Chapter 2892: Chapter 2892: Elevated to a Trusted Confidant
"Yes."
Lin Yi said bluntly, "In any case, it won’t work with me. You can go and ask other groups."
After saying this, Lin Yi turned and walked toward Li Chuhan, not bothering to chat further with Chen Zhiyi.
Chen Zhiyi stood in place, frowning involuntarily.
She hadn’t expected Lin Yi to reject her so unceremoniously.
"Sis, that guy is really arrogant," said Chen Zhisheng, Chen Zhiyi’s younger brother.
"He has the right to be arrogant."
Chen Zhiyi said nothing else and turned to get into the car.
"He’s just a team leader, technically at the same level as you. What’s there to show off about?"
"Even though we’re technically at the same level, he’s different. As the Merit Team Leader of the Central Guards Brigade, that title isn’t for nothing."
"It’s just a title. Why are you taking it so seriously?" Chen Zhisheng said:
"I’ve won the city’s Top Ten Youth award, but everyone knows it’s just a gimmick with no real value."
"It’s because it has no real value that you were able to get it," Chen Zhiyi said:
"Let me tell you this, if he retired right now, with all the merits he’s earned, his retirement benefits would be at the same level as Grandpa. Think about what that implies."
"At the same level as Grandpa..."
Chen Zhisheng shivered, a bit creeped out.
He was very aware of his grandfather’s rank.
If he could reach that level now, what would it be like in another ten or twenty years? Unbelievable.
"Still, he was a bit too full of himself. Leaving aside your work relationship, you’re a beautiful woman; he didn’t give you any face at all, which is quite disrespectful."
"For someone like your sister, with my rank, I’m nothing in his eyes," Chen Zhiyi said:
"The women around him are all impressive; ordinary people can’t get close to him."
"Oh, now that you put it that way, I remember, there was a woman standing right behind him just now who seemed pretty good-looking, too."
"That woman is called Li Chuhan, and their relationship is pretty ambiguous," Chen Zhiyi said:
"Besides, she’s the youngest cardiac surgery expert in the country and a future powerhouse who will receive national subsidies."
"Really? That woman is so formidable?" Chen Zhisheng said in surprise.
"Even more formidable than you know, but there’s no need for you to know. Let’s drive."
"Where are we going now?"
"To the military district. Since we’re here, we must visit Mr. Yang. He’s close with Lin Yi and might be able to help put in a word."
"Shouldn’t it be more suitable to go to Elder Liang for this?"
"If you can’t understand even this, then all these years have been for nothing," Chen Zhiyi said:
"It’s not for nothing; going to Elder Liang would certainly help," Chen Zhisheng said:
"With his status, just one word from him would make any team leader comply obediently."
"You need to know that Elder Liang is my direct superior. Asking a leader to solve problems is a sign of incompetence on the part of the subordinate," Chen Zhiyi said:
"And considering Elder Liang’s status and position, asking him to handle such trivial matters... do you think that’s appropriate?"
"Uh... that does make sense."
"Solve what you can on your own, and try not to bother the leaders."
"Got it."
Chen Zhisheng responded, then drove to the military district, where they successfully met with Yang Guangxia.
"You two little things have really grown up; you even brought gifts when you came to see me," Yang Guangxia said with a cheerful smile:
"I remember when you used to come here years ago, you always took more than you brought."
"Oh, Mr. Yang, back then we were young and foolish. Please don’t tease us," Chen Zhiyi said with a laugh.
"Alright, alright, young lady gets easily embarrassed, I understand," Yang Guangxia said:
"I heard you’re now working at Central Guard Brigade, and Lin Yi is in Zhong Hai too. I’ll host a gathering later; let’s all get together for a meal."
"Mr. Yang, to be honest, we’ve already met him just now."
"Already met him? That’s pretty quick of you."
Yang Guangxia took a sip of tea and said with a smile:
"Were you there to ask him for something?"
Chen Zhiyi nodded ambiguously and said:
"I’ve got new discoveries regarding the ore research and wanted to experiment on live animals, but my request to accompany the team to the island was denied by him."
Yang Guangxia listened attentively and said:
"So you came this time hoping I’d speak on your behalf, right."
"Not at all; I specifically came to visit you," Chen Zhiyi said with a sweet smile.
"You little rascal, you were scheming since you were little. Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to?" Yang Guangxia said:
"But, in this case, I might not be able to help; you’ll have to figure it out yourself."
"This is unexpected..."
Chen Zhiyi was taken aback; she hadn’t expected someone of Yang Guangxia’s stature to say something like this.
"But I can’t understand why he refused so decisively since I’m not an outsider; I’m also a member of the Central Guard Brigade."
"He’s afraid you’ll be a hindrance."
"I can assure you that I won’t cause them any trouble. I have certain self-protection abilities," Chen Zhiyi said earnestly.
"How long have you been with the Central Guard Brigade?"
Yang Guangxia suddenly changed the topic, catching Chen Zhiyi off guard.
"About half a month."
"It seems you haven’t truly integrated into this circle yet," Yang Guangxia said with a smile:
"Just based on what you said, if I were in his place, I wouldn’t let you go on the island either."
Chen Zhiyi was completely at a loss, not understanding what he meant.
"In the battle sequence of the Central Guard Brigade, whether it’s Flame Dragon or the four groups, no one dares to claim they have self-protection abilities on the island."
Chen Zhiyi was suddenly stunned, realizing she had spoken incorrectly.
"Mr. Yang, I understand your point, but I was born into this circle and took the initiative to come to the Central Guard Brigade, so I’m already prepared for the worst and have the resolve to die."
"You silly girl, still so naïve, you really should learn more from that Lin Yi kid," Yang Guangxia said.
With a strong demeanor from a young age, Chen Zhiyi felt a bit uncomfortable hearing Yang Guangxia say this.
After taking a sip of tea, Yang Guangxia spoke without obfuscation:
"You must understand that once you tread into the Central Guard Brigade, what you bear isn’t just yours alone."
He placed down his cup and continued:
"Perhaps your life, in the Central Guard Brigade, has no significance, but your death certainly does."
While speaking, Yang Guangxia glanced at Chen Zhiyi, "Group 7 Leader Chen Shengli—how he died, you should know."
"I know."
"But do you know how that incident was settled?"
Chen Zhiyi shook her head, "I don’t know."
"He took people and, with thunderous means, killed them all and broadcast the matter to the whole world," Yang Guangxia said:
"Everyone in the Central Guard Brigade, invisibly, represents the face of the Central Guard Brigade. If something really happens to you, the consequences might fall on the Central Guard Brigade. You should understand what I mean."
