With this in mind, the 48 senior executives from the 16 cities all turned their attention to Dongcheng District and the New Territories City. They wanted to see how things would develop.
This is already a rare interesting thing in the chaotic Dongye Prefecture recently.
However, what surprised them was that after Qiu Tu's application was submitted, it seemed to have disappeared.
No matter whether it is Tung Yip State, the shelter, or the New Territories City, there has been no change or reaction.
They even tried to ask people to inquire, but there was still no sound.
The six Speakers were all strangely silent about this matter.
Whether it is Ye Mingfeng, who is always straightforward and decisive in killing; or Dai Yukang, who is thoughtful and likes to smile;
Whether it is Tang Feifei, who has a strong background and is cold-hearted but warm-hearted; or Liu Xiongyuan, who comes from a lower class and has no taboos;
Whether it is Huang Shangzong, who has a prejudice against Qiu Tu and is domineering; or Li Tingdong, who only wants to achieve political achievements and does not care about other things at all
None of the information was leaked to the outside world.
Such a strange situation was indeed beyond the imagination of the senior officials of City 16. Therefore, it also made them more curious about the result of Qiu Tu's application for deputy speaker this time.
And at the same time.
Just when all the senior officials of the 16 cities were paying attention to this matter.
Dongcheng City, Parliament, Speaker's Office.
Huang Shangzong sat on a large stainless steel chair and looked at Dai Yukang opposite the stainless steel desk without saying a word.
After looking around at the furnishings in Huang Shangzong's office, Dai Yukang said with a smile, "Speaker, Secretary Han seems to be really tired of purchasing. Even your desks and chairs have been replaced with stainless steel ones."
When Huang Shangzong heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "He is just lazy. He drags down my office efficiency to save trouble for himself."
"One day, I will smash his broken tables and chairs and ask him to replace them with mahogany ones."
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Dai Yukang smiled and joked, "Then Secretary Han will have another headache."
It was obviously not the first time that the two had a secret conversation, so they appeared to be very familiar with each other in private.
"Is the Speaker angry because Qiu Tu applied to become the deputy speaker?"
Dai Yukang took a cushion and put it on the stainless steel chair, then sat down and asked with a smile.
Even if the two of them had a good personal relationship now, Huang Shangzong would not be able to leave any evidence on his own. So he snorted coldly, "Of course not."
"If Qiu Tu has strength, ability, and merit and wants to be promoted to deputy speaker, then I will only welcome and bless him."
"But." At this point, Huang Shangzong changed his tone and said in a deep voice, "The time of his application was too deliberate."
"Isn't this adding chaos to the state by deliberately applying when there is a fierce conflict between the state and the disaster area?"
Huang Shangzong was originally tall and tall. Therefore, because he had been in high positions all year round and was very powerful, his aura was as strong as a prison.
But Dai Yukang didn't seem to feel it. He looked at Huang Shangzong with a half-smile, and then said, "The Speaker is right."
"Qiu Tu is really not very sensible at this juncture in applying for deputy speaker."
"And although he has become a pseudo-fourth-level catastrophic and has good strength, his merits and qualifications are far from enough."
"I think he is far from meeting the standards of deputy speaker now."
Upon hearing Dai Yukang's words, Huang Shangzong paused.
It was as if he was meeting Dai Yukang for the first time. The two thick eyebrows lying on his forehead were slightly raised, and he looked at Dai Yukang with a pair of tiger eyes.
"You're not here to be a lobbyist? This really surprised me."
"After all, more than a month ago, you openly sided with Qiu Tu at the Speaker's meeting."
Huang Shangzong was obviously referring to the incident where Dai Yukang stabbed him in the back when he proposed to transfer Qiu Tu not long ago.
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Dai Yukang suddenly smiled.
He said, "There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in politics."
"It's just a matter of profit."
He explained, "Last time, the reason why I helped Qiu Tu was because I owed Qiu Tu a favor and wanted to repay it."
"After the favor is repaid, the matter is over."
"Now regarding the deputy speaker, I'm just discussing the matter."
Speaking of this, he said with a deep look, "Before, I was really very optimistic about Qiu Tu. I thought he was a malleable talent."
"I even gave him a second identity and let him serve in the security system."
"But... he was promoted too fast. It was scary, and he was a little eager for quick success."
Speaking of this, Dai Yukang looked at Huang Shangzong, and then said with a half-smile, "In less than a year, he went from being a second-level agent to becoming the deputy speaker of the state assembly."
"Such a promotion speed is unprecedented, right?"
Seeing Huang Shangzong nodded in agreement, Dai Yukang continued, "So, I think it's for his own good that we should suppress him."
"If he works hard in the position of director, he will be able to fly higher in the future."
Having said this, Dai Yukang paused for a moment, and then said again, "This is also what Representative Tang Jiye meant."
"He contacted me directly after receiving Qiu Tu's application."
Tang Jiye is Tang Feifei's father, a member of the Supreme Council of the Eighth Sanctuary, and one of the top five figures in the "Fengtian Clan".
However, Huang Shangzong is also a member of the Supreme Council and one of the top leaders of the asylum.
Therefore, when he heard Tang Jiye, although he was slightly stunned, his expression did not change much.
After pondering for a moment, Huang Shangzong nodded with a deep look, and then said, "My opinion is the same as yours."
"Qiu Tu was promoted too quickly, and regardless of his merit, ability, or qualifications, he is far from being promoted to deputy speaker."
"So, let's put this application on hold for now."
Seeing that he got the answer he wanted, Dai Yukang smiled in his eyes.
Next, the two chatted about other official matters, and then Dai Yukang took his leave and left Huang Shangzong's office.
After Dai Yukang left, looking at the closed office door for two or three seconds, Huang Shangzong suddenly chuckled.
'These people who play political tricks have really dirty hearts.'
Huang Shangzong has gradually attracted Dai Yukang to his camp in the past month or so.
The reason is simple: Dai Yukang became the deputy speaker as the head of the Security Bureau system.
Therefore, his source of power and legitimacy come from the Security Bureau system.
However, the security department system in major cities is actually still within the military system. It is shackled by the military everywhere.
Therefore, what Dai Yukang has done most since he became deputy speaker is to find ways to make the Security Department system independent from the Military Department.
But for the military, the Security Department is not just a department that handles extraordinary affairs, it is also an important intelligence and espionage system.
Once the security department is stripped away, the military will immediately become blind.
In addition, the security department is relatively weak at the grassroots level and needs to rely on the strength of the military to perform tasks.
Therefore, even though the shelter continues to improve the status of the security department, the split at the grassroots level is still progressing slowly.
At this time, under the reminder of the elegant man Lao Guo, Huang Shangzong decisively seized this opportunity and gave Dai Yukang certain support.
Because spin-off and upgrade cannot be completed in one day.
Therefore, during this period, in order to obtain Huang Shangzong's support, Dai Yukang decisively moved closer to Huang Shangzong and began to get closer and closer to Huang Shangzong.
Huang Shangzong speculated that the honeymoon period between the two would last at least until the spin-off and promotion are over.
However, this is enough.
Dai Yukang's status is relatively low among the deputy speakers, so it is convenient for him to come forward to do many things - for example, denying Qiu Tu's promotion this time, Dai Yukang figured out Huang Shangzong's intention, so he took the initiative.
In this way, Huang Shangzong can maintain his speaker's style on many matters and let the deputy speakers discuss them first and then make a final decision.
This approach allowed him to regain the dominance of the Speaker's meeting.
In addition to Dai Yukang, the Security Department is also very important to Huang Shangzong.
The Security Service itself is the most important intelligence and paranormal affairs department. During the war, the importance of such a department will reach a new height.
Being able to draw Dai Yukang to his side, coupled with the support of Ye Mingfeng from the military department, Huang Shangzong can achieve almost any military purpose of his!
Thinking of this, Huang Shangzong picked up Qiu Tu's application for promotion to deputy speaker from the table, then snorted and threw it aside.
A few days ago, Qiu Tu was promoted to the fourth level of Cataclysm, which really shocked him.
But this application for promotion to deputy speaker only made Huang Shangzong feel ridiculous.
Just promoted to the fourth level of Cataclysm, trying to be promoted to deputy speaker?
Does Qiu Tu really think that the deputy speaker is a rotten cabbage on the street?
At this time, just when Huang Shangzong was thinking this.
Suddenly, his door was knocked quickly "dong dong dong".
Huang Shangzong recovered his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."
With Huang Shangzong's approval, the office door opened, and his secretary Han Xuan opened the door and walked in quickly.
Arriving in front of Huang Shangzong, Secretary Han lowered his head and whispered a few words into Huang Shangzong's ear.
The next second, Huang Shangzong looked at Secretary Han with a shocked expression, and then said, "What did you say? Qiu Tu independently hunted an evil god!?"
After seeing Secretary Han nod, Huang Shangzong's thick eyebrows were already frowning and almost squeezed together.
He said, "How is this possible?"
"Didn't he just advance to the pseudo-fourth level?"
"And what kind of cabbage is the evil god? He can kill whenever he wants?"
"Did he get a piece of "Infinite Divine Crystal" from somewhere and want to deceive us?"
Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Secretary Han quickly lowered his body and said softly, "Speaker, the fourth-level evil god that Qiu Tu hunted did not appear out of thin air."
"It's a shark."
"One of the three evil gods who tried to get involved in New Territories City before."
"According to the information reported by Qiu Tu, Whale Shark was probably still plotting the "New Territories Area", but he happened to be encountered by Qiu Tu, so he was killed conveniently."
Huang Shangzong:
Huang Shangzong also killed the fourth-level evil god, so he knew how powerful the evil god was.
I happened to encounter him and killed him easily.
Inexplicably, Huang Shangzong felt that these two words were extremely strange.
'How could such a coincidence happen?'
'How could Qiu Tu have such strength?'
At this time, perhaps aware of Huang Shangzong's disbelief, Secretary Han continued, "In addition, Qiu Tu said that in order to avoid arguing, he recorded the entire process of killing the whale shark."
"He made six copies of "Hundred Eyes of Vision" and sent them over."
Seeing Qiu Tu being so confident, Huang Shangzong couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
He said in a deep voice, "Bring it to me and see."
Secretary Han was obviously already prepared. So when he heard Huang Shangzong's words, he immediately handed over the "Hundred Eyes of Vision" that Qiu Tu had sent to Huang Shangzong.
Huang Shangzong took the "Hundred Eyes of Vision", pinched it, and shot it directly into his left eye!
The next second, the scene around him changed, as if he was immersed in the battlefield between Qiu Tu and Whale Shark!
This video really captured the entire process.
Because on the battlefield, the two of them hadn't started fighting yet, and Whale Shark was still there taunting Qiu Tu.
Seeing this scene, Huang Shangzong's eyes narrowed slightly, paying full attention to the interaction between one person and one god. He was afraid of missing any details.
Then he saw Qiu Tu's two stunning swords!
One sword breaks the shield, one sword kills!
Moreover, they are still made of tree branches!
With just two ordinary swords, the fourth-level evil god Whale Shark was like a fish on the chopping board. He had no power to fight back and died immediately!
Seeing that scene that went beyond common sense, Huang Shangzong was stunned for a moment. He almost thought he had seen it wrong.
As a result, at this moment, the video ended, the surrounding scene changed, and Huang Shangzong reappeared in the office.
And the "Hundred Eyes of Vision" has popped out of his eyeballs.
As a result, Huang Shangzong grabbed the eyeball that was trying to escape and stuffed it back again!
He wants to watch it again!
Just like that, the surrounding environment changed, and Huang Shangzong came to the battlefield again.
It's still taunting, it's still picking branches lightly, it's still two simple swords, it's still one sword that breaks the shield, and one sword that kills!
The whole process is no different from before.
However, the shock to Huang Shangzong was even greater than before.
'The fourth level peak! Definitely the strength of the fourth level peak!'
'If it weren't for this strength, it would be impossible for a sword thrown in the air to have such power.'
'How can he have such strength?'
With the end of "Hundred Eyes of Vision", Huang Shangzong returned to the real world again.
But this time, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Maybe he noticed something was wrong with Huang Shangzong's mood. Secretary Han asked in a low voice, "Speaker, is the entire video really recorded?"
After hearing his secretary's words, Huang Shangzong reached out and handed him the "Hundred Eyes of Vision".
So, two minutes later, there was another petrified person in the office.
Compared to the calm and restrained Huang Shangzong, Secretary Han is obviously much worse.
After watching the video five times, Secretary Han turned pale and said in disbelief, "Is this fake?"
"How could Qiu Tu kill the fourth-level evil god with one move?"
"Isn't he really a liar?"
After hearing Secretary Han's words, Huang Shangzong's face became uncertain.
After a moment, Huang Shangzong said, "It's impossible for him to fake it."
“Let’s not talk about the difficulty of forging “Hundred Eyes Vision”. Let’s just talk about the secondary verification.”
Huang Shangzong said, "Since he was the whale shark that was killed with one sword, then the shark's "Infinite Divine Crystal" must have his aura left behind."
"You can tell this at a glance."
After hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Secretary Han was silent for a while.
He asked tentatively, "Is it possible that Qiu Tu didn't know that the state and the shelter were checking for breath?"
Huang Shangzong's face was as dark as water, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"But." When he said this, his voice changed, "I don't think Tang Feifei will not tell him."
"So. Is this really true?" Secretary Han's face was filled with shock.
Huang Shangzong leaned on the stainless steel chair, his broad and resolute face expressionless.
"It's almost like ten."
Secretary Han asked, "With his strength, combined with his contribution to killing the evil god independently, is it really necessary to promote him to deputy speaker?"
