Gu Ningxuan is very talented and capable. Of course, if he could change his personality a bit, his future might be even brighter. After all, he is a man with the potential to become a Marshal. She doesn’t believe Gu Ningxuan will remain silent for long...

Actually, Su Jiameng now has a bold idea. Should she try to win him over while he’s down? Regardless of whether the future Insect Race disaster occurs on time, Su Jiameng feels it is very necessary to develop her own influence. But right now, she’s just a "sixteen-year-old girl with a child," a status that limits her development and makes it difficult to recruit others...

This reality is truly frustrating... Su Jiameng hasn’t ruled out returning to the Military Department. Based on her abilities, her future achievements wouldn’t be low. But with such internal issues within the Alliance and her lack of any grounding, entering the Military Department would be quite challenging.

After thinking it over, she feels it’s better to rack her brains and develop her own influence... The problem circles back to the original point: how can she recruit people willing to work for her? It certainly can’t be done openly, it must be done in secret.

Gu Ningxuan is indeed a very good target. Strong, potential, good character, a very promising loyal type of guy! But his identity also has a fatal flaw: he’s a child of the Gu Family, once the heir of the direct lineage!

If she can’t win him over, at least having him as an ally would be beneficial. Having things to ask him for help with in the future would be much easier with him on her side! With this in mind, Su Jiameng wants to probe him a bit, to see what he’s really aiming for. If he’s aiming for the Military Department... she might as well give up!

"Hmm?" Gu Ningxuan looked at her doubtfully, struggling to speak, "Miss Su... what do you mean by this?"

"You won’t be my mechanic for life, will you?" Su Jiameng smiled slightly, the flush on her face hadn’t faded, making her smile look particularly... appetizing? Gu Ningxuan felt ashamed of his thoughts.

Gu Xiaosan fell silent. As for his future, he really didn’t know. Before the incident, he only thought about working harder and harder, becoming a Lieutenant General, Vice Admiral, or even Admiral, as expected by his family. It would be even better if he could go further. But after one mistake and leaving the Gu Family, not only his life collapsed but also his future, he even didn’t know where to go or how to live in the future...

For someone with such a strict approach as him, having no definite future or goal is truly painful. The job Su Jiameng offered him took away some of his inner confusion, but he still didn’t have a specific goal to strive for...

"I... I guess... I haven’t figured it out yet..." Gu Ningxuan said with difficulty, not daring to look into her eyes, fearing to see any disdain or scorn. He didn’t like seeing those things in her eyes, "Take it one step at a time for now."

"Haven’t thought about going to the Military Department?" Su Jiameng asked curiously, while understanding that without Xilena’s diploma, enlisting shouldn’t be a problem.

"Still better not, it’s no use going there..." Gu Ningxuan suddenly shut his mouth and rather stiffly changed the subject, "Miss Su... why are you suddenly asking this question? Is there something troubling you?"

"No... just simply curious." Su Jiameng thought, based on Gu Ningxuan’s attitude, it seems that the situation regarding what happened to him is quite serious...

Yes, according to Rebirth Sister’s diary, such an incident occurring to the offspring of an aristocratic family in the military and political realm is severe enough to be a lifelong stain. Even if he enters the Military Department without the Gu Family’s support, he would only face various suppressions and would never rise to prominence! Even if he somehow rises, if someone with ulterior motives brings this incident to light, the situation would become even more serious.

Ugh... Transmigration Sister being "exceedingly talented," Rebirth Sister causing "endless harm," both women are restless. The best thing Rebirth Sister might have done is to tip off the Gu Family in advance about the attack event happening?

Gu Ningxuan didn’t want to say much about that incident, and Su Jiameng didn’t want to be annoying, "Um... Gu Ningxuan, if you really don’t have any goals for the future, you can continue to stay with me... there’s a raise and benefits!"

Gu Ningxuan: "..." His previous labor contract was a direct five-year body sale, wasn’t that enough?

Su Jiameng thinks now is not the best time to recruit people, planning to observe for a few more days, confirming there are no issues before revealing what can be revealed... She held her forehead, wondering why the transmigrators in books are all cool and domineering, their intense presence shaking the four corners, with all sorts of lackeys submission, but when it comes to her, she can’t even win over a Gu Ningxuan?

Is it because she lacks this domineering aura, or is Gu Ningxuan too high-level, making the strategy difficult?

However, the thought of having the "future Marshal be a lackey" is really delightful—her imagination couldn’t stop!

"Oh... by the way, I forgot one more thing..." Su Jiameng smacked her forehead, suddenly realizing, "Gu Ningxuan, do you know about the very popular challenge thread on Qimingxing Forum? I’m the thread starter, the one who messes with people extensively, but I’m currently facing a small problem. A thousand-person level melee is about to start, but I’m not ready with the participants yet..."

"Uh... melee? Do you have a team?" Gu Ningxuan pondered, given his current situation, it seems he can’t go to the Mecha Fighting Arena... otherwise his dad might really come and cripple him!

"Yes!" Su Jiameng said seriously, "Counting K3 and you, a total of... six people!"

Looking at Su Jiameng holding out one hand with another finger, Gu Xiaosan was completely embarrassed. Six people... the lowest limit is a thousand people, where are the other nine hundred ninety-four guys? Did you swallow them? (To be continued.
