In other words, Yu Hua was one of her possible successors if she were to retire or disappear.
She was assigned here as a test, a test of resolve and her capability to work independently under a stressful environment.
"Did I guess it correctly? You didn't want to punish her, right? Come on, you can just be honest with me and admit it."
"Shut up."
As Houqin looked away to the side in frustration, Xiaoyun couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Someone is getting a little angry like a little kid."
"Hmph! You're the little kid for letting someone break the rules." Houqin immediately argued back as she looked over to Xiaoyun.
"Okay, I'm the little kid if that's what makes you happy... Ahem, Yu Hua is about to come out of the room."
Within seconds, the irritated look instantly disappeared from Houqin's face, with Xiaoyun's playful face returning to calm.
"Miss Houqin, Commander, I'm ready."
"Great. Lead the way."
