Chapter 475: Restraining That Gentleness
“Alright. Later, a high-ranking leader will be asking you some questions. Just answer them accordingly. Don’t be afraid. It’s an ordinary conversation.” Before entering the office building, Xia Jinyuan suddenly held Ye Jian’s hand. “If you’re nervous, just look at me. I will be sitting opposite you.”
Her palms were sweaty and Xia Jinyuan thought that she was nervous. But it was his gentle smile that made her nervous.
She was more nervous facing him than the leader.
Sitting in the conference room, Ye Jian answered the lieutenant general’s questions. He was indeed a high-ranking person, but she was undaunted.
“You’re courageous. We need bold ladies like you in the army.” The army’s lieutenant general was one of the leaders. Dressed in a military uniform, the star on his shoulders exuded authority and might. The whole conference room was motionless.
As soon as Ye Jian entered the conference room, she faced several military leaders and instantly got into her spot. She was no longer a student, but a soldier!
“We were very surprised when the Military District of Southern Province recommended you. Looking at the picture, you were dressed in school uniform, beautiful, well-behaved and not aggressive. But no one had expected that you were trained by Chen Dongfeng.”
“A soldier that was trained by a world-cla.s.s sniper. You have the airs of one. It makes me comfortable and a.s.sured!”
The lieutenant general was obviously more satisfied with Ye Jian than what he had seen in the photos before. He then probed about how her sessions of training in the military unit. He even asked briefly about where she was planning to go to in the future.
Ye Jian answered them calmly. Her sentences were complete and there wasn’t a trace of stagnation. She didn’t freak out at all.
Sitting opposite her was Xia Jinyuan. His face looked cold, but his heart was gleeful. Occasionally, he would gaze at Ye Jian and not bother hiding it. He wanted to continue watching, but after all, there were three leaders present and it was Little Fox’s first time here. He didn’t want to mess things up.
There was no need to conceal his admiration. The little fox was received by a lieutenant general, and there were three colonels… These were men that could move troops with just a stomp of their feet.
His little fox was not afraid. She was still calm and composed. Not everyone had that kind of concentration and focus.
He was openly admiring her. Why hide it?
Ye Jian looked calm indeed. But that man’s gaze… it was burning like a fire, making her throat dry… He didn’t even restrain himself in front of a lieutenant general and three colonels!
…Ye Jian’s head was hurting. She had the thought of beating Xia Jinyuan up after the meeting was over.
Until his face was bruised and swollen. She’ll see whether he will continue to dangle his face in front of her!
“There are two more hours left. Colonel, show Ye Jian the information in your hands.” The lieutenant general picked up his military cap and grinned at Ye Jian. “This colonel is also accompanying us. If you have any questions, you can ask him.”
Finally, the lieutenant general had finished his questions. Before he left, he said one last sentence to her. “Every oak has been an acorn, work hard!”
