Chapter 664: Slapping the Fifth Xuan (Part 1)
"Didn't you say you were going to have a meeting? It's almost four o'clock, why haven't you come yet?"
"When I went to the restroom earlier, I heard someone from Xiguang Group talking about it. It seemed like Mr. Fu and the general manager were discussing something in the conference room upstairs. I guess they haven't finished yet."
"No way! Didn't they say they'd be here a little after 8am? It's already been over six hours. What kind of discussion could take so long? If there are so many issues, can't they discuss them with us?"
He lowered his voice and muttered to himself the second half of the sentence.
But Team Leader Mu, who was standing nearby, still heard what was going on and couldn't help but glare at him unhappily. "What are you talking about? Mr. Fu is the lead person in charge of the Star Core project. He's discussing things with the general manager, so why would he need to explain it to us in detail?"
"Besides, even if they were willing to tell us, apart from the procedures, what else would you understand?"
Team leader Mu glanced at the few people who were obviously getting impatient, with a hint of warning in his eyes, and reminded them: "This time we came to Xiguang Group, we represent the Guardian Hall. The order from above is for us to learn from that adult and receive him on behalf of the Guardian Hall. We will be leaving tomorrow, so be calm and don't cause any trouble at this time."
He emphasized his tone and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. This gentleman's status is even higher than Mr. Fu's. If you offend him, no one can protect you."
The four of them, who had been somewhat relaxed, suddenly became alert and nodded solemnly.
Diwu Xuan even smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Mu. We still have some sense of propriety. When someone comes over, we will..."
Halfway through his words, the door of the conference room in front of him was pushed open from the outside, and several figures appeared in his sight.
Looking at the two familiar figures, Diwu Xuan paused and could not say the rest of the words.
Team leader Mu and his three companions also heard the noise and immediately turned around to look.
When they saw Xie Xihe and Sheng Shijing entering right after Fu Yunting, the four of them were shocked, with uncertainty flashing across their eyes.
Where is the person in charge?
Don't tell them it's one of these two?
This...isn't this too young?
The four of them were unsure of the newcomer's identity. Just as they were waiting for Fu Yunting to introduce him, a sneer-filled voice suddenly rang out from among them, saying, "Miss Xie, Mr. Sheng, we meet again so soon."
Xie Xihe was not surprised at all that he would take the initiative to speak. He smiled and said, "It's quite fast."
Diwu Xuan's sneer widened. After saying this, he looked towards Fu Yunting and asked politely, "Mr. Fu told us to look around to see if there are any suitable people to bring back to the Guardian Palace. Excuse me, are these two the people Mr. Fu has found to bring back to the Guardian Palace?"
Fu Yunting glanced back at Xie Xihe, and seeing the casual smile still on her lips, he understood. He smiled for a moment and replied half-truthfully, "To take it back to the Guardian Hall."
Diwu Xuan confirmed his guess, his smile widened, and he continued, "Then could you allow me to ask them a few questions first?"
Fu Yunting's lips curled up into a playful smile, and he casually pulled out an office chair and sat in it, saying nonchalantly, "Team Leader Five, whatever you want."
Xie Xihe also sat in the chair that Sheng Shijing pulled out, his expression still distracted, and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Diwu Xuan watched her sit in the main seat in the middle, his face suddenly darkening, but then he smiled coldly again and said straight to the point, "If I remember correctly, just a few days ago, Miss Xie said she was not interested in the Guardian Hall and didn't want to join. How could she change her mind after just a few days?"
Xie Xihe glanced at him and asked, "Is this the question you want to ask?"
"Of course, I was captivated by the Fifth Team Leader's aura and was afraid you'd cause me trouble. Anyway, even if I refused to join the Guardian Hall, I'd be forcibly recruited. Rather than that, I might as well take the initiative and join. Perhaps that would calm the Fifth Team Leader's wrath and get you to forgive my offense."
Xie Xihe paused as the corners of Diwu Xuan's lips gradually rose. He raised his eyes and looked over, then said with a smile, "Is Team Leader Five satisfied with what I said?"
Diwu Xuan's smile faltered, and he suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He asked cautiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is..." The deliberately drawn-out ending made people unconsciously tense up, especially the next moment, the girl who had been sloppy all the time suddenly turned cold and said in a cold voice, "What I mean is that from today on, the fifth team leader will no longer be involved in the research and development of the Star Core project. I will find someone else to replace you."
Diwu Xuan's pupils shrank sharply, and he could hardly believe what he heard: "What did you say?!!"
Xie Xihe's brows turned even colder: "It doesn't matter if you're blind or deaf, but it's a big problem if your brain doesn't work well."
She tilted her head to look at Fu Yunting and said coldly, "A fool like this with a hole in his brain can be a team leader. Is there no one left in the Future Base or the Guardian Hall? How can you tolerate it?"
Fu Yunting was quite cooperative. He immediately kicked his chair away and stood up, saying respectfully, "Miss Xie's lesson is this. When I return this time, I will re-evaluate the team leaders and make sure to remove these brainless idiots so they don't get in your way."
Xie Xihe said "hmm" in a neither light nor heavy tone.
The sound of fingertips tapping on the table rang out again and again, becoming even clearer in the deadly silent conference room, and gradually brought everyone back to their senses.
Team Leader Mu and the others exchanged glances quickly. They clearly understood everything and immediately stood up straight, bowed slightly in Xie Xihe's direction, and said respectfully, "Greetings, sir."
Xie Xihe nodded and tapped the table again with his fingertips: "Sit down."
The four of them didn't dare to say a word and sat down obediently in the nearest chair.
The Xiguang Group staff who had been guarding the conference room door immediately stepped forward and turned on the projection equipment, and at the same time distributed the information that Xie Xihe had just asked someone to prepare.
Only after everything was ready did Xie Xihe look towards Diwu Xuan, who was still standing there blankly, and said calmly, "Mr. Diwu, how long do you want to stay?"
The Fifth Xuankongdong's eyes gradually regained their focus. He turned his neck and found Xie Xihe's direction again. He still couldn't believe it: "You...you are the person in charge?"
Xie Xihe smiled, a rather playful smile: "Is it that I haven't shown it clearly enough or do you just like to be tortured?"
Diwu Xuan was very stubborn and asked again through gritted teeth, "Are you the person in charge?"
Xie Xihe glanced at him, took out a silver ring from his pocket and put it on his little finger. He said lightly, "Let me introduce myself. I am the head of the Future Base and the initiator of the Star Core Project. I am Xie Xihe."
