436: Xiao Niannian became a military academy instructor.

Everyone walked together towards the State-run Restaurant not far from the school gate.

After seeing Xiao Niannian and the others leave, Xiao Yus Father pulled his daughter downstairs, looked around, and said in a serious tone.

"Xiao Yu, are you hiding something from us?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu stomped her foot unhappily.

"Dad, what are you saying? What am I hiding from you?"

Xiao Yu was also very unhappy in her heart.

"Husband, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yus Mother was also displeased.

"Did you offend Meng Ning? Why are her parents treating us like this? Meng Ning's Father is at least a Deputy Division Commander..."

For the past few years, he had always wanted to reach a higher position and had been trying to find a way. If he could be promoted to Deputy Division Commander, he could serve for a few more years, and perhaps by the time he retired, he could even become a Division Commander... That would bring great glory to the Xiao Family.

"I offended Meng Ning? I didn't offend her. Xiao Niannian must have given them some kind of bewitching drug; they've been targeting me and bullying me..."

Xiao Yus Mother heard this and said with a pained heart.

"Mom will go find Xiao Niannian to settle the score; how dare she bully you."

"Stop! Don't go. Something's not right about this situation today..." Generally speaking, there's no deep-seated hatred between children, so why would their attitude be like this? He was a bit puzzled.

What's not right? Xiao Yus Mother looked at her husband unhappily.

Before, she had always maintained a high posture in front of her husband; their family was even slightly better than the Xiao Family.

Now her husband was actually scolding her, making her even angrier.

"What do you mean?"

"This matter isn't right. If it were just a misunderstanding between the children, Meng Ning's parents wouldn't dislike us so much... Just now, I saw the old lady next to Xiao Niannian, and her aunt; they didn't seem like hicks..."

Xiao Yus Father was usually good at reading people, and at this moment, he increasingly felt that the situation was very wrong.

"What old lady? That's just Grandma Xiao Niannian, a hick from the City Name countryside." Xiao Yu said displeased.

Xiao Yus Mother heard her daughter's words and nodded in agreement.

"They were dressed well today, but that's probably their best set of clothes. They must have said bad things about us in front of the Meng family, which is why Meng Ning's parents were so disrespectful..."

Xiao Yus Mother thought that Meng Ning's Father was actually a division-level chief. She looked at her husband; her husband had been active ever since he became a regimental commander. Now there were no vacancies, and it would take a few years to be promoted to Deputy Division Commander, but they should prepare in advance.

The Meng Family Old Chief had an incredibly extensive network of connections. Her father and her father-in-law were just one step away from that back then; otherwise, her status would be much higher than it was now. Why would she need to curry favor with other families' daughters-in-law?

Xiao Yu felt a bit jealous. From childhood, most of her peers did not have as good a family background as hers, and others always flattered her. After coming to this Military Academy, she found that several people had much better backgrounds than her.

Especially that Xiao Niannian, who was clearly a country bumpkin but was incredibly arrogant. She even charmed Shen Yan from the capital to be utterly devoted to her. Xiao Niannian also rallied others, forming a small group to deliberately target them.

Before, Xiao Niannian had led those people in training on the training ground. Initially, there were only Shen Yan and Meng Ning, but later, many people from Class One joined.

They thought Xiao Niannian was just putting on a show, but later, in every assessment, these people's scores improved significantly, and Xiao Niannian even took first place in the entire school.

In subsequent exams, Xiao Niannian consistently held the top spot in the entire school.

"They're going to the State-run Restaurant to eat, so we'll go too and listen to what they're saying..."

Xiao Niannian and her roommates took their elders to the State-run Restaurant.

There were several large tables in the State-run Restaurant. Many people were surprised to see that the large tables also had a smaller, rotating table on top.

"This table is quite novel."

"After the dishes are placed, you can rotate it by hand. My Sister Xiao taught this to the State-run Restaurant."

Shen Yan's voice rang out.

"Hello, Grandma Xiao, Aunt Gu, and all uncles and aunties."

Shen Yan was called over by Xiao Niannian and Meng Ning.

"I am Shen Yan."

Several parents saw Shen Yan and felt that although the young man was a little dark, he was very handsome and had an extraordinary demeanor. Meng Ning's Father, in particular, looked at Shen Yan with much appreciation.

"Hello."

"Come and sit down quickly."

Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing.

Meng Ning's Father went to the front to order food.

Not long after, Meng Ning's Father finished ordering and walked back.

"Xiao Yan, did you secretly go to your father's unit for training?"

Meng Ning's Father asked Shen Yan with a smile.

Shen Yan nodded.

"Yes, I want to train myself more."

Shen Yan replied.

He didn't say that he went to the Special Forces Brigade for training.

"Not bad..."

Meng Nings Mother looked at Shen Yan and also felt that he was very outstanding.

Although she had heard some rumors about Shen Yan before, he hadn't committed any serious mistakes. If a child is a bit rambunctious, then so be it. Her son used to be such a nuisance too.

This child is really good now, so polite.

While it was lively here, the Xiao Yu family's expressions were cold.

Even after the meal, the Xiao Yu family couldn't find an opportunity to approach them.

After dinner, Xiao Niannian and her roommates walked towards the school, while Gu Yuan and Gu Jin escorted Grandma Xiao and Aunt Gu home.

"Daughter, study hard at school and learn more from Niannian..."

"My dear, you have so many good roommates; your parents are very relieved. Learn more from them."

"Daughter, be good, and learn from your roommates..."

Xiao Niannian listened to the elders' words not far away and smiled. These elders were indeed excellent.

Back in the dormitory, Meng Ning, Gao Yao, and Lin Shi looked at Xiao Niannian and asked about the past two months.

"Niannian, what have you been busy with these past two months?"

"Training and studying."

Xiao Niannian replied.

Hearing this, Meng Ning and the others looked at Xiao Niannian in surprise. These past two months, after they returned home, besides running five kilometers every day, they also practiced a bit of other things. But to train for two months and study every day like Niannian, she was truly too outstanding.

"Niannian, you are truly too outstanding."

"Oh my, you're really amazing."

"Wow, you're really pushing yourself."

They all praised Xiao Niannian.

In the following days, Xiao Niannian accelerated her pace, studying even harder than before, and her training astonished everyone.

"Why is Xiao Niannian standing with the Instructors?"

"Could it be that Xiao Niannian is going to be an instructor today?"

"Nonsense, no matter how good she is, she can't be an instructor."

"Maybe there's something she needs to say."

Although the people in Class One were surprised, they all felt that Xiao Niannian was qualified enough.
