CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 90: FAVORING DAUGHTERS OVER SONS (PART 2)

Just because of tone-deafness, just because of gender discrimination, they erase all the efforts their department has made. And they have to hand over the materials unconditionally to the National Security Department? The order this time is clearly reversed.

"Boss, if you ask us to carry guns and charge into battle, we wouldn’t say a word, but singing, we really can’t do it, how about you try?" The iron-blooded men of the Armed Department are now willing to bleed rather than strain their vocal cords.

With one sweep of his gaze, Lu Xun silenced the entire conference room. Have you ever heard Lu Xun sing? Such a person isn’t born yet.

"Or we can apply to be security guards. Given our skills and aura, we’re definitely cut out to be the head of security at Golden Splendor." The men of the Armed Department were also harboring a bellyful of grievances. So what if they can’t be "Young Masters", these strapping lads, mimicking others with a dainty touch and a voice as mellifluous as an oriole—what would that look like.

"Golden Splendor never recruits security guards from the outside; it is said that their security is managed by a specialized security company," Lu Xun also knew that asking these gun-toting men to take up microphones would make them feel uncomfortable.

"Well, then it’s hopeless, our whole Armed Department can’t find a single creamy-faced youngster that’s popular nowadays," the lieutenants were out of options; this physique, this voice, are given by their parents, a gift from the heavens. It’s not like they can crawl back into their mother’s womb and shape themselves anew at this critical juncture.

Could it really be that the entire Armed Department can’t find a single suitable person? Lu Xun was so frustrated that he started pulling his hair. After a few tugs, he snapped his fingers, "I’ve got it, how could I forget him. Have Yu Xiaonan end his leave immediately and report back at top speed."

Reportedly, after several days and nights of sleepless toil, Yu Xiaonan had finally completed a few tasks and accumulated more than three thousand military merit points. And these days, Yijie had stopped contacting him. According to his previous agreement to infiltrate the National Security Department and participate in the "Military Road" trials, Lu Xun had promised him a holiday, which still had a little less than half a month left.

This day, after pondering over his feelings and deciding that "being a homebody for too long is detrimental to various functions," he resolved to spruce up and meet some friends for a good mix-up. Little did he know that Lu Xun’s deadly summoning call was on its way.

"The other party is currently in a call." Lu Xun dialed over a dozen times, but the voice assistant kept giving the same message.

After a good few minutes, Lu Xun switched to another phone and called again, only to find it was still engaged.

Without another word, Lu Xun stood up from the Armed Department and headed straight for the secretary’s office of the Rand Military Region. He borrowed a cell phone from the secretary nicknamed Land’s Flower, a secretary named Xiao Nuan.

Once again, he dialed the number. As the beautiful and amiable secretary Xiao Nuan wondered why Lieutenant Colonel Lu had come all the way around the Rand Military Region to borrow her phone.

The call went through immediately. Yu Xiaonan spoke obligingly from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Nuan, the great beauty, what brings you to contact me today? I’m on vacation. Available 24 hours a day."

It appeared that the young man had added the contact numbers of everyone in the Armed Department, including those of landlines, to his blacklist.

"Yu Xiaonan, this is Lieutenant Colonel Lu. In view of your egregious attitude in setting up a blacklist, which has severely delayed our department’s military duties, your leave has been canceled. I require you to appear at the Armed Department in uniform within two hours."

Xiao Nuan stood nearby, blushing at Lieutenant Colonel Lu’s demeanor after he finished speaking. Indeed, known as the most MAN of the Rand military, even his scolding carried an imposing aura.

She coyly asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Lu, could you give me your contact information?" Within Rand, except for the same department, there was no contact information for inter-departmental communications.

"Sorry, phone numbers are military secrets," replied Lu Xun, expressionless as he put down the phone.

Land’s Flower had never been refused like this before, and she sighed after a long while—Rand’s most MAN soldier was indeed the toughest nut to crack. Lu Xun had already rejected countless advances from female colleagues before.

"Someone on leave clearly has the privilege of not answering calls or asking about military affairs. It’s understandable. Lu Xun, this is outright exploitation. I’m going to the Military Committee to complain; I must air my grievances this time. I’m going right now to the military region to do so," Yu Xiaonan tossed the phone into his pocket, pulled out his military uniform, and started to put it on.

Yu Xiaonan looked even paler than before after resting for over a month. As he approached the military region, just when he tried to steer his car towards the building housing the Complaints Department of the Military Committee, a few colleagues from the Armed Department appeared out of thin air, dragged him out of the car without a word.

One hand each, they took him instead of his car and hoisted him into the Armed Department.

"Reporting, sir, Yu Xiaonan has been brought in." Yu Xiaonan was thrown into the conference room. In the conference room, it was now just him and Lu Xun. Yu Xiaonan was still quite afraid of Lu Xun, to be precise, Yu Xiaonan wasn’t afraid of Lu Xun; he just dreaded pain.

Lu Xun was a typical advocate of violent cooperation; he liked to use brute force before manners, directly using his fists to coerce Yu Xiaonan to agree. And he loved to target people’s "vital spots." Yu Xiaonan’s vital spot was his face. So upon seeing Lu Xun, Yu Xiaonan prudently covered his face.

"Don’t worry; I won’t hit your face this time. This task actually needs your face as its poster," Lu Xun tossed a stack of materials, "You have three days to learn all the songs listed here."

"The ladies are legendary, I haven’t been a gigolo for many years, my heart is too tough." These songs were the most widely circulated on the internet nowadays. Yu Xiaonan grinned, "I know all of these, did you forget where I come from."
