"Brother Fei, let me tell you, in that place, we made a name for ourselves. We struck down enemies, suppressed internal strife, and on the battlefield, we were invincible!"
Zhao Xin said proudly, shaking his head.
Liu Chuang, standing beside him, chimed in, "That's right! I'd charge forward with my shield up, and everyone in the base called me a fierce general!"
"Oh ho, you two are quite something."
Han Fei teased with a smile.
In fact, they really were quite something.
During their time in that chaotic land, the two had completely transformed.
Furthermore, they had unlocked other potential.
Take Zhao Xin, for example.
Despite his unreliable nature.
He actually possessed considerable military talent. After his promotion, he led his team on detours multiple times to defeat the enemy, and they always returned safely without casualties.
Even when suppressing internal rebellions, he had learned to employ strategy.
His only drawback was charging too far ahead.
The captain there had reported this to him.
And Liu Chuang.
He truly lived up to the name "fierce."
According to statistics from that area, he always had the highest number of kills, and he possessed a certain grasp of the overall situation.
He had even briefly negotiated with a local warlord and actually succeeded.
This was also reported back.
It could be said.
Both of them had performed differently from their original selves.
They had displayed more of their inherent potential, not just relying on their super-genes.
Chapter 32: Zhao Xin's Joke
Perhaps it was this extraordinary experience that honed their unique traits.
Regardless.
Their performance brought Han Fei a pleasant surprise.
It wasn't just because of their camaraderie.
There were also some personal considerations involved.
In the future, during the great war against the aliens, having such super-generals at his disposal, not just as simple soldiers, would be a good thing.
In Han Fei's mind.
He had no intention of training them as mere soldiers forever.
At the very least, they would be generals.
Generals with broad vision, capable of acting independently.
And even more.
His ambitions were even greater.
For future interstellar colonization...
This was a long-term investment.
But as of now, it seemed worthwhile.
Moreover, it was beneficial for everyone. They could improve themselves, and he would receive their assistance.
A win-win!
Han Fei's thoughts raced.
Looking at the two still boasting, the smile on his face widened.
"Alright, alright, try Aunt Li's cooking."
At this mention.
The two immediately shifted their attention.
As frequent guests for meals, they naturally knew how delicious Aunt Li's cooking was.
Although they never lacked nutrition in the base, the food wasn't exactly gourmet. Now that they were back, shouldn't they have a good meal?
Just thinking about it made their mouths water!
"Haha, coming, coming! Everyone enjoy the meal."
Aunt Li brought the last dish to the table, said with a chuckle, and then left.
On the table.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Phoenix Facing Phoenix, Glazed Meatballs, Three-Piece Duck, Steamed Beef, Husband and Wife Lung Slices, Secret Sauce Pig Trotters, Huayang Roasted Pork Hock, Steamed Honeyed Three Knives, Lantern Shadow Beef, Steamed Crab Roe Lion's Head, Jade 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 all of it was piled high, with generous portions.
Without further ado.
The three began their gluttonous journey.
None of them were ordinary people. This food could fill the stomachs of over a dozen people, but for them, they had only eaten to about seventy percent capacity.
"Slurp."
"Delicious. Ever since I went to that place, I haven't eaten anything like this."
"But that place really toughens you up. I'm no longer proud that my ancestor was 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, they say White Horse Silver Spear, but you? Black Clothes Black Spear, stabbing the enemy on sight? Will you greet people with 'I am Chrysanthemum Xin' from now on?"
Liu Chuang, sitting beside him, dismantled his boasting speech speechlessly.
Han Fei just listened.
Occasionally, he would join in, chatting about their respective experiences, like which company he had taken down recently or how many assassination attempts he had survived.
Just then.
"Knock knock."
A crisp knock sounded at the door.
At the open doorway stood Hexi, dressed in a black silk OL secretary outfit, holding a document. She looked at the three men and nodded slightly.
Then she turned to Han Fei, "Chairman, this is today's work report. It's a bit urgent and requires your approval."
???
Zhao Xin swallowed hard, glanced at the beautiful woman at the door, then at Han Fei, and then exchanged bewildered glances with Liu Chuang.
Han Fei frowned.
He didn't like being interrupted.
But if it was so urgent, why hadn't Black Star told him?
With a hint of suspicion, Han Fei signaled Hexi to come in and took the report.
He flipped through the document while introducing her to the other two.
"This is Secretary He. I hired her recently. It's too much for one person to handle all the work, so I needed some help. She's very professional and has been a great help."
"These are Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang, my buddies."
Zhao Xin and Liu Chuang greeted Hexi a bit awkwardly.
Hexi responded with a polite smile.
Meanwhile, Han Fei's frown gradually eased.
These weren't actually very urgent matters, mostly related to cooperation agreements.
Black Star hadn't mentioned them because Han Fei had previously told him not to disturb him.
Hexi had only come after receiving no response.
Wait.
Even if Black Star didn't respond, he should have at least explained that he was busy.
Han Fei glanced thoughtfully at Hexi, who was currently 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 immediately scurried over.
The two of them looked at Han Fei with gossip-filled eyes.
The implication was obvious.
Such a beautiful woman.
Had this kid finally broken his vow?
But Han Fei had no intention of taking the bait. He turned his head and changed the subject.
"I heard you had a bit of... romantic luck over there, Zhao Xin?"
As soon as he said that, Zhao Xin's face turned bright red. With his beard, he could have passed for a descendant of Guan Erye.
Liu Chuang next to him also had a strange expression on his face, as if he was holding back laughter.
Seeing their reactions, Han Fei was a little stunned.
"What's going on?"
"N-nothing, really. It's just that those women fell for Brother Xin's armor, that's all. Nothing much," Zhao Xin said, raising his head.
"Hahahahahaha~"
Liu Chuang finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"Nonsense! He almost got scammed! They saw he was a virgin and set a trap for him, but this guy thought they were his admirers.
He was lured to the spot and realized what was happening. He didn't do anything and stammered, trying to persuade them to go straight. They immediately called in a few big guys. Do you know what Zhao Xin said then? 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. Zhao Xin was so angry he arrested those guys. But, the problem was solved, yet he forgot to make them keep quiet. So, someone inside spread the story, and it got more and more outrageous. Things like 'x man, x woman,' or 'one night stand xxx.' But in reality, he didn't do anything and ended up with the reputation of a scumbag! Hahahaha!!"
Liu Chuang was already crying with laughter.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Han Fei's lips curved upwards uncontrollably.
"Pfft."
Zhao Xin froze completely, not moving an inch.
His face turned ashen.
He was utterly humiliated on the spot.
A moment later.
"Liu Chuang!! Head Dog!!!!"
A great battle was inevitable.
