Xue Xingzhou returned to the squad. Before he could even say a word, everyone was already crowding around him.
"Xiao Xue, the captain said you're being transferred? Where to? Is it a promotion?"
"Yeah, why so sudden? Was this what the chief wanted to talk to you about yesterday?"
Xue Xingzhou nodded. "Yes, I'm being transferred. I'm leaving this afternoon. The department wants it kept confidential."
Everyone understood at once and stopped pestering him with questions.
"Congratulations, Xiao Xue. You're a real talent. I guess a place like this couldn't hold on to you for long. Getting a new post so soon."
A more perceptive one added, "No wonder the rules for this year's grand competition changed. So the higher-ups were scouting for talent. You really hit the jackpot, kid."
