Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 359 - 207: Candidate for Parliament, Military Invitation_2
Chapter 359: Chapter 207: Candidate for Parliament, Military Invitation_2
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions varied.
"Hmm, makes sense."
Chu Shihong nodded slightly, then curiously asked, "I wonder, does Director Zhang have any recommendations?"
"I think the Martial Arts Grandmaster from the Flame Tiger Sect, Master Chen, is a good choice."
Zhang Songta said seriously, causing quite a stir.
"Him?"
"That killer star?"
"Director Zhang, are you joking?" someone immediately opposed.
The true circumstances surrounding Zhao Jianlong’s death were mostly known by those present.
Also, having personally witnessed the death of the Golden Guard during the Huai River battle, it made them somewhat uneasy.
This Master Chen was known for his domineering nature and also had connections with the Green Demon’s team.
In the past, they could maintain composure by holding their identities as members of the council, but if he were to join the council, whom would they listen to in the future?
"Silence."
Amidst the noise, Chu Shihong frowned slightly, raised a hand, and gestured for quiet.
Everyone held their breath, wisely shut their mouths, and could only watch as he spoke again.
"Director Zhang never speaks empty words and acts with caution."
"Since he’s willing to make such a recommendation, he must have his reasons. Everyone should patiently listen."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Songta, his gaze seemingly full of encouragement.
"Ahem... then I’ll speak freely."
Zhang Songta coughed again, cleared his throat.
"Firstly, this Master Chen is from the Martial Arts World community. If he can join our association, it would perfectly fill the talent gap and deepen our association’s connection with the Martial Arts World."
"As everyone knows, some martial arts practitioners are young and impulsive, often causing trouble. If Master Chen joins, these disputes and conflicts would surely be easily resolved."
Everyone still frowned.
"Secondly, this Master Chen has made contributions to Nanjiang on various occasions."
"Defeating the Golden Guard and stopping the Utopia’s riot is well-known to everyone, as well as the Huai River battle, which significantly boosted Nanjiang City’s reputation, making its existence known to many."
"Therefore, I believe that although Master Chen is young, his capabilities are indeed sufficient to fulfill the role of councilor..."
After his words fell, they were righteous and reasoned, which relaxed some eyebrows, though some remained unwilling.
They more or less received favors from others, but there were only five spots, and competition was inevitable.
Suddenly, voices of opposition arose.
But simultaneously, unexpected voices of agreement appeared.
"I support Director Zhang’s proposal!"
A middle-aged man spoke, surprising many.
"Old Li?"
"Haha, my kid has mentioned several times that this Master Chen is righteous. Anyway, I support him!"
"I also agree!"
"My gosh, Old Luo?"
"Don’t ask, just know I’m willing."
One after another, voices of agreement sounded, and those who intended to oppose furrowed their brows but could no longer intervene.
Finally, Chu Shihong chuckled, glancing at everyone.
"Minority obeys majority."
"Since most council members agree with Director Zhang’s proposal, then Master Chen Feng will first be listed as one candidate."
As the words were set, everyone’s expressions remained unchanged, though some noticed the subtleties.
No one voiced any objections, and they quickly started discussing the remaining four vacancies.
Ultimately, Lin Hao of Tianhao Security was also listed as a candidate, and the meeting ended with many leaving one after another.
"Representative, Master Chen has returned."
A Mechanical Martial Bodyguard whispered in his ear, Chu Shihong nodded lightly before rising to leave the meeting room.
During this period, he specially ordered his subordinates to bring someone in.
Soon, a figure in camouflage appeared, walking into the guest room with him.
Buzz!!
As the wooden door opened, Chen Feng, already seated on the leather sofa, glanced over.
Upon returning to Nanjiang he came directly to the Union Building, perfectly on time, around two-thirty in the afternoon.
"Master Chen, it’s been a while."
"Mr. Chu."
Chen Feng smiled and spoke, having overheard most of the previous conversation in the meeting room.
He knew it was Chu Shihong who strongly supported him, otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
"Haha, you’re still calling me by the title ’representative’?"
"If you don’t mind my boldness, how about calling me Uncle Chu from now on?"
Chu Shihong chuckled, walked up to him, and shook hands.
Hearing the sincerity in his words, Chen Feng didn’t hesitate, nodded, and called him Uncle Chu.
Then, after exchanging a few pleasantries, he looked at the newcomer beside Chu Shihong.
A man in his thirties wearing a camouflage uniform.
With a square face and an upright demeanor.
The rank on his shoulder was not low, and there was a red maple leaf emblem on his left elbow, clearly marking him as military personnel.
"Let me introduce you, this is Captain Han Chao, stationed with the Luoh River Special Combat Team, Vice-Captain of the Red Teeth Team."
"And this is Flame Tiger Master, Chen Feng."
After the introduction, Chen Feng and the newcomer shook hands, feeling a bit puzzled and surprised.
He wasn’t very familiar with the military, and the other’s presence here at this moment...
"Actually, the main reason for this meeting is that Captain Han has something he would like to discuss with you."
"The smooth progress of the congressional candidacy this time owes much to his help, winning the support of several veteran congress members with military backgrounds."
Chu Shihong chuckled lightly, gave a brief explanation, and gestured for both parties to take a seat.
"Master Chen, I’ve long admired you."
"This meeting is rather sudden, please forgive the abruptness."
The man named Han Chao, in his thirties, spoke in a loud, sincere tone.
With this explanation, Chen Feng finally understood the reason Chu Shihong arranged this meeting.
The Ancient Civilization Relics.
Or rather, matters related to it.
"Since Master Chen has just returned from Yun Gang, you should know about the Su Luo Secret Realm, right?"
The other asked, and Chen Feng nodded.
Utopia staged a violent terror attack in Yun Gang because of this, to help put pressure on the Platinum Federation together.
"We have indeed pinpointed the location of the Secret Realm in Su Luo, but we’ve encountered a small problem."
Han Chao sighed, then continued: "The situation in Su Luo is complex, with many factions. One faction is heavily influenced by local martial arts forces and also backed by the Platinum Federation."
"Plus, the Divine Martial Alliance had previously attacked Master Puni in the area, so this faction has a poor impression of us, often causing trouble nearby, with severe impacts."
Han Chao’s eyes were bright, his tone expectant: "After discussions between both sides, considering various impacts, we have agreed with the faction in Su Luo to hold a martial arts exchange before the year-end."
"I’m here to seek your help, Master Chen, in the hope that you can accompany us to Su Luo to resolve this matter."
Ah, so that’s how it is.
Chen Feng understood and wasn’t too surprised by Su Luo’s complicated situation.
He had heard Lin Hao mention some secrets, and combined with news, he had heard a bit.
The region frequently erupts in civil strife, with numerous factions, religions thrive, the Evil God Church often appears openly, even recruiting followers.
Due to this, local technology is relatively backward, but martial arts are quite popular.
"Alright."
He nodded in agreement, knowing such matters are hard to refuse.
Especially since the other party, along with Chu Shihong, had nominated him as a candidate for the City Association’s councilor, which was a gesture of goodwill.
"Good, Master Chen, you are indeed straightforward."
"Rest assured, our military never shortchanges any sincere person; there will be substantial rewards afterward!"
Han Chao beamed, making repeated promises.
Finally, taking this opportunity, both parties discussed briefly, and the other party left satisfied.
"If this matter is handled well, it will be greatly beneficial to you."
"The congressional candidate still needs to be finally decided by the Provincial Federation, and the more you show yourself, the less refutable you are."
Chu Shihong, worried Chen Feng might overthink, specially reminded him.
Chen Feng nodded, but in fact, he had another idea in mind.
He originally planned to go to Su Luo to cause trouble for the Divine Martial Alliance, but the Flying Eagle Master had always been elusive.
If he could cooperate with the military, he might be able to track them down more quickly.
Unaware of his intentions, Chu Shihong only felt that his ambitions were growing, his eyes full of appreciation.
The two chatted for a while, from their master Li Tong to future plans.
Eventually, Chu Shihong’s smile appeared, making a special remark.
"Chairman Li talked to me yesterday, he greatly appreciates you."
"He wanted to meet you alone, but unfortunately, he’s busy with affairs in Yun Gang, so he doesn’t have the time."
Oh?
Chen Feng slightly raised his eyebrows; this was the second time he had heard something related to Chairman Li.
He didn’t understand why he seemed to matter so much to this person?
As if noticing his confusion, Chu Shihong chuckled and then subtly hinted at two points.
