Chapter 668: Bet Begins

Shi Man crossed her arms and watched from the side with interest.

Cheng Luo was about the same age as her, but she had such courage and boldness, which surprised her.

After Yue Ming left, Zhang Rui felt that this bet would definitely get Shi Man out of the army, so she did not hide her emotions anymore and walked up to Shi Man to challenge her.

“I didn’t expect to only work with you for half a month before you get chased out. It’s really a pity.”

Shi Man curled her lips slightly, her eyes dark. “You can’t bear to part with me? Then why don’t you join the bet and leave with me?”

“Who wants to go with you!”

Zhang Rui had never seen such a shameless person. She immediately sneered in disgust. “But you still know your limits. You know that you will definitely lose. It’s just that you implicated the first-place student among the female soldiers for nothing. It’s really unlucky to have you.”

“Since you think I’m unlucky, why did you pity me just now?” Shi Man glanced at her lazily. “The competition hasn’t even started, but Instructor Zhang can’t wait to hit me when I’m down. Do you deserve to be called an instructor?”

“I’m not worthy, but are you? Why don’t you take a look at yourself! You want to be a leader with your connections at such a young age? I want to see what you can teach!”

Since Shi Man dared to fall out with her in public, there was naturally no need for her to leave any leeway.

Anyway, Shi Man was definitely going to leave this place. As the winner, she naturally had the right to be proud.

When Shi Man really left, Zhang Rui could take this to Chu Yue and claim credit. Perhaps she could even be promoted at the end of the year!

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui’s eyes became even more smug. She looked at Shi Man as if she was looking at a pile of trash. After taking a look, she looked away in disdain and slowly walked towards the dormitory.

Shi Man stood calmly in the middle of the crowd. She lazily raised her eyelids and glanced around. Her cold gaze immediately made the surrounding people shiver.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the whispers faded. Soon, only two thin figures were left in the night.

Shi Man turned around and left expressionlessly.

Cheng Luo clenched her fists and mustered up the courage to call out to her. “Wait.”

Shi Man stopped in her tracks and turned her head without turning around. “What is it?”

“Will you really train me personally from tomorrow onwards?” Cheng Luo was still a little uncertain.

The rules of the army were strict. Shi Man was not the instructor in charge of her. Could she really apply for a transfer?

Shi Man said coldly, “What I said always counts. Wait for me outside my office tomorrow morning and print out your various physical data and report cards for me.”

Only then did Cheng Luo feel relieved. Surprise and joy finally appeared on her nervous face. “Alright! I’ll definitely be on time tomorrow morning! Thank you, Instructor Shi!”

Shi Man smiled and turned to leave without saying anything.

That night, she told Lu Jun about this bet. Naturally, someone helped her settle all the obstacles.

Therefore, early the next morning, the leader of the army issued a transfer order. The phalanx that Shi Man had originally trained included Cheng Luo’s phalanx. Shi Man was in charge of both groups.

The instructor in charge of Cheng Luo’s phalanx was temporarily assigned other work before the assessment. He would only return to continue being an instructor after the assessment.

Early in the morning, Cheng Luo stood at the office door excitedly. However, before Shi Man could see her, she saw Instructor Zhang, who had come to work after breakfast.

Zhang Rui already knew the latest arrangements of the army regarding Shi Man. Seeing the smile on Cheng Luo’s face, her originally sunny mood suddenly turned gloomy. She couldn’t help but walk over and mock, “You still have the mood to be silly here. If you have the time, why don’t you beg your original instructor and ask her to think of a way to get you out of this bet? Don’t tell me you really think Shi Man is very reliable?”

Cheng Luo was not angry at her ridicule, but the surprise in her eyes had already faded. Instead, she was a little calm. “Instructor Zhang, we’ll only know if Instructor Shi is reliable based on the assessment results.”

Zhang Rui seemed to have heard a huge joke. She couldn’t help but shake her head and say, “Stop joking. Don’t you know your own level? Yue Ming was personally taught by Instructor Chu. His level far exceeds yours. You want to defeat Yue Ming in half a month? Isn’t this a fantasy?”

“Instructor Zhang, you’ve misunderstood.” Cheng Luo narrowed her eyes and secretly clenched her clothes. She cheered herself on in her heart. “The reason why I’m willing to join this bet is not to surpass Yue Ming, but to give myself a chance.”

“What chance?” Zhang Rui said indifferently.

Cheng Luo’s expression was extremely serious. “I want to give myself a chance to prove that although women have some innate disadvantages compared to men, these disadvantages don’t necessarily have to last for a lifetime. They can also be made up for or even surpassed through hard work..”
