Since they talked about a common topic, the two of them started laughing. It was a standard smile with no blind spots and meticulousness, beautiful and cold.
"I heard that Senior Sister Ling was a famous and talented girl in the college back then. I wonder what her grades were back then?"
"...The final overall score was fifth."
Lin Xi chuckled, "Fifth, so awesome! It must be very difficult, right?"
Ling Fei couldn't help but recall her youthful days and sighed: "Yes, there were a group of very powerful guys back then. I was lucky enough to get fifth place."
She looked back at Lin Xi and asked, "Where's junior sister? You still have one year to graduate, right?"
"Yes. I hope there won't be any accidents in the last year."
"Oh, basically the rankings in the last year will not change much from the previous three years. How is junior sister's current performance?"
"Well, I have been number one for the past three years."
Half of the smile on Ling Fei's face suddenly disappeared, and she even remembered Lin Xi's comment just now that 'it shouldn't be easy'. If she could still have a smile on her face, she was already very well-mannered.
She immediately looked normal and said with a smile: "Being number one for three consecutive years is rare in the history of the academy. From this point of view, junior sister really relies on strength, not luck."
Lin Xi said: "It seems that our definition of luck is a little different. The first year was indeed a bit dangerous. Fortunately, I got some good equipment and resources from home, and had a group of elders to guide me, so I came through without any danger.
In our opinion, family strength is also a kind of luck."
"I'm so envious of being born well."
"There is no need to be envious. Anyway, the family's support will always be there, even after graduation. It will still be there when we grow up. It is tradition that we will give back to the family."
"That's true, but there are not many people who can make good use of their family's help."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "That's wrong, Senior Sister. There are many people who use them well. It's just that Senior Sister, you stand too high and your vision is too high, so you think they are not very good. In fact, compared with ordinary people
, they are quite good. In other words, after all, people like you, senior sister, are rare and cannot regard individual cases as universal truths."
Ling Fei's smile was about to disappear. She was silent for a moment and said: "In this world, after all, the majority of people are from ordinary families."
"Sister, you are working so hard just to stand among them, right?"
"What do you mean, junior sister?"
Lin Xi said calmly: "Whether you can benefit the world does not depend on your original background. I, Taizu of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, also came from a prominent family, which does not prevent him from running and speaking out for the poor people in the world. On the contrary, many people of ordinary backgrounds only care about how they are.
Cutting off from the past, I am afraid that others will remind me of my background. Therefore, I believe that whether you are willing to benefit the poor is only related to the individual and cannot be determined by your background."
"Junior sister is right." The smile on Ling Fei's face has completely disappeared.
Lin Xi smiled faintly, with no intention of restraining or apologizing.
The two finally came to a door, and Ling Fei said: "The marshal is inside, go in by yourself."
"If you have the chance, listen to my senior sister tell you in detail the story of how you got fifth in the college." Lin Xi smiled sweetly.
No matter how good-tempered Ling Fei was, she couldn't bear it anymore. She snorted, turned around and left.
"Senior sister, stay." Lin Xi called her.
"What else is there?" Ling Fei didn't even want to pretend anymore.
"General Ling, my uncle is a man with a mind as big as the sea and a love for his talents as much as his life. Only he can get used to such a bad temper like yours. If one day he is transferred from the Ninth Fleet, your life may not be so comfortable.
At that time, I'm afraid you will have to bear whatever anger you have."
Ling Fei's face changed slightly and she said, "I rely on my own ability to make a living, I don't need to look at anyone else's face."
"That's right, that's really good."
Ling Fei calmed down and asked: "If you say so, will the position of the marshal change?"
"I don't know this. I only know that if your uncle is transferred to another place, the new commander may not treat you so well."
"Oh, that's it. I'm not worried. I really can't go on and just leave."
"Leave? How can the dynasty fleet come and leave whenever they want?"
"If junior sister has nothing else to say, then I will leave."
"Then I won't give it away." Lin Xi waved her hand.
After taking a few steps, Ling Fei remembered that Lin Xi was clearly the guest here.
At this moment, the door lit up with light patterns like water waves, falling on Lin Xi, and then the door slowly slid open to both sides, silently.
Inside the door is a long corridor, and at the end is a hall. There are dozens of virtual screens scattered everywhere, giving the entire base a panoramic view.
A man in a straight military uniform was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window dozens of meters high, looking at the dusk in the distance.
Lin Xi came behind him, and he slowly turned around, revealing a handsome and majestic face, and his eyebrows were vaguely similar to Lin Xi's.
He looked Lin Xi up and down, carefully and intently, then showed a smile and said, "Just come back."
"This time I was lucky enough to be able to come back."
A hint of coldness flashed across the man's face, and he said slowly: "This matter will definitely come to light. Not only the direct perpetrators and those behind the scenes will have to pay a price, but also the people who have anything to do with them, whether they are innocent or not, will have to pay the price."
We will not let anyone go. Otherwise, those people will think that our Lin family is weak and anyone can pinch it."
"They have crossed the red line. I think other families will support us." Lin Xi said.
The man nodded and said: "That's true. Even if any of them are involved, they must at least be on our side on the surface. Otherwise, once this precedent is set, no one's younger generation will have an easy time. Can you think of this?
A little, shows that you have matured."
"I'm not a child anymore!"
The man laughed and said, "You were arguing outside the door just now, and you said you weren't a child?"
"I don't like her!" Lin Xi said bluntly.
The man's smile suddenly looked a little awkward. He coughed twice and said, "You are overthinking. I don't have a good relationship with your aunt. I really have nothing to do with her."
Lin Xi refused to relax and said, "If it really doesn't matter, why are you coughing? Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold or a fever?"
The man shook his head helplessly, "Oh, you kid is really... Okay, let's not talk about this topic. Let's talk about your business first, this is more important."
"No, I think your matters are more important, uncle. I'm back now, and I have a lot of time to track down the culprit, so I can do it slowly. But you are the backbone of our Lin family. I didn't believe some of the rumors I heard before, but
After seeing her today, I can confirm that I hate her very much!"
"I know that you and your aunt have always had a good relationship, but don't look at people with emotions. I really appreciate Ling Fei's talent, so I promoted her in an unusual way."
