Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

By that time, the fire chief, without his power, will be even less noticeable.

Even if a middle-aged man uses some extreme means, no one will say anything.

If you really make the middle-aged man angry, you never know when a word from him will leak the news to the fire chief without anyone knowing, and he can easily make up a charge of sudden death or absconding from the crime to get away with it.

And people outside won’t care at all, and the fire chief will quietly disappear in this tacit understanding, as if he had never appeared.

Under such foreseeable consequences, the fire chief dared to kneel down to the middle-aged man now, which was really equivalent to risking his own life and property to admit his mistake to the middle-aged man.

If the middle-aged man still doesn't forgive him, then he really has no choice but to die.

Except for a few representatives from major forces in Hedong, the faces of the other onlookers turned serious involuntarily, and some even frowned tightly.

They did this for no other reason than that they felt the same way.

In terms of status and power, those standing here are actually on par with the fire chief, or even slightly inferior to the fire chief.

So when they saw the fire chief being forced to kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness from the middle-aged man because he said the wrong thing, and that he was doomed to have a miserable end if he was not forgiven, they couldn't help but feel sympathetic.

The scene before them made them involuntarily associate. Even the fire chief who had stood in Hedong for so many years and had a deep foundation could easily end up in such a miserable way just because of saying the wrong thing at a moment's notice. What if it happened to them?

Will they definitely have a better ending than the fire chief?

As soon as they had this thought, they couldn't help but feel a strong sympathy for the fire chief. They couldn't help but think of themselves, and became even more depressed.

After working hard in Hedong for so many years, enduring countless contempts, and spending countless blood and sweat, I finally gained my current position of power.

They had already reached the shore and could have relaxed a little and watched the clouds roll by, but who could have thought that a single wrong word would lead to such a tragic end? How could they not be frightened and feel sympathy for the fire chief?

It was precisely because of this mentality that their eyes occasionally changed slightly when they looked at the middle-aged man. They became evasive and mixed with a bit of vigilance.

The middle-aged man was very sensitive to their gazes, and his anger became even more intense.

As the assistant to the chairman of the parliament, he has been able to survive in a parliament full of old foxes. He has fought against countless middle-aged men who coveted his position and wanted to step on him. He has already mastered the skill of observing people's words and expressions through countless intrigues.

The middle-aged man could roughly guess what an ordinary person was thinking just by looking at him or saying a few words.

And now it is so obvious in front of everyone, how could the middle-aged man not guess it?

Obviously, because of the fate of the fire chief, these people have begun to fear and be vigilant towards middle-aged men, fearing that he will catch their mistakes at any time and cause them to suffer the same fate.

It was their reaction that made the middle-aged man even more angry.

Now he had already been severely scolded by Pei Xingchen, and was forced to be unable to fight back due to his status as a member of the Pei family, which led to a decline in his prestige.

If he rashly punishes the fire chief and causes everyone present to become alienated from him, then the middle-aged man's future will be cast into a thick shadow.

The reason is simple. If everyone present becomes wary of the fire chief because of what happened to him, then the middle-aged man's reputation and popularity in parliament will inevitably decline, and he may even receive considerable negative reviews.

This will inevitably affect the middle-aged man's master, the chairman of the parliament, and will cause him to have some negative views.

The reason is very clear. The middle-aged man is not the chairman of the parliament, nor is he a member of the parliament. He is just an assistant.

Even though his power is no less than that of a congressman, he is ultimately just an assistant.

If a middle-aged man is a member of parliament, he can have his own personality and temper. Because if you are in that position, you must show some characteristics to attract people's attention, even if they are negative traits. The most feared thing is to be forgotten by others because you are mediocre and have no characteristics.

Even if he has a bad reputation, is unpopular and has no members, as long as he holds the power of a legislator, more people will continue to come to make friends with him and spontaneously defend him driven by their own interests.

But the middle-aged man was not a member of parliament, he was just an assistant, and an assistant to the chairman of the parliament.

As an assistant to the Parliament Chairman, all his power comes from the Parliament Chairman behind him, which is what makes him different from the parliamentarians.

The power of the congressmen comes from themselves. They themselves are towering trees, and the middle-aged man is essentially a vine entwined around the tree.

It is precisely because of this that when he goes out, he is not representing himself, but the master behind him, the Chairman of the Parliament.

As the leader of dozens of members of parliament, the Chairman of Parliament must balance the complex and fierce struggles within the parliament. This means that the Chairman of Parliament cannot be too aggressive and must maintain good relationships with every member of parliament and have a good image in order to consolidate his foundation.

However, if his middle-aged assistant's reputation in the entire parliament is damaged and his popularity is very bad because of his handling of the fire chief, then this bad reputation will sooner or later spread to the chairman of the parliament, thus affecting the image of the chairman of the parliament.

This is when things get serious.

Once the image of the Speaker of Parliament is damaged, all the work he has done in Parliament will be questioned, because the MPs are likely to suspect that some of the things the Speaker of Parliament did before were disguised. In this case, the MPs are likely to make trouble, and the balance that the Speaker of Parliament has worked so hard to maintain will be broken in an instant, and the Parliament will become turbulent again.

When the time comes, how will the Chairman of Parliament treat the middle-aged man who is the culprit?

It’s a good thing that you didn’t eat him!
