Jiang Ye Star.
The rooftop of the Macroeconomic Building.
A spaceship bearing the Air Force insignia descended slowly.
Li Nannan was the first to disembark, clad in a brand-new dress uniform, looking sharp and beautiful.
The second to step out was a middle-aged man.
Shan Yongyan, the new planet governor appointed by the military.
Jiang Ye was missing, but not yet confirmed dead, so the position of Commander still technically belonged to him.
However, appointing Shan Yongyan as planet governor meant he was to replace Jiang Ye as the top decision-maker.
Shan Yongyan wore a smile as he gazed down at Binhai City.
"This planet is quite prosperous! I will definitely work hard to make this planet prosperous and strong!" Da Feng Novel Network
Shan Yongyan offered a fawning smile.
But Li Nannan didn't even glance at him, walking forward with a determined stride.
Shan Yongyan quickly followed, "Commander, I've already formulated a preliminary eight-year plan, divided into four strategic steps, to double this planet's development index. My plan is..."
Li Nannan suddenly stopped.
She turned back to him with an icy expression.
"Men talk too much, it's annoying."
Shan Yongyan froze, his smile stiffening. He promptly shut his mouth.
This commander had a rather unpleasant temper.
However, Shan Yongyan harbored no negative feelings, still basking in the joy of his promotion to planet governor.
They went downstairs and arrived at the conference room door.
Stiff guards stood on either side of the door. Upon seeing Li Nannan, they immediately snapped to attention and saluted, pushing the door open!
Li Nannan nodded and entered.
Shan Yongyan smiled at the guards, about to offer praise.
The two guards lowered their hands, returning to their upright stance, as if they hadn't seen him.
Shan Yongyan frowned. I'm the planet governor, shouldn't you salute me?
He didn't dwell on it and strode inside.
A crowd of people had already gathered around the conference table.
More than half of them were women, and all of them were stunning beauties.
Several were dressed so provocatively they could grace the cover of a fashion magazine.
Shan Yongyan's eyes widened, and he thought to himself, the former leader of this planet must have been a seasoned pervert!
Li Nannan took her seat at the head of the office desk.
Shan Yongyan intended to follow, but found that seats were already occupied on both sides of the head position.
The only remaining seat at the entire conference table was at the far end, in a corner.
"You can sit there," Li Nannan said, her expression neither warm nor cold, pointing to the empty seat in the corner.
Shan Yongyan paused, but said nothing more, obediently taking his seat.
After all, after today, he would be able to occupy the head seat.
"Those present today are representatives and key figures from various sectors of Jiang Ye Star. I will introduce them one by one so everyone can get acquainted," Li Nannan began.
"Isabelle, the planet's overall logistics manager and also the Regent. She temporarily handles all matters in Jiang Ye's absence."
"Feng Zhi Shuang, chief macroeconomist, responsible for the entire planet's economic calculations and planning, also a Regent."
"Che Zhen, head of the military, responsible for the planet's garrison, exploration forces, and the long-range forces on Bi Rong Star."
"Xu Yan, the highest-ranking representative of Bai Yi Real Estate on Jiang Ye Star, responsible for urban construction."
"Shao Wan, Chief of Police, responsible for the police forces in various cities."
"Ju Lan Lan, representative of entrepreneurs."
"Tian Rao, representative of entrepreneurs."
"Tang Han Liu, head of the television station."
After the introductions, it was finally Shan Yongyan's turn.
"Shan Yongyan, the acting planet governor appointed by the military."
Shan Yongyan stood up, bowed slightly, and introduced himself with a smile:
"It is a great honor to be here as planet governor. I ask for everyone's assistance and guidance. I believe we can cooperate very happily in the future..."
He stopped midway.
Because no one at the table was listening to him.
They were all whispering to each other, murmuring.
Isabelle was the most direct, speaking out loudly, "Why did they just send a planet governor? Did they get our consent? Shouldn't the planet governor be appointed by Jiang Ye? The military's actions are not proper!"
"I need to use the restroom!" Tian Rao raised her hand, then hurried away, holding her skirt.
"They called us here early in the morning just to foist a planet governor on us?" Feng Zhi Shuang yawned, taking out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket.
Ju Lan Lan and Xu Yan, seated next to her, grabbed the seeds from her hand and began cracking them, oblivious to the surroundings.
Tang Han Liu remained silent, looking down and playing with her phone.
Shao Wan and Che Zhen both looked exhausted, lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and promptly dozed off.
Shan Yongyan's expression changed!
Embarrassed! Enraged!
He turned his gaze to Li Nannan.
After all, he was the planet governor appointed by the military, and Li Nannan was the military representative. She couldn't possibly not help him, could she?
But Li Nannan was placating Isabelle.
"Old Yi, don't be angry. This wasn't my decision! I'm so busy every day, how could I possibly deal with such trivial matters? I only received the notification to bring him here."
Isabelle frowned, "We are all busy enough as it is, we don't need another dead weight bossing us around. Take him back wherever you picked him up from!"
Shan Yongyan's face turned ashen with anger!
"Bang!" He slammed his fist on the table.
Everyone jumped in surprise, staring at him in shock.
"Everyone, I am the officially appointed planet governor by the military! I understand you have deep feelings for the former Commander, but the reality is he is not coming back! Society must continue to function, and the planet needs to keep developing. If any of you present here refuse to obey my command..."
"You're talking nonsense! You damn idiot!" Tian Rao suddenly poked her head out from the doorway, cursed fiercely, and then retracted it.
Shan Yongyan turned back furiously, seeing nothing.
"Little Shan, you don't need to put on such a show for me. Daring to bang the table in front of us, you really don't know your place," Isabelle said, tilting her chin up, her expression as imperious as a mob boss. "Let me tell you the truth, you're just a figurehead, not even a mascot. Mascots are cute, not ugly. Since the military sent you, we'll cooperate. We'll pay you twenty thousand yuan a month, you don't have to do any work, just stay here and coast along."
"Rent a place or something, you can also find a part-time job to earn some extra cash," Xu Yan added. "Binhai City is building a batch of affordable apartments soon, you can get an 80% discount."
"I'm short on sales staff, day shifts and night shifts, with a base salary of five thousand a month plus commission. If you're willing, come over," Ju Lan Lan also chimed in.
"We're also expanding our auxiliary police recruitment," Shao Wan said. "The monthly salary is also five thousand, no commission, but meals are provided. If you want to join, you'll have to pass a physical fitness test first."
Shan Yongyan's face trembled with rage.
"I am the planet governor!" he shouted.
"You are a damn idiot," Tian Rao poked her head out from the doorway again and then retreated.
"Representative Li, you can't stay silent at a time like this!" Shan Yongyan looked towards Li Nannan.
Li Nannan shrugged, "I'm only responsible for bringing you here and announcing you as planet governor. How you conduct your work is not my concern."
"Alright, let's not argue anymore. Everyone's time is precious. Let's discuss the matter of rescuing Jiang Ye," Isabelle said, tapping the table with her pen.
Shan Yongyan flew into a rage, turned, and stormed out of the room!
The moment he stepped out, a fair white leg suddenly shot out, tripping him forcefully.
Tian Rao bent down and entered from the doorway, returning to her seat.
