243 An Easy-To-Train Woman
A man of medium build stood in front of the lady boss. When he saw Du Yue, he sized her up. “You just came to the base not long ago? I’m here to inform you that you’re very lucky to have been given the right to join the selection for the celestial lord’s fourth wife. I’ll be in charge of bringing you to the inner city to partic.i.p.ate in the selection.”
Du Yue did not speak. Instead, she stared at Captain Zou. She was really puzzled. How could this native of the blue planet in front of her say such ridiculous things in a serious manner? Did he not think it was ridiculous? Du Yue’s straightforward eyes were probing, and Captain Zou was a little displeased. “Hey, are you listening to me?”
Du Yue looked away and rejected him without hesitation. “I won’t join.”
In her eyes, this bullsh*t wife selection was just a farce created by a group of lunatics. She would never join it. Even if she could enter the inner city without any effort and see the celestial lord by doing this, Du Yue was unwilling.
She had to follow her heart now that she was living her second life. Captain Zou did not expect Du Yue to reject him so quickly. He frowned. “Do you know what you’re saying? This is an opportunity that many people yearn for. If you’re lucky enough to be chosen, your family and friends, even everyone in your small base, will be able to live a good life with you. At that time, you can enjoy the envy and admiration of others.”
Du Yue shook her head. Her voice was deep and determined as she spoke, I won’t go. My family, my friends, and the people from the same base as me won’t worship me just because I became someone’s wife. Even if this is a shortcut, I won’t take it.” If she really went, Zuo Mingdong would probably be angered to death upon finding out.
Du Yue was stunned for a moment when she suddenly had such a thought. Captain Zou had only mentioned her family and friends, but why did she suddenly think of Zuo Mingdong? Could it be that she had already regarded Zuo Mingdong as her family and friend without her knowing?
Captain Zou looked at Du Yue and saw that she had rejected him without hesitation, then she seemed to have thought of something and got distracted in front of him. Captain Zou’s face darkened. This was a rare opportunity that was placed in front of this woman. It was fine if she did not know how to cherish it, but she actually rejected the invitation so firmly. She really did not know what was good for her.
The more Captain Zou thought about it, the worse his expression became. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction. “I’ll ask you one last time, are you sure you don’t want to partic.i.p.ate in the selection?”
Captain Zou’s words pulled Du Yue back from her thoughts. She furrowed her brows and was getting impatient. “I think I’ve made myself clear. I won’t go even if you ask me a hundred more times.”
Captain Zou’s face darkened. “Don’t you regret it!”
Du Yue only looked at him quietly and did not say another word. Captain Zou turned around and left in a huff when he saw that she was not taking him seriously.
He had just taken two steps when he was stopped by the lady boss. After being glared at by Captain Zou, the lady boss quickly put on a smile. “Captain Zou, don’t go yet. Since she doesn’t want to partic.i.p.ate, do you think my daughter can go in her place?”
“Who’s your daughter?” Captain Zou asked impatiently.
The lady boss quickly pulled Ah Ping, who was behind her, forward with a smile and introduced her to Captain Zou. “This is my daughter, Ah Ping. Take a look and see if she’s good enough.” Then, she tugged on Ah Ping’s sleeve and said, “Hurry up and say h.e.l.lo to Captain Zou. Why are you standing there?”
Ah Ping stood there in a daze, but she quickly came back to her senses and smiled at Captain Zou. “Captain Zou, I’m Ah Ping. It’s nice to meet you.”
Captain Zou looked her up and down, then waved at her. “Alright, follow us!”
Ah Ping’s looks were definitely not comparable to Du Yue’s, but she could be considered gentle and delicate. Most importantly, Ah Ping was young, and she seemed to be very gentle and obedient. She was easy to train. A woman like this was the best at winning men’s favor.
“Are you really willing to take Ah Ping to partic.i.p.ate in the selection?” The lady boss’ voice trembled with excitement, but Captain Zou obviously found her talkative.
“Don’t you have ears? Do you need me to repeat myself?”
“No, no.” The lady boss waved her hands. “I heard you loud and clear. Ah Ping, go pack your luggage and leave with Captain Zou!”
“Alright, I’ll be back soon.”
