Chapter 1537 - 1538: Ye Fan Is the Boss
Ye Fan not only wants to redistribute power from Zhao Gongming’s hands, but more importantly, he plans to infiltrate the action team members into the security team, especially the task of the research facility’s monitoring room, which must be handled by the action team.
This was decided by Ye Fan long ago, leaving no room for Zhao Gongming’s resistance.
Zhao Gongming was naturally dissatisfied with such arrangements; with this setup, he directly withdrew when he held significant power.
Retreating to the background and not participating in direct leadership work, how could Zhao Gongming possibly be happy?
Zhao Gongming expressed his dissatisfaction and opinions, but under the command of Ye Fan and the authority of Uncle Sun, he could only reluctantly acquiesce to Ye Fan’s arrangement.
"I don’t understand, why are you forcing me to withdraw from the direct leadership of the security team?" Zhao Gongming protested.
Although he accepted Ye Fan’s arrangement, he couldn’t avoid feeling full of dissatisfaction.
This was also a signal, was it suggesting that he was being suspected, hence the arrangement?
Thinking about this, Zhao Gongming’s mood sank to the bottom.
"Don’t overthink it, why would it be suspicion?" Uncle Sun interjected, "Sacrifice during a critical moment is no big deal."
Uncle Sun remained calm, and his words were full of consolation, naturally, he couldn’t be too heartless toward Zhao Gongming.
"You shouldn’t try to avoid suspicion or doubt our intentions, it’s unreasonable." Ye Fan casually replied, "Whatever we do, you only have obedience; any argument or dissatisfaction is unwarranted."
Ye Fan was blunt and couldn’t care less about Zhao Gongming’s reaction.
He only had the duty to issue orders and wouldn’t pay any attention to Zhao Gongming’s dissatisfaction.
Compared to Uncle Sun’s attitude towards Zhao Gongming, Ye Fan was much colder.
Uncle Sun, Zhang Lu, and Li Tong remained composed; Ye Fan’s attitude was hard for Zhao Gongming to accept, and they were also somewhat uncomfortable.
But it was just discomfort after all.
Other reactions naturally didn’t follow.
Zhao Gongming gave Ye Fan a meaningful look, a trace of anger flickered deep in his eyes.
Due to the different nature of work, he only had the qualification to comply with Ye Fan’s instructions, not to challenge.
Yet, Ye Fan was indifferent to his expression, leaving Zhao Gongming with resentment.
"Leader Zhao, he’s always businesslike when he speaks, don’t take it to heart." Zhang Lu smiled, trying to mediate.
"I understand, and I get it." Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly, "I have only one hope, don’t treat me as an outsider. I’ve worked at the research facility for many years; if not for achievements, at least it’s been a hard effort."
If the action team directly moved into the research facility, then Zhao Gongming would have no role left.
Given this, how could Zhao Gongming willingly accept?
"I have only one command, within my supervision, no other voices are allowed, and this includes you." Ye Fan looked at Zhao Gongming and said unyieldingly.
Zhao Gongming was a veteran and contributor at the research facility, yet Ye Fan didn’t care.
This was what Zhao Gongming was dissatisfied with.
"You..." Zhao Gongming glared at Ye Fan, speechless for a moment.
He wanted to get angry but lacked the confidence, truly unable to question Ye Fan’s orders.
Even if reported, it would be fruitless, leaving only him at a loss.
Because Zhao Gongming understood one thing, was Ye Fan the most powerful?
No matter the matter or choice, it was all decided by Ye Fan.
Zhao Gongming was truly powerless.
Moreover, with Ye Fan’s orders, he had no choice but to unconditionally comply; what right did Zhao Gongming have to speak?
