I accept Chapter 300, but I have one condition.
I accept Chapter 300, but I have one condition.
Chapter 300 I accept, but I have one condition.
Upon hearing this, Li Jie's lips twitched involuntarily.
After thinking for a moment, he finally sighed helplessly and accepted the reality.
"I accept, but I have one condition."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan smiled and nodded.
This is right~
As long as you agree, all conditions are negotiable.
"Tell me, what are your requirements?"
"Any task involving special teams or personnel deployment requires my approval. Without my consent, no one except Commander Ye and Commander Zuo has any authority to deploy personnel, including your assistants and secretaries."
“That’s what I want.”
Ye Fan was stunned after hearing Li Jie's words.
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"What kind of request is this?"
"Did you really understand what I meant? I said that the deployment of special teams is not authorized by anyone other than the three of us within the Night Watch system."
"I understand. That's how it's done before, but sometimes, because there are too many things to do, there have indeed been instances where assistants have assisted in assigning tasks."
“These things shouldn’t happen once you officially take up your post in the Special Operations Division.”
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Li Jie slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He inadvertently glanced at the king's face, who seemed completely unconcerned.
"Then there are no other problems."
After receiving a definite answer from Li Jie, Ye Fan stood up and explained to Zuo Qing, who was standing to the side.
"Since Li Jie has no other problems, you should hand over the work as soon as possible, and while you're at it, find him a capable assistant within the organization."
"Forget about having an assistant."
"you sure?"
When Li Jie refused, Ye Fan looked at the calm white-haired boy with suspicion, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Have you thought this through? Whether it's the classification and assignment of special tasks or the support, research, and replenishment of personnel, etc., none of these matters can be handled by one person alone."
"Without an assistant, wouldn't you be exhausted?"
Li Jie himself knew that after taking over the Special Operations Division, he would have to handle an endless stream of documents every day.
But he didn't want to hire someone whose background he didn't know as his assistant.
Moreover, his future decisions could very well affect the lives of the special team members.
However, he does need a secretary who can share these responsibilities with him.
With that in mind, he already had a perfect candidate in mind.
"I'll find an assistant myself, so there's no need for you two commanders to trouble yourselves."
"So, you've already decided who you want to use?"
"Yes, but she won't be able to come for a few days."
"Since that's the case, then we won't say any more. Zuo Qing will explain the remaining rewards and subsidies to you during the handover."
After saying this, Ye Fan waved his hand lightly, and Wang Mian and the others tactfully walked out of the house. Clearly, what he was about to say was only directed at Li Jie.
After Zuo Qing closed the door, Ye Fan pointed to the sofa next to him, indicating that Li Jie should sit down.
"Don't blame me, there really wasn't anything I could do about it."
He sat down next to Li Jie and began to speak to himself.
"We had originally intended to promote young senior executives to participate in the Night's Watch decision-making process."
"But unfortunately, Wang Mian's strength is a bit lacking, Xia Simeng is an unreliable person, and Bu Li is even more so... You should already know the situation of their team."
"As for Lin Qiye of the fifth squad, he is indeed a good choice. He is talented, capable, and meticulous. However, he is still missing. If you hadn't kept saying that their lives were safe, I would have held a memorial service for them."
"After careful consideration, it seems that you are the only one who meets the requirements."
"And when we received your battle report from Olympus, we became even more determined to give you more responsibility."
"........"
At this point, Ye Fan suddenly became speechless, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"I don't know why, but ever since you left the Great Xia, I have been unable to contact Yuanshi Tianzun. Perhaps something went wrong with the Heavenly Court's repairs."
"Therefore, if we want the people of Great Xia to survive in this chaotic world, we still have to rely on ourselves more."
"Alright, I've said a lot of general principles, I won't say anything more."
"If one day Zuo Qing and I are to perish, if you are willing, please lead the Night Watch... to continue on this path!"
Ye Fan spoke at length, and his words were so moving that they could bring tears to the eyes of anyone who heard them.
But Li Jie managed to glean some key words from it.
If one day both commanders were to sacrifice themselves...
Let me lead the Night's Watch onward?
Could it be...?
What was he thinking?
Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
They won't make my buddy some kind of commander-in-chief, will they...?
No way! I want to live for another two years!
However, Ye Fan did not give Li Jie a chance to refuse, but waved his hand to signal the latter to leave on his own.
He pretended to lie on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.
Seeing this, Li Jie could only stand up and take out the guiding compass he was carrying and place it on the table.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we didn't need it on this trip to Olympus, so we'd like to return it to you for now."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Since things have already been said to this extent, it seems that if I were to say anything more, it would be a bit of a mood killer.
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, Ye Fan's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
After the door slammed shut, he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.
"That brat..."
Not long after Li Jie left, Zuo Qing turned the doorknob and opened it a crack. Seeing that only Ye Fan was left in the room, he also sneaked in furtively.
"Old Ye, has it been settled?"
"I guess it's settled..."
Upon hearing Zuo Qing's voice, Ye Fan opened his eyes, walked back to his desk as if nothing had happened, and took a sip of tea.
"This kid is unusually vigilant. If I hadn't pretended to be heartbroken, I probably would have been rejected by him without hesitation."
"See, I knew this kid wouldn't agree, but..."
"It has to be you... You even managed to shut him down?"
"A minor issue~~"
"Alright, Li Jie's matter is now settled. Next, let's discuss the establishment of the sea fortress defense line."
"Wait a moment, I'll call the chief engineer over..."
