483: Chapter 483 This matter is definitely not over

"Commander Yan, why are you so conflicted? The original purpose of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was to make money. Now that this burden has been thrown off, aren't they still making money? As for whether it changes ownership, what does it matter? I think it's pretty good now; we don't have to worry about those trivial little things, and the profit margin has increased quite a bit," Oriental Chen said with a smile.

"This..." Yan Zhengping was stunned.

There was nothing wrong with that statement.

When they originally had actual control over the Huatong Chamber of Commerce, the number of employees had already reached over a hundred thousand, and various expenses were a huge figure. There were already a lot of major and minor issues, and now with people causing trouble, fighting back and forth only wasted energy and would exhaust people.

Anyway, all of the Chamber of Commerce's tech products were produced from the main base. Now that they had let go, they still had to buy them. They wouldn't earn less money, and they wouldn't have to worry, nor would anyone cause them trouble anymore. It was killing multiple birds with one stone.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "He who is skilled in defense hides in the most secret recesses of the earth."

With the successful divestment of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone who wanted to attack instantly lost their focus.

"You're right, I was too attached," Yan Zhengping also understood.

Does it make a difference whether the Chamber of Commerce is held in hand or not?

No.

But holding it in hand was a bomb; only by throwing it out could he avoid hurting himself.

A brilliant move.

Having understood this, Yan Zhengping looked completely relaxed.

He laughed at himself, sometimes truly feeling that he, a man in his dozens, wasn't as open-minded and letting go as a young man. Who could he complain to about this?

He hung up the phone and re-entered the assembly hall.

The scene was dead silent, with everyone looking as if they had lost a billion dollars.

Baili Ji saw Yan Zhengping enter, turned his head to look at him, trying to discern some clue from his expression.

He knew that Yan Zhengping must have already contacted the Ulan Neutral Zone.

Yan Zhengping's expression was very relaxed, and he even nodded at Baili Ji.

Baili Ji frowned and returned the nod.

"This isn't right. Could it be that Oriental Chen isn't dissatisfied?" he pondered inwardly.

"Old Yan, Old Yan. What's the situation exactly? What did Xiao Chen say?" Zongzheng Yue pulled Yan Zhengping to a seat and asked in a low voice.

Suo Tonghua also leaned his ear closer.

Yan Zhengping made a shushing gesture, indicating he didn't want to discuss it here.

"What are you shushing about! Let me tell you, this matter is definitely not over! The council isn't a bandit, and if the Supervisory Department dares to openly snatch it, I, Lao Zong, will be the first to object!" Zongzheng Yue said indignantly.

"Let me tell you, when that Jiao Zizhuo comes later, don't you dare chicken out. Push back hard, and I'll back you up!"

"Zong Si Yan is right! I, Suo Tonghua, also declare that this matter cannot be overlooked!" Suo Tonghua also chimed in.

"Push back what? We're having a meeting, not a gang fight. Later, everyone just listen and don't say anything!" Yan Zhengping retorted.

"I've realized you're just a coward! Feel your own conscience, how much has Xiao Chen done for our Huaguo in the past year or so? A twenty-something-year-old kid, constantly cautiously hiding in a pitch-black base, why? Isn't it because no one's looking out for him?"

"Even so, he still relied on his intelligence and hard work to build over 300 underground bases for the common people before the crisis arrived. This saved hundreds of millions of people, a Merits that reaches the heavens, wouldn't you say? If it were in the past, he would be qualified to have temples built and monuments erected, receiving incense offerings!"

"Now what? The deed is done, no one praises him, no one acknowledges him, instead, a large group of people are racking their brains trying to snatch the fruits of his labor! Is this even human conduct?"

"Let me tell you, no matter what, we cannot back down today. If everyone just plays it safe, then where is the fairness and justice in this world?"

"Did you hear me?" Zongzheng Yue nudged him.

Yan Zhengping glanced at him sideways, saying nothing.

"Zong Si Yan's words are right! Old Yan, don't be a coward, fight them! I support you!" Suo Tonghua interjected.

"Count me in!" Shen Tu Zheng Hao, who knows when he came over, suddenly spoke from behind.

"Hey! What are you all doing? If you listen to me, then no one says a word," Yan Zhengping said, exasperated.

"Damn it! I've really seen through you. You're just a coward! You're nothing!" Suo Tonghua was furious when he heard this, pointing at him and cursing in a low voice.

"Exactly, coward!" Zongzheng Yue also cursed.

"Get lost, get lost! Who's a coward? You don't know anything, why are you making such a fuss?" Yan Zhengping glared back.

"Hey, Old Yan..." Just then, someone suddenly spoke.

"Get out!"

It was Liu Feiying.

He was just about to come over and talk to Yan Zhengping when Suo Tonghua and Zongzheng Yue simultaneously shouted at him to stop.

"Alright, alright! You all go back to your seats first," Yan Zhengping dismissed the several Military Region Commanders.

"Councilor Liu, do you need something from me?" Yan Zhengping asked politely.

"I just wanted to ask you, what exactly is going on here? How did the Huatong Chamber of Commerce suddenly come under the management of the Supervisory Department?" Liu Feiying asked in a low voice.

"Councilor Liu, I apologize, but I only found out after the announcement was made. I'm not very clear on what exactly happened either," Yan Zhengping replied.
