Chapter 218 – Celebration Party

Linghuang Mountain, the demon committee called it the battle of No. [-] mountain. Even if there were no exciting results, but since the army has been dispatched, it is now time to reward the meritorious deeds.

To be honest, perhaps it is precisely because of the few achievements that one needs a big reward.At best, this is called boosting morale; at worst, the battle has already been fought, and we can’t let everyone make this trip in vain. If we don’t get any benefit in the end, who will work for the demon committee in the future? Working hard?

Now that the theme has been decided, Luo Chenzhen, the head of the General Affairs Department, still put a lot of effort into the layout of the venue.The main body of the headquarters auditorium is white, and some golden decorations are used just right. This woman's aesthetic vision is indeed good, and she can guarantee a sufficient grand atmosphere without being out of the ordinary.Because this battle did not cause too many casualties, there is no need to prepare white flowers for commemoration, which saves a lot of trouble.

The decoration part is not a big problem, the problem that really worries Luo Chenzhen is the seating arrangement.

According to common sense, the generals and soldiers participating in the war should sit under the rostrum one by one, and then come to the stage when the rewards are issued.In other words, Bai Xinyue also sat down.So here comes the question, the chief of the group of seven is sitting at the bottom, who should be arranged on the rostrum?

If the current chairman Bai is still the mascot with the word "honor" on it, it would not be too abrupt to let the chairman of the rotating parliament who is actually in power sit on it, but the terrible thing is that the current power structure of the demon council It has changed, two cores, two parallel real power figures.In this case, even if Zhuang Jin is invited to the seat, he should avoid suspicion with his prudence and thoughtfulness.

In fact, there is another way, that is, neither of the two bosses should go to the rostrum, and only one seat for the host will be set above.

It doesn't seem to be difficult at all to choose a suitable host. The easiest way is to invite the previous rotating chairman.According to the regulations of the Demon Committee, the chairman is changed every three years, and in order to prevent the replaced chairman from continuing to dictate the affairs of the Demon Committee, he needs to be forced to retire.

Such a candidate is simply a great gift from God to Luo Chenzhen to solve the problem. His status is in the past, and he will not pose a threat to those in power now.

So Luo Chenzhen began to contact the former president Guan Hai.However, Luo Chenzhen was stunned by the result of the contact - she couldn't get in touch!After wasting two whole days, Guan Hai couldn't be contacted!In this era of extremely developed communication, there are still people who can't be contacted?Luo Chenzhen seriously suspected that the former president had either entered the coffin or went to outer space, in short, he was no longer on the earth.

This is not appropriate, and that is not acceptable. Luo Chenzhen, who had nothing to do with it, decided to set up a long curved table on the presidium, and put all the people who should be there.

On the one hand, Zhuang Jin led the five serving ministers and deputy ministers, and on the other hand, Bai Xinyue led the group of seven.By the way, Li Fan, the clerk in this battle, is also considered a "meritorious minister". He made an exception to accompany Bai Xinyue in the last seat, which just made up for the gap between the two sides.

Regardless of how many Minister Luo's brain cells were killed for the preparation of the meeting, when the time came, the participants entered the venue one after another, with just the right smiles on their faces—it's just that there was a bit of sincerity in the smiles, and a bit of acting skills, which really didn't matter. easy to say.

There was nothing to talk about in the briefings in the first half of the meeting. Li Fan fulfilled his responsibilities as a clerk. From departure to return, he recorded all his experiences in detail. Under the premise of ensuring objectivity, the content was naturally a bit boring. Words were reinterpreted with precision.

The informant was also Li Fan. I must be quite familiar with what I wrote, and I didn’t even stumble when I read it. The entire venue was filled with the clerk’s straightforward voice, which was really drowsy.In the midst of yawning, there were exceptions. Zhuang Jin and Bai Xinyue seemed to be in a competition whose attitude towards the meeting was more serious, and they both listened attentively.

Finally, after the report on the general situation of the battle was over, Li Fan's narrative changed to the so-called "three-party melee".

The corners of Bai Xinyue's lips curled slightly and quickly, almost without a trace.Here comes the point.

"What do you mean? Someone actually went to war against country A in spite of the commander's order?" Wang Jie's exclamation came very abruptly, but for some reason, it seemed like it had been rehearsed in advance.Hearing what Nie Chao and others did, even if he didn't open his mouth, someone else couldn't help it.From Wang Jie's own standpoint, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Let’s talk about Wang Jie here, the deputy director of the inspection department, a deputy director who is almost ignored by everyone, even many newcomers don’t even know his name.

Among the five departments of the Demon Committee, the Inspection Department, which is supposed to be responsible for investigating various illegal activities and maintaining safety, has always been in name only, just like Cinderella who was forgotten by her stepmother.

Are inspections important?It should be so important.The investigation of illegal activities alone is enough to deter the entire demon committee.

But just imagine, can those powerful families tolerate such a sharp sword hanging above their heads?Unless they decide to sell all family interests.Since the existence of the Inspection Department is necessary and irrevocable in terms of legal terms, the major families can only adopt a more secretive method-placement of personnel.

Over time, the inspection department has almost become a arena for the big families, and the drama of intrigue and rivalry is not staged three or five times a day, and the day is almost in vain.

Under the interference of all parties, the inspection department has not appointed a minister for a long time. To put it bluntly, it is precisely because the internal struggle in the department has no results, and there is no final winner.But the vacancy of the leadership position doesn't look decent, that's why he asked such an unlucky guy like Wang Jie to name him.

Under such a complicated premise, it is impossible for Wang Jie, who does not have the support of any big family, not to be ignored. In the most recent example, at the previous meeting to discuss whether to hold a hunting season, almost all the ministers and deputy ministers of the five departments attended the meeting, except Wang Jie. Jie was treated as a transparent display from beginning to end, and dared not say a word.In fact, to be honest, a large-scale event like the hunting season should involve the inspection department.

Of course, to put it bluntly, the hunting season also depends on strength. To participate, you must have enough armed forces in your hands.The inspection department originally had this strength, and the so-called garrison was under the jurisdiction of the inspection department.

Regarding this matter, Wang Jie has always found it very incomprehensible. It was supposed to be the most official violent organization of the Demon Committee, but the patrolling troops would end up being severely suppressed by the white-clothed troops known as the left. Speaking of which, the left The birth and development trajectory of the team can be described as strange. Such a team suddenly appeared without any warning, and it rose rapidly without any backing. Later, the task of making contributions to the limelight was taken away by the left, dignified guard In the end, the army can only be responsible for some trivial matters such as patrolling the headquarters, so it is no wonder that some people jokingly call it the "security team" in private.

Without enough strength in hand, and even less able to resist the infiltration of the major families, it is nothing new for the inspection department to become an empty shelf that is neither fancy nor useful.

However, since Wang Jie has assumed the title of a deputy minister, he will definitely be dissatisfied with the status quo and have a lot of ambition for nothing if he only takes money and does nothing for a long time.However, in the previous battle against the Demon Beast Snow Mountain Organization by the Demon Committee, the white-clothed troops suffered heavy losses, and even Qi Liang, the deputy captain with strong strength, took his life. However, the misfortune of others gave Wang Jie a glimmer of hope.

Wang Jie is not a fool either. Although he has no real evidence, he can vaguely see that there is a shadow of Bai Xinyue's manipulation behind this "tragedy". Regardless of whether Bai Xinyue's original intention is to eliminate the left, or to suppress The old man Nie from the preparatory department, in the end, let the inspection department pick up a big bargain.The most direct impact was the subsequent Battle of Mount No. [-]. The garrison was able to regain its glory and almost participated in the war as the main force. Therefore, today's meritorious deeds and deeds of course also have a piece of the inspection department.

Wang Jie wasn't sure if he judged a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, but he always felt that in the old five-department setup, the inspection department had no chance to stand out. Even if the rotating chairman was changed every three years, this kind of The depressing situation has not improved in the slightest, and each rotating president seems to have discussed it in advance, suppressing the inspection department in the same line.

It was not easy to inspect the department. No, Wang Jie himself got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his mark. Even if it is a bit risky, he must firmly grasp it.At this time, someone questioned the "three-party melee" issue, which was what Bai Xinyue needed most, and it was also the best time for Wang Jie to stand in line.

Seeing someone asking about the three-party melee, Li Fanxin said——here it is finally, but he remained calm on the surface. He put the manuscript paper in his hand on the table, looked back at Wang Jie and said indifferently, "Yes, Vice Minister Wang, It was clearly stated in the report on the battle situation that a total of 320 seven people left the main force without authorization and acted alone, so they encountered the border troops of country A and caused disputes."

It is quite polite to say that it is a dispute. Not to mention that there are as many as 370 people involved in the Demon Committee, even if there are only three people involved, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. First of all, the first , has violated the secrecy policy that the Demon Committee has pursued for many years.

And didn't you hear what Li Fan said? The border forces of country A have already been alarmed, and the severity of the problem has risen sharply. If it is replaced by two countries, it is almost possible to trigger an all-out war!The Demon Committee is just an organization, but no matter how you look at it, it is far above the country, so this also makes the nature of this incident particularly bad.

After some "activities" by Nie's family, Nie Qingzhou, who had been reinstated, also sat down as the deputy head of the preparatory department. Hearing this, he secretly thought that it was not good, and exchanged a look with his father, thinking that he should not sit still and take immediate action.

Unlike Li Fan who stood up straight when he spoke, and did not stand up on the spot out of surprise like Wang Jie, Nie Qingzhou just leaned on the back of the chair—the quality of these temporary chairs must not be as good as the leather sofa, because he Due to his strength and weight, he moved back a few centimeters, and the chair legs made a harsh friction sound on the floor. As a result, almost all the eyes of the audience were focused on Nie Qingzhou.

Except for Bai Xinyue.

It was Nie Ruibo who Bai Xinyue looked at, maybe because there was really nothing worth looking at at that old face, so she just cast a quick and contemptuous glance, leaving behind an indescribable meaning.

Old man Nie's scalp was numb from the sight. If it wasn't for the occasional restriction, he might have jumped up and questioned the impoliteness of the other party.However, at this time, it is quite risky for my son to speak, and it is really inappropriate to continue to cause extra problems.

Nie Qingzhou, who was pondering every word, didn't even notice the silent and quick confrontation between his father and Bai Xinyue. He stared at Li Fan viciously, showing the twelve-point majesty that belonged to the deputy minister, but unfortunately the latter was a bit oily. If you don't get in the salt, it's just a dull face.

Seeing that the threat was not successful, Nie Qingzhou had no choice but to change to violent words, "Even though the dispute with country A is a fact, it is not necessarily the fault of these 300 people. After all, this demon committee action is aimed at It’s Mount No. [-], why is it related to country A? Is there something wrong with the marching route?”

This was far beyond the scope of insinuations. At least [-]% of the people present had understood Vice Minister Nie's hint. Those who didn't understand were probably dozing off.

"Whether it's entering the border of country A or fighting with its army, these three hundred people did it. If it's not their fault, who else could it be?" Li Fan asked with just the right amount of confusion, as if puzzled.

Regarding the current situation, I had expected it beforehand, and I am not surprised by Nie's reaction. If the father and son wait to die, it will make people worry that they have some conspiracy.Bai Xinyue told Li Fan before the meeting that not only did he not need to worry, but he didn't even need to take any action. At this time, he needed to abide by his duty, remember that he was a clerk, and it was enough to do his job well up.

When he heard Bai Xinyue's instructions, he might have been puzzled, but now Li Fan has fully understood.Along the way, Bai Xinyue didn't ask too much from him, but only asked him to perform his duties as a clerk and make a comprehensive record. It turned out that someone was waiting here.

Li Fan looked at Nie Qingzhou for a while, and at the right time changed his confusion into a sudden realization, "It turns out that Vice Minister Nie is worried about the route, no problem, I made a detailed record." a gesture.

Two staff members from the archives department came in carrying a map, and those with discerning eyes immediately recognized that it was a topographic map near No. [-] Mountain. How eye-catching and eye-catching.It turns out that this is the marching route.Today's venue does not have projection equipment. Although this method is a bit old-fashioned, fortunately, it can achieve the same effect.

Damn Li Fan, damn Bai Xinyue, this is simply prepared!Nie Qingzhou's face was livid.
