The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: We Have Nothing to Talk About

”So, the one who cracked the human trafficking case was Captain Wu Mengyao? Qingshan was right. A Patrol Captain this capable must be given more responsibility!”

Teng Qingshan almost choked. ’This Old Dai is so damn unreliable!’

”Director Dai, what’s going on? Didn’t you say Patrol Team Two cracked the human trafficking case?”

Dai Zhen was beyond frustrated. He had schemed endlessly to snatch this bit of credit, but... ’That damn Pan Guang is completely unreliable!’

With so many people watching, including reporters, Dai Zhen didn’t dare say anything rash. He could only take the blame himself.

”Sir, it’s my fault. I misremembered.”

After saying this, Dai Zhen walked to a corner, dialed Pan Guang’s number, and immediately tore into him. ”Pan Guang! What the hell are you doing? Where are you?! Why did Wu Mengyao bring them back? You have so many people in Team Two, and you couldn’t handle one woman? Huh?!”

”Director, I think there was something wrong with the boxed lunches. Everyone in Team Two has diarrhea. We’re practically shitting our guts out...”

”Useless! A whole bunch of useless fools!”

Fuming, Dai Zhen hung up the phone.

Teng Qingshan was also about to explode with rage, but he couldn’t show it. He could only force a strained smile. ”It was just a small mistake, nothing serious. As long as the case is solved, it’s fine.”

With that, Teng Qingshan stormed away. He couldn’t stay a second longer!

’He had thought he would get the Patrol Office firmly in his grasp today and put Shen Jiangnan in his place. He never expected it to backfire so badly, suffering a double loss!’

’The most infuriating part was that his own secretary had contacted the reporters!’

’It was a complete and utter farce!’

Fuming, Teng Qingshan got into his car.

”Where to, sir?”

”The Municipal Government Office.”

”Yes, sir.”

RING... RING...

Suddenly, Teng Qingshan’s phone rang.

Teng Qingshan was so annoyed he was about to hang up instinctively. But when he saw the number on the screen, his expression turned serious. He quickly answered, his tone slightly fawning, ”Mentor, you were looking for me?”

”Qingshan, here’s the situation...”

After hanging up, Teng Qingshan’s expression was unreadable. He cast a complex gaze through the window at the beaming Shen Jiangnan.

’So that’s what was going on behind the scenes. It’s a good thing I pulled out when I did!’

’Otherwise, I might have been doomed beyond recovery!’

Teng Qingshan sent Dai Zhen a text message.

After receiving Teng Qingshan’s text, the color drained from Dai Zhen’s face, and his forehead broke out in sweat.

’What should I do?’

’What the hell am I going to do?’

With Teng Qingshan gone, Shen Jiangnan had the situation firmly under control.

The press conference began on time. Shen Jiangnan highly commended the work of the Patrol Office, and he was especially effusive in his praise for Wu Mengyao.

Clearly, Wu Mengyao’s appointment as Deputy Director was now a sure thing.

After Wu Mengyao finished speaking, Wu Fei finally found an opportunity to get his sister alone.

”Sis, what was that all about? Why did Director Dai say Team Two cracked the case? You were the one who brought the children back.”

Wu Mengyao scoffed. ”Do you even have to ask? They wanted to steal the credit! They sent my entire team out to Yangjia Stream Village to ’maintain public order’!”

”What? Then, Sis, how did you...”

”It was all thanks to your friend, Cheng Yuan! He’s the one who cracked the case, and he planned to give the credit to me. I suspect he used some trick to give everyone in Team Two a case of the runs, which is how I was able to bring the suspects and the children back smoothly.”

”Brother Cheng is a Divine Doctor. He can definitely pull something like that off.”

”Xiaofei, you have to remember this: hold on tight to your friendship with Cheng Yuan. He’ll be a huge help to you in the future!”

”Don’t worry, Sis. I already see Brother Cheng as my own brother.”

Wu Fei paused, looking his sister up and down before whispering, ”And if Brother Cheng became my brother-in-law... well, I’d be okay with that.”

”You little rascal! How dare you tease your own sister!”

”Hahahaha!”

...

For the young valet driver, today had been absolutely surreal. He’d somehow ended up driving a police car, been mistaken for a Patrol Officer, gotten ambushed by reporters for an interview, and even attended the Patrol Office’s victory celebration...

And now, several family members of the rescued children were warmly shaking his hand, thanking him profusely.

Cheng Yuan found the situation both exasperating and amusing. ”Hey, man, you getting addicted to this? We should slip out while we can. It’s going to be awkward for both of us when the Patrol Office bigwigs figure things out.”

The valet driver scratched his head sheepishly. ”It’s been my dream to be a Patrol Officer since I was a kid. Unfortunately, I didn’t get into Xingbu University. Thanks to you, Brother Cheng, I got to live that dream for a day.”

”Listen, man, if you’re serious about wanting to be a Patrol Officer, I can talk to Sister Wu for you and see what she can do. Maybe she can get you a temporary position. Whether you can make it permanent after that will be up to you.”

”Really? Thank you, Brother Cheng!”

”By the way, I don’t even know your name yet.”

”Brother Cheng, my name is Zhang Lei. You can just call me Xiaozhang!”

”Xiaozhang, I have your number. I’ll call you when I have news.”

”Thank you, thank you so much.”

=========

Cheng Yuan said goodbye to Zhang Lei and hailed a cab, planning to head back to the orphanage to pick up Shen Youchu.

Halfway there, he suddenly got a call from Hua Yao.

”Mom, what’s up?”

”Get over to the company, quick.”

Cheng Yuan gave a wry smile. ”Mom, you know I don’t really get business. You guys are the experts. Just make the decisions, you don’t need my opinion.”

”It’s not about the company. It’s Ruoxi. One of her suitors is here! He’s causing a scene at the office and ruining our job fair!”

”Gu Chen?”

”How did you know it was Gu Chen? Did Ruoxi tell you?”

”Yeah. I’m on my way now!”

After hanging up, Cheng Yuan’s voice turned cold. ”Driver, change of plans. Head to Futai Square.”

”You got it!”

Ten minutes later, the taxi arrived at Futai Square.

Cheng Yuan got out and headed straight for Building A. It was his first time at the company, and he had to ask several people before he found Block C.

He took the elevator up and quickly reached the seventeenth floor.

Yuanxi Auction Company was holding a job fair today. At first, everything went smoothly, and Lin Ruoxi managed to recruit a few promising candidates.

But after Gu Chen arrived, everything changed.

Gu Chen entered the conference room with several bodyguards. His men then rudely hauled out a man who was in the middle of his interview. The applicants waiting outside were terrified and cleared out in an instant.

”Gu Chen, I’ve told you several times, I’m married! There’s no chance for us! You’re seriously disrupting my company’s operations. Please leave, or I’m calling the police!”

”Ruoxi, I don’t believe you’d marry an ex-convict! Besides, even if you are married, I don’t care. No woman that I, Gu Chen, have set my sights on has ever escaped my grasp! Get that jailbird over here right now. I’ll have a ’nice chat’ with him. I’m sure he’ll know to back off when he sees what he’s up against.”

Cheng Yuan walked into the conference room just in time to hear this. A wave of fury instantly surged through him.

”Sorry, there’s nothing for us to talk about. You have three seconds to get out of my sight. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret you were ever born!”
