Chapter 695: Stop Staring at Others' Plates
The atmosphere froze.
Most of the senior executives in the Central Base had grim expressions on their faces.
The air was filled with silent smoke.
The key point was that Xue Jingqiu seemed oblivious to everything. He suddenly gave an example, "Actually, the alliance led by the Central Base isn't just us. There's also the Second Alliance. Why haven't you asked them for anything?"
"Pick the softest persimmon!"
Xue Jingqiu is the deputy base commander of Shuguang City.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the base commander of Dawn City didn't care about anything else and just followed him.
It was his words that tore apart the last bit of dignity of this group of senior executives.
At the headquarters across the street, several men with strong deterrent power suddenly slammed the table and stood up—
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Want to fight, huh?"
Yan Zheng couldn't bear it any longer and stood up immediately.
The base commanders who followed the First Alliance all stood up. Not only were they surrounded by superpowers, but they also had various weapons in their hands in the blink of an eye.
The atmosphere is full of gunpowder.
The atmosphere was tense, as if a single inappropriate word could trigger a war.
Sheng Fei sat there, not saying a word, and of course not stopping it.
His cold eyes fell on the man sitting at the same table with him, and his attitude was very firm.
The location of this meeting is also very important.
Large U-shaped table.
Director Lu Ji sat at the top.
The left and right sides were filled with people.
The first two people on his left and right were Sheng Fei and another middle-aged man.
Sheng Fei knew that the person opposite him was the person in charge of the fire preservation plan at the central base.
He looked at him and opened his mouth to speak, but the other party didn't look at him. His cold gaze fell on Xue Jingqiu.
"Are you from Dawn City?"
He said calmly, "I've heard you. You said you were an alliance led by Sheng Fei. Isn't Sheng Fei from the Central Base? Aren't the resources he took out from our Central Base? You are trying to sow discord..."
"no."
Sheng Fei spoke in a deep voice.
The voice was quiet and still, but loud enough for everyone in the conference room to hear.
This is no different from being slapped in the face in public.
The man opposite suddenly turned his head and looked at Sheng Fei with eyes full of disbelief. Does he know what he is saying?
Internal strife in person?
The deputy base commander has no sense of collectivism and doesn't care about the reputation of the base?
"I'm from the Central Base, yes, but the resources didn't come from the Central Base. They were exchanged for crystal cores obtained by my team members. It has nothing to do with the Central Base at all."
“…”
Every word was so clear that it choked the middle-aged man opposite.
His face turned blue and black.
He opened his mouth subconsciously, "You..."
"Headquarters has always had two plans: preserving the fire and fighting back against the zombies. My position as deputy base commander was established at the beginning of the second plan. I understand that headquarters wants to protect you, and for the continuation of human civilization, I am willing to protect you. But this does not mean that you can cross the line and interfere with my decisions."
After Sheng Fei finished speaking, he slowly stood up.
He glanced at the group of people across from him, "I recognize you as colleagues, so I attended today, but I don't want something like this to happen again."
He supported himself on the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and looked down at the person opposite him.
"From today on, I will manage the city I conquer. Similarly, you will be responsible for the territory you guard. Everyone, do your own job well and focus less on what others have on their plates."
"I……"
"This is my stance today. Even if Director Lu Ji personally comes forward, this matter is not negotiable."
“…”
The whole audience was silent.
Compared to the tense atmosphere just now, it was even more difficult to breathe.
So, he wasn't just rejecting the results of the headquarters vote.
Or are you provoking Captain Lu?
That’s the director of the road base!
Not only does he have a comprehensive vision and far-reaching strategies, but most importantly, he possesses extraordinary abilities that are unfathomable.
Didn't I fight alongside them before?
He turned against us so easily now, even losing the face of the base commander Lu Ji?
The people at the headquarters subconsciously turned their heads and looked upwards.
Director Lu just sat there quietly. From the voting to the debate, and now to being pulled out and stepped on, his expression never changed.
He leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands on his abdomen, faced everyone's gaze, and then slowly sat up straight.
"Headquarters does have two plans, and your proposal to manage them separately is reasonable. If you don't want headquarters to be involved in decision-making, that means headquarters will provide you with limited support. Is that acceptable to you?"
"From the beginning to the end, we have never made any demands on the headquarters."
Sheng Fei's voice was light.
Captain Lu Ji nodded, then looked to the person on his right. "Do you have any objections? Or does anyone else have anything to say?"
The middle-aged man on the right was so angry that his eyes were about to twitch, but Captain Lu turned a blind eye.
"If there are no objections, let's leave it at that for now. The meeting is adjourned."
…
As soon as Captain Lu Ji walked out of the meeting room, he was caught up by someone.
It was the person on the right just now.
He was a little anxious.
His steps were quick, and his speech was also very fast. "Base Commander, why did you suddenly agree to Sheng Fei's proposal? Now that all the zombies have been eliminated, the remaining crystal cores are the common property of the headquarters. Why let him decide alone..."
"It wasn't a decision he made alone, it was a decision made jointly by the First Alliance."
Captain Lu Ji corrected him calmly without stopping.
The man still refused to give up. "That alliance is just impulsive! Our most valuable asset right now is the crystal core! If we use up all the crystal cores, what will we do if we need them in the future? Besides, the uses of the crystal cores haven't been fully developed yet. Giving them away like this would mean a loss for our Central Base!"
"He knows his limits. Just take care of your team. Don't you still have a lot of reserves?"
"What can that little reserve do?"
The man was anxious. "We're not on the front lines killing zombies, and our reserves are very limited! No, that's not the point. The point is that Sheng Fei, as the deputy base commander, didn't put the interests of the headquarters first..."
He honked all the way, anxious and excited.
He always stands on his own standpoint and wants to interfere in other people's affairs.
He actually knew that he didn't go to the front line to kill zombies?
Even the base director was a little unhappy.
But this person is also a veteran of the base and made great contributions during the zombie era.
And there are disagreements in management.
As the leader, he can allow them to reasonably fight for their rights, but he must never show obvious favoritism.
After taking a deep breath silently, he spoke and rejected his reluctance in one sentence, "Sheng Fei took away all the crystal cores yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, they are no longer in his hands."
"What??!!"
The man's voice suddenly rose in disbelief.
Then he blurted out, "How dare he make a decision on his own?! We're already self-sufficient now, so there's no need to give him this! It could have been a bargaining chip that could have improved our own situation, and now he's wasting it!"
"Improved chips?"
Captain Lu Ji paused and turned to look at him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. "Lao Gao, are you still thinking this way?"
