Chapter 286: Picking on Her 2: An Underserved Catastrophe
Other students were stunned when they heard this. Gu Qingjiu was stunned, too.
This commanding officer sounded like he was sternly reproaching Gu Qingjiu.
If it were a new student who easily crumbled under stress and confusion, she probably would have cried on the spot after the commanding officer scolded her.
Gu Qingjiu’s lips trembled. Her first instinct was to say she didn’t know she was supposed to do that.
But under such a situation, if she talked back at the commanding officer, things would surely end badly for her.
Hence, Gu Qingjiu kept silent for a moment before saying loudly, “Sorry, Commanding Officer!”
She admitted to her mistake.
This made the commanding officer who scolded her pause in surprise.
But it was just for a brief moment. He sized up Gu Qingjiu with a disdainful look in his eyes.
“You entered our university because you had outstanding results in shooting?”
He was stating the obvious.
As a commanding officer, how could he not know how Gu Qingjiu managed to get into the university?
But from the sounds of it, it was clear that he was trying to make things difficult for her.
If she said yes, it meant that Gu Qingjiu admitted that her shooting results were outstanding. In turn, that would make her look arrogant.
But if she said no, others would assume that she got into this school despite being talentless.
Under everyone’s gazes, no matter what Gu Qingjiu said, she would be wrong.
The shooting instructor perhaps couldn’t bear to watch on further, so he stood out and said, “Old Qin. Look, she’s just a new student. Don’t be so hard on her.”
This instructor was also furious and confused to see the commanding officer suddenly come to the shooting practice.
But he could roughly guess what was going on.
This commanding officer’s name was Qin Huai, and he was supposed to be the commanding officer for this new batch of students, as well as the most likely candidate to be promoted to a Chief Instructor position.
But He Niancheng showed up out of nowhere yesterday and robbed him of his position, thus the fury he displayed.
Those who knew Qin Huai knew that he had been eyeing the position of the Chief Instructor for a long time.
However, it was snatched away from him at the last minute, and Qin Huai couldn’t compete with the person who snatched it away.
Moreover, after those two new students who just arrived yesterday went to see the Chief Instructor according to the protocol, one of them had chosen his specialization. And yet, the student did not come to report to him.
He was venting his anger on the newly arrived Gu Qingjiu.
No one can’t entirely blame Gu Qingjiu for this.
It was still her first time in a military school. Hence, there were many things she wasn’t clear about.
With no one leading the way, she naturally acted according to what the Chief Management ordered her.
Who would have known she was supposed to first report to her specialization’s Chief Instructor?
She was planning to report to him on her first day of formally attending the classes and didn’t see it coming that someone would make a big deal out of it.
But since the person standing before her was her commanding officer, she couldn’t possibly rebut him.
Despite the shooting class instructor’s attempts to calm him down, it did nothing to appease Qin Huai’s anger.
Especially when he saw the calm and nonchalant expression on Gu Qingjiu’s face despite the fact that she was apologizing.
This made Qin Huai furious.
He snorted. “Your shooting results are excellent, eh? Up until now you merely managed to hit a fifty-meter stationary target. What’s there to be proud of?”
She had merely hit a fifty-meters stationary target because she had only practiced with the same target so far.
These words were stuck in Gu Qingjiu’s throat, but she said nothing.
Everyone fell silent.
It was way too obvious that the commanding officer was picking on her.
Watching outside the door of the indoor shooting range, Qi Xiaoran saw Gu Qingjiu’s head slightly lowered, and no one could tell what exactly was going on in her mind.
