Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 692 - Chapter 692 Chapter 691 Ridiculed by the Crowd _1

Chapter 692: Chapter 691: Ridiculed by the Crowd _1 Chapter 692: Chapter 691: Ridiculed by the Crowd _1 Xi Liqun remained silent, smiling.

“Invite Major General Huo in, and from now on there is no need for Major General Huo to report, just send him in directly.”

“Yes, sir.” The security staff member was taken aback. It seemed the rumors that the Major General was particularly fond of Major General Huo were true.

Seeing that the Major General did not punish Huo Beijiang but even allowed him to enter without reporting, Zhou Mengyang was nearly infuriated.

He Qin, the commander of the 12th Division, patted Zhou Mengyang’s shoulder, trying to console him: “Major General Huo is young, let him be.”

“Hmph! I’ve been accommodating enough,” he grumbled.

Just as he finished his sentence, Huo Beijiang entered the room from outside. Bypassing standard military courtesies, he directly addressed Zhou with an intimidating tone, “Who are you letting be?” The atmosphere in the office seemed almost frozen upon his entrance.

Even though Huo Beijiang had recently been transferred, he was already showing how strong and efficient he was. Under his charge, the historically lowest-ranked 36th Division had already ascended to first place within the Second Army in less than a month during their last military exercise.

Zhou Mengyang’s Seventh Division was effectively occupied by the 36th Division, even in Huo Beijiang’s absence.

In the last military region meeting, Huo Beijiang arrived late, but the Major General didn’t say a word. The situation was clear to anyone who was paying attention, except for the fool Zhou Mengyang.

Moving forward, the Second Army was still the Second Army, but the 36th Division was never going be the same.

They, as division commanders, would all be placed behind the 36th Division in the future.

“Hmph!” Zhou Mengyang snorted, wanting to say I’ll let you have this, but he reconsidered in fear of getting beaten up by Huo Beijiang in front of the military department and causing a scene. He simply remained silent instead.

“Reporting to the Major General, Huo Beijiang has arrived.” Huo Beijiang, in his neatly pressed uniform, looked serious and solemn when he didn’t smile. The stars on his shoulder shone brightly. His fierce and stern eyebrows would cause anyone, at first sight, to feel threatened.

Even the older veterans would feel a chill.

“Alright! Alright! Find a seat.”

“Thank you, Major General.”

Considering there was not much space left, Ye Ran voluntarily gave up his seat for Huo Beijiang.

“Thank you!”

Ye Ran’s mouth twitched, almost saying ‘it’s my pleasure.’

“Beijiang, what kept you so long? Anyone else would think you have a delicate wife hidden at home whom you didn’t want to leave!” Xi Liqun teased.

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Somebody chimed in, “Major General, you may not know this, but whether or not he has a wife at home, we do know that there are a lot of female soldiers in the division who like Major Huo.”

“Oh! Is that so?”

“Yes, it is, as far as I know, all the female soldiers in our division are talking about Major Huo.”

Hearing this, the director of the political department also agreed, “Not just your division! Even the female soldiers from our political department are all saying they want to marry Huo Beijiang.”

“That’s not acceptable! Other divisions may, but not the political department! That’s where all the beautiful girls of our army are.”

Everyone was taking turns talking, but Huo Beijiang’s facial expression never changed throughout. He seemed completely different in the division than he was in front of Nan Fei. He was more serious and spoke less.

Only his occasional lazy demeanor remained the same.

He flicked off some nonexistent dust on his sleeve and said casually, “Ye Ran, tell them about what happened back in school.”

Despite swearing in his mind, Ye Ran managed to respond with a smile: “The leaders here may not know that back in school, the girls who liked Major Huo could line up and circle the sports field three times.”
