Chapter 693: Chapter 692: The First One_1 Chapter 693: Chapter 692: The First One_1 “…”

“…”

Well, very well indeed!

The office fell into a weird atmosphere.

Xi Liqun, trying to hold back his laughter, cleared his throat, “Bei Jiang! Why does the information I get differ from what everyone else is saying? I heard that in the 36th Division, you don’t allow any woman within ten meters of you.”

Huo Beijiang finally raised an eyebrow, deliberately feigned ignorance, “That’s nonsense! Don’t listen to their drivel.”

Everyone else was also shocked, looking at Huo Beijiang as if they were seeing a notorious playboy suddenly becoming virtuous.

Huo Beijiang was very displeased by their gazes.

After all, he was a married man, what would this bunch of bachelors know?

“So tell us what’s going on? Could my intelligence be wrong?” Xi Liqun seldom had the chance to tease Huo Beijiang and he surely would not let it go so easily.

“General, it’s mainly because they’re so ugly. They walk around me all day, damaging the image of our 36th Division.” He would rather offend all the female soldiers than let everyone know he was afraid of his wife! If this got out, it would greatly damage his reputation as the Great Devil.

“Er…”

“You brat, you’re asking for trouble.” Xi Liqun was surprised by Huo Beijiang’s response, “I can’t wait to see who you’ll marry one day, if you can’t find a wife, I want to see how you’ll stay a bachelor for the rest of your life!”

Zhou Mengyang was the most gleeful, slapping his thigh, “Hahaha… Everyone, remember what Major General Huo just said! Tell everyone when you get back.”

Huo Beijiang snorted coldly, he didn’t care. He had a wife, unlike certain bachelors who couldn’t get married.

“Alright alright, let’s get down to business!” It was finally the Chief of Staff who stepped forward. If he didn’t speak up, who knew where this conversation would lead. “Beijiang, did you manage to find Wei Qin when you went back today?”

In reality, they never expected to directly find Wei Qin to get a hold of the latest military equipment, yet each time new equipment was introduced, the Second Army never got a share. As if this was not enough, the 29th Army always mocked them.

Every time the division commanders came back from the command conference, they would always end up smashing a cup in anger.

“I found him. He wrote a note for me. The ordnance factory will directly liaise with us.”

“Really?” the Chief of Staff’s eyes lit up.

“You better not be bluffing!” Even Zhou Mengyang, who didn’t get along with Huo Beijiang, was so excited that he stood up.

Huo Beijiang snorted, “Why should I bullshit? If you don’t believe me, go and ask around.”

“Great!” Xi Liqun clapped his hands enthusiastically, “Bei Jiang, well done! Praise, praise.”

“No need for praises. I made the request on behalf of the 36th Division, so the equipment belongs to us.” Do they think he, Huo Beijiang, is a fool to work without benefits?

Xi Liqun didn’t care which division the equipment went to, as long as it was assigned to the Second Army instead of the 29th Army. But while he doesn’t mind, the other division commanders are not so accommodating. The office nearly turned into a battlefield over this.

Huo Beijiang, looking irritated, stood up from his chair, “General, I’m leaving as I have something to take care of.”

He was the first to leave before the meeting was over.

The office quieted down instantly.

“Alright! You should go!” Seeing Huo Beijiang’s cold expression, Xi Liqun didn’t stop him. In fact, he was well aware of the events that had occurred in the Huo Family and knew it greatly affected Huo Beijiang, so he was very understanding.
