The boss's surname was Zhan, claiming he was a relative of James Bond himself.
Very humorous.
But the boss didn't know that someone here was even more humorous.
Qi Xiaohui didn't catch the boss's self-introduction, so he quietly asked Fang Huai, who seemed the most educated among the conscripts:
"James Bond? Is he the one who fixes railroads or something?"
Xiao Haishan replied in his deep and stuffy voice, "Squad leader, have you ever watched a movie? 007!"
With that, he gave a thumbs-up:
"Great! (Bond) Really great! (James Bond)"
Fang Huai burst out laughing so hard that a noodle shot out of his nose, clearing his sinuses entirely.
That had everyone looking on, fully satisfied, scrapping the last of the seafood from their stir-fried noodles and setting down their chopsticks.
A meal after a midnight call or a meal missed because of dispatch was a necessary part of the routine.
