486: The Dissatisfaction of the Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary

One of the high-ranking officials, with greying hair and deep-set eyes, cleared his throat, breaking the brief silence.

"Everyone has received the news, right? That famous Comrade Li Yang is coming here to serve as Chairman."

His voice was steady and powerful, and his words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up reactions from everyone.

A slightly plump official, dressed in a sharp suit, smiled faintly, saying with a tone of relief:

"To be honest, I'm a little relieved that they gave him the Chairman position, and not my position as Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee."

Although he said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

An official with a stern face sitting opposite him sneered and said calmly:

"The former Chairman and Vice Speaker were both brought down by you. As a meritorious official, how could they transfer you away?"

His eyes held a hint of dissatisfaction and disdain, as if he had his own opinions on the methods of the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee.

Upon hearing this, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee's face flashed with annoyance, but he quickly regained his composure. He crossed his arms over his chest and said:

"Now, let's first think about how to treat our new Chairman..."

"Treat him? Just treat him as usual. As the dignified Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, to some extent, he is still under my supervision... If this Chairman is like the previous one, I'll investigate him just the same!"

The Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee raised his voice, his eyes revealing a strong sense of firmness and confidence, as if displaying his authority to everyone.

At this moment, an official wearing glasses and with an elegant demeanor pushed up his glasses and said coldly:

"Hmph, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision and other departments are all from his hands. You investigate him? I suspect that after he takes office, your job as Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee will be taken by him."

His tone carried a hint of worry and warning, as if foreseeing what might happen in the future.

The Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee shrugged indifferently and said nonchalantly:

"If he wants to take it, let him take it. Anyway, the position is still under my butt, and others will help me with the work. Isn't that good?"

He leaned back in his chair, a nonchalant expression on his face, as if he didn't care about the gains or losses of his work.

"Alright, you guys stop messing around and think about how to do your jobs well. Don't forget, this time he's coming, besides being the Chairman, even the border garrison troops have been replaced with his people."

A long-silent older official finally spoke, his voice low and serious, instantly making the atmosphere in the meeting room tense.

Everyone's expressions became serious, and a young official among them nodded and said:

"Indeed... the information recorded is true, it really is military-political integration treatment. He's both Chairman and Division Commander, and I heard he was just promoted to Major General before being transferred here."

His eyes revealed a hint of admiration and curiosity, full of anticipation for the arrival of this new Chairman.

The few people discussed for a long time, each holding their own opinion, and besides a few arguments, no conclusions were reached.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat oppressive and awkward, and in the end, everyone could only disperse unhappily.

They each got up and left the meeting room with different moods, and the question of how to deal with the new Chairman remained like a fog, shrouding their hearts... In the vast and boundless universe, time seemed to be diluted by endless darkness.

After a long journey, the massive fleet, composed of countless starships, like a giant dragon shimmering with metallic luster, finally arrived at the Longlan Star Cluster.

Outside the starship's porthole, the magnificent scenery of the Longlan Star Cluster came into view.

At this time, in the Command Room of the main starship, the atmosphere was tense yet orderly.

Pal walked steadily and quickly to Li Yang's side. He bowed slightly and asked in a clear and resonant voice:

"Captain Li Yang, the troops have arrived at the Longlan Star Cluster. Should we proceed to the border garrison first, or the administrative center department?"

Li Yang stood in front of the huge holographic star map, his gaze deep and firm, staring at the two bright spots representing the border garrison and the administrative center department.

He frowned slightly, deep in thought. After a moment, he turned around, his eyes revealing composure and decisiveness, and slowly said:

"Hmm... let's go to the border garrison first. The comrades there should have been waiting for a long time. Besides, what would it look like if I brought so many troops to the administrative center department?"

Upon hearing Li Yang's words, Pal immediately straightened up, gave a standard military salute, and said loudly:

"Understood!"

Then he quickly turned around and began to issue orders.

Soon, the fleet's direction of travel was adjusted.

starships spewed blue flames, changing course neatly and orderly, heading straight for the border garrison...

At the same time, at the spacious and advanced port of the Longlan Star Cluster's administrative center department, a group of officials gathered in twos and threes, with expressions of either anticipation or doubt on their faces.

They had just received news of Li Yang's arrival at the Longlan Star Cluster and had all expected to welcome the new Chairman here.

The port's ground was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the bright surrounding lights.

The officials' uniforms shimmered under the lights as they whispered and discussed.

"Why isn't the new Chairman here yet?"

A young official frowned, looking at the communicator in his hand, a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"I don't know, according to the time in the message, he should have arrived by now?"

Another official shrugged, a puzzled expression on his face.

Just as the officials were discussing heatedly, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee walked slowly over, his hands clasped behind his back, his steps steady.

His face was stern, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure. After stopping, he cleared his throat and slowly said:

"No need to wait. The new Chairman has gone to the border garrison to settle his troops first. You may all disperse."

His voice was low and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority.

After speaking, the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee turned around without waiting for others to react and walked towards the exit of the port.

His back seemed a little lonely, and his steps were more hurried than usual.

"So that's how it is... By the way, why do I feel like the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee looks unhappy?"

A young-looking official watched the departing figure of the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, do you know who brought down the previous Chairman and Vice Speaker?"

Another official leaned in mysteriously, lowering his voice.

"Hmm... the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, right? What about him?"

The young official looked confused, not understanding the connection.
