Chapter 1,217 The Way of Balance

In the conference room of the Pan-Asia Building, the members sitting at the conference table looked at each other. Ｗｗ　Ｗ

A document of more than thirty pages was placed in front of them.

The cover of the document is very monotonous. Apart from the white paper, there is a line of large black characters - "NAC Colonial Management Regulations"

Seeing this line, everyone silently mourned the passing of the Survivor Alliance in their hearts.

At this moment, NAC has unabashedly revealed its intention to annex, even omitting the whitewash, and directly used the dazzling word "colony".

But there was nothing they could do about it. It’s not that you don’t have a few guns in your hands, but the total number is not enough to see in front of the NAC, especially now that the NAC has integrated the city defense troops on Ping An Street, and the Second Militia Regiment has surrendered to them.

Not to mention the roaring fighter planes and the terrifying electromagnetic cannon.

In the face of such a powerful force, they had no room to resist.

Even Archbishop Xu Tiannan of the Gravekeeper Sect was sitting there without saying a word at this moment.

Seeing all the prominent figures sitting in the conference room, Zhao Qiuran, who was standing behind Jiang Chen, had an awkward expression on his face.

This uneasiness was especially intense when she discovered that Mei Zhiyong, the owner of the Dorsett Hotel, seemed to be sitting at the conference table. In order to escape, he almost blew up half of his building, and the entire Ping An Street was under martial law in order to chase him.

Fortunately, the owner of the Royal Hotel seemed to have forgotten about himself, a small person, and did not look at him at all.

After noticing this, Zhao Qiuran breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pity that telepathy is not mind reading. How did she know that Mei Zhiyong sitting there wanted to chop her alive. Half of the Royal Hotel was blown up by her, and his direct loss exceeded one million crystals. She couldn't sell a hundred of them at this price!

It was only for the sake of the man sitting in front of her that Boss Mei restrained his murderous intent and pretended not to recognize her.

Of all the people sitting at the conference table, there was probably only one person with the most relaxed expression.

That was Jiang Chen sitting in the first place.

He has presided over countless cake-cutting negotiations.

And he was sitting in the driving seat as always.

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? It seems that our meeting today will go on smoothly."

Having said this, Jiang Chen coughed slightly and spoke.

"First of all, here, I would like to introduce to you your future new mayor, Mr. Wendi Liu."

Hearing this, Wendi Liu immediately stood up and bowed slightly with a slightly reserved expression.

"My Excellency, Wendi Liu, I am very happy to work with you in the future."

Seeing his obviously jerky movements, there was moderate applause at the conference table.

Jiang Chen was not surprised at all by this. After all, many people were eyeing the mayor's position, but he didn't expect it to be a big upset. In the end, no one took the position, and a businessman in the fur business took the mayor's position. throne.

So much so that some people are still doubting whether he seriously thought up this mayor?

Sitting back in her seat, Wendi Liu moved her buttocks a little uneasily and turned her eyes to Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen didn't look at him at this moment, but continued.

“The issues we discussed at the conference table today are related to the future of Ping An Street, so I hope you will listen carefully to every word I say to avoid repeating the mistakes of some people or causing unnecessary misunderstandings. "

After hearing those brief yet majestic words, everyone looked at him in silence, waiting for him to continue.

"First of all, starting from today, Ping An Street will be included in the jurisdiction of the NAC. Based on the principle of adapting measures to local conditions, we will not interfere too much in your internal affairs. The parliament will continue to do whatever it should do."

"Of course, we can't completely ignore it."

"From today on, the mayor of Ping An Street will be directly nominated, appointed and dismissed by the NAC. The council no longer has the power to vote to elect and remove the mayor."

As soon as this statement came out, the conference table was in an uproar.

Are you kidding me? The mayor is directly appointed by you, so what role does the council have? Sitting at the table drinking tea and watching you sing a one-man show? You might as well just dissolve the parliament, since the vote is probably meaningless anyway.

Looking at the congressmen discussing in front of the conference table, Jiang Chen waited quietly for them to finish talking before continuing to speak.

"The mayor formulates bills, and the parliament still has the right to veto the bills. In addition, in order to prevent the mayor from abusing his power, Ping An Street will establish a new speaker to preside over secret voting, maintain order in the parliament, and exercise supervision over the mayor. .”

As soon as these words came out, many people were confused.

Didn't you say that the council can't vote to remove the mayor? Why did you create a supervisory power again?

But soon, Jiang Chen's next words answered everyone's confusion.

"If the mayor commits serious malfeasance, the speaker of the assembly can convene the assembly and initiate an impeachment proposal. If more than two-thirds of the people support impeachment, the motion to remove the mayor will be submitted to me through the division commander of the Northern Division, Lu Fan. , I will sign to approve the removal.”

Hearing these words, Xu Tiannan's eyes flashed with light, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

High, really high.

After Ding Liwei and Wan Peng fell, the entire Ping'an Street Council became a dominant one, and the dominant one was Archbishop Xu Tiannan. It is precisely because of this that he behaved very calmly from beginning to end. Because he knew very well that Jiang Chen would return to Wanghai City sooner or later. After Jiang Chen left, Xu Tiannan would own Ping An Street.

After all, the bureaucracy of Ping An Street has formed a fixed system. Without the support of the parliament, although the NAC can hold the city in its hands with its muscles, it will not be able to let it operate at maximum efficiency.

Unless Jiang Chen replaces every gear of this machine with a new one, this is simply unrealistic.

And now, Jiang Chen has played such a trick, taking the mayor, who was once a puppet, from the hands of the council, and forming his own faction, but he has not completely kicked the council away, allowing the mayor to monopolize power.

This method is completely unlike what he can do at his age.

Xu Tiannan had even guessed what Jiang Chen would do next.

I am afraid that his next move will be to expand the size of the parliament and promote members from the common people, small businessmen, and small factory owners. Otherwise, the two-thirds support rate for impeachment that he proposed earlier is completely meaningless. The current parliament can easily become a monolith and spin his tricks from hundreds of kilometers away.

And most importantly, these people will become Mayor Wendi Liu's natural allies, weakening the existing council's influence on Ping An Street.

Jiang Chen didn't know what Xu Tiannan thought of him. Even if he knew, he would just smile at most.

Because of similar comments, his ears almost felt numb.

"As for the candidate for the Speaker, I will leave it to Qi Shushan." Jiang Chen looked at the man sitting behind the conference table, watching his face changing expressions of astonishment, bewilderment, surprise, and surprise, and then Then he looked at the expressionless Xu Tiannan and continued with a smile, "As for the director of the tax bureau originally held by Wan Peng, Archbishop Xu will take over."

After so many sticks, it’s time to give him a carrot.

Ding Liwei's city defense chief was castrated and his power was thrown to Song Chenyu, leaving Wan Peng as the director of the tax bureau. Although the power of this tax bureau will also be castrated by the NAC military government, it is still a carrot that is so sweet that it is used to appease Xu Tiannan who failed to become mayor and speaker.

After the personnel appointment order was issued, Jiang Chen looked at the councilors with different expressions in front of the conference table with a smile, admiring his achievements.

At this moment, Qi Shushan was smiling gigglingly, his face filled with as much pride as a spring breeze.

In terms of prestige, even his Qi Shushan flatterer can't keep up with Xu Tiannan. In terms of strength, his power is not worth mentioning in front of the Tomb Keeper Sect. However, now the name of the Speaker fell on his head, knocking him unconscious.

As for Xu Tiannan, when he heard that the position of director of the tax bureau fell on him, his stiff expression finally softened.

As for the other members, they were either disappointed, happy, bowed their heads in thought, or communicating quietly...

At this moment, it seemed as if all the emotions in the world were condensed into this vanity fair of only ten square meters.

People are happy, angry, sad, and happy for the gains and losses of their own interests, and together they draw a vivid and realistic picture of all living beings...
