Xie Minglei took his leave. He had come to persuade her in a personal capacity, and he was really reluctant to part with such a valuable asset. Now that she had made a better choice, he could only respect that decision.
Xie Minmin asked, "When are you reporting for duty? I'll come and see you off."
Zhu Fanfan hugged Xie Minmin: "Brother Xi Yan will pick me up tomorrow, and I will come back often."
Xie Minmin hugged Zhu Fanfan and patted her back to comfort her, saying, "When Uncle Ming comes over, you two can have a good chat. They've worked hard these past two days too."
Zhu Fanfan obediently replied, "I know."
My godparents have been helping out here these past few days, and they took several days off. Today is their day to return to work, so once they're back at work, they won't have time to be sad.
That evening, Ming Yunshu learned of Zhu Fanfan's decision and fully supported her, encouraging her to come back more often.
The next day, Xi Yan drove over to pick her up. Zhu Fanfan packed her things a little, and as soon as she opened the car door, she saw You Muqing inside. You Muqing looked unhappy when she saw Zhu Fanfan, snorted, and turned her head away.
After Zhu Fanfan went inside, Xi Yan explained, "You Muqing's teleportation ability is of great research value, so her application to join the Dragon Group was approved."
You Muqing said angrily, "I'm not like some people who are disloyal and just leave without a word or even a goodbye."
Zhu Fanfan asked, "You were quite popular in the army, what are you doing in the Dragon Group?"
Perhaps it was the environment that influenced her mindset, but You Muqing had always been very simple-minded, not very ambitious, and capable. She was well-suited for the military. Although the Dragon Group had the best treatment, based on her previous understanding of the Dragon Group, there was a lot of infighting and backstabbing. It was more like a microcosm of a 21st-century office. She wouldn't learn her lesson until she had been thoroughly humiliated.
You Muqing said angrily, "What's it to you? If you can come, so can I. Let me tell you, I've already applied to the team leader to be your assistant. Don't even think about getting rid of me."
Xi Yan, who was driving, explained, "You know, the team leader values talent."
Especially since this superpower is unique and can transfer damage, Fanfan really kept it a secret. If You Muqing hadn't revealed it, they wouldn't have known that this seemingly carefree little girl could even withstand the team leader's attacks. It seems that there are many hidden talents in the world.
Zhu Fanfan didn't know what to say. That's the problem with Grandpa Zhuge. As long as someone is talented, he can relax the requirements and even make any demands.
After arriving at school and taking her luggage to her room, You Muqing also took her things upstairs and stood right next to her. You Muqing said smugly, "You won't get rid of me."
Then, tilting her head back, she opened the door and went inside. Zhu Fanfan asked, "You're not really going to make her my assistant, are you?"
Xi Yan touched his nose: "I'll listen to the team leader. Whatever he says to arrange, I'll do. I'm just a team leader."
Most likely! After all, You Muqing's special ability is too rare. The team leader wished he could train her personally, but You Muqing firmly objected. If it weren't for being with Fanfan, she wouldn't have come. The team leader thought You Muqing was too childish and willful, and only agreed because he was afraid she would change her mind.
After Zhu Fanfan arrived, Manman immediately approached him: "Fanfan, I've been staying in the group recently. The higher-ups have arranged for me to partner with you, using my fire ability to work with you in alchemy. You get ready first, and I'll take you to the alchemy group."
Upon hearing the noise, You Muqing hurriedly came out to follow, still saying, "Don't even think about abandoning me."
Full of curiosity, she asked, "You two know each other? Is she You Muqing, who recently arrived?"
She heard that a newcomer was able to withstand the team leader's attack, and the team leader was even injured afterwards, needing several days to recover. She had been wanting to meet him for a long time.
Zhu Fanfan looked at You Muqing: "You've been angry the whole way, haven't you calmed down yet?"
You Muqing looked at Zhu Fanfan with a hint of grievance: "You ignored me the whole way."
Zhu Fanfan said, "You've been humming and humming the whole way, completely ignoring me. How can I pay attention to you?"
Although You Muqing had been trained in the army for three years, her personality had not changed. She was still as innocent as a child, and everyone doted on her, so much so that she still had some naivety, and everything was written on her face.
You Muqing was still angry: "Then you promise to take me with you wherever you go from now on."
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Everyone is so nice to you, why are you so clingy to me?"
You Muqing said confidently, "The first full meal I ever ate in my life was paid for by you. I knew I could make the right choice by following you."
Zhu Fanfan retorted, "You can eat your fill in the army, so why don't you stay in the army?"
You Muqing said, "But my master told my fortune and said that the first person to give me a full meal is my benefactor. I should stick close to my benefactor or I will suffer a bloody disaster."
Zhu Fanfan: ...I guess you're being honest.
Manman asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid that if you tell Fanfan, he won't want to be your benefactor and shield you from trouble?"
You Muqing disagreed: "I don't want the class monitor to take the blame. I'm very capable."
Manman stopped teasing her: "Remember, strength is the most important thing in the Dragon Group. Maintain your strength."
The three of them arrived at the Pill Refining Group while talking, only to find the main gate tightly shut. Zhu Fanfan looked at the door and asked, "Should we go get the key?"
Manman sneered, "The keys in each group are different, but what they have in common is that it's assumed that each group keeps the key. Even the elders don't have it. There are no secrets in the Dragon Group. Maybe they felt that the group leader had suddenly demoted a sub-group leader, and some people were unhappy about it, so they wanted to give them a hard time."
The pills in the group are really not very good, only effective for those of low level. But for some reason, the people are all arrogant and domineering. Since Elder Dan passed away, Elder Li has taken over the position. However, Elder Li only focuses on discipline, making them calm down and refine pills. The rest is left to the group leaders to research on their own. None of the three group leaders are willing to submit to the others.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "It's locked from the inside. What kind of punishment will we receive if we break the door?"
You Muqing said, "I'll do it."
Zhu Fanfan pressed him down with one hand: "That's a passive skill, go stand aside."
Manman said, "I'm not very familiar with the Dragon Group's rules. You wait here while I send a message to my sister."
After saying that, he opened the communication and explained the situation. After hanging up, he said, "My sister said that the Dragon Group's door looks like it's made of wood, but it's actually made of refined steel and contains a lot of materials from the supernatural world. It's generally not damaged, so there's no clear rule about what kind of punishment would be for damaging the door. As for the rest of the Dan Group, they don't really follow the group's rules, but no one has brought it up, so the group leader doesn't know yet."
Zhu Fanfan understood: it's okay if the door is damaged, it's okay if people are punished; at most, everyone will be punished equally.
