A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1010 Bullying a Newcomer

"No, General Fang! General Fang!"

The guard at the door attempted to stop Fang Shao-Hong, but it was too late.

The moment Fang Shao-Hong entered, he discovered there was no meeting happening at all. Instead, a bunch of people were just sitting around the table and chatting over lunch.

"Didn't I say no one was to enter unless it's urgent? If you disturb my guest, you are going to get it from me!"

The man who spoke was a short and stout man.

The moment someone barged in, he started yelling furiously.

He was deputy commander of the Jiangdong's armed forces, Lin Qing-He.

But Fang Shao-Hong ignored Lin Qing-He's scolding and turned to look at another middle-aged man instead.

The man was imposing and burly with an authoritative look in his eyes. His eyes were slightly furrowed, and he seemed clearly unhappy with the interruption.

Indeed, this soldierly looking middle-aged man was none other than the commander of Jiangdong's army, Wu Yang.

"Commander Wu, what are you trying to do? We've waited for ages for you outside while you were just here enjoying your food. We had such a hard time convincing fine talent like Mr Chu to come, but you are treating him this way? How do you think that would make him feel?"

Fang Shao-Hong's words were clearly filled with anger.

He was genuinely outraged.

To think they thought that Wu Yang and the others had received urgent orders and were discussing matters of national importance.

It turned out that these two commanders were having fun while they waited outside and wasted their time.

"How dare you? Is this how you speak to the commander? Fang Shao-Hong, you had better not think you can push your weight around and disrespect the commander just because you are from the capital. Le me tell you. You aren't in Yanjing anymore! This is no place for you to cause problems!" barked Lin Qing-He as he slammed the table before Wu Yang said a word.

"What is going on? Why did you get into an argument?"

Lu Tian-He and the others overheard the commotion inside, so they hurriedly walked in to find out what was going on.

"Tian-He, perfect. Just look at this! We waited outside for over an hour, but they were drinking and chatting inside. Are they bullying us because we are not from here?" Fang Shao-Hong was furious.

He had already expected a lot of resistance when they parachuted into Jiangdong to work on the martial art

special troops.

After all, Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong were outsiders from Yanjing, so it was unavoidable for them to be ostracized by the local military.

But he didn't expect these people to be this arrogant and blatant and make things difficult for them right from the start.

Lu Tian-He also frowned at this.

"Commander Wu, what is the meaning of this?" asked Lu Tian-He angrily as he looked at Wu Yang.

Wu Yang finally broke the silence and smiled as he replied, "Tian-He, Shao-Hong, don't be angry. It was a misunderstanding. My subordinates got my instructions mixed up. I told them not to let any unauthorized persons into the room, but I didn't expect them to keep all of you out as well. I will punish them after lunch. Have a seat. I saved you spots. I prepared this meal to welcome Master Wei Qing and all of you."

Wu Yang was certainly the leader of the Jiangdong army. In a few words, he quickly defused an argument.

Lu Tian-He and the others were also incapable of finding any fault in his words.

"Where is the Old Mr Chu you've invited over? Isn't he here yet? I saved a bottle of Maotai for this highly respected man you've said so much about."

Wu Yang smiled as he looked at the door.

Other than Lu Tian-He's subordinates, he didn't see this so-called Mr Chu.

"Never mind. Tian-He, Shao-Hong, why don't you take a seat first? Is this your new guard? Go bring a chair over for General Lu," ordered Wu Yang casually as he looked at Ye Fan.

In that instance, Wu Yang and the others sensed the atmosphere freezing over.

Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong were speechless as their expressions darkened. They looked at Wu Yang strangely and said, "Commander Wu, he is King of Jiangdong, Mr Chu."

What?

"This is Mr Chu? Such a young man?" Wu Yang was stunned.

Previously, he assumed the man whom Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong recommended must be a respectable older martial artist.

After all, it was impossible to make all the leaders Jiangdong acknowledge someone as their leader if he wasn't mature and highly experienced enough.

Ye Fan's age was clearly not what Wu Yang anticipated.

Very quickly, the broad smile on Wu Yang's face dissipated.

"General Lu, don't tell me you think that a kid like him is capable of training troops? This must be a joke, right? I was wondering how respectable this Mr Chu would be. I didn't think he was just a boy. Wouldn't we be left with a bunch of sissies if we left the training to him? Commander Wu, I think we should leave the training to professional martial artists like Master Wei Qing." Lin Qing-He instantly burst out laughing.

He mocked Lu Tian-He and the others as he recommended the man beside him to Wu Yang.

The man seemed around 40 to 50 years old and was tall and buff. Despite wearing a suit, they could still sense how muscular he was.

Ever since they entered the command center, this man sat where he was without saying a word. He didn't even lift his head to look at them. Instead, his eyes remained shut and exuded a very arrogant air.

"Lin Qing-He, watch your words!" shouted Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong coldly when they detected his blatant mockery.

"All of you, enough. Master Wei Qing just got here, so stop embarrassing yourselves."

Wu Yang broke off the argument and gestured for them to eat.

"Commander Wu, Mr Chu has something to attend to. Why don't we settle on the position of the chief military instructor first?" said Lu Tian-He.

In their effort to keep the project a secret, he would be the Jiangdong chief military instructor on paper. However, he would be in charge of special troops training in reality.

"If Mr Chu is busy, he can go ahead. Let's not hold him up," replied Wu Yang deeply.

These simple words made Lu Tian-He and Fang Shao-Hong completely lost for words. Their faces turned pale instantly.
