial ability and whether it's worth recruiting such a young lady into the team...
Shen Jiaojiao was surprised that the handsome man was interested in her. Her face flushed, she followed him into the military tent. She didn't forget to turn around and raise her chin at the soldier who had disrespected her, looking smug.
Lin Muyan thought for a moment, then spurred the green-headed flies into the military tent.
It wasn't that she had a penchant for prying into other people's privacy; she was genuinely curious about what Xiao Li would choose.
While in Songmushan Prison, Xiao Li had asked her about awakened individuals and personal spaces.
Shen Jiaojiao is undoubtedly a spatial ability awakener. Without the crystal core to enhance her strength, the size of her space is about the same as that of all awakeners.
If Xiao Li sees potential in Shen Jiaojiao's future development, he will likely extend an olive branch to her.
Between the middle-aged colonel and Xiao Li, Shen Jiaojiao would definitely choose Xiao Li.
Inside the military tent, Xiao Li and Shen Jiaojiao sat on opposite sides. One appeared shy but kept stealing glances at Xiao Li, while the other remained expressionless but inwardly loathed the way he looked at her.
Lin Muyan thought this scene was much more exciting than some TV dramas and was very appetizing. She quickly took out a bowl of still-warm spicy chicken feet and a plate of chicken and noodles from her space, and also took out a can of soda. She then happily began to eat.
Xiao Li suddenly regretted inviting this person into the military tent alone. The two of them stared at each other blankly.
The woman's gaze was too audacious, making him very uncomfortable.
Suppressing the urge to slap Shen Jiaojiao away, Xiao Li abandoned the idea of proceeding gradually and went straight to the point:
"I heard you've awakened spatial abilities?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao felt a surge of excitement. This man was so handsome, and seemed to have a very high status. She nodded and said:
"Yes, handsome, what should I call you? My name is Shen Jiaojiao, you can call me Jiaojiao."
Xiao Li remained expressionless, but a hint of displeasure flickered in his eyes.
"Miss Shen, right? My name is Xiao Li, and I'm the captain of the Hidden Dragon Team. I heard that Colonel Huang invited you to join. What was your response?"
Shen Jiaojiao did not answer immediately upon hearing this, as if she was pondering something.
Captain Xiao only mentioned that he was the captain of the Hidden Dragon Team, but did not mention his military rank.
Judging from his young age, he certainly won't reach the rank of colonel.
So Shen Jiaojiao gave an ambiguous reply.
"Colonel Huang did invite me, but I'm still considering it."
Xiao Li nodded. He didn't inquire too much about the matter, lest Huang Zhen find a handle to report him to his superiors.
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes darted around, and she looked at Xiao Li tentatively:
"Captain Xiao, I wonder who has a higher military rank, you or Colonel Huang? In the military, promotion depends on military medals, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao didn't really understand the intricacies of the situation; she just wanted to know if the handsome guy in front of her was worth her effort.
If she were just a lowly soldier, she naturally wouldn't be able to join the enemy's team; she would still have to go find Colonel Huang.
Being handsome can't put food on the table; she's very clear-headed when she's sober.
Once she's established herself and risen to a higher position, what kind of stunningly handsome man wouldn't she be able to get?
Xiao Li was unaware of Shen Jiaojiao's schemes, but he wasn't stupid either. He thought for a moment and said:
“Military rank? Miss Shen must have misunderstood. I am just a squad leader, how can I be compared to Colonel Huang Zhen?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao's smile immediately faded, and her attentiveness towards Xiao Li decreased by at least half.
Lin Muyan, who had just finished gnawing on a chicken foot, almost swallowed the chicken bone upon seeing this.
Shen Jiaojiao turned on me so quickly, how heartless!
This woman is too realistic, but she's not hopelessly infatuated; she hasn't acted foolishly because of good looks.
[Xiao Li deliberately lied to her to test her attitude, right? Who knew Shen Jiaojiao was such a fickle woman, her mood swings were almost as fast as the lightning speed I take to get home from work!]
[Sigh, I guess I can understand. After all, there's a huge difference between the captain and the colonel. Any smart person knows who has the most power. Shen Jiaojiao probably never imagined that such a handsome man would lie to her.]
[This is so interesting! I'm already looking forward to seeing how shocked Shen Jiaojiao will be when she finds out the other person's true identity.]
Lin Muyan was also quite looking forward to it, and she didn't expect that Xiao Li had so many little schemes up his sleeve, and even knew to test the other party.
Shen Jiaojiao could hardly hide the change in her eyes. She felt it was a pity that such a handsome man was just a small team leader, and it seemed that he had to work hard everywhere. He was not worthy of her.
Xiao Li didn't say anything more, looking at Shen Jiaojiao with an indifferent expression.
At this moment, his desire to invite the other party to join him had diminished considerably.
According to Miss Lin, there are quite a few humans who will be able to awaken superpowers in the future. Although he missed the opportunity, there should be no shortage of truly capable people in the future. He can wait and see. There is no need to bring such a troublesome person into the team just for a spatial ability.
Shen Jiaojiao was somewhat annoyed that Xiao Li hadn't mentioned inviting her to join the team.
After thinking for a moment, she simply said:
"Captain Xiao, I know what you're looking for. Let's be frank. I've already agreed to join Colonel Huang's team. He's offering very good terms. I wonder what terms you'll offer?"
Xiao Li lowered his eyebrows and frowned slightly. Then, he let out a soft groan and leaned back lazily in his chair, glancing languidly at Shen Jiaojiao.
"When did I say I wanted to invite you to join the Hidden Dragon Team?"
