Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1567 286:

"Teacher...""Everyone has the freedom to pursue personal happiness, but you must first make sure that she's divorced."

"She..."

"How long have you known her? You only met her on the train for the first time, and you believe what she says?"

"I..."

"Besides, how do you plan to handle the baby in her stomach? You're still young, not yet at the stage of considering being a stepdad."

"Teacher, I am determined to follow you..."

"Alright, let's just say this is the end of the discussion on this matter. Don't bring it up again. We are teacher and student, after all, not father and son. Some things are better left for your parents to worry about; I won't share the burden."

Xue Liangliang opened his mouth, but eventually nodded in agreement.

Patting his beloved student's shoulder, Luo Tingrui encouraged: "Stay spirited by putting aside personal emotions. Facing work, you should understand how many people, how many families are involved in this project. Many people have already paid a great deal, and we must be responsible for their contributions."

"I understand, Teacher."

Luo Tingrui flagged down a taxi, got inside, and reported the address to the driver, adding: "Driver, hurry please."

Just when Luo Tingrui was preparing to ask Xue Liangliang about his contact with Xiao Yuan, the next moment, the taxi shot out like an arrow released from the bow with a "buzz".

Though thrilling like thunder on flat ground, speeding through a mountainous area is genuinely exhilarating.

Luo Tingrui could only grab the handle above the window, tensing his body.

Soon, they reached their destination.

The driver tapped the steering wheel and asked, "How was it, fast?"

Luo Tingrui: "Fast."

After they got out of the car, Xue Liangliang paid the fare, and the driver leisurely drove away.

For a taxi driver, an accent from out-of-town requesting speed is equivalent to a stimulant.

After tidying up his clothes and hair, Luo Tingrui led Xue Liangliang into the office.

Like Mr. Zhai and the others when they came earlier, Luo Tingrui's arrival attracted many people to greet him; even more people came, and they were more enthusiastic.

"Xiao Yuan."

Luo Tingrui saw the young man in the crowd, approached, and affectionately patted and looked at him.

Then, he nodded to Lin Shuyou and Tan Wenbin standing behind Li Zhiyuan.

After a brief chat, everyone headed to the meeting room together.

Upon knocking and entering, Mr. Zhai turned to the side and took off the glasses from his nose bridge.

Luo Tingrui went forward to shake hands with Mr. Zhai.

"Mr. Zhai, thank you for your hard work."

"Old bones still can move, better use them more." Saying this, Mr. Zhai began to introduce the disciples beside him.

Halfway through the introduction, Mr. Zhai turned his head to look at the young man standing behind Luo Tingrui, but he didn't rush to ask questions, instead finishing the introduction of his disciples first.

Luo Tingrui also introduced his students, and when he mentioned the young man, Mr. Zhai smiled, and his disciples behind him all showed surprise.

Mr. Zhai bent down and pinched Li Zhiyuan's face:

"Little guy, you sure know how to keep a secret. Come on, show grandpa your surprise, say you didn't expect grandpa to work in this field too?"

Li Zhiyuan showed a shy smile.

Luo Tingrui asked: "Mr. Zhai, you know him?"

Mr. Zhai nodded: "We met on the road, but I didn't realize he was your student. I thought he was really still in elementary school."

Luo Tingrui: "Hahaha, don't blame this kid. He reported meeting a highly respected elder on his way. I told him to keep it confidential for fear that someone might snatch my future treasure from me."

Mr. Zhai knew Luo Tingrui was deliberately smoothing things over. If he had truly reported, there would be no question of recognizing.

However, the old man was not upset. He already appreciated this kid and thought about possibly introducing him to this field in the future, though unexpectedly, he was already in it.

Thinking back to advising him to study well, it's like urging a valedictorian to study diligently.

Mr. Zhai said to Li Zhiyuan: "Follow your teacher, study well, work well. Your teacher's capabilities are recognized in our industry."

Luo Tingrui: "Mutual learning, learning from many teachers. Come, have a seat, let's continue the meeting. I told the host that I won't go for a separate lunch, ask them to divide a platter and bring it over. We'll talk while eating."

"Yes, that's appropriate, please take a seat."

Both sides sat down, and the main speakers continued their reports, while Mr. Zhai leaned toward Luo Tingrui, discussing noteworthy points from the earlier meeting.

Li Zhiyuan and Xue Liangliang listened to the reports while organizing and reviewing documents on the desk; Tan Wenbin was making meeting notes, and Lin Shuyou, after sitting for a while, went to help distribute boxed meals.

This was Li Zhiyuan's first time encountering such a large project; strictly speaking, those present, including this classified department, were only the tip of the iceberg for such a large project. It involved so many aspects.

The meeting continued until dusk, with people constantly entering to join, and more would come over in the evening. The small conference room couldn't accommodate everyone, so they had to move to a larger room.

Dinner was still boxed meals, but there was an additional hour of rest, primarily to wait for others to participate.

Some meetings are held just because the time and place are set in advance, while others can only happen because certain individuals arrive.

Li Zhiyuan held a boxed meal in hand, Xue Liangliang had two, and they walked to a secluded terrace.

A woman appeared.

Xue Liangliang smiled at Li Zhiyuan, while the woman behind Xue Liangliang avoided his line of sight, bowing lightly to Li Zhiyuan.
