Chapter 572: Damn it, what's your status?

~7 min read 1,274 words

Hai!

Hejing Qing'erlang responded, got out of the car, and opened the rear door.

Shenqi Chuangjian wiped off his smile, got out of the car full of arrogance, walked to the front of the welcoming line at the agency gate, stopped, and scanned the crowd.

Hejing Qing'erlang stepped forward, about to speak, but Shenqi Chuangjian stopped him.

The officers all looked toward Shenqi Chuangjian.

"Stop these boring tricks. Compared to the time and effort you spend, doing this hollow welcome ceremony, you'd better think about how to do intelligence work in Jinmen well." Shenqi Chuangjian did not hide the contempt in his eyes.

"If I remember correctly, your investigation of the Military Statistics Bureau's Jinmen station has made no progress."

"Did the former agency director, Chi Mu Chengping, also take responsibility and resign?"

Upon hearing that, the officers also lowered their heads to give face.

Damn it.

This bastard, just arrived and wants to show his authority?

Chen Yongren had already focused his scrutiny on it; this bastard did it on purpose.

If there were no welcome ceremony, it would attack on the grounds of disrespecting superiors and pretending to work hard despite lack of results.

Chen Yongren began to think about how to deal with this bastard.

Scanning the information before him, it was roughly the same as what was given from Jingdu.

The Yuan Clan and the Shenqi Clan could be said to be sworn enemies.

Shenqi Chuangjian shifted his gaze to Chen Yongren, walked over to him, and smiled, saying, "Yuan Chief?"

"Hai." Chen Yongren sat up straight.

"I've heard of you, the most beloved son of the Yuan Clan, a prominent figure in Jinmen—don't let me down." Shenqi Chuangjian said meaningfully.

"Speaking of which, I also have some connections with your family."

"Really? Major His Excellency?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance: "That's news to me; my father never mentioned the Shenqi Clan to me."

Hearing the barb in Chen Yongren's words, Shenqi Chuangjian's mouth twitched twice.

He didn't believe that after he arrived, the Yuan Chief's family would not tell him about the feud between the Yuan Clan and the Shenqi Clan.

"Gather in the conference room for a meeting; I have an important announcement to make." Shenqi Chuangjian walked into the Special Agency with a dark face.

Chen Yongren also put away his smile, waved his hand: "Come on, let's go in and hold the meeting."

In the conference room.

Japanese officers filled the right side of the long table.

The Special Agency is huge; it's impossible that everyone belongs to Chi Mu Chengping's lineage.

Aside from Chi Mu Chengping's direct line, the remaining officers simply take a neutral stance, regardless of whether they are direct or collateral branches; they obey whoever is the current agency director.

In other words, if Chen Yongren became the director of the Special Agency, they would likewise obey him.

Looking at the empty seats opposite, they glanced at each other, and although they said nothing, they communicated through their eyes.

This Yuan Chief's Young Master actually dared not to give face to the new agency director.

The rumor was indeed true; the two families are not on good terms.

From the first day, it's been this tense; there will be good days to watch ahead.

Shenqi Chuangjian's old face on the chief seat looked like constipation.

Despite saying he wanted to hold a meeting, the left side of the long table remained empty—this is clearly a provocation.

"Major His Excellency, these guys are going too far, not showing you any respect at all." Hejing Qing'erlang, somewhat angry, leaned in to whisper in Shenqi Chuangjian's ear.

"No need to mind them; it's just child's play!" Shenqi Chuangjian said coldly.

Do they really think this childish trick of refusing to attend the meeting will make me angry?

It's simply too childish!

I'll keep you around to play with slowly.

As soon as Shenqi Chuangjian finished speaking, he saw the conference room door pushed open.

Chen Yongren appeared at the door with a group of officers.

"Sorry, Major His Excellency, we're late." Chen Yongren said apologetically, but his face showed no remorse.

If you're capable, go ahead and impeach everyone here; you just arrived and want a complete overhaul—see if the Army Ministry will deal with you or not.

You have the rank of Major, but behind the young master are still a bunch of nobles.

Believe it or not, I'll have my father-in-law, Youqichuangong Shanren, write a letter to impeach you right away.

"Come in, let's start the meeting!" Shenqi Chuangjian took a deep breath.

Hejing Qing'erlang was about to say something, but seeing Shenqi Chuangjian not making a fuss, he simply chose to stay silent; however, his eyes toward Chen Yongren blazed with fire.

It's obvious that this guy is the one who started the lateness.

Upon hearing about the meeting, the Japanese officers on the right all stood up to show respect.

But Chen Yongren continued to sit with his legs crossed, expressionless, with no intention of standing up.

The officers sitting beside him, who had intended to stand, upon seeing this, also sat back down.

Both sides are damn blood-feuds deep; Chen Yongren doesn't have the mood for that, instead dedicating himself to performing a superficial harmony act.

"Damn it, they all stood up—why A Ren't you standing?" Hejing Qing'erlang walked over to Chen Yongren.

Because this Japanese guy isn't very tall—just a head taller than the seated Chen Yongren—it looks quite ridiculous.

"Damn it!"

Chen Yongren slapped him hard and shouted angrily: "What is your status? A mere second lieutenant, yet you dare to be so rude to a noble with a title!"

Hejing Qing'erlang was stunned by that slap.

It suddenly realized that, seeing this handsome young man, his identity was not simple.

The heir of the Genji clan, having solved the envoy assassination case, enjoys fame in Jingdu; it is said that even Emperor Tianhuang has taken notice of this young man.

Hejing Qing'erlang, realizing he misspoke, hastily kowtowed: "Private matter."

In Riben, the hierarchy of seniority has almost reached a perverse level.

If you have a senior of high rank in the military, even if your superior's rank is lower than yours, you can still deny them face and act arbitrarily within the military.

Moreover, this person before you is a powerful noble; such nobles will not allow their authority to be challenged in any way.

Shenqi Chuangjian's face darkened.

But at this moment Shenqi Chuangjian could not say anything; even if he reported this to the Army Ministry, they would not utter a single wrong word about the Yuan Chief.

Perhaps they would even blame themselves for failing to get along with their subordinates, daring to show disrespect to a noble.

"I can't hear." Chen Yongren said coldly.

"Private matter!" Hejing Qing'erlang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, straightened up, and kowtowed again.

In the conference room, no one dared to interject.

This is not how to deal with Hejing Qing'erlang.

Hejing Qing'erlang is Shenqi Chuangjian's man; the Yuan Chief is clearly slapping the face of this newly appointed Agency Director.

"Still can't hear." Chen Yongren remained expressionless.

Hejing Qing'erlang, overcome with emotion, his cheeks flushed red, his body slightly trembling, he clenched his teeth, straightened up and kowtowed, his waist bending to a 90-degree angle, and shouted: "Private matter, Chief Commander Young Master, it was my foolishness that offended you; please forgive my rashness!"

Chen Yongren said nothing.

【77> Hejing Qing'erlang also kept his waist bent, waiting for Chen Yongren to relent.

Hejing Qing'erlang also kept bending his waist, waiting for Chen Yongren to open his mouth.
