The last gunshot was heard, indicating that the shooting competition had come to an end.
One of the soldiers brought the statistical results of the competition to the podium and placed them in front of the leaders.
The leader gave Ren Tingxi a wink as a matter of course.
Ren Tingxi seemed to understand his leader's intention instantly. He nodded first, then turned around and looked at Lan Xiaolan.
"Feeling okay?"
"Yeah." Lan Xiaolan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a pure smile.
"Will you still be so scared when you hear gunshots now?"
"No, on the contrary. Seeing so many soldiers holding guns and moving so heroically, I was quite shocked."
Ren Tingxi nodded with relief. Seeing that Lan Xiaolan was really fine and seemed to have really overcome the fear brought to her by the gunshots, he let go of the hand that had been clenched tightly.
"After the results of the drill competition come out, I need to have a meeting with the leaders, which may take some time."
"The last room in the corridor on the third floor is my office. You can wait for me there for a while."
"Be good, I'll be back soon."
Ren Tingxi raised his hand and touched her hair gently and lovingly.
When the palm passed over her eyes, Lan Xiaolan seemed to see some red light and shadow through her peripheral vision.
She picked up Ren Tingxi's hand and saw that she was too nervous and had scratched his hand until it bled.
"Your hand...I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's just a small matter, it will be fine in a moment. As long as you are okay, it's fine."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left.
When he left, he quickly put his still bleeding hand into his trouser pocket. He didn't want her to look at it any more and didn't want her to worry.
Lan Xiaolan followed the direction Ren Tingxi said and came to her office in the army.
The office is not big, but it is simply and elegantly decorated and neatly arranged. It can be seen that there are traces of Ren Tingxi often working here.
In addition to a set of desks and chairs, the office also has a cabinet next to it.
There are many books displayed in the cabinet, most of which are related to architecture.
Ren Tingxi would take these books with him wherever he went so that he could check them at any time.
His hard work and diligence really made Lan Xiaolan admire him from the bottom of her heart.
In addition to books, the cabinet is also filled with various awards and trophies of various sizes, all of which are shooting-related awards.
in the country, the use of guns is not allowed, so such skills are of no use in the country.
In fact, Ren Tingxi did not want others to know about his skills and hobbies, so his participation in shooting competitions was always kept secret, and all the trophies he won were kept here.
After all, his identity as a sharpshooter was already an open secret in the army.
"How about it, Tingxi is very powerful, isn't he?"
The office door suddenly opened, and a tall man walked in with several rows of colorful badges hanging on his chest.
Lan Xiaolan looked at the epaulettes on his shoulders again and was sure that he must be a leader of extraordinary status.
The leader smiled at Lan Xiaolan and walked over: "I have led thousands of soldiers, but I have never found anyone as outstanding as Tingxi."
"If he hadn't insisted on studying architecture, I would have kept him in the army and wouldn't have let him go."
Lan Xiaolan turned around, smiled at the old leader, and greeted him: "Hello, leader."
The old leader also smiled at Lan Xiaolan, looking cute and amiable.
"I heard that Tingxi brought his fiancée to watch our exercise. I've often heard your name from others, but I've never heard Tingxi mention you."
"So I was curious and wanted to come see you."
"Hello, Miss Ling."
"Hmm? Hmm, hello, leader."
The old leader is from the north and has been transferred here from the country for just over a year.
Before coming here, he had served in the army in the north and was very familiar with the four major families in the capital. He often interacted with people from the four major families.
However, the Ling family is the most powerful and influential, but it has only one daughter, Ling Muxue, as the heir to the family.
At that time, the old leader often heard in the circle that Miss Ling had been engaged to the Ren family in the south, but the eldest son of the Ren family had already married.
And the distinguished Miss Ling is naturally the best choice for Mrs. Ren Tingxi.
Moreover, before meeting Ren Tingxi, the old leader had already inquired about the relationship between Miss Ling and the Ren family.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Ren liked her very much, and since Ren Tingxi was working out of town, Miss Ling went to Oasis Building to handle company affairs for Ren Tingxi.
The old leader still admires Miss Ling, who is so capable.
Therefore, today I came here specially to see the true appearance of Miss Ling from Beijing and get to know her by the way.
However, the old leader didn’t know that the girl in front of him was Lan Xiaolan, not Ling Muxue.
When Lan Xiaolan heard her old leader calling her "Miss Ling", she was obviously a little surprised.
The old leader is from the north, has a strong northern accent, and his surname is Lan.
The pronunciations of "Lan" and "Ling" may be similar, so the old leader read it wrong.
Lan Xiaolan comforted herself in this way.
"When I was working in the capital, I often heard of Miss Ling. She comes from a prominent family and is a highly educated overseas returnee. Meeting her today, she seems even more approachable."
