Chapter 504: Chapter 521 You Are Very Disappointed

Shen Jianguo was handsome and capable, popular among the women at the Research Institute, and given his good family background, he was indeed likable.

The key point was, the sister-in-law was really too beautiful, and she danced superbly. Which man wouldn’t be reluctant to look away? There were just too many options! The more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt.

Amitabha, hopefully the sister-in-law wouldn’t be bewitched by the appearances of some people. Um… To put it bluntly, just don’t be blind.

Such a good man as the Captain, even with a lantern, one couldn’t find another! He was a man; he’d marry him if he were a woman.

“What are you up to?” A serious voice came from behind.

Li Duoxi was startled, having been approached so silently was a real embarrassment for their War Wolf Rescue Team.

“Captain, you’re back?” Li Duoxi touched his head and put on a smile, “How are you feeling? Want me to join you for a couple of drinks?”

“I’ll be heading back after the speech tomorrow. Better not drink!” Xu Qigang frowned in response.

“Alright, alright…” Huh! The Captain seems to be in a good mood? Why has it gone from stormy to sunny after just one outing?

“Captain, the sister-in-law… did she… did she look for you?”

“She did!” Thinking of Xiao Ning, a rare softness flashed across Xu Qigang’s cool and indifferent face.

“What did the sister-in-law say?”

“She didn’t say anything!” He had no interest in discussing his marital matters with others.

“Really? She didn’t bring up breaking up?” Li Duoxi’s courage grew with his questions, voicing his inner worries.

“My wife hasn’t broken up with me. You seem quite disappointed?” Xu Qigang asked darkly.

“Ah? No… really not…” Li Duoxi panicked, waving his hands and quickly stepping back. This was it! He was truly done for. A dragon has its weak spot, and the sister-in-law was the Captain’s weak spot!

What had he done to be so suicidal as to blurt out what was on his mind?

“Captain, you have to believe me, I really mean well!”

“So now you’re wondering, what should I do after being dumped? Should I thank you for your precaution?”

“No need to thank! No need to thank, heh heh heh…”

“Li Duoxi, you’re asking for a beating!”

“Captain, it’s late; I’m going to go to sleep!” Having said that, he slipped away as if on greased heels.

Xu Qigang shook his head with a chuckle, sparing him this time for Xiao Ning’s sake.

The next day was the last day of the Research Institute’s consolation performance. It was also the most important, as it was said that several esteemed old leaders from the General Union would make a personal appearance.

These old leaders were almost national treasures. Many famous television dramas that had swept through Dajiang were adaptations of their true stories.

Being able to see the old heroes had everyone in the Song and Dance Troupe extremely excited after breakfast.

“Assembly!” At the call, everyone quickly formed up in lines.

Just when Yang Wenying arrived, everyone was lined up.

“Attention! At ease!”

Yang Wenying nodded in satisfaction at everyone, “You all performed very well yesterday!”

“Thank you, Chief!”

“It’s all thanks to Teacher Qiu Bai!”

“Mm!” Yang Wenying nodded, “Modest and composed, it seems everyone has grown a lot. I hope in the future you will continue to strive for excellence. I wish to see you all shine and heat up the stage at the Spring Festival joint performance.”

“Don’t worry, Chief! We are confident.” The voices rang out in unison, soaring to the skies.
