With Tang Zhe vouching for Chen Jiao, Yi Zheng really couldn’t say anything. He could only wave his hand impatiently to gesture for them to leave.
Tang Zhe promised Yi Zheng repeatedly before leaving with Chen Jiao.
As soon as he walked out of the office door, his tense face relaxed slightly.
Chen Jiao admitted that she had caused him trouble again. She kept her head lowered and rubbed her hands guiltily. “I’m sorry, Cousin. 1 caused you trouble again.”
Tang Zhe rubbed her hair in amusement. “Alright, is there a need to apologize to me? President Yi doesn’t like people talking about his private life behind his back. You have to pay more attention in the future.”
“I understand.” Chen Jiao carefully raised her eyes. “Cousin, will President Yi be angry with you because of this?”
“No.” Tang Zhe smiled and said, “President Yi and I won’t have conflicts because of these things. You don’t have to worry about me. Go back and do your work.”
Only then did Chen Jiao relax.
During the lunch break, the secretaries outside were about to go downstairs to eat when the door that had been closed for the entire morning was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
Everyone was shocked and quickly stood on both sides, afraid that they would provoke the President, who had an obvious fierce expression.
Only Tang Zhe dared to ask at this time.
Yi Zheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said coldly, “We’re heading out.”
Tang Zhe immediately understood. He let Chen Jiao eat lunch by herself first, then brought Yi Zheng into the car. “President Yi, where are we going?”
The air pressure in the car suddenly dropped because of Yi Zheng’s presence. The chauffeur was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He quickly gave Tang Zhe a look of admiration.
It seemed that it was not that easy to be the President’s chief assistant!
If it were him, he wouldn’t dare to take the initiative to talk to the President at this time!
Yi Zheng remained silent. His fingers gently rested on the armrest of the chair. His fingertips tapped slowly as he looked out of the window with a depressed expression.
Tang Zhe immediately understood and turned to look at the chauffeur. “Go to the army.”
The chauffeur stepped on the accelerator cooperatively and sped towards the army.
Today was the day of the army’s event. Soldiers rarely had the time to drink and sing like ordinary people, but they were not usually training.
There were many entertainment venues like basketball courts, so over time, the male and female soldiers in the army would spontaneously organize basketball competitions on the day of the event.
This kind of competition could not only motivate everyone, but also exercise and stimulate their spirits. Therefore, the leaders of the army were very supportive of the basketball competitions. They would even give the champion team an additional quota to go out on training days as a reward.
Everyone’s enthusiasm soared. After a morning of competition, the top three of the male and female soldiers were finally decided.
At this moment, Shi Man was surrounded by Cheng Luo and the others who were begging her to participate in the competition.
After the previous assessment, although Shi Man had only been training with them for half a month, they had still established a deep friendship.
Even though Shi Man’s aura was still quite terrifying when her face was cold, they still dared to talk to her.
Shi Man was not someone who pretended to be aloof. She would never reprimand them sternly because of their pestering. Gradually, they seemed to have become very good friends with Shi Man and became much bolder.
Cheng Luo pitifully raised an index finger and placed it on her lips. “Just once, okay? Instructor Shi, I beg you! Class B will fight us in the next round. That’s why we would like to invite Instructor Shi as external help!”
However, Shi Man showed no interest. “I don’t know how to play basketball. You guys go ahead.”
Cheng Luo quickly recommended herself. “Instructor Shi, I can teach you if you don’t know! Please, 1 really need this opportunity to go out!”
Shi Man frowned in confusion. “Isn’t it your turn to go out next time?”
In the army, each class only had a fixed quota to leave the army every month. If anyone outside the quota violated the rules and left the army, they would be punished.
Cheng Luo pouted and pretended to be pitiful. “My brother just transferred back to the capital to work not long ago. 1 want to see him, but it’s not my turn yet, and I don’t want to occupy someone else’s place, so 1 can only try my best this time!”
Shi Man nodded in understanding. “Then are you so unconfident in winning? Which instructor is helping Class B?”
“That would be me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely provocative voice sounded from behind.
Shi Man did not need to look to know who that person was. She sneered and said, “Instructor Zhao, are you in such a good mood that you actually bullied a student personally?”
Zhao Jing’s face turned pale. Before she could speak, the class monitor of Class B, Gao Shu, said arrogantly, “Instructor Shi, the army doesn’t prohibit instructors from participating in the basketball competitions. Our Instructor Zhao wants to compete with you. Do you accept the challenge?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of the surrounding people was immediately attracted.
The people wiping their sweat at the side did not care about their sweat that was flowing down. They all looked at Shi Man in unison, as if they were looking forward to her answer.
Shi Man said expressionlessly, “It’s a low-level provocation. If your Instructor Zhao really wants to compete with me, let her talk to me personally..”
