Upon hearing this, Feng Biao grabbed a chair without saying a word and threw it at the security guard who had spoken.
"Hey Feng, I'm one of Captain Zhao's men, you dare... damn it..."
Wang Dabao, Section Chief Hu, and a group of others waited outside the duty room. The last female logistics staff member to come out even closed the door behind her, seemingly afraid that the noise inside would disturb the two section chiefs.
Hearing the crackling sounds in the duty room, Wang Dabao smiled with satisfaction, took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed it to Section Chief Hu, then tossed the cigarettes to Zheng Jun, saying, "Give these to everyone. There are some ladies here, you can smoke them at the stairwell."
Zheng Jun happily accepted the cigarette and beckoned the group to the stairwell entrance.
These days, it's easy to buy a single Zhonghua cigarette, but if you want to buy a whole box, you need a ration coupon.
Even if you could buy a single cigarette, no ordinary person would be so bored as to buy such an expensive one.
When people saw Wang Dabao casually toss out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes as if it were a few cents' worth of cheap cigarettes, without even blinking, they formed a new label for him: generous and well-connected.
Without connections or skills, even money can't buy a whole box of Zhonghua cigarettes.
"Da Bao, I'm sorry you had to see your older brother make a fool of yourself."
Section Chief Hu's face was gloomy. He took two deep drags on his cigarette before speaking, "I only let go for a while, but I didn't expect the security department to be so lax."
Wang Dabao nodded: "Yeah, it's pretty funny."
"Cough cough..."
Section Chief Hu was nearly choked to death by Wang Dabao's words.
I was just being polite, why did you take it so seriously!
Wang Dabao quickly reached out and patted Section Chief Hu on the back: "You'll be in charge when we deal with Zhao Zhongyi later."
"I'm almost retired, and you're making me offend people!" Section Chief Hu shoved Wang Dabao's arm away and frowned.
Both of them were former military officers, and after spending two days together, they got to know each other's temperaments and didn't hold back when they spoke.
"It's fine if we don't care."
Wang Dabao nodded, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, "Don't blame me if things get out of hand."
Section Chief Hu snorted, "As long as you don't prevent me from retiring peacefully, you can do whatever you want."
With a creak, the door opened.
Feng Biao walked out excitedly, waving his hands: "Section Chief Hu, Deputy Section Chief Wang, this kid has always been running around in the security section because he has Zhao Zhongyi backing him up. Today I've finally gotten my revenge."
"This is nothing. Let's go and lead the way. We're going to visit Captain Zhao."
"Alright, this way please, both of you."
Feng Biao had indeed had a good time. He hadn't dared to break ties with Zhao Zhongyi before, but for some reason, after just one encounter with Wang Dabao, he knew that Zhao Zhongyi was doomed and made up his mind to cling to Deputy Section Chief Wang's coattails.
Now he can finally understand Zheng Jun's happiness.
The disdain I had for Zheng Jun's sycophantic behavior had long since vanished from Shichahai.
A large group of people stormed up to the second floor and arrived at the door of a dormitory of the security team.
Without saying a word, Feng Biao went up and kicked the door.
"Captain Feng, let me do it." Zheng Jun hurriedly squeezed forward.
As the two were arguing, the door creaked open.
"Old Feng, what the hell are you doing? Can't you knock on the door with your hands? Are your hands for stealing birds?" A burly man in his forties, who looked like he had just woken up, stood inside the door and launched into a tirade against Feng Biao at the door.
Feng Biao was thoroughly humiliated by the other party, so his expression was naturally not pleasant. However, he was used to being ridiculed by Zhao Zhongyi, and for a moment he really didn't know how to retort.
"Zhao Zhongyi, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you even have the demeanor of a security captain?"
Section Chief Hu took two steps forward, pushed open the door, and strode inside.
Wang Dabao followed behind, followed by Zheng Jun and Feng Biao. The rest of the people blocked the entrance, and no one went inside.
"Oh, Section Chief Hu, what brings you here?"
Zhao Zhongyi immediately put on a smiling face and woke up the other people who were fast asleep in the dormitory.
"I told you there was a meeting this morning yesterday, why didn't you attend?"
Zhao Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead. "Oh dear, look at my brain! Last night, some people reported that there was gambling in the residential compound near us. We had to stake out until midnight to catch them. In the process, I forgot about the meeting."
"Forgetting to attend a meeting is a minor matter, but forgetting to report to Section Chief Hu about cracking down on gambling is a major matter."
Wang Dabao chuckled and continued, "The security department isn't under your control, Captain Zhao, and the security team members aren't your hired thugs!"
"you......"
Zhao Zhongyi suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Dabao, who was speaking. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, but then his face was full of smiles again. "You must be the new Deputy Section Chief Wang. Please forgive my rudeness. I'm just a pig-brain. I forget everything when something urgent happens. I was thinking of reporting to Section Chief Hu again this morning when I came back."
"I heard you were coming. I was planning to go to your office to report on my work yesterday, but you left at noon, so I didn't have a chance to meet you."
As Zhao Zhongyi spoke, he took out cigarettes from his pocket and respectfully offered them to Section Chief Hu and Wang Dabao.
Wang Dabao was surprised. This Zhao Zhongyi was a man of some importance; he was cunning in his words and actions.
The key is that when she sees the situation is not right, she can immediately lower herself and act humble. If you put her in a palace drama, she would definitely be a scheming female lead.
If Wang Dabao were a naive young man who had only recently entered the workforce, Zhao Zhongyi might have actually resolved the crisis with just a few words.
Unfortunately, Zhao Zhongyi overthought things and tried to use the same old tactics against Wang Dabao.
"Your cigarettes are terrible."
