The next day, Shi Man came to the army to work as usual.
In the morning, Chief Lu even called personally to ask if Shi Man was adapting to life in the army.
It was not difficult for her to deal with these things.
Chief Lu was very assured of her ability, so he did not say anything else. He only gave a few instructions before hanging up.
Outside, the assistant had already come to report for the third time that Instructor Chu insisted on coming to see him.
Lu Jun’s face darkened as he sat back behind his desk. His eyes were as black as ink. “Let her in.”
Only then did the assistant dare to let her go upstairs.
The Lu family’s manor was divided into four villas. The center was where Lu Jun lived, and the rest was where the rest of the Lu family lived.
Chu Yue used to be a regular here and was very familiar with many of the servants and butlers of the Lu family. However, this was the first time she was stopped in the front hall and was not even allowed to enter the Lu family’s villa.
Chu Yue endured the whispers of the people around her and went up to the fourth floor with a solemn expression. She raised her hand and slowly knocked on the door.
“Come in.” The simple voice complemented the style of the house, making it look even more solemn.
Chu Yue subconsciously lowered her breathing, but her heart, which she had tried her best to suppress, became even more frantic.
She slowly pushed open the door and saw Lu Jun sitting in the study at a glance. She subconsciously took a deep breath.
“What is it?” Lu Jun’s eyes were fixed on her, as if he was silently exerting pressure on her.
Chu Yue was very afraid of Lu Jun’s strict look.
The days of being reprimanded by Lu Jun flashed before her eyes again.
When Chu Yue was still an ordinary female soldier in the army, she had been sent to work under Lu jun by chance. At that time, although her ability was outstanding, she was not considered the cream of the crop. However, she was considered to have good aptitude among young women.
At that time, Lu Jun did not have any female students, so he had the idea of taking in a female soldier to train under him. That was why Chu Yue could hold her own now.
But in reality, Lu Jun had not only given Chu Yue enviable opportunities, but also endless hard work and sweat.
It was not easy to complete a mission to the satisfaction of the Lu Jun.
Chu Yue had already lost count of how many times she had been injured and how much blood she had shed. She only knew that there were still countless wounds on her body that could not be removed.
These were all her hard work in exchange for a compliment from Lu Jun.
However, now, Shi Man actually didn’t need to do anything and easily obtained the extraordinary favor of the army.
How could Chu Yue not hate her?
She had gathered her courage to come to the door today to ask for an explanation.
She had spent a lot of effort to stabilize her position. She could not give it up to others!
“Teacher.” Chu Yue calmed down, and her racing heart gradually calmed down. “My injuries have already healed. Can I return to the army to continue working?”
Lu Jun’s deep eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water. “There’s no hurry. There are still many things you don’t understand.”
Chu Yue frowned and asked in confusion, “Teacher, what do you want me to understand?”
However, Lu Jun refused to elaborate. He turned his chair around and turned his back to her. His gaze landed on the beautiful scenery of the morning outside the window. He said calmly, “Go back. If you don’t understand, 1 can’t let you go back to work.”
In a place where no one could see, Chu Yue clenched her fists tightly. Her red eyes flickered with something bright. “Teacher, do you not plan to let me go back after you let Shi Man replace me? Are you… abandoning me?”
Lu Jun paused for a moment before turning around and saying, “Chu Yue, you’ve been by my side for many years. I remember that when I first saw you, you were a high-spirited girl who would never admit defeat. But look at you now! Don’t you understand?”
Chu Yue was slightly stunned. She lowered her head so that no one could see her emotions. One could only hear her muffled voice in the quiet study. “Teacher, have 1 changed, or have you gone crazy after seeing Shi Man? Let me tell you the truth. Ruan Yu and I went crazy this time because of Shi Man! Do you still want to put such a person in an important position?!”
“You brought it on yourself.”
Lu Jun narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up from his chair. He walked slowly to Chu Yue. The warm sunlight was blocked by him, and his tall shadow completely enveloped the trembling girl. “Chu Yue, I’m your teacher. 1 know you far better than everyone else. You don’t really think that I don’t know what kind of powder you have, do you?”
Chu Yue’s body trembled. Then, she looked up in disbelief and met Lu Jun’s disappointed eyes. “Teacher… I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Lu Jun sneered. “Chu Yue, power has already blinded your mind. If you don’t wake up soon, you will be consigned to eternal damnation. From the moment Shi Man arrived in the capital, I have been observing your actions. 1 didn’t stop you because I wanted you to wake up on your own. However, I didn’t expect you to be unwilling to let go and become even worse!”
As Lu Jun glared at her sternly, his eyes were filled with anger. “The soldiers under me should be open and aboveboard. They should know their limits and work hard to improve.. They shouldn’t learn all those unpresentable methods and rack their brains to deal with an innocent person!”
