Chapter 34 From Now On We are Rivals in Love
After he briefly nced at Bill, Brian continued to pack his things, and said: "Just be obedient and stay
in the military camp and maybe J may note to the training. I''ve heard that now she''s the
assistant CEO. Do you really think it is necessary for an assistant CEO to join the training?"
''Assistant CEO?'' A severe, cold face came to Bill''s mind, and then suddenly called out a name:
"Daniel!"
''Is Jane Daniel''s special assistant? ''What is Jane doing? Why did she choose to work as an assistant
CEO at the SL Group in a domain that doesn''t even matches with what she majored in?''
"And, " began Brian. He remembered of a piece of entertainment news which he had just seen by
chance, and said to Bill, "I''ve learned a rumor which is widely spread on the inte that J is
actually Daniel''s fiancee, but Daniel already announced that he has a girlfriend. After all, it is, very
Bill was unconvinced, an while he curled his lips, he said, "It is just a joke. Jane just graduated and it''s
impossible for her to be Daniel''s fiancee."
Brian looked at Bill, and said, "You should go back now. If you still want to write to her, I can help you
send the letters."
Bill didn''t write to her any more, because thest letter Jane sent him had already broken his heart.
He got disappointed at the thought of it, and still trying to rx, he said, "Brian, from now on we are
rivals in love." He had to train himself hard and continuously strove to get rid of his father and
grandfather''s control. In this case, he could get a lot of time to go after Jane after he gained his
freedom.
''How does Bill know so much about Jane?'' thought Brian. He suddenly became serious, and shouted
at Bill, "Get out! If you dare say another word, you''ll have 100 push-ups as punishment!"
Bill felt even more distressed now and left. While passing by the training field he started running like a

madman, eager to be quickly armed with twenty pounds of heavy burden and to begin the cross-
country running.
He now had to train better and work even hard in order to be a full member of the military at an
earlier time. When he would manage to get a higher ranking position than Brian''s, and have the upper
hand, only then he could go after Jane and betroth her.
But would Jane also be willing to wait for him so long?
In the northern suburb of the city
Samuel personally took his daughter to the camp and sighed when he saw the camp''s strict and tough
condition.
He tried to persuade his daughter again: "Jane, you can return home with me. You don''t have to go
through such hardships."
J waved her hand at him, and said, "Father, I''m not a child anymore, and I have decided I want to
undergo the military training."
"Do you remember the time you fainted during your junior high training? I''ll be worried sick about you if
such a thing happens again."
J, of course, remembered. She had fainted because at that time she was also on her period like
she was now, and because she was sitting under the zing sun for over two hours.
"Father, I feel healthier after all these years. I won''t faint again." And she was right. After several years
of careful nursing, her overall condition had improved during her period. She couldn''t be as weak as
she was in junior high.
Samuel failed to persuade his daughter, so now he had nothing left to do but leave. Before his
departure, he spoke to J, "You have to take good care of yourself here, and call me immediately if
there is anything you need. Also, I''ve sent some guards here for you, and you can ask them anytime to
help you if you find yourself in any sort of difficulty or distress."
"Father, I don''t want any guards or any help. Please let them go. I''ll be safe here from anything or
anyone bad."
J nced at the woods in the near distance and thought that it would not be dangerous since the
J sighed, and thought to herself, ''s! I''m an adult now, but father still takes care of me as if I were
a little child.''
Samuel looked again at the group of interns in the near distance and found that they were constantly
staring at him and his daughter. Samuel thought for a little while and still felt worried about J. "Um.
I should be going now, " he said.
He drove away alone, leaving the guards with Jane.
After she found her tent, J briefly arranged her stuff and thenid in it to rest for a while.
As she learned that the training wouldst for a full week, J had taken the precaution of being
totally prepared and brought plenty of stuff along with her.
In the early evening, thepany gave each employee a set of camouge clothing.
They had to wear it when they were gathered together the next day.
While J was wearily checking the information on her phone, she heard a conversation of her two
colleagues in the next tent: "I''ve heard that our instructors are special soldiers brought from the city
headquarter. They must be very handsome, for sure!"
"Yeah. I also learned from my manager that there would also be a military officer present!"
"Military officer? But military trainings are always organized and conducted by somemon squad
leaders or smallpanymanders, right?"
"Who knows? Whatever; just as long as he''s handsome!"
"Ha-ha! You''re dreaming too much. Since he is a military officer, he must be a middle-aged man with a
certain qualification and experience earned over the years. And speaking of years, I''m guessing he
may be forty or maybe more, fifty!"
"Yeah, you''re right."
While she was listening to their conversation, J thought over what she had just heard a moments
ago and believed that this aspect didn''t really matter at all.
Whether he was just an instructor, or a military officer, she still didn''t know him.
The next morning, just a little after dawn, a series of loud whistles woke J out of her deep slumber.
She looked at the time with her eyes still half-closed, only to find that it was just five o''clock in the
morning.
She was perplexed, since she had never risen up out of bed so early!
A man shouted outside their tents in a resonant voice: "I will give all of you half an hour to prepare
yourselves and gather together on time at 5:30. If you are a minutete, you will have to run one
kilometer as punishment!"
After he finished talking, all the people in the tents started to loudly get up and panic.
J sat up, half-asleep. She rubbed her disheveled long hair and began to regret her choice, ''Why
did Ie here to torture myself? I''m so crazy. Why didn''t I stay home and sleep in?''
At 5:10, J had already put on the camouge clothing and staggered out of the tent.
While she saw that the water supply area was packed full with her colleagues, also dressed in
camouge clothing, she decided to go back and get someter!
J felt that she was still drowsy, even though she woke up.
After getting back to her tent, she somehow fell asleep again.
J suddenly woke, startled by the harsh sound of the whistle, and then climbed out of her tent only
to find that the others had already gathered together on the open space in the near distance.
''Oh my god. I''m so screwed!'' She quickly fastened her belt, put on her camouge shoes, and then ran
out of the tent towards the gathered team.
While she saw that all members had started to count off, she had to stand at the end of the line.
"1, 2... 21." J was so scared that she waste, but in the end seeded in calling out her
corresponding number.
However, she still looked different from the others. J was surprised to find that she forgot to wear
her uniform''s camouge cap...
A military officer, who stood in front of the training members, looked at them and gravely spoke, "Good
morning everyone. My name is Brian Han and we will spend the next seven days together and on the
tough training course ahead..."
It didn''t matter what he said next; J had stopped listening to him altogether.
She couldn''t believe that the world was so small that she could meet Brian here!
She stared at the instructors, who were standing in the front row, and found that it was indeed Brian
who had taken the lead! Brian nced at J and then quickly looked away, as if they wereplete
strangers.
Next, it was time for the instructors and the interns to introduce themselves to one another. Brian stood
aside and saw the seven instructors and the interns make their self-introductions.
When it was J''s turn to introduce herself, everyone looked at her.
J felt depressed, and believed that it would not be a good idea for her if the new colleagues got to
know her.
"Hi, everybody. My name is J Shao and I''m 22 years old. Nice to meet you all!"
In fact, she was just unwilling to meet someone who disliked her.
This time Brian dared to look another time at J, who now attracted everyone''s attention and
seemed to be their only focus.
