It happened suddenly. When Jun Shiling left, he took a few people from the base with him. The base, which did not have many people to begin with, became even emptier.
“It’s over!” Zhou Hui suddenly exclaimed. “If Officer leaves, will he be able to make it back tomorrow morning?!”
Every three days, Jun Shiling would gather all the people in charge in the southwest to listen to everyone’s work progress and arrange the next step.
If Jun Shiling did not rush back tomorrow, who would host this meeting? It was definitely unrealistic to postpone the meeting. Time was more important than anything else now. They could not afford to delay the precise time.
“It’s nothing, Uncle Zhou. Maybe the commander will be back tomorrow.” Lin Wei was also worried, but she was the adjutant here. No matter how flustered she was, she did not show it on her face.
With that, everyone began to walk back. Lin Wei turned around and met Xia Wanyuan. Seeing Jun Shiling’s gloves in her hand, Lin Wei looked away.
This night was destined to be an uneasy night.
Jun Shiling did not return until the next morning. If he did not return, Xia Wanyuan could not sleep. The lights in the lounge lit up for the entire night.
The sun rose and the charcoal in the brazier had already burned out. There were four large handwritten documents beside Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan yawned. After a busy night, she finally sorted out the information.
The command room was already in chaos.
On the screen, the people in charge of the various districts had already connected to the Internet in the meeting room. Everyone arrived one after another, but the seat that belonged to Jun Shiling was still empty.
“What should we do?” Zhou Hui was so anxious that his face was covered in a layer of sweat.
The people in charge of this video conference were all local overlords. They had all mixed in with the power pile. Not to mention dealing with these dozens of people, he could not even deal with one.
Lin Wei’s palms were sweating. She stared straight at Jun Shiling’s seat on the stage. However, as time passed, there was still no news from Jun Shiling.
“Uncle Zhou, if the officer doesn’t return later, come up with me.” Although Lin Wei had been around for many years, she had never dealt with such a large-scale reorganization. “We’ll just listen to their report and record it. We’ll decide when the officer returns.”
“Sigh, that’s the only way.” Zhou Hui shook his head. Now, he only hoped that a miracle would happen and Jun Shiling could appear in the meeting room within five minutes.
However, a miracle did not happen. When everyone in the video conference room arrived, the center seat was still empty.
“Uncle Zhou, let’s go.” Lin Wei’s palms were already covered in sweat. She looked at Zhou Hui beside her.
“Okay.”
The two of them had just taken a step when the door to the command room suddenly opened. Lin Wei turned around excitedly, but her expression instantly darkened.
It was Xia Wanyuan.
Although she was very dissatisfied with Xia Wanyuan entering and leaving the command room, with Jun Shiling backing her, it was useless no matter how dissatisfied Lin Wei was.
Lin Wei turned around and took a deep breath before continuing to walk on stage.
Unexpectedly, a notebook was handed to her. Lin Wei looked up at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.
“This is for you. You might need it.”
Lin Wei took it and flipped through it. The first thing she saw was very beautiful small characters. They carefully listed the situation of every area and every person in charge.
It was obvious that this word was written by a woman. Lin Wei guessed that Jun Shiling had asked Xia Wanyuan to copy it and leave it behind.
Although Lin Wei could not stand Xia Wanyuan being pampered by Jun Shiling, at this time, she was still grateful that Xia Wanyuan did not hide it and handed it to her. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Xia Wanyuan had always done things very clearly. She was angry at Lin Wei because Lin Wei had rebuked her, but she would not reject Lin Wei’s sincere gratitude.
Lin Wei took the information Xia Wanyuan had given her onto the stage and sat in the meeting room.
As expected, when they saw that it was the adjutant girl in the command center, the video conference room exploded. Everyone was noisy.
Lin Wei was an adjutant who had been selected layer by layer after all. She still had her dignity. “Quiet, Officer has other matters to settle. I’ll preside over the meeting today. Now, please report the past three days of work. We’ll record it and make a decision when Officer returns.”
Everyone knew that the most important thing was to adjust the combat strength of the entire southwest region. If Jun Shiling did not come to host this meeting, there must be something more important. How urgent was that?! For a moment, everyone was panicking.
Lin Wei suppressed the situation. “Alright, start reporting.”
However, it was not that easy. Everyone sitting here was someone who would tremble if they stomped the ground in the southwest region. Under Jun Shiling’s suppression, they could barely maintain the surface peace.
Now that it was Lin Wei, how could everyone be convinced by a little girl? They immediately patronized her.
From the first person to report the situation, Lin Wei could tell that something was wrong. The Anting District was not the central district, but it reported an astronomical transfer fee. Just hearing it made her feel that it was unreasonable.
Lin Wei could still tolerate the first one, but the second and third ones also reported obviously unreasonable fees. Lin Wei could not help but question.
“Aiyo, Adjutant Lin, what are you saying? You don’t know the calculations of these fees. If you say no, then tell me, why can’t I?”
“That’s right. Sigh, I don’t know if Officer Jun is deliberately leaving us hanging or something, but he actually let a girl who doesn’t know anything preside over the overall situation here. Why? Are you looking down on us?”
Lin Wei clenched her fists and thought to herself that these people were indeed old foxes. They had sowed discord between Jun Shiling and everyone with just a few words.
As expected, everyone was reminded by these words and felt that Jun Shiling was lying to them. Their performance in the meeting room became more and more unrestrained.
There was even an especially arrogant person who actually smoked during the meeting. “Aiya, little girl, I’m sorry. I’m addicted to smoking. It’s fine. Continue. You said that you can’t approve funds just now, so you have to give us a reason, right?”
Lin Wei looked down at the information Xia Wanyuan had prepared for her, but no matter how useful the information was, it was useless. She could not suppress these old foxes. No matter what they said, they pretended not to hear it.
The meeting room was in chaos. It did not look like a meeting of well-trained people at all. Instead, it was as lively as a market.
Lin Wei understood that these people were originally suppressed by Jun Shiling and were dissatisfied. Now that they had a breakthrough, they could vent freely.
However, although she understood, there was nothing she could do.
Just as everyone was getting angrier and Lin Wei was about to announce the end of the meeting, Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting below the stage, walked towards the stage.
The stage was included in the video conference cameras. The others also saw Xia Wanyuan walk up the stage.
Due to Xia Wanyuan’s astonishing beauty, the originally noisy meeting room fell silent.
Lin Wei frowned. “You…”
Xia Wanyuan walked straight to her. “Get up.”
Lin Wei did not want to admit it, but she had to admit that at that moment, she actually felt that Xia Wanyuan’s aura was as domineering as Jun Shiling’s.
Her actions were faster than her brain. Lin Wei subconsciously stood up and gave her seat to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan sat in the meeting room. “Report again.”
