Zhao Hai's First Day on the Job

This one...

seemed a little hard to approach.

And who exactly was he? No one had ever seen him before.

The Minister of the Logistics Department—if they were talking about actual authority, his power might even surpass that of their city lords. He was essentially the chief steward of the entire Heaven Group.

And they were just handing that position over to a stranger?

For a moment, the entire conference room fell into absolute silence, the atmosphere somewhat strange.

Even Li Xinghe was a little stunned.

What was this guy doing?

According to the usual procedure, shouldn't he be giving an introduction right about now?

Why had this guy just sat down?

"Ahem, this is... Zhao Hai."

"You can just call him Minister Zhao from now on."

In the end, Li Xinghe cleared his throat a few more times and took the initiative to introduce him.

Everyone instinctively wanted to nod and smile, offering a double gesture of goodwill.

But...

Zhao Hai seemed to be pondering something. He kept staring at the enormous conference table, as though he had not heard a word Li Xinghe said.

As a result... their friendly expressions had gone to waste.

"Minister Zhao?"

"Minister Zhao?"

"Zhao Hai!!!"

Li Xinghe called out patiently twice. Finally, he took a deep breath and slammed his hand down on the table.

Zhao Hai seemed to snap back to his senses. Frowning slightly, he looked displeased. He had been working through a line of a plan and had just reached a critical point when he was abruptly interrupted. He could not help saying, "Stop making noise. Be quiet!"

After saying that, Zhao Hai fell silent again.

Li Xinghe's hand remained where it had landed on the conference table.

Pulling it back felt wrong, but leaving it there felt wrong too.
