Chapter 2344 - 2353: I Need to Catch Up on Sleep

Zhao Muchen was very frustrated. Damn it, there were less than half an hour left until the Chief Instructor’s inauguration, so why hadn’t Dragon Head arrived yet?

But, when he had called Dragon Head previously, it had already displeased him. Now if he were to call him again and annoy him further, what if he really didn’t come?

Just as Zhao Muchen hesitated, Guo Wei’s father, Guo Donglin, and Zhang Zhaoxing arrived at Zhao Muchen’s office.

Knock knock knock, Guo Donglin knocked on the door very politely.

Hearing the knock, Zhao Muchen was overjoyed.

He’s here!

Had Dragon Head finally arrived?

With a whoosh, Zhao Muchen leaped up, not at all like an old man, and dashed towards the office door!

With a whoosh, Zhao Muchen opened the door, his face filled with surprise, and said, "Dragon..."

Guo Donglin was completely baffled. Wasn’t Zhao Muchen very arrogant?

Why would he come to open the door himself?

He didn’t have that much face, did he?

Could it be that Zhao Muchen was doing this to give face to Zhang Zhaoxing?

Thinking this, a hint of joy appeared on Guo Donglin’s face. It seemed promoting Zhang Zhaoxing as the Chief Instructor of the Southern Sword Special Brigade was the right move!

Having only uttered one word, Zhao Muchen realized the person standing at the door wasn’t Dragon Head.

The joyful expression on Zhao Muchen’s face quickly faded, replaced by a different tone as he said, "Oh, it’s Little Guo? What are you here for?"

Caught up in his own thoughts, Guo Donglin didn’t notice the change in Zhao Muchen’s tone and spoke rather reservedly, "Commander Zhao, Zhaoxing’s inauguration ceremony is about to officially begin. Please come and preside over the event..."

Before Guo Donglin could finish the sentence, Zhao Muchen rudely interrupted him.

"You guys go out and wait for a bit; I need to make a phone call first."

Go out?

Wait for a bit?

That’s not how the script was supposed to go!

Wasn’t Zhao Muchen supposed to give a lot of face to the Chief Instructor of Southern Sword?

"Zhao..."

Guo Donglin wanted to say something, but Zhao Muchen lost his temper.

"I told you to get out! This is a military order! Guo Donglin, are you going to defy a military order?"

In a flash, Guo Donglin’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver. Despite being extremely unwilling, Guo Donglin did not dare to defy a military order and could only salute Zhao Muchen.

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Donglin and Zhang Zhaoxing quickly left the office, both with puzzled looks on their faces, not understanding what got into Zhao Muchen.

With a bang, Zhao Muchen closed the door, then dialed Qin Yu’s phone number.

Qin Yu was comfortably lying on a massage chair, sleeping soundly, when suddenly, the ring of the phone woke him up.

Qin Yu was annoyed. Damn it, it was that old man Zhao again!

Qin Yu snatched up the phone and barked, "Old man Zhao, will you ever give it a rest?"

If an ordinary person dared to shout at Zhao Muchen like that, Zhao Muchen would certainly teach him a lesson in manners, but this person was Qin Yu.

Being in need of a favor, Zhao Muchen could only respond with a forced smile.

"Dragon Head, where are you? The inauguration ceremony is about to begin."

Huh?

Qin Yu was taken aback and slapped his forehead; he had completely forgotten about it!

"I’m at Qingcheng."

"Qingcheng?"

Zhao Muchen’s voice went up by eight octaves!

Zhao Muchen’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. If Qin Yu had been one of his soldiers, Zhao Muchen would have definitely hit him so hard he’d be searching for his teeth on the ground!

"Dragon Head, you promised me yesterday..."

"Yeah, I promised you yesterday, but you had the nerve to disturb my sleep this morning, so I need to catch up on my sleep!"

Qin Yu shamelessly made excuses, almost driving Zhao Muchen to his wit’s end!

"Dragon Head, you better come over now, no, wait for me, I’ll come to pick you up."

Zhao Muchen sighed with a wry smile, it seemed the inauguration ceremony would have to be postponed!

Zhao Muchen didn’t give Qin Yu a chance to refuse and decisively hung up the phone. Zhao Muchen was not afraid that Qin Yu would stand him up again.

After all, if he, a leader, was treated like this, and if Qin Yu still didn’t show respect, it really would be unreasonable.

Zhao Muchen sighed and called his aide-de-camp, and the call was quickly answered. Zhao Muchen ordered, "Prepare an armed helicopter for me immediately."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Muchen stormed out of the office.

Finally, when Zhao Muchen came out, Guo Donglin said with a ingratiating smile, "Leader, about Zhaoxing’s inauguration ceremony..."

Guo Donglin’s words were cut off once again, "Little Guo, go find Staff Officer Chen immediately, tell him the ceremony is delayed by half an hour and to give the troops a lecture on spiritual civilization construction."

Huh?

Guo Donglin was dumbfounded, wasn’t Zhao Muchen always opposed to those staff officers who endlessly preached about spiritual civilization construction?

Wasn’t he always focused on military capabilities? What was going on today?

"Yes! I’ll go right now, Leader, where are you heading to?"

"I have something very important to do, I’ll be back in half an hour!"

"But..."

"No buts! This is a military order!"

With that said, Zhao Muchen turned and left with a furious stride, leaving Guo Donglin nearly spitting blood with frustration!

Guo Donglin and Zhang Zhaoxing exchanged looks, walking towards the drill ground with faces full of gloom. Guo Donglin saw Staff Officer Chen in the distance.

Guo Donglin hurried over and said softly, "Staff Officer Chen, could you come over for a second?"

Staff Officer Chen smiled and quickly approached Guo Donglin, whispering in his ear, "Old Guo, you owe me a drink tonight. I helped you keep your daughter-in-law in check."

"Drinks are no problem, but first go up there and conduct a lecture on spiritual civilization construction for the troops."

Whoosh, Staff Officer Chen’s face changed instantly, angrily saying, "What kind of friend are you, Guo Donglin, repaying kindness with malice? Everyone knows our Leader Zhao hates spiritual civilization construction! Are you trying to get me thrown into solitary?"

"Old Chen, this is an order from Leader Zhao. If you don’t believe it, ask Zhaoxing."

Staff Officer Chen looked at Zhang Zhaoxing with a questioning gaze, and Zhang Zhaoxing nodded, "That’s right, it’s Leader Zhao’s order."

Staff Officer Chen trusted Zhang Zhaoxing’s character and wasn’t afraid anymore, so he went up to the podium.

Seeing this, all the new recruits and decommissioned veterans stood up straight!

In their minds, the Chief Instructor’s inauguration ceremony was about to commence!

Guo Wei and Zhang Zhaoxing exchanged glances from afar, both feeling triumphant. Once they entered the training camp, wouldn’t Yang Bingbing be at their mercy?

What the new recruits and veterans didn’t expect was that, damn it, Staff Officer Chen actually started on the spiritual civilization construction.

A torrent of verbose speeches flowed forth, continuing for a full half hour!

For the first time, Zhao Muchen felt Staff Officer Chen was somewhat useful, as he had bought him half an hour’s time.

Zhao Muchen personally went to pick up Qin Yu, and Qin Yu couldn’t refute the courtesy. Qin Yu had arrived early at the top floor of Fortune Tower.

Seeing Qin Yu waiting early on the rooftop, Zhao Muchen’s eyes squinted, and he decided to test Qin Yu. Zhao Muchen lowered a ladder but didn’t land.

Qin Yu shook his head lightly, the old man sure held a grudge!

With such strong winds, the ladder was anything but stable, and it would be a real challenge for most people to accomplish the task.

But was Qin Yu just anybody?

Qin Yu leapt and grabbed the end of the ladder firmly, yanked it down hard, and the armed helicopter shuddered, almost crashing to the ground!

Zhao Muchen and the helicopter pilot were drenched in sweat from fright!

Meanwhile, Qin Yu shot up dramatically!

Qin Yu landed firmly, directly into the cabin of the helicopter!
