Chapter 1396: Chapter 1415: Each airing their own views

Early in the morning, Ji Changfeng walked into the office building with a relaxed step, holding a bag of steamed buns, soy milk, and deep-fried dough sticks in his hand, enthusiastically greeted by the busy staff he met along the way.

The Special Action Department is located in a secluded area, and its appearance does not betray its importance and confidentiality. The building was once a consulate of a certain country and exudes a distinct sense of history.

In the summer, the walls were covered with ivy, making the entire courtyard lush and green.

"Director Ji, everyone has already arrived,"

"They are all waiting for you to start the meeting!"

"Alright, I know!" Ji Changfeng nodded, handed his breakfast over to his secretary, and turned towards the conference room.

The conference room was at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Ji Changfeng pushed the door open to find seven or eight people whispering inside. They stopped their conversation and stood up to salute him as he entered.

"Alright! Everyone take your seats! We don’t follow the military protocol here." Ji Changfeng sat at the head of the table, leaning back in his chair, and without beating around the bush, said directly: "I suppose everyone is already aware of the purpose of today’s meeting."

Everyone remained silent, waiting for him to continue. After all, they had worked with Ji Changfeng for so long that they were familiar with his ways: a preface like this usually meant there was more to come.

"I just want to hear your specific opinions about the special recruitment of Jiang Nanfei, and also, who is willing to persuade her?"

The attendees looked at each other with wide-eyed surprise until someone finally couldn’t help but ask: "Director Ji, do you mean that you have already decided to enlist Jiang Nanfei?"

"Of course!" Ji Changfeng nodded affirmatively; he grew more satisfied with Jiang Nanfei the more he saw of her. Unfortunately, she had refused him.

It was indeed an unprecedented event; no one had ever refused him before, and she was the first.

"Director Ji, I suggest you reconsider. Jiang Nanfei is not suitable in terms of age and personality."

"Yes! I think she’s too impulsive and not fit for fieldwork."

"We conducted a preliminary investigation on Jiang Nanfei and learned about the large-scale lawsuits and discussions she caused at school. Frankly speaking, there are issues with her social conduct; she’s too vindictive. If such power were entrusted to a person like that, it would undoubtedly lead to significant risks and instability."

"I am not at ease either!"

"I suggest Director Ji reconsider."

After much back and forth from everyone, Ji Changfeng almost couldn’t help but laugh. "I gathered everyone here to discuss the means to recruit Jiang Nanfei, not to voice opposition."

"Ah? She actually dared to refuse the recruitment of the Special Action Department?" someone exclaimed, only to be greeted by a wave of disdainful glances from everyone else.

"Comrade Wu, please stand firm in your position."

"Oh! Sorry!" Comrade Wu, receiving a wave of disdainful glances, looked innocently at Ji Changfeng, "Director Ji, I am also against the recruitment of Jiang Nanfei, but I also admire the courage she showed by refusing you."

Everyone: "..."

So are you opposed or supportive?

"Actually, it’s because I didn’t explain it clearly to her; this cannot be blamed on her." However, Ji Changfeng knew in his heart that Jiang Nanfei’s rejection was sincere and her resolve firm.

Even if he did explain clearly, the result would still be a refusal, which is why he didn’t say more.

"Director, you should stop speaking well of Jiang Nanfei."

"I suggest you reconsider, I can’t believe that from the four major military regions and top police and military academies, we can’t find excellent talent."

Once again, people started to voice their opinions in a cacophony of discussion.
