Mercer was very concerned about the information that Chu Han had given him. He had kidnapped Zhang Dong because he had exposed his situation in Shangjing. As for finding out what kind of person Shao Nan was and how he would be of help to this mission, he still needed to investigate further.
Zhang Dong shook his head. "I don't know him. Brother, I was beaten up by Boss Chu Han the moment I came to Shangjing. I spent the rest of my time in bed. I left after I recovered. How would I know anyone?"
Mercer pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Who do you know?"
This question stumped Zhang Dong. After a while, he opened his eyes wide and replied, "I know someone called Pan Changxian. I think he's the boss of the logistics department."
Mercer's mouth twitched. He looked at Zhang Dong in shock.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
How much power did the boss of the logistics department in Shangjing have?
It was a beautiful breakthrough. Kidnapping Zhang Dong was the right choice!
Without another word, Mercer dragged Zhang Dong into the inner city. "With our ranks, we should be able to enter. We'll split the work. I'll go find out some information, and you'll trick Pan Changxian into coming here."
Before Zhang Dong could resist or think of anything else, Mercer's next sentence made him willing. "If you do this well, Chu Han will definitely thank you!"
Who was Zhang Dong's idol?
Chu Han!
He would do anything for Chu Han!
Zhang Dong quickened his pace and ran even faster than Mercer.
However, unbeknownst to them, Fan, a member of the Dragon Fang Squad who had just completed his mission, walked out of the alley slowly.
He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where the two of them left. His eyes were full of thoughts.
…
At this moment, the Nandu Base had been peaceful for a few days. After the secret of the research institute was completely buried, Shang Guanrong had completely withdrawn his investment in the research institute and started to change the direction of the base's development.
In the huge conference hall, the long table was already filled with people. Other than the higher-ups of the Nandu Base, even Chu Han and other young generals from other bases were gathered here.
"Today, I called everyone here to discuss the future development of the Nandu Base," Shang Guanrong said directly without any pleasantries.
"General, forgive me for being blunt."
Before the young generals could react, Huang Shuzhen immediately stood up and said, "We've invested a lot of money and resources into the research department. The most important development of the Southern Base is there. How can we just leave like that?"
"That's right, General." The others immediately followed up. "Are you sure you want to give up on the research division?
Wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain? "
Shangguan Rong took a deep breath. "You don't have to think about it anymore. I've made up my mind."
"Admiral!"
Murong Luocheng couldn't help but retort, "Although you're a General and the supreme leader of the Nandu Base, there are so many people in the Nandu Base. How can it be decided by you alone?"
Shang Guanrong narrowed his eyes and was slightly angry. "The research institute has been completely destroyed. If we invest in it again, we will have to start from scratch. If we invest too many resources in it, where do you think the people of Nandu Base are?
Where do you think the construction of the base is? "
His words made everyone speechless. Indeed, as Shang Guanrong said, investing in it again would cause the development of the base to be unbalanced. Moreover, the research department was a bottomless pit with no guarantee. However, everyone was still unwilling. The research department that they had painstakingly developed for more than half a year was destroyed just like that. No one could accept it, not to mention that the other bases would definitely laugh at them after this incident.
"How about this."
Just when the atmosphere became awkward, Shen Yunlou, who was used to smoothing things over, stood up and said, "Now that everyone is here, how about we vote?"
As soon as Shen Yunlou's words came out, the group of senior officials of the Nandu Base who were originally unwilling suddenly became even more unhappy. They looked at Shen Yunlou with hostility.
Why was this outsider interfering in the affairs of their base?
"General!"
Huang Shuzhen was impatient and questioned on the spot, "Why did we let a group of people from other bases participate in our meeting? Although they are all Chinese generals, how can we let them participate in the discussion of our Nandu Base's affairs?"
Huang Shuzhen's words were what everyone was thinking. A group of people immediately showed an unacceptable look. Wasn't this exposing their own secrets?
No matter which base did this, it was not a wise move!
Chu Han sat quietly in his original position and looked at Shangguan Rong with a meaningful look. He was not only a General but also the leader of a base. With this identity, Shangguan Rong's behavior was indeed too abrupt.
However, Chu Han understood that it was impossible for Shangguan Rong, the old fox, not to be unaware of such an obvious problem. He had deliberately gathered a group of young generals from other bases for a meeting. He definitely had an ulterior motive.
However, what game was Shangguan Rong, the old fox, playing?
At this moment, everyone had already attacked the young generals from other bases for several rounds. Those young generals also fought back with passion for several rounds. However, Shangguan Rong did not speak, and they quarreled for a long time without any result.
At this time, Shangguan Rong smiled strangely after everyone was tired of quarreling. "I think Shen Yunlou's proposal is good. Let's vote. The higher the rank, the greater the right to decide."
The local senior officials of Nandu Base immediately booed and did not object to this decision at all. After all, they had a large number of people, and it was enough to make Shangguan Rong change his mind. It was enough to make Shangguan Rong withdraw his sincerity.
The young generals from other bases did not speak. After all, Shangguan Rong had chosen their opinion of Shen Yunlou, which had given them enough face.
After everyone acquiesced to this approach, Shangguan Rong put forward the idea of abandoning the research department. As expected, it was strongly opposed by all the senior officials of the base.
But just when everyone thought that the matter was settled, Shangguan Rong suddenly said, "Next is the opinion of the young people from other bases. Do you object or agree?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar. This time, everyone began to wonder what Shangguan Rong was thinking. Now, not only did he let those young generals participate in the meeting, but he also gave them the right to vote?
What did Shangguan Rong want to do?
A group of young generals from other bases were also dumbfounded. Their limited brains made them unable to figure out the purpose of Shangguan Rong's move. Why did he let them vote? What did he want to do?
Moreover, their number was limited. There were only a few young generals who had not returned to their bases. Even if all of them gave face to Shangguan Rong and voted in favor of it, it would be useless if all the senior officials of Nandu Base voted against it, right?
At the moment when everyone was dumbfounded, Chu Han, who had been silent, smiled knowingly. Then he suddenly stood up and said, "There is no need to vote. The previous votes will also be invalidated."
"What?!" Almost immediately, everyone looked at Chu Han with a puzzled look. The question was, how could he do that?
Why did Chu Han invalidate the previous voting results?
