Chapter 715: Going To Meet Her Father-in-law

To other people, this might be a chance. But it was a shock to her.

Even Principal Cao was surprised by the arrangement. However, the guard beside Commander Xia personally came to send the words so there mustn’t be a mistake.

Thus, he smiled and said, “The arrangement is made by the commander. Don’t worry about that. Major Xia will be in the car too. You know him so with him around, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

He paused for a while before continuing, “You probably can tell what’s the relationship between Major Xia and Commander Xia, right? Thus, you really don’t have to worry. Major Xia will be helping you. Just answer whatever the commander asks. You don’t have to beat around the bush. A sincere and honest reply is the best form of reply.”

Ye Jian felt secretly frustrated. She even wanted to pretend that she had a heatstroke so that she could escape this meeting. She felt uneasy precisely because Xia Jinyuan was there.

What caused her the greatest headache was the fact that she was guilty of leading Commander Xia’s son ‘astray’! Even if she didn’t initiate it, she still felt guilty.

But Ye Jian couldn’t say anything when Principal Cao comforted her. She just gave a small smile but didn’t say what was truly on her mind. “Oh, so Major Xia is present too. I feel more at ease then.”

No matter how mature a child was, she was still a child. Principal Cao had high hopes for Ye Jian so he glanced around him before lowering his voice. “This is a good chance. Perform well and it will help you when you enter the military in the future. Little girl, your personal abilities are important but you need someone that can guide and support you too.”

He was letting Ye Jian know the rules of the adult world beforehand.

Ye Jian looked up with her shining eyes when she heard this. She pursed her lips and smiled. “I understand. Thank you.”

This was a kind reminder. Only people who really cared about her would say this to her. Principal Cao was reminding Ye Jian as her senior that she should grab this opportunity.

This was indeed a good chance. But, she preferred to use her true capabilities to get the chances that really belonged to her.

“Old Chen asked me to take care of you and give you advice appropriately. I’m just a teacher. I don’t know much about the military. As for you, you’re destined to enter the military. The only thing I can do is to remind you when the opportunity is here.”

If it was other people, Principal Cao wouldn’t say these things. Even if other students managed to sit in the same car as Commander Xia, he would remind them to be careful, be polite, use their brains when talking, and talk less so that they would make fewer mistakes.

But, his advice towards Ye Jian was different. First, he believed that Ye Jian wouldn’t say the wrong things. Second, he wanted to help this student who didn’t have any parents. Third, he hoped that she would be able to do well in the military. If she gained any merits in the future, he could say that she came from Provincial No.1 Middle School.

Ye Jian lowered her head and replied softly, “Don’t worry. I know what I should do. However, I feel that Commander Xia took time off his busy schedule to participate in our military training inspection because he is concerned whether the students faced any difficulties during this military training. He probably wants to understand my view of military training since I’m a student.”

If there was a chance, she would grab it. But, her instincts told her that with Xia Jinyuan around, this wasn’t an opportunity.

Principal Cao remained silent for a short while before he sighed. “I don’t understand the situation as well as you. The commander-in-chief won’t be so free to come all the way from the capital city to the southern province and then to the chemical defense regiment just for the military training inspection. He must have other businesses to attend to.”
