The New Sequence Committee

The sequencing conference has concluded.

Ren Yisheng died suddenly.

The negative consequences of live streaming.

Many things either came to an end or began on the same day.

That night, not only did the researchers of the Sequence Committee get bogged down in their research, but the production team of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" also reluctantly started their project, and newspapers and television channels began publishing unsubstantiated news.

The approval process for Ren Yisheng's medical projects was also completed in a short period of time.

"These are the main issues. What do you all think is the best way to minimize the potential risks?"

In the inner conference room of the Sequence Committee, Chang Kongyinghao, as usual, presided over the temporary meeting in his capacity as the acting chairman of the rotating committee.

At the highest-level meeting of the Scarlet Alliance State, the participants were no longer the familiar faces of the past, but rather newcomers recommended by various powerful Lineage.

"First, the rules and regulations of the sequencing conference need to be further improved. It is forbidden for anyone to bring visual recording devices or other filming equipment, and it is also forbidden to disclose any information related to the sequencing conference in any way!"

The first to speak was a tall, slender man.

He rested his slightly pointed chin on his hand and chose the simplest and easiest topic to respond to.

"Acting Committee Member Zhong Ping'an makes a lot of sense. The rules and regulations of the Sequencing Conference need to be further improved," Chang Kongyinghao nodded.

"Those who violated the rules and regulations should also be punished," Zuo Quan said.

"Acting Committee Member Zuo Quan makes a good point. What kind of punishment do you think would be appropriate?" Chang Kong Yinghao continued, nodding.

"We've launched an investigation into Feiyu Live for allegedly leaking state secrets," Zuo Quan said. "Besides a fine, the company must also allow our personnel to conduct an on-site investigation, and we need to take over the core software program."

"I've heard that the Zuo Household family owns a company called Xinfei Entertainment Live Streaming? It seems that the company also operates live streaming software?"

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Someone brought up the situation of the companies under the Zuo Household again, which Zuo Quan repeatedly denied.

But his expression was slightly gloomy.

Clearly, any proposals he put forward will inevitably be rejected or targeted if they involve any vested interests.

"Raise your hand if your company is involved in live streaming ecosystem software," said Chang Kongyinghao.

"Please raise your hand if you are interested in this as well," Chang Kong Yinglian added.

"The Sequence Committee needs to maintain impartiality. Any points awarded to those with vested interests will be reduced, while the percentage of votes awarded to those without vested interests will be increased," Zhou Yueyan said. "While you may not have participated in many discussions on similar topics, you should at least be aware of the rules. If anyone cheats and is subsequently disqualified from the committee, they shouldn't blame the relevant regulations."

"I hate this rule!"

Zuo Quan muttered something, but he still obediently raised his right hand in the end.

"I think when you're punishing Feiyu Live, you should pay more attention to the power struggle behind it," Song Bu'er said. "Don't forget, we in Western Capital were the first to implement the rules, with our elders relinquishing their power and staying out of trouble, but Lineage in other provinces and cities haven't fully followed suit."

"Brother Song means that our current Sequence Committee is not strong enough to suppress those people from other provinces and cities," Li Yingbo explained. "Right now, it's best for everyone to stabilize relations in Western Capital, avoid unnecessary complications, and wait until the inspection of the Allied countries is completed before making a decision."

Song Bu'er was undoubtedly still looking after the Ren Household lineage, and even the Zhang family, and Li Yingbo chimed in to agree.

The two exchanged a fleeting glance before turning their attention to the others.

"My husband is indeed a bit stubborn and is just waiting for us to make a fool of ourselves so he can clean up the mess later," Zhong Ping'an nodded.

"Chang Kong Ying Hao, the acting rotating chairman, also suggested minimizing potential risks and avoiding unnecessary complications. After all, Western Capital and other provinces and cities are engaged in a public opinion war, and we need Fei Yu Live's cooperation to try to completely confuse the situation. Moreover, the Ren Household..."

Zhou Yueyan pointed in the direction of the Jishi Medical Center in the Academy District, which left Zuo Quan speechless.

A living Ren Yisheng wields considerable influence, while a dead Ren Yisheng can also cause countless troubles.

The Ren Household and Zhang families are clearly very close, and punishing the Zhang family might trigger a backlash from Ren Anran and others who lose control of their emotions.

If the Ren Household children portray Ren Yisheng as having died from abuse at his old age's mansion, such slander can never be washed away.

Many people took over the duties of the Sequence Committee one after another, but as long as things got out of hand, their proxy power would inevitably be taken back, and the entire Western Capital would likely return to the state it was before the new regulations were promulgated.

"They got off too easy," Zuo Quan said indignantly.

The events are connected, and it's not hard to foresee the consequences.

But the thought that his company's live streaming software had cost tens of millions of yuan and hadn't even made a profit made Zuo Quan feel somewhat resentful.

He sullenly propped his head up with his right hand, thinking about the possible final statements from the meeting, and felt that the meeting was as good as no meeting at all.

"You want to drive the horse fast, but you don't feed it, and you're even thinking about bleeding it out. Who would work for you?" Zhong Ping'an shrugged.

"They're not here to work for me," Zuo Quan muttered.

"But if they do their job well, they can protect us; if they mess things up, it can affect you and me," Zhong Ping'an said.

"An unexpected disaster!"

"It can only be said that we were unprepared and incompetent during the transition between the old and new generations," Zhong Ping'an said. "If you all want to secure your positions and avoid future troubles, you must not always be concerned about the worth of your own Lineage when you do things, lest you regret it later."

"I'd like to ask everyone who's entered the Old Age Mansion if there's any possibility of getting out for fresh air," Professor Luo Hui asked. "My father was locked up for over half a year, and every time I could see him, it was only through that tiny window. Isn't that a bit too much of a bullying of honest, rule-abiding people?"

"This matter..."

Chang Kongyinghao frowned, and the other acting committee members exchanged bewildered glances.

For most people, the initial design of the twilight mansion was simply about locking people up inside; they never considered releasing those locked up.

But Professor Luo Hui's words are not without merit.

"As long as we can confirm that their mental state is stable, and as long as the corresponding Lineage are willing to bear the consequences, it may not be impossible for them to go out for a walk. However, we need to carefully consider how to conduct the tests and how long they should be out," Chang Kong Yinglian stated.

Luo Tianming did indeed set a good example. In fact, it was only after he took the initiative to enter the mansion of the elderly that some of the older people began to relinquish power and gradually fade out of the power center of the Scarlet Alliance State.

If the matter concerning the elderly residents' residence could be handled a little better, it might bring some peace of mind to the elderly residents.

"Isn't this for our own good?" Professor Luo Hui continued to suggest.

His words struck a nerve with some people.

For these "old princes" who are entitled to inherit the rights, the oldest is close to seventy years old, and the youngest is over forty.

The younger generation naturally has little fear, but for the older generation, the time spent in the twilight mansion is actually not very long.

In just over a decade, it will be their turn to move in.

Some of the relevant clauses can be appropriately relaxed. This would not only help maintain the current social order where there is still considerable conflict, but also make them more willing to relinquish their rights and abide by the rules in the future.

"At least we did some work in this area, so the trip wasn't a complete waste!"

Zuo Quan muttered something.

Knowing he would inevitably be interrogated and slapped by Zuo Lianguang when he got home, he felt that he could finally bring Zuo Lianguang some good news today.
