Chapter 630: Chapter 630: In Deep Water and Scorching Fire_1 Chapter 630: Chapter 630: In Deep Water and Scorching Fire_1 Huo Beijiang was calm and composed. The people in the meeting room were excited, and their enthusiasm didn’t diminish due to the late arrival of their counterparts.
All the junior military officers were present today, and the large meeting room had dozens of them seated. Among them were sixteen primary division commanders, along with military staff, who were engaged in a heated discussion. Everyone was focusing their conversation on a young junior officer.
“Ye Ran, I heard you and the new commander of the 36th Division were classmates at the military academy?”
The handsome young man whose name was called twitched at the corner of his mouth. His temperament was strikingly different from the coarse men around him. He was dignified, elegant, with skin as fair as fine porcelain – the kind that would make women envious.
“Yes!” Ye Ran replied respectfully.
“Well, tell us about your old classmate.”
“Yeah! I heard he’s known as The Great Devil in the Southeast Military Region, the kind who can overturn the sea all by himself?”
Ye Ran couldn’t help but cough lightly, he really didn’t want to talk about Huo Beijiang. If he could, he would prefer never to see the man again.
The ones asking were commanders from various divisions, most of them over forty. They weren’t from Huo Beijiang’s generation and had only heard of him without any direct contact. So, out of curiosity and a desire to size up this future competitor, they inquired.
This time the 36th Division exceptionally defeated the 7th Division, capturing Zhou Mengyang, the commander of the 7th Division. It was the biggest joke in the Northern Military District. Everyone could probably laugh about it for a year.
Notably, Zhou Mengyang didn’t turn up for today’s meeting!
He could not bear such humiliation!
Ye Ran, unable to refuse, gritted his teeth and said, “Commanders, back in the military academy, Huo Beijiang was renowned. Whoever graduated from Imperial City National Defense had heard of him.”
After he finished speaking, he pointedly looked at the youngest officers and staff at the bottom, smiling and saying, “Among us, few would claim not to have been classmates of Huo Beijiang.”
The people who were pulled into the conversation cursed inwardly, refusing to acknowledge their past association with Huo Beijiang.
“Eh? So famous! Then why did he go to the Southeast Military Region after graduation?”
“Indeed!” Seeing they couldn’t escape the conversation, the crowd decided to blacken Huo Beijiang’s name while he was still absent. “The Great Devil, Huo Beijiang, earned his title at the military academy! From male to female students, no one escaped his devilish grasp.”
The moment one person spoke, others followed. Speaking of the old days was like opening a floodgate of bitter tears!
The endless amount of grievances that could never be spilled within three days and nights.
“This man was too monstrous! His memory, psychological quality, physical quality were all outstanding.” Although they didn’t want to admit it, they had no choice. “Relying on his advantages, he picked fights all the time. From the first year to the fourth, even the instructors weren’t spared of his assaults.”
Back then, their daily greetings wouldn’t be something like “Good morning!” or “Have you eaten?” but rather “Were you beaten today?” or “Who’s the unlucky one The Great Devil went after today?”
Their life was truly unbearable.
“But it’s not just that! His greatest virtues are his thick skin and venomous tongue!”
Everyone in the meeting room relished listening, all except for Ye Ran, who had a trace of schadenfreude in his heart. Just wait! Your good days are about to end! Zhou Mengyang’s defeat is just the beginning, definitely not the end.
