Then, a group of people reminisced about the past, and as they talked, some even shed tears of sadness.
Li Gangtie was undoubtedly a mood disruptor. He couldn't stand seeing a group of grown men being sentimental, so he said, "It's not like we're parting ways or dying, why are you crying like that?"
If I want to visit Suzhou again in the future, it's not hard to say. I can just drive for a few hours on a weekend and come over.
If you don't want to miss out on the reconstruction process of Sussex, that's even better.
"Captain Zhou is right here. Anyone who wants to stay with the Suzhou City Guard can go to Captain Zhou to handle the paperwork. Personnel transfers are quite easy within the Guard. As long as Zhou accepts you, I can let you go."
As soon as Li Gangtie finished speaking, the young men who had been heartbroken and shedding tears immediately sat up straight and dared not cry anymore.
None of them wanted to stay, after all, their families were from Shanghai, and it would be unseemly for them to stay in Suzhou.
But their silence didn't mean someone was indifferent. Yuan Ruoxi, who had been whispering in Tong Xianbao's ear, immediately sat up straight, raised her hand, and said, "My baby wants to stay in Suzhou!"
Tong Xianbao was stunned. He really wanted to go back to Haishi. He had been longing for the big villa, the big meals, and the big bed for a long time.
Seeing Yuan Ruoxi's insistence and expectation, he opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't have the courage to disagree with her.
There's nothing we can do; we haven't even firmly secured our position with the powerful figure yet.
Sigh, he was actually quite aware of his position; he was just a male concubine, someone who could be replaced at any time if he didn't like him. So, he could only suppress his urge to go home and submit to the arrangements of his powerful backer.
But Li Gangtie ignored this. He frowned and said in a rough voice, "Tong Xianbao failed the assessment because he was not proactive at work and took a week off. In principle, he should be returned to his original unit. So there is no question of whether he stays or not in Suzhou."
As soon as Li Gangtie finished speaking, Yuan Ruoxi became agitated. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up, saying, "My baby is so good, how could he not pass? You must be the one secretly sabotaging things, unable to bear seeing him succeed. If you don't change the result for him, I'm going to complain to your superiors right now!"
In fact, Yuan Ruoxi didn't know whether Tong Xianbao had performed well or not, but she liked being with him, so she relied on her status as a space ability user to force Li Gangtie to change his mind.
But Li Gangtie wasn't easily intimidated. He sat in his seat, exuding an air of authority, and said, "Little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
You see, the assessment wasn't just my decision; several captains from the Suzhou City Guard also gave their results. Out of seven examiners, six failed him. Is it his fault or mine?
Yuan Ruoxi felt a little guilty after being rebuked. Her cheeks turned bright red, but she didn't want to lose face in front of Tong Xianbao, so she looked at Zhou Qi and Li Sikai and asked, "Well, even if it doesn't go through him, the Su City Guard Team can still accept it, right?"
Li Sikai shrugged. "I told you before, you have to clean up the mess you make yourself. The guards won't pay for it."
Zhou Qi also shook his head, "Well, I'm just a nobody, my word doesn't count."
Yuan Ruoxi was somewhat embarrassed and could only shout, "Since you can't make the decision, I'll go to Qin Yuncheng tomorrow and ask him for a solution."
At this moment, Tong Xianbao tugged at Yuan Ruoxi's sleeve and said with some emotion, "Ruoxi, you don't need to make things difficult for me. You should know that these few days we spent together were the happiest days of my life. With these memories, the rest of my life will be sweet."
Yes, this tactic is called retreating to advance.
Yuan Ruoxi sat down, her eyes brimming with tears of emotion. She cupped his face in her hands and said, "My dear, I will definitely let you stay in Suzhou. Life is so long, and without you, I will have no joy in living."
Don't worry, whether they accept you or not, don't go back to Haishi. Stay with me and I'll take care of you!
Yes, this is a different kind of underhanded tactic. Yuan Ruoxi couldn't bear to cut off her own path to survival, so by threatening him with his future, she wanted to sever Tong Xianbao's "lifeline," making him dependent on her from then on. It was only because she hadn't inquired about Tong Xianbao's family background that she had such an idea.
Tong Xianbao was at a loss for words. He only knew that when he heard the other person say "I'll take care of you," he didn't feel the kind of emotion he had imagined.
His job was originally quite good. If his family hadn't heard about the strange things happening in Su City, and if it weren't for Lu Nanfang's instigation, he wouldn't have been assigned to the guard team, which led to his acquaintance with Yuan Ruoxi.
At this moment, he had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he wanted to leave this city full of ruins, but on the other hand, he didn't know how to treat the powerful figure he had just latched onto.
Having finally established a real relationship, it would be a real shame to give it up now. But he also noticed that neither Zhou Qi nor Li Sikai really liked him staying by Yuan Ruoxi's side.
But he's already slept with her, which everyone knows. If he's just dismissed like this, where will he put his pride?
Therefore, Tong Xianbao could only hold Yuan Ruoxi tightly, burying his head in her shoulder and neck and silently shedding tears.
The warm tears made Yuan's heart ache. She kept patting his back to comfort him, "Don't worry, I will definitely think of a way. I won't abandon you."
This time, Li Sikai didn't even roll his eyes, choosing to ignore it and chatting with Shen Yanming to the side. The teammates around them did the same, not letting this scene spoil the atmosphere of their farewell.
Well, I guess I've seen it so much these past few days that I've gotten used to it.
After confirming that Yuan Ruoxi had no interest in Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan watched the drama with great interest. She didn't pay attention to the male and female leads, but instead focused all her attention on the female supporting character who was being ignored.
While Tong Yuan and Lu Nanfang were pouring their hearts out to each other, Lu Nanfang simply sat to the side, pursed her lips, and then lowered her head to reveal a mocking smile.
Bi Qiaoan thought to herself, "This isn't so harmonious after all. It seems there's more to it than meets the eye."
Then the story begins to twist: the female supporting character is betrayed and her lover is stolen away. Unable to fight back, she feigns compliance, then waits for the right moment to strike and kill him, severely punishing the male and female leads who humiliated her.
Sigh, you really think too much.
Seeing Bi Qiaoan lost in thought, Shen Yanming smiled, squeezed her hand, and asked in her ear, "What are you thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing!" She dared not say anything inappropriate in front of so many people. It wouldn't be good if the female lead held a grudge, or if her words came true.
Shen Yanming didn't press further, but simply reminded Bi Qiaoan to eat quickly. After they finished eating, he gave Li Sikai a wink, then helped Bi Qiaoan back to her tent.
Li Sikai was feeling annoyed, so he whispered a few words to his teammates and then followed them.
Then, after Shen Yanming escorted Bi Qiaoan back to the tent, he took out a paper bag from inside and handed it to him.
