Rules of Engagement

Chapter 29 In the Arms of the Chief Editor (Part Two)

"Ma'am, let's go to the training ground now!"

On the training ground, there were strong and vigorous figures exercising in capture and grapple. It seemed that everyone was full of energy and the atmosphere was very hot.

"When can we have lunch?" Asked Cindy, gradually losing her interest.

"At the lunch time." Johnny said coldly.

After all, Cindy was not so familiar with Johnny. Hearing what he said, Cindy was stunned. So she decided to stop complaining and walked forward with them.

Elsa tried her best to remember the ways, the trainings of the army, etc. These might be helpful for her work. Even if it was only an interview, learning more in advance would make the task more convenient to complete.

She watched it carefully. In the army base, everyone was making big strides. They were tall and upright, with a spirit of rectitude. People would easily be infected by this scene, and felt their blood boiling. Suddenly, Elsa thought of Soren. It dawned on her that she hadn't asked him which army was he from, where was the base or what was his designation. She felt a little sad. It was a sudden decision for her to come here. She had never mentioned this to him before, so she was not sure if it would be convenient for him to answer her phone.

Elsa stood there and didn't know whether she should text him or not. In this way, he could see her message when he was free and he wouldn't be worried when he didn't see her at home. When Elsa lowered her head thinking about him, Soren coincidentally led a few leaders coming towards this direction. They were all high-ranking seniors, who listened to Soren's report while nodding in approval from time to time.

Soren inherited the mildness of his mother, but when he put on his suit, his courageous and resolute look would add brilliance to his masculine charm. The leaders were very satisfied with him. An old man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "The world will belong to you young people in the future. Ren, you're one of the best of the young generation, the most outstanding talent. I think highly of you. Don't let us down." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Grandpa Adam, I'm flattered." Soren said modestly.

These leaders came here not only for work, but mostly for private reasons, so Soren didn't directly call them by their positions, but addressed them in a casual way.

"Ren is highborn, of course he should be outstanding. His grandfather and his father were both the most talented people in their families. Like father like son! Ha-ha!"

Soren, being praised by everyone present, kept calm and mild. He was neither proud nor humble. "I'm flattered. This way, please. Let's go to the training ground to have a look."

He led the way in the front. He had been accepting the praise with his eyes looking down. When he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, he found that there were several people standing in the open space in totally different dressing style, and the most familiar one was Elsa!

Was she here? Did she miss him too?

The corners of Soren's mouth lifted into a sly smile.

The men here all had good eyesight, and the others also saw Elsa and her colleagues. Adam Xu asked with a smile, "Ren, what are they doing here?"

"Grandpa Adam, Lingchuan Daily had come to communicate with us. They said that according to the demands of the superior, we should enhance the promotion of the army base this year, so their reports

will be more detailed than previous years. Those people should come from the newspaper." Soren said as he thought about it. It meant that Elsa would stay here for a month?

"Let's go and have a look." Said Adam with a smile, "It's a good idea to tell people what we are doing here. We are not wasting the money of the taxpayers."

At this moment, Soren was a little absent-minded. He tried his best to calm himself down and didn't show any expression on his face. Then he followed the leaders to the training ground.

When they started to walk toward there, Elsa and her colleagues had finished their tour and headed in another direction. Eventually, Soren could no longer see Elsa. He regained his composure and decided to take his time. After all, he would have one month to stay with her here in the army base. Then be began to make a detailed introduction to the leaders.

The army base covered a large area. After a long walk, it was time for lunch. The sergeant arranged for them to have lunch in the canteen.

The food was quite good. There were meat, fish and soup in the menu. They could eat as they liked, but there was only one rule: food should not be wasted. Everyone here had their own plates, and like the soldiers in the army, they should wait in a line to get their food. When it was Elsa's turn, she was scared by the dishes. She only ordered a spoonful of rice and a bowl of soup. She thought that the soup should be of seaweed and egg. She didn't dare to touch any other dishes.

Then she came back and sat down.

"Why do you eat so little?" Todd Lu asked with curiosity and concern. He didn't know Elsa well, because they were not in the same department. He had heard that she was a hard worker. In the past, as she was always dressed in an old spinster's style, he had thought that she was an "iron lady" who could eat more than a man.

"I don't eat much." Elsa did not explain it carefully.
