At the same time, two sharp gazes landed on Wang Xiao’s face.
Wang Xiao instantly felt a chill on his back. His rationality, which had been scattered by excitement, began to return. Only then did he realize what he had just done.
“Wang Xiao?”
Huang Tingwei recognized him and his expression turned strange. “Why are you here?”
“It’s over now. The three billion coins will definitely be gone…”
Wang Xiao wailed in his heart, but he had never been a regretful person. Since he had already barged in, he simply looked at Chen Jinrong and braced himself to repeat, “Commander Chen, Academy Head Huang can’t leave!”
Chen Jinrong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao. His expressionless face showed neither joy nor anger. “When did you come? Did you hear what we just said?”
“Yes!”
Wang Xiao knew that he could not hide it, so he simply nodded and admitted, “Academy Head Huang is a good Academy Head. If he leaves, what will happen to the students of Yuheng Academy?”
“If he leaves, someone else will take over. You don’t have to worry about that.”
CChen Jinrong replied calmly, “Alter what is changeable, and accept what is immutable. When you become a soldier in the military in the future, you will naturally understand this principle.”
“But I’m still a student.”
Wang Xiao said in a low voice with a serious expression, “I’m a student. I like the current Academy Head. The other students also like him!”
“Whether you like him or not, I don’t see how that’s my problem?”
Chen Tinrong chuckled and retorted. but his tone became cold. “You can leave
first. We’ll talk after we’re done here.”
Just as Wang Xiao was about to speak, Chen Jinrong suddenly slammed his palm on the table. “Get out!”
As Chen Jinrong roared, a powerful aura seeped out of his body. At that time, Wang Xiao felt his heart skip three beats!
However, in order to make Huang Tingwei stay, Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and did not retreat. But before he could continue, Huang Tingwei spoke again, “Wang Xiao, you can leave first.” Wang Xiao’s expression changed. “Academy Head! I…”
“Enough, I know what I’m doing.”
Huang Tingwei waved his hand to interrupt Wang Xiao. With a kind smile on his face, he said, “Leave first. We’ll talk later.”
Alright.”
After some hesitation, Wang Xiao chose to compromise. He silently left the office and closed the door. Then, he gently pressed his ear against the door.
However, they seemed to know that Wang Xiao would eavesdrop outside. Their voices were much lower than before. Wang Xiao almost pressed his ears into the door but could only barely hear someone talking. As for the content, he could not hear a single word.
The more he could not hear clearly, the more anxious Wang Xiao became. He waited nervously for nearly ten minutes before he finally heard Chen Jinrong’s voice coming from inside. “Get in here!”
“Hmph! I’m entering because I want to!”
Wang Xiao secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. However, after pushing open the office door, he realized that the atmosphere here was a little off.
Earlier, although Huang Tingwei and Chen Jinrong did not reach the point of fighting, the atmosphere between them was still rather solemn.
However, just ten minutes later, the two of them seemed to have reached a consensus. They looked at Wang Xiao with a smile and set their sights on the same little white rabbit…
“C-Commander Chen, Academy Head.”
Wang Xiao bowed slightly and greeted them. He had already secretly raised his vigilance in his heart. “Have you guys come to an agreement?”
Chen Jinrong nodded and did not say anything. Huang Tingwei patted the empty chair beside him and said, “Come and sit down. Let’s talk!”
Looking at Huang Tingwei’s abnormal smile, Wang Xiao’s vigilance instantly rose to the peak!
However, out of curiosity and courtesy, Wang Xiao still walked over. Just as he landed on the chair and sat down, Huang Tingwei patted him on the shoulder.
“You’ve really impressed me!”
Huang Tingwei patted Wang Xiao’s shoulder and laughed, “I’ve seen the entire process of your battle with the enemy. You’re calm and composed, and you have a sense of propriety. You’re simply a role model for the younger generation!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jinrong added with a smile, “I’ve long thought that Wang Xiao is promising, but I didn’t expect him to be so capable! I heard that you helped capture a spy from Purple Star this morning and beat him half to death with your physical body?”
“Ah… that’s true.”
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before nodding. “But I…”
“Amazing! He’s really impressive!”
Without waiting for Wang Xiao to finish speaking, Chen Jinrong continued, “Including your performance in the academy ranking assessment, you’ve really helped me a lot!”
“I was still thinking about how to thank you, but Adjutant Qi reported to me that when we captured the spy from Purple Star, you seemed to be very interested in something at the scene. He suggested that you take it as a reward.
“No! Not little at all!”
Wang Xiao’s face lit up as he waved his hands repeatedly. He thought that the three billion star coins would be gone since he broke in just now. He did not expect Chen Jinrong to be willing to give him the money.
Without waiting for Wang Xiao to say a few more polite words, Huang Tingwei nodded repeatedly with a face full of admiration. “This child is really great! Not only is he outstandingly capable, but he also doesn’t care about fame and fortune. He has a bit of the style I had when I was young!”
“What a stretch! As if you were half as smart as Wang Xiao when you were my adjutant. Don’t make me wake up laughing from my dreams!”
“That’s true! This child is indeed smarter than when I was young!”
In the next few minutes, Huang Tingwei and Chen Jinrong echoed each other. All kinds of praises poured out like a fountain. From looks to ability, Wang Xiao was praised as a dragon and phoenix among men.
Even someone as thick-skinned as Wang Xiao began to find it unbearable to listen.
While the two of them were catching their breaths, Wang Xiao hurriedly interrupted and asked, “Commander Chen! Academy Head Huang! Can you just say what you want to say? You’re making me panic!”
“Why are you panicking? You’re so outstanding in our hearts!”
Chen Jinrong emphasized in all seriousness. Then, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. “That’s why we have a mission for you. I wonder if you’re willing?”
“I knew something was up!”
Wang Xiao thought to himself. His first reaction was to refuse. However, they would not have given him so much flattery just now for nothing. Moreover, Chen Jinrong still had three billion star coins that he had not given him!
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart for a moment, Wang Xiao finally asked, “Can I first hear what kind of mission it is?”
“Of course.”
As Chen Jinrong spoke, he took out a few documents from the side. “This year’s academy ranking assessment will be broadcasted worldwide, so the academies from other regions are very interested in us…”
“Wait a minute!”
Wang Xiao raised his hand to interrupt Chen Jinrong and asked with a puzzled frown, “I heard from Deputy Qi that you deliberately controlled the live broadcast to keep the Purple Star lord’s matter a secret. The people from the outer realms didn’t see anything, so why are they interested?”
.That’s not important.”
Chen Jinrong waved his hand and pointed at the documents on the table. “In short, I want to plan a student exchange program. I want to find some students to go to the universities in the outer regions to learn. I hope you can lead the team.”
“Student exchange program?
Wang Xiao frowned, faintly feeling that this was not a simple matter..
