When Shen Qingzhu finished his last sentence, the temperature in the conference room seemed to drop a little.
Everyone present looked at each other and whispered something. After a moment, one of them spoke:
"Agent Shen, please give us some more time to discuss this."
"No problem." Shen Qingzhu closed the document in front of him, "Then let's take a ten-minute break, and then proceed to the seventh vote by raising hands."
After he finished speaking, Shen Qingzhu stood up, pushed the door open and walked out.
The discussion and quarrel in the conference room started again, but he seemed not to hear it. He walked straight to the corridor, took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it, looked at the gray sky in the distance, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke...
"Brother Qingzhu, this is the sixth time... haven't they reached a consensus yet?" Wuquan walked up to him and asked with a frown.
"Um."
“You and Brother Qiye discussed this plan for such a long time before finalizing it. How come so many problems arise when it comes to them?” Wuquan narrowed his eyes slightly. “They may not understand what Daxia is about to face... If Monk Fate was here, he would have killed them long ago...”
"Their standpoints on the problem are different from ours, so it's inevitable that they have different opinions." Shen Qingzhu flicked the ash from his cigarette and said calmly, "Wuquan, we can turn our anger into strength and use it to kill the enemy... but we can't do that to them.
If we can't even mediate the conflicts within Daxia, then why should we fight against Ke Xi?"
Wu Quan looked at Shen Qingzhu's calm profile and stood there in a daze.
Shen Qingzhu held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at him, "What are you looking at?"
"No, I just think that you have changed a lot, Brother Qingzhu..." Wuquan smiled helplessly, "If it were in the past, you would definitely be the first person to lift the table with a knife."
Shen Qingzhu was silent for a moment, as if he recalled something, and exhaled a puff of light smoke...
"When you grow up, you will understand."
He checked the time, put out the cigarette in his hand, and was about to turn around and walk into the meeting room when he saw a figure walking towards him at the end of the corridor and was slightly startled.
"When did you come back?"
"Just now." Lin Qiye smiled, "I heard from Junliang that you were having a meeting here, so I came here on the way."
"I'm back just in time..." Shen Qingzhu rubbed his nose and said tiredly, "You go negotiate with them... I've been stuck in this little room for two days and I'm about to vomit."
Shen Qingzhu glanced behind Lin Qiye.
“Who are these people…?”
"I haven't introduced them to you yet." Lin Qiye stepped aside and introduced them one by one.
"This is Nyx, the goddess of night. The one next to her is Jinyi, the president of Shangxie Society. You have seen both of them. This is Athena, the goddess of war, and this is Artemis, the goddess of hunting... Oh, by the way, we need someone to connect with Shenlong Pass. Several special envoys of Shangxie Society are almost here, and Utopia is also on the way. We will provide the living resources for hundreds of thousands of people... The confidential data files in the archives of Shangxie Society also need people from the Intelligence Department to copy them..."
Listening to Lin Qiye's description, Shen Qingzhu's expression gradually became strange.
Are you bringing all the people from Shangxiehui back? !
There is also a supreme god, three main gods... Didn't they say they were just going to Antarctica for a visit? Why did they bring back so many foreign aids? ?
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Shen Qingzhu said nothing and hurried towards the office. The workload was enough to keep him busy for several days.
Lin Qiye turned around and was about to walk into the conference room when he suddenly discovered that the discussion in the conference room had stopped at some point. Everyone was looking at Nix and the others outside the door, their mouths slightly open and their eyes full of shock.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm a little late." Lin Qiye said seriously, "Let me introduce you to..."
"No, no need for introductions...we've heard it."
"Yes, Commander Lin is really amazing. He brought so many foreign aids to Daxia at once."
"Having Commander Lin in charge of Daxia is indeed reassuring."
“…”
Lin Qiye smiled politely, but then the smile quickly disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.
He slowly sat down in the middle chair, an inexplicable aura emanating from him. Although he did not mobilize any divine power, his deep eyes were full of sharpness and majesty.
After Lin Qiye sat down, the entire conference room fell silent.
There were also high-level members of the Shangxie Society present, and they all looked a little surprised... I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the current Lin Qiye seemed to be different from before.
"Then, the seventh vote on the 'Winter Plan' will begin." Lin Qiye glanced at the meeting notes made by Shen Qingzhu in the file, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Finally, let me add that the 'Winter' plan is the final plan selected after countless discussions between me and the Night's Watch leaders. It is also the only plan that can protect the people of Daxia to the greatest extent... If anyone has objections to this plan, you can raise it now to avoid wasting everyone's time after it is voted down."
Everyone hesitated for a moment, but no one spoke. The meeting room was so quiet that you could hear everyone's breathing.
"Okay... let's start the vote now." Lin Qiye said calmly, "Those who agree to pass the 'Winter Plan' proposal, please raise your hands."
After a brief silence, hands were raised one after another. Although there were still a few people who did not raise their hands, the number of people who passed already accounted for the majority.
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
"Eleven votes in favor... The 'Winter Plan' proposal has been passed. Let's adjourn the meeting."
Lin Qiye put away the documents on the conference table, stood up and walked out of the room. Jinian, who was standing next to him, was leaning against the corridor, bored, and couldn't help yawning several times.
"So I still prefer Utopia... It's not like you guys, where getting things done is so troublesome."
"Daxia has a large population. Any decision made by the top leaders will affect the lives of countless people. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be cautious." Lin Qiye turned to look at Nyx, "Mother, you two can go around Daxia first. I still have some things to do..."
"Go ahead and don't worry about us." Nyx smiled gently, "Come to me anytime you need me."
"Um."
Lin Qiye did not return to his office, but turned into a stream of light and flew away.
…
Kunlun Mountains.
temple.
In front of the messy chessboard, the fateful monk who was meditating seemed to have noticed something and looked up in the direction of the mountain road.
