Chapter 730: Chapter 204 Base and Invitations (Request for Monthly Pass)_2
Without absolute power to rely on, where does the qualification to be a commander come from?
Xu Shu’s mind raced through all this as he sat in the chief seat, looking at everyone, his index finger tapping the table surface, "Let’s begin then."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crowd of prosecutors picked up their pens and papers, each sitting upright and wide-eyed, all in a very serious posture, ready to listen to the leader’s speech.
They looked at Xu Shu, and Xu Shu also looked at them, then he opened the strategic deployment manual.
The meeting room suddenly fell into silence for a full three minutes.
Since Xu Shu wasn’t speaking, nobody else dared to speak first, including the familiar Tang Ying and Song Yuchun.
"Director Xu? Director Xu? Director Xu, say something please," Bai Jie maintained a serious expression while secretly poking Xu Shu’s thigh with a pen.
She felt somewhat frustrated, thinking could it be that the boss was suffering from stage fright?
That was possible, after all, he looked so young!
But at such times, as a leader, showing stage fright was not a good reputation to have, especially since he had been a special promotion. If he didn’t perform well, how could he stand firm in the future?
While Bai Jie was getting anxious for Xu Shu, Xu Shu himself did not take it to heart.
Although his position was a special promotion, it was also earned by sheer strength, a punch at a time, and presumably, there weren’t many high-level prosecutors in the Judgement Department who dared not accept it.
As for stage fright, of course not.
His silence wasn’t because he didn’t know what to say.
One might not have seen pork, but who hasn’t seen pigs run?
Although in his previous life he hated the lengthy speeches leaders gave during big meetings, now that it was his turn, he still knew how to perform in a pretentious manner.
It was just that he was shocked when he turned to the first page of the strategic deployment.
On that page was a list of personnel arranged to be under his command. Xu Shu glanced at it and discovered that, apart from Tang Ying and Song Yuchun, they were composed exclusively of people with the surname Wei.
There were intermediate prosecutors like Wei Wuji, Wei Wujiu, Wei Wuqi, Wei Wushang, Wei Wuxiang, Wei Wunian... a total of 16 individuals with the surname Wei. There were also two others, Tang Ying and Song Yuchun.
For junior prosecutors, there were Wei Yang, Wei Ze, Wei Hai, Wei Lian... totaling 87 people, 82 of whom had the surname Wei!
Oh, and there’s a familiar face, Wei Wujiu!
Did I poke the Wei Family hornet’s nest? Xu Shu’s mouth twitched.
As they looked at each other for a good while, Xu Shu suddenly gestured, pointing at Wei Wujiu, Tang Ying, and Song Yuchun: "You three, come here."
"Ah?" The three were stunned.
"Don’t daze, come sit in front of me!"
Xu Shu called them over to sit in the spots closest to him.
The three hurried to their feet to move, while the rest of the table quietly exchanged glances, showing either envy or jealousy towards Wei Wujiu.
Xu Shu tapped the personnel list on the paper and asked, "Old Wei, translate this for me, what’s going on here?"
Wei Wujiu replied blankly, "Director, translate what?"
"Isn’t this all your Wei Family? Did you arrange this? Why did you do it?" Xu Shu asked.
Wei Wujiu grinned foolishly, "How could I decide this..."
"Really not you?" Xu Shu frowned.
"It’s not me, really not me," Wei Wujiu said, sweating on his face.
The adjacent Bai Jie said, "This is arranged by the department, besides, the Wei Family from the Hunter Association is under your jurisdiction, it belongs to the Dawn Church’s support, don’t you know that? Yu Mingluan, the archbishop arranged for you to become the high-level Prosecutors."
She lowered her voice significantly in the latter part of her sentence, using the technique "exclusive auditory path" of the musicians, which only Xu Shu could hear. It was a higher level ability than normal secret transmission and couldn’t be overheard.
Xu Shu suddenly came to a realization.
Goodness, turns out these people from the Wei Family were the foundation left to him by the archbishop.
"Alright, noted."
Xu Shu flipped through the material and found a lot of content, but most of it was intricate details involving what streets, what apartment communities need his people to patrol, and so on.
As for more private matters, such as the Demon Chosen affair, the attack they were supposed to launch the next day, and other secrets, not a single word was mentioned.
Was Bai Sanxiang guarding against the other high-level prosecutors as well?
Then what about the Divine Chosen at that time?
Was he to face them alone?
Could he handle it?
After a moment, Xu Shu’s thoughts were no longer on this strategic deployment.
Speaking of his daughter being assigned as his secretary... Xu Shu suddenly smiled and said to Bai Jie, "For this matter, Secretary Bai, you explain it to everyone and arrange for its execution."
Bai Jie was astonished, waving her hands repeatedly, and using the exclusive auditory path, she said, "Director, what are you talking about? How can I take over this task? I’m not shirking, what I mean is..."
Xu Shu frowned and transmitted privately, "Secretary Bai, you wouldn’t want the fact that you become an intermediate prosecutor at First Rank to get out and be known by people, would you?"
Bai Jie’s expression froze: "Ah?"
"If you don’t want it, just do as I say."
"But, but..."
As Bai Jie hesitated, Xu Shu had already moved aside and spoke loudly, "Next, Secretary Bai Jie will explain the strategic deployment to everyone, the content that needs to be handled by each department, let’s welcome her with applause!"
Clap clap clap!
Xu Shu led the applause.
After a brief astonishment, faces around the table revealed understanding as they too vigorously clapped.
Clap clap clap clap!
Amid thunderous applause, Bai Jie gritted her teeth, a challenging look flashed in her eyes, and she finally bowed politely and began to perform.
As a Transcendent of the "Scholar" path, her logic was coherent, and her speech was clear. She quickly assigned the tasks to everyone.
