My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 592 - 200 Indifference
Du Xixi is not a leader at Blue Star University, nor does she have any private contact with the Minister of the Military, so she is unaware of what exactly is written in the apology letter from the Director of the Military Department.
It was only later, when she learned that the director of the Military Department had voluntarily resigned, that Du Xixi heard some gossip. It seems the Minister of the Military reprimanded him harshly, leaving the elder man heartbroken and enlightened, unwilling to "harm" the Military Department any longer.
However, the voluntary resignation of the former director did not keep the Military Department from its crisis; those dozens of promising military prospects had been recruited by the Minister of the Military for concentrated training within the department.
An ignored Military Department by the Minister of the Military and a military headquarters that all Blue Star Empire’s elite dream of joining—these students are not foolish; naturally, they choose the latter.
If these promising prospects had stayed, with dedicated training, it might have been possible to save the Military Department, but none of them wanted to stay. Those remaining students were also distressed by the old professor’s departure.
For a time, the most chaotic place within Blue Star University was the Military Department, marking the first stumble in the departmental establishment since the university’s founding.
An emergency meeting was convened, attended only by the university leaders and all professors of the Military Department; Du Xixi, a professor from the Food Department, naturally had no involvement with them and continued as usual during this period.
When the Military Department was urgently closed by Blue Star University and numerous students and professors were dispersed by the university, Du Xixi merely expressed a few sentiments, not dwelling much on the matter. Yet, although Du Xixi did not care much, this issue involving the entire Blue Star University would inevitably affect her in the Food Department.
The incident that caused Du Xixi to disregard her image and lose her temper publicly occurred that afternoon. Du Xixi had just finished her class and, as usual, took a hovercar to leave Blue Star University. Arriving at the gate, she saw a crowd carrying cameras and microphones, apparently reporters informed from somewhere.
The security guards and gatekeepers of Blue Star University tried their best to hold everyone back, but they could not require the journalists to leave after a certain distance, as they were merely lingering there.
The upheaval occurred right as Du Xixi’s hovercar left the gate; everyone seemed to have planned it, suddenly rushing forward. The guards and gatekeepers failed to stop them, and even though several mechanical soldiers surrounded the hovercar, those shameless media reporters still crowded in.
Mechanical Soldiers are not meant to harm civilians lightly, so they simply surrounded everyone, preventing them from approaching Du Xixi’s hovercar. Still, a few daring individuals extended their cameras and microphones to the car window, displeasing both the soldiers and Du Xixi.
Du Xixi could guess why these people showed up, likely because of the Military Department’s urgent closure. The Star Network had been in an uproar these past few days, with many speculating that the once prestigious Blue Star University was about to fall. Some were gloating, while others were anxious... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
The security guards and gatekeepers could not get in to protect Du Xixi, Nor could the Mechanical Soldiers take action without her orders, leading to chaos outside and silence within the car.
Du Xixi maintained a cold face, knowing that those outside could not see her, but she could clearly see their shameless faces craving attention.
Craving attention, huh? Fine...
Du Xixi lightly smiled, unusually not displaying a gentle and distant smile when appearing outside. She collected her expression, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of coldness as her slender fingers pressed the window down button, causing the window to slowly lower.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.
Du Xixi already possessed highly aggressive features, softened in the past by her gentle demeanor. Yet, with an indifferent expression, her imposing presence emerged fully, intimidating others from being as arrogant as before: "Do you have something to say? It better be something that won’t make me angry."
Cold, colder to an extreme; this was a Du Xixi that everyone, including the Mechanical Soldiers, had never seen, yet the soldiers adapted well, while others were caught off guard. Several microphones and cameras, close to reaching Du Xixi’s face, were suddenly withdrawn.
