Chapter 616, 6th Member of Parliament
"We are extremely excited that Boss Su is willing to join the Watchers!"
Li Kunlin walked forward with a smile and shook hands with Su Chen.
Behind him, Zhao Man, Luo Xiaotian, Xiang Mengmeng, Du Cheng, and others were all present!
In addition, many unfamiliar faces appeared among the senior staff.
"You're too kind, leader. It's my honor to join the Watchers!"
Su Chen chuckled lightly.
"From now on, I'm a member of the Watchers. Leader, please don't call me Boss Su anymore."
Seeing Su Chen's humility, Li Kunlin became even more satisfied.
"Come on, let me introduce you."
"This is Wang Kai, one of the five chairpersons of the base."
"This is the speaker, Yang Xingdong."
"..."
On the surface, the Watchers Alliance appears to be run by Li Kunlin alone.
That's not actually the case; within the Watchers, there are also different factions.
Li Kunlin only serves as the chief councilor of the Watchers.
Below him are five other members of parliament.
However, Li Kunlin had a high reputation and was decisive and correct in handling affairs.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, these five senators do not interfere in the base's daily affairs.
However, if there is anything of great importance, Li Kunlin will convene a council meeting to discuss it with the five councilors.
"Brother Su is indeed a promising young man!"
"Yes, the Watchers will be in your hands from now on."
Several councilors said with smiles.
However, Su Chen could sense that one or two people were somewhat hostile towards him.
This made him a little strange.
Bringing people to join the Watchers yourself can be said to have strengthened the Watchers' overall strength.
Furthermore, I have no grudges against these people.
Why would they be hostile towards me?
But soon, Su Chen understood the reason.
Li Kunlin led Su Chen and the others to the conference room.
Besides him and Su Chen, there were five other councilors and Zhao Man pushing a wheelchair; there was no one else.
After everyone was seated, Li Kunlin chuckled.
“Su Chen, we Watchers value your arrival highly, and I intend to appoint you as a councilor.”
The moment Li Kunlin uttered those words, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became delicate.
Two of the councilors clearly showed their dissatisfaction.
Su Chen had heard Zhao Man mention before that the five councilors in the base were all extraordinary.
Before joining the Watchers, they were all leaders who dominated Rain City.
But under the coercion and enticement of the Watchmen, they eventually joined.
To appease these people, Li Kunlin appointed them as councilors, granting them immense power, and also allowed them to retain their own staff.
Li Kunlin appointed Su Chen as the sixth councilor. The others didn't say anything on the surface, but they definitely disagreed in their hearts!
Su Chen is just a country bumpkin from Shannan. Even if he has some ability, he shouldn't have become a councilor right away!
With his arrival, the power of the others will inevitably be weakened!
Of these five people, two are in a group, one is neutral, and the other two are biased towards Li Kunlin.
Generally speaking, when it comes to important matters, voting often results in a three-to-three tie.
But when Su Chen became the sixth councilor, their balance was broken.
After all, he was brought in by Li Kunlin, so he would definitely side with Li Kunlin.
Besides.
They had also heard rumors that Li Kunlin intended to appoint Su Chen as the next leader.
The shelters under the jurisdiction of the Watchers Alliance have a total population of over 100,000!
Managing so many people requires considerable power!
Nobody wants to hand over such power to someone else!
"Um, Speaker, Su Chen is still young. Isn't it a bit hasty to appoint him as a member of parliament?"
An unremarkable middle-aged man spoke slowly and deliberately.
His name is Zhu Dahai, and he and another councilor named Jiao Tengfei are among those who frequently disagree with Li Kunlin.
"Yes, what will the others in the base think?"
As soon as Zhu Dahai spoke, Jiao Tengfei immediately echoed his words.
"Sigh, the country has been advocating for the promotion of young people. Not to mention now, in this apocalyptic world, it's definitely the most capable who will rise to the top."
"That's right, during Operation Cold War, this Brother Su really stole the show. Many of us admire him greatly!"
Wang Kai and Yang Xingdong, who were on good terms with Li Kunlin, spoke up for Su Chen!
“My views are similar to those of Councilor Wang and Councilor Yang.”
Li Kunlin gripped the wheelchair with both hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the last councilor, Xu Hong.
"What does Representative Xu mean?"
The current situation is 3 vs 2.
If Xu Hong agrees, it won't matter even if Zhu Dahai and Jiao Tengfei object.
However, Xu Hong, who always maintained neutrality, naturally did not agree.
He chuckled,
"I think what the Speaker and my colleagues said makes sense, and I don't have any good ideas at the moment."
"How about this, we temporarily appoint Su Chen as a temporary councilor, so as not to give him too heavy a burden."
"If he performs well in the future, we'll make him a permanent employee."
"If he doesn't do well, let him gain more experience."
What are your thoughts?
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but curse inwardly.
He is indeed an old fox.
After all that, no substantial advice was given, but no one was offended.
"So, Su Chen, what do you mean?"
Li Kunlin then looked at Su Chen.
"I have no objection; I'll leave everything to the Speaker."
Su Chen remained calm.
I have an indifferent attitude towards whether or not I become a member of parliament.
He came to Rain City and joined the Watchers.
He simply wanted to use the power of the Watchers and the powerful monsters around Rain City to increase his own strength!
"That's good."
Li Kunlin nodded and stopped dwelling on the matter.
In his opinion, with Su Chen's strength, he would stand out sooner or later!
"Next, let's talk about exploring the secret realm."
Upon hearing the words "secret realm," Su Chen's heart stirred.
The biggest motivation that brought him to Rain City was the secret realm.
"Zhao Man, explain the details to Su Chen."
Li Kunlin nodded to Zhao Man behind him.
Zhao Man then recounted all the information about the secret realm in detail.
To Su Chen's surprise, the secret realm was actually related to Mingyuan Group, which was behind A Biao.
Like the Tiger Gang, the Watchers Alliance also frequently organizes small teams to hunt monsters to improve their strength.
Not long ago, a group of Watchers went out to a place dozens of kilometers away from Rain City to hunt monsters and collect supplies.
That area is basically outside the territory of Central Province and is located on the border with Eastern Pan Province.
Unexpectedly, the Watchers discovered members of the Mingyuan Group there!
But those people all looked rather miserable!
