"Ah, it's nothing." Officer Zhou came back to her senses and quickly denied it.
"You hang around with the CCTV camera team every day, so you can see the results of the competition. Why do you need the results of the selection for no reason?" Xu Nanguan asked casually after watching the video.
"The results of the competition don't mean anything. The actual level of the troops is more important." Officer Zhou answered without thinking. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she came to her senses and looked at Xu Nanguan angrily with her big eyes.
Secretary Zhou couldn't help but laugh and quickly turned his face to the side.
"Fine, I told you that you were a spy sent by that Yue brat in the southwest. You didn't admit it." Xu Nanguan's scheme worked, so he pointed at his niece proudly.
Officer Zhou rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I'm just looking at the results of the selection. How can I be a spy? You're hiding things. You're not open and aboveboard at all."
"Ha, open and aboveboard? If you're open and aboveboard, why did you ask Xiao Qiao to help you out in the Public Order Squad?" Xu Nanguan asked with a smile.
"I don't want to talk to you. Go to sleep!" Officer Zhou was speechless and got up to leave.
"Hey, your internship is about to end. What are your plans after this?" Xu Nanguan stopped his niece and asked.
"I'm taking the postgraduate entrance exam. I'll continue to go to school." Officer Zhou didn't want to talk, but she still answered honestly.
"It's good to go to school. In the future, the army will be stricter on your qualifications. After you finish your postgraduate studies, if conditions permit, you can continue to study for a master's degree or a doctorate." Xu Nanguan reminded her.
"Got it. I'm going to sleep." Officer Zhou answered impatiently and left the room.

The malice from the female military officer surnamed Zhou did not affect Qu Sen at all. Although he did not sleep for almost the entire night, when he woke up, not only did his cold symptoms disappear without a trace, he also became much more energetic. After watching the bustling events for six days, the Military Region Tournament came to an end.
After the last day of the competition, the soldiers naturally welcomed the traditional program of the army — the banquet.
When large plates of dishes and cartons of beer were placed on the table, the banquet reached its climax from the very beginning. The sound of toasting from table to table could be heard endlessly.
Soldiers were like this. As long as they were together, they would compete with each other no matter what they did. It was the same when it came to drinking. Qu Sen, who could not hold his liquor well, unknowingly drank two bottles of beer.
Soon, the warriors at the neighboring tables began to toast each other. Qu Sen and the other warriors who had achieved good results in the competition naturally became the "target". After drinking countless cups of wine, Qu Sen's stomach began to rebel. Suppressing the urge to embarrass himself, he covered his mouth and ran out of the canteen.
The toilet was outside the cafeteria. The moment Qu Sen rushed in, he couldn't control himself and vomited with a "retch" sound.
After a series of heart-wrenching sounds of vomiting, although his stomach felt better, his throat and nose were still burning due to the gastric acid that came out. Just as he was feeling uncomfortable, another warrior rushed into the toilet, completely ignoring Qu Sen who was standing there swaying. He rushed into the squatting position and began to repeat Qu Sen's previous actions.
Seeing that the other person had half a bottle of mineral water in his pocket, Qu Sen knew that this person was definitely experienced in the "battlefield". With the help of the alcohol, he walked over. With one hand holding onto the cement wall between the squatting positions, he used the other hand to pull out the mineral water from the other person's pocket. He unscrewed the cap and took a sip to rinse his mouth. Then, he raised his head and gulped down half a bottle of mineral water.
Until Qu Sen staggered out of the toilet, the veteran who was vomiting dizzily did not realize that the mineral water in his pocket had disappeared without a trace.
Standing in front of the cafeteria and listening to the noisy voices inside urging him to drink, Qu Sen's head finally sobered up a little. He thought that if he went back now, he would definitely be forced to drink again, so he might as well go back to the dorm.
After making up his mind, he turned around and began to stagger back. However, not long after, not only did his head become more and more dizzy, his stomach began to rebel again.
He looked around and saw that there was no suitable place, so he simply sat down on the curb and silently fought against his stomach.
"Are you okay?" A voice sounded beside Qu Sen.
Qu Sen raised his head and tried his best to focus his gaze. When he saw the two bars and four stars on the other party's shoulders, he quickly stood up and tried his best to stand at attention. Just as he was about to speak, he quickly turned around and vomited on the grass behind him.
"Your alcohol tolerance is not good, you still have to practice!" Two Bars and Four did not care about Qu Sen's loss of composure and even reached out to pat him on the back.
First, he vomited some clear water, then he retched a few times. After vomiting some sour and bitter mucus, Qu Sen finally felt a little better. He stood up and wanted to speak, but his throat was choked by the stomach acid and he could not make a sound.
Two Bars and Four had seen this situation many times, so he smiled and unscrewed the cap of the cup in his hand and handed it to Qu Sen.
Qu Sen's mouth was really uncomfortable, so he did not care about being polite and took the cup of water from the other person and drank.
It was tea. It was very thick and the water temperature was slightly hot, but he did not care about that. After a few gulps, he poured all the tea into his stomach. After drinking it all, he returned the cup to Qu Sen and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, chief."
"What's your name? Where are you from?" Two Bars and Four heard Qu Sen's accent and smiled as he asked the usual opening statement of a chief in the army when he met a soldier.
"Reporting to chief, my name is Qu Sen. I'm from Danhai."
Two Bars and Four carefully looked at Qu Sen's face when they heard that he was from Danhai. Suddenly, they asked in surprise, "Do you know Qu Baoping?"
Qu Sen was stunned by the question. He looked at Two Bars and Four in front of him and said honestly, "Uh … My father is Qu Baoping."
"You're Qu Baoping's son?" Two Bars and Four asked in surprise.
"I … should be!" Qu Sen originally wanted to say 'if there is no one with the same name, you should be', but then he realized that there was no 'should', so he subconsciously stood up and answered.
"No wonder I look like you … You've grown so big." Two Bars and Four sighed softly. He looked at Qu Sen who didn't know what was going on and smiled, "My name is Yue Jianjun. I'm your father's comrade. You can ask him later."
Qu Sen had never heard his father mention Yue Jianjun's name before. He didn't know what to say and could only stand there blankly.
Yue Jianjun glanced at the military rank on Qu Sen's shoulder and asked, "Which unit are you in right now? Did you come here to participate in the competition?"
"I'm in the 16th regiment of the 22nd division. I came here to participate in the 400m steeplechase," Qu Sen answered honestly.
"Participate in the 400m steeplechase? How are your results? " Yue Jianjun squinted his eyes. He came from the southern military region. This time, he came as a guest to watch the competition of the central military region. Because he was focused on the technical soldier category in the next few days, he came a little late and didn't pay attention to the 400m steeplechase.
When he was asked about his results, Qu Sen was a little embarrassed and a little happy as he answered, "I got first place."
"First place?" Yue Jianjun was even more surprised. He looked at Qu Sen again and sighed, "Not bad, good kid. You've only been in the military for a few months and you got first place in the military region competition. You're much better than your father when he was young."
Qu Sen didn't know how to respond to this, so he could only pretend to be honest and smile.
"How's your family? Why did you come here to join the military?" Yue Jianjun asked Qu Sen about his family. Qu Sen naturally answered in full detail.
The two chatted for a long time. Yue Jianjun saw Qu Sen standing there, swaying. He asked for Qu Sen's home phone number and told him to go back and rest.
