"Many people died last time, but I know that high-ranking soldiers like you have a high survival rate. It's good that you survived," Old Wang said.

These days, death is a normal thing. When war breaks out, high-ranking soldiers also die in waves.

Chen Wang and Old Wang hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they chatted for a while in the conference room.

Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open, and a fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged man walked in. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a well-proportioned figure, and somewhat long, narrow eyes.

The other man was burly and had a slightly flushed face.

This fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged man is Xu Shouyi, the Special Task Committee Member for this mission.

The man next to him is his bodyguard, Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng was originally a top soldier in the military, with outstanding physical qualities and extremely high combat skills. He was later selected...

He is a level three Earth Mutant, extremely powerful, and has the lives of many criminals on his hands.

Old Wang's secretary hurriedly followed in, but before he could say anything, Old Wang raised his hand to stop him.

The fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged man smiled and said, "Excuse me, Old Wang, I have something urgent to discuss with you."

Old Wang said calmly, "What is it?"

"It's about forming Reconnaissance Team," the fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged man said with a smile.

Old Wang frowned. "This matter has already been discussed. It's not wartime now, so there's no need to form another Reconnaissance Team."

"That's not how it works. Who knows if those Church remnants will make a comeback? I think we should be careful. I'll handle this personally. Old Wang, you can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

The phrase "to reap the benefits without sowing" is extremely unpleasant to hear.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang simply smiled faintly and said, "I have guests here; we can discuss this matter later."

"Guest... is this young man?" The fair-skinned, beardless middle-aged man glanced at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang was dressed casually at the time, with handsome features and an extraordinary temperament.

Xu Shouyi was about to say something, but after seeing Chen Wang's appearance, he just smiled faintly, "I was being presumptuous. Since we have guests, you can chat slowly. However, there is no need to discuss this matter any further. I was just saying hello to Old Wang. Old Wang is getting old, so he doesn't need to worry about these things."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shouyi, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and no beard, left with a smile.

Throughout the entire incident, the red-faced guard kept his sharp eyes fixed on Chen Wang.

Chen Wang didn't seem to care, as if he didn't feel anything at all.

After the two left, the secretary said, "Committee Member Xu insisted on barging in just now, and I couldn't stop him. I'm sorry, Old Wang!"

The old man, weathered by time, had deep features and was originally extremely irritable. But when Chen Wang saw him again, he found the old man to be surprisingly calm. "It's alright. How could you stop him? Xiao Fan, you can go now."

The secretary nodded and left respectfully.

Old Wang turned to Chen Wang and said, "I'm sorry you had to see this. He's Special Task Committee Member, and he's here to supervise me."

Chen Wang simply smiled faintly.

He is not in a position to accept or get involved in such matters or situations.

Old Wang said, "Xiao Chen, you've come to see me this time because you have something to ask me?"

Chen Wang nodded. "That's right, I want to join Qiongqi Mining."

Old Wang was also taken aback when he heard this. He had thought that Chen Wang wanted to know some information or some Gene Serum.

"You joined Qiongqi Mining... to become Tier 4 Soldier?"

Old Wang realized it in an instant.

This young man was unruly and used to being free, like a sharp, swift knife.

Now, he is willing to become an official, and apart from the promotion path to Tier 4 Soldier, Old Wang can't think of any other reason.

"That's right, only by joining the official ranks can one become Tier 4 Soldier." Chen Wang didn't try to hide anything.

Old Wang smiled slightly, "It's wonderful that you're willing to join. I'll have someone process your paperwork right away!"

After a pause, Old Wang added, "There will be a lot of reviews coming up, but you don't need to worry about them; it's all part of the normal process."

Chen Wang nodded.

Old Wang suddenly smiled and said, "That Special Task Committee Member Xu Shouyi is currently recruiting. If you go to him, you will definitely be given an important position."

Although Xu Shouyi was somewhat domineering, he did not speak rudely to Old Wang when he saw him receiving guests. He was testing the old man's bottom line.

"Okay, then I'll go find him." Chen Wang nodded.

Old Wang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was just kidding. You're a fierce general, do you think you'll be able to handle him?"

"I'm just a little curious. You should have been in another Shelter during this time. If you wanted to join, anyone would welcome you if you just asked. In that situation just now, I was clearly at a disadvantage, so why did you still come to me?"

The old man, who had experienced many hardships, asked with a smile in his eyes.

"I was still considering it, but after seeing what happened just now, I made my decision."

Chen Wang said.

Old Wang was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"Feel."

"Oh? How does it feel?"

"I feel like you're going to kill him."

After Chen Wang finished speaking, Old Wang was stunned for a moment.

Hahahaha!

The gloom in Old Wang's eyes vanished completely.

He laughed so hard he coughed a little, and it took him a long time to stop.

"I haven't laughed this heartily in a long time, Xiao Chen, you have a bright future."

"It's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. If I join now, shouldn't you treat me well, Old Wang?" Chen Wang blinked.

Old Wang said with a smile, "I thought you were just a pure killer, but it turns out you have so many ideas."

"Don't worry, I will give you the greatest freedom and support if you join at this time."

Old Wang said.

Chen Wang's gaze fell on Old Wang's deeply etched face. "Good!"

Old Wang laughed heartily. He was determined to keep such a high-ranking soldier, who was notorious for his fierceness and was incredibly reliable.

Next, Old Wang didn't just spout empty words; instead, he simply described his plans for Chen Wang's future.

"I won't set too rigid standards for you, but of course you'll have to go through the proper procedures. I'll also plan your advancement to the fourth tier properly in the future, so don't worry about that."

Old Wang chatted with Chen Wang for a while, and it was all very informative.

This old man is indeed very steady in his work.

Old Wang knew that someone like Chen Wang didn't like being bound by rules, so it was already quite good that he was willing to join the officialdom.

Furthermore, such people should be used as sharp blades; good steel should be used on the blade, and a certain degree of freedom can be given them.

Chen Wang agreed with Old Wang's arrangement, and he felt it was better to stick to what he knew rather than what he didn't.

"Old Wang, there's something else I need to do," Chen Wang said.

"What is it?"

"A head."

"A head? Whose?"

"Song Ming".

Then, a loud crash echoed from the conference room! Old Wang excitedly knocked over his water glass, staring intently at Chen Wang, his eyes brimming with undisguised elation!

"You killed that wanted criminal from headquarters!"

After receiving Chen Wang's nod,

Old Wang suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahahahaha!"

"Awesome!"
