Once, I wanted to be a good person

I wonder if there really is such a thing as telepathy in this world.

As he was saying this, a lazy, yawning voice rang out beside his ear, "What about my Fusion? What are you all talking about?"

Everyone heard the voice and looked up, only to discover that unkempt man, Gu Qing, had arrived beside them at some point.

Seeing Gu Qing, everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Director." "Director Gu." "Director."

Gu Qing gestured for them to sit down and took a seat next to Xun Yi, curiously asking, "What were you all discussing just now?"

Driven by Gu Qing's curiosity, the group repeated what Bai Zhi had reported about Fang Ze's achievements and merits.

However, compared to the others, Gu Qing acted much more normally.

He listened with a smile, and upon hearing that Fang Ze had swiftly taken out Director Pang, he even clapped a few times involuntarily, then said, "Pretty good, pretty good."

"We really have too few young people with that kind of spirit these days."

With that, he leaned back lazily in his chair and said, "You know, the young ones need to have the guts to take risks, never hesitating or looking back, they must be resolute and decisive."

"If they say they're going to wipe out your whole family, they'll do just that."

"As for what comes after, we'll deal with that later."

"If we can't handle it, aren't there still old folks like us to clean up the mess?"

"Isn't this how every generation has gotten by?"

Hearing Gu Qing's words, everyone was speechless.

Let's not mention that Gu Qing isn't that old himself, why does he act a generation above others, is the point really about the problem of being decisive?

It's clearly about Fang Ze's strength possibly involving falsified merits. And the issue that he handles matters inappropriately, Bai Zhi unilaterally protects him, and can't convince the public.

Thus, a few senior executives began to fiercely express their opinions.

And Gu Qing, the cause of the dispute, just watched them with a smile, then said, "Ah right, right. What you're saying makes sense. Oh, this Fang Ze is too much!"

This made everyone feel even more frustrated.

Whenever discussing matters or debating issues, it was always the same with Gu Qing.

After stating his opinion, if others objected, he would just smile and give in without arguing, acting as if he was too sensible to argue with fools. Afterwards... he would slap their faces.

After one or two times, everyone had gotten used to it. But unexpectedly, they fell into the same trap again...

Utterly infuriating, with no way to vent. Particularly frustrating.

And just as the senior executives were silently fuming, suddenly the door to the meeting room was pushed open.

A stern-faced middle-aged woman, who had a demeanor somewhat similar to Xun Yi, walked in first.

Following behind her was a young man with a radiant smile, dressed in a Governing Hall uniform.

After them came Bai Zhi, dressed in a noble's attire of teal and purple, lightly made up, looking like a fairy. The three of them went up to the stage and then took their seats.

The middle-aged woman sat in the center, the young man from the Governing Hall and Bai Zhi on either side of her.

Once the three were seated, Bai Zhi glanced past Gu Qing toward the glasses-wearing woman, Xun Yi, and nodded.

Xun Yi stood up, went to the podium, and then started to chair the meeting.

The meetings in this world, though also strict in protocol, weren't bogged down by many cumbersome steps or useless chatter.

Xun Yi detailed all the work done by the Security Bureau this quarter, its results, and after giving a detailed report, she stepped down.

Following that, the middle-aged woman took the stage and shared the higher echelons of the Security Bureau's assessment of the Emerald City Security Bureau, and announced the next major task: the Flower Morning Festival.

And, as expected by everyone, the tasks for the Flower Morning Festival were divided into two groups to compete in a healthy way.

One group was led by Bai Zhi, with a total limit of 10 members. The personnel were to be chosen freely, as long as the Commissioner agreed.

The other group was led by Gu Qing... with all other members being part of his team.

Upon hearing this assignment, Gu Qing let out a resigned sigh, covering his face.

However, the Commissioners below were all quite excited and happy...

After the assignments were announced, the highlight of today followed: Fang Ze made his public appearance in front of everyone.

Actually, the joining of a Commissioner isn't usually a big deal.

Most of the time, just as the meeting nears its end, a new Commissioner stands up to introduce themselves to everyone for future convenience in working together.

However, due to Fang Ze's previous deeds and some intentional stirring by others, this had become the main focus of attention today.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Thus, under the watchful eyes of all, Bai Zhi briefly outlined Fang Ze's background, only mentioning his household registration and some of his merits, not mentioning Fang Ze's past as a suspect, or his strength.

This left the Commissioners below even more uncomfortable.

And Bai Zhi didn't notice that the expressions of the Commissioners below seemed off. After finishing the introduction process, she called out to the outside, "Commissioner Fang Ze, please come in and introduce yourself to everyone."

At Bai Zhi's words, everyone couldn't help but look towards the door.

And including the youth from the Governing Hall, the senior managers from the Security Bureau, and even Gu Qing, they all curiously craned their necks to see the doorway...

Just then, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Fang Ze walked in with a radiant smile.

As he walked, he greeted everyone familiarly, "Hello colleagues, hello leaders, my name is Fang Ze, please take good care of me in the future."

Then... he turned his head and saw Gu Qing sitting in the first row of the meeting room.

At the same time, Gu Qing also saw him.

Their eyes met.

Both were a bit stunned.

But because of their "good" mental qualities, neither showed any abnormalities, and pretending it was their first time meeting, they smiled faintly and then turned their heads away.

Then, they simultaneously cursed in their minds, "Damn... such schemers!"

However, after the cursing, both also noticed that something was off with the entire meeting room.

It wasn't that there was something wrong with the two of them, but normally, when a new member comes in, the other Commissioners should give the courtesy of clapping, and even the more active ones might start a cheer.

But... the whole meeting room was silent now, completely devoid of any sound.

Only from the fourth row, a lone girl: Bai Ling, was clapping her hands.

Her clapping sound seemed so feeble in the large conference room filled with hundreds of people...
