CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 221 HMM! YOU AMBUSHED ME! (FIRST UPDATE)

Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly, "Let her in! Why not? Your fourth sister-in-law is the expert I invited."

As Tong Airui spoke, he got out of the car first, extended a hand to Yi Luowa, and said solemnly, "Expert Yi, please step out."

"Expert? I heard it’s a young lady. Lin Zhanpeng, don’t lie to me! I have an urgent report for the Captain."

"Thank you, Captain Audrich." Yi Luowa reached out her hand, gracefully stepping out of the car.

While he was signing, Gao Can took the opportunity to glance at Yi Luowa again.

"Good day, Captain!" Gao Can saluted.

"I’m saying it for them to hear. Always so nosy!"

Tong Airui narrowed his eyes and sat on the sofa opposite Yi Luowa, speaking loudly, "Expert Yi, the issue regarding vibration damping is all on you."

"Is it tasty?" Yi Luowa stopped what she was doing and asked with a playful smile.

"You’re not allowed to leave!" Tong Airui held her firmly. "Tonight, I’m taking you to try the food at Shen Ying."

"I don’t repeat myself!" Yi Luowa laughed while pinching his face, watching it scrunch up amusingly under her touch. She giggled, saying, "Before King Muta comes to hold you accountable, I should leave."

Tong Airui gestured toward the door. "Give it less than ten minutes, and King Muta will hear about you being here. They’re always watching me, just waiting for me to screw up so they can replace me. Do they even realize their age? They’re practically buried chest-deep in dirt."

Lin Zhanpeng understood, poured a glass of water, and excused himself.

Tong Airui scanned through the report quickly and signed his name.

"Captain’s back?" Yi Luowa had just sat down when a voice came from outside the door.

"It’s only the beginning of the month, yet you want me to approve next month’s supplies?" Tong Airui voiced his displeasure.

"Keep your voice down!" Yi Luowa leaned over and patted his thigh.

"Yes, the Captain is discussing matters with an invited expert. If it’s not urgent, please wait a while before coming in." Lin Zhanpeng blocked the person outside.

Tong Airui suddenly pulled her close and hugged her tightly. "Say that again!"

"Captain Audrich, I’ve just noticed that you have a penchant for white," Yi Luowa teased with a smile, observing the white desk and chair.

Tong Airui’s office was on the seventh floor. When they stepped out of the elevator, the people in the corridor stopped and saluted Tong Airui.

Tong Airui cleared his throat, pulling Gao Can’s gaze back to him. Gao Can took the report with a grin and remarked, "The expert you invited is quite young, Captain."

Gao Can’s mouth twitched slightly before he sulked out of the room.

Tong Airui returned their salutes coolly and led Yi Luowa straight into his own office.

Yi Luowa looked around. Tong Airui’s office was spacious, with two large rows of sofas. Holding a meeting with twenty or so people wouldn’t be a problem.

Tong Airui nodded slightly, "What’s the urgent matter?"

"It’s not that I particularly like it. I was influenced by my dad. It just feels like nothing fits this room better than white." Tong Airui glanced at Lin Zhanpeng.

"Our PCW’s vibration-damping technology is already world-class, so this won’t be a problem for us. Captain, please rest assured." Yi Luowa suppressed a smile and glanced at the doorway.

Yi Luowa gave him an annoyed look. "Is there anyone nosier than you?"

The door opened in response, and a fifty-something lieutenant general strode in.

Tong Airui curled the corners of his lips slightly and called out loudly, "Lin Zhanpeng, let Gao Can in!"

Gao Can pulled back his gaze. "Captain, the new recruits this year will be receiving their stipends next month. There are suddenly tens of thousands more people. With your approval, we can allocate funds timely."

"Wisdom isn’t tied to age. Besides, I’m much younger than you, aren’t I?" Tong Airui shot him an unhappy look. "Tell those guys to stop watching me all day. Isn’t it irritating?"

Tong Airui squinted at the door slightly, frowning.

Walking on the white long-haired carpet, Yi Luowa’s gaze fell on the bookshelf behind his desk. An entire wall was occupied by white bookshelves. If someone were to read all of them, it would take at least twenty years.

"Next month’s supplies need your approval, so I can start organizing them." Gao Can handed Tong Airui the report, but his gaze remained fixed on Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa smiled warmly. Could this be one of the "old guys" Lin Zhanpeng mentioned? Why was he so interested in her?

"Four dishes and a soup. The flavor’s decent."

Lin Zhanpeng suppressed his laughter and followed closely behind them into the office building.

"You’re the highest leader in Shen Ying, and you only get four dishes and a soup?" Yi Luowa pouted.
