CHAPTER 636: CHAPTER 378: THE CHOICE

Inside the same conference room, facing Ye Xuan who had taken the seat across her, Luo Ye shifted uneasily, her lips moved, but she uttered not a word.

"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan’s eyes brimmed with amusement, "You hurried me over here, yet now you’re silent. Could it be just because you missed me?"

"That..." Luo Ye took a deep breath, her expression serious as she looked at him, "You’re aware of the purpose behind Vice Chairman Lin’s private talk with me, right?"

Ye Xuan nodded, "Yes, I know."

"That day, I wanted to tell you about it, but I left before I had the chance. Afterwards, with some hesitation in my heart, I delayed it, but now, I... want to know your opinion."

"Ye’er, I’ve been waiting for you to make up your mind..." Ye Xuan reached out his hand and gently took Luo Ye’s, "Regarding your future development, Fierce Tiger is undoubtedly a better choice, and that’s an indisputable fact. I didn’t bring it up with you because I wanted to give you time to think it through, and I believed that you would weigh the pros and cons clearly.

Ye’er, whether it’s now or in the future, I will not overly interfere with your life plans. Of course, if there are any deviations, I will definitely step in to correct them."

"I am considering joining Fierce Tiger, but do you think..." Luo Ye frowned with a little twist of her nose, "Do you think that by doing so, I’m betraying Uncle Jiang? There’s another thing I have to tell you, Feng Tianzhi has also joined Fierce Tiger, and with that, I might have to become colleagues with him."

"Silly girl, you always think too much for others. Captain Jiang was originally opposed to you joining Team A, which you should be very clear about.

He didn’t want you to be in danger, nor did he want others to say that he’s protecting you, to the extent of overshadowing your talent. However, you earned respect step by step with your own abilities, so all he can do is to acknowledge and accept that.

Joining Fierce Tiger naturally involves risks, but since he has understood your previous choices, entering Fierce Tiger is nothing unacceptable.

To be frank, when Vice Chairman Lin initially expressed the intention to let you join Fierce Tiger, General Xia, Vice Commander Lei, and Captain Jiang were very much against it. Everyone has seen your talent and naturally doesn’t want you to leave.

Because of your rejection to Vice Chairman Lin’s proposal, he later had a detailed talk with General Xia and the others, explaining why he saw potential in you: your skills, intelligence, and appearance.

Speaking of appearance, don’t be upset Ye’er. After all, the members of Fierce Tiger interact at a higher level and represent the country’s image when acting as interpreters. You understand this without my elaborate explanation.

It’s not difficult to excel in one aspect, manageable in two, but to excel in all three makes finding qualified personnel incredibly rare. Moreover, these individuals are also expected to have a clean background and withstand temptations. Hence, it is understandable why Vice Chairman Lin went to such lengths to secure you.

After their talk, Vice Chairman Lin found me separately, and my response was that everything would depend on your opinion, I wouldn’t interfere, nor would I persuade you on his behalf.

However, after that, I had a thorough discussion with General Xia, Vice Commander Lei, and Captain Jiang. I believe, regardless of your choice, Captain Jiang won’t have objections. However, General Xia and Vice Commander Lei are different; after all, they are the leaders of Army A.

And Fierce Tiger has no affiliations with Army A. To avoid frictions in the future, I had to administer a preventive shot beforehand. Thankfully, after I just briefly listed the pros and cons of you being in both teams, they readily agreed to respect Ye’er’s final decision. So, these past days, I have been waiting for Ye’er to decide.

As for Feng Tianzhi joining Fierce Tiger, I had anticipated that. He indeed is a formidable opponent, and one who I respect. In some aspects, he seems to have fewer concerns than me, his seemingly crazy character can perhaps be interpreted as genuine.

However, there’s only a difference, not a gap, between him and me in this regard. The difference in personalities ensures our approach to things will definitely be distinct.

If, and I mean if, one day Ye’er really leaves me, that would only mean that I wasn’t good enough, and I let Ye’er down.

To prevent such a thing requires my actions, not by obstructing Ye’er’s decisions. I’m not a narrow-minded man, rest assured."

Luo Ye blinked her eyes, "So, does that mean you agree?"

"I think I’ve made myself very clear. Don’t you trust me?" Ye Xuan reached out to tickle her nose, "Do I give you the impression of saying one thing but meaning another?"
