Chapter 491: Chapter 491 – Feeling Bad_1 Chapter 491: Chapter 491 – Feeling Bad_1 The conference room was bustling with excitent, yet it was Du Tianning who appeared the most relaxed. He waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, “It’s fine! Let’s wait a little longer! n don’t usually take long to change anyway.” After all, their rescue team and Transocean Group were only partners, they truly didn’t have any authority over Huo Beijiang.
It was already a feat to have dragged him away from his wife! Lately, everyone had been laughing about how The Great Devil was afraid of his wife! Quite a few people speculated behind closed doors that the only person who could ta The Great Devil, most probably, was the fiercest of tigers among won.
Only Jiang Linzhang, after a brief glimpse, found his brows furrowing.
When Beijiang left the hospital, he was enraged. But what was that hint of gloominess Jiang Linzhang just noticed?
“Linzhang, Linzhang!” Du Tianning whispered, “Have you t Beijiang’s wife? Is she a fierce tiger?”
Jiang Linzhang barely held back a laugh, he decided to cough a few tis to cover it up, “Cough, cough… Director Du, how can you say such a thing?”
“Everyone is saying it!”
The others nodded in agreent.
Jiang Linzhang recalled the young maiden in his mind. Even when she was unconscious, she was still breathtakingly beautiful. He responded with four words.
“Nationally Recognized Beauty.”
“Tsk…”
“Minister Jiang, you’re being dishonest here.”
“Minister Jiang, even though Huo Beijiang has lots of flaws, you can’t mock him like this!”
“And you just had to do it with such finesse.”
“Exactly! You two are brothers.”
Jiang Linzhang was confused. What had he done? How had he wronged his brother? And weren’t these people just fuming at Huo Beijiang monts ago?
Why had they suddenly started defending him now?
Just as Huo Beijiang had promised, he was back in less than three minutes, already dressed in his crisply ironed uniform.
Hu Shilong beca even angrier.
They were all wearing official uniforms, so why did his outfit appear better?
“Reporting!”
“Co in!”
With a solemn face and a straight posture, Huo Beijiang made an entrance. His uniform fit perfectly as if it was tailor-made, accentuating his tall and impeccable fra.
Besides, once donning the immaculate uniform, his eyes sparkled. Shrouding the previously reckless temperant, he now appeared collected, solemn, and restrained.
“Take a seat!” Du Tianning pointed at an empty chair.
“Thank you, Director Du.”
Once he was seated, the official eting began.
The main topic of the day was the recently concluded four-nation joint rescue mission, an event previously of little relevance to them.
Now that the mission was over, it was officially deed a success.
But who could have foreseen that Huo Beijiang, who rely participated in a rescue mission, managed to sohow reel in a big fish. The four-nation investigation team was more than just an ordinary research project.
In the middle of the eting, Du Tianning changed the subject, “Since you discovered this issue, Beijiang, I’ve already discussed it with the higher-ups—it’s on you now.”
The people in the room looked bewildered. No wonder Director Du insisted on starting the eting only when Huo Beijiang had arrived.
He was the main focus all along.
“Director Du, since Captain Huo is from the Transocean Group, would it not be inappropriate?” soone asked, sounding worried.
Du Tianning: “I will personally vouch for this.”
People: “…”
Director Du, it’s precisely because you’re vouching for it that they are worried!
“Director Du, you are so busy. What about assigning soone else?”
“Yes! We heard your gout has been acting up lately. You shouldn’t overexert yourself!”
“If it really cos down to it, Tu Cheng is also an option!” At least Tu Cheng would manage Beijiang. If Beijiang were paired with Director Du, even a light breeze would send waves crashing.
Du Tianning slapped the table, “Everyone, shut up!”
The room imdiately went silent.
“Anyone who ntions Tu Cheng again should get the hell out,” he snapped.
Du Tianning was livid. He turned to Huo Beijiang who had been silent the entire ti, “Why are you so quiet today?” Even though Beijiang was usually a man of few words, today he hadn’t made a single remark since he entered the room, which was contrary to his usual sharp-tongued nature.
If it was a normal eting, he would have already silenced everyone with just a few words.
“They’re calling you!” Jiang Linzhang nudged him with his elbow.
“Yes?” Huo Beijiang had clearly not been paying attention, lost in his thoughts.
“I’m asking you sothing.”
“What would you like to ask ?”
Du Tianning was left speechless for a mont, “Are you confident in handling the four-nation incident? It has a wide scope and involves collaboration with multiple departnts.”
“No problem!”
“Good! I knew it, no one else could handle this except for you.” Du Tianning was in a good mood. He cast a glance at the crowd below and noticed their faces, yearning to punch Beijiang but helpless in their defeat. This lightened his mood further.
*****
When the eting concluded, everyone started leaving, but Huo Beijiang was asked to stay behind..
“You… are you really getting married?” Du Tianning had been away recently and had only heard that Huo Beijiang had submitted a marriage application, which was being blocked by soone.
“Yes!”
“Why are you so quiet today?”
With a stone-faced expression, he replied, “I’m not in a good mood!”
“What?” Du Tianning almost thought he misheard, “You’re in a bad mood? You have the nerve to talk about your mood?” Seeing all the ss he caused and expecting him to clean up, the one who should be in a terrible mood was him.
Huo Beijiang briefly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the earlier coldness had completely disappeared. The final diagnosis from the hospital was still not out, he could not afford to lose his composure now.
Nan Fei would be okay.
“Director, I want to ask for soone.”
“You tell, go ahead.”
“Li Chi!”
“Him? I heard he’s a troublemaker.”
“Just answer whether you’ll give him to or not.”
“Fine! I’ll give him to you, okay?” Du Tianning reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of paper, tossing it at Huo Beijiang. “A gift for you, take a look.”
