Seeing that everyone had arrived, except for the two who had hurriedly retreated upon seeing Zoya, Zhang Hao explained the competition between the three of them to everyone.
Moscow doesn't believe in tears: planting potatoes? Why don't we let Old Deng go over and give it a go? I haven't seen Old Deng in the fields for ages.
Soviet Captain: You won't have dinner tonight, figure it out yourself. And don't cook for Xiao Hao either.
Moscow doesn't believe in tears: Damn it, old Deng, you actually led the way in settling personal scores, you... Ugh, I'm so angry!
Moscow doesn't believe in tears, so he left the room.
First Archer: I never thought she'd be in this situation. Xiao Hao, go tell Red Wolf that if he loses, he doesn't have to come back, so he won't lose face.
The number one genius girl in China: Xiao Hao and Wei Long said the same thing. If we don't encourage them, they probably won't take it seriously.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao looked up and saw that even before it started, the eyes of the three grown men were already blazing with fury.
The cutest white fluffy dumpling in the world: Um... I think it's unnecessary. I see that Brother Weilong and Uncle Red Wolf are both very motivated!
However, Zhang Hao still relayed Mai Xiaowen's original words to Weilong and Honglang in front of him.
"Xiao Hao, tell them not to worry. With me on the case, there's no victory we can't win!"
As he spoke, Wei Long struck an extremely exaggerated pose, which naturally caused Said and Red Wolf to quietly move away from him.
Those who saw this on their phones were completely silenced by Wei Long's actions.
Everyone: How embarrassing, I don't know him.
While Said saw that both Wei Long and Red Wolf had people cheering them on, he could only watch Zhang Hao longingly.
Zhang Hao: Go, Uncle Sayid!
Saeed: Oh?! I feel my power surging forth!
The group discussed it and decided to stop for too long, just half an hour, to see who could plant more and better plants.
After Zhang Hao shouted "The competition begins!", the group went into full "berserk mode".
Saeed: Victory is mine! This time I'm betting my two unopened English homework books! I can't lose!
Wei Long: Oh oh oh oh oh! I really need to show everyone my strength! You know, the soldiers of China are all-around warriors!
Red Wolf: Don't underestimate me! Although I've never grown this before, with my intelligence alone, growing vegetables is a piece of cake. Xiao Hao, just watch how your Uncle Red Wolf takes down these two guys!
As time went by, the three who were originally on the same level began to gradually diverge, and as for who was the slowest... it could only be our Red Wolf.
Red Wolf stared in disbelief at Wei Long, who was excitedly barking and Said, who had a serious expression (his face was completely obscured), for simply surpassing him. He stood there dumbfounded.
Red Wolf: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
Let me save one more. Add them to the room...
Let me save one more. Invite Duqiao to come find me and join the room...
Let me save one more: Hmm? Zoya should be gone by now. I just heard her leaving. Wow, this is so tense and exciting! Hehe, this is going to be so much fun.
Duqiao came to me: "The betting has started! Who do you think will win in the end? I bet on Said. That bastard Weilong poked my butt that time, I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
Let me save one more: I bet on Old Sai, this guy is basically top-notch except for his brain.
China's Number One Genius Girl: I will definitely support Wei Long unconditionally. This guy is really amazing. Look, the two of them are basically at the same level now.
The best archer: Wei Long, I believe in him.
The ultimate cool and awesome hunk: Wei Long.
Soviet Captain: Hmm... Based on my many years of experience, I think it should be Said.
Moscow doesn't believe in tears, so join the room...
Moscow doesn't believe in tears: What's going on? Can anyone explain?
They came to the bridge looking for me, asking me to save one more person. (Exit the room...)
Top Archer: Which of these two do you think will win?
Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears: Let me analyze this properly... Sayyid.
As everyone chatted enthusiastically, time flew by, but it seems that Wei Long and Said are still neck and neck, with their progress being almost identical.
As for Red Wolf... he's given up and gone to hide next to Zhang Hao to watch the drama unfold, though he's also been mercilessly mocked by everyone in the Special Operations Department.
Red Wolf: Oh no, is my status really going to be lower than Dragon's from now on?
With one minute left in the countdown, Zhang Hao gave the two a quick reminder and also cheered for Said and Weilong.
"Come on, Uncle Said! Brother Weilong! Only one minute left! Come on, come on!"
The two, whose speed had been gradually slowing down, suddenly seemed to have taken a stimulant, and their speed returned to its peak.
Wei Long/Said: Ah! Now I have a reason not to lose!
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the two fought fiercely until the very last second.
After stopping the two men, Zhang Hao went with Red Wolf to check on their situation.
Both of them were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, but Wei Long's face clearly showed a hint of dejection.
After Zhang Hao finished his examination, the final result was that Sayed won with two hard-fought goals.
Wei Long: Damn it, where is my bond power? Waaaaah, how could I possibly lose when I possess the bond power?
Sayed: You're strong, but for someone like me who has to memorize English after losing, you're still a little lacking.
Everyone: Wow, that was great! We loved it! Xiao Hao, please bring us more next time! ('▽`???)
Chapter 159 Video Call
Let's ignore the Secret Service staff who seem to be on vacation and turn our attention to the elderly aerospace worker who hasn't been seen in a long time.
She was sitting in front of the computer with a serious expression, talking to Richard on the phone.
“Mr. Richard, this is for the sake of a positive international image for our Hafk Group. If I were to choose to abandon those hostages, even with our excellent public relations skills, it would definitely damage our integrity and international influence.”
Just yesterday, Richard, Robert, and others also received intelligence that Demulan had actually put these journalists' lives before Mandel's bricks.
Robert immediately jumped out to criticize Desmulan's behavior and went to Richard, the old capitalist, to say he would impeach Desmulan, the security director who did not follow orders.
But Richard simply told the noisy Robert to shut up and get lost, and the usually boastful guy obediently shut his mouth.
Richard was quite patient with Demruyne. He knew that now that Demruyne had the "custom-made" brain-computer interface installed for her by the Hafk Group, she represented absolute loyalty to Hafk. In addition, before experiencing that explosion, Richard also greatly admired Demruyne.
In his eyes, Demulan was not like Robert, who only used family wealth to gain Hafk's position. She was someone who could bring more benefits to the Hafk Group. Moreover, unlike the scheming Rometheus, Demulan had already demonstrated her loyalty to Jacob at that time.
“I understand, but Demulan, this isn’t like you at all. Can you tell me what’s been going on lately?”
Richard understood why Demulan prioritized the lives of these journalists over Mandel's bricks, but he now had a feeling that Demulan, Hafk's "sharp knife," was starting to slip out of the control of the higher-ups, something that none of Hafk's leadership could accept.
"Hmm? Is there a problem, Mr. Richard? I think that even if Reis has now seized the Mandel Brick, it is of no use to him until he deciphers it. On the other hand, those journalists, after being rescued, can bring a lot of positive benefits to our Hafk Group internationally."
Although Demulan didn't know why Richard suddenly asked him such a question, he still answered "truthfully".
After listening to Demulan's explanation, Richard didn't find anything wrong. It seems that he's getting old and becoming more suspicious. After all, Demulan is still wearing the Relink brain-computer interface and taking his medication on time. It seems that his previous thoughts were completely unfounded.
"Well, you handled it quite well this time, but I hope that as our Hafk security director, you won't worry so much about these 'ordinary people' next time. You have to trust the public relations power of our Hafk Group. As for Robert, don't think too much about him. Just treat him like a barking dog. Don't take it to heart. If he dares to bark at you again, just tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Richard hung up the phone. The main purpose of the call was to confirm whether Demulan was still under their control, and the result proved that the brain-computer interface that Mr. Jacob had modified was indeed very good.
After hanging up the phone, Demulan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered for a while before calling Mary, who had been waiting at the door, in.
As soon as Mary entered, she looked at Desmoulins with a worried expression and asked:
“Ms. Desmulan, did Director Richard say anything about you? Robert there was absolutely despicable. What do you mean by saying it's all your fault, Ms. Desmulan? He clearly has no ability but puts on that disgusting air, acting like you're his employee.”
Demulan glanced at the sulking girl in front of him and raised an eyebrow indifferently:
"Alright Mary, I taught you before that you need to learn to keep your temper in check and not let it show."
Demulan picked up the cup beside him and handed it to Mary, asking her to make herself a cup of coffee. He then continued:
“Mr. Richard did not blame me this time. It is true that the Mandel bricks were stolen, but for the enemy to think they can use them as they please is just wishful thinking. As for Robert, my advice is to treat him as if he doesn’t exist. Rometheus is arrogant, and he has the right to be arrogant. But once Robert leaves his family, he is good for nothing except for his self-proclaimed perfect social etiquette.”
You know, nobody in Hafk really thinks Rometheus is bad, and nobody really thinks that Robert, that bastard, has any real skills.
"But...seeing you, Ms. Demurean, being humiliated like that by Robert, I..."
"Hehehe, that just shows that you still have a lot to learn, Mary. By the way, have all the reporters you brought back been settled? Are there any personnel oversights?"
As he spoke, Demulan thought of the reporters he had just picked up from Reis the night before. The scene when the two groups met was truly earth-shattering; many female reporters hugged each other and cried their eyes out upon seeing their acquaintances.
"I have arranged for a professional medical team to treat them. So far, no one is in any danger. What should we do with them after they have all been treated?"
“Send them back. It’s not safe for them to stay here. In my opinion, the current situation could change at any time. They are innocent, and they don’t belong here.”
After Mary left, Demulan sat quietly in her seat. Since Mary had come, she, who used to be busy, had become idle, which made her start thinking about the old Hafk flamethrower again.
Demulan: You're really useless, not even as good as my Mary.
Hafk Flamethrower Soldier: I haven't read many books, and you're unhappy if I'm actually in charge of handling things? Double standards!
As is well known, once people have free time, they will start looking for things to do, and Demoulins is no exception.
Looking at his watch, and seeing that there was still a while before his headache started, Demulan took out his phone and casually dialed Rometheus's number, ready to "share" the "treasure" he had discovered earlier.
Demulan: Hehehe, Xiao Hao, wait for me! I'm going to make all these people give me face and come looking for you. Kami, Mom has done her best. After Mom brings them back, it's all up to you. (●'?'●)
Chapter 160 Misunderstanding
"Ring ring ring!"
Far away in the Tower of Babel, Rometheus picked up his incessantly ringing phone with an impatient look. He felt that the carefree and pleasant days he used to spend were slipping away from him. A few days ago, that useless, scheming bitch Audrey kept bombarding him with messages. Today, he was going to see who it was this time.
"Demulan? What day is it today? Why are you calling me again?"
Rometheus stared at Demulan's name on his phone with a constipated expression, wondering whether he should answer the call or not.
"Hiss, usually when there's a mission, Demulan usually has her secretary email Ella, and then Ella informs me. I always have a bad feeling when she calls."
Just as Rometheus was still thinking, the phone automatically disconnected because it hadn't been answered for a long time.
Rometheus: Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it then. Maybe it's just fate, hehe! (●ˇ?ˇ●)
But before he could turn around and get back to work, Demoulins' second phone call came right away.
Rometheus: 6.
