Chapter Twenty-Four: Drill Notice

  Nanjing, Central Military Academy training ground.

  Instructor Zheng Rong held up a notice and said to the students of the first student regiment: "There are still seven months until your graduation. Two months later, our student regiment will conduct a small-scale military exercise with two battalions from the Central Guidance General Headquarters to inspect your learning outcomes. The Guidance General Headquarters will be led by General Gui Yongqing himself. The Chairman will also come to observe the exercise at that time. I hope you can all perform well. I won't say more, I have confidence in you and our first student regiment because you are the best students I've ever seen!"

  "We will never disappoint the instructors' expectations, we will do our best to bring glory to the school and to the principal!" The students shouted excitedly. Next, Zheng Rong began to explain some details of the exercise, roughly meaning that this was a defensive battle in a large-scale war game, where the student battalion was mainly responsible for defense, and the instructor team was responsible for offense. How to defend effectively and strike back at the enemy was the key to the assessment.

  Wang Mingyu smiled to himself, this kind of drill he had participated in many times, all were just a walk-through exercise, without much significance. However, when he heard that the principal was coming, his heart still stirred with excitement, a famous person, the second big shot he had seen in this era, General Zhang Zhongzhong was the first, and the Chairman of the Committee was the second, probably at that time people like He Shangjiang and Bai Fu will also come together.

  A small plan was formed in Wang Mingyu's mind, but to achieve it, he had to intensively strengthen the training of Sun Dabao and others during this period.

  So this Sunday, Wang Mingyu called out Sun Dabao and others to discuss the special training. Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the school gate, they met Wang Jie and Sun Xue.

  Sun Xue, Wang Mingyu met, and didn't think it was strange. But when he met Wang Jie, he was surprised, not expecting Wang Jie to return so soon. Looking at Wang Jie's smile, Wang Mingyu smiled too, knowing that Wang Jie hadn't let him down.

  Wang Mingyu opened his arms to hug Wang Jie, but unexpectedly, Sun Xue thought Wang Mingyu was going to hug her instead. Her heart skipped a beat as she lowered her head and her face suddenly turned red. She thought: "Why is Big Brother Wang being so proactive all of a sudden? And in front of so many friends too! Ah, I'm dying from embarrassment, should I let him hug me or not?"

  Others who saw Wang Jie were also very happy and laughed, Sun Xue thought they were laughing at her, and she was even more nervous. But after a while, Wang Mingyu didn't hug her, and just as she was wondering, she heard Wang Mingyu say: "You're finally back, I almost died! Let's go to De Feng Building, we'll talk there!"

  Wang Jie laughed and said: "The first time I came back, I hugged Young Master, but this time, he scolded me! This time, I dare to go up!"

  Wang Mingyu slapped Wang Jie with his hand and said: "You little rascal, you're so nosy!"

  Sun Xue looked at Wang Mingyu hugging not him, but the man who had been staring at him outside just now. Her heart suddenly became angry and she immediately hated Wang Jie, thinking that it was already bad enough that he had stolen her hug, how unreasonable!

  Wang Mingyu led Wang Jie in front of Sun Xue and said: "Xiao Xue, this is my family's Wang Jie, from now on he will be your brother!"

  Sun Xue was annoyed and hummed a sound, then stopped talking. Wang Mingyu was still puzzled, what's going on? Could it be that they know each other?

  Wang Jie's face turned a bit red, in the past when he followed Wang Mingyu, there was a habit of staring at beautiful women, this time it was a mistake to look away, unexpectedly it might be Wang Mingyu's wife, isn't that his own young madam? This time it's really a slip of the foot and a thousand years of regret.

  Wang Jie is still a worldly person, after being embarrassed for a while, he said: "Young master, is this the young madam?", one sentence made Sun Xue, who was just angry, blush again and glare at Wang Jie before turning around, looking very shy, but she also perked up her ears to listen to what Wang Mingyu had to say.

  Wang Mingyu was caught off guard by Wang Jie's question, but in fact he didn't know that everyone already considered Sun Xue to be his girlfriend, it's just that Wang Mingyu himself was still covering his ears and stealing the bell, unable to break through this layer of paper.

  This time, Wang Mingyu hadn't spoken yet, but Sun Dabao and others beside him said: "Yes, Wang Jie, it's about what happened after we parted ways last time. Hero Mingyu saved the beauty and brought back the beautiful woman!"

  "Wow, young master, I didn't expect that you'd bring a wife back home from school! Old Master will definitely be overjoyed!" Wang Jie was somewhat perplexed as to why the young master seemed like a completely different person, one he barely recognized. The old young master wouldn't have dared mention this without blushing, and he wasn't even a newcomer. Was it possible that the young master had changed his ways? Had he switched to a pure and innocent route? Nevertheless, Wang Jie was still delighted, for he knew that no matter how much Wang Mingyu changed, he would always be his true and genuine young master.

  "Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine by me. I've given up anyway, Xiaoxue is mine, what's the big deal?" Wang Mingyu said with a bit of a defeated tone and a hint of anger. "Nothing, Mingyu, we all know what's going on, it's just you who's clueless. We're all worried about you," Li Xianyu said with a chuckle, patting Wang Mingyu on the shoulder. "Let's go, let's go get drunk! Today is a rare day that Wang Jie is back, we should make the most of it and have a good time. But I want to say one thing, from now on, when we're at the wine house, let's not discuss anything else, just in case there are ears on the other side of the wall!" Wang Mingyu and the others nodded in agreement as they headed towards Defeng Building, into a private room.

  "For Wang Jie's return, let's have a drink!" Wang Mingyu raised his glass and said "Thank you, young master. I also wish the young master success in his career and a harmonious marriage with his wife that will last for a hundred years!" Wang Jie said with a smile, because Sun Xue still hasn't forgiven him yet. "Let's all drink together" he said, and everyone downed their drinks in one gulp.

  "Master, why don't you tell us about your heroic deeds of saving the beauty?" Wang Jie urged Wang Mingyu to speak after drinking wine. Wang Mingyu had nothing to say, and finally, Li Xianyu began to vividly recount what happened at that time.

  Wang Mingyu was getting more and more shocked as he listened, thinking to himself, "When did I become so great? When did I have such strong convictions? What's all this nonsense about being outraged and indignant?" And what really got his goat was Li Xianyu, who actually said that Wang had been furious at the time, with his hair standing on end. But Wang remembered being very calm and collected back then! "You just wait, you little scamp, you'll get yours!" So Wang Mingyu narrowed his eyes and smiled at Li Xianyu, who was completely oblivious to the fact that he was spouting nonsense left and right, thinking he was being incredibly eloquent.

  Wang Jieyi heard Li Xianyu stop and hastily said "You little rascal, hurry up and speak, when we get back, I'll tell our master about this"

  Just as Sun Xue laughed with joy, Wang Mingyu's face turned black, and Li Xianyu forced himself to finish telling the story of what happened at that time and some things about the past six months.

  Wang Mingyu looked at Li Xianyu and said, "Starting tomorrow, you few will receive my special training! Wang Jie, follow me, the rest of you return to school, let Da Bao and Lin Wen send Xiao Xue back home!"

  Sun Xue walked away with a smile, although she was a bit annoyed with Wang Jie today, but she knew that more than anything, she was grateful. If it weren't for him, who knows when the window of opportunity would have been broken. What she was most worried about now was Wang Mingyu's father, because just now Wang Jie had told her that they were a wealthy family and definitely valued social status matching. She walked away with a mix of happiness and sadness.
