Jingyue fell silent. However, the Peng brothers saw through Jingyue's intentions. The eldest brother, Peng Jian, quickly said, "Niannian, that big shot is handsome and so powerful. Don't you have any feelings for him?"
Wang Chao chuckled, his tone dripping with sarcasm, "Jian, weren't you and Niannian lovers before? Why does it seem like you're desperate to sell her off now?"
As they chatted about these trivial yet intriguing topics, their walk became somewhat easier. They encountered several more similar signposts along the way, so this time they easily emerged from Huai Mountain and returned to human territory.
Jingyue compiled her exploration experience into a detailed report and submitted it to her superior, General Rein, the head of the exploration department.
The next day, while Chu Nian was still on vacation, she was called to Raine's office for a talk.
The main topic of the conversation was her work in the exploration department over the past six months, which had not yielded ideal results, so they planned to transfer her to some clerical positions.
Of course, this is just an observation phase. If she performs well in the monster horde, she can return to the exploration team.
In addition, because of the low risk factor of civilian work, she can no longer enjoy the material conditions previously provided to her by the military. She has to hand over the apartment closest to Huai Mountain, and her family will be allocated another apartment a little further away from Huai Mountain.
When the original owner was alive, she performed exceptionally well during the last monster wave, so she didn't receive this transfer order. However, Chu Nian didn't kill many monsters using the original owner's abilities. Moreover, she had diarrhea during this mission, so she not only didn't play a significant role but also hindered the team. It was foreseeable that she would be transferred from her original position.
Chu Nian had no regrets, except for a little worry about Qi Meili. She felt that as long as she didn't die, Jing Yue would continue to hate Qi Meili and might find an opportunity to kill her.
There has never been anyone in the history of the military who joined the exploration team and was then expelled, and who didn't even make it into the monster commando team, but went directly to the civilian department.
Only those who are injured on duty are subject to such transfers. However, because of their meritorious service, they are not required to hand over their houses near Huaishan. Instead, they receive an extra disability allowance every month.
So when this transfer order came out, the entire Exploration Department was quite shocked, and afterwards the entire military knew that there was someone named Wu Nian in the Exploration Department.
As she walked through the military office area, everyone was pointing and whispering about Chu Nian, and the gazes directed at her were all strange. Qi Meili felt very uncomfortable seeing this.
She didn't say anything in front of Chu Nian, but turned around and went to find Jing Yue, questioning her about how the report was written and why the superiors transferred Wu Nian out of the Exploration Department.
Jingyue said with a hint of helplessness, "I wrote the report based on the facts. You should know very well what Niannian has been doing lately. Everyone has a lot of complaints about her. I can't lie to my superiors for her sake! You should know that if this is found out, I will be court-martialed."
Military reports are not child's play; they cannot be falsified. Her statement is entirely correct.
Qi Meili could only leave dejectedly.
Jing Yue did write a lot of negative things about Wu Nian this time, without straying too far from the truth. She just felt that if Wu Nian continued to go on missions with their team, she would definitely encounter the male lead and that handsome young man again. In any case, she didn't like Wu Nian getting too close to these two outstanding men.
After Wu Nian became a clerk, she would be confined to the office all day, making it unlikely she would encounter those two outstanding men again. Moreover, staying in the office would render her special abilities ineffective, and in the eyes of others, Wu Nian would simply be a useless person kicked out of the exploration department.
An unremarkable person will naturally not be attractive to the opposite sex.
She had a good plan, but little did she know that as soon as Chu Nian sat down at the desk assigned to her, someone who could only be seen by her sat down opposite her.
Chu Nian transmitted her voice to him, "My house near Huai Mountain has been confiscated. Would it be alright if my parents moved to Huai Mountain to live in the future?"
Lin Jingting smiled warmly and replied, "Okay."
Chu Nian: "Can their safety be guaranteed? Those little demons..."
Lin Jingting: "They are all my senior's underlings. Since they are your parents, they are all family with us. We would only look after each other, why would we hurt them?"
Chu Nian added, "Their bodies are greatly affected by nuclear radiation, which has impacted their lifespans. You can send them some medicinal herbs that they can use to help them recover their health."
Lin Jingting: "Okay."
Seeing him sitting there, smiling at her with a strange look in his eyes—his good looks combined with that expression were truly captivating—Chu Nian said helplessly, "I've given you the mecha and the warship, and even assigned you two skilled pilots. Why aren't you going on a world tour? What are you wasting time with me here?"
Lin Jingting: "I want you to come with me."
Chu Nian: "I'm not going."
Lin Jingting: "Is it interesting to sit here all day being ordered around and bossed around?"
Chu Nian: "It's pointless. But it's my job, so I have to calm down and finish it."
Lin Jingting scoffed, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Chu Nian: "Duty."
Lin Jingting: "As long as you have enough strength, all responsibilities are meaningless."
Chu Nian: "You'll only truly grow up when you understand the meaning of responsibility."
Upon hearing the word "grown up," Lin Jingting's lips twitched for a long time.
Lin Jingting: "I've only recently come to understand something."
Chu Nian asked, "What is it?"
Lin Jingting: "Your timeline is different from mine, isn't it!"
Chu Nian smiled gently.
Lin Jingting said with a hint of pleading, "Come on a round-the-world trip with me, and I can grant you one request."
Chu Nian: "I have to work." She didn't want to go outside; there was nothing but a bunch of monsters, and the air was so bad.
Lin Jingting: "I'll provide accommodation and protection for your parents, so what's wrong with you spending some time with me?"
Chu Nian sighed and finally said, "Why don't you go for a walk outside first, and if you find a place with beautiful scenery, then invite me to go with you, okay?"
Lin Jingting's eyes lit up as she said, "You mean what you say?"
Chu Nian nodded.
Lin Jingting left immediately, beaming with joy.
Chu Nian sighed helplessly, hoping that this guy wouldn't be too disappointed by the situation outside!
When Chu Nian got home from get off work that evening, she found two transformed demons loitering around her front door. Meanwhile, Wu's parents were packing their belongings inside the apartment building, having been given three days by the military to move out.
Upon seeing the two demons, Chu Nian asked, "Who sent you?"
