Just as they both had a sneer on their lips, Qi Minglin walked back with her phone.
Li Guanghao turned his head to look at Qi Minglin, wondering in his heart what they would choose.
Qi Minglin coughed lightly, looked at everyone and said, "Next stop, Pingcun City. Everyone, please get ready."
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
"What, Hiramura City? Are you serious? How is this possible?"
Zhang Richeng's expression was extremely interesting. He stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief, and said...
"No, you must be mistaken. How could it be Pingcun City? Did the higher-ups approve it?" Gao Hua asked in equal shock, his words filled with astonishment.
“Agreed. From now on, command will also be handed over to Chen Feng, and he will take command.” Qi Minglin looked at Chen Feng.
Qi Minglin had expected Chen Feng to be smug and unable to contain his joy after gaining command.
After all, if an ordinary person suddenly gains command of a national project, anyone would probably be excited.
But when Qi Minglin turned around, she found that Chen Feng's expression was not excited or thrilled at all, but rather seemed more like...relaxed?
How could this be? Why does he have that expression?
To be honest, Qi Minglin was starting to have trouble understanding Chen Feng. She looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and bewilderment.
Chen Feng was indeed relieved after hearing the news. What he feared most was that he would lose command and no one would listen to him.
They claimed there was rare earth in this place, but they insisted on digging somewhere else.
Then, when they finally fail to mine anything, these incompetent teammates have to blame themselves.
When the time comes, you'll be so anxious and frustrated that you'll feel like cursing.
It can only be said that if it really comes to that, then Li Chunlai will come in handy.
Fortunately, he has now been given command, so Chen Feng can rest assured.
"Impossible! The higher-ups would never agree to this proposal. You must be acting on your own initiative!"
"I want to report this to my superiors and request a revote!"
Gao Hua said emotionally, his face full of resentment.
Upon hearing Gao Hua's words, Qi Minglin's eyes turned icy cold. She said in a chilling tone, "Gao Hua, have I been too kind to you?"
"Am I the captain of this team and you're the captain? Do you mean I have to listen to you?"
"When did it become your place to question me? Who do you think you are!"
When Gao Hua first questioned her, Qi Minglin was dissatisfied, but she did not show it and patiently explained it to him.
But when Gao Hua spoke to her in the same manner the second time, Qi Minglin's attitude instantly turned cold.
Aren't you getting a little too cocky?
Who do you think you are, daring to question me like that?
Apart from Zhang Richeng and Li Guanghao, no one in this team dares to talk to me like that.
Even the two of them wouldn't dare to point their fingers at her like that, at least their attitude wouldn't be so aggressive.
You're just a deputy's deputy, yet you dare to point fingers and act arrogantly towards her? Have you had enough of being a high-ranking official?
Gao Hua was embarrassed and his face turned red when Qi Minglin pointed her finger at him and scolded him in front of so many people.
However, he also realized that he had indeed crossed the line. It was not his place to say those words; it would have been fine if Zhang Richeng had asked him.
The room fell silent as Qi Minglin raged; no one dared to speak. Zhang Richeng glanced back at Gao Hua and could only try to smooth things over.
"Exactly, even if you're in a hurry, you can't say that. A grown man like you doesn't think before he speaks?"
"Apologize to the captain!"
Although Zhang Richeng's tone was somewhat stern, after a few words from him, Gao Hua's overstepping his bounds in questioning Qi Minglin was suddenly reduced to Gao Hua's momentary impatience.
The severity of these two situations is self-evident.
"I'm sorry, Captain. I was just in a hurry. If I offended you in any way, I apologize."
Upon hearing this, Gao Hua reacted quickly and bowed, his attitude quite sincere.
"snort."
Qi Minglin glanced at Zhang Richeng indifferently without saying anything, which was considered giving Zhang Richeng face.
We're all seasoned foxes; we all know what's going on here.
"Let's rest a bit and then get ready to set off," Li Guanghao said, looking at Qi Minglin.
"Okay, everyone go back and pack your things. We'll depart in two hours. Our destination: Hiramura City."
After Qi Minglin finished speaking, she took her phone and left the venue alone. Chen Feng followed her.
Seeing this, Li Chunlai quickly followed. It could be said that apart from the three of them, no one else in the meeting room moved.
Only after the three of them left did everyone stand up, some packing their things and others heading out.
Zhang Richeng and Gao Hua remained seated until everyone had left, at which point Zhang Richeng glared fiercely at Gao Hua.
"I'm sorry, brother, I acted impulsively just now."
"Can't you think before you speak? This isn't just about talking back to Qi Minglin; it's about something you've said that I can't bring up again!"
"Now we have no choice but to go to Pingcun City. You've ruined our plan that we've been working on for months."
"Do you know that Qi Minglin is waiting for this opportunity, and you've already shamelessly offered yourself to her? Damn it."
Zhang Richeng really wanted to slap this incompetent teammate.
"I was a bit carried away at the time, but I hope my brother is alright. If they can't find any mines in Pingcun City, they'll eventually have to go to the place we chose, won't they?"
"We've searched that place so thoroughly, but we haven't found any rare earth deposits. Do you think Chen Feng can find them?" Gao Hua said somewhat nonchalantly.
"That's true, but I'm afraid something unexpected might happen. I still don't understand why the higher-ups value Chen Feng so much, or what makes him so special."
"Could it be that he has some special ability that he didn't write on his resume?" Zhang Richeng said suspiciously.
"How could that be? Where would you find special abilities? Do you think this is a movie?"
"I reckon Qi Minglin is just trying his luck, as if he has no other choice," Gao Hua said with a smile.
"Let's hope so, we'll take it one step at a time. But to be honest, I don't really believe that Pingcun City can find rare earth mines. We haven't found any after so long, but he can find them just by going there. Are you going to change your mind?"
"The only thing I'm puzzled about is why this kid is so assertive, like he's determined to win. I just can't figure it out," Zhang Richeng said, lighting a cigarette.
"Hey, aren't all young people like this? He's probably just trying to show off. We've turned Pingcun City upside down and we still haven't found any rare earth mines. Do you think he can find them just by going there? Bullshit," Gao Hua scoffed.
"That's what I was thinking too. Let's go back and pack our things, and set off first."
