226: Chapter 6 Seeking Her Help 226: Chapter 6 Seeking Her Help Those words were harsh and absolute!
Everyone was startled.
Zheng Tongtong gripped her fingers tightly, her palms sweating profusely before she finally lowered her head and whispered, “Qin Weiwei wet her own bed, and she went through Miss Gu’s bag, too.
It was her who broke the phone.”
Once Zheng Tongtong spoke up and told the truth, the other female soldiers in the dormitory imdiately nodded in agreent.
“It was Qin Weiwei who threatened us, telling us not to talk.
She said it was a task given by soone from above and if we spoke out of turn, we’d be dismissed.”
“Actually, we didn’t want to wrongly accuse Miss Gu.
It was her who forced us into this.”
Hong Wenqiang’s face turned an iron blue with anger, then he turned to Lu Xiao, “You are in charge of this won’s dormitory.
How could you not investigate clearly before making a fuss?
You’ve made lose face completely.”
Lu Xiao’s complexion turned pale; she had always been on good terms with Qin Weiwei, so naturally, she had taken her side.
She had not expected it was a trap Qin Weiwei had set, and that she herself would be caught in it.
“I’m sorry, Commander, I didn’t investigate properly!” Lu Xiao imdiately explained nervously, then turned to Gu Xiaoxi to apologize hastily, “I’m sorry!
It wasn’t intentional.”
Gu Xiaoxi just sneered and then brushed off the non-existent dust from her hands, “Right, no one ever makes mistakes on purpose.
But they still cause harm to others.
Today, I don’t care whether you did it accidentally or intentionally.
You favored Qin Weiwei and tossed justice aside, so, sorry doesn’t cut it.
I just want the commander to assign to a different dormitory.
I don’t like to live among such a rabble of people.”
Hong Wenqiang felt a headache coming on, Lu Xiao had managed to offend the young lady.
“Commander, I, I, I…
didn’t!” Qin Weiwei had been panicking and confused from the mont Zheng Tongtong revealed the truth, and only at this mont did she finally react and start defending herself.
Hong Wenqiang looked at her, completely out of patience to inquire further, and then said leisurely, “Since the matter is clear now, I have nothing more to say.
Lu Xiao, you’ve been neglectful in your duties, so you should give up your managent position and reflect on this.
I will select soone else to manage the female soldiers.
From now on, you will join Squad Four and clean the kennels together.
As for Qin Weiwei, I will explain the reasons to the higher-ups.
Please pack your belongings, this afternoon I will arrange for soone to escort you out of the army base.”
“What?”
“What?”
Both Qin Weiwei and Lu Xiao were taken aback, not expecting Hong Wenqiang to be so rigid as to imdiately order them out without leaving any room for mitigation.
“Didn’t you hear ?
Then I’ll go back and get the notice ready!” Saying this, Hong Wenqiang was about to turn around and leave.
Fearful and pale, Qin Weiwei and Lu Xiao lost any concern for their image and rushed forward, grabbing Hong Wenqiang’s arm, voicing their panic, “Commander, I foolishly listened to others’ slander, it’s all my fault, and I shouldn’t have acted like that.
Please forgive , if I can’t complete three years of service, my mother will look down on .”
Hong Wenqiang’s expression imdiately changed, and he scolded Qin Weiwei, “You’re aware that not completing three years will lead to people looking down on you.
Look at what you’ve done, violating military regulations no one can help you.
And who’s words did you listen to?
Who directed you?”
Gu Xiaoxi listened with curiosity as well.
Ever since her arrival, soone had been scheming behind her back, trying to bully her…
Who could that person be?
Was it Huang Xin?
Gu Xiaoxi felt that was a possibility.
On the other hand, Qin Weiwei imdiately shut her mouth, then revised her statent, “It was my own jealousy of her, and then I followed others’ instigations which led to do sothing foolish.
Commander, I admit my mistake, please don’t kick out.”
Hong Wenqiang snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Qin Weiwei before turning to Gu Xiaoxi, “You can move to Dormitory 406.”
“Commander, don’t forget, before she leaves, I want her to compensate for my phone.
6999, I want cash.” Gu Xiaoxi looked toward Qin Weiwei with a cold tone.
Qin Weiwei’s face instantly turned white, and she imdiately retorted in annoyance, “What brand of a phone is worth 6999!”
Gu Xiaoxi snorted and threw her broken phone in front of Qin Weiwei, “See for yourself!”
When Qin Weiwei saw the brand, she was so angry she was nearly spitting blood.
An international brand, she didn’t know the exact price, but it was definitely not cheap.
If she had known it would co to this, she would not have been so ruthless.
Now, even repairing it was out of the question.
Gu Xiaoxi snorted and finally turned around, heading to the neighboring dormitory.
She simply ignored the people in Dormitory 405 as if they were air.
Dormitory 406 had eight beds, housed three people, and just so happened to have a lower bunk available.
Gu Xiaoxi packed up her bag but didn’t see anyone return.
After putting away her things, she then went downstairs.
Underneath the girls’ dormitory building, she saw Xu Jingshen standing under a big oak tree from afar.
When she looked over, he was also looking at her, and then he quickly waved his hand at her.
“Is sothing the matter?” Gu Xiaoxi walked over.
Xu Jingshen smiled, and under the sunlight, that slightly mature face showed a bit of tenderness as he said, “I actually ca specifically to find you.
There’s sothing I need to consult you about.
But I heard your phone is broken, and it so happens I have a spare one, so I’m giving it to you.
It’ll be convenient to contact you later on.”
“This doesn’t seem quite appropriate!” Gu Xiaoxi scratched her head, feeling embarrassed to casually accept gifts from others, especially since she wasn’t particularly close with Xu Jingshen.
“What’s not good about it!” Xu Jingshen laughed and said, “You’ve helped us a lot recently.
Everyone hasn’t properly thanked you yet.
This phone is for military special use, and you won’t get checked for it.
Anyway, we could consider ourselves half friends now.”
Gu Xiaoxi hesitated as she looked at the black phone he presented in front of her.
She indeed had no phone to use at the mont, and she needed one.
“Forget it, I can’t just take things from others.
You should take it back!
If it’s for military special use, it will be registered under a na.” Gu Xiaoxi firmly declined, then turned to look at Xu Jingshen and seriously asked, “You can tell what you need.
I won’t be too busy recently.
If I have ti, I will also help you.”
Especially in areas where she excelled, if she could be of help to everyone, she certainly would not refuse.
“I’m offering you a phone, and you won’t even take it.
How could I have the nerve to trouble you further?
And, if I call you, would I be able to reach you?” Xu Jingshen sighed, disappointed that his kind gesture of giving a gift was declined.
Gu Xiaoxi hesitated at the sight of the phone.
Indeed, it was inconvenient to be without one.
If Quan Shaoqing were to call her, she wouldn’t be able to receive it.
After thinking it over, she still reached out to take it, “I’ll just borrow it temporarily.
Once I get a new phone, I’ll return this one to you.” Gu Xiaoxi smiled, and in that instant, it was as if the colors of the sunlight dimd.
She radiated a breathtaking beauty.
Xu Jingshen thought, Gu Xiaoxi was beautiful, and she gave a stunning first impression!
But once you got to know her, like becoming addicted, you would want to understand her more, uncover her beautiful secrets.
“Alright!” Xu Jingshen said helplessly, still feeling she was being distant.
Even wanting to beco friends with her was difficult!
Especially since she radiated a cool detachnt from her very bones, not just anyone could approach her, understand her.
He felt sowhat disappointed by her indifference.
“If there’s anything you need help with, just say so!” Gu Xiaoxi said as she opened and started to familiarize herself with the phone after just a few flips.
“It’s like this, I have a new system that I’m researching, and I need you to help test it to see if any changes are needed.
This system is very important and must not have any issues.
It would be best if it could be foolproof.
If you can help with this, I will recomnd you to my superiors and help you get recognized for your contributions,” Xu Jingshen hurriedly explained.
He knew that it was difficult for him to ask for help given his position, but Gu Xiaoxi had the capabilities.
He couldn’t guarantee that his work was impeccable, and if Gu Xiaoxi could easily find flaws, then perhaps soone else might find them in the future, too.
So, that’s why he was lowering himself to curry favor with Gu Xiaoxi.
And above all, the main reason was that he respected capable people.
“That’s simple.
Bring your computer over tomorrow, and I’ll ask my company commander for a half-day off to help you with the tests,” Gu Xiaoxi said, putting the phone in her pocket and then smiling.
Xu Jingshen bead with a smile, liking Gu Xiaoxi’s straightforward nature.
“Great!
I’ll co to find you tomorrow at noon, and I’ll get you the afternoon off,” Xu Jingshen nodded happily.
Afterward, Gu Xiaoxi waved at him and headed to the dog shelter.
By then, Shao Changfeng and Zhao Zilong had already cleaned the dog shelter spotless with the help of two beautiful girls.
Seeing Gu Xiaoxi return, they looked away silently, pretending not to see.
“What’s with those expressions?
I just went to put so things away and ran into a bit of a problem.
We have such a good relationship, let’s not sweat the small stuff,” Gu Xiaoxi said, squatting in front of the lazy dog Xiao Xiao, then addressing the two n.
The two helpers, Zhang Ling and Qi Yu, exchanged a glance and laughed, “Miss Gu, it’s fine.
We’ve taken care of everything you were supposed to do.”
At that mont, their faces were particularly excited, beaming with a sense of honor.
