At that time, the laboratory and the Security Bureau were at war, and the local city leader was unfortunately killed. Coincidentally, a strange spirit was at work, and the city was leaderless. Upon learning that there was another seventh-level awakener in the city, he was "forced" to be put in the position of acting city leader.
"We are seventh-level awakeners after all. The Security Bureau shouldn't do this, right?"
"Quite a few level sevens died in this war!"
“…”
"Okay, everyone, stop speculating. We are all at the seventh level of the Immortal Realm. How can we be so timid? Wait until the leaders from the headquarters come and see what they say." Someone interrupted this meaningless speculation.
When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be true.
Although they have made some minor mistakes, they are very cautious on some principled issues and have never made major mistakes.
There shouldn't be any retribution later!
At most, you will be beaten and knocked.
"By the way, there is still one person who hasn't arrived. What's his name? There are so many of us waiting for him?" An awakened person tilted his head curiously and looked at an empty seat in front of him.
"I heard from the staff that there are eight people this time, and one is missing... I think his name is Qiao Yuan."
"Who is this Qiao Yuan? He's so arrogant! And he dares to show up at the exact time headquarters summoned him?"
"Don't talk nonsense. This guy's military achievements are amazing. Do you know about the decisive battle in Zhou City? He was the first to contribute!"
hiss~
Everyone raised their eyebrows. Of course they knew about the war in Zhou City.
It was precisely because the Security Bureau won that they rushed here for a meeting after receiving the call from headquarters.
If the Security Bureau had failed, they would probably be holding a meeting now, but in their laboratory nest.
In short, everyone here has always maintained a position of not offending either side in the war between the laboratory and the Security Bureau.
But now… the dust has settled, and it’s time to lean towards one side or the other.
Therefore, even if they don’t know what the meeting is about, they must maintain a correct attitude.
"Have you seen him?"
"Not really, it's just that he has a great reputation."
"Is the first achievement so great? You are so proud of yourself and your attitude is problematic!" A seventh-level awakener snorted twice.
…
Crunch
Just at this moment, the door opened and an extremely oppressive figure walked in.
Everyone's expression froze, and then they stood up.
This clothes, this momentum, this thermos cup...
It must be the leader from headquarters!
The seven people bowed slightly to the figure to show their sincerity.
So what if he is a seventh-level awakener? In front of the state machine, nothing can compare to him.
If the headquarters really wants to target them, there are at least a dozen ways to do it!
The laboratory is now on the decline, and the attitude towards the authorities cannot be the same as before.
Qiao Yuan was stunned.
We are all invited to a meeting together, are you all so polite?
Do you have to bow when you meet someone?
Qiao Yuan has always believed that respect is mutual. If others are so polite, he should not put on airs.
He immediately bent down slightly.
…
However, just as Qiao Yuan bent down, the bodies of several other seventh-level awakeners shook, and the amplitude suddenly increased.
Qiao Yuan: “???????”
This... is a bit unnecessary, right?
Are all seventh-level awakeners so polite now?
Qiao Yuan also bent down again.
Seeing this, the other people bent their waists to 90 degrees this time.
Even if you come with a protractor, it is still standard!
!
This won’t do. If I keep going like this, will the other party kowtow to me a few more times?
"Everyone, stop bowing and sit down."
Everyone took their seats in an orderly manner.
…
Qiao Yuan chose an empty seat and sat down. He opened the thermos, blew away the hot steam, and took a sip of water.
Pah
Spit out the date pit.
When I looked up, I found that everyone was sitting upright, no longer as relaxed as before.
What's going on?
Qiao Yuan put down the thermos.
The atmosphere was too serious, and Qiao Yuan didn't know how to start for a moment, so he could only choose to wait.
However, when others saw Qiao Yuan like this, they felt extremely stressed, inexplicably tense and suffocated.
Why doesn’t this leader from headquarters speak?
Did he do it on purpose?
Is he waiting for me to confess?
This... seems very official!
Countless thoughts emerged from the minds of these seventh-level awakeners.
"I confess that I became the acting head for selfish reasons, but it was mainly because I was nominated by the masses below. I was forced to do so. Now that the situation has stabilized, I will step down and let others take over." Li Hua, who was wearing a suit, took the lead in speaking.
For a moment, everyone felt insecure.
"I'll be honest. I previously helped the younger generation of my family establish connections and gained some benefits locally..."
"I confess..."
“…”
The seventh-level awakeners confessed one after another and recounted their crimes.
Qiao Yuan: “????”
What the hell? Wasn't this a meeting? How did it turn into a confession?
Finally, everyone's eyes were on him.
Are you going to confess yourself?
Could it be that he concealed his position as vice president or was discovered to have embezzled materials?
That's impossible. I did it very secretly and the report I submitted to the higher-ups was flawless.
"Ahem... Everyone makes mistakes in life. Making mistakes isn't scary, what's scary is not correcting them. You're all pretty good."
“…”
Qiao Yuan casually said some irrelevant words, but in short, it was impossible for him to confess.
The awakened ones looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this matter is over!
…
Not long after, the door was pushed open again.
Another man walked into the meeting room.
"Haha, some people are so arrogant that they come here to check out the place, but they don't even give the headquarters any face?" A seventh-level awakener said without raising his head.
A total of eight grassroots awakening figures were invited to this conference.
Now there are seven of them, and the leaders from the headquarters have also arrived, except for the popular Qiao Yuan.
So it was clear without even looking that the awakened person coming in was Qiao Yuan.
"He's so proud of himself that anyone who doesn't know him would think he's the head of headquarters!"
“…”
Everyone started to get sarcastic.
Qiao Yuan's eyes narrowed and he quickly stood up.
"Leader, some people need to be disciplined. Don't think you can defy the law just because you've done a little bit of good!"
"That's right, maybe it's just good luck..."
“…”
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Wei Wu, head of the headquarters: "..."
