Special Forces Medic-Chapter 618 - 580: I Feel Disheartened

Some people began to sweat coldly. In meetings like this, such voices are rarely heard, even if people understand, they would never be so direct. At most, they would delay the reimbursement to demand a recalculation, which everyone understands. They have never seen Hua Muyun so angry; it felt like a disaster was imminent.

"Secretary Luo!" Hua Muyun called out, and it was Secretary Luo’s assistant who came in. After whispering a few words in Hua Muyun’s ear, she placed the documents prepared in advance by Secretary Luo in front of Hua Muyun and quietly walked out. Hua Muyun raised one eyebrow and opened the folder in his hand.

"Publicity Department, last month’s social expenses reached 1.35 million, office supplies cost 630,000, fuel costs 710,000, and two Audi A series cars were purchased." Hua Muyun threw all the bills listed by the finance department in front of Tang Xiaoxia; this was to set an example.

"Minister of Publicity, please calculate yourself. Your expenses last month alone are double those of the other two departments combined. How are you managing your department?"

Tang Xiaoxia trembled as she picked up the slip and couldn’t speak for a long time. A drop of sweat fell from her forehead onto the paper. "Secretary Hua, I can explain this."

"I don’t need your explanation. I demand you find every single invoice and detail of these expenses by the end of today, down to a single sheet of toilet paper. There must be merchants and contact information for any invoice; if not found, you will cover it yourself, understand?" Hua Muyun coldly glanced at Tang Xiaoxia, and no one dared to breathe, fearing becoming the next target.

"Secretary Hua, you are..."

"Do you feel wronged? I just heard you were the loudest when crying poverty among all departments."

"That’s not what I meant, we have many difficulties. Finding venues and contacting sponsors require hosting and gifting, eating and drinking. Now you want me to prepare all these lists, it’s not—"

"The upright have no fear of crooked shadows. If you can’t find or don’t know, send your subordinates to find them." Hua Muyun suddenly stood up from his chair.

"How much do two Audi A series cost? May I ask why I’ve never seen these two cars in the city council parking lot? I need to see them and their keys in the garage before tonight. If not, cover them yourself or report to the City Police Department."

Everyone gasped in shock. This was targeting the Minister of Publicity! Tang Xiaoxia burst into tears on the spot; no one knew why or for whom she was crying. It came suddenly and uncontrollably.

"What kind of behavior is this? This is a conference room, not your office. Secretary!" Hua Muyun shouted towards the door, and the secretary from earlier immediately appeared in the conference room. "Please escort Minister Tang back to her office."

"Secretary Hua..." Tang Xiaoxia wanted to say something, but she was already escorted out of the conference room. Everyone present knew there was no opportunity for her, and it was dead silent, with no one knowing who the next unlucky person might be.

"Everyone, I am very disheartened. In such difficult times, we still have comrades like this among us. I hope everyone will take this as a warning. After returning to your department, thoroughly check to see if any members have committed similar mistakes. I hope I never see such a list again." Saying that, he threw the entire folder in front of Wang Zhanting and walked out alone.

"Elder Hua, are you alright?" After arranging Hua Qingyi, Secretary Luo hurried to the conference room but unexpectedly encountered Hua Muyun halfway. He quickly stepped forward to support Hua Muyun.

"Where is that damned kid?"

"In your office."

"Hmm!" His heartbeat accelerated; he was genuinely angry in the conference room. This woman was too out of touch.

"I just heard the secretary say Minister Tang’s emotions are a bit agitated." As soon as Secretary Luo spoke, it aroused glare from Hua Muyun, realizing his wrong words.

"Notify the personnel department to let that girl resign, pay her three months’ salary and leave. What kind of atmosphere is this in the city council?"

"Secretary Hua!" Secretary Luo wanted to say more on behalf of his secretary, but Hua Muyun had already entered the office.

Hua Qingyi sat with his legs crossed on the sofa, getting a bit bored waiting. Seeing Hua Muyun enter angrily, he quickly got up. "Oh, Elder, what’s happened to you? Who made you angry like this, be careful of your health." Hua Qingyi assisted Hua Muyun onto the sofa, and Secretary Luo immediately brought the brewed tea.

"Brother Luo, leave this to me. Elder needs a good rest, and I don’t want anyone disturbing him at this moment." Hua Qingyi sat beside Hua Muyun, keeping silent. It seemed the old man was really upset today. It was unknown who had such a big influence in the meeting to make someone who doesn’t express anger so visibly upset.

"What are you doing here?" After drinking a few cups of tea, Hua Muyun calmed down a lot, wanting to have a cigarette but found they were already taken away by his secretary. "Bring me a cigarette."

"Um..." Hua Qingyi hesitated. "I remember your personal doctor said you shouldn’t smoke, right?"

"So, you want to go against me too?" Hua Muyun, seemingly calm, still felt irritated.

"No, it’s just that you should listen to the doctor." On matters of principle, he wouldn’t relent at all. Secretary Luo was an outsider, so he couldn’t be forceful, which Hua Qingyi understood. So sometimes when Hua Muyun came home smelling of smoke, he pretended not to know. Now asking for a cigarette face-to-face, that couldn’t be faked. "So, what’s happened? Making you so upset, it’s undignified!"

"Wang Zhanting is openly challenging Liger City this time; it seems he has some support backing him."

"Liger City?" It seemed a long time since hearing that name. "Without the tiger, going the regular route in Liger City wouldn’t make much money, right? What’s he going for?"

"Pressing me to lift the ban in the meeting."

"Oh, so it’s about openly engaging in illegal operations!" Hua Qingyi knowingly nodded. "Is the city council recently short of money?"

"Where did you hear that?" Hua Muyun glared at Hua Qingyi, then slowly started drinking his tea.

"I didn’t hear it; I analyzed it." Hua Qingyi soothingly patted Hua Muyun’s shoulder. "Wanting to get the operating rights of Liger City, it seemed as soon as Wang Zhanting broke up Liger City, he was already coveting it. Unfortunately, Fatty Wang was useless, got himself involved. Now, wanting to profit from it wouldn’t be as easy as when the tiger was around. Naturally, he wants to do it himself; the business below is easier, and money comes quickly. Isn’t the Wang Family originally from the underworld?"

"Where have you been these last two days? Why are you speaking so strangely?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"That’s really why I came to see you." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
