章 383: Asking Her Out

"Sister Mei, do you think that she is really that capable?" a young man asked the woman beside him. Shu Mei was the best of the few ladies working there. The many men there couldn't wait to get into her good books. This made her feel very good about herself. Therefore, Xinghe's sudden arrival irked her greatly.

Shu Mei answered nonchalantly, "Who knows, but she manages to become the second-in-command the day she arrived, I bet her looks and connections have many things to do with it."

"I think so too, but our leader is not someone who would do something like that."

"Didn't he say that this woman is Major Xi's guest?"

"But Major Xi is not someone who would bend the rules due to someone's connection as well."

"Major Xi managed to be a Major at his young age. Think about it, other than his capability, what other factors could have been in play?" Shu Mei whispered in meaningful manner.
