The day after Gu Feng’s promotion ceremony, the content editing team finally organized a bulletin column about him.
As the newly appointed Hall Master, and one of the top influencers in the national server, a special section was dedicated to him in the nationwide internal morning report.
This article, accessible to all system personnel, exploded across Jiangcheng, stirring up a massive abyss!
Lin Langsheng, who had just been shocked by the revelation that Gu Feng’s father was a Sect Leader in the military, saw the report early the next morning in his secretary’s car. Especially upon seeing the picture of Gu Feng in his military uniform and cap, Lin Langsheng couldn’t sit still, shocked to his core.
From his na to his age, and then to his portrait, he repeatedly confird the details, feeling a sense of madness wash over him!
"This new Hall Master is so young, just over thirty, and even broke the tradition of 24 mbers being expanded by one, how aweso!"
"What’s his background? How has he earned so many military honors at this age?"
"Are those dals for real?"
The thematic Chapter on Gu Feng also formally introduced and publicized the dals he had received from his previous actions.
Truly, coming from a soldier’s background, the awards he had collected were enough to dazzle everyone, consisting only of the most prestigious military honors!
If one were to look at it from an administrative resu perspective, it was an explosively impressive record.
Those unaware of Gu Feng’s identity rely discussed it casually.
But those who knew Gu Feng each had different feelings.
Take Wei Changqing’s father, Wei Chen, for example!
That morning before heading to work, as he was having breakfast and about to pick up his cup of milk, he happened to see Gu Feng’s portrait and his hand trembled violently, spilling milk all over the table.
"Dad, what’s wrong?"
"Honey, what happened?"
Wei Changqing and his wife both looked at him worriedly.
Wei Chen’s face grew more flustered, his breathing more rapid, nearly failing to catch his breath.
Wei Changqing stood up and ca over to look at his phone.
Similarly, upon seeing Gu Feng in his military uniform and his appointed duties, Wei Changqing’s body went limp, almost losing his balance but thankfully grabbing onto a chair in ti.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness!" Wei Chen gasped deeply, constantly muttering to himself.
Wei Changqing’s face was pale yet relieved as he nodded vehently, agreeing with his father.
Thank goodness!
He had swallowed his pride that night and had not retaliated!
Thank goodness, he had proactively apologized to Feng!
Otherwise...
Wei Changqing dared not imagine.
The man from the national peak competition!
Even the Wei Family, who feared Gu Yuan, the bigwig of Jiangcheng, would feel like re ants before a Hall Master.
As the saying goes, a higher official can crush you, and Gu Feng’s level was several thresholds above!
Reaching the level of a Hall Master, no matter which faction you belonged to, unless you were of equal rank and enraged him, he could easily crush you!
Don’t expect your departnt’s top Hall Master to confront another Hall Master on behalf of a re minion.
Their high status involved maintaining complex interconnections within a network, supporting countless system employees.
For instance, Gu Feng could generate an annual revenue of trillions for Hall Master Song’s entire departnt, enough to support many like Wei Changqing.
Hall Master Song wouldn’t expose this issue over a minor figure like you. Just replacing you would solve the problem. Do you think Hall Master Song would confront a Hall Master of the sa level over you?
You could only bla your own misfortune for provoking soone you couldn’t afford to offend!
No wonder Wei Chen and his son Wei Changqing were drenched in cold sweat.
Indeed, Gu Feng’s newfound status had truly frightened them!
Those not within the system couldn’t feel the suffocating pressure of being crushed!
But Wei Changqing was still not reassured, "Dad... could there be trouble?"
Wei Chen was also unsure.
After all, it could just take a word from soone in a bad mood to target you.
You are a local bigwig, and Gu Yuan is just a visitor who can’t touch you.
But it all depends on who your opponent is.
Promoted to a Hall Master, just a ntion from him and you could be put in deep freeze!
Speaking plainly, a local bigwig is just a larger-scale guard dog. If you don’t obey, there are plenty of other dogs more competent and obedient than you!
"Recently, have you been mixing with Ye Wei and their group?" Wei Chen asked.
Wei Changqing nodded, "Yes, I’ve been smoothing things over with them. Feng hasn’t been around lately, so you haven’t seen him, but my relationship with Ye Wei and the others has improved a lot. Now, I go to the club every day to hang out with them."
"We can only hope for an opportunity to go to Beijing. If you get the chance, you must make a personal trip to pledge your loyalty," Wei Chen said.
Wei Changqing nodded, swallowing hard, "Okay."
Just like them, Director Chen from the city office, who once dined with Wei Changqing at the villa and had ideas about the Tianfeng company, was shivering in his office.
He felt a trendous mountain pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe!
He slapped himself fiercely!
Indeed, trouble cos from the mouth. That day at dinner, he shouldn’t have revealed his interest in the Tianfeng company!
The bosses of those companies were all present. If they decided to ss with him and spread the word...
Director Chen turned pale at the thought!
No!
He needed to redeem himself!
Yes, Lin Yue’s great-uncle, Lin Langsheng!
He must add Lin Langsheng’s na to the list of nominations for market entry in each jurisdiction!
Although the final decision was in Gu Yuan’s hands, his recomndation would allow Gu Yuan to recuse himself.
