Chapter 49: Graduation Season (Part 2)

  Gong Qian, who was already confused, said unwillingly: "Tian Miao Miao, I really don't understand you. What do you mean? You obviously don't like this person, so why are you competing with me?" She didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and spoke directly.

  "You weren't looking for me today, but I was going to look for you to talk about this matter. As for arguing with you, where do we even start? With regards to Gao Xiang, when have you ever been serious, Miss Gong? You just played around, but since it's just a game, why can't I play along? Is that fair?" Tian Miao Miao perfectly mimicked Zhang Tong's calm and collected tone, making Gong Qian so angry she wanted to jump over and punch her.

  "What do you mean? Who played, why are you talking about me like that? Gao Xiang doesn't have a girlfriend, and I don't have a boyfriend. What's wrong with us being together? Why did you use fake wine to trick me last time and not only didn't feel guilty but also kept causing trouble for me, Tian Miao Miao. If you liked him, why didn't you make a move earlier? Don't you think what you're doing is despicable?" Gong Qian was so angry that she couldn't maintain her usual basic politeness anymore.

  "Gong Qian, I'm going. I've said it ten thousand times. I'm also a victim. How was I supposed to know that the wine sold to me on the 17th was fake? What's called despicable is when you have an ulterior motive, playing with someone's heart, giving them some sweetness in private, but as soon as there are other people around, you quickly kick them away, afraid that others will find out about your relationship and tarnish the reputation of the Provincial Politics and Law Committee Secretary's daughter. You're virtuous and elegant in public, but flirtatious and promiscuous in private. People like you have a nice-sounding title: Heartless Seductress."

  Gong Qian's face turned blue and white with rage, the veins on her hand bulged out, and she shouted: "I didn't!"

  She shouted, Tian Miao also shouted: "I know you can endure a lot, you can understand the bottom of all your classmates in the training class. You can accurately take care of the two young masters who will be your superiors and the political alliance of your family in the future. With such a family background, such a temperament, and such calculations, you are not just playing around, but really capable, how could that poor and white little rascal Gong Da become your boyfriend? I'm afraid your dad would be the first to beat them up! Anyway, Tian Miao didn't pretend to be a lady anymore. The vicious words came out of her mouth one after another. Gong Qian's face turned red with anger.

  "You think I'm some kind of fool. I never thought that way. But you, you're playing both sides against each other. Why did you have to stir up trouble between us? Don't think I don't know what's going on. At the police station, the director is your uncle and everyone there favors you. Not only do the young police officers and auxiliary police officers fawn over you, but even that Zhang Tong has to rely on you."

  "You used to look down on Gao Xiang when he was just a small cop, but now that he's in the special recruitment class, his treatment has changed. His status is different now. No one is fawning all over you like they used to. You must feel unbalanced inside, suddenly discovering that the little cop you used to look down on has become a precious treasure. You feel unbalanced inside, and someone has taken away the toy you didn't want. You'll stop at nothing to get it back, even if it means tearing it to shreds so no one else can have it. That's what you're thinking, right? I'm a heartless woman, but what are you, a green tea bitch? Ugh."

  It is said that a woman's talent for quarreling is infinite. It can never be fully utilized; as long as there is potential, it can always reach a deeper level. Gong Qian made Tian Miao Miao so stimulated that she broke through the sixth... ah, and also broke her limit.

  "Wow, wow, awesome (17K) forcing King Min you said I would let people silence me,"

  "Can see such a violent scene. Just shut up if you're going to shut up. Tsk tsk, listen to the heart machine bitch, green tea bitch..."

  In the depths of the trees behind. Two shameless rotten women are taking videos with their mobile phones. It's just missing someone holding a box of popcorn.

  "Gong Qian, when will you, a princess who always looks down on others, be able to see the grassroots police station? You've never understood. How did I and Zhang Tong, a couple of nobodies from humble backgrounds, get into the special recruitment class? Let me tell you, it's because we fought for it. Especially Gao Xiang and Zhang Tong, they almost risked their lives for this opportunity during the 4.12 case. Have any of you, who are all from within the system, or second-generation officials, or rich kids, ever been serious about training? Look at how they mocked us during that assessment."

  I knew it. In the 4.12 case, I was just a burden, a drag. So I worked hard to practice and study desperately, but by the time I noticed something was wrong with you two, it was already too late. Since I saw it, I couldn't ignore it. I won't let you play with Gao Xiang's feelings like this. I must break you two up. Because Gao Xiang is really excellent, and you're not worthy of him at all."

  The two women scolded each other, pointing at their noses, and then suddenly fell silent, just like a football referee blowing the halftime whistle to prepare for a break. The red-faced and thick-necked second woman was digesting what the other had said. They seemed rational again, staring at each other with wide eyes, both panting with anger, but neither spoke up. After a while, Gong Qian finally broke the silence and asked: "Tian Miao Miao, is this really what you think?"

  "It's also what you think in your heart," Tian Miao Miao replied.

  "Shut up, you sound better than singing, green tea bitch, don't deny that you like Gao Xiang."

  "Even if I like someone, it's genuine liking, unlike you who are a heartless flirt, playing with men's emotions all day."

  Gong Qian could no longer hold back her anger, "Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson and let you know the severity of messing with me." With that, she threw a punch at Tian Miao Miao...

  The originally strange and quiet battlefield is smoking again. Wang Min and Ye are no longer able to hold back, they have taken action. If they don't come out now, it will be too late.

  Tian Miao dodged a punch with ease, ready to throw another at Gong Qian's face when she was grabbed from behind. Gong Qian saw the perfect opportunity and prepared to take advantage of it, but she too was caught from behind.

  It wasn't easy for Ye and Wang Min to finally separate the two, with each of them holding onto one person. Wang Min held onto Gong Qian tightly and dragged her back and forth, "Stop kicking, it's so far away, I'll die if I lose you, hurry up and follow sister back home."

  "Come on, miss, hurry up! You're using all your strength to hold onto Tian Miao's waist. You two are almost putting on a show of tragic love, waiting for people to gather and watch. You're both thousand-year-old foxes, what's the point of acting out a romantic tale with me? I'm begging you, let's go."

  Two groups of people, two places, Wang Min was like a hawk playing with a chick, opening her arms to block Gong Qian who still wanted to hit Tian Miao Miao. Gong Qian pushed her several times but she wouldn't let go. Exhausted, Wang Min weakly said: "How did it come to this? Two women fighting, you two must have thought of something, your brains are flooded! Luckily no one else saw, otherwise we'd lose face completely. How can you live with yourself in the future?"

  Gong Qian's sulky expression changed as Wang Min handed her a bottle of mineral water, twisted the cap and took a big gulp. Only then did she feel something was off, looking at Wang Min with suspicion: "Wait, why were you and Ye Duoi together over there? What were you two doing? How much did you see? Stand still, don't run."

  Ye leaned on Miao Miao's body, weakly saying: "Sister, I'm completely out of energy, it's all gone... Ah, I say Miao Miao, how come I didn't notice before? You're so charming. Quickly tell me, did you successfully steal Gao Xiang from me?"

  Tian Niu's performance was more normal than Gong Qian's, from start to finish she had the upper hand, so her IQ reserve was relatively sufficient. With a sly smile, she glanced at Ye Dui, who was scared out of his wits. This lady was not easy to mess with. Before he could even struggle to get up, Tian Niu pressed one foot on his knee bend and pinned his right hand behind his back. Then, with a press of her elbow, poor Ye Dui was easily knocked down by Tian Niu... Enraged, Ye Dui shouted: "Tian Niu, you're ruthless! You're treating me like a thief!"

  Tian Miao Miao smiled and pulled her up, embracing her tightly and said with a smile: "Female hooligan, tell me, what were you and Wang Min doing over there? Your whole body is soft and you still want to run away. If you don't explain clearly today, I'll take off your pants..."

  Tian Niu and Gong Qian parted on bad terms; Ye Dui and Wang Min's gossiping got out of hand, with no good outcome. As a result, the atmosphere in the last class that afternoon was surprisingly oppressive, oppressively eerie even.

  Finally, the bell rang for the end of class. The instructor on the podium said with emotion: "Alright, it's time to end the class. Congratulations, students, you have graduated. From now on, you are members of the people's police force. I hope you will uphold your principles, be honest and dedicated, and not bring shame to the uniform you wear. Class dismissed."

  A burst of cheers erupted from the classroom, books were thrown flying everywhere, students hugged each other in twos and threes, shouting loudly...

  The last night at the training base was lively, and the wealthy and arrogant special recruitment class directly set the venue for the dinner party at the same place where Gao Xiang had treated them to a meal before. This time, Ye Xiaojie didn't get a chance to show off, as Class Monitor Gong Qian and Deputy Class Monitor Zeng Cheng took the lead in booking the entire second floor of the restaurant. The special recruitment class's instructors and classmates all gathered together, with the best wine and the most expensive dishes, for a night of feasting and revelry.

  Ban Zuochen is a local of Linfen, and can be considered as playing on his home turf. As the deputy director who usually has a very low presence, he rarely shows up, but today he made an exception and attended the banquet with full etiquette, giving off the vibe of paving the way for the Linfen office.

  After dinner, the young people didn't stop. Wang Min and Ye Dui proposed that everyone move to the multi-functional hall to turn on the lights and audio equipment for a party. With the stage set, there couldn't be a lack of programs, so the two organizers rushed everyone to quickly come up with performances.

  Gong Qian was the first to be called out, and as the class leader, she also knew that she couldn't hide. She walked confidently onto the stage, took the microphone and said: "Thank you everyone for your support during our training period. This position of class leader was directly appointed by the instructor, I won't lie to you all, from childhood to now, I've never held a position as a class cadre..."

  Gong Qian's words brought a burst of laughter from the audience, and she continued with a smile: "In these days, as the class leader, I have also done some work, and there are many shortcomings. My own ability is limited, and what I haven't done yet, I hope everyone will be more tolerant and understanding. At this farewell moment, I want to sing a song, but I won't sing alone, I want to invite someone to sing with me."
