Chapter 841: Wu Chengyue Leaves
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wu Chengyue sounded full of jealousy, and he himself could feel it too. That was inappropriate indeed, but he couldn’t help it.
“You’re really annoying,” Lin Qiao clicked her tongue and said impatiently, “If you’re staying here only to say that, please leave. I have no time and mood for that.”
She was trying to use Lin Hao to make Wu Chengyue give up. That did work, but not very well. She sighed silently, as she had no idea what Wu Chengyue was thinking.
Wu Chengyue gave her a meaningful glance, then stood up and walked out of the office. As he left, Lin Qiao asked Shen Yujen to bring Qiu Lili and Yun Meng to her office.
“You two, make a trip to this place and see if there’s a metal-powered vine at level-seven. If you do find it, bring me its nucleus,” Lin Qiao pointed out the address that Lin Wenwen gave on a map. The location was also written down in detail.
She was going to look for the metal vine herself. However, as Viney wasn’t in a stable condition at the moment, she gave up on that idea and asked Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, and some others to go instead.
One zombie dominator could not defeat a level-seven mutated plant. Killing the metal vine might take two zombie dominators. Therefore, Lin Qiao sent Qiu Lili and Yun Meng.
Qiu Lili and Yun Meng looked at Lin Qiao confusedly. Earlier, they were separated to lead two squads when Lin Qiao sent them out to collect energy nuclei. It was the first time she sent both of them somewhere together.
However, they didn’t say anything but nodded as they took over the map and left. They took five zombie kings and queens, leaving the base for the location that Lin Qiao gave them.
Soon, Lin Qiao heard that Wu Chengyue and his people had left All Beings Base.
“He left? For real?” Lin Qiao asked Xie Dong, who brought her the news, with surprise.
Xie Dong nodded and responded with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Yes.”
Lin Qiao erased that surprised look on her face, then nodded and said, “Good! I wonder who was asking to talk to me about dividing the hunting field.”
“I guess Sea City Base will send someone else to talk about that in a couple of days,” said Xie Dong.
“Em, I get it. You can leave now,” Lin Qiao nodded blandly.
Did the show that she put up together with Lin Hao work?
While Lin Qiao was pondering upon Wu Chengyue’s sudden departure, Xie Dong turned and walked to the door. As he prepared to open the door, the door was suddenly opened from the other side, quickly and heavily.
Thud! After that noise, Xie Dong expressionlessly covered his forehead with one hand, the other hand pus.h.i.+ng the door.
“Oh! Xie Dong? I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Are you okay?” Liu Jun didn’t mean to hit Xie Dong on the head, so she asked the latter with concern.
“It’s okay!” Xie Dong shook his head without expression, then dropped his head, also conveniently pulling the door to let Liu Jun in.
He was a zombie, and not a human. How could a door possibly hurt him?
“I’m sorry! I didn’t know that you were behind the door!” Liu Jun did feel guilty. Even though they had both become zombies, her politeness remained. So, she apologized to Xie Dong again.
“It’s okay. Come in!” Xie Dong shook his head again. That was just a small thing that could happen between colleagues. He was a man, and she was woman. He, of course, wouldn’t blame her for that.
Xie Dong waved at her to signal for her to come in, then walked out of the office.
“Why are you here? What happened?” Lin Qiao watched the small accident that happened between them, then asked Liu Jun when the latter walked up to her desk.
“Tianyi and I have run a discussion. We want to build a few houses on the farm, so our people can live there to guard it. The base is having more and more residents. We are worried that some people might go to the farm and cause trouble in the future. This is the application, and we need your signature,” Liu Jun sat down on the chair before Lin Qiao’s desk, then handed her the file.
Each farm had dormitories for the people who worked there. That was a normal request. Mount Wu was over ten miles away from the main base. Lin Qiao had planned to build dorms over there, but she was too busy to start doing that lately.
“Emm… yeah, we do need to build some dorms near the farm. You guys will have more work to do, and will need more people to help,” Lin Qiao nodded as she quickly browsed the file, then signed her name and stamped it. After that, she handed the file back to Liu Jun. All Liu Jun had to do was to hand the file to Yuan Tianxing, and the latter would make arrangements for the construction work.
Taking over the file that Lin Qiao pushed back to her, Liu Jun didn’t leave immediately. She held the file with both hands and looked at Lin Qiao, seemingly wanting to say something.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qiao noticed the strange look in her eyes.
Liu Jun was currently Lin Qiao’s subordinate. But in fact, she had known her for long, and could be counted as a half a good friend. After all, she was one of those who knew about Lin Qiao’s real ident.i.ty.
“Did Wu Chengyue buy what you and Lin Hao were doing?” Liu Jun asked curiously.
Once Wu Chengyue left, most of the people in the base had heard about it. The ones like Liu Jun, who had people under their commands, were all well-informed.
Judging by the tense atmosphere that had been existing between Wu Chengyue and Lin Hao during the past few days, Liu Jun and the others all understood what was going on. The people who didn’t know about Lin Qiao’s relations.h.i.+p with Lin Hao thought that the young and handsome Doctor Lin had fallen in love with the pretty Chief Lady, and believed that there was a battle going on between him and Chief Wu from Sea City Base, who was also a suitor of their Chief.
The ones who knew about Lin Qiao’s real ident.i.ty all guessed that Lin Qiao was trying to use her brother to make Wu Chengyue give up.
That was also the truth. During the past few days, people noticed that the smiling Chief Wu no longer smiled all day. They often saw him expressionless. He didn’t look very angry, but he was clearly not happy.
Lin Qiao glanced at her and suddenly realized that work was not her main purpose here. She was mainly here to gossip.
“I hope he did. I want him to give up,” said Lin Qiao blandly.
“Oi, seriously, Chief Wu is nice, isn’t he? He’s handsome, mild, strong, capable, and he has a good body. His daughter is lovely, and that little girl likes you so much. I think he really likes you now. Won’t you regret this?” Liu Jun looked at her and said.
Liu Jun had been observing Wu Chengyue for long and found that he was actually not bad. He was leading a base at such a young age, and was invincibly strong, also having a good personality and moral quality.
She heard that his daughter wasn’t his biological daughter, and that he was unmarried!
The point was, he and Lin Qiao were a perfect match for each other! Also, he was three years younger than Lin Qiao’s real age!
