The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor -
Chapter 633 - 633 595 Taking Office
633: Chapter 595: Taking Office 633: Chapter 595: Taking Office “Appointed as the general manager of a subsidiary of the National Investment Bank,” Xia Mingren told Liu Hun.
Liu Hun’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“This…
Chief of General Staff, as a member of the General Staff, it isn’t quite suitable for me, is it?”
“Ha ha ha…” Xia Mingren laughed upon hearing this.
“What’s unsuitable about it?
Times have changed.
Once you’re appointed as the deputy general manager of the National Investment Bank, you will still be a Major General in the General Staff, although your specific position will have some changes.”
Liu Hun didn’t understand Xia Mingren’s point, but Xia Mingren continued to explain, “Actually, the reason for putting you in this position is that we hope you can use your General Staff identity to solve some of the investment bank’s tricky problems.
After you take office, I will notify all departments of the General Staff.
From now on, wherever you are, if there is a need, you can mobilize the power of the General Staff to serve you.” Then, Xia Mingren gave Liu Hun a warning, “Don’t mess around!”
Liu Hun couldn’t understand why he had been selected and was somewhat uncertain about his abilities, so he said, “Chief of General Staff, I…
perhaps I’m not up to this job.”
“Don’t play dumb with me; you’ve never fought in a war, have you?
And yet, you managed to complete your last mission!” Xia Mingren firmly dismissed Liu Hun’s doubts and stared at him, “You think I don’t know about those things you’ve done before?”
Liu Hun’s face twitched momentarily, having done many things without knowing which one Xia Mingren was referring to.
Seeing Liu Hun’s silence, assuming it was him pretending to be confused, Xia Mingren said with a smile, “During the last mission, where did you get those big toys from?
I know clear as day which accounts they went through.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Hun’s heart skipped a beat.
He had thought his actions were flawless, but to his surprise, Xia Mingren knew about them.
Thinking this, some branches of the General Staff truly were frightening—investigating a person thoroughly was as easy as turning one’s hand.
“Your little braid is in my hands,” Xia Mingren told Liu Hun, legs crossed with a hint of pride.
“I know you’ve made some moves in Hong Kong, which is good.
You’re more familiar with the place than others.
Being able to get things moving shows your capability.
The most important thing is…”
Xia Mingren said seriously to Liu Hun, “I trust you!”
Having heard Xia Mingren out, Liu Hun couldn’t refuse without being rude, so he immediately nodded and said, “I will follow the Chief of General Staff’s arrangements.”
“Good!” Xia Mingren clapped his hands in delight.
“Manager Yan, this lad is now entrusted to you.
You have one month to make him a qualified deputy general manager.”
After speaking, Xia Mingren stood up, came over to Liu Hun, and said, “You’ll be managing the nation’s wealth from now on.
You can’t be careless!” Having said that, Xia Mingren left the reception room.
In the following month, Liu Hun once again underwent devilish training, but unlike the previous physical training at the base, this was comprehensive mental training.
Due to the critical stage of Hong Kong’s return, the task assigned to Liu Hun by Xia Mingren was especially important.
After completing the training, Liu Hun immediately boarded the plane to Hong Kong, and he officially obtained a new identity for Hong Kong.
He had planned to return to Yu Bei City first to see his family, but due to the urgency of the mission and the need to acquaint himself with the Hong Kong situation, he gave up on the idea.
After the plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport, Liu Hun heaved a heavy sigh.
This was yet another visit to Hong Kong, and from today onwards, he formally became a resident of Hong Kong.
Thinking to himself, Liu Hun picked up a business card.
This was a new identity crafted for him by the General Staff, which listed his introduction in both Chinese and English: General Manager of Liu Ran Group—Liu Hun.
Liu Hun knew when Yan Shenghan introduced the National Investment Bank that the Liu Ran Group was actually the largest agency of the National Investment Bank in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, with exclusive authority over affairs in Southeast Asia and the two cities of Hong Kong and Macau.
Liu Hun pocketed his business card and looked around at the welcoming crowd, immediately spotting the sign with his name, and walked toward it.
Upon closer inspection, he was taken aback, “It’s you?!”
“Manager Liu, we’ve been ordered by our superiors to pick you up,” Cai Ya said, unable to hide the smile on her face.
“From now on, we’ll be following you,” Cai Qian immediately told Liu Hun.
Liu Hun flashed a smile at the two sisters, “I thought I’d never see you again.” In truth, Liu Hun still cared about the sisters and didn’t want them to return to that place after leaving the base.
“Long time no see, you’ve become even more beautiful!” Liu Hun cheerfully said to the sisters, and to his surprise found some changes in them.
The common change was that the stern, order-following demeanor of the sisters seemed to have mellowed, while the differences lay in the elder, Cai Ya’s, face—her shyness was more pronounced, and the younger sister, Cai Qian’s, previously naive and inquisitive look had turned into one of composure.
“Could it be you’ve had some guidance?” Liu Hun murmured to himself somewhat regretfully.
He had tried so hard for so long without much noticeable effect, and the sisters had changed after being away from him just briefly.
“General Manager, the chairman has arranged for us to take you to the group’s headquarters,” Cai Qian said, taking Liu Hun’s luggage.
“Alright!” Liu Hun nodded and followed the sisters to the car.
He was quite curious to see what kind of superior old man Xia had found for him.
The car drove towards the Yau Tsim Mong District and stopped in front of a stunning skyscraper.
Liu Hun stepped out and looked up at the building, which was incredibly imposing.
“Is all this part of the Liu Ran Group?”
“No,” Cai Ya shook her head.
“Only the top floor is leased.”
Hearing this, Liu Hun felt relieved.
It seemed his mysterious superior was not so wasteful after all and knew how to spend money.
With this reassurance in mind, he felt a tinge of anticipation for this mysterious superior.
Liu Hun and the sister flowers got on the elevator, and then many people came in one by one.
These people were dressed in neat suits, speaking fluent English.
“A takeover of Hong Kong is imminent, what plans do you all have?” A woman couldn’t help but ask.
“I’ve been ready to leave for a long time now, my whole family has emigrated to Canada.
Once ’97 hits, I’m out of here.
Who knows what kind of mess those Mainlanders will make of this place, it’s worrisome!” A man next to the woman said.
“I’ve heard that the Mainland will adopt the ‘one country, two systems’ policy, allowing Hongkongers to govern Hong Kong.
I think that’s much better than being ruled by the British,” another woman chimed in.
“Who cares who comes, Hong Kong will still be Hong Kong.
My ancestors have always been here, they’ve lived through the Qing Dynasty, the Republic, the Japanese occupation, and then the British.
Hong Kong has continued to progress and develop just the same.
I think what we need to do is to seize this opportunity to make a good catch,” said a man standing near Liu Hun.
“Li Jiasheng, you’re oversimplifying things.
People from the Mainland are not like Westerners; no wonder you can only stay in this place, so ignorant!” the man who spoke of emigration mocked.
Li Jiasheng ignored the man’s mockery, simply stating, “Everything can change, but money is eternal.
You don’t understand.”
Liu Hun found their conversation rather amusing; on one hand, they were worried about the return of Hong Kong, yet they looked down on others for staying in this place.
Those who had been enslaved for too long were really not accustomed to living as normal people.
Liu Hun couldn’t help shaking his head inwardly and sighing.
The people in the elevator gradually left until only Liu Hun and the sister flowers remained.
“Ding!” With a sound, the elevator reached the top floor.
After Liu Hun and the two sisters stepped out, Cai Ya said, “General Manager, we will put your things in the office.
The Chairman is waiting for you in that office!”
Liu Hun nodded his head and walked towards the direction Cai Ya was pointing to.
He arrived at the door labeled Chairman’s Office, made sure his clothes were tidy, and then knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
Liu Hun opened the door and entered upon hearing the voice.
A spacious office laid out before him, with a large floor-to-ceiling window, neat and simple furnishings, and then there was the Chairman sitting in the swivel chair with his back to him.
“Chairman, good day!
I am Liu Hun!” Liu Hun said as he approached the desk.
“Whoosh,” the swivel chair turned toward Liu Hun.
“Liu!
Hun!”
The icy voice took Liu Hun aback.
Then the so-called Chairman’s identity shocked him so much that his jaw dropped, “Xia Yanran!
How could it be you?!”
“Humph!
You still have the nerve to ask how it could be me?!” Xia Yanran stood up angrily, stepped toward Liu Hun, and glared at him, saying fiercely, “You bastard!
Weren’t you supposed to be dead?!
How come you are alive again?!”
Liu Hun knew his unexplained death must have broken many women’s hearts, so he explained to Xia Yanran, “It was the organization’s decision, you must understand that national interests come above everything else!”
“Pah, pah, pah!
I don’t want to hear that nonsense!
You and that old bastard are both scoundrels!” Xia Yanran couldn’t help but curse.
Liu Hun certainly knew that Xia Yanran was scolding Xia Mingren, his immediate superior, so he didn’t know how to respond.
“Speak up!
Say something!
Explain yourself!” Xia Yanran shouted at Liu Hun.
“I know leaving so abruptly was wrong on my part, but it was all arranged by the organization, there was nothing I could do,” Liu Hun said patiently to Xia Yanran.
“What a damned organization!
That old scoundrel only told me you were still alive the day before yesterday!
Do you know how worried I was?
When I heard the news of your death, I…” Xia Yanran looked at Liu Hun as tears welled up and began pounding her fists against his chest, “You bastard!
Bastard you are!”
Liu Hun gently embraced Xia Yanran, stroking her softly.
He didn’t understand how his death could have had such a huge impact on her.
“Do you know…
I thought I would never shed tears again,” Xia Yanran said, lifting her head to look at Liu Hun.
When Liu Hun met Xia Yanran’s gaze, he suddenly realized, it turned out that this girl had fallen in love with him.
Xia Yanran hugged Liu Hun and sobbed for a while before she calmed down.
Then, quietly, she pulled Liu Hun to the chair she was sitting in.
Liu Hun was quite startled by Xia Yanran’s silent actions and didn’t know what she was up to.
“Clack!
Clack!” The sound of handcuffs snapping shut sounded, and that’s when Liu Hun realized Xia Yanran had somehow produced two pairs of handcuffs and cuffed him to the chair.
“Xia Yanran, what are you doing?” Liu Hun asked somewhat panicked, very worried that Xia Yanran might do something rash in her frustration.
