"Hello, hello, hello~" Chen Yu sat down in his seat and, after making sure his voice was clear, slowly spoke.

"First of all, many of you may not be very familiar with me. I am Chen Yu, the founder of 'Tianyu Base', and also the supreme commander of Tianyu Base."

"Clap clap clap clap clap~" Enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference room, echoing for a long time in the tall and bright conference room.

Chen Yu raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, a humble yet firm smile on his face. "Thank you all for your warm welcome; this enthusiasm is truly encouraging," he continued, his voice clear and powerful, penetrating every corner.

"I know that every step of Tianyu Base's development is inseparable from the hard work and selfless dedication of everyone present. You are the soul of this base and the driving force that propels us forward." Chen Yu's gaze swept across the entire room, filled with gratitude and respect.

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap~" Applause rang out again.

Chen Yu remained silent, then raised his hand again to signal. This time, the applause gradually subsided.

"I'm glad you agree with me, but from now on, I hope you won't interrupt me anymore. Just applaud silently in your hearts, okay?" Chen Yu paused and glanced at everyone.

He then continued, "Today, I've gathered everyone here primarily to understand the base's development over this period. As you all know, I've been away for some time now, and the base's progress to where it is today is entirely due to everyone's hard work and tireless efforts. Now, I hope to hear everyone's voice, whether it's about successful experiences or challenges we face; please feel free to share."

At this point, Chen Yu looked at Li Xiubo: "Chairman Li, during my absence, we relied entirely on you to lead the work. On behalf of all members of the base, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. Your leadership and stabilizing role are the cornerstones for the smooth operation of the base. Please tell us about the significant progress the base has made during this period, as well as the main challenges we face."

Li Xiubai stood up, his expression humble yet solemn. He nodded slightly to Chen Yu in gratitude, then turned to the entire room, his voice steady and powerful: "Under the leadership of the organization and various levels of government, our 'Tianyu Base' has achieved..."

…………

"I believe that under the leadership of the organization and government departments at all levels, and with the concerted efforts of all my colleagues, our 'Tianyu Base' will surely achieve even greater success and overcome this unprecedented natural disaster!"

That concludes my remarks. Thank you everyone.

As soon as Li Xiubai finished speaking, thunderous applause rang out again in the conference room.

Chen Yu stopped everyone, gave Li Xiubai a meaningful look, and then said, "I want to emphasize again that since you all work for my 'Tianyu Base' and have chosen to become members of the base, you must always put the base first. Our base has grown from nothing to something, from weak to strong, thanks to everyone's efforts. It has developed on the foundation of my Tianyu Group, not by the charity of other groups!"

"Clap clap clap~" This time, only one person applauded, and that was Lin Lele, who was sitting behind the podium.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat awkward.

However, as she clapped, Feng Xinran and others joined in one after another, and eventually the entire conference room resounded with applause, although it was not as enthusiastic as before.

"Chen Yu, I don't agree with your point of view!" Xu Long suddenly spoke up. "Without the support and guidance of the organization and government departments at all levels, the 'Tianyu Base' could not have developed to where it is today, let alone maintain such strong cohesion in the face of various crises. Now that the base has developed, we should cherish this external assistance even more, instead of simply emphasizing self-reliance."

"Oh?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. "Minister Xu, in what capacity are you speaking to me now? Are you the honorary minister of the armed forces department of my 'Tianyu Base,' or the director of the municipal government office?"

"I am speaking as a representative of the base members!" Xu Long declared righteously.

"Heh, interesting." Chen Yu sneered.

"Chen Yu, your thinking is extremely dangerous!" Xu Long's voice echoed in the conference room. He took a deep breath and continued, "I think you are no longer suitable to stay in the position of leader of 'Tianyu Base'."

"Since everyone is here today, I suggest that 'Tianyu Base' hold a new election to select a more open, inclusive leader who can guide us toward common prosperity." Xu Long's words were filled with unwavering determination.

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

"Xu Long, who do you think you are? How dare you spout such nonsense here!" Lin Lele suddenly stood up, her voice sharp and angry, without the slightest bit of politeness.

“Minister Xu, you are only the honorary minister of the base’s armed forces department. I hope you will watch your words!” Feng Xinran said in a deep voice.

"General Chen serving as the supreme commander of the base was decided at the very beginning of our base's establishment, and there is no room for doubt about it!" Wei Hongbo firmly stood on Chen Yu's side.

The audience members also expressed their opinions, with some condemning Xu Long and others supporting a new election.

For a moment, the entire venue was engulfed in heated debate and disagreement, with a tense and complex atmosphere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a meeting hall, not a vegetable market," Chen Yu's voice rang out through the microphone.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and refocused their attention on Chen Yu.

Chen Yu sat quietly on the platform, his deep gaze sweeping over everyone. His face was expressionless, but his eyes seemed to see into people's hearts.

He turned his head to look at Li Xiubai and said calmly, "Chairman Li, I would like to hear your opinion."

Li Xiubo remained silent for a moment after hearing this, then slowly spoke, saying, "Our 'Tianyu Base' has always upheld fairness and democracy as its core values. As the base has grown and the number of members has increased, the original structure and decision-making methods may no longer be fully adapted to the current complex situation. Therefore, I believe that we should support Minister Xu's proposal for a re-election!"

“President Chen, your contributions to the establishment of the ‘Tianyu Base’ are evident to all. I believe that even if there is a re-election, it will only be a formality! In this way, it will be more conducive to the unity of the base, don’t you think?” Li Xiubai said with a smile.

"Hehe." Chen Yu smiled faintly, "Alright, it's your way."

He thought to himself, "Since you want to play, I'll play along. 'Tianyu Base' really needs a good cleanup!"
