Chapter 176 Meeting
The next morning.
Li Ba arrived at the Management Committee building on time at 9 o'clock. He also accompanied Yang Jian'er and Liang Jie.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the Management Committee had issued an announcement. The new committee member was finalized and a public announcement was posted inside and outside the city. At the same time, the leaders of all forces in the city were notified to attend the meeting.
When we arrived, the outside of the Management Committee building was full of vehicles, which was very lively.
"Mr. Li"
"Commissioner Li"
As soon as Li Ba got off the car, he was surrounded by many business owners and greeted him warmly. Some had changed their words to call him a member, while others even used the previous title.
"Hello everyone."
Li Ba nodded with a smile. Although these business owners are polite when they see themselves, they are not as enthusiastic as they are today. Some people even have a pleasing and fearful expression on their faces, and they try their best to push forward, regardless of whether they know them or not.
Member of the Management Committee
Boss of Fengshou Trading Company
The number one expert in Xibu
Li Ba knew it in his mind. It was no wonder that these names were so attentive and were almost flattering and flattering.
After finally rushing out of the crowd, Li Ba was about to go upstairs, he met Cao Bin of the Chiyan Mercenary Group at the entrance of the stairs.
"Commissioner Li"
Today, Cao Bin's face was also full of pleasing smiles.
"Old Cao, what have you been doing these days?"
Li Ba asked with a smile.
"What can I do with my old Cao? I just followed your instructions and took my brothers to rest at home, not even leaving the city gate."
Cao Bin said hehe. He had reached an agreement with Li Ba before, not helping either party and remain neutral.
"Not right"
Li Ba glanced at Cao Bin with his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said slowly: "Why did I hear people say that you mobilized the troops that night and all the staff were dispatched... This seems to violate our previous agreement and is suspected of helping Long Sihai."
"Commissioner Li, what you said. I'm sorry to death."
Cao Bin immediately complained, as if he had been wronged, and began to talk. According to him, he saw that the situation in the city was chaotic that night. He originally planned to take people to check it out. If there were outsiders causing trouble in Xibu City, he was preparing to take action to help the official suppress the criminals.
Unexpectedly, when he was out, he met Si Jiyue's Storm Mercenary Group. The other party's intention was the same as his, so if the Storm Mercenary Group did it on his behalf, he took people to retreat to the garrison.
"Brother, if I knew it was Long Sihai's rebellion at that time, I would definitely stand on your side of Member Li. If I destroy such a person, I will give my Xibu City a bright world."
Cao Bin flew and said something hindsight. Li Ba knew it and was too lazy to talk to him. He greeted him and took Yang Jian'er Liang Jie to the elevator and headed to the top meeting room.
Although Li Ba knew that Cao Bin had shown signs of mobilizing his troops that night, he was not sure that this guy was going to help Long Sihai. Therefore, he let Cao Bin go for the time being and waited until he was slowly cleaning up the guy later.
"Commissioner Li, I'll come, I'll come..."
Cao Bin followed behind happily and personally pressed the elevator for Li Ba, acting like a follower than Yang Jian.
"Damn, this guy has the rhythm of stealing my job."
Yang Jian was very upset.
When we arrived at the top meeting room, it was already crowded with people, which were as many as hundreds. On a rectangular conference table in the center, famous brands were placed. Li Ba's seat was the first on his left hand. Xue Taigong followed closely behind.
"Xiao Li"
The people from the Xue family had arrived long ago. Xue Taigong did not take the seat. Instead, he was talking to several big merchants. When he saw Li Ba coming, he immediately smiled and said hello.
"Old man."
Li Ba bowed his hand. He has always respected this old man.
"I have to thank you this time. I am the old man who can get an official when I enter the coffin."
After Xue Taigong arrived, he lowered his voice and expressed his gratitude to Li Ba for his recommendation.
"It's all my own people, so don't be polite, old man."
Li Ba replied with a smile.
As soon as he appeared, the situation was the same as the one below the building, and the crowd immediately surrounded him. On the left, he said, "Hello, Member Li, I am XX, and on the right, "Mr. Li was young and promising, all of which were compliments."
Originally, Xue Ligui was surrounded by people. After Li Ba appeared, these guys ran over one by one and left Xue Ligui alone, which seemed very embarrassing.
"The villain succeeds"
Xue Ligui looked at the conspicuous big bald head in the middle of the crowd, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Then, he walked over with a smile on his face.
"Commissioner Li"
A middle-aged man with pure eyes came to Li Ba, smiled and stretched out his right hand. He did not squeeze in, but the crowd around him took the initiative to make way and let him in.
"Who are you……"
"I, Xue Ligui, is a member of the Management Committee, and also serves as the administrative director."
The person who came was Xue Ligui. He took the initiative to introduce himself, spoke appropriately, and showed great quality and cultivation.
"Oh, it turns out to be Member Xue." Li Ba smiled and ignored Xue Ligui's right hand, and had no intention of shaking hands with this guy.
Xue Ligui has a similar identity to Zhao Laifu. He worked in Xibu Town before the end of the world. After the establishment of the settlement, he was elected as a member of the Management Committee due to his wide connections and also served as the director of the Administrative Department.
Among the seven members of the National Congress, he and Zhao Laifu were not a military force, and they usually had interactions with Long Sihai and others. After Zhao Laifu died, this person was alone in the Management Committee and was neglected by the military and was very unsuccessful.
Li Ba has no good impression of this guy. Among them, except that he and Zhao Laifulong are birds of a feather in the world, the biggest reason is that this guy's nephew Xue Lin once kidnapped Gui'er, and when Li Ba was in trouble, he helped Li Chao torture him a lot.
Xue Ligui kept stretching out his right hand, but Li Ba did not mean to shake hands with him. He was surrounded by leaders of all major and large forces in Xibu City. He felt embarrassed and his heart was filled with anger.
However, his face was not revealed. Because the bald man in front of him was said to be even more powerful than Liang Shaoping, he is now known as the number one master in Xibu, and even Long Sihai was severely injured and fled.
Even if Xue Ligui is dissatisfied, he will not dare to break up.
"People, please sit down"
At this moment, Wang Feng and other official senior officials came to the venue and saved Xue Ligui's siege.
Today, all the middle and high-level officials of the official military came to the scene. Li Ba saw Han Xue and waved his hand to greet him with a smile. Han Xue also saw him and nodded slightly with a little reserved attitude.
There is also the cheap cousin Luo Jianguo, who is the deputy director of the official material department and a middle- and senior staff member, and is qualified to attend the meeting this time.
In addition to the long table in the center, there are rows of tables around the conference room, with names of participants marked on them. After Wang Feng and other official personnel arrived, all participants returned to their respective seats. Li Ba also came to the first seat on the left hand of the conference table and sat down.
As for Yang Jianer and Liang Jie and the other two, there are seats specially prepared for the entourage next to them.
There were only about twenty people sitting in the entire conference table. In addition to the members of the management committee, there were also representatives of the major businesses and forces in the city. Cao Bin was honored to sit next to Li Ba. At his attack, he was a short-haired woman, representing the Storm Mercenary Group.
"Feiyan, where is your elder sister?"
Li Ba couldn't help asking. He was familiar with this man named Feiyan and had been drinking not long ago.
"My sister is a little uncomfortable, so I'll send me to participate."
This man named Feiyan is very polite to Li Ba, and can even be described as convinced. From her, Li Ba learned that Si Jiyue had felt uncomfortable in the past few days, so she was unable to come to attend the meeting in person.
"Tell me a word to your elder sister, I'll take time to visit her in the afternoon."
"good."
Si Jiyue is a good lady. It can be seen from the righteous help that night that Li Ba has a very good impression of her. Although he was forced to push her by the other party, it did not affect his view of Si Jiyue at all.
Before the meeting began, Wang Feng took the lead in standing up and said, "Messenger Liang Shaoping and Member Kang Dawei died unfortunately. Please watch a minute of silence for them."
Everyone stood up and responded to Wang Feng's proposal to pay tribute to Liang Kang and the other two. Xibu City was established by Liang Shaoping, and they respected the late military leader and representatives of all forces present.
One minute later.
Everyone sat down again and the meeting officially began. The first thing was Wang Feng's speech, he temporarily took over the position of chairman of the management committee and grandly introduced the three newly joined members. To be continued.
ps: Thank you Qiqi for your reward, the second update, continue to ask for support...
