That was really what Jiang Shen thought.
But how could he dare to say it?
These two people in front of him were like gods in 117. Even if he was already the second-in-command, he couldn’t compare to them.
“Old Madam, that’s not what I meant.” Jiang Shen rubbed his hands together. “I’m just too shocked. Miss Chi Jiao is only eighteen years old this year?”
“Jiaojiao is seventeen this year. Why? Is there a problem?” Ou Zhenglin asked slowly.
“Old Sir, with all due respect, letting a seventeen-year-old girl be the leader of 117 is probably very difficult to convince the masses,” Jiang Shen said with a fake smile.
Upon hearing his words, Chi Jiao curled her lips. Her smile looked as clean and brilliant as ever, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
Her dark eyes glistened with a dark light as she stared at Jiang Shen.
“Whether I can convince the public or not doesn’t seem to be up to you.”
Jiang Shen could hear the harshness in the girl’s tone as he looked at Chi Jiao again.
Their gazes met in midair, but Chi Jiao did not back down.
Jiang Shen even felt a hint of pressure from her gaze.
“Indeed, it’s not up to my uncle to decide. But now that the 117 Special Forces is under ZF, everything will be decided by ZF,” Jiang Xiaoli said with a cold smile, her mocking gaze lingering on Chi Jiao and Ou Zhenglin.
This grandfather and granddaughter duo was really funny. Did they think that their family owned 117?
Did they think whoever they asked to be the head of the organization could do it just like that?
Ou Zhenglin seemed to have expected her to say this. He laughed and looked at her. “Jiang Shen, tell your niece. Do my words ever not count?”
The veins on Jiang Shen’s forehead were beginning to pop due to Jiang Xiaoli’s stupidity. However, he still maintained his most basic demeanor and glanced sideways at her.
His eyes were filled with blame.
Before coming here, he had warned this girl to control her straightforward temper and restrain her arrogance. The place they were coming to was not ordinary, and the people they were going to face were definitely not people they could look down on.
In order to meet Ou Zhenglin and his wife, he had written a year’s worth of requests.
There was no choice. Ou Zhenglin had a strange temper. Ever since he had retired, he didn’t like to use any electronic communication devices. If he wanted to talk to him, other than meeting him in person, he would have to write letters.
If it wasn’t for the recent unrest, Ou Zhenglin wouldn’t have agreed to meet him.
Jiang Xiaoli knew that her uncle had spent a lot of effort to meet Ou Zhenglin.
He was very curious why Jiang Xiaoli wasn’t using her brain to think about things. If Ou Zhenglin was really a useless old man, why would he waste so much of his energy?
When he thought about this, Jiang Shen hurriedly turned to Ou Zhenglin with a fawning smile. “You were the one who established 117. Of course what you say counts. Xiaoli doesn’t know this. Just treat her as talking a bunch of nonsense and don’t hold it against this insensible junior.”
Jiang Shen had once again said that she was insensible. Jiang Xiaoli looked at him unhappily.
What’s Eldest Uncle doing? Why is he constantly speaking for outsiders?
He was the vice team leader of 117. Was there a need to be so subservient to these people?
How shameful!
Ou Zhenglin couldn’t be bothered to argue with someone like Jiang Xiaoli. He said indifferently, “I’ve already reported the news of Jiaojiao taking over our positions to Bureau G, and they have agreed. It all depends on whether Jiaojiao is willing to take over. After all, 117 is only a part of what she’ll be taking over from us.”
