Watching Zhou Cheng's departing figure, Shi Caixia frowned, and she looked at him, opening her mouth as if to speak.
At that moment, she felt a sense of tragic grandeur.
Although Zhou Cheng is a bit unreliable, it cannot be denied that it is precisely because of his dedication to his post that the current order in City C can be maintained.
With such natural disasters and man-made calamities, the mortality rate among those stationed there is simply too high. Why shouldn't they be respected by others?
Shi Caixia stood up with red eyes, watching Zhou Cheng's back as he faced the wind and snow.
So majestic it makes you want to cry.
Next, the young garrison officer who had come to deliver the message finished speaking.
"The 500 men who came from the front have all been killed. Not a single one of them made it to our side alive."
Shi Caixia: "."
Zhou Cheng: "." Where's the promised tragic and heart-wrenching drama?
The next moment, Zhou Cheng reacted with a serious expression.
"Something's definitely up to no good. Quick, take me to see this."
Then they fled the tent as if escaping.
He led the small garrison to investigate, and as soon as they left, Zhong Ziming slipped into Shi Caixia's tent.
Upon seeing Zhong Ziming, Shi Caixia encrypted the contract she had written on her computer and closed it.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Zimo smiled and said:
"What? It's been kept secret like this for a while now? People who know us say it's because of the nature of our jobs, but people who don't know us would think we've broken up."
Shi Caixia lowered her head and smiled somewhat shyly:
"Protecting our clients' privacy is our most basic professional ethic, as our mentor said."
She had no intention of breaking up with Zhong Ziming, and even if Ma Yongchun and Qin Zhen broke up, Shi Caixia still didn't have that thought.
However, professional ethics are professional ethics. Qin Zhen sent Shi Caixia to serve Hua Mi, so Shi Caixia had to keep the contents of Hua Mi's contract confidential.
No one is allowed to see it.
Seeing her blushing like a young girl, Zhong Ziming sat down next to her, looked at the locked computer screen, and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"You really are something. So you're working for Hua Mi now?"
Shi Caixia frowned slightly. She didn't know why, maybe it was her imagination, or maybe it was because she and Zhong Ziming were on opposing sides, but she always felt that Zhong Ziming was trying to find out about her.
Or perhaps, by inquiring about her, they could uncover Hua Mi's supply routes?
“It’s not bad to work for her, but she’s not as easy to get along with as she seems on the surface; she’s a very dangerous person.”
Seeing that Shi Caixia remained silent, Zhong Ziming continued.
“Look at her, she can chat with anyone and move freely among the garrison troops. Those garrison troops are people who live on the edge of a knife, unlike us. We are all civilized people.”
"Hua Mi has a close relationship with the garrison, which shows that she is also ruthless. You need to be careful in everything you do while you are by her side."
"I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid you'll be like you were in school, careless and unable to judge people, foolishly working for others and ending up with nothing to show for it."
At first, Shi Caixia could listen to what Zhong Ziming was saying, but the more he talked, the more uncomfortable she felt.
She brushed away Zhong Ziming's hands that were rubbing her head and said to him very seriously,
"Senior brother, actually, Ami is a very nice person. She is very approachable and not as repulsive as you say."
At first, Shi Caixia also felt that Hua Mi was difficult to approach.
The fact that a woman can move freely among a large group of strong garrison troops and maintain such a close relationship with them is itself proof of her ability.
However, after getting to know Hua Mi, Shi Caixia discovered that although Hua Mi had a low moral standard, she was not an immoral person.
Moreover, Hua Mi is very easy to get along with. As long as you don't play tricks on her, she is quite generous to the people around her.
Everyone around her was incredibly generous, because Hua Mi gave them so much.
Even Shi Caixia, who only helped Hua Mi draft a contract, received 10 chocolate cakes, 30 tomato-flavored self-heating hot pots, two large sacks of caramel-flavored melon seeds, a large sack of mechanical pencils, a large sack of water-light whitening BB cream, and a large sack of heated insoles in Shi Caixia's tent.
The sack was so full that the zipper couldn't be closed because of Hua Mi's stuffing.
So, Hua Mi is not as difficult to get along with as Zhong Zimo said.
Once you figure out her temperament, she's incredibly easy to get along with.
Zhong Ziming's face darkened.
"You've always been one to judge people by their appearance, and it seems you still haven't shaken off this habit."
"If you have any questions, ask me more often. The situation is so chaotic, and you don't have much of a sense of the big picture, so you'll definitely need to ask me more questions. Right now, who else can you trust besides me?"
Shi Caixia kept her head down and didn't speak. She and Zhong Ziming were studying under the same tutor. He was her senior and also her boyfriend.
Logically speaking, having lost her parents and family, the only person she should trust most is Zhong Ziming.
She was indeed naive, lacking Zhong Ziming's intelligence and boldness.
Her advisor often said that she wasn't as bold as her senior, nor did she have his courage.
"but."
Shi Caixia said in a very low voice,
"We are now each serving our own masters, and it is our professional ethics to stay true to our duties and not disclose our employers' privacy."
She couldn't see the big picture, and she didn't have any lofty ambitions; she was just a small cog in the machine, a law graduate.
Her goal has always been simple and clear: to make a living.
Leaking an employer's privacy is a breach of professional ethics, and a person without professional ethics will find it difficult to be hired anywhere.
This is the most basic thing.
Zhong Ziming's gaze gradually turned cold.
"Shi Caixia, do you want to break up with me? Right now, I'm just a boyfriend who cares about you and hopes that you can tell me anything. I hope you won't have any secrets from me."
"You need to understand that Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng's deal might harm Xiangcheng. As someone who knows about this, you're unwilling to tell your boyfriend a single word?"
"Tell me, maybe I can help you think of a way to stop Hua Mi and Zhou Cheng's deal."
Shi Caixia pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.
She insisted on not saying a single word about Hua Mi.
Whether it would endanger City C or not, Shi Caixia didn't know, even though the contract she drafted involved a large number of weapons and supplies.
All she knew was that this was her job: writing contracts, explaining their contents, and revising them based on the employer's feedback.
"Shi Caixia, I am very disappointed in you."
Zhong Ziming left indignantly. Shi Caixia, who had always been obedient to him and looked at him with admiration, was like a tough nut to crack, showing no sign of softening.
This was something Zhong Ziming hadn't expected.
As soon as he stepped out of Shi Caixia's tent, he saw a group of garrison soldiers lining up in front of another tent.
Those stationed there received weapons.
Practice your handwriting! Practice your handwriting! The teacher says every day that Little Meimei's handwriting is ugly. Ugh, I'm so busy!
