Yang Jian did not want to attack Jiang Shangbai at the headquarters. He was just testing the attitude of the headquarters and showing his determination.
The purpose is to see which side the headquarters will take.
If Cao Yanhua chooses to isolate himself on Jiang Shangbai's side, then Yang Jian will choose to resign and go home without hesitation. On the contrary, if Cao Yanhua chooses to side with himself, then he can attack his circle of friends without any scruples.
.
I believe Cao Yanhua can understand this.
No one would allow a group of enemies ready to attack them outside at any time.
What's more, Cao Yanhua knew Yang Jian's temper, so there was no compromise, tolerance, or reconciliation between the two.
The brief impulse was quickly subsided.
Almost everyone attending this meeting has arrived.
In addition to Cao Yanhua and Wang Xiaoming who were responsible for the content of this meeting, there were also key members who participated in the previous ghost painting incident, Li Jun, Chen Yi, Guo Fan, Zhong Shan...Su Fan, Liu San.
People who attended the meeting last time were still present this time, such as Feng Quan, Cao Yang, and the stranger whose appearance I couldn't remember clearly, Li Leping.
There are a few more newcomers this time, including those who survived the last training base, Zhang Lei, Huang Ziya, and the college student Wang Jiang.
Of course, the old man who was most afraid of Yang Jian from the Republic of China period, Mr. Qin, was also present.
It can be said that the number of people is even greater than last time.
Yang Jian even found an inconspicuous kid among the crowd.
Xiong Wenwen?
I had the experience of working with this naughty kid last time at the Caesar Hotel. His ghost is very special. He can predict the future for about ten minutes, which plays a very important role in dealing with supernatural events.
Counting Jiang Shangbai and a few others.
The number of ghost masters in the entire conference room has reached an astonishing fifty, and the most important thing is that most of these people are not city leaders.
In other words, there are still many people who did not attend this meeting.
"There are more people than last time, Leg Brother, nothing big will happen, right? Haven't you received any inside information recently?" Feng Quan asked in a low voice.
Yang Jian shook his head and said: "I don't know. Although I have been in this city recently, I have paid little attention to the news at the headquarters. What about you? What have you been busy with recently? It seems that you have been away for a while."
"Of course I went on a business trip and almost didn't come back. How about you?" Feng Quan didn't look good, as if he had experienced a pretty bad incident.
"Me? Don't you know everything? The ghost painting incident happened a few days after I survived the ghost. I just brought a ghost painting out of a school yesterday. Although I didn't die there,
But we also took a big risk, that painting is not easy to deal with." Yang Jian whispered.
"I don't know how many times a meeting like this can be held. Maybe we won't see each other next time." Feng Quan sighed.
Everyone's life is not easy, and they may die at some point.
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly: "So we can't go on like this with the constant occurrence of supernatural events. We can't afford it. We have to find a breakthrough. Otherwise, if we solve the supernatural events one by one, we will die sooner or later."
"Oh, Yang Jian, have you discovered anything recently?" Zhang Lei on the other side came over and asked.
"There are some uncertain clues and I need to take a risk." Yang Jian shook his head slightly: "Maybe it's an opportunity, but maybe I'm overthinking."
Feng Quan squeezed out a stiff smile on his ugly face: "Forget it, let's not think about this for now. By the way, have you contacted Tong Qian recently? She should have come here around the same time as us, but she has been
I haven’t seen her, and I didn’t attend this meeting. I originally wanted to ask her for help during my last business trip, but I couldn’t get in touch with her.”
Tong Qian?
Yang Jian immediately remembered after being reminded like this.
Tong Qian also came here, but after looking at the entire conference room, she was not seen in person. According to the current situation, it is impossible for the headquarters not to contact Tong Qian.
And Tong Qian is no longer an ordinary ghost controller.
She has mastered two ghost faces and died at the same time, and has become one of the top ones.
"I don't know, I've never seen her before." Yang Jian told the truth.
"Could he... be dead?" Feng Quan guessed.
Yang Jian immediately said: "It's impossible. It's very difficult to kill Tong Qian. Needless to say, ordinary people will die as soon as they meet. Supernatural events are possible, but her survival rate is far better than those who control two ghosts.
She is a human being, so the possibility of her death is low, and the possibility of her being a ghost being revived is even less likely."
No one knows the special nature of Tong Qian better than myself. After all, she is an alien created by herself according to the method on the human skin paper.
"It seems like I need to spend some time looking around. I don't know many people alive, so I can't just ignore them." Feng Quan pondered.
Yang Jian nodded and said: "It makes sense, I will pay attention to this matter."
As we spoke, the meeting was almost about to begin.
At this time, Liu Xiaoyu behind him suddenly handed over a piece of information: "Yang Jian, this is the information for this meeting. You can take a look at it first."
"Huh? You're still here like this?" Yang Chen said in surprise after receiving the information.
Liu Xiaoyu suddenly looked at him strangely: "This is not your home, why can't I be here?"
"Where's mine? Why don't I have one?" Zhang Lei asked from the side.
"I am Yang Jian's operator, and I am not responsible for you." Liu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
"Uh..." Zhang Lei was speechless.
It seems to make sense.
Yang Jian opened the information, and there were several large black characters written on it: Captain Yang Jian (to be selected)
"It's the captain's plan." Feng Quan took a look and said in surprise.
"Why don't you?" Yang Jian looked at it, but he didn't get this information in his hand.
Feng Quan looked a little weirdly embarrassed: "I don't know."
He was the first person in charge of Dachang City. The second person in charge was Zhou Zheng, who died in the Ghost Knocking on the Door incident. The third person in charge (temporary) was Zhao Kaiming, who died in the Starving Ghost Incident. The fourth person in charge was
Ren is Yang Jian.
Based on his seniority, Feng Quan should be the oldest in the group.
Yang Jian looked at the other people at the conference table.
There are also many people who have obtained the captaincy.
Li Jun, Jiang Shangbai, Liu San, Li Leping...Cao Yang.
At this time, Cao Yanhua, who is the deputy minister, spoke: "I think some of you have already got the information in your hands. This meeting is mainly because of two things. The first thing is to thoroughly confirm the list of candidates for the captain plan.
The second thing is to discuss how to deal with the ghost painting incident."
"Through recent discussions, the person who currently has the information in hand has been confirmed as the captain. If everyone has no opinions, then there should not be any major changes to this list."
"etc."
At this time, a man named Xu Yiping said with a cold face: "I want to know how the headquarters relies on so many people to determine the captain? It's not that I can't trust you Cao Yanhua, but there must be a reason for this matter, otherwise
I won't agree to this."
Many people did not speak, but their eyes stayed on Cao Yanhua.
The captain's plan has not been approved by most people. It is completely determined by the personnel within the headquarters, which makes it difficult to convince others.
But Cao Yanhua also has his own considerations.
If this plan has to be approved by the majority of people, we don't know how many contradictions it will cause and how many conflicts it will cause, so unofficial decision-making is the best way.
Cao Yanhua said: "Xu Yiping, you know that you have opinions, and you are definitely not the only one who has opinions. If everyone needs a reason, then this reason should be enough."
After speaking, he motioned to the staff.
"Turn on the projector."
Soon, a list was projected in front of the conference table.
The list contains the names of almost everyone, and each person's name has a corresponding score. The first one among them is Yang Jian.
His rating is much higher than the second place.
"Each of you has a rating within the headquarters. The rating is evaluated based on the supernatural incidents you have solved." Cao Yanhua said seriously: "You can look at the ratings of each captain candidate. Without exception, they all have the highest ratings.
Among the few people, Xu Yiping, your rating is at twenty-sixth, and you are far from being chosen as the captain."
As soon as this rating chart came out, many people frowned.
Cao Yanhua continued: "Take Yang Jian, who ranks first in ratings, as an example."
After saying that, the slide jumped and entered the next picture, which was a comprehensive file of Yang Jian.
"Yang Jian, he solved the C-level headless ghost incident, the A-level human-headed balloon incident, and the S-level starving ghost incident. He also rescued two people in the S-level ghost incident. He has also recently dealt with it.
Ghost painting incident.”
"The incidents he experienced were given corresponding scores according to internal evaluation standards. This standard is very strict and will be adjusted accordingly according to the actual situation. You do not need to question it."
Yang Jian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his comprehensive information displayed in front of everyone.
However, my own ratings are indeed somewhat unreasonable.
Because according to this scoring standard, Yang Jian is not yet one of the candidates to become the captain. The S-level starving ghost incident completely added points. Just one incident added one hundred points, which is far from this one hundred points.
Far more than the second place.
Cao Yanhua continued: "If you still have doubts, you might as well roughly estimate your score according to the scoring standards. There is not much difference between the left and right. See if you can surpass several captain candidates. If you can't, then please ask
We withdraw our respective opinions and agree with this list.”
"If there are really more than a few captain candidates, you can say it in front of so many people, and I will personally give you a reasonable explanation."
"I'll give you ten minutes to self-evaluate. If you have no objections after ten minutes, then the captain's plan will be finalized. We will begin to discuss this ghost painting incident."
Cao Yanhua did not say anything in a lengthy speech, but announced the list of candidates for this captain's plan in a very concise and quick way, and then the second meeting was about to take place.
Originally, the captain's plan was decided by default, there was no voting, and no one was asked for opinions.
This special explanation is only for the sake of fairness and to avoid conflicts.
The conference room was quite quiet at the moment, and many people secretly evaluated the situation, then shook their heads and said that their experience was indeed not enough to become a candidate for captain.
Some people think it doesn't matter. Being a captain is useless. I don't know how long I can live. What kind of promotion and salary increase do I need? I joined the headquarters just to get a way to survive, and I am not really willing to sacrifice my life.
"I finally understand why I'm not on the candidate list." Feng Quan looked at his ranking and it was terrible.
He was also involved in the ghost coffin incident. According to the above evaluation criteria, he could only get a consolation point.
After that, he was trapped in the ghost coffin for more than two months. During this period, the person in charge of Dachang City changed. Naturally, he had no achievements.
In the end, the balloon incident and Yang Jian's operation were a little bit off, as well as these two business trips.
But it's still not enough to solve an A-level supernatural incident, let alone Yang Jian who has an S-level supernatural incident.
Especially since that incident was completed by a single person, no one can compare with this score.
"No wonder Cao Yanhua wants me to voluntarily resign as captain." Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly: "My score is so high. If I can't choose the captain, then no one else will be able to choose it. This time the captain plan will become
It’s a joke, now Cao Yanhua uses me as an example just to convince the public.”
"But, this is not important... Whether you become a captain or join the headquarters, it is just to survive better and improve your chances of survival."
"Beyond that, nothing makes sense."
Yang Jian looked at Jiang Shangbai curiously again.
This guy stays in the local area all day long, why is his score so high?
"His scores should have been picked up by people in the circle of friends. He was credited with many events in order to be promoted as a captain." Yang Jian thought for a moment and guessed this.
"Li Jun also has a problem. He used to be Wang Xiaoming's bodyguard. Logically speaking, he doesn't have the points to become a captain... Is it an unofficial decision?"
"Cao Yang? That guy is also the captain?"
After thinking about it carefully, he somewhat understood what happened to his captain.
Behind every captain there is a representative.
For example, Jiang Shangbai, behind him is a circle of friends and a group of big capitalists.
Li Jun, the representative behind it is also obvious.
Cao Yang? It is said that Cao Yanhua is also named Cao, maybe he is a relative or second generation.
Liu San... I don't know him well, and he may not be very prominent in this city, but he may be a huge force outside of the city.
I am the only one who can be regarded as a serious figure. It’s not that the Starving Ghosts incident happened, but now I guess I’m just a sidekick on the conference table, just for the sake of listening and seeing.
The water here is very deep.
Yang Jian sighed in his heart. Sure enough, as long as a person is alive and breathing, he will play for power and interests. No wonder Cao Yanhua persuaded him to give up the choice of captain.
I didn't think about it that much at the time, but now that I think about it, this thing is really not suitable for me, and Cao Yanhua didn't cheat me either.
Now I am just like occupying a latrine and not taking a shit. I am superfluous. After all, I am the kind of person who can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry. Guarding one Dachang City is enough.
"This captain shouldn't want it."
Yang Jian looked at the document, which detailed the responsibilities, obligations, and of course the rights after becoming a captain.
But he wasn't interested because he didn't join the headquarters for these things.
"Why don't we find time to make another deal with Cao Yanhua? This quota should be quite valuable." He was thinking about whether he should exchange it for some practical benefits.
At this time, Zhang Lei came over and said: "Yang Jian, I just heard someone say that if you become the captain, you can recruit team members. How about I join your team? It will definitely not be easy for everyone to die when encountering special events after forming a team."
"I also want to form a team." Huang Ziya also came over, for fear of being late.
Feng Quan also said: "Count me in."
Yang Jian had just thought about giving up his captaincy, but after hearing what they said, he had to reconsider.
There are certainly advantages to teaming up to deal with supernatural events. One more person adds more strength. At least you won't be so passive when encountering a large number of ghosts like Guizhan, and their respective abilities can complement each other.
Of course, there are also disadvantages to forming a team.
If something goes wrong with one member, you will not only have to face a ghost, but the level of danger will also increase.
Therefore, you must be extremely cautious when forming a team. The situation of pig teammates must not occur.
"Don't be anxious about this, let me think about it." Yang Jian neither refused nor agreed.
Zhang Lei and Huang Ziya, on the other hand, seemed very anxious. They had seen Yang Jian's ability, and he could survive a fatal ghost incident. If he didn't hold his thigh now, how long would he wait?
"Then you must give me priority. You know my abilities." Zhang Lei said very sincerely.
Huang Ziya said: "Although I'm a little behind, I'm a woman. Don't you want more women in the team? And I have very good execution skills, and I will never be the kind of person who messes up things. You know this."
"I think the two of them are very average. If you want to win teammates, you can consider Tong Qian." Feng Quan suggested.
"Yang Jian, I heard everything you said."
At this time, Xiong Wenwen, a naughty boy, came over and said loudly: "If you let me join your team, I will introduce you to my mother. My mother is very beautiful. Many people want to chase my mother, but I give them to them."
Scared away."
Many people looked at Xiong Wenwen in surprise when they heard what he said.
In order to hold my thigh, my mother gave up?
"When you said that, I suddenly felt like I was raising a baby." Yang Jian said.
"Damn, you dare to take advantage of me?" Xiong Wenwen immediately cursed: "Do you believe that one day I will urinate on your head while you are sleeping?"
"I don't believe it. If your mother wakes up, you will definitely be beaten." Yang Jian said.
"Will my mother be woken up like this?" Xiong Wenwen didn't react for a while.
Zhang Lei and Huang Ziya on the side couldn't help laughing. As adults, they understood immediately that Yang Jian had taken advantage of Xiong Wenwen again.
Xiong Wenwen didn't know what was going on, but judging from the laughter of several people nearby, it was definitely not a good thing.
"Believe it or not, I spit on you." He said angrily.
Yang Jian nodded and said, "I believe this."
When Jiang Shangbai saw this scene, his face turned dark again. What he cared about was not that Yang Jian became the captain, but that there were so many people willing to form a team with Yang Jian at the beginning. Once the team was really formed, what would they have to deal with?
But Yang Jian is not alone, there is a group of people.
The reason why Yang Jian is not taken seriously in the circle of friends is not because he is single, and killing him does not require so many scruples.
"Forget about the two newcomers. If Feng Quan and Xiong Wenwen join his team, it will be really difficult for Yang Jian." Jiang Shangbai also tried to win over Xiong Wenwen with people in his circle of friends.
This child's abilities are so special that it's impossible not to miss him.
But something went wrong along the way, and he chose the wrong partner, making Xiong Wenwen think he was thinking about his beautiful single mother, but things went south.
"The time has come, so the captain's plan has been finalized. Xu Yiping, what about you? Do you still have any opinions?" At this time, Cao Yanhua said again.
Xu Yiping was silent for a moment and said, "I have no objection to the captain's plan."
"Su Fan, what about you?"
Su Fan said calmly: "I'm not interested, you can do whatever you want."
"Zhong Shan, what did you say?"
Zhong Shan shrugged: "The ratings are not as good as others, so it's natural that I can't be the captain. But I don't have any objections to the others. Li Jun seems to be interested. I remember that he has no special contribution."
"This time, Li Jun led the team to indirectly solve the ghost incident, with zero casualties, and successfully brought back many special things. Is this reason enough?" Cao Yanhua said.
In this operation, Li Jun was specially arranged to lead the team in order to be qualified to become the captain, otherwise it would be difficult for Li Jun to convince everyone.
"Then I have nothing more to ask."
Cao Yanhua nodded: "Very good, since everyone has no objections, then this matter is over, and this matter is not allowed to be discussed in the future. The following is the main content of this time."
At this time, the slideshow jumps.
"The Ghost Painting Incident."
Several big characters appeared on the screen.
For Cao Yanhua, the captain's plan is just a general notice. It will not be specially discussed in the meeting. It takes up more than ten minutes, which is already a long time. The real task this time is still this thing that has popped up in recent days.
Ghost painting incident.
As an S-class supernatural incident defined by foreign countries, Cao Yanhua did not dare to be careless or careless at all, and must resolve it as soon as possible.
If this matter is not resolved for a day, he will not feel at ease, and many things will not be implemented as planned.
Seeing those four words on the screen, the discussion on the conference table subsided a lot.
The atmosphere gradually became a bit solemn again.
These four words seem to have a strange power that makes people really unable to relax.
