Chapter 386: I Will For Sure Complete the Task Handed to Me By the Higher Up! (Part One)
Hearing such a bad att.i.tude, Li Menglong was immediately angered too. After all, he was the mayor of Yanjing!
“Are you r.e.t.a.r.ded?!” Then, he hung up the phone.
Ye Rong was dumbfounded as well.
But, with Xu Cheng watching on the side, he knew it would be super embarra.s.sing if Xu Cheng knew the guy hung up on him.
So, he pretended to be still talking on the phone, looking serious.
Ye Xiu reminded him, “Grandpa, we all heard it… That guy already hung up. I should just go straight to his house, how dare he hang up my grandpa’s call? Does he not know it’s his blessing to be called directly by you? This Li Menglong is really courting death!”
Then, he got up and rolled his sleeves, ready to go.
The old man relaxingly laid back and said, “That’s why I think you young people still have a long way to go. What’s the rush? What’s called wisdom? Why is this Li Menglong still just a mayor right now? He’s just not smart enough.”
Xu Cheng ridiculed the old man and said, “Look, you wanted to stay as a silent and unknown hero, but other people don’t even remember who you are. Is it really worth it?”
Ye Rong laughed and glanced at Xu Cheng. “Little Brat, don’t tempt me. Do you believe it or not that Li Menglong would call back right away? If he doesn’t, I will hang myself on this tree in front of you!”
Ye Xiu: “Please don’t, Grandpa, who doesn’t know how heroic you were back then! I will go and tell that Li Menglong who the big hero Ye Rong is!”
The old man was very stubborn. He patted his chest confidently and said, “Not necessary.”
Right after he said that, Ye Xiu’s phone began to ring.
The old man leaned against the chair arrogantly with his eyes closed as he snorted, “He’s calling back?”
Ye Xiu nodded.
The old man snorted again, “Humph! Don’t pick up!”
Xu Cheng was getting nervous. “If you don’t, then my people are gonna be in trouble! Don’t make me break all your treasured alcohol bottles!”
“Little brat, you dare?!” Ye Rong glared at him. Then, he nonchalantly said, “Pick it up, put him on speaker.”
Ye Xiu accepted the call and turned on the speaker.
Before Ye Rong said anything, Li Menglong on the end was already nosing deep into Ye Rong’s azz, his voice so soft that it was giving people gooseb.u.mps. “Sir, Menglong’s brain so getting worse and worse every day, I didn’t even recognize your voice. Sir, I should really go die.”
Pa! A loud sound came from the other end of the call as Li Menglong gave himself a slap in the face and said, “I deserve that slap to my face!”
The old man snorted. “Menglong, since your memory’s not doing as well these years, should I offload some burden from your shoulders? Maybe it’s time to retire and go back to your home to relax and enjoy life?”
On the other end, the guy was on the verge of crying. “Sir, it was my fault! I really didn’t know you would call me… Look, didn’t I realize my mistakes right away and called you back to express my sincere apology? Sir, it was really my fault this time and I won’t do it again!”
Ye Rong snorted. “Menglong… your level of enlightenment is really not high.”
Li Menglong: “Yes, yes, yes! You are right, Sir, I’ve always been humbly and sincerely doing my job, and I indeed need to work harder to reach a higher level of enlightenment. If I were to retire right now, I would really feel sorry for all the years of effort the country has put in to help improve my abilities. I’m willing to give the rest of my years up all for the nation, I’m not afraid of hard work, Sir!”
Ye Rong snorted again. “I’m not talking about your level of enlightenment at work.”
Uh…
Li Menglong’s heart skipped a beat. “Sir, what order do you have, just let me know!”
“Li Hui’s your son, right?” Ye Rong asked.
“Yes! It’s my third son!”
