General Qin was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched.
Today, he finally understood what it meant to have a fire in the front yard and a thief in the backyard, and what it meant to lose more than you gain.
Not only did he fail to win over the other person, but he was poached by someone else instead - is this how a human being should act?
He now wished he could do what happened on ancient Earth, give an order and send people to drag Zhou Feng out and give him dozens of slaps.
It’s so bullying!
But no matter how upset he was, General Qin still retained his rationality.
The moment Zhou Feng mentioned Qin Yuan, his mind moved slightly and he keenly sensed a glimmer of opportunity.
Ever since his grandson was tricked by the Federation into carrying out an assassination mission, General Qin has been filled with anger and resentment. Now that his grandson has luckily survived, his hair has turned white with worry these past few days, and he has been thinking about how to rescue Qin Yuan from the control of the Federation.
Being the chief of staff of a new army corps... although it sounds a bit child's play, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be a bit like defeating the old master with random punches.
At least most of the federal leaders probably couldn't have imagined that things would develop like this.
This is an opportunity.
General Qin pursed his lips tightly, frowning into a deep vertical line between his brows. He looked at Zhou Feng, who was grinning in front of him, and felt that this subordinate who used to be reliable and capable was now a nobody.
No matter what, he lost both his subordinates and his grandson.
General Qin finally waved his hand and said unhappily, "Fuck you, do whatever you want."
Zhou Feng immediately raised his head excitedly: "Boss, do you agree?"
"What if you disagree?" General Qin said with a stern face. "Get out! Get out! I'm tired of you."
Zhou Feng smiled and said, "Don't be so disgusted, Boss. I haven't finished yet. Actually...according to Qiong Sheng, she hopes that everyone in our team can come with me to Dawn. As you know, she's just starting out and is short on manpower."
General Qin: “???”
General Qin gasped, his eyes widening. "She wants to poach your entire team?!"
This isn't just poaching, this is fucking undermining the very foundations of the city!
…
In the end, Zhou Feng took almost all the team members with him when he left the Yinhui base.
General Qin finally agreed to Zhou Feng's request.
After all, the New Legion Dawn is where his grandson Qin Yuan will be going soon, and he will be holding the title of Chief of Staff. Without some family members to help him, he is really worried that his grandson will have no one to use and will not be able to hold the scene.
These members were all veterans of Zhou Feng's team, and they were also Yinhui's elite. They had also had extensive experience with Gu Qiongsheng and were already convinced of the "miracle girl." When Zhou Feng offered to help her build a new army, the members hesitated for a moment, but most chose to support him.
Only General Qin was left standing in the office. He looked through the bright French windows at the soldiers leaving the camp one after another and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas..."
Damn, my heart hurts so much.
Although the departure of these people would not affect Yinhui's overall combat effectiveness, General Qin still felt uncomfortable.
"I hope you can make a name for yourself," he muttered. "I heard there's a final assessment, but please don't get beaten up and disbanded, and then come back crying."
"I can't afford to lose that person."
At the same time, Gu Qiongsheng received the good news from Zhou Feng, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"That's great, Sister Zhou," she said happily, "This way we can build the basic framework of our legion."
Zhou Feng laughed during the call, "I told them you had a way to help them advance to at least one more level, so they came. You can't fool them."
Gu Qiongsheng smiled and said, "Alright, Sister Zhou, just trust me. When have I ever fooled anyone?"
On the screen, Zhou Feng laughed and shook his head, thinking, if you can't fool people, how can I stand here now?
The two chatted for a few more words, and Zhou Feng suddenly said, "But Qiongsheng, I only brought a hundred people this time, which is far from the required 1,500 people."
"It's okay," Gu Qiongsheng raised the corner of his lips, "I haven't fooled you yet... No, I haven't finished communicating with you yet."
"Sister Zhou, just wait for my good news."
…
Starry station.
Zheng Hun, who had just finished the rescue mission on Xiling Star and was enjoying a rare rest at the base, suddenly received a call from Gu Qiongsheng.
After hearing Gu Qiongsheng's intentions, he laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. "Hahahaha... trying to win me over? You're really funny. Do you know what you're doing?"
"You're trying to steal Fanxing's girls. Aren't you afraid that if I tell others, the Fanxing executives will be unhappy with you?"
During the communication, Gu Qiongsheng smiled calmly: "That's a problem you only need to consider when you fail to win over someone."
"...That's right," Zheng Hun said nonchalantly, half leaning against the window. "But why should I go with you to build a new legion?"
"The Stars Corps is already one of the three major legions. And to be a bit boastful, I'm not that old, but I've already become a lieutenant colonel. I'll be promoted slowly in the future, and who knows, one day I might even become a legion commander."
"Why should I give up my stable life and go through the hard times of making a comeback and starting over with you?"
"And there's also the assessment—the military assessment is very difficult. If I fail, the legion will be disbanded on the spot. How can I continue to function in the military district?"
His voice was casual, but between the lines of his voice, he spoke the truth.
Unlike Zhou Feng, Zheng Hun didn't have such a deep bond with Gu Qiongsheng. Even though he had been astounded by Gu Qiongsheng's healing abilities during their brief time together on Xiling Star, that wasn't enough reason for him to leave his comfort zone and join Gu Qiongsheng.
Zheng Hun's reaction was also within Gu Qiongsheng's expectations.
Fortunately, she still has a trick.
Gu Qiongsheng paused, and suddenly said, "By the way, Brother Zheng, did you know that Sister Zhou will soon be able to break through to S-level?"
These words made Zheng Hun's back stiffen and he almost rolled off the bed.
He flipped over and stood up, grabbing his personal terminal with a serious expression: "Wait, what did you say?"
Gu Qiongsheng smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, do you still remember those researchers we rescued last time?"
"I asked them if they could develop a drug, similar to the powerful awakening potion, to help adult warriors break through their mental bottleneck. It doesn't matter if the drug is a bit more potent. I have a way to prevent damage."
"Yesterday they told me that the research and development is going smoothly and that preliminary results will be available within a month."
Zheng Hun listened blankly, his expression strange and complicated.
He understood what Gu Qiongsheng meant.
On the one hand, the research institute is powerful, and on the other hand, there is Gu Qiongsheng's healing skills. The combination of the two creates an advantage that no other legion can possess.
Zheng Hun felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, and his tone became much weaker: "But I have a family to take care of, and I can't take risks with you just for an S-rank."
"That's right," Gu Qiongsheng nodded repeatedly. "Ah, Brother Zheng, I understand you so well. It doesn't matter. At most, Sister Zhou will break through to S-rank first, and then I will make arrangements for the warriors she brings with her as soon as possible."
"Once the Dawn Legion is done, I will definitely help you first. After all, you took good care of me on Xiling Star..."
"Wait!" Zheng Hun's headache worsened. "What did you say? Crazy Zhou brought people with him?"
"You...you don't want to make them all S-rank, do you?!"
Gu Qiongsheng said calmly, "If conditions permit, why not?"
Zheng Hun: “……!”
"Wait a minute," Zheng Hun said, feeling uneasy. "Let me think about it, let me consider it..."
This guy is too much!
Could it be that any soldier under Zhou Feng will be S-level in the future?
Then Zhou Feng doesn't even need to take any action, the opponent's men can crush him under their feet?
Thinking of that scene, Zheng Hun felt a chill down his spine and shivered all over.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Zhou Feng and the "historical grudges" between the two of them, if the other party became successful, he would definitely come to show off in front of him, and his future days would become miserable.
Seeing Zheng Hun hesitating, Gu Qiongsheng raised the corner of his mouth and pressed on, "By the way, Brother Zheng, Sister Zhou came to me to be the deputy head of the group."
"Our group is small, and there won't be many deputy leaders. If you make your decision too late, I'm afraid this position will..."
Zheng Hun, who was dizzy from being fooled, said: "..."
…
After capturing Zhou Feng and Zheng Hun, Gu Qiongsheng's ideal legion structure was finally formed.
Next, she no longer planned to use "promotion to S-level" as a gimmick to continue to win over soldiers from other legions.
After all, Zhou Feng and Zheng Hun were people she had interacted with before and understood their nature. Even if these two became S-level, she would not need to be on guard against anything. However, the same could not be said for others. Gu Qiongsheng did not want to recruit a bunch of "big guys" to come over to her. She had little experience and was difficult to manage.
And who knows whether the military district will take advantage of this to intervene and cause trouble for her.
As I said, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
"I've been badly tricked by you."
Lying back on the bed, Zheng Hun stared with dead eyes and muttered, "Hey, let me think about how to tell Chief of Staff Wu about this."
"He's already been pissed off for not bringing you to Fanxing, and now he knows you've poached him—of course, he won't dare do anything to you, but he'll definitely be so angry he'll want to kill me..."
Gu Qiongsheng smiled sweetly, "It's okay, no rush. I'm still a long way from gathering 1,500 people here, so it's okay if you come later, Brother Zheng."
"You want me to dawdle for a few more days to see if I can recruit a few more people to go with me?" Zheng Hun clutched his chest. "That's so dirty! How did you learn this from Crazy Zhou? You have such a dirty heart too."
He recalled the countless times he had been cheated during his school years, shook his head in pain, and changed the subject: "By the way, besides that guy, who else did you find?"
Gu Qiongsheng thought for a moment and said, "The news hasn't been fully released yet. There should still be some old members of Chenxi. And the chief of staff is from my classmate, Qin Yuan..."
"Um, Qin Yuan?" Zheng Hun frowned slightly. "Is he the one from Project Sharp Knife?"
The situation was kept completely confidential until the plan was implemented.
But the problem is that the federal government thought the plan had failed and relaxed restrictions in many aspects. Even the news media had been notified, so part of the plan was inevitably leaked.
Zheng Hun, who was close to the situation and now knew the truth, rubbed his chin and said subconsciously, "Yeah, I heard that kid is pretty good. It really wasn't easy for him. He almost died, but now he's barely got a chance to catch his breath..."
Gu Qiongsheng was stunned.
"Almost died?" Her tone suddenly became serious. "What happened? What happened?"
Zheng Hun: "...Fuck, you don't know?"
