Wealthy Beauty in the 60s

Everyone was pushing through with a spirit of perseverance, but it didn’t take even a month before some were suffering from acclimatization issues, some caught colds and had fevers, and some even fainted from exhaustion.

Xia Jing was doing okay, thanks to Xia Xiao’s spring water which nourished her body, so even though it was her first time doing such labor, Xia Jing managed to hold on, but many others were worn out.

Gao Guoqiang had a fairly good idea of these situations, and after a month of non-stop work, he also wanted to set an example for the young educated youth to follow, to get them to calm down a bit.

At the Guangming Production Team, more than twenty educated youth arrived, which couldn’t be immediately accommodated at the Youth Point, and since the housing wasn’t ready so quickly, they were all arranged to stay in the homes of the team members.

And while some of the new educated youth settled in the homes of the team members, others started causing trouble, always bringing up doctrines and feeling uncomfortable with the team members’ homes, everyone ended up seeking out Gao Guoqiang and Secretary Li.

Mr. Yu, the commander of the Dragon Training Corps, was greatly surprised. This time, he wasn’t just focused on training He Xuebing, but He Xuebing turned out to be the most outstanding among the key trainees, repeatedly achieving results that delighted Mr. Yu.

Everyone had thought that He Xuebing would come first in this assessment competition, but Gao Jiaxing emerged as a dark horse that no one expected.

It can be said that, among the various units, no one had high hopes for the group led by Liu Yuanchao, not to mention these were just recruits who had enlisted two years ago, and Liu Yuanchao’s new recruit company couldn’t compare to their larger contingents with abundant resources.

If it were not for the higher-ups’ decision to include Liu Yuanchao’s team in the competition, they wouldn’t have known where this team came from. Originally not considered a threat, who would have thought that in the end, the first place would be taken by Liu Yuanchao’s team.

Liu Yuanchao was extremely surprised by Gao Jiaxing’s performance; he hadn’t expected Gao Jiaxing to be so brave, so invincible.

Though Liu Yuanchao was full of confidence, deep down he didn’t really hold much hope; they came for sparring practice, and getting a good ranking would be nice, but not getting one wouldn’t be too disappointing.

But unexpectedly, Gao Jiaxing and the team’s performance was so outstanding, they performed exceedingly well, and Liu Yuanchao was so happy he could almost burst.

By this time, quite a few commanders and company commanders had approached Liu Yuanchao for a chat. Everyone has a desire for talent, and being surprised by such an exceptional team trained by Liu Yuanchao, they also exchanged experiences with each other.

"Good lad, not bad, I didn’t expect you to improve so much," He Xuexiang came over with He Xuebing, patted Gao Jiaxing on the shoulder, and shook his hand.

The leaders went off to discuss training methods, and Gao Jiaxing and his peers were also eagerly exchanging information. After chatting, He Xuexiang said, "You and Bingzi should have a good talk."

He Xuebing extended his hand to Gao Jiaxing and said, "I didn’t expect to work so hard and still lose to you."

Gao Jiaxing slapped hands with He Xuebing and replied, "You’re strong. Normally, I might really have lost to you, but this time it meant something different to me, I couldn’t lose to anyone—especially not you."

"Oh, why is that?" He Xuebing asked.

"Today is the happiest day for me," Gao Jiaxing told He Xuebing. "If I get first in the assessment, I’m going to propose to Xiaoxiao."

He Xuebing’s face stiffened, then he forced a smile and said, "Are you trying to show off to me?"

Gao Jiaxing raised an eyebrow and said, "You noticed."

At this point, Gao Jiaxing added, "Bingzi, I’m really grateful to you in my heart."

He Xuebing couldn’t help but swing a punch at him, finding Gao Touxing intolerable for poking at his sore spot.

Just then, they started scuffling again when suddenly two female voices cried out in alarm, Gao Jiaxing and He Xuebing paused and looked around to see two female soldiers standing there.

One of them directly sent a smile towards He Xuebing, "Mr. He."

The other also called out, "Mr. He."

He Xuebing nodded and said to the first woman who spoke, "Is there something you need, Mr. Yu?"

"Nothing much, we just happened to be passing by and didn’t mean to disturb you," Yu Zhen blushed as she spoke.

Gao Jiaxing raised an eyebrow—so this was the commander’s daughter—and then glanced specially at He Xuebing with a look that said, you lucky guy.

He Xuebing was about to explode with irritation. Not only had he been beaten by Gao Jiaxing, which he could accept since he had been defeated before, but he was also provoked by Gao Jiaxing. And now, with Yu Zhen appearing in front of him like this, He Xuebing was not pleased.

"Mr. He, who is this?" asked the other female colleague.

"And you are?" He Xuebing couldn’t recognize the female soldier in front of him.

"This is my cousin, Lin Xiang, my aunt’s daughter, a medical college graduate who just transferred to our unit," Yu Zhen introduced to He Xuebing.

Who cares who your cousin is, both He Xuebing and Gao Jiaxing were speechless.

"I’ll be off now, see you when I’m free." Gao Jiaxing said and with a long stride, he walked away.

He Xuebing gritted his teeth; this unsporting brother just ran off and left him.

Seeing Gao Jiaxing leave, Lin Xiang quietly tugged at Yu Zhen’s sleeve. Yu Zhen then asked, "Mr. He, who was that, and from which unit?"

"I don’t know him. I have something to do, I need to go," He Xuebing quickly made his escape.

"Yu Zhen, what’s going on with you and He Xuebing? Didn’t you say he was your boyfriend? Why is he ignoring you?" Lin Xiang asked.

Yu Zhen replied, "That’s just how he is. My dad has now agreed, his family too, soon I will be able to marry him."

"That Gao Jiaxing just now, he’s quite amazing, first in the assessment, and He Xuebing lost to him. They seem very familiar with each other. Could you inquire about him for me?" Lin Xiang said.

"Cousin, are you interested in Gao Jiaxing?"

"Hmm, he seems good, help me find out some more," Lin Xiang requested.

"Alright, I’ll ask around for you." Though He Xuebing claimed not to know, neither Yu Zhen nor Lin Xiang believed that. But since they couldn’t get any answers from He Xuebing, they could try He Xuexiang instead, so Yu Zhen readily agreed.

Gao Jiaxing was unaware that people were inquiring about him, but even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared.
