Chapter 1299: Chapter 50: Nirvana as Martial Power (2-in-1)
Zhao Shanhe coughed solemnly.
Everyone straightened up immediately.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Fang Che, the Chief of the Life and Death Inspection Team of our Southeast Headquarters. Although Fang Che holds a humble position, he possesses the Life and Death Order, a special privilege granted by the headquarters, which allows him to attend our high-level Southeast Headquarters meetings. Does anyone have any objections?"
"We have no objections!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Zhao Shanhe ground his teeth.
Those who were supposed to oppose didn’t step up!
Come on, help me out!
"Fang Che, today is your first time attending a high-level meeting. Let me introduce the leaders present to you."
An Ruoxing said: "This is Altar Master Yin Guotang of the Law Enforcement Punishment Platform, nicknamed Yin Department Scholar... This is the War Altar Master Xiong Rushan, known in Jianghu as..."
Xiong Rushan coughed, sounding very dignified, "Let’s skip the nickname introduction."
Suddenly, there was an uproarious laughter, and several others almost spat out their drinks as they collectively said, "Ancient Bear!"
"...p..."
Fang Che barely held back, only spitting out half a mouthful.
After the round of introductions, Fang Che realized stepping into the Southeast Headquarters felt like stepping into a zoo.
Ancient Bear, Three-tailed Scorpion, Blood Tiger Whip, Mysterious Fox, Mountain Leopard, Nightmare Snake, Six-Armed Mantis...
It’s a complete food chain!
Upon counting, the first nickname, Yin Department Scholar, actually sounds more human... fluctuating to ghost.
"Greetings, seniors and officers."
Fang Che greeted each one respectfully.
In his heart, he had endless admiration for Zhao Shanhe!
My General Zhao, how did you manage to gather such a group of beasts together?
Looking around, it was a table full of wolves, tigers, and leopards—referring to nicknames, of course.
Zhao Shanhe said solemnly: "Altar Master Yin and Altar Master Xiong are all Saint-level masters, Fang Che, you are young, don’t clash with the seniors in future dealings, I won’t be able to speak up for you."
No one stepped up, so Zhao Shanhe had to handle things personally.
By all means, he wanted this lawless young man to know that the Southeast also has experts, so act wisely in the future.
Fang Che gasped in surprise, respectfully saluting again: "Saint-level... Ah, the big shots. I apologize for my ignorance... Surely General Zhao ranks higher than Saint-level, I apologize."
The room was filled with uncontrollable chuckles.
Zhao Shanhe’s face turned dark.
Because he... was not yet at the Saint-level.
The Chief overseeing the major headquarters under Dongfang Sansan’s appointment always considers three aspects. First is capability, second is character, third is experience.
In appointing the Chief, martial power isn’t within Dongfang Sansan’s consideration.
If discussing martial power, Zhao Shanhe isn’t even in the running.
Even Old Man Shen at the Early Stage Supreme can cause a stir. Zhao Shanhe’s cultivation is higher but not at a crushing level.
Zhao Shanhe knocked on the table, still dark-faced.
He cast a warning glance at Fang Che.
Using telepathic communication: "Later we will discuss matters concerning the entire southeast deployment, listen well and understand the situation."
Fang Che nodded calmly, sat down.
He sighed inwardly.
Despite Zhao Shanhe being an old silver coin, having his quirks, he wasn’t a bad person.
Moreover, by the looks, he was clearly grooming Fang Che.
Otherwise, this kind of high-level meeting, a patrol team chief really wouldn’t qualify to attend. Even with the Life and Death Order, you’d just be an executioner.
Whatever decision is made, they could just inform you.
Yet Zhao Shanhe allows Fang Che to attend, and clearly, such attendance will increase. Such ’intentional grooming’ was evident.
But... unfortunately, it would really disappoint you.
Next, the meeting began.
The Financial Chief, patting his Grandpa God of Wealth belly, the first to speak, joyfully.
"Originally, we were running a deficit this quarter, General Zhao came up with a major loss, but this..."
Before he finished, he sensed Zhao Shanhe’s cold glare.
The Financial Chief immediately switched: "But under General Zhao’s wise leadership, we’ve been making massive gains lately... Not just gold every day, money piles don’t even suffice to describe... Finances are completely full, we’re currently opening new storerooms."
War Altar Xiong Rushan immediately stood up: "Grandpa God of Wealth, the compensation for brothers who died in the battle last time, family recompense, children and elderly support cost..."
"Go ahead and collect after the meeting!"
The Financial Chief arrogantly: "Bring a note!"
"Alright, alright, thank you so much." Xiong Rushan said with visible excitement.
The General Affairs Chief stood up: "Grandpa God of Wealth, about our outstanding..."
"Go ahead and collect after the meeting!"
The Financial Chief waved grandly, joyfully: "Others don’t need to stand up either, after the meeting collect payment uniformly, and then General Zhao decided to award brothers a quarterly bonus. Detailed notices will be sent from finance, each department will stagger times to collect from my office."
Immediately cheers erupted.
"...Even after excluding all these expenses, the financial department still has a surplus... Silver coins, fifty billion; gold, one billion, Low Grade Spirit Crystal, one hundred thirty million, Middle Grade Spirit Crystal, fifty-two million, High Grade Spirit Crystal... plus items other than Spirit Crystals like..."
The Financial Chief’s words made everyone’s face shine with gold light.
What the heck!
Since when did the Southeast Headquarters become so wealthy!
Zhao Shanhe showed a hint of pride, calmly and modestly: "Look at you all, like you’ve never seen money before... Truly embarrassing!"
"These achievements, some of which belong to Captain Fang’s Life and Death Patrol Team... Ahem, in these days, they’ve repossessed seven thousand three hundred households... delivered only after tireless work."
