The atmosphere was deadlocked for a while, no one spoke, and finally Faris let out a long sigh.
She slowly explained the reason: "Actually, this is what happened."
"Commander Wu might have been away from the base on a mission yesterday, so he didn't know. Just yesterday, the regiment began preparing for the international competition. The regiment commander even announced that this year, unlike previous years, they were planning to nominate candidates from the non-elite squads."
"The captain was so excited after hearing the news that she stayed up all night, getting up late at night to study for a spot in the international competition. But this morning, a rumor got out that the captain had already nominated the contestants, so the captain has been making inquiries since early morning."
"It turned out that the designated spot belonged to Commander Oh. At first, the captain didn't quite believe it because she had always wanted to participate in international competitions, just to fulfill a dream. But now that her dream has been shattered, she's very discouraged."
"But she said she had a good idea. If Commander Wu could give her a spot on the team, she'd rather be under your command and find a way to enter the international competition. But the captain just wasn't being candid. I couldn't stand it, so I deliberately argued with her. Commander Wu, please don't take it. What I said just now was nonsense. I'm sorry!"
"That's how it is."
After saying that, Faris stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Jie to express her apology.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why everyone on Team Hummingbird was acting strangely today, and I didn't realize it was because of this. But I haven't heard from Senior yet, so how can I be sure she really arranged for me to participate?"
After listening to this, Wu Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you, Faris. Let's just ignore those jokes and let them go. But thank you very much. I think you deliberately used this method to divert everyone's attention in order to maintain the relationship between the captain and me and prevent things from getting awkward."
"To be honest, I haven't received any order from the team leader to assign me to the competition yet. But if the team leader really arranges for me to go, it's not impossible to arrange for Captain Luo to join the team. I think having a substitute during the competition is acceptable."
After hearing what Wu Jie said, Luo Jing, who had a stiff expression and was still very nervous, finally showed some expression and breathed a sigh of relief.
After thanking him three times, he said, "Well, Commander Wu, the reason I really want to participate is because I promised my brother that I would let him see me on TV. Since the day of the competition is my brother's birthday, I want to give this to him as a birthday present. I am extremely sorry for taking up Commander Wu's precious substitute spot because of my willful thoughts."
Wu Jie smiled helplessly and said, "Alas, for things like this, you should just say it directly. There's no need to be like this. Besides, the order from the regiment hasn't come down yet, and I can't guarantee that we will be able to participate. So don't have too high expectations. After all, in previous years, elite teams have always represented the team to participate. I can't guarantee that it will succeed."
As soon as Wu Jie finished speaking, a messenger suddenly ran up to him and saluted him.
"Hello, sir! The commander ordered me to notify you to come to the commander's office!"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Okay, I understand, thank you!"
As soon as the messenger left, Wu Jie was speechless. Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao.
"By the way, Commander Wu, if this works out, before we leave tomorrow, I would like to treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude! Please do come, Commander Wu!" Unexpectedly, Luo Jing would work so hard to give her brother a surprise on his birthday.
Wu Jie wanted to refuse, but he had to take the words back.
"Okay then, you decide the place and time. I'll report to the commander's office first." Wu Jie had no choice but to agree.
"Thank you, Commander Wu!" Luo Jing smiled.
…
When Wu Jie left, he heard Luo Jing and Faris bickering with each other, but it was not a real quarrel, but rather a bickering like close friends, which was very heartwarming to watch.
Come to the commander's office.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
Stepping into the group leader's office, there are neatly arranged filing cabinets on the left and a huge floor-to-ceiling window on the right. It was evening, and the winter glow had an indescribable flavor, which set off the group leader's jade-white cheeks, like a piece of unpolished jade emitting red light, which was intoxicating.
Mingxi was holding a document, reading it intently. She raised her right hand and supported her cheek. It seemed that nothing in the world could move her. She looked at the document in her hand intently, without the slightest hesitation.
This is the first time I have seen such a calm senior sister. When she was in school before, she was also decisive and resolute. After becoming the head of the group, she had a calm but non-intimidating military aura.
"Senior, mission accomplished."
"Well, I've reviewed the briefing. It was done very well. Another A-level evaluation."
"That's because Senior is in command!"
"Stop talking nonsense. I haven't seen you for a few days. When did you learn to be so bureaucratic?"
"Haha, by the way, senior sister, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Wu Jie suddenly remembered the abnormality of Auroramon.
"You say." She thought to herself, he probably wants me to add more burden to him again. During this period of time, Wu Jie has been strongly demanding to increase the intensity of the tasks.
But the intensity of the mission cannot be increased at will. Now Auroramon's behavior has become abnormal, and the front line is becoming increasingly tense. The comfortable days are coming to an end. She doesn't want to lose a general at this critical juncture.
"A dozen days ago, I noticed that Auroramon was becoming increasingly belligerent. Recently, its behavior has become increasingly aggressive. It seems...it seems..."
Hearing Wu Jie's words, Mingxi immediately became alert. She had the front-line battle reports and a lot of data sent back by the war dancers, so she was able to keenly perceive the unusual movements of Auroramon.
She was now very curious about how Wu Jie had discovered this. Wu Jie had always been involved in localized operations and had never been on the front lines. Most of his missions were small-scale combat missions. Could it be that Wu Jie had the ability to see the big picture from the smallest details?
"Seems like what?" she asked immediately.
Wu Jie didn't rush to speak, but took out a few pieces of densely written paper from his briefcase and walked in front of Mingxi.
Seeing Wu Jie approaching, she subconsciously wanted to step back. After realizing her actions, she suddenly laughed at herself, "What am I doing? Am I still worried about what my junior is going to do to me?"
So she returned to her seat and waited patiently for Wu Jie's next words.
"Senior, look."
