Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 798 - 418: Promotion to Dongye State Councilor! (10,000-word request for Monthly Ticket!)

What status does Elder Tang hold?

One of the founders of Eighth Sanctuary, the number two figure, head of the Fengtian Faction, in charge of the Eighth Sanctuary's economy, administration, public welfare, and several other domains.

It can be said that he is truly second to one, above tens of thousands.

Such a significant figure is only seen by the upper echelons of various cities on television or in newspapers.

During the Supreme Council meetings, Elder Tang always sits in the seat of honor, and right now, everyone present here, including Tang Feifei, could not even enter the meeting venue...

Such a true significant figure, every word he utters has a profound impact on those below.

Not to mention such a commendatory evaluation!

Therefore, in that instant, Ai Li, Ji Qinglin, Shi Youxin, and even Lü Cheng all felt as if darkness had descended before their eyes.

Elder Tang traveled far from the Sanctuary straight to Xinjie City.

He spent a night in Xinjie City, and 80% of his time was spent with Qiu Tu. The others did not even get a glimpse of him.

When he encountered Qiu Tu on the way, he had Qiu Tu board his vehicle, and now before leaving, he even praised Qiu Tu.

This was practically sculpting a Golden Body for Qiu Tu!

Unless Qiu Tu committed something unforgivable, who would dare touch him?

And now... the attention of all the significant figures from all 16 cities in Dongye State is almost entirely focused on Xinjie City.

This scene before them, happening in a public setting, they believed, would spread like wildfire before long.

By then, Qiu Tu's prestige and influence in Dongye State would reach a new peak.

If that's the case in Dongye State, there's even less to say about Xinjie City, Xinjie City Investigation Bureau.

They even envisioned the day when Qiu Tu would dominate over the entire Xinjie City...

"This motherfucker really doesn't give any chances," Lü Cheng, the smartest among the group, was practically grinding his teeth.

Even though he had found several significant and minor issues with Qiu Tu these past few days, with Elder Tang's "confirmation," it all became useless!

To go against Qiu Tu now would be like slapping Elder Tang in the face, wouldn't it?

Not to mention him, a mere Special Duties Department Director, even Huang Shangzong wouldn't dare to stroke this tiger's whiskers.

Of course, these are the thoughts of the high-ranking officials who are opposed to Qiu Tu.

For high-ranking officials close to Qiu Tu, like Guan Xiao and Chen Feng, upon seeing this scene, their eyes blazed with excitement.

Who wouldn't want the person they follow to rise rapidly in status?

Haven't you heard the saying that when one person achieves enlightenment, even their pets ascend to heaven?

Now it's clear Qiu Tu has gained Elder Tang's favor; if he can further progress, their paths to promotion will also open up, right?

Because of such ambitions, Guan Xiao and Chen Feng's loyalty levels went up by 5 or 6 points!

Their loyalty levels had reached values of 80, 90, where each increase by 1 was extremely difficult.

This also shows the magnitude of Elder Tang's impact.

However, the sharp increase in Guan Xiao and Chen Feng's loyalty levels didn't catch Qiu Tu's attention.

What caught his attention was the surge in Guan Weihua's loyalty.

"Guan Weihua's loyalty +19, current loyalty 58."

Guan Weihua's loyalty was previously only 39, which is a normal value.

This value means that as long as Qiu Tu is Guan Weihua's leader, Guan Weihua will execute missions seriously and obediently.

But if Qiu Tu is no longer his leader, he would no longer be able to command him.

In other words, Guan Weihua's "loyalty" was to the "official position," not to Qiu Tu.

But now... a loyalty surge to 58 points indicates that Guan Weihua's "loyalty" has started to shift from the "official position" to Qiu Tu himself.

Qiu Tu could order him to do something unrelated or even contrary to his work, and he would be willing to do it.

"Has he had a change of heart and wants to side with me?"

Thinking this, Qiu Tu kept a calm demeanor on the surface and then saluted Elder Tang earnestly, "Please rest assured, Speaker, I will do my best."

"Mm," Elder Tang nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and then got into the car.

The motorcade started and headed towards the outskirts of Xinjie City.

Watching the back of Elder Tang's motorcade, Qiu Tu's heart was filled with pride.

Although... he had sacrificed a precious "Yellow Charm," now it seemed that the gains far outweighed the losses.

Just the momentum Elder Tang created for him twice would become his valuable political capital and lay a solid foundation for his path to becoming Deputy Speaker!

Moreover, Elder Tang's visit also completely stabilized the otherwise somewhat unsettled Investigation Bureau.

Even... in a short time, City Hall's Commissioner Jiang and the military's Major General Lin Chuan would be suppressed by Qiu Tu.

It could be said that Qiu Tu's prestige and influence are now definitely standing at the peak of Xinjie City!

And... it's not over yet.

Perhaps Elder Tang's political stance was indeed so influential that the meeting originally scheduled for half a month later to appoint Qiu Tu as a "Dongye State Legislative Council Member" was brought forward.

Huang Shangzong came up with a reason to convene the members who were about to return to their respective cities after the reception failed, and then a temporary meeting was held.

The meeting content included some recent economic and military changes in Dongye State, Huang Shangzong's planned "Disaster Zone Infiltration Plan," and... what seemed like an addition but was actually the most important "Member of Parliament" supplementation plan.

When Dongye State was established, the heads of the three main institutions from each of its 16 cities automatically became members of the State Council, totaling 48 members.

Among them, Li Tingdong, Ye Mingfeng, and Liu Xiongyuan became Deputy Speakers.
