"Why don't you consider transferring to a better department? Staying here working overtime night after night with no prospects, what's there to be sentimental about?"
"I like this bunch of colleagues. Otherwise, why don't you just transfer everyone away and assign all five of us to the Special Arrest Team?"
"Get out of my office immediately," the Commander barked, pointing towards the door.
"Alright."
Gu Xia stood up, smiling, and turned to leave.
After Gu Xia had left, the Commander slumped down in his chair, shaking his head.
This young lady really was a thorn in his side. It seemed she wasn't that easy to manipulate after all. It looked like fulfilling a promise to an old friend was not going to be easy.
Gu Xia, holding her insulated mug, had a war of words with the Commander and had to stifle her laughter.
She could even imagine, after she left, how the Commander might be angrily slamming his desk and glaring.
But she couldn't help being stubborn.
