Chapter 1145: This Dog’s Temper
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As soon as he entered, Lin Yi realized that many people present were looking at him.
Appraisal?
Admiration?
Anticipation?
Contempt?
All kinds of gazes gathered on Lin Yi.
This feeling was like a star appearing on stage. The invisible gazes were like invisible pressure, weighing down on Lin Yi like a mountain.
Lin Yi smiled faintly with a hint of sarcasm.
He seemed to be saying, “Don’t take advantage of your seniority and be honest.”
The two of them returned to the seats reserved for Qiu Yuluo and waited for the meeting to officially begin.
At ten o’clock in the morning, Liu Hong and Cao Jiadu walked in alongside five people.
“The one walking at the front of the podium is the top leader of the Central Guards Brigade, Old Master Lu.” Ning Che introduced.
“I’ve already guessed as much.” Lin Yi said.
“I can tell from the way he walks that he is somebody important.”
Initially, Lin Yi believed that Lu Beichen headed the Central Guards Brigade due to his outstanding merits and accomplishments, which qualified him to lead such a special team.
However, he didn’t expect Lu Beichcn to possess such exceptional capabilities.
He might not know about anything else, but at the very least, Lu Beichen should be at the B-class or higher in terms of skills and abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn’t exude such a powerful aura.
This Central Guards Brigade was really a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
When they arrived at the venue, the leader of the Central Guards Brigade sat down. Liu Hong held the microphone and said.
“Today’s meeting is mainly to summarize our past work and our future prospects and plans. We invite Elder Lu to speak.”
Lu Beichen smiled, “We are all colleagues, so let’s skip the formalities and get to the main point.”
“Well, you should say a few words too. We have some newcomers here today.”
“Alright, I’ll say a few words, but let’s keep it within five minutes. Don’t worry; I won’t be like some others who talk for hours on end.”
“Haha…”
He was also an honest person. As soon as it was his turn to speak, he made everyone laugh.
Lin Yi also felt that this was good. They were all men, so there was no need to be so superficial. If they had the time, it would be better to do serious work.
Holding the microphone, he cleared his throat and said,
“In recent years, the Central Defence Brigade has been in a troubled period. Although they have made great contributions to our national defense, we still have many shortcomings. I am responsible for this, and I will reflect on it more. I hope that everyone can learn from this shame and work hard…”
He said a lot, but he kept his word. Seeing that his speech was approaching five minutes, he quickly ended it.
Moreover, he only spoke some general platitudes. It could be considered as a reminder to everyone present about their mission.
The Central Guards Brigade still had a long way to go and they could not relax.
After he finished speaking, Liu Hong took the microphone.
“Next, the second part of the meeting.” Liu Hong cleared his throat, “The team leader of Team 1 of the Central Guards Brigade, Comrade Wang Mian, is preparing to resign from the Central Guards Brigade for personal reasons. Team 2 and Team 3’s deputy team leader, Lin Yi, will be in charge of Team l’s future missions. Now, I’d like to invite the two of you to do the handover.”
Wang Mian tidied up his clothes and walked to the podium.
At the same time, the gazes of the others also landed on him.
In the past, everyone had regarded Wang Mian as the future hope of the Central Guards Brigade. No one had thought that just three years later, he would actually resign from his position as the team leader of the Central Guards Brigade. The world was unpredictable, and no one knew what would happen in the future.
At this moment, Lin Yi got up off his seat.
Although he was not as burly as Wang Mian, he moved casually and freely.
He did not really worry about Wang Mian.
Some of the people present already knew what had happened between the two of them.
Wang Mian’s resignation had a lot to do with Lin Yi, or rather, it was directly related.
However, Lin Yi did not use dirty tricks to do this.
In this power struggle, the Wang family had suffered a disadvantage.
Victory was justice, and his departure was only natural.
Wang Mian took the microphone from Liu Hong and said,
“From today onwards, I will officially step down as the team leader of Team 1 of the Central Guards Brigade. I hope that the Central Guards Brigade will continue to improve in the future.”
With that, Wang Mian picked up the badge representing the team leader on the table and handed it to Lin Yi.
“The Central Guards Brigade is a place where strength speaks for itself. I hope you can continue to uphold Team l’s glory and not let their reputation be tarnished.”
Lin Yi played with the badge with one hand and said, “I believe that whoever takes over Team 1, with or without you, the Central Guards Brigade will surely continue to improve. You don’t need to worry about that.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Yi and Wang Mian.
They could already sense the tension between the two of them.
“Hmph, good luck then.”
Wang Mian extended his hand, ready to shake Lin Yi’s.
“Here they come!”
Wu Hanquan smiled and said, “Team Leader wants to take him down a notch. Who do you think is stronger?”
“Is there a need to ask? I know the team leader’s ability. He can break a person’s ribs with a casual punch. He’s well-known throughout the entire Central Guards Brigade for his strength. How can Lin Yi be his match?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. This is going to be a good show.” Wu Hanquan chuckled.
“After the position was handed over, the new team leader was dealt with by the old team leader. What an exciting story.”
Everyone present was also paying attention to the last ceremony of the handover between the two.
But to everyone’s disappointment, Lin Yi didn’t do anything. He took the badge that symbolized the team leader and returned to his seat.
He completely ignored Wang Mian.
As Lin Yi returned to his seat, Wang Mian’s hand was still frozen in midair. The atmosphere was very awkward.
Wang Mian’s expression was extremely ugly. The veins on his head were bulging. If not for the fact that this was a special occasion, his pride would have already made him explode.
Even so, he simply smiled and did not say a word.
This dog’s temper was even wilder than Lin Jingzhan’s back then. Interesting.
“Wang Mian, this process is over. You can go back first,” Liu Hong said, giving Wang Mian a way out.
Wang Mian did not say anything and returned to his seat.
Wu Hanquan and Cui Changzhe did not speak, but they quietly raised their hands.
“What’s the matter?” Liu Hong asked.
“Boss Liu, we request to withdraw from the Central Defence Brigade.”
“Withdraw?”
Liu Hong frowned. “Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Wu Hanquan said.
“We’ve been following Team Leader Wang for the past few years. Now that he’s gone, we’re prepared to leave too.”
“If you want to leave too, just send a report to me later.”
Ning Che, who was sitting not far away, glanced at Lin Yi. “You’ve just taken the position, and they’re already doing this. These people are trying to take you down a notch.”
“They’re just trash. It’s fine if they leave. There’s nothing to regret since this just ensures they won’t hold me back..”
