"Especially after the space structure in the office area was restored, there’s been no progress? Has the space structure restoration stopped?"
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Of course, the space structure restoration hasn’t stopped; it’s just being restored slowly, gradually, and in an orderly, planned manner."
Looking at everyone, Zhang Yu seriously and earnestly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the stability of the space structure is of utmost importance. I must be responsible for the future safety and production in the development area. Quality and safety should be prioritized in the restoration of the space structure."
Xie Lanyin said indifferently, "But how come I heard that the time was mainly wasted on dealing with the frenzied corpse items?"
"The reconstruction work in the development area has been ongoing for almost a month now, yet the frenzied corpse items in the office area have not been completely cleaned up..."
At this point, Xie Lanyin snorted coldly, "If it weren’t for the fact that you, Zhang Yu, are only in the Divinity Transformation Realm, I would say this is a serious dereliction of duty."
"Any Void Refining Cultivator would be able to clean up all the frenzied corpse items in the office area within a few days."
She said dissatisfied, "If you, Zhang Yu, had the Void Refinement Realm cultivation, the corpse items in the office area would have been cleaned up long ago, and countless office buildings would have been rebuilt by now. We wouldn’t have so many enterprises complaining to us."
Just as Xie Lanyin of the White Bone Sect finished speaking, Xie Xue of the Netherworld Palace also chimed in, "That’s right. I feel that Vice President Zhang’s realm is indeed a bit too low, his cultivation inadequate, which has slowed down the progress in dealing with the corpse items."
"If the frenzied corpse items in the upcoming factory and lab areas are handled in the same way, how much time will be needed? Several months?"
"If just the cleaning work drags on for several months, how long will the reconstruction project be delayed?"
As he spoke, Xie Lanyin projected a large amount of text on the other side, showing the discontent and complaints from various enterprises about the reconstruction progress in the development area.
Finally, Xie Lanyin revealed her true intent, saying, "Since Vice President Zhang’s cultivation and ability are lacking, let us assist you, and consider it guidance for the younger generation."
"From now on, let us handle the cleaning work of the frenzied corpse items in the factory area entirely."
Zhang Yu’s brows furrowed slightly. He understood that while Xie Lanyin spoke nicely, she was actually intruding to share his authority.
Even though the captured frenzied corpse items currently needed to be handed over to Zhang Yu for suppression using Cave Heaven Power, this move seemed non-threatening.
However, once they meddled in his work, his newly consolidated subordinates would be scattered again, seriously diminishing his authority.
Moreover, Zhang Yu understood this was only the beginning. Once this step was accomplished, it wouldn’t end—next, the opposite party would continue to erode his power step by step until he was completely sidelined.
Zhang Yu said calmly, "No need. The restoration of the space structure is closely related to the cleanup of the corpse items. It’s still best if I handle it myself."
Xie Lanyin said coldly, "Zhang Yu, this is not about whether you are willing or not; it’s about how many enterprises are waiting for the development area to be restored. Do you know how much is lost for every day the production line isn’t in operation?"
As Xie Lanyin finished speaking, a series of numbers floated behind her—calculations of losses made by each enterprise, further expressing the silent protest from various sect enterprises.
An overwhelming pressure swept over, and Zhang Yu understood this wasn’t just simple protest but a warning from the powerful cultivators behind these enterprises.
At this moment, it was as if Zhang Yu could hear a voice urging in his ears. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Faster! Faster! Faster! Don’t delay us making money!"
Zhang Yu’s heart sank sharply, and a moment of understanding flashed through his mind: "If I continue to stubbornly hold on, unwilling to speed up, it would mean less profit for those powerful cultivators behind these enterprises. I’m essentially blocking their financial path..."
The thoughts in his mind fleetingly passed, and Zhang Yu understood that just as he had used interests to motivate Kunxu Cultivators forward in the past, which could unleash immense energy, blocking them from making money would bring about immense risk.
Not to mention that the individuals behind these enterprises came from various sects and factions, often outranking him in both position and realm.
But even so, Zhang Yu was reluctant to let Xie Lanyin intervene, so he exhaled and changed his phrasing: "I will expedite the cleanup work and speed up the restoration of the space structure."
Xie Lanyin pressed on, "How fast is fast, Zhang Yu? It’s not that we don’t believe you, rather, you are after all just at the Divinity Transformation cultivation level, and at its initial stage at that."
"To be honest, keeping up with our train of thought in the meeting has already pushed you to your limits, hasn’t it?"
As she spoke, Xie Lanyin further accelerated the recall speed of the Spirit Realm.
In Zhang Yu’s perception, the entire world seemed to be operating at high speed, with the information coming from Xie Lanyin’s mouth like streaks of flashy light, of which he could only grasp a part.
"Zhang Yu, taking charge of the cleanup work... I believe you have already given it your all."
A slight smile appeared on the corners of Xie Lanyin’s lips: "But lacking cultivation is just lacking cultivation, and inability is just inability. You can’t achieve what you can’t achieve due to your realm constraints. Can you suddenly transcend to the Void Refinement Realm in such a short period?"
"Can you hear what I’m saying?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Xie Xue on the other side chuckled and said, "Mr. Xie, you’ve accelerated too much. Our Vice Minister Zhang might not keep up."
