"Brother Fei, let me tell you, in that place, we made quite a name for ourselves! We struck down enemies, quelled internal strife, and on the battlefield, I was invincible!"
Zhao Xin said proudly, shaking his head.
Liu Chuang, standing beside him, chimed in, "That's right! I'd charge at the enemy with my shield up. Everyone in the base called me a fierce general!"
"Oh, you two are quite something."
Han Fei teased with a smile.
In fact, they truly were quite something.
During their time in that chaotic land, the two had completely transformed.
Furthermore, they had unlocked other potentials.
Take Zhao Xin, for instance.
Despite his unreliable nature, he possessed a certain military talent. After his promotion, he had led his troops on detours multiple times to break through enemy lines, returning safely with no casualties.
Even when suppressing internal rebellions, he had started to employ strategy.
His only flaw was charging too far ahead.
The captain there had reported this to him.
As for Liu Chuang.
He truly lived up to the name "fierce."
According to statistics from that place, he always had the highest number of enemy kills and possessed a certain grasp of the overall situation.
He had even briefly negotiated with local warlords and, surprisingly, succeeded.
This was also reported back.
It could be said.
Both of them had performed differently from their original counterparts.
They had displayed more of their inherent potential, not just relying on the Super Gene.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Zhao Xin's Joke
Perhaps it was this unusual experience that honed their unique traits.
Regardless.
Their performance had pleasantly surprised Han Fei.
This wasn't just due to emotional reasons.
There were also some personal considerations involved.
In the future, during the great war against aliens, having such super generals under his command, not just ordinary soldiers, would be a good thing.
In Han Fei's mind.
He had no intention of training them as mere soldiers.
At the very least, they would be generals.
Generals with broad vision, capable of handling matters independently.
And even further.
His ambitions were even greater.
When it came to future interstellar colonization...
This was a long-term investment.
But judging by the current results, it wasn't a loss.
Moreover, it was beneficial for everyone. They could improve themselves, and he would receive assistance.
A win-win!
Han Fei's thoughts raced.
Looking at the two still boasting, the smile on his face widened.
"Alright, alright, try Auntie Li's cooking."
At this mention, the two immediately shifted their attention.
As frequent guests for meals, they knew Auntie Li's cooking was exceptionally delicious.
While they certainly didn't lack nutrition at the base, the food wasn't that great. Now that they were back, they had to have a good meal, right?
It was better not to mention it, but now that it was brought up, their mouths started watering!
"Haha, coming, coming! Everyone dig in!"
Auntie Li brought out the last dish, said with a smile, and then left.
On the table.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Phoenix Attracting Phoenix, Glazed Meatballs, Three Sets of Duck, Steamed Beef, Husband and Wife Lung Slices, Secret Recipe Braised Pork Knuckles, Huayang Roasted Pork Knuckles, Steamed Honey Three Slices, Lantern Shadow Beef, Clear Stewed Crab Roe Lion's Head, Emerald Shrimp Rings, Dried Shrimp Pearl Bamboo Shoots, Arhat Cake, Money Crisp, Suzhou Soup Dumplings, and finally Dragon and Phoenix Soup and Shanyang Osmanthus Cake.
It could be said to be the ultimate delicacy.
And it was all packed full, with generous portions.
Without further ado.
The three began their gluttonous journey.
None of the three were ordinary people. This food could fill the stomachs of over a dozen people, but for them, it only filled them to about seventy percent.
"Slurp."
"Delicious. Ever since I went to that place, I haven't eaten anything like this."
"But that place really toughens people up. I no longer take pride in my ancestor being Zhao Yun."
"I myself will be Zhao Yun from now on!"
Eating the osmanthus cake, Zhao Xin couldn't help but start bragging again.
"Oh, him, the White Horse Silver Spear. You? Black clothes, black spear, thrusting whenever you see an enemy? Will you say 'I am Chrysanthemum Xin' when we meet?"
Liu Chuang, on the side, silently dismantled his bragging.
Han Fei just listened.
He occasionally joined in, chatting about their respective experiences, such as which company he had cracked down on or how many assassination attempts he had survived.
Just then.
"Dong dong."
A crisp knock on the door.
At the open doorway, Hexi, dressed in a black silk OL secretary outfit, stood gracefully. She held a document in her hand and nodded slightly at the three looking her way.
Then she looked at Han Fei, "Chairman, this is today's work report. It's a bit urgent and requires your approval."
???
Zhao Xin swallowed and looked at the beautiful woman at the door, then at Han Fei, and then exchanged a bewildered glance with Liu Chuang.
Han Fei frowned.
He didn't like being disturbed.
But if it was so urgent, why hadn't Black Star told him?
Filled with doubt, Han Fei let Hexi in and took the report.
He flipped through the document while introducing her to the two.
"This is Secretary He. I hired her recently. After all, working alone is too busy, and I need someone to help. This lady has very high professional standards and has helped me a lot."
"These are Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang, my buddies."
Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang greeted Hexi a little awkwardly.
Hexi responded with a polite smile.
Meanwhile, Han Fei's frown gradually eased.
These weren't actually very urgent matters; they were all related to cooperation.
The reason Black Star hadn't said anything was because he had previously told Black Star not to disturb him.
Hexi, after not receiving a response, then...
Wait.
If Black Star didn't respond, he shouldn't have failed to explain that he was busy.
Han Fei glanced thoughtfully at Hexi, who was making awkward small talk with the other two.
He shook his head speechlessly.
"Alright, I'll handle these matters later."
Hexi calmly acknowledged and then left.
After she left, Zhao Xin suddenly pounced over.
The two looked at Han Fei with gossipy eyes, full of pity.
The implication was obvious.
Such a beautiful woman.
You finally broke your vow?
But Han Fei had no intention of taking the bait. He turned his head and directly changed the subject.
"I heard you had some... romantic encounters over there, Zhao Xin?"
As soon as he said that, Zhao Xin's face turned red. Combined with his beard, he could have claimed his ancestor was Guan Erye.
Liu Chuang's expression turned odd, as if he were suppressing a laugh.
Seeing their reactions, Han Fei was a bit taken aback.
"What's going on?"
"N-nothing, it's just that those women were smitten by my armor, that's all. Nothing much," Zhao Xin said, tilting his head up.
"Hahahahahaha~"
Liu Chuang finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"Nonsense! He was almost set up! They saw he was a virgin and laid a trap for him, but this guy thought they were his admirers.
He was lured to a place, realized what was going on, and then, without doing anything, he stammered out an attempt to persuade them to turn over a new leaf. They immediately called in a few big guys, and you know what Zhao Xin said at the time? He actually said it wouldn't be good with so many people! Hahahaha!"
Liu Chuang was laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
"After saying that, this guy finally realized what was happening. It made Zhao Xin so angry, he arrested those guys. But, while the problem was solved, he forgot to make them keep quiet. Then, someone in there spread the story, and it got more and more exaggerated, like 'X man, X woman,' or 'one night xxx.' But in reality, he didn't do anything, yet he got branded a scumbag! Hahahaha!!"
Liu Chuang was laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Han Fei's lips curved upwards uncontrollably.
"Pfft."
Zhao Xin froze on the spot, unmoving.
His entire face turned ashen.
He was utterly mortified.
A moment later.
"Liu Chuang!! Ren Tou Gou!!!!"
A great battle was inevitable.
