Chapter 13019
This is a truly heavyweight figure!
Even among the elders of the decision-making level, the law enforcement elders would rank among the top five!
For a moment, not to mention the ordinary customers below, even the core big customers in the private rooms above couldn't help but look at Zhao Gongming with a bit more flattery.
In theory, the God of Wealth Academy and these core clients are mutually beneficial, each getting what they need. However, in practice, it is naturally the latter who have more to ask of the God of Wealth Academy.
This process inevitably involves various personal relationships and irregularities.
If it weren't brought up in the open, it would be fine, but once it's brought up, especially if it catches the eye of Zhao Gongming, the newly appointed elder in charge of law enforcement, then it's a completely different story.
Even the smallest thing in their eyes can become a huge problem, or even directly overturn the future and destiny of their entire force!
When dealing with the God of Wealth Academy, the person you absolutely cannot offend is the Enforcement Elder.
This is a bloody lesson learned from countless past cases.
"Elder Zhao, congratulations! You are truly deserving of the position of Law Enforcement Elder!"
The VIP customer in VIP room number one was the first to break the silence.
The other customers quickly echoed this sentiment.
They all abandoned any semblance of restraint, fearing that their overtures wouldn't be obvious enough and would incur Zhao Gongming's wrath, bringing unwarranted disaster upon themselves.
Zhao Gongming was certainly not such a petty person.
But the current situation could easily lead people to misunderstand that they are in cahoots with Qian Tongtian.
Once you're labeled like that, it will be many times more difficult to deal with the God of Wealth Academy in the future!
The losses, both overt and covert, alone are enough to be unbearable for many of them!
Zhao Gongming nodded slightly, but his gaze first fell on Lin Yi in VIP room number five, and he took the initiative to bow in greeting.
This scene truly stunned everyone else present.
"Just who is this person in VIP room number five?"
"That's right, what exactly is his background that made Zhao Gongming, the newly appointed elder of law enforcement, willingly hand him over?"
"Could he be a big shot from the core area of the Divine Realm?"
Everyone started wildly imagining things.
At first, they thought that Lin Yi was just a nobody promoted by Zhao Gongming, at most serving as a front man.
Looking at it now, that's not the case at all.
Only Lin Yi knew that Zhao Gongming's gesture of cupping his hands was actually just to express his gratitude.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Gongming will be able to win the job competition and be promoted to the position of Law Enforcement Elder. The breakthrough point I found for him played a significant role in this.
This is true.
Zhao Gongming's victory was not due to this achievement, but the breakthrough point provided by Lin Yi is definitely a huge advantage at this critical juncture.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for him to surpass Qian Tongtian.
At this moment, Qian Tongtian's eyes were wide open, still in a daze, unable to react: "Impossible! Impossible! They promised me themselves!"
Zhao Gongming looked at him calmly: "Who are they? What did they promise you?"
Qian Tongtian was about to blurt it out, but when he realized the strange looks he was getting, he immediately snapped back to reality and shut his mouth in embarrassment.
But I still couldn't understand it at all.
He staked his entire fortune and used all his resources to secure this position as an elder in the decision-making body.
He had clearly already taken care of those most influential decision-making elders, just waiting for him to make today's special auction a success so he could take over in one fell swoop.
How did Zhao Gongming suddenly snatch it away?
Qian Tongtian really couldn't understand it.
Even if he ruined the auction and the higher-ups abandoned him and chose Zhao Gongming instead, even if he still couldn't accept it, it would still be a plausible reason.
In contrast, he doesn't even know how he lost!
Anyone would be completely bewildered in that situation.
Sensing Zhao Gongming's calm and composed gaze, Qian Tongtian subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
My scalp felt tight in waves, and within moments, my entire back was soaked in cold sweat.
Zhao Gongming said leisurely, "You just said you were going to report this to the higher-ups, right?"
Qian Tongtian's lips trembled slightly: "I...I mean..."
Zhao Gongming interrupted calmly, "I'm right here. You can report directly to me."
In short, it killed the game.
Everyone in the room looked at Qian Tongtian as if he were a clown.
Before the appointment was made, the two sides were on equal footing. Regardless of who was right or wrong, it would have been interesting to watch them argue.
However, now that Zhao Gongming has been promoted to law enforcement elder and entered the decision-making hierarchy, they are no longer on the same level.
Any attempt by Qian Tongtian to resist would only bring him humiliation.
Unless he has other senior decision-makers backing him up.
Unfortunately, no.
Qian Tongtian did have a lot of connections and had a good relationship with several decision-making elders, but in the end, it was all one-sided filial piety from him.
If it's a trivial matter that can be done or not, people might be willing to do him a favor.
But to say that he would directly confront Zhao Gongming, the newly appointed elder in charge of law enforcement, is simply impossible.
They're not stupid.
Zhao Gongming stared at him and said, "Elder Qian, I can give you a chance to report in person. If you don't want this opportunity, then I will have to ask the law enforcement department to step in. At that time, some things may not be so easy to say."
His tone was calm and ordinary, but to everyone else, it sounded like he was about to kill.
Who hasn't had their share of troubles before reaching the position of a high-ranking elder?
If Qian Tongtian were to be targeted by the entire law enforcement department, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be skinned alive!
Anyone who is even slightly dishonest will be immediately demoted and lose their position as an elder.
If things go wrong, you might even end up in jail and never see the light of day again!
For a moment, everyone present looked at Qian Tongtian with a hint of schadenfreude.
Several major clients who previously had a good relationship with him frowned and hurriedly ordered their clients to keep their distance from him.
It's not a big deal to bring down Qian Tongtian, but if it implicates them, then they truly deserve to die.
Feeling the hostile gazes from all sides, Qian Tongtian's head spun again, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious on the spot.
There was an uproar.
"No way? It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"
"He's supposed to be a high-ranking elder, how can his mental fortitude be so weak?"
Qian Tongtian's assistants were all pale-faced and dared not even breathe.
Zhao Gongming shook his head dismissively: "He fainted at just the right time. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry your master to the infirmary!" (End of Chapter)
