Chapter 315 - Break a Butterfly on a Wheel

Without putting down his chopsticks, Dean Jiang picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was Xiao Tao, a freshman assistant teacher from the Physics Department.

“Dean Jiang!”

His loud voice almost blew up his ears. Dean Jiang quickly winced and put the phone away.

“What’s the matter, why are you panicking?” Everyone at the dining table was familiar, so Dean Jiang didn’t avoid them and spoke calmly.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Tao couldn’t calm down and continued to yell, “The Cheng family has taken a fancy to our student Qin Ran this year!”

Dean Jiang’s hand shook, and the ribs he had just picked up with the chopsticks fell onto the table.

“What?!” He immediately stood up with a nervous expression. “Give me the contact information, I’ll solve this matter myself.”

After hanging up, he hurried away, halfway through his meal.

Zhou Ying glanced at him and slowly asked, “Dean Jiang, you’re not eating anymore?”

“How could I!” Dean Jiang turned and glanced at him. “If I continue eating, this year’s freshman king might never return from military training!”

He said his piece and vigorously rushed towards the stairs.

He was really put on the spot...

Cheng Qingyu was still with the middle-aged man, who made two calls and then answered another call.

His expression was a little strange after receiving the call.

“What’s wrong?” Cheng Qingyu waited for a while and sat on an empty chair in the office. He took off his hat and asked in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man finally returned to his senses and glanced at him. “What could happen? Do you know who she is?” He continued eating with his chopsticks.

“Who? She’s really talented, but she’s impatient.” Cheng Qingyu slightly narrowed his sharp eyes. Could it be Old Master Cheng who just called?

Qin Ran was indeed a good seedling. Otherwise, Cheng Qingyu wouldn’t have come here.

“She’s the freshman king of Beijing University this year, the national college entrance examination top scorer. Principal Zhou finally reeled her in after much difficulty.” The middle-aged man took a bite of rice and looked up. “Do you think they would let her go? Don’t dream about it, just go back to the freshmen.”

“The top scorer?” Cheng Qingyu was stunned.

Students of Beijing University were all impressive. After finding out about Qin Ran, he already guessed that she had good grades.

But he didn’t expect it to be of this level?!

With such achievements, it was only natural for Beijing University to hold onto her dearly...

Cheng Qingyu felt a little regretful inside, but he didn’t obsess over it further. He just picked up his hat and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. “Has Captain Shi brought new people to the base recently? I’ve met a bottleneck situation and want to ask him for advice.”

He deeply admired this Shi Liming, who had recently gained a reputable name for himself in the Cheng family.

He had convinced the people here with his strength.

The only drawback of Shi Liming’s arrival was that his management ability was a little lacking. However, he was inherently intelligent. In the past two months, he climbed to the position of Captain, which was evidence of his rapid progress.

Many elders wanted to ask him for advice, and Cheng Qingyu was no exception.

It was just that Shi Liming was willing to risk his life and seldom accepted a challenge.

Cheng Qingyu had never found an opportunity and hadn’t seen his face more than a few times.

“No.” The middle-aged man shook his head. “I don’t think he brought anyone new in. Let alone you, even I can’t find anyone.”

“Okay.” Cheng Qingyu nodded, feeling a little depressed. He immediately went downstairs.

Shi Liming didn’t go out today.

Holding a lunch box in his hand, he hurriedly walked towards the lounge.

“Captain Shi, you don’t have a mission today?” Cheng Qingyu was surprised to see Shi Liming the moment he got out of the office.

After all, his whereabouts had always been uncertain, and sometimes, it wasn’t even easy for his boss to find him.

Shi Liming had a good memory. Although he hadn’t seen him many times, he still remembered him as a direct descendant of the Cheng family. He was rather polite towards him.

“I took a leave.” Shi Liming greeted him and then hurriedly left. “I still have matters to attend to.”

Cheng Qingyu buckled his hat on his head and nodded without saying more. He had wanted to ask him for advice.

The opponent’s fighting style was very strange, but Shi Liming had always been the kind to risk his life, so he couldn’t manage to find any opportunity.

**

Shi Liming quickly went to the lounge.

Inside, Nan Huiyao was still sleeping.

Cheng Mu hadn’t come today. Shi Liming had already learned Cheng Mu’s essence, and he prepared the dishes and poured Qin Ran a cup of tea.

She woke Nan Huiyao, and they seated themselves at the dining table.

Nan Huiyao sat next to Qin Ran, eating with her chopsticks. She didn’t dare look at Cheng Juan in case she was brainwashed by him again.

“I’m almost done. I can go to train in the afternoon.” Nan Huiyao took a sip of soup. She thought about it before thanking both Qin Ran and Cheng Juan.

While eating casually, Cheng Juan heard her voice and raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?” he asked faintly.

Inexplicably, there was a sense of pressure.

Nan Huiyao touched her cold back and forcibly said, “Today is just shooting. I can endure it, thank you.”

“Do you want to go back?” Cheng Juan didn’t want to talk to Nan Huiyao, so he simply turned to ask Qin Ran.

While playing with her phone and eating, Qin Ran replied without looking up, “She said she can go back. Gu Xichi’s medicine is really good.”

Cheng Juan had given Gu Xichi’s medicine to Nan Huiyao today, which Qin Ran trusted undoubtedly.

If Nan Huiyao said she could train, she was definitely not just trying to be brave.

“Oh.” Cheng Juan was in low spirits.

In addition to eating time, freshmen could rest for an hour at noon. It wasn’t until 1:30 in the afternoon that Qin Ran took her hat and went to the field.

Cheng Juan sent her off to the entrance before leaving once she had joined the team.

Not far away, Cheng Qingyu and a few officers happened to come in. They passed by Cheng Juan on the way.

“Master Juan.” The group of people greeted him and stood upright.

Cheng Juan appeared to be doing nothing in Beijing, but over here, he was deeply respected from the heart. As for why...

Those who had trained with him didn’t want to dig up the memories.

Cheng Juan took out a cigarette from his pocket. The faint smoke rose, and he glanced past Cheng Qingyu. “Keep it up,” he said lightly.

The group of people only dared to leave once Cheng Juan walked away. They heaved sighs of relief.

“I don’t know why Master Juan suddenly came here. When he was asked to be the chief instructor last time, he ran off to become a doctor.” An instructor unscrewed the bottle cap in his hand.

Cheng Qingyu walked forward and concisely said, “To see someone.”

See someone? The other instructor was a little curious but still didn’t dare to ask.

They weren’t freshmen anymore. Every year, the instructors of Beijing University and University A had a prescribed allocation. Strangely, Beijing University had specifically designated Cheng Qingyu’s team this year.

To be frank...

Cheng Qingyu’s strength was enough to be used as an instructor for special training. As for training freshmen...

It was like breaking a butterfly with a wheel.

The people on the base all hoped to cooperate with Shi Liming’s team and learn his tricks. Originally, Cheng Qingyu’s team recently had a task and finally had this opportunity... Who knew that they would be brought to these students all of a sudden.

All the tasks and cooperations had gone down the drain because of this.

His subordinates all knew how depressed he was. In fact, they were also extremely depressed. After all, this opportunity wouldn’t present itself in the future.

This person suddenly remembered that something had been discussed among the instructors at noon. “By the way, Instructor Cheng, do you have a particularly impressive girl in your platoon who shot ten bullseyes in ten seconds? Is it true?”

“It’s fake.” Cheng Qingyu glanced at him.

The man nodded. “I knew it couldn’t be.”

“She shot ten bullseyes in five seconds.” Cheng Qingyu finished speaking and walked directly to Class 1.

Those left standing in place were speechless.

The first day was special training for shooting.

The second day was obstacle rock climbing.

The third day was bringing loads up the mountain.

On the fourth and fifth day, they learned boxing that the Cheng family generally didn’t pass on to the outside world.

The special training for boxing only had nine short styles. Teaching new students this was partly to help them defend and protect themselves when they encountered danger.

This group of freshmen was admitted to Beijing University because they were intelligent, but they were still students, after all, and had no foundation. They looked impressive but lacked real worth.

They were soft like tofu and didn’t have much strength.

Only Qin Ran’s punches were worthy.

Cheng Qingyu swept his eyes around the field. These past two days, he had focused his attention on Qin Ran. He asked her to come up and demonstrate to the group of students.

At the entrance, Cheng Juan came over with the administrator.

“Young Master Cheng, these are the students of Beijing University this year.” The middle-aged man followed two steps behind Cheng Juan and introduced the place in a very respectful tone. “Over here...”

Cheng Juan was still wearing casual clothes. His eyes swept past the training ground.

Qin Ran’s class was on the edge of the training ground and was easy to find.

He walked towards them.

The middle-aged man wanted to introduce the place to him and was taken aback to see that he had found another purpose. Then, it became clear to him that... Young Master Cheng indeed had private motives.

No wonder he had suddenly appeared here.

Whenever Cheng Juan and the middle-aged man passed by, the instructors’ voices became louder.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The other students couldn’t help but glance over. They could tell that these two people weren’t ordinary.

“Fall in!” Cheng Qingyu asked Qin Ran to return to the team for now. He turned and saluted Cheng Juan as well as the middle-aged man.

Glancing at him, Cheng Juan lazily folded his arms and casually asked, “How’s the special training?”

Cheng Qingyu said it was going fine.

“Okay.” Cheng Juan slightly nodded and pointed at Qin Ran. “You, come out.”

She fell out of the team.

“The most important thing about boxing is actual combat.” Cheng Juan glanced at her with clear eyes, seemingly smiling. “Instructor Cheng, come and fight her. Let these students experience the power of the special boxing’s fist.”
