"Cough cough," Ye Tian coughed twice, seemingly to embolden himself, "Group Leader Zhang, the question I want to ask is...uh, could you please co a bit closer."
Zhang Liang leaned his head closer, and Ye Tian whispered in his ear, "Are you two childhood sweethearts?"
This is where Ye Tian truly has no sha, deliberately whispering but making sure the voice was loud enough for Qin Chuan standing beside to hear; how shaless is that?
Since Zhang Liang was present, Qin Chuan couldn’t lash out, he could only stare with wide eyes, intensely staring, forcefully staring, wishing he could just stare this shaless guy to death.
Ye Tian’s lips curved into a strange smile, and he even took a special glance at Qin Chuan beside him. Seeing Qin Chuan glaring, that smile on his lips grew even brighter; he was quite pleased with this effect.
Zhang Liang chuckled and shook his head lightly, "No."
Ye Tian was at a loss, and the expression on Qin Chuan’s face remained unchanged, as dark as dripping ink.
"Mr. Ye, you really don’t have to test this way. I’ve told you before, whether to stay or leave, the decision is in your hands. Although the higher-ups intended for you to join the Sixth Group, I can assure you, even if you don’t, they won’t trouble you."
Is that it?
Seeing Zhang Liang stand up, Ye Tian stopped him, "Group Leader Zhang, you ntioned before that I could join the Sixth Group to adapt for so ti, and if I can’t adapt, I can opt-out anyti. Do you still stand by what you said?"
Zhang Liang turned, "Of course. Has Mr. Ye changed his mind?"
"Just leaving like this, I feel like I owe you sothing. Just for the sake of my own conscience, I can first adapt in the Sixth Group for a while, but I must clarify that if there are any tasks involving desperate risking or self-sacrifice, I will definitely step down and let my colleagues take over."
"No problem."
Zhang Liang’s lips curled into a slight smile. The smile seed unremarkable, but it made Ye Tian feel uncomfortable. Am I doing sothing wrong?
Suddenly thinking of Xu He who was still sitting outside, visualizing his pose ditating with crossed legs, Ye Tian suddenly realized he had been played. That whole childhood sweetheart news was just sothing Xu He made up to fool him, probably exploiting his own curiosity.
This fatted pig is indeed business material, so easily seeing through , how am I supposed to live?
Hang on, who says it was Xu He who thought this up, maybe it was that sneaky Zhang Liang who ca up with it to deal with .
Who said this guy was poker-faced, who said this kid was just an honest guy, this kid is bad to the bone.
Ye Tian leaned on the sofa, carefully thinking through the causes and potential flaws, but in the end, he had to admit, Zhang Liang’s words and actions were seamless, perfectly described as impeccable. They neither gave a feeling of unreasonable domination nor any hint of condescension. Zhang Liang’s way of dealing with people is nothing short of brilliant, even a notch above that Fatty Xu outside.
True masters always hide their skills; not all that is gold must glitter.
While Ye Tian was secretly appreciating Zhang Liang’s philosophy of life, Xu He, Fatty Xu, pushed the door open and ca in, "Captain Ye, I have so matters to discuss with you."
Hey, now I’ve beco the captain.
Ye Tian felt no surprise about this new role, he even felt a bit uneasy, as he initially just wanted to co here for observation and a bit of tourism, never intending to take up any duties.
Lazy people stay lazy everywhere, even if it’s the formidable Sixth Group.
"Haha, Mr. Ye might still be unaccustod to this title, right?"
"Yeah, very unaccustod, and I’d rather believe, Fatty Brother, that it was a slip of the tongue."
Xu He poured himself a cup of water and said, "You’ll have to get used to it. The docunt from above has been approved, assigning you as the captain of the Third Squad, you are a captain now and need to start acting like one."
"Acting like one? What kind of persona? Like you, with a big belly, running a restaurant, selling tofu pudding and pancake fruit?"
Xu He, laughing, patted Ye Tian’s shoulder who couldn’t stand his greasy palm and dodged away. Xu He didn’t mind, he picked an orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled it, handed half to him and ate the other half.
"Actually, don’t feel too much reluctance or pressure. It’s just a small team captain, not many people under you. Look at ; I only have about ten people, and five of them are cross-assigned with the logistics team. When they need them, I can’t use them, and when I use them, I have to take care of their side too."
Ye Tian leaned forward, "So how many people do I have?"
Xu He stuffed an orange segnt into his mouth and chuckled, "Hehe, there are two squads in the Sixth Group, and this one under you is a newly added one, so, hehe."
Ye Tian slapped his thigh, leaned back on the sofa, and bounced back from the soft back, "Just a re figurehead."
But after thinking it over, Ye Tian started to laugh. Being free and easy, not bad at all, no need to take on stupid risks, no need to use lives to plug the gaps, pretty good.
