Although military projects will be transferred, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Qing Chen continued, "The Qing family will establish a military industry business group, bringing all military enterprises under unified management. I recommend Qing Qu to be promoted to vice president of the group in charge. Raise your hand if you disagree."
No one objected.
Qing Chen sat in his seat and issued 512 rectification and inspection requirements without stopping from morning to afternoon. During this time, he did not look at any documents and only gave everyone four times to go to the toilet.
These 512 requirements will be documented in meeting minutes, and Li Kerou will be responsible for following up and determining whether the rectification has been completed.
This was an enormous workload, but Li Kerou didn't have a headache; she just felt incredibly excited...
After the meeting, all the bigwigs of the Qing clan were sweating profusely. After all, none of them had clean hands, and they were all afraid that Qing Chen would suddenly call their names.
Fortunately, apart from making an example of someone at the beginning, Qing Chen avoided mentioning the board members present, seemingly implying a general amnesty.
However, at the end of the meeting, Qing Chen suddenly said, "I still have 311 items that need to be investigated, but I won't mention them at the meeting. You all know very well how well you've done in the past. I'm giving you time to find the problems yourselves and then submit your rectification measures and plans in writing. This is the last chance, so please cherish it."
The bigwigs secretly cursed their bad luck. They had all been hoping for Kyung Jun's resignation, but who would have thought that someone even more ruthless than Kyung Jun would appear...
However, at this moment, everyone suddenly realized that everyone else had new arrangements, except for Qing Shi's father, Qing Chang, who was still without a position.
Some people gloated, thinking that Qing Changming was clearly one of the great contributors to this purge plan, yet he was ruthlessly abandoned.
They glanced over discreetly, only to find Qing Chang sitting there like an ancient Buddha, his expression unchanged.
Qing Chen said, "The Qing family will establish an inspection team, with Qing Chang serving as the team leader. Raise your hand if you object."
Everyone was shocked. Qing Chang had transformed into an imperial envoy wielding the Shangfang sword!
What's going on? Has the patriarch's trust in Qing Chang reached this level?! Is there some hidden story behind this?!
Qing Chen didn't offer any further explanation: "Meeting adjourned."
He was the first to walk out of the conference room, and several bigwigs suddenly slumped into their chairs and let out a long sigh of relief, finally it was over.
They felt that these six hours today were harder to endure than six years.
Judging from Qing Chen's familiarity with the entire group, it seems unlikely that he will be able to deceive his superiors and fool the family again in the future.
Qingkun got up and left with Qingyi. He muttered to himself, "I was thinking that you might be able to compete with him in the future, but it seems you'd better behave yourself. You can't beat your master."
Qingyi was both amused and exasperated: "I didn't mean to fight him, can you please stop making a scene for yourself every day?"
...
...
Night falls.
Standing in front of the small house on the mountainside, Qing Chen patiently said, "I have done what I needed to do. Now, please work hard for the Qing family. It is a good thing for retired workers to find new jobs and make the most of their remaining energy. After your physical functions recover, don't stay cooped up in the house all the time. Come out and move around more often."
The old man inside the house held back for a long time before finally saying, "Get out of here!"
“My plan this time is quite dangerous, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back,” Qing Chen suddenly said seriously.
The old man calmly asked, "What are you going to do?"
“Yes,” Qing Chen nodded, “We are bound to have a battle with the other side of the Forbidden Sea. The problem now lies in three points.”
"The first point is that we don't understand the other side, but they understand us through Kashima and Kamishiro. This kind of battle with information gaps is too disadvantageous."
"The second point is that the Federation is divided, but there is no civil war on the other side. I don't think a huge kingdom can be a monolithic entity. I need to go and see if I can find an opportunity to stir up internal strife in the Western Continent, just like the internal strife in the Age of Gods and Kashima in the Western Continent. I saw some information on the surface world network. There are also people there who are resisting the rule of the Roosevelt Kingdom."
"The most important thing is to buy time. Parents' meetings, daytime, and the Cavaliers' reserves need time to grow."
“Since you’ve made up your mind, then go,” the old man said calmly. “You didn’t leave behind any offspring before you left, and I don’t know what you’ve been busy with.”
"Don't worry, I will come back alive," Qingchen said solemnly.
After saying that, he looked at Qing Ji and said, "Please take me to city number 20."
Qing Ji asked in confusion, "What are you going to City 20 for at this time?"
Qing Chen said, "The kingdom's aerial fortress arrived in City 20 three days ago to begin repairs. I will be taking this aerial fortress to the other side of the Forbidden Sea. This is also my way of infiltrating their power structure."
Qing Ji was puzzled: "It was doing just fine in the north, how could it suddenly go back to the west coast?"
“I’ll figure something out,” Qingchen said.
The Shadow Gate opened, and Qing Chen walked in without hesitation.
Li Kerou watched from a distance, wanting to say something, but Qing Chen didn't give her the chance.
...
...
City No. 20.
The young man who had once been codenamed 'Kamidai' on the Kingdom Sky Fortress was now standing with his hands behind his back in front of the ruins of the family patriarch's residence.
Behind him stood dozens of core members of the ancestral lineage.
Kamishiro calmly said, "The head of the family is incompetent. They can't do anything about the parents' meeting that is held during the day. The head of the family is dead, and even the official residence has been destroyed."
Someone behind him whispered, "Ancestor, what should we do next? Should we retaliate?"
“No,” Kamishiro shook his head: “We should shrink to City 22 and let the Li family, the Qing family, and the Roosevelt Kingdom both suffer heavy losses.”
"Why shrink back? This city number 20 is now ours, and the patriarch's faction is powerless to resist it," someone asked doubtfully.
Kamishiro sneered: "In the disaster in City 10, not only was a swarm of rats born, but also a swarm of cockroaches. Now, you can't find any cockroaches in that city at all. Where do you think they are? We need to continue north. The average temperature in City 22 is low, and cockroach swarms cannot survive there."
Everyone was astonished—a swarm of cockroaches?!
Kamishiro turned and boarded a floating airship: "It's alright. Don't be attached to the current false prosperity. As long as we control City 22, we still have a chance. Believe me, the Li family and the Qing family can't imagine how powerful the Roosevelt Kingdom is, and the Roosevelt Kingdom can't imagine how troublesome the people on this side of the Eastern Continent are. When they are both exhausted, the world will still be ours."
...
...
Because the kingdom's air fortress is docked in city number 20, thousands of air fortress crew members have begun taking turns to rest.
In recent days, rape cases have been frequent in City 20, mostly committed by white people, but the PCE Sheriff's Office has been turning a blind eye to the reports.
The residents of City 20 were outraged, but there was nothing they could do.
Many people were discussing secretly contacting the parent-teacher association to see if they could get them to pull off another heist and kill these white people too.
However, since the various conglomerates began their crackdown, the parents' association has fallen silent, and everyone is completely unreachable.
At this point, everyone remembered the benefits of the parent-teacher conference.
At this very moment, Xiao San was sitting in front of a ramen stall in the themed street, smiling as she said to the owner, "One bowl of tonkotsu ramen, and two servings of oden."
He was wiping disposable chopsticks while his eyes were fixed on a white man.
The other person was tall and burly, covered in strange tattoos, with two Chinese characters "牛逼" (awesome) tattooed on his left arm.
The ramen stall owner stood behind the food cart, cooking ramen while coldly observing the scene, muttering to himself from time to time, "They've ruined all these perfectly good girls. If the parent-teacher conference were still here, they'd probably kill them all! Ugh!"
The mistress asked, "Uncle, aren't you afraid something will happen?"
The boss muttered, "What's there to be afraid of? They can't understand what we're saying anyway."
Just then, a young man approached the ramen stall and patted Xiao San on the shoulder: "Where's the target?"
The mistress's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the brothel the white man had just gone into: "He just went in."
The boy understood, lifted the curtain, and went inside.
The madam, her face smeared with white foundation, greeted us with a smile. Her kimono looked unusually bulky. "Guest, what kind would you like?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, countless cockroaches suddenly crawled out of the cracks in the walls of the brothel. They were a new breed cultivated by the mistress, small cockroaches that could get into any crevice.
The madam was terrified when she saw the swarm of cockroaches, while Qingchen took the opportunity to quickly walk inside.
At the same time, countless cockroaches suddenly crawled out of the city's sewers.
A large golden cockroach crawled out of the manhole cover and rubbed against Xiao San. Xiao San then poured a bowl of oden in front of it and said with a smile, "Eat up, you'll have to work hard tonight."
Then, the mistress turned to the boss and said, "Don't be afraid, these cockroaches won't hurt you. Also, the parent-teacher conference has never left."
The boss stood there stunned. Then, he saw the mistress put on a baseball cap and blend into the gradually chaotic crowd.
Chapter 786, Who wouldn't be confused after reading this?
City residents discovered that cockroaches had begun attacking humans; they even saw people covered in cockroaches, howling and screaming in agony.
Cockroaches have evolved sharp mouthparts; when they bite, blood spurts from the attacked person.
In an instant, the people banded together and ran out of the city.
But everyone quickly realized that something was wrong.
These cockroaches... surprisingly, didn't attack civilians.
Someone shouted down the street, "Don't panic, everyone! Have you noticed? They're attacking only the high castes, completely ignoring us low castes! I recognized the guy who died at the intersection just now; he was a lackey of the Gods!"
The swarms of cockroaches moved through the area, making a rustling sound, but they seemed oblivious to the residents who slowly came to a stop, showing no interest whatsoever.
"What's going on? Why aren't the cockroaches attacking us? Do they have a grudge against the gods?"
"I don't know, but I feel like something's not quite right."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone on the street saw a white man, shirtless, running out of a building, howling in pain, with cockroaches following closely behind him.
They eventually bit him to death!
After the white man died, the cockroaches did not attack the civilians, but instead continued to look for their next target, crawling past them nonchalantly.
Standing amidst a swarm of cockroaches, the ramen stall owner suppressed his nausea and excitedly sent messages to all his friends and family: Don't panic, the cockroaches that suddenly appeared in the city were caused by the parents' association, they won't harm ordinary people!
The message spread quickly.
It was at this time that Gao Wen from Hope Media suddenly published an article, providing a detailed explanation of the disaster in City 10: After Chika Kamishiro died, the Kamishiro Foundation placed his body in the sewers of City 10, where it was eventually devoured by cockroaches and rats.
Rats caused a disaster in City 10, while cockroaches have been brought under control by the Parents' Association.
Everything that is happening in City 20 now is a case of fighting fire with fire, and the target of this attack is to kill all those lawless white people!
Now the residents of City 20 finally knew the truth. They stopped being afraid of cockroaches and even managed to greet them a few times despite their disgust...
The people carefully observed their feet and saw cockroaches of all sizes surging out of the well cover like a tide.
