Around two-thirty in the afternoon, after reviewing a large stack of materials, Jiang Yue rubbed his forehead and stood up. He stretched and loosened up, giving himself a good chance to relax.
His subordinates told him the meeting room had been cleaned and all preparations were complete. They had also confirmed that everyone on the meeting list had been notified.
By then, quite a few people on the list had already arrived at the meeting venue.
A few of them had even asked Director Liao to arrange an early meeting with Jiang Yue.
As a big shot parachuted in from outside, Jiang Yue might have had an ordinary background before, but he now held the title of Executive Director, had the Joint Command Group behind him, and had Central Hub backing him. That alone made the vast majority reluctant to underestimate him.
So it was only natural that some people wanted to pay Jiang Yue a visit in advance.
Jiang Yue didn't put on airs. He asked Director Liao to take everyone to a small reception room and arrange tea and refreshments.
He soon went over to greet them.
He struck the right balance: neither putting on airs nor fawning, while still making sure to observe the basic courtesies.
They wanted to use the opportunity to size him up. Jiang Yue was just as keen to use it to size them up.
Everyone attending the meeting was a key figure in Yun City's defense system. Their willingness to cooperate would determine whether the city's defense succeeded or failed.
A brief meeting like this wasn't the time for a long speech or excessive seriousness. They mainly exchanged updates and gave everyone a chance to air their grievances.
If they were facing any difficulties, they should feel free to bring them up.
