Dick Old Star, in distant orbit.

The hatch of the Evil Slaying Department's starship opened, and staff members carrying various documents and server fragments entered the ship.

Among them, a dozen middle-aged men and women were escorted into the hatch.

They were all core members of the Erosion Dream Group, controlled by the four major corporations two months prior, and now directly handed over to the Investigation Division.

Before the bridge porthole, Bao Hetong, gazing at the youth standing in the void, once again urged:

"Dean Li, the benefits at our Investigation Office are truly unmatched, you must seriously consider it!"

"Don't worry, Section Chief Bao, I will."

Li Qingshan waved with a smile, watching the starship depart and leave the solar system.

Then, he turned his head to look at Dick New Star in the distant orbit.

On the atmosphere, light and shadows were still dancing.

The Erosion Dream Group was completely finished, but many of its entertainment companies were maintained by Kong Lanxin and others, and the Nova Star's entertainment programs had not stopped.

"Cherish the last carnival!"

Li Qingshan smiled faintly, took a step, crossed the void, and plunged into the atmosphere.

He returned to the academy silently, re-entered the practice room, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered the Martial Dao Space.

Time passed day by day, and the date of the Academy Council was getting closer and closer, and the discussions on the Internet were increasing.

"Have you guys noticed? Some time ago, Assistant Yang of the Erosion Dream Group seemed to have been taken away."

"Not just Assistant Yang, other general managers haven't shown up for a long time either. I guess something must have happened to the Erosion Dream Group."

"Why bother so much? The daily programs haven't stopped, right? Whether there is Erosion Dream Group or not, it doesn't affect Nova Star!"

"I guess it must be because of the 'Mining Operation' that caused infighting among the five major corporations. This time, I guess the Erosion Dream Group lost."

"Hehe, in the past, when they fought among themselves, we were the ones who suffered in the end, but it's different now."

"That's right, the Academy Council is about to be held, Dean Li will definitely stand up for us!"

"The 'Mining Operation' has such great benefits, the four major corporations will definitely not give up. Let's first think about how to change the contract terms, and then we'll leave a message on the academy website, asking Dean Li to help us negotiate!"

"Yes, yes, Dean Li is here now, he won't let these big corporations run rampant. Our Dick New Star has finally seen the light of day!"

The Academy Council concerns the future of all Dick Star people. As the time approaches, more and more people are paying attention.

Dick New Star, with thousands of cities and billions of people, spends almost the entire day on the Internet, so naturally they won't miss it.

Related posts are posted one after another, and the comments below are constantly being refreshed.

Not only Nova Star, but also the few remaining people on Old Star are closely watching various online statements.

After all, most Old Star people are full of longing for life on Nova Star, but they have not yet had time to immigrate.

Under the anticipation of everyone, the time came to June 15th.

The day of the Academy Council had arrived!

On this day, the sky danced with light and shadows, the city's neon lights flickered, and the excitement remained the same.

However, the billions of people on Nova Star rarely focused their attention on various games and entertainment, but instead stared at the projectors, waiting for the results of the meeting.

Suddenly, Bang! Bang! Bang!

A muffled sound came from every corner, that was the sound of projectors being turned off.

In thousands of cities on Nova Star, the dancing light and shadows in the sky disappeared instantly, and the holographic projections in the city and the advertising projections between buildings also went out together.

The entire planet fell into unprecedented silence, and all the people were stunned and unable to adapt for a while.

The next moment, Bang bang bang!

Another burst of muffled sounds, and huge projections suddenly appeared on the ceilings of all cities.

It was not an advertisement, nor was it any entertainment program, but a simple conference room.

The head position on the conference table was empty, and three men and one woman were sitting on either side below.

"Kong Lanxin, Miss Kong!"

"Zhang Chongchao, chairman of 'Locke Gene'!"

"And the chairmen of the Zheng and Li families!"

"Live broadcast, this is the Academy Council live broadcast!"

Exclamations continued to sound, and the people around also retracted their gazes from the communication devices, looked up at the sky, and showed anticipation.

"Live broadcast is good! This way, we can avoid any tricks that keep us in the dark!"

"It must have been Dean Li's suggestion! I knew Dean Li wouldn't collude with the Big Four corporations!"

"Oh? You suspected Dean Li before?"

"Hehe, don't pretend. Weren't you worried too?"

"Wait, something doesn't seem right. The Federation Council has eleven seats, with the Big Five companies each holding two. Why are only four chairmen here this time?"

"Could it be they've already colluded? Even if Dean Li secures the Erosion Dream Group's two seats, that's only three in total. If the Big Four corporations conspire together..."

"Damn it, what about the vote later? What about our contracts?"

For a moment, billions of people frowned, unable to suppress their worries.

Just then, "Quiet, Dean Li is here!"

In the sky projection, the conference room door was pushed open, and a young man with a faint smile on his lips walked into the room.

Kong Lanxin, along with the chairmen of the Zhang, Zheng, and Li families, quickly stood up and respectfully said:

"Greetings, Speaker Li."

The noisy cities fell silent in an instant, everyone staring wide-eyed, their faces full of confusion.

"Speaker? When did the Federation Council get a 'Speaker'?"

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Li Qingshan walked to the head seat and sat down. At the same time, he raised his hand and gestured downwards, smiling faintly:

"Please, everyone, sit down."

After Kong Lanxin and the other three were seated, Li Qingshan nodded and said:

"Before we begin the formal agenda, I'd like to announce something."

"From today onwards, we will abolish the terms 'Old Star' and 'Nova Star' and revert to 'Primary Star' and 'Secondary Star'."

Kong Lanxin and the others were taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently, neither agreeing nor objecting.

Because this wasn't an agenda item, it was merely an "announcement"!

And under the Nova Star's sky, thousands of cities erupted after those words were spoken.

"How can this be! I've been a Nova Star person since I was a child, how can I become a Secondary Star person?"

"No way, absolutely not! The Old Star is almost deserted, why should it still be the 'Primary Star'? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"What are the Big Four corporations doing? Object!"

"Alright, stop shouting. Didn't you hear what they called him? Dean Li is now the Speaker!"

"Is this the Speaker's authority? A word is law?"

"Don't panic, it's just a title, what's there to care about? The key is the contracts, the benefits, the treatment!"

"That's right, now that Dean Li is the Speaker, it will definitely be easier for him to fight for better terms for us."

After a brief uproar, everyone once again turned their attention to the sky, their eyes filled with even greater anticipation.

And in the sky projection, Li Qingshan was also looking at the camera, looking at everyone on the Secondary Star, and smiled slightly.

"I know everyone is looking forward to this meeting, so now I will talk about today's agenda."
