In the conference room of the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building, the members sitting at the conference table looked at each other.
A document with more than 30 pages was placed in front of them.
The cover of the document was very monotonous. In addition to the whiter paper, there was a line of dark characters – "NAC Colony Management Regulations"
When everyone saw this line of words, they all mourned the passing of the Survivors Alliance in their hearts.
At this moment, NAC had already unabashedly revealed its intention to annex. It even skipped the whitewash and directly used the harsh word "colony".
However, they had no other choice. It was not that everyone here didn't have a few guns in their hands, but it was not enough in front of NAC, especially now that NAC had incorporated the City Defense Force of Pingan Street and the Second Militia had surrendered to them.
Not to mention the roaring fighter jets and the terrifying electromagnetic pulse cannons.
In the face of such a powerful force, they had no room to resist at all.
Even the Archbishop of the Guardian Sect, Xu Tiannan, sat there without saying a word at the moment.
Looking at the big shots sitting in the conference room, Zhao Qiuran, who was standing behind Jiang Chen, looked a little uneasy.
Especially when she discovered that Mei Zhiyong, the owner of the Dihao Hotel, also seemed to be sitting at the conference table, this uneasiness was particularly strong. In order to escape, she almost blew up half of his building, and the entire Pingan Street was put on lockdown to chase after her.
Fortunately, the owner of the Dihao Hotel seemed to have forgotten about her and didn't look at her at all.
After noticing this, Zhao Qiuran breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, telepathy was not mind-reading. She didn't know that Mei Zhiyong, who was sitting there, wanted to kill her. Half of the Dihao Hotel was blown up by her, and his direct loss exceeded one million crystals. Even one hundred of her couldn't be sold for this price!
Only for the sake of the man sitting in front of her, Boss Mei retracted his murderous intent and pretended not to know her.
Among all the people sitting at the conference table, there was probably only one person who had the most relaxed expression.
It was Jiang Chen, who was sitting at the head of the table.
He had presided over this kind of cake-cutting negotiation countless times, and he always sat in the position of the executor.
Facing the pairs of eyes with different thoughts, Jiang Chen spoke.
"Do you have any objections to this document?"
No one said a word.
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
"No objections? Looks like our meeting today will proceed smoothly. "
Speaking of this, Jiang Chen coughed and said.
"First of all, I would like to introduce you to your future mayor, Mr. Liu Wendi."
Hearing this, Liu Wendi immediately stood up and bowed slightly with a slightly reserved expression.
"My name is Liu Wendi. I'm glad to be able to work with all of you in the future."
Looking at his jerky movements, there was a round of applause around the conference table.
Jiang Chen was not surprised at all. After all, a lot of people had their eyes on the mayor's position, but it was a dark horse. In the end, no one became the mayor, and a fur trader became the mayor.
Even now, there were still people who doubted whether he had really thought of the position of mayor.
Back in her seat, Liu Wendi shifted her butt restlessly and looked at Jiang Chen.
But Jiang Chen didn't look at him and continued.
"The issues we are discussing at the conference table today are related to the future of Pingan Street, so I hope you will listen carefully to every word I say, so as not to repeat the mistakes of some people or cause any unnecessary misunderstandings."
When they heard the short but dignified words, everyone looked at him in silence and waited for him to continue.
"First of all, from today on, Pingan Street will be under the jurisdiction of NAC. In line with the principle of local conditions, we will not interfere too much in your internal affairs. The council will continue to do what it is supposed to do. "
"Of course, we can't completely ignore it."
"From today on, the candidate for mayor of Pingan Street will be directly nominated, appointed, and dismissed by NAC. The council no longer has the power to vote and dismiss the mayor."
As soon as this statement came out, the conference table was in an uproar.
Are you kidding me? If the mayor is directly appointed by you, what is the role of the council? Sit at the table and drink tea while watching you perform a one-man show? Why don't you just dissolve the council? Anyway, the vote is meaningless.
Jiang Chen looked at the council members who were discussing at the conference table, waited quietly for them to finish talking, and then continued.
"The mayor makes the bill, and the council still has the right to veto the bill. In addition, in order to prevent the mayor from abusing his power, Pingan Street will set up a new speaker to preside over the secret ballot, maintain the order of the council, and exercise supervision over the mayor. "
As soon as this statement came out, many people were confused.
[Didn't you say that the council can't vote to dismiss the mayor? Why did you bring up supervision?]
But soon, Jiang Chen's next sentence answered everyone's confusion.
"If the mayor commits serious malfeasance, the speaker can convene the council and initiate an impeachment motion. If more than two-thirds of the people support the impeachment, the motion to dismiss the mayor will be submitted to me through the head of the Northern Division, Lu Fan, and I will sign and approve the dismissal. "
When Xu Tiannan heard this, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his mind.
Brilliant, it was really brilliant.
After the fall of Ding Liwei and Wan Peng, the entire council of Pingan Street became a dominant situation, and the dominant one was Archbishop Xu Tiannan. It was precisely because of this that he behaved very well from beginning to end. Because he knew very well that Jiang Chen would return to Wanghai sooner or later. After Jiang Chen left, Pingan Street would be Xu Tiannan's world.
After all, the bureaucratic class of Pingan Street had formed a fixed system. Without the support of the council, although NAC could rely on its muscles to hold the city in its hands, it would not be able to operate with maximum efficiency.
Unless Jiang Chen replaced every gear of this machine with a new one, but this was simply unrealistic.
And now, Jiang Chen played such a trick. He took the former puppet of the mayor away from the hands of the council and formed his own faction, but he didn't completely kick the council away and let the mayor monopolize the power.
This was not something he could do at his age.
Xu Tiannan even guessed what Jiang Chen's next move would be.
His next move would probably be to expand the size of the parliament, and to promote members from the commoners, small merchants, and small factory owners. Otherwise, the two-thirds support rate for impeachment that he had proposed earlier would be meaningless. The current parliament could easily become a solid block, and he, who was hundreds of kilometers away, would be toyed around in circles.
And the most important thing was that these people would become natural allies of Mayor Liu Wendi and weaken the influence of the existing council on Pingan Street.
Jiang Chen didn't know how Xu Tiannan would evaluate him. Even if he knew, he would at most smile.
Because he had heard similar comments so many times that his ears were about to grow calluses.
"As for the candidate for the position of speaker, Qi Shushan will be the one." Jiang Chen looked at the man sitting at the back of the conference table. He watched his face change between shock, bewilderment, surprise, and surprise. Then he looked at the expressionless Xu Tiannan, smiled, and continued, "As for the director of the tax bureau originally held by Wan Peng, Archbishop Xu will be the one."
After beating up so many people, it was time to give a carrot.
Ding Liwei's city defense chief was castrated and the power was thrown to Song Chenyu. The remaining position was the director of the tax bureau originally held by Wan Peng. Although the power of the tax bureau would also be castrated by the NAC military government, it was a sweet carrot to appease Xu Tiannan, who couldn't become the mayor and had no chance of being the speaker.
After the personnel appointment order was issued, Jiang Chen looked at the council members with different expressions at the conference table and admired his results.
At this moment, Qi Shushan was laughing foolishly with a flushed face. His face was brimming with pride like a spring breeze.
In terms of prestige, Qi Shushan couldn't catch up to Xu Tiannan. In terms of strength, his force was not worth mentioning in front of the Guardian Sect. But now, the title of the chairman had fallen on his head, and he was knocked dizzy.
As for Xu Tiannan, when he heard that the position of the tax bureau director fell on his head, his stiff expression finally eased.
As for the other council members, they were either disappointed, happy, deep in thought, or whispering to each other …
At this moment, it was as if all the emotions in the world were condensed in this ten-square-meter vanity fair.
People were happy, angry, sad, and happy for the gains and losses of their own interests. Together, they painted a vivid and realistic picture of life …
