Chapter 761: Conflict
Li Xiaofei gave Hu Shuo a deep glance but didn’t say anything further. A moment later, the two of them arrived at the Military Guard Bureau.
Although the Military Guard Bureau was only one of the four departments under the Military Division, it was the most powerful among them. It held the most authority within Chongque City, and was responsible for managing all military base planets.
Unfortunately, their timing was off. The Director of the Military Guard Bureau, Li Sheng, had left on urgent business to meet with the City Lord at the latter’s office and was not present at the bureau. The one who received them was Yue Changxing, the Third Deputy Director of the Military Guard Bureau.
“Hehe, this young brother must be Li Qingchen, the Chief Evolution Officer of Base Planet No. 1818, right?” Yue Changxing said with a broad smile.
He was a chubby man in his thirties, with rolls of fat and a protruding belly. His skin was fair, and when he smiled, his whole body trembled like a laughing Buddha.
“Greetings, Director Yue,” Li Xiaofei bowed.
Hu Shuo also greeted him with a friendly smile. Although Hu Shuo was the Director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, the status of the Internal Affairs Bureau was far lower than that of the Military Guard Bureau, so he kept a relatively humble demeanor.
Yue Changxing appeared kind and affable. After greeting Li Xiaofei, he began chatting enthusiastically. “Brother Li, you’ve done a great job on Earth Base No. 1818. I truly admire your work. Let’s stay in close contact from now on.”
Li Xiaofei glanced at Hu Shuo with a look of surprise.
What is going on? Isn’t this a very high evaluation of my work?
Hu Shuo remained silent. Yue Changxing then ordered someone to serve tea and chatted warmly with Li Xiaofei for a while, acting as if they were blood-related brothers.
After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, he excused himself due to official duties. Li Xiaofei and Hu Shuo remained in the reception room, waiting for Director Li Sheng to return so that they could give their report.
