Chapter 539: Desperate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Chu Yue first entered the army, she became the goddess who attracted the attention of everyone with her results. Back then, she joined the army and became Lu Jun’s only female student.
She had always been very hardworking and had never embarrassed Lu Jun. She carried out the same mission as a man with a woman’s thin body and her results were not inferior at all.
She had always enjoyed being the only woman in the limelight and basked in the pursuit of others.
But now, everything was about to be destroyed by Shi Man.
If Shi Man joined Lu Jun, her status would definitely plummet. To be honest, Chu Yue was most proud of her skills, which she had trained for many years, but she became vulnerable in front of Shi Man.
She looked Lu Jun almost pleadingly, but Lu Jun only wanted to take Shi Man in as his last disciple and end his life of hard work.
All the worried, surprised, and jealous gazes were focused on Shi Man. The breeze stirred up by the surroundings teased the taut string in everyone’s hearts as they waited for her answer.
However, Shi Man, who was at the center of attention, could not understand their feelings. She looked back at Lu Jun without changing her expression and handed the assembled pistol to him. She said coldly, “No, thank you.”
She rejected him very bluntly. Even Lu Jun did not expect to meet such a girl one day. In the face of his invitation, she did not even blink and rejected him directly.
Lu Jun had lived for more than half of his life, but this was the first time he had the mentality of thirsting for talent. He was not discouraged by the rejection and said persistently, “I’m the head of the national army. If you follow me, won’t the Shi family benefit from it?”
Shi Man turned to look at Shen Xian. As expected, she saw the other party shaking her head at her worriedly.
Shi Man couldn’t help but smile and said smugly, “I’m sorry, Chief Lu. My family doesn’t need this honor. They want me to live comfortably and happily.”
Lu Jun’s expression darkened when she rejected him in person again.
However, he was not angry that Shi Man did not know what was good for her. He was just thinking about what conditions he should offer to make Shi Man follow him to the capital willingly.
After thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed through Lu Jun’s mind. He couldn’t wait to stop Shi Man, who was about to turn around and leave. He took the initiative to say, “Come back to the army with me. Not to mention the next five years, 1’11 prioritize your Shi family for all such orders in the future.”
This simple sentence settled a business worth hundreds of millions.
Not only were the Shi family shocked, but even Chu Yue did not expect Lu Jun to do this to persuade Shi Man.
Just now, he was clearly unwilling to even agree to the five-year bet!
A huge wave of sadness and grievance washed over her. Chu Yue gritted her teeth and wanted to stop him, but her brother suddenly grabbed her arm.
Shi Man did not reject him directly this time. Instead, she seriously considered his suggestion.
She knew that this was the biggest concession Lu Jun could make.
She sighed slightly; she would be lying if she said that she was not moved. However, when she thought about how Yi Zheng and the Shi family would have to face the enemy hiding in the dark alone after she left, Shi Man could not be at ease.
But if she refused again, it would make her look very rude.
Shi Man softened her tone and said ambiguously, “Chief Lu, after I think it through, I’ll give you an answer personally.”
“Good! That’s great! You must seriously consider it!” Lu Jun was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
Now that he was in a better mood, he felt a little hungry. He turned around to look for Shi Zhong and saw his gloomy expression. Only then did he remember that he still had something very important to deal with.
He quickly waved his hand for Chu Yue to come over and pulled her to Shi Zhong. “Chu Yue violated military discipline and fired a gun without permission. She’ll be severely punished. Write a thousand words of self-reflection and apologize to CEO Shi quickly.”
Chu Yue’s face flushed red as she reluctantly admitted her mistake to Shi Zhong. However, there was no guilt in the meaning between the lines.
Lu Jun had already given the Shi family a lot of respect by doing this. Shi Zhong couldn’t continue to pursue the matter. He could only soften his expression and say a few polite words before asking Butler Qi to go to the cafeteria to prepare. He accompanied Lu Jun into the cool villa.
On the way, Chu Yue deliberately lagged behind. With a dark expression, she snorted coldly in Shi Man’s ear. “Just wait and see. 1 was careless this time. 1 won’t let you win next time.”
Shi Man looked at her in confusion.
Before she could say anything, Chu Yue turned around and walked in.
“Wait!” A smug male voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Chu Yue turned around in confusion and saw her brothers from the Shi family walking towards her aggressively.
The leader had a sloppy smile on his face, looking especially dazzling under the dazzling sunlight.
“What do you want?” Chu Yue could not defeat Shi Man, but she did not think that she could not defeat these men..
