After everyone left, each preoccupied with their own thoughts,
Hui Qing smiled and asked, "How has Uncle Xiong been lately?"
Su Bei froze for a moment. "Same as always. Full of energy every day."
"You know Uncle Xiong too?"
That really was rather strange. Although Li Xiongshan was the commander of the Tianhu Military Department, his branch belonged to the Guard Army, and his rank was only Senior Colonel.
So how did he know people everywhere?
It had been the same at the Jinnan Military Department. It was not only Lu Yingyue—when others came to see him, they would also ask about him. And now Hui Qing from True Martial University had appeared.
"We spent some time together before."
Seeming to recall something, Hui Qing did not press further. Instead, he smiled. "And it's not just me. You'll find out in a few days."
"I fought hard for a long time to become your homeroom teacher. Hahaha, being the homeroom teacher of a major—just thinking about it feels great!"
Su Bei said helplessly, "...You just want to slack off, don't you?"
"You have the highest rank. If you don't do it, who will?" Hui Qing laughed. "Besides, everyone else was afraid of the trouble. Your rank is too high, and they were worried you'd be hard to manage. I'm the only one stubborn enough to take it on. Plus, there's my relationship with Uncle Xiong."
Hui Qing was quite familiar and easygoing, speaking without any reservations.
Come to think of it, perhaps Su Bei had simply been lucky. Ever since entering the military, the powerful people he had met had never put on airs before him. Even those with poorer relations merely treated him coldly and handled matters strictly by the book.
Most of them interacted with him as equals.
