Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Lu Feng Throws a Tantrum
Fu Xiaoxiao swallowed, feeling tonight... her little life might be over.
She might not see tomorrow’s sun and would sleep through another day.
"Why did you come back so early?" Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at her watch, trying to change the subject.
"Today I took a stroll around the army and stirred the pot, so I slipped away quickly." Lu Feng smirked, having diligently ’fulfilled’ his duty at the army today.
Isn’t it just to make him sit on the sidelines?
He absolutely refuses.
No one said Mr. Lu has to sit in the office, right?
He sought out someone for a spar, quite reasonable, right?
"What did you do?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng’s smile and asked with a smile.
This guy must have done something big, his aggrieved look from yesterday was completely gone.
"Mr. Lu! Finally found you, hurry! Come back with me! Everyone is waiting for you!" Wang Zhijun rushed in, sweating, relieved to see Lu Feng at home, and tried to drag him away.
"Back? Back where? Tell them, I’m voluntarily applying to transfer elsewhere, so I won’t hold them up." Lu Feng saw Wang Zhijun, and the smile vanished from his face, wearing a cold, ’don’t-come-close’ expression.
Fu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, silently standing aside without speaking.
"Please, come back with me! There’s a bunch of files waiting for you to process!" Wang Zhijun couldn’t persuade Lu Feng, so he looked at Fu Xiaoxiao for help.
"Madam, please help persuade Mr. Lu to come back with me." Wang Zhijun pleaded.
"Well, I don’t understand military matters, I can’t persuade him!" Fu Xiaoxiao shrank like a quail, indicating she couldn’t help.
Meanwhile, the tactical command room was lively under the fluorescent light, casting a bluish glow over the contour lines on the sand table.
The original layout on the sand table was completely overturned, and the new arrangement made everyone furrow their brows.
"Who did this?" The commander looked at the tampered sand table, his voice icily stern.
"Reporting, it seems the newcomer Mr. Lu did it." A soldier answered softly.
"Where is he? Have him come see me immediately!" The commander ordered with a stern face.
"Just saw Mr. Lu leave, he’s gone back to the family quarters." Another soldier replied quietly, not daring to meet his gaze.
Those who could understand the layout remained silent, keeping their mouths shut.
They intended to use this matter to drive Lu Feng away, but upon seeing the sand table, they quietly backed off.
"Report, this is the application Mr. Lu left upon departure!" A small committee member holding an application walked over.
"He’s thinking of leaving? Nonsense!" The commander’s face changed dramatically upon seeing Lu Feng’s application. "With such talent, why would he want to leave?"
"Go get him back for me immediately!" The commander thundered.
Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to speak.
A few looked at the sand table and whispered.
"Weren’t we told he was just a decoration? This doesn’t look like something a decoration would design."
"How would I know? Heard he came from a small place and got transferred here through connections; who knew he actually had this capability!"
"Stop it! If I had known, I would’ve fought to sit on his cold pedestal!"
"What now? He stirred up big trouble, we’re going to suffer."
"..."
A few exchanged glances, realizing they shouldn’t have targeted him.
Now it seems they brought trouble upon themselves.
"Report, Mr. Lu said he needs to prepare things." He... won’t come over.
The soldier didn’t dare finish his sentence, fearing to anger others.
No persuasion could bring him back; he was determined to leave.
"What on earth happened! Why is he seeking to transfer just after arriving!" The commander frowned, indicating that something fishy was going on, causing Lu Feng to apply for a transfer right after his arrival.
No one dared respond, no one dared admit they had done anything.
"Speak!" The commander slapped the table, causing everyone to tremble thrice.
"We all assumed he was an incompetent placeholder, so we had him sit on the sidelines for a day." Someone slowly began to speak.
"...Am I foolish or are you? Someone without skills could be transferred here?" The commander chuckled angrily.
"But he was transferred through connections..." Another couldn’t help but say.
"Did you listen to the end of the rumors? Those with connections went to Hai City; I specifically brought this one to Beijing!" The commander chuckled angrily again, he’d been busy for one day and they drove away the talent he wanted?
"..." Everyone lowered their heads, now realizing they’d made the biggest mistake.
Listening only halfway, not completely.
"If he doesn’t come back, you all don’t need to come back either." The commander coldly said, turning and leaving the command room.
Leaving some looking at each other.
"Go apologize quickly! Losing the talent the leader wants, we all won’t escape unscathed!"
Sighing collectively, they all moved towards the family quarters.
No matter how Wang Zhijun persuaded, Lu Feng refused to go back. Seeing it was almost meal time, Fu Xiaoxiao simply went to the kitchen to cook.
Though she didn’t know what Lu Feng did, it must be something unusual.
The aroma of Fu Xiaoxiao’s cooking began to waft out from the kitchen, Wang Zhijun resisted his hunger pangs, continuing to persuade Lu Feng.
"Mr. Lu, please come back with me!" Wang Zhijun smelled the fragrant food, feeling his resolve weakening.
"Hungry, can’t walk." Lu Feng sat in the courtyard, speaking indifferently.
As Fu Xiaoxiao brought out four dishes and a soup, suddenly four or five people poured in at the door.
"Oh! Smells so good! Lady, you really have great cooking skills! Lu Feng, you are truly blessed!" The first arrival praised Fu Xiaoxiao before flattering Lu Feng.
Lu Feng sneered, "Yes, she’s really suffered following me."
"Comrade Lu Feng, I think there’s a misunderstanding between us. Earlier, it was us in the wrong, neglecting you..." Another person stepped in to say.
Lu Feng shook his head, "There’s no misunderstanding. I know you look down on someone like me from a small place, and I don’t want to be a nuisance. I’ve already applied for a transfer, I believe it will soon be approved."
"Then you won’t have to worry about me anymore." Lu Feng’s words felt like a slap in the face to those people.
If they hadn’t targeted him, Lu Feng wouldn’t have applied for a transfer.
However, they had mistaken the person, and really couldn’t be blamed.
"Comrade Lu Feng, those past incidents were misunderstandings, we mistook you for a decoration, your capability is now apparent to us; it’s too unfortunate for you to give up now..."
Seeing Lu Feng’s attitude, they all grew anxious.
"There’s nothing to give up. I can work hard equally elsewhere, starting over." Lu Feng scoffed, not afraid of sitting on a cold bench.
"Comrade Lu Feng, we misjudged you. We admit our mistake, you truly don’t need to cause a transfer..."
Those who orchestrated to keep Lu Feng on the sidelines now deeply understood he couldn’t be swayed by soft or hard tactics.
"It might be a little late to say that now." Lu Feng said indifferently, "I’ve already submitted my application..."
"The application has been rejected." At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
