He didn’t react at first, only to realize that the health department’s officials had arrived so early, and Nangong was somewhat worried that these two people, once arriving at their research institute, would cause trouble for them.
Nangong sought to prevent Wang Bin and Zhao Xiong from meddling in their scientific research through a change in his demeanor, but as it turned out, things hadn’t proceed as Nangong had hoped.
After snorting coldly at Nangong, Wang Bin and Zhao Xiong even more arrogantly raised their heads, looking down their noses at Nangong, their eyes sweeping across the cafeteria with utter disdain.
Soon, they noticed Xiao Yifei standing beside Nangong, and upon seeing Xiao Yifei, Zhao Xiong couldn’t help but squint sharply, fixing his gaze on Xiao Yifei with a voice full of confusion.
"Kid, have I seen you before?"
After sizing up Xiao Yifei from head to toe, Zhao Xiong arrogantly questioned him.
Although Xiao Yifei had once gone with them to receive the Japanese delegation at the airport, where some unpleasant events had occurred, it seemed now that Zhao Xiong had clearly forgotten Xiao Yifei. Read full story at N0veI.Fiɾe.net
"Isn’t this the kid who was even more arrogant than us at the airport?"
Although Zhao Xiong had forgotten Xiao Yifei, Wang Bin had not. After sizing up Xiao Yifei, he turned to Zhao Xiong with a sneering comment. However, after speaking to Xiao Yifei, he no longer paid him any attention but rather raised his head to look towards the back of the cafeteria.
Hearing Wang Bin’s words, a flicker of realization crossed Zhao Xiong’s eyes. He finally remembered where he had seen Xiao Yifei, but like Wang Bin, after a dismissive chuckle, he raised his head and no longer looked at Xiao Yifei.
Even though they had had some conflict with Xiao Yifei in the past, now that they had arrived at the research institute, they utterly disregarded him. In their minds, even Nangong had to act submissively upon seeing them, let alone this insignificant young man.
Even if they wanted to take revenge on this young man, it would have to wait until after they’d dealt with Nangong!
However, despite the scrutinizing and evaluative looks from Wang Bin and Zhao Xiong, Xiao Yifei acted as if he had not seen them, and even the clear sound of a scornful laugh, Xiao Yifei seemed deaf to it.
His handsome face was filled with indifference, untouched by any of it.
At this time, the members of the research team eating in the cafeteria, upon seeing the situation, couldn’t help but put down their chopsticks, their brows furrowed as they looked towards Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin at the front.
Having seen what had just happened, they were certain that these two men did not come to their research institute with good intentions, and just the attitude of Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin towards Nangong filled their hearts with dissatisfaction.
But seeing all this, the eyes of the research personnel in the cafeteria now couldn’t help but show a hint of gloom.
Because Nangong’s attitude seemed to suggest something else, as if something had happened, but they were still completely unaware, not understanding the situation yet, they just stopped eating, their gazes turning towards Xiao Yifei and Nangong.
The cafeteria, which had been somewhat noisy, gradually quieted down.
From the side and back, the professor who had inquired about Xiao Yifei’s situation that morning was suddenly alarmed upon seeing this scenario. He was not only concerned about this current situation but also its significant relation to his worries earlier this day.
However, just at that moment, Wang Bin’s grating voice suddenly erupted. As he made this sound, his face contorted into something monstrous. He pointed directly at Nangong and rebuked loudly, "What is going on here!"
Wang Bin reached out his hand, pointing toward the back of the cafeteria.
His sudden outburst startled the other people in the cafeteria. However, upon seeing Wang Bin’s gesture, they couldn’t help but follow the direction of his hand and look toward the back of the cafeteria.
"Section Chief Wang, what’s wrong?"
After also glancing toward the back, Nangong turned back around, looking at Wang Bin with confusion. He had no idea why Wang Bin would have such a strong reaction all of a sudden.
"You really have some nerve!"
Upon seeing the direction Wang Bin was pointing, Zhao Xiong’s face instantly darkened too. Squinting his eyes, his voice filled with a chilling tone, he began to speak to Nangong.
This situation left Nangong completely bewildered.
Xiao Yifei slightly squinted his eyes upon witnessing the scene unfolding before him. He too had looked toward the back of the cafeteria earlier, but there, apart from the Japan delegation dining, there wasn’t any other notable situation.
Therefore, Zhao Xiong’s sudden actions only added to Nangong’s confusion. By now, he could see that Zhao Xiong seemed even angrier than before. Yet, this very situation failed to clarify what the problem actually was.
Nangong even felt that his own attitude had been very sincere moments earlier, yet Zhao Xiong seemed to have not reacted to the situation at all. Far from having no reaction, Nangong noticed that Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin seemed even more excessive than before.
But even so, he was completely clueless as to why Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin appeared so suddenly enraged.
It wasn’t just Nangong. Now, other individuals in the cafeteria, upon witnessing this situation, also couldn’t help but furrow their brows. They noticed Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin’s hostile approach, yet they still had no idea what was going on.
In the incidents that emerged this morning, they could sense an ominous aura.
Xiao Yifei stood on the other side, his gaze flickering mysteriously as he looked at Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin, seemingly guessing why they had suddenly erupted.
However, having anticipated this situation, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up in Xiao Yifei’s heart.
True to form, following the words spoken by Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin, Xiao Yifei’s suspicions were confirmed.
"Nangong, you’re letting the Japanese delegation’s esteemed guests dine in this dump?"
Zhao Xiong, gritting his teeth and his voice filled with harsh coldness, said to Nangong, "Do you know who they are, letting them eat in this dump, these things that even pigs wouldn’t touch?"
"Your audacity is truly astounding!"
Upon hearing Zhao Xiong speak, Wang Bin couldn’t help but immediately follow up with a stern tone toward Nangong, "If the Japanese delegation’s esteemed guests are slighted, and it leads to undesirable consequences, none of you will get away with it!"
He stretched out his hand, pointing disrespectfully at Nangong’s face.
Upon hearing Zhao Xiong and Wang Bin’s words, the researchers in the cafeteria widened their eyes and even stood up, because to them, the words spoken by Wang Bin and Zhao Xiong seemed particularly bullying and discriminatory!
