The next day, at the Federation Military District Headquarters.

“Why, have you been scolded again?” He poked his colleague who had just come out of Marshal Ning’s office. The man had a sympathetic look on his face as he patted his shoulder. “Forget it, Marshal Ning has high expectations. It’s not like you don’t know...”

Previously, their commander-in-chief of the Military District was Old Master Zhang. He had always had an amiable personality, but now, the position was suddenly taken up by Ning Yiyuan. The tempo and requirements had increased quite a lot, and people really could not get used to it in a short period of time.

However, they had to admit that Marshal Ning was indeed capable. He had just taken over the matters of the Military District and was already in an orderly manner. He had accomplished several major tasks, and his efficiency was outstanding!

If it had been someone else, they probably would not have been able to figure out the handover at hand!

“... No, it’s not that.” The man who was holding the document shook his head. There was still a look of disbelief on his face. He swallowed his saliva before he finished what he wanted to say, “This document has been approved. Furthermore, Marshal Ning... Marshal Ning even gave me a smile just now.”

Damn it, he was almost scared to death back then!

One had to know that when they went in to hand in the document two days ago, it was really indescribable torture.

Ning Yiyuan did not do anything. He only used that cold and icy gaze to stare at you. It was enough to make one’s bones go numb, alright! In the end, just now... Marshal Ning actually smiled at him!

Although the angle of the corner of his mouth was very small, he definitely did not see it wrongly!

“... are you not feeling well today?” The man had a serious expression that said, “Don’t think that you can lie to me just because I’m young.”

“If you really can’t do it, then go lie down in the treatment device. Don’t force yourself, eh?” Look at this pitiful child. He was already sick to the point of hallucinating…

“This kid didn’t lie to you!” With Ning Yiyuan’s promotion, even Zuo Lin and Zhong Wen followed him. Seeing this scene, Zuo Lin was happy to chime in as well.

Of course! His Boss was finally able to be ‘Justified’. Naturally, he liked everything at this moment!

... Huh?

As soon as these words were said, all the people in the Military District’s headquarters moved their ears closer, their eyes shining.

In fact, their personal abilities were not bad. Otherwise, they would not have been able to enter the headquarters. However, they were used to working under Commander Zhang, so they were really not used to Marshal Ning’s style at this moment.

In just a few short days, all of them had been baptized by Ning Yiyuan’s ‘cold gaze’. Now, when it came to entering Marshal Ning’s office, everyone’s little hearts were still beating non-stop!

When Zuo Lin opened his mouth at this moment, everyone’s spirits were immediately jolted!

In addition, there was also an example of ‘showing up and saying it’. The trust in everyone’s hearts could not help but deepen a little.

“That... how about I go and try first?” A colleague who was about to submit his information took the initiative to volunteer. Everyone immediately stared at him with expectant eyes.

Sob sob... The man standing at the office door could not help but wail in his heart. He took the initiative to volunteer, my ass! If it was not because it was already the deadline given by Marshal Ning, he would not have been willing to go either, okay?

Taking a deep breath, under the fervent gazes of the crowd, the man had a heroic look on his face as he extended his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock knock–

“Come in.” Ning Yiyuan’s voice was still as cold as ever, as if there was not the slightest sign of ice melting.

The man’s heart could not help but tremble. Damn it, once he entered, would nothing happen to him?

…

15 minutes later.

The door was pushed open again.

The man who was originally worried now had a dull look on his face.

“Hurry up and tell me, how is it?” The colleague next to him immediately went up and surrounded a large group of people.

“...”

After a long silence, the man was finally freed from his dull state and immediately became excited. Even his words were a little incoherent, “After reading my information... Marshal Ning directly let me pass, and even praised me for doing a good job!”

The man was still a little dizzy at this moment. Marshal Ning praised him for doing a good job... Instantly, he felt extremely confident!

Hearing this, the eyes of the other colleagues could not help but light up.

Each and every one of them picked up the documents that had long been prepared on the table, and eagerly lined up outside the office door. It would be foolish not to seize such a good opportunity!

As for the other staff members, they began to wail. They had already handed in their work documents two days ago, but they had not managed to make it in time. It could not be any more tragic!

…

Thus, on this morning, the efficiency of the entire Military District command was exceptionally high.

When the work was done, Zuo Lin and Zhong Wen finally had the chance to step into Ning Yiyuan’s office. When they saw it, they could not help but click their tongues. Look! This man who was about to swear was really different!

His face was filled with love…

It was Zuo Lin and Zhong Wen. These two had followed Ning Yiyuan for so long, so they were naturally aware of the changes in his emotions. If it was anyone else, they probably would not be able to see any traces of it on his cold face.

“Sit.” Ning Yiyuan put down the document in his hand and nodded at the two of them. “A, go get some water.”

As soon as he said that, a red light flashed on the head of the robot standing in the corner of the office. It immediately started up, took two cups of water from the side, and handed them to the two of them. Without hearing any other instructions, it obediently walked back to the corner, it turned its head and continued to pretend to be a fake potted plant.

“Aiyo! It’s really different.” After drinking a mouthful of water, Zuo Lin, who had always been talkative, winked at Zhong Wen and said, “Look, in the past, when the two of us came in, how could we get such good treatment?”

“Exactly!” Even Zhong Wen could not help but tease it.

The two of them had just entered the office, and they found that their Boss was in a good mood today. The temperature of the entire office directly rose from freezing cold to the normal temperature!

“Alright, stop fooling around!”Thecorners of Ning Yiyuan’s mouth curled up. “How are the things that I asked you to order?”

When it came to serious matters, Zuo Lin did not dare to laugh anymore. “Boss, I’m handling things. Don’t worry, we will not settle for anything but the best. They should have been sent to Mo Chu by now.”

“That’s good.” When he heard this, the smile on Ning Yiyuan’s lips deepened.

That expression of his really made the two of them envious! Zhong Wen and Zuo Lin looked at each other. F*ck, they felt as if their eyes were going to be blinded by the light!

On the other side.

Mo Chu, who had received the items, had a look of shock on his face.

F*ck! There were too many of these things!

Looking at the various exquisite boxes that occupied the entire living room, as well as those that had to be stacked because there was not enough space... Mo Chu’s brows could not help but twitch. “These were all sent by Ning Yiyuan?”

The person who came to deliver the items was a soldier. He seemed to have a meticulous personality. First, he gave Little Chu a standard military salute and only spoke after he put down his hand, “Yes, these were all sent by Marshal Ning. This is the list. You can click on it.”

As she spoke, she handed Mo Chu a list of gifts. The list was densely packed with words, causing Mo Chu to feel dizzy.

Even so, she knew that these gifts were definitely worth a lot. The first few sets of top-notch jewelry were considered treasures in the 21st century, let alone now!

“That, there’s no need...” To be honest, Mo Chu was too embarrassed to ask for such a precious gift from Ning Yiyuan. She hurriedly handed the list back. “I appreciate your kindness. You should take the items back.”

From the corner of her eye, she inadvertently glanced at the military badge on the man’s shoulder. Damn, two red bars, and a star. This rank was not low. It was a little overkill to use him as a courier, right?

This soldier was also very agile! He turned his body slightly and dodged Mo Chu’s hand. He was stunned and did not take the list. With a serious face, he said, “I’m sorry, this is my mission. I have to complete it. The item has already been delivered. Please check it.”

It was because Ning Yiyuan had guessed that Mo Chu would not accept these gifts that Ning Yiyuan had specially assigned this soldier to deliver them. After all, this guy was famous for being stubborn!

“There’s really no need. Look, the items have already been delivered. Your mission has also been completed.” Looking at the gifts all over the place, Mo Chu felt as if she was looking at all the gold on the ground. Even if she kept them, her heart would not be at ease! “As for whether I keep them or not, that’s my business, right? So, help me take these things back.”

“No!”

…

Oh my, what the heck! This soldier is really amazing!

Mo Chu had been talking for a long time, but he did not change his mind. He just stared at Mo Chu with a righteous face, refusing to take the items back.

In the end, Mo Chu had no choice but to lie on the sofa to catch her breath...

“Yo, who gave this to him? He’s really... inhumane!” Mo Chu clicked her tongue and looked sideways. She just happened to see his big brother followed by Qin Yue and Almighty Song. The three of them were walking in!

Of course, other than Qin Yue, who was a joke, no one else could say it.

“Marshal Ning gave it to her?” Upon seeing the soldier in the middle of the living room, Song Qingsong immediately reacted. He smiled at Mo Chu, his eyes filled with ridicule.

“Yes.”Mo Chu nodded.

“Tsk tsk, this is a huge sum of money!” Qin Yue took a glance. So many things filled up the huge living room. There was not even a place to lay down!

Even Song Qingsong could not help but nod in agreement. With a casual glance, these were treasures that could not be bought with money. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were priceless. To be able to give them all to Mo Chu… It was enough to see Ning Yiyuan’s intentions.

“Eh? That’s not right!” Qin Yue’s eyes suddenly flashed as he asked in a gossipy manner, “Little Chu, didn’t Marshal Ning transfer all his private property to your name back then? How does he still still have the money to buy these things?”

Without waiting for Mo Chu to reply, Qin Yue seemed to have understood himself all of a sudden. His eyes lit up, “Haha, I got it. This kid must have hidden his private money!”

The moment this topic was mentioned, Qin Yue immediately became excited and his imagination started to run wild. “Little Chu, do you see that? Just by swearing an oath now, Ning Yiyuan dares to keep so much private money. When you two get married in the future, he will definitely be so happy!”

“No, we have to control this! We have to control it well!” Hmph! They were clearly of the same age, how could Ning Yiyuan’s have so much assets? The moment he compared himself to Ning Yiyuan, he felt miserable!
