Volume 1: The Starting Chapter 17: Undergoing Training

  Xia Wenjie himself found it amusing, yes, he had been sitting behind Hu Binbin for three whole years and only now realized that her smile was so beautiful it could make one's heart skip a beat.

  He took a deep breath, looked around and saw that the large residential area was very quiet with few pedestrians. He changed his tone and asked: "Has your family not arrived yet?"

  "It's just ahead." Hu Binbin raised his hand and pointed forward.

  Xia Wenjie looked in the direction of her finger, and on that side were uniform villas, each with its own building and courtyard.

  I didn't expect that, it turns out her family is so wealthy. The housing prices in this neighborhood are already expensive enough, and the price of villas is even higher, which ordinary people can't afford.

  Hu Binbin is usually a bit overbearing in school, but that's just because of her 'strong body' being overbearing, she has never shown off her wealth before. Now that Xia Wenjie understands her family situation, he actually appreciates this aspect of hers.

  "We're here, this is my home, easy to find, right?" Hu Binbin stopped in front of the first villa and turned back to smile at Xia Wenjie while taking out the key.

  Xia Wenjie nodded, although the villa was located in the innermost part of the district, it was indeed easy to find. He said to Hu Binbin: "Okay, you hurry back home, I should go back too."

  "Why don't you come in and sit down?"

  "No, and it's too late anyway." He lifted his wrist and tapped on his watch, indicating that it was already 9 o'clock at night.

  Hu Binbin put down the key and turned around, asking: "During the holidays, can I find you to go out and play together?"

  Xia Wenjie looked at himself in confusion, and Hu Binbin immediately said: "It's just going out to eat together. My parents are often not at home, and eating alone is boring."

  "Going out to eat isn't necessarily clean either. When I have a chance, I can let you try my cooking skills."

  "Can you cook?" Hu Binbin looked at him with a surprised expression as if he had discovered a new continent.

  Xia Wenjie said calmly, "I know a little." He was being polite, after all these years, if he only ate his brother's cooking every day, he estimated that he would have gotten stomach problems long ago.

  Hu Binbin nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Good, we have an agreement. When the time comes, I'll call you, you can't stand me up, you must cook for me."

  Her lovely appearance filled with expectation also warmed Xia Wenjie's heart.

  The two were talking when the lights in the villa's courtyard suddenly lit up, followed by the sound of the door opening. A middle-aged man with a sturdy build walked out from inside.

  He was nearly one meter nine tall, dark and robust, without any sign of middle-aged spread, with a cold gaze, he looked like a moving half iron tower.

  "Bin Bin, is the class reunion over?" Along with the low and deep voice, a sturdy middle-aged man opened the courtyard door and walked out. Although he was speaking to Hu Bin Bin, his sharp eyes were sizing up Xia Wenjie from head to toe.

  Seeing him, Xia Wenjie didn't need to ask to guess his identity. Hu Binbin's eyes and eyebrows had the same heroic spirit as his acquaintance. Now, he could also understand why Hu Binbin would grow up to be tall and strong, which was completely controlled by genetic inheritance.

  "He nodded and said: 'Hello, Uncle.'"

  As expected, Hu Binbin turned around and said, "Dad, he's my classmate, Xia Wenjie."

  "Oh, you're Xia Wenjie. Benben still mentions you often at home." A hint of a smile finally appeared on the robust middle-aged man's stern face.

  Hu Binbin's face turned red as he muttered in a low voice: "How often..."

  "Since you're Binbin's classmate, then come on in and take a seat."

  "No, Uncle, it's too late, I should head home too."

  "I'll drive you back."

  "No need, no need, Uncle, it's too much trouble. I'll just go outside and hail a taxi."

  Although Mr. Hu's attitude was still quite polite, Xia Wenjie could feel that Mr. Hu's scrutinizing gaze had been fixed on him all along, just like an old wolf protecting its cub, and he wasn't foolish enough to take Mr. Hu's courtesy as a genuine invitation.

  "Ah, okay then, Wenjie you take care."

  "Goodbye, Uncle." Xia Wenjie's gaze shifted and he looked at Hu Binbin standing beside him. She was now as obedient as a mouse seeing a cat, smiling and waving goodbye. "Bye bye," he said, turning around and walking out of the neighborhood.

  When Xia Wenjie walked far away, Hu Fu finally withdrew his gaze and said: "Bin Bin, this classmate of yours is quite polite."

  "Yes, Dad, they sent me home, why didn't you even invite them in for a sit?"

  "Why didn't I invite him in to sit? He wanted to leave himself."

  "Dad, your eyes are wide open like a cowbell, who dares to go in and sit now......" Hu Binbin muttered discontentedly.

  "Alright, alright, hurry back to your room and sleep. It's so late and you're just getting back, I haven't even scolded you yet."

  "Dad..."

  "Go back to sleep quickly."

  Hu Binbin thought she would soon meet Xia Wenjie again and eat the dishes he cooked with his own hands, even in her dreams, she was full of happiness. However, what she didn't expect was that Xia Wenjie's phone had been turned off for a whole holiday, not just one or two days.

  Xia Wenjie turned off his phone, but it wasn't to avoid Hu Binbin. It was because something unexpected happened soon after the class reunion ended.

  Not long after he got up that morning, his mobile phone rang. He picked it up and heard that it was a call from Yu Yaohui.

  He didn't call himself, he was about to call him, and he wanted to explain the Gaokao thing to him. What needed to be verified had already been verified by himself, and he should tell the truth to others.

  Xia Wenjie said during the conversation: "Yu Ju, there is something I want to tell you about."

  "It's inconvenient on the phone. If there's anything, let's talk about it when we meet. I'm at that Zhen Guo coffee shop on Yan'an Road right now. Can you come over immediately? By the way, can you find this place?"

  Xia Wenjie smiled wryly and said, "I can, I'll go right now."

  D city has only a few authentic coffee shops, even if you haven't been in, you've passed by. Before 9 o'clock, Xia Wenjie arrived at the authentic coffee shop, and Yu YaoHui was sitting near the window, easy to find.

  This time he was alone, when Xia Wenjie arrived, he was holding a file folder and looking at the files.

  Yu Ju." Xia Wenjie stood still beside the table.

  "You're quite punctual! Please, have a seat." Yu Yaohui gestured to the chair across from him and smiled, "In private, there's no need for such formality. Don't call me Director Yu, just Uncle Yu will do."

  "Good." Xia Wenjie responded with a single word and sat down across from Yu Yaohui. At this time, the waiter walked over and asked: "What can I get you to drink, sir?"

  "Coffee." Xia Wenjie said casually.

  The waiter's expression was complex, this is a coffee shop, and most of the customers who come in are here to drink coffee. The key is what kind of coffee you want to order. Yu Yao Hui smiled and said to the waiter: "Bring me two sets of your breakfast combos."

  "Alright, you two please wait a moment." The waiter nodded and then turned around and walked away.

  Xia Wenjie was very obedient at this time, and his title to Yu YaoHui changed quickly and naturally. He asked: "Uncle Yu, what's the matter with you finding me this time?"

  "Wenjie, it's like this, the audit is very strict, usually requiring multiple layers of review, screening and auditing. Someone like you who is an exception is rarely seen, and due to the special nature of the audit itself, there can't be any exceptions either. Do you understand what I mean?"

  "So I still can't join the audit?" Xia Wenjie asked in confusion.

  "Of course not, I've taken a liking to you, how could I possibly give up on you so easily?" Yu Yao Hui smiled and said: "I've especially signed you up for a training class, or more accurately, it should be called a boot camp. This boot camp is very famous, among insiders, it's extremely well-known. The first phase of the training lasts three months, if we start counting from now, it will delay your enrollment at the police academy, but not by too much. Besides, I've already made arrangements with the school and they agree to let you report a few days late."

  Xia Wenjie's eyebrows were furrowed, how come he liked to take charge of himself so much! He didn't know anything about himself, but he had already signed up for some kind of crazy training camp.

  He waved his hand and said: "Yu Shu, what kind of training camp are you talking about? What is the nature of this training camp?"

  Yu Yao Hui smiled and pulled out a few documents from the folder, handing them to Xia Wen Jie, saying: "This is some simple information about the training camp, take a look first."

  Xia Wenjie took the file, looked down and glanced at it, only to see the title, he almost burst out laughing, on which was written in bold font: Lei Feng Training Camp Introduction.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  "Indeed a household name, as soon as this name is mentioned, people all over the country will know. He looked at it and asked: "Yu Shu, won't this be a training camp for spreading patriotic education?"

  "That's not it, actually it's similar to military training in college, the rest time is the same as in a military camp, look at the back, there's an introduction at the back."

  Xia Wenjie flipped over to the back of the document as he was reminded.

  Yu Yao Hui said: "The Lei Feng training camp has a total of four periods, just in time for you to use the winter and summer vacations at the police school to participate in the training. In fact, I'm doing this to help you get ahead too. Anyone who comes out of the Lei Feng training camp will not only be impressive but also have a bright future. That's more useful than any university degree, master's or doctoral degree. As long as you complete the training at the Lei Feng training camp, I'll specially recruit you into the audit department and it will be set in stone. No one will say anything negative about you anymore, Wen Jie, how about it? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that others can't even think of getting."

  Xia Wenjie never believed that there would be a free lunch in this life, and although Yu YaoHui was talking nonsense in front of him, who knows what tricks he had up his sleeve!

  "Is that all I'm going to do, just go for training? Is there no other task?" Xia Wenjie's gaze slowly lifted from the file and fell on Yu Yaohui's face.

  Yu Yao Hui's expression turned puzzled instead, and he asked back: "What other tasks could there be? You're just going for training, of course."
