Chapter 657: Credibility Shaken
Casey stood up and faced the group. "I shouldn't have said this in a meeting. I was afraid I'd waste everyone's time."
"Don't say it if you shouldn't." Yao Tao yawned. "Are you addicted to meetings?"
Casey was interrupted by Yao Tao just as he was about to organize his words.
All the base commanders lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.
They also didn't trust Casey, the daughter of President Ark.
I'm just sitting here and listening to her arrangements for the sake of face.
Casey sternly shouted, "I'm talking, please don't interrupt me. It's rude to interrupt me."
"Are you polite? The first thing you did when you saw me come in was to question me, and you didn't even apologize to me." Every word Yao Tao said was as sharp as a knife.
According to Casey's private investigation, Yao Tao is straightforward, but not unreasonable.
But now Yao Tao's performance was completely beyond Casey's expectations.
"Why should I apologize to you? You accepted the mission to find the purification soil supplies, am I right?"
"Yes and no."
Casey: “…”
Every word the other party said was beyond her expectations.
A base commander asked curiously, "Boss Yao, did you accept this mission?"
"There's no mission." Yao Tao spread her hands. "Have you ever seen this mission officially announced in the mission hall?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"You're talking nonsense. This mission of yours was already signed with the authorities. Stop confusing people here." Casey interrupted.
Yao Tao pulled a contract out of her backpack and threw it on the table. "I brought the official contract. Let's take a look at what it says."
Those who are interested can take the contract.
It was discovered that it was the contract for Yao Tao to purchase land. The transaction price was ten tons of purified soil, to be delivered in installments over a period of seventy years.
Yao Tao pointed at the contract and said, "It says it's to be paid in installments. Is there something wrong with my eyes? Why are you urging me to go out and find the Purifying Soil now?"
"The laboratory is going to expand the scale of cultivation recently and urgently needs purified soil. I want you to gather these ten tons as soon as possible. Is there any problem?" Casey didn't realize the problem at this time.
Yao Tao smiled and waved the contract in front of everyone. "Did you all hear that? Officially, a contract is like a piece of waste paper."
Everyone looked solemn.
Officials represent absolute power and reliability.
The contracts signed between the survivors and the authorities cannot guarantee their safety. The contents of the contracts can be changed at will. It is entirely up to the authorities to decide, and the survivors have to run around for a long time.
How can they trust the authorities after this?
The staff at the venue noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and they wanted to remind Casey.
Casey didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. "This is an official mission. How dare you refuse?"
"Of course I wouldn't dare. How could I dare go against the authorities?" Yao Tao feigned fear. "Who knows, one day you might turn against me and think I've made a lot of money on the Ark, and you might just confiscate my shop and all my money... I wouldn't even have time to cry then."
This is also a concern for others.
The official Ark is different from the official before the end of the world.
The rules and laws of the end times are particularly fragile and cannot withstand temptation.
Once you leave the Ark, it's completely the law of the jungle.
Only within the Ark is there the so-called human society.
Yao Tao threw the contract on the table. "But I believe the authorities will definitely not do such a thing. The problem is only with certain people."
"What do you mean?" Casey demanded.
"You're using the official title to suppress me. You're after the base supplies I have."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone took a deep breath.
Base supplies are these people's greatest reliance.
Without supplies, the team will lose its combat effectiveness.
Yao Tao opened a shop in the Ark and her business was booming, which was bound to arouse some people's envy.
Could it be...
Does Miss Casey really want to use her father's name to take advantage of the supplies in Boss Yao's hands?
If President Fang Ark knew about this and acquiesced...
That would be a really big problem.
The Ark President represents the official.
The authorities denied the contracts they had previously signed with the survivors and unilaterally forced the survivors to comply with them.
No one wants something like this to happen to him or her one day.
The hearts of all the base commanders present were deeply touched.
Now this Ark President... doesn't seem very reliable.
