North Continent, Tianyi Group Headquarters, Northwest Strategic University Conference Room.

Chen Rui sat majestically at the head, glanced at Mohammed expressionlessly, ignored him, and continued to look through the documents handed over by the secretary. The latter stood upright at the conference table, as well-behaved as a

Elementary school students.

Although Mohammed is a senior executive of the Sky Ant Group, he still doesn't look that impressive in front of Chen Rui, the chairman's eldest son and one of the top three figures in the group.

What's more, when the Northwest returned to Mohammed's hands, there was a Dharma Protector Committee, and the other party even expelled all levels of Supervision Department personnel from the Sky Ant Group.

"After the rebellion in the cities in the northwest, the wild words spread to other cities were echoed by many cities. Under the banner of democracy and freedom, they openly opposed the establishment of a unified government in the northern continent.

"Some cities that act arrogantly think that they are far away from the Devil's City and beyond our reach. They are already forming so-called law-enforcement armies in order to fight against the group and to uphold the agreement signed during the Twilight War."

Finally, Chen Rui spoke indifferently, "Mohammed, what do you want to say after hearing these things?"

Mohamed was sweating like rain, and he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "It's all my fault. It was my failure to take good care of the northwest, which allowed those traitors to take advantage of it. I am willing to bear all the blame and ask the Archdeacon to punish me!"

Chen Rui sneered: "Can you afford to bear all the blame? Mohammed, do you think that as the actual commander of the northwest station, you are considered a figure and can carry things on your shoulders?"

"Hundreds of thousands of law-enforcement troops appeared in the Northern Continent overnight. The group's regular army is only small. Do you want everyone to break their legs and become fire extinguishers for you?

"The group's great cause of conquering the Northern Continent and establishing an empire was advancing in an orderly manner. If everything goes well, the empire will be established next year. But now, the whole world is rebelling, and the situation is out of control, but you come to tell me that you

Willing to take charge.

"Can you handle such a big thing?!"

Chen Rui's last violent shout made Mohammed's knees weaken and he fell to the ground with a thud. He didn't know what to say or what else to do, so he could only keep admitting his mistake.

"Brother, you are being a bit unhuman. He only has two shoulders and one head. What's the point of forcing him like this? Even if he is cut into pieces, he cannot bear the responsibility."

On the other side of the conference table, a young man with his legs crossed on the table, wearing a silk robe, spoke lazily. His robe was in a retro style, and his hair was long, pinned with a hosta.

He looks like a dandy from ancient times.

The third son of Tianyi Group, Chen Qi.

The retro style that has prevailed in Devil City in recent years is part of the Sky Ant Group's preparations to build an empire. Not to mention the wearing of long-sleeved robes and the custom of making tea and playing the piano, the group's top management has even begun to keep maids and slaves.

"According to what you said, let's just forget about this matter and not pursue it further?" Chen Rui, who was dressed in straight clothes, asked meticulously.

Chen Qi chuckled softly, and while playing with the jade pendant in his hand, he said: "I understand what brother means. Mohammed is the person recommended by me. Of course, I have to bear the responsibility for the crimes that he cannot bear.

"

Hearing what he said, Mohammed looked up at him gratefully.

Chen Rui said calmly: "You are willing to take responsibility, which shows that you have grown up. My father will be very happy to know about it. This is also the best thing for the group.

"But, how do you plan to shoulder this responsibility? The group is now in the founding stage of the country, and there is no need for me to say more about how important rewards and punishments are. Even if we are brothers, I can't protect you too much."

Hearing this, Muhammad not only looked sad, but also felt uneasy.

He was Chen Qi's man, and the loss he suffered in the northwest was big or small, but Chen Rui made it clear that he wanted to escalate the matter in order to take the opportunity to attack Chen Qi.

The chairman of Tianyi Group has many sons, and it has not yet been established who is the first heir. The group is so big that it is impossible to separate the families, not to mention that the group is about to become an empire.

Because of this, competition among young masters has become fierce over the years.

As the eldest son, Chen Rui has great abilities, outstanding achievements, and extraordinary prestige. Of course, he is the most powerful. However, other talented young ladies and young ladies have also grown up over the years, and each has gained some power and influence.

Among them, the third young master and the fifth young lady are the most powerful. They are both extremely talented and beautiful people, deeply loved by the chairman, and with the support of the matrilineal forces, they have become Chen Rui's fierce rivals.

——The chairman of Tianyi Group is not the only woman who is qualified to win his favor. The one who can bear children for him must first have a prominent family background.

"Understand, if you want to win people's hearts, this is what you should do."

Chen Qi threw up the jade pendant in his hand and reached out to catch it. Even though he was talking about important matters related to his wealth and future, he was still relaxed and informal, "I am willing to suspend all my functions at the headquarters."

Hearing this, Muhammad couldn't help but change his expression! Suspending his functions at the headquarters means he is far away from the center. No matter how big a business he presides over in the future, he will just be a part-time worker.

Chen Rui didn't expect Chen Qi's concession to be so big.

Something touched his heart.

It's not that he was moved by Chen Qi, but he felt that the punishment was too severe. I'm afraid the chairman would not agree. If he decisively accepted the other party's proposal now, it might arouse the chairman's dissatisfaction.

Chen Rui looked at Chen Qi: "What are your conditions?"

He doesn't think the other party is a fool. If the other party is willing to make such a big concession, he will definitely make up for it elsewhere.

Chen Qi put away the jade pendant, put his arm on the conference table, leaned forward, and looked at Chen Rui with a smile: "However, the eldest brother also said that we are brothers after all, and you will not even have a chance to make meritorious deeds. Give it to me?"

Chen Rui was noncommittal: "How do you want to be punished and make meritorious service?"

"Of course you get up where you fell." Chen Qi said with a simple and sunny smile on his face, "I will go to the northwest to deal with the rebels and those rogue parties."

Chen Rui's heart tightened.

The first thing he thought of was that Chen Qi wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain military power!

The troops that Tianyi Group has been recruiting one after another have been secretly training at major bases. The chairman has never let his children get involved in this matter, and the power has always been firmly in his own hands.

But this situation cannot last forever. Once the army is trained, it must be drawn out to fight, and the leading general will naturally have an influence on the troops under his command.

Now the regular army has just come out of the training base. The first batch of soldiers to go to the battlefield have just arrived in the northwest not long ago and have not yet joined the fight. None of these so-called gentlemen and ladies have ever had contact with the army.

Now, Chen Qi wants to be the first to eat crabs!

How could Chen Rui not feel overwhelmed?

Chen Qi is not taking responsibility for his crime. He is clearly retreating in order to advance. With a simple choice, he can instantly transform a very unfavorable situation into the most beneficial opportunity for him!

Of course, Chen Rui couldn't just watch the other party get involved in the army.

But he did not reject Chen Qi immediately.

Leading troops into battle allows you to get in touch with the army and have the opportunity to establish your influence on the army. However, the battlefield is dangerous and Chen Qi is not a practitioner in the saint realm. Who can guarantee that he will not encounter any danger when he goes to a battlefield filled with smoke?

In danger?

If Chen Qizhe is on the battlefield, wouldn't Chen Rui lose a powerful enemy?

"This is a big matter, and I don't have to say anything. It's up to the chairman to make the decision." Chen Rui said in a businesslike tone. He needed time to carefully weigh the pros and cons. After he thought about it clearly, he would go to see the chairman and provide the advice.

own opinions.

Chen Qi relaxed his body and leaned on the chair carelessly: "Then I'll bother you, brother, I'm waiting for your good news."

Chen Rui nodded and said seriously: "You grew up in a peaceful era and don't know the cruelty of the battlefield. It's a good thing to want to contribute to the group and make contributions, but you must also be mentally prepared and do what you can."

He is like a good big brother who cares about his brothers.

Chen Qi smiled so much that he showed his white teeth: "Thank you for reminding me, brother, I will pay attention to it."

...

After lingering in the headquarters building for half a day, Chen Qi, who had not received any news by the time he got off work, felt that there would be no results about going to the northwest today, so he left the building with Mohammed.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw a graceful woman wearing kimono and clogs, standing in front of a stone pillar looking at the scenery of the square, motionless, as if she had blended in with the flowers beside her.

Chen Qi showed a headache and distressed expression, waved his hand to signal Mohammed to drive, and walked to the woman alone, shouting:

"Oh, fifth sister, what a coincidence, we met in front of the gate. What, you are waiting for someone? Then I won't disturb you, let's have dinner together another day."

As he said that, he wanted to rub oil on his feet and run away, but the woman's quiet and cold voice had already sounded, and she grabbed his feet forcefully: "It's you I'm waiting for."

Chen Qi turned his neck stiffly, but looked flattered:

"Oh my God, Fifth Sister is waiting for me? The sun rises in the west today, right? If you have anything to do, just tell Third Brother. If Third Brother can do it, he will do it. If he can't... you can't

It’s my fault!”

The woman with her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen had a beautiful appearance. It was obvious that she was a beautiful woman. However, it was a pity that Chen Qi couldn't accept the makeup. Her black hair was piled up high, and her whole face was painted pale, as if it covered the whole body.

Apply some flour and put a touch of red on the center of your lips.

Coupled with her expressionless look, she looked like a ghost.

"Are you going to the northwest?" Chen Huihui locked her sharp eyes on Chen Qi, and her voice was as cold and hard as the sound of metal friction when a sharp blade is unsheathed.

"As expected of Fifth Sister, she is well-informed!" Chen Qi gave a thumbs up, but did not continue the topic. He looked around and talked about other things, "The weather is nice today, suitable for swimming. Are Fifth Sisters interested...

..."

He knew that Chen Huihui hated swimming the most.

But he also hates being stared at all the time. Who among the normal people keeps staring at the other person's eyes without moving away when talking to them?

He also hates the other person's clothes and makeup.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Chen Huihui's eyes seemed to have some kind of magic power, able to hook the person she was talking to, making them unable to dodge.

Chen Qi spread his hands and said innocently but helplessly: "My people made mistakes, I have to take responsibility, right?"

"So you've decided to leave?" Chen Huihui went straight to the point, "Are you willing to die?"

Chen Qi sighed: "There is nothing we can do. We are born as members of the group, and we die as the group's ghosts."

Chen Huihui turned around and left.

The conversation was very simple and abrupt.

But Chen Huihui got what she wanted to know: Chen Qi was determined to take control of the military despite taking great risks!

Watching Chen Huihui walk away, Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Every time he got along with the other party, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, today's meeting was short.

Just as he was about to pat his chest to regain his composure, Chen Huihui suddenly turned around, looked him up and down, and said coldly: "I don't like your robe, it doesn't look good on you."

Chen Qi straightened his opened collar and smiled awkwardly but politely: "I think it's okay."

He yelled crazily in his heart: "I don't like your kimono either! Father asked us to be retro, but he didn't ask us to pretend to be ghosts and scare people!"

The clogs squeaked on the floor tiles as they walked away.

This sound fell into Chen Qi's ears, as unpleasant as a drumbeat. He shook his head and turned to leave. He couldn't help but complain: "It's all the fault of this damn place in the Northern Continent. It doesn't even have an ancient history.
