Chapter 4: Even the dog gets slapped twice
The two of them fell into a strange silence until they arrived at the government hall. This place was much more luxurious than the ground base where they landed the long-distance starship in midsummer.
From the outside, there is not only a huge fountain garden pool on the outside, but the top floor is also designed in a very modern style with a therapeutic fountain and swimming pool in the shape of a long-distance starship spanning the 27th floor, which is extremely enjoyable.
"What do we do now?"
Before Wei Jie finished speaking, Sheng Xia took a look at the government hall outside, and directly activated two drones in the car and fired smoke bombs towards the interior of the government hall. Sure enough, as soon as the two drones approached the gate of the government hall, a huge alarm sounded inside, and then the protective gate began to slowly fall.
While Wei Jie was stunned, Sheng Xia, who was sitting in the passenger seat of his car, looked at him calmly and said, "Swipe the card."
Wei Jie: ???
"I told you to swipe your government card to take the two of us in."
Wei Jie hurriedly swiped his card, then, at Shengxia's beckoning, drove into the government affairs hall.
What is this for?
The next second, Wei Jie understood what Shengxia wanted to do. He saw that the members of the federal security team and the corresponding planetary media interviewers were almost all coming here. It was obvious that the reason why Shengxia chose to "attack" here was to announce her arrival to everyone and all forces on this planet in a high-profile manner.
But why did she suddenly point the gun at his temple?
Before Wei Jie could react, Sheng Xia said, "Get out of the car."
"It's not me…" "It won't be long."
Wei Jie: ...
There was no other way, he resigned himself to his fate and raised his hands. Under the gunpoint of all the federal security team members, he slowly got out of the car like a hostage held by Shengxia.
Seeing the weapons of the attack helicopters and even the warships anchored outside the planet pointed at him, Wei Jie looked hopeless and said, "Is it really okay for you to use me as a human shield like this?"
If the gun goes off accidentally, he might really be gone. Not only him, but Shengxia behind him would probably be gone as well.
But Wei Jie still underestimated Sheng Xia's methods. After about fifteen seconds of silent confrontation, a voice suddenly came from the government hall: "The security code has been handed over. Welcome to the new planetary commander." At this time, Sheng Xia also picked up the micro-loudspeaker at hand and shouted sternly at the federal security team members:
"You dare to raise your guns at the Federation's specially assigned planetary commander. Do you want to be shot instantly?"
With a loud bang, before Sheng Xia could finish her words, the muzzles of all the weapons in front of her suddenly slid downwards. It was so uniform that Wei Jie felt that he had really opened his eyes.
Soon, the captain of the federal security team and the highest person in charge of the federal security team also hurriedly ran towards Shengxia from the scattered federal security team.
"Hurry, put down your gun, and stop recording. It turns out you've arrived, and why didn't you notify us?"
Facing the servile and groveling jokes of the top officer of the Federal Security Team and the sullen-faced captain, Sheng Xia chuckled and casually put away her weapon, her eyes fixed on the captain. "I thought I had already been reported as a missing person."
"How...how could that be?"
But Sheng Xia ignored the highest person in charge of the Federal Security Team, and instead hooked his finger at the captain of the Federal Security Team to signal him to come over.
The captain of the federal security team was suddenly at a loss, but at the signal from the highest leader, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move closer to Shengxia. He slowly lowered his head as she indicated and actively stretched his ear over.
"Send every penny you receive from the two gangs to my office. Understood?"
The captain of the federal security team was startled and subconsciously looked at Wei Jie standing next to him. At the same time, he could only mutter in a low voice: "Yes..."
When Wei Jie saw this scene, he just wanted to faint. No, it really wasn't that... He was just an employee. Who had he offended? Even if he jumped into the Milky Way, people in the entire star field would probably think that he and the new planet commander were deeply tied together.
Oh my god... let him die.
But just as he finished thinking about this, he heard Shengxia say, "Wei Jie, Wei Jie, follow me in!"
Wei Jie: ...No, I really...what have I done to deserve this? ! !
In the end, this farce of the planetary commander hijacking the government hall of his own planet came to an end with the news headline "New Planetary Commander Temporarily Inspects the Emergency Mobilization Capabilities of the Federal Security Team".
On Starnet, this news started to dominate the screen with unexpected popularity:
As expected of Volker, a planet known for its gathering of evil spirits, even the planetary commander's appointment method is so unique.
[So the Federation only sent one planetary commander to Planet Volk this time?]
[Is the Federation finally going to give up Planet Volk?]
【It is said that he is the temporary planet commander】
[It's temporary, so the independence of Planet Volker should be not far away.]
[Hahahaha, I didn’t expect to witness history]
[No, this garbage planet will become even more threatening after it becomes independent. I’m afraid of this garbage planet.]
…
As the debate raged on Starnet, the staff in the government hall, who had been working for over twelve hours straight, couldn't help but lament:
"Isn't she just a temporary commander? Why is she risking her life?"
"Yeah, it's been twelve hours since she first stepped into this building. Ah, I miss my warm pool!!!"
"Ahhh, I can't stand this anymore. How about we all go and assassinate her together? We can't keep working like this."
"Shhh."
Suddenly, someone rushed up and covered the mouth of his colleague and warned him not to say anything carelessly. The surveillance system of the entire building has been turned on. The last person who said he wanted to assassinate her... I heard that he was thrown out of the government hall, and even the door card was destroyed.
"Is she so overbearing? No, isn't she afraid of our collective strike and march?"
"Can you bear with me for a few days? I have a feeling that this new planetary commander is no ordinary person."
"How could she be so extraordinary? She was just a temporary employee who was transferred away after two years. Why is she giving us so much trouble?"
"Look at Wei Jie, the boss of our department. He has been going up and down the stairs for twelve hours straight. How pitiful. Tsk tsk tsk."
At the same time, in Shengxia's temporary office, looking at the mess of report data and documents, Shengxia exclaimed, "This is a bunch of complete losers." Not only was the argument process fabricated, but even the previous data was falsified in order to prove the final result.
"Investigate, keep investigating. If five years isn't enough, investigate for ten. If ten isn't enough, investigate for twenty."
When Wei Jie heard Sheng Xia say this, his legs almost gave way and he fell to the ground. Not to mention other people, even he couldn't figure it out. Wasn't Sheng Xia just a temporary planet commander? If everything she did in the early stage was to save her life, then he could understand why she made such a big scene.
You can check the accounts, taxes, foreign trade status, social welfare expenditures... There are so many things to check, and it takes a full twelve hours to check.
You have to know that the normal working hours for all the people in the government hall are only about four hours, and these four hours even include the time spent on the rooftop for hot spring treatments. Now that there is such a huge amount of work to do, a strike and uprising are imminent.
Wei Jie felt that he had to remind Sheng Xia, but Sheng Xia turned around and pointed out the names of some people from several departments and asked him to go downstairs and call all these people up.
Wei Jie listened carefully to the names of these people and found that they were all relatives of some important bigwigs. He couldn't help but lower his head and shook his head at Sheng Xia: "You shouldn't be so radical in your actions."
"It's not radical. I'm going to let them go up to the hot springs."
Wei Jie: ??? My conscience suddenly struck me. This shouldn’t be happening.
Three minutes later, these people who had finally seen the light of day were enjoying a rare rest and freedom at the hot spring terrace. They complained about Shengxia's radical tactics and lamented that if such radical tactics continued, they would definitely file a collective complaint with the federal government.
"You guys are really interesting. You actually think the Federation can take charge of things here."
Suddenly, Shengxia blurted out a word. At this moment, the free speech hot spring platform was like a homeroom teacher who appeared quietly at school, frightening everyone so much that they turned around and looked at her.
Meanwhile, Shengxia was still able to glance at them one by one with a faint smile, until she made everyone feel particularly uncomfortable. Then she turned around, found a recliner, and sat down with a cool air:
"Forget it! Whether it's a collective strike, threatening me with your parents, or writing a complaint letter to the federal government, none of these methods will work on me. Oh, and of course, you can also choose to assassinate me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the muzzles of the drones beside the hot spring platform were instantly pointed at them. Shengxia actually laughed devilishly at this moment: "The premise is that you can really do it."
Soon, the timid one was the first to raise his hands in silence and surrender. Shengxia did not make things difficult for him. She motioned him to come over and write down the hours he could work at full capacity and the benefits he requested. She then told him to remember to report home that he was safe and that he had work to do overtime, and then he could leave.
"Aren't you worried that we might say something wrong when we report our safety?" Of course, there are timid ones and bold ones, such as the eldest son of the largest arms dealer in the area.
But to his surprise, Shengxia not only found him quickly and accurately in the crowd, but also accurately memorized his social connections and declared that if his father dared to fire even a single shot at the government hall, the warships anchored outside the planet would instantly lock onto the location of his father and his entire family and drop bombs.
"I mean what I say. After all, counter-terrorism only requires a list of names and precise coordinates."
"You will cause social unrest."
"Who's causing the unrest? You, your father's subordinate. Are you sure that if your family is officially raided, others won't take advantage of the opportunity to grab everything you originally owned? By then, it won't just be your sworn enemies, but also a huge group of people waiting behind you."
Facing Shengxia's sincere gaze, the arms dealer's eldest son obviously... could not refute. After all, the forces in this land were intertwined and complicated, and everyone was eager to find an opportunity to bite off a piece of the other party's flesh. Now it only seemed to be balanced.
The existence of the planet commander is likely to break this balance in a minute. As expected, it is better not to confront the commander head-on.
After thinking this, he quickly woke up, with a grin on his face:
"Well, you did threaten me, and I will obey your orders."
"You're welcome. You're smarter than I thought. Those who are capable should do more work. I'll start your workday at eight hours."
Shengxia's ability to quickly connect the dots made everyone around her want to laugh but didn't dare to. However, after this incident, no one dared to question Shengxia anymore. Everyone signed their work hours and benefits like obedient little lambs and went downstairs.
Of course, there were also those who tried to curry favor with Shengxia, but as soon as Shengxia's clear eyes glanced at them, they felt that they had met a tough opponent and could only retreat reluctantly.
However, when Wei Jie went upstairs to check on the situation, he was shocked. Oh my God, this group of people with connections who were usually fearless were actually dealt with by Shengxia at once?
Just now when he saw the drone aimed at the hot spring terrace, he thought there would be blood. Now... everyone is working overtime "voluntarily"?
The sun really rose from the west.
"The captain of the security team is waiting for you, and there are a large number of people who also want to meet with you."
Sheng Xia turned to look at Wei Jie and said, "I can meet with the captain of the security team. As for the others who want to see me, let them work out a time and order among themselves."
"It's not good for you to go too far." Wei Jie always felt that when he was with Sheng Xia, he was always holding his head in his hands.
"Is that too much? Why didn't they stand up to stop me when I was dismantling my long-distance starship?"
At this point, the intention of the hint is already very obvious, but Wei Jie always feels that Sheng Xia is just looking for trouble, not really attaching great importance to his long-distance starship.
But at the moment, neither the Black Smoke Gang nor the White Saltpeter Gang is willing to step forward and deal with them first. Sigh...
After thinking about it, Wei Jie decided that he should first strengthen the security system of the government hall, as it was likely that the corresponding assassins would be in place soon.
