Chapter 165: Chapter 166 Shen Jianguo is Here
“I’m sorry!” He immediately let go, coughed awkwardly, and made a hasty excuse, “No fever, that’s good! I’ll head back now.” Having said that, he turned and left in an embarrassed hurry.
Only after he had left the dormitory area did Xu Qigang take a deep breath of the early winter chill, and his restless heart began to slowly calm down.
“Old Xu, Shen Jianguo is here!” Zhou Hong was running with an umbrella in the rain. When he reached Xu Qigang, his face was full of schadenfreude.
On hearing the three words “Shen Jianguo,” Xu Qigang’s face darkened, “So he’s come, why did you specially inform me? Can’t you handle it on your own?”
“After all, he’s the son of the former leader, we should at least say hello,” Zhou Hong said with a cunning smile, “You and he are old friends after all, of course, you have to meet in person.”
Xu Qigang looked at Zhou Hong dubiously, “Is that really what you think? You don’t have any ulterior motives?”
“Not at all, he’s representing the Provincial Rescue Center to pick up someone, we can’t be too casual,” Zhou Hong replied with a stern face. But in his heart, he was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks.
It was rumored that Sheng Ning had pursued Shen Jianguo before, and the upcoming encounter between the rivals would undoubtedly be spectacular.
“Understood,” Xu Qigang snatched the umbrella from Zhou Hong and headed towards his own office. Shen Jianguo was at the Research Institute, and due to the President, he was actually quite familiar with Shen Jianguo. They had met at many important occasions; Shen Jianguo was excellent, and his overall quality was similarly outstanding.
The only pity was that he had never been to battle, and what was more regrettable was that he would no longer have the chance to go to battle in the future.
For a man, not being able to go to battle in a lifetime is the greatest regret. Thus, Xu Qigang felt quite sympathetic to Shen Jianguo, but ever since he had witnessed Shen Jianguo taking Sheng Ning back from the hospital last time, he felt no sympathy anymore.
“That’s my umbrella!” Zhou Hong chased after him furiously, cursing Xu Qigang countless times in his mind.
“Don’t follow me!” Xu Qigang warned as he looked back.
Shen Jianguo sat upright in Xu Qigang’s office, though his heart had already flown to the women comrades’ training square. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch; it was just dinner time. At this moment, he might bump into Sheng Ning in the canteen.
Thinking of this, a warm and gentle smile appeared in Shen Jianguo’s handsome brows and eyes.
“Mr. Shen, can we take a look around?” the research assistant next to him asked excitedly, “I’ve often heard how impressive the War Wolf Rescue Team is, it’d be such a loss if we couldn’t see it today.”
“That’s up to Captain Xu,” Shen Jianguo said, standing up from his chair and looking at Xu Qigang as he walked in.
“Hello, Captain Xu!” He gave a standard greeting, and the excited assistant hurriedly followed suit.
Xu Qigang returned the greeting, “Please have a seat, Mr. Shen.”
After the two exchanged courtesies, Shen Jianguo handed over a document from the Provincial Rescue Center to Xu Qigang.
He glanced over it briefly, then said, “Thank you for your effort, Mr. Shen. The training of all personnel from the Provincial Rescue Center has concluded, I can arrange for someone to assist the team, and then have a car take you all back.” Xu Qigang finished and without waiting for Shen Jianguo to respond, he picked up the telephone on his desk and dialed.
“Hello! This is Xu Qigang! Notify Li Duoxi to gather the people from the Provincial Rescue Center and bring them to the headquarters.”
Shen Jianguo looked at Xu Qigang in surprise. Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he be invited to stay for dinner and then visit the War Wolf Rescue Team before returning the next day?
