Having finished speaking, Qiu Tu opened the folder and handed the two documents to Tan Huimin, who stood beside him.

Tan Huimin took them with both hands and passed the documents to Shi Youxin.

Shi Youxin took the documents and then read through them carefully.

When he reached the second list, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look up at Qiu Tu.

At that moment, Qiu Tu was staring sharply at him, his face wearing a half-smile ....

Qiu Tu's power was clearly far inferior to Tang Fei's.

But at that moment... Shi Youxin still felt an immense pressure bearing down on him!

It wasn't the usual "trick" of using one's momentum or strength to oppress others as Tang Fei would.

It was... the formidable reputation Qiu Tu had built over the past half a year. It was... the graves of Qiu Tu's enemies....

So, although his mind was filled with objections and questions, after hesitating for a moment, Shi Youxin forced a smile and said, "No problem, Director Qiu. We will arrange it tomorrow and expedite the procedures."

Seeing Shi Youxin's tactful response, Qiu Tu smiled broadly and nodded slightly.

Then he looked toward Lin Ting and said, "Minister Lin, Director Tang is now being promoted to a Fourth-order cataclysm-evolver."

"This can be considered a top priority event in Xinjie City."

"Although I have already sent a group to guard her,"

"but... I hope that about a thousand people from the Special Service Department could be stationed around Director Tang's villa and arranged for day and night patrols to prevent any petty criminals from disturbing Director Tang's promotion."

Compared to the old and cunning Yu Zhengyi and Shi Youxin, Lin Ting was obviously much less cunning.

He was already dissatisfied with Qiu Tu due to the issues with Yan Chen.

Later, he tried to force Qiu Tu into joining the Dare-to-Die Team by leaking information at the Investigation Bureau, and had his cousin Major General Lin Chuan pressure Tang Fei and Qiu Tu... thus deepening the grudge between him and Qiu Tu.

He was no fool. Knowing Qiu Tu's vindictive nature, once the latter knew about these actions, he definitely wouldn't let him off the hook easily.

Therefore, after Qiu Tu became Deputy Director, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Now that Qiu Tu temporarily took Tang Fei's place and began to take charge of the Investigation Bureau, he felt even more like he had a thorn in his side...

He had thought about reconciling with Qiu Tu but... how could he reconcile after doing all these things?

He really had no second choice but to follow this path to the end!

Fortunately, he still had Major General Lin Chuan's support, so he didn't fear Qiu Tu.

Therefore, from the moment he entered, he was listening carefully to everything Qiu Tu said, hoping to find loopholes in Qiu Tu and Tan Feifei's plans.

Finally, when Qiu Tu named him, he found it!

So... hearing Qiu Tu's order, he looked at Qiu Tu, and then, with a slow but firm tone, he said, "Director Qiu, please forgive me, but I cannot agree to your arrangement."

He sharply pointed out the only problem with Qiu Tu and Tang Fei's plan, "Director Tang is actually not our Bureau Chief of the Investigation Bureau. She's just the Acting Bureau Chief after Director Yan's transfer."

"Can an acting bureau chief appoint another acting bureau chief?"

"And given the importance of a bureau chief's position, even an acting chief should be confirmed and authorized by the state, shouldn't they?"

"You have none of this. We really dare not comply with your arrangement."

"After all... once the state or the Sanctuary deems this process illegal and Director Tang's authorization invalid, we would also be implicated and criticized."

Saying this, he continued, "So... I suggest you let Director Yu report to the state first, and after the state has given feedback, then you can start issuing orders."

Having said that, his square face looked at Qiu Tu, somewhat proudly, and he asked, "What do you think, Deputy Director Qiu?"

Upon hearing his words, the conference room fell utterly silent.

2 chapters, 10,000 words, seek Monthly Ticket!

So... hearing Qiu Tu's order, he looked at Qiu Tu, and then, with a slow but firm tone, he said, "Director Qiu, please forgive me, but I cannot agree to your arrangement."

"Can an acting bureau chief appoint another acting bureau chief?"

"And given the importance of a bureau chief's position, even an acting chief should be confirmed and authorized by the state, shouldn't they?"

"You have none of this. We really dare not comply with your arrangement."

"After all... once the state or the Sanctuary deems this cycle illegal and Director Tang's authorization invalid, we would also be implicated and criticized."
