Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1098: Enough, Stop Fooling Around

A certain deputy saw the situation wasn’t going well and, at a critical moment, stepped forward to defuse the tension, looking as if he was making a noble sacrifice, saying, ”Uh... there must be a mistake, I’m the new arrival here...”

His implication was quite clear: Am I really so unwelcome by you guys? Did you ask the wrong person?

The people who had been chattering and asking all kinds of questions instantly paused, realizing that, indeed, they were neglecting the out-of-town deputy.

To think about it, they were originally here to welcome him, so how did the conversation end up shifting focus? This deputy was completely overlooked by them.

Yan Lishan, also holding a deputy role, couldn’t help but raise his thumb, appreciating how other deputies seemed to cover all angles seamlessly.

Protecting on all fronts indeed, rushing forward the moment the officer is in trouble without hesitation.

In this respect, he truly admired the deputy and felt it was worth learning from him.

The deputy was unaware that his casual move had earned praise and approval from the crowd.

This could be considered a lucky hit, right?

Qiao Chenyi coughed lightly, saying, ”Alright, stop fooling around. We sincerely welcome the deputy’s arrival to fight alongside all of us!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present gave a warm round of applause. The comrades from the Specialty Pavilion Academy, regardless of familiarity, treated each other like close brothers. The deputy had shielded Li Yan and his wife from difficulties, and at that moment, his heart calmed.

Qiao Chenyi couldn’t help but admire Devil King for training his deputies so well. He then took the opportunity to get back on topic, saying, ”Even though today is the welcome meeting for the deputy, the ’Homecoming’ task hasn’t concluded yet. We still need to continue the investigation. It’s a challenging task, and everyone must follow through without a hint of complacency.”

In the Specialty Pavilion Academy, most of the time was spent in busyness, with leisure being rare.

Even during rare breaks, time needed to be managed.

Thinking of this.

Qiao Chenyi felt a little embarrassed and said to the deputy, ”You’ve just arrived in Shoucheng, and after the tiring journey, I haven’t even given you a moment to catch your breath. I’m really sorry.”

The deputy quickly waved his hand, saying, ”Genius Qiao, you’re too polite. You’re just like my Devil King, both Student Kings; I’ve seen Devil King’s busy schedule for more than just a few days. So you don’t need to be polite either. Just assign the tasks directly. Don’t forget, I’m also a specialty trainee.”

His words were bold and filled with the fearless spirit of specialty trainees.

His declaration immediately gained him favor from the crowd.

Everyone was specialty trainees, naturally resonating with the deputy’s comments. Being part of the Specialty Pavilion Academy, many things were commonplace, so they didn’t fuss over minor welcoming rituals.

Yan Lishan affectionately hooked his arm around the deputy’s neck, saying, ”Brother Qiao, I like this guy, hahahaha!”

Perhaps this was the rumored appeal of deputies. Yan Lishan felt highly affirmed by the deputy’s words, even thinking he was particularly charming.

Qiao Chenyi chuckled helplessly, graciously saying, ”I also like this guy.”

Two grown men exchanging words of affection left the new deputy feeling a bit dumbfounded. He dazedly glanced at his Devil King, fearing they might recruit him away, quickly saying, ”Uh... I’m Devil King’s...”

”Pfft, hahahaha...”

The deputy’s clueless comment incited rounds of laughter.

Yan Lishan reacted the most exaggeratedly, almost crying from laughter, saying, ”Devil King, your deputy is loyal to death, hahahaha...”

Li Yan pursed his lips, remaining silent.

Gu Tong was the first to respond, saying, ”That’s right, yesterday my Devil King even said that the deputy is his original mate.”

”Pfft, hahahaha...” Once the words were spoken, laughter continued endlessly.

Qiao Chenyi couldn’t help but think, had he known, he would have transferred the deputy sooner. Not only did he bring laughter to the academy, but more importantly, he relieved the long-term tension among his trainees. What a treasure he was.
