Special District 9 Chapter 173: The Mind of a Small Fry

Hearing Liu Baochen’s angry ramblings, Wen Yonggang flung his fringe to the side and berated him sternly, “Watch your attitude! Who do you think you are lashing out at here?”

Liu Baochen took a look at his document once more. Unable to swallow down his indignance, he marched forward and exclaimed, “Vice Superintendent Wen, isn’t this too severe? An official reprimand is as good as stripping me bare in public!”
