After Chen Yu's introduction, most people showed expressions of admiration and trust, and offered compliments to "Tianyu Base" and Chen Yu and his group.

However, a small group of people, represented by Qin Yonggang, had other ideas.

In Qin Yonggang's view, the fact that recent college graduates, security guards, and individual pig farmers could serve as senior managers at the "Tianyu Base" only shows that they have the ability, or that it is a show project launched to win people over, and does not prove anything.

But what about Qi Xiaowei and Lin Ping?

One is the district police chief of an ordinary small city, and the other is the company commander of a garrison.

How could someone who isn't even a minor official hold a key position at the "Tianyu Base"?

If that's the case, then wouldn't Qin Yonggang, as the deputy mayor of Xidu City, one of the major cities in Daxia, be able to ascend to heaven?

Thinking of this, Qin Yonggang straightened up immediately, and his face regained its former arrogant expression.

After a moment's thought, Qin Yonggang made up his mind. He straightened his sleeves and said to Qi Xiaowei in a low voice, "Xiao Qi, how is Mayor Huang Zhengtao of Zhongyang City doing lately?"

Qi Xiaowei was slightly taken aback when he heard this. This Qin Yonggang was actually showing off his official power?

However, given the special nature of the occasion, Qi Xiaowei quickly adjusted his emotions and did not show his dissatisfaction.

He replied politely and tactfully, "Vice Mayor Qin, thank you for your concern. Mayor Huang is doing well and often comes to our 'Tianyu Base' to provide guidance."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yonggang's lips curled into a slight smile, seemingly quite satisfied with Qi Xiaowei's response. He then said earnestly, "Xiao Qi, as a member of the organization, Mayor Huang has placed high hopes on you by appointing you to such an important position as the Armed Forces Minister at the 'Tianyu Base.' You must be diligent and strive to perform well, and never let the organization down!"

Qi Xiaowei was stunned upon hearing this: "I..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Qin Yonggang shifted his focus and said to Lin Ping, "Hehe, speaking of which, I've met your commander once before. I remember your commander's surname is Ma, right?"

“Our commander’s surname is Feng, Feng Zhengyang!” Lin Ping said irritably.

"Hey! Look at my brain." Qin Yonggang patted his head and smiled with feigned annoyance. "Company Commander Lin, don't mind me. I don't have a very good memory. Commander Feng is a rising star in the army! Even my good friend General Hu Yun values ​​him highly. To be able to serve under him and to be entrusted with such an important task in this natural disaster shows that you are indeed exceptional."

"Heh." Lin Ping sneered, but to avoid ruining Chen Yu's plans, he didn't say anything more.

However, Chen Yu had already frowned at this moment. This Qin Yonggang was trying to cause trouble!

"Commander Chen, I, Qin, am extremely grateful for what you did today. Don't worry, after the natural disaster is over, I will definitely petition the higher-ups to commend you and officially promote your rank of 'General'! Haha~" Qin Yonggang said with a hearty expression.

"Hehe, then thank you very much, Vice Mayor Qin," Chen Yu said with a forced smile.

Qin Yonggang waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's just a small matter of submitting a report to my superiors, Commander Chen, you don't need to be so polite."

Suddenly, Qin Yonggang changed the subject, his face solemn, and said, "Xiao Chen, you must remember that although your initial intention in establishing the 'Tianyu Base' was good, you must not ignore the rigor and fairness of the base's internal management. In this special period, only by adhering to the organization's guidance can we ensure that every step we take is steady and that our actions conform to the interests and expectations of the masses."

"You understand what I mean, right?" Qin Yonggang's gaze was sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Chen Yu's eyes.

Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "I hope Vice Mayor Qin can explain it more clearly."

Seeing that Chen Yu was so cooperative, Qin Yonggang stopped hiding his intentions and said in a deep voice, "Although your 'Tianyu Base' has already sent officers and soldiers from our organization, Zhongyang City is, after all, a small city. Their qualifications are too shallow, their experience is limited, and they are not convincing enough to command respect. For a large survivor base like yours, it is really difficult for them to shoulder all the responsibility."

“We will have senior officials and experienced military personnel from our West City to assist you in managing the base. This will ensure that the base operates more efficiently and is more in line with the current situation.”

"This gentleman, Director Yan, is the director of our Xidu City Bureau. What do you think about sending him to your 'Militia Corps' as commander?" Qin Yonggang asked, pointing to a middle-aged man who was somewhat overweight.

"Commander Chen, hello." Director Yan stepped out of the crowd at the right moment, head held high, neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing that Chen Yu did not express his opinion, Qin Yonggang took it as Chen Yu's tacit agreement, and then introduced, "This gentleman is from my Xidu City..."

…………

Qin Yonggang introduced more than ten officials from Xidu City and identified them as holding important positions in the "Tianyu Base" and the "Anti-Cold Disaster Relief Militia Corps".

The officials who were identified all thanked Qin Yonggang obsequiously, then, with their noses in the air and faces full of arrogance, they glanced around at everyone present. Even Chen Yu was not given much attention by them.

"And then there's Zhou Xin, who has been my secretary for 13 years. He has unique insights and rich experience in handling government affairs. I propose that he serve as the administrative assistant of the 'Tianyu Base' to assist you in handling daily administrative matters and ensure the base operates more smoothly."

As Qin Yonggang finished speaking, a smug smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see the pieces he had carefully laid out playing their role in the "Tianyu Base".

Lin Lele initially stood by Chen Yu as a bystander, watching the drama unfold. But when she heard that Qin Yonggang had even arranged for an "administrative assistant" to help Chen Yu with his daily administrative affairs, she realized that Qin Yonggang was taking away her job.

A surge of anger welled up within her, and she roared, "Who do you think you are? Trying to take advantage of me? Do you even know that I am the base commander's chief secretary!"

"This... Xiao Chen, look at this, look at this!" Qin Yonggang said with a stern face, "Is this how you discipline your secretary? So impulsive and rude, she has absolutely no manners! You..."

"Secretary Lin's meaning is my meaning," Chen Yu said calmly.

"What?" Qin Yonggang frowned. "Xiao Chen, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to protect your secretary?"

"Hehe." Chen Yu smiled faintly. "Vice Mayor Qin, you've misunderstood."

At this point, Chen Yu's face turned cold: "Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at me?"
