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 wouldnât 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 wouldnât be bewitched by the appearances of some people. Um⊠To put it bluntly, just donât be blind.
Such a good man as the Captain, even with a lantern, one couldnât find another! He was a man; heâd marry him if he were a woman.
âWhat are you up to?â 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.
âCaptain, youâre back?â Li Duoxi touched his head and put on a smile, âHow are you feeling? Want me to join you for a couple of drinks?â
âIâll be heading back after the speech tomorrow. Better not drink!â Xu Qigang frowned in response.
âAlright, alrightâŠâ Huh! The Captain seems to be in a good mood? Why has it gone from stormy to sunny after just one outing?
âCaptain, the sister-in-law⊠did she⊠did she look for you?â
âShe did!â Thinking of Xiao Ning, a rare softness flashed across Xu Qigangâs cool and indifferent face.
âWhat did the sister-in-law say?â
âShe didnât say anything!â He had no interest in discussing his marital matters with others.
âReally? She didnât bring up breaking up?â Li Duoxiâs courage grew with his questions, voicing his inner worries.
âMy wife hasnât broken up with me. You seem quite disappointed?â Xu Qigang asked darkly.
âAh? No⊠really notâŠâ 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 Captainâs weak spot!
What had he done to be so suicidal as to blurt out what was on his mind?
âCaptain, you have to believe me, I really mean well!â
âSo now youâre wondering, what should I do after being dumped? Should I thank you for your precaution?â
âNo need to thank! No need to thank, heh heh hehâŠâ
âLi Duoxi, youâre asking for a beating!â
âCaptain, itâs late; Iâm going to go to sleep!â 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 Ningâs sake.

The next day was the last day of the Research Instituteâs 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.
âAssembly!â At the call, everyone quickly formed up in lines.
Just when Yang Wenying arrived, everyone was lined up.
âAttention! At ease!â
Yang Wenying nodded in satisfaction at everyone, âYou all performed very well yesterday!â
âThank you, Chief!â
âItâs all thanks to Teacher Qiu Bai!â
âMm!â Yang Wenying nodded, âModest 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.â
âDonât worry, Chief! We are confident.â The voices rang out in unison, soaring to the skies.
