Chapter 145: Chapter 78: Invited to Lecture

During the company’s consolidation and overhaul period, everyone just carried out their regular training.

Life was quite comfortable, and during this time, Gu Xiaoxi made significant improvements to her cultivation and Inner Strength.

With increased Inner Strength and Spiritual Power, she walked with a burst of wind, her body and mind active and her spirits high.

One day, after finishing training, she returned to the dormitory following dinner for some self-study.

Like usual, Gu Xiaoxi took a bath with Song Jingyi, changed clothes, and then used her computer to look up exam materials, preparing for all sorts of military courses, readying for the military subject level-two test next month. She had already passed level one before this.

Li Jing wasn’t much of a talker, especially towards Gu Xiaoxi, whom she mostly ignored.

It was well known that Song Jingyi and Gu Xiaoxi were tight.

No matter how much Li Jing disliked Gu Xiaoxi, Song Jingyi always stood by her side.

There was another new teammate in the dormitory, clever and smooth, especially good at currying favor.

"Xiao Xi, I went to visit a teammate at the Military Department hospital and brought back some treats for everyone. Chocolate and lollipops, eat as you like." This was Gu Xiaoxi’s close friend, Gao Wen, big and tall, dreaming of becoming the strongest sniper.

Gu Xiaoxi looked her up and down, "Thanks, but I’m studying. I can’t be distracted right now."

Song Jingyi also immediately waved her off, "Put it there, once I finish my tasks. We’ll eat them slowly."

Gao Wen chuckled and wasn’t offended, handing the chocolate and candy over to Li Jing, "Squad leader, have some! It’s definitely not a bribe."

Without taking her eyes off her computer, Li Jing said coldly, "Take it away!"

Gao Wen puckered her lips, her mood deflated; since no one else was eating, she might as well eat them herself. She didn’t care much for studying anyway; she’d rather go running or fire a few more shots.

Just then, the phone in the dormitory rang.

Immediately, Gao Wen dropped her lollipop and rushed to answer the phone, hearing Chen Zhigang’s voice on the other end, "Looking for Gu Xiaoxi!"

Gao Wen instantly turned to Gu Xiaoxi with a smile, "Gu Xiaoxi, you’ve got a call!"

Gu Xiaoxi stepped forward, took the phone, and heard Chen Zhigang say, "Pack your things. Someone from headquarters will pick you up, they said they want you for a lecture. As for what it’s about, they didn’t say. This matter is quite secretive, don’t tell others. I’ll consider it a seven-day leave for you. Perform well, and you might impress the higher-ups."

"Oh!" Gu Xiaoxi hung up the phone nonchalantly. Whether it was her tone or expression, she seemed particularly indifferent.

Chen Zhigang listened to the dial tone in disbelief.

This big opportunity, and she just said "Oh"? Shouldn’t she be excited, promising to perform well?

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t have time to think too much. After hanging up, she packed her things and said to Song Jingyi, "The company commander said there’s something. I may need to take seven days off."

"For what? Seven days is quite a long time for leave," Song Jingyi said, puzzled.

Li Jing turned her head and gave Gu Xiaoxi a probing, disbelieving look, "Really the company commander said that? Seven days off?"

Gao Wen had been all ears and caught a few keywords, immediately interjecting, "Indeed, the company commander said it. Something about a lecture, private..."

Gu Xiaoxi immediately turned around and glared at her, prompting Gao Wen to cover her mouth as if electrocuted, daring not to speak carelessly anymore.

After packing her things, Gu Xiaoxi patted Song Jingyi on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back before the test. You keep at it!"

"Right!" Song Jingyi nodded and saw her out of the dormitory.

Li Jing stared at Gao Wen, her gaze icy.

Gao Wen immediately gestured with her hands, saying fearfully, "I only heard those two words; I didn’t catch anything else!"
