Chapter 1777 Windfall

The team leader carefully took the badge. After identifying it for a while, he was suddenly shocked. He knelt on the ground with a bang, raised his hands high, and returned the badge to me. He said in a deep voice: "I don't know if this is Xiao An." Lord Yi is here, so I have offended you, please forgive me!"

I laughed and said, "Don't be surprised if you don't know. Besides, I came here uninvited. If you want to tell the truth about right and wrong, it's my fault first."

"I don't dare!" The team leader was helped up by me, and the other dwarves slowly stood up from the ground, all of them looking ashamed and bowing their heads in silence.

This is what I like about dwarves, not only because they are loyal and loyal, but also because they know their integrity. This alone is better than some races that talk about benevolence and morality, but are full of male thieves and female prostitutes.

After that, I walked side by side with the leader, and the girl followed me, followed by a group of elites. A person walking in the middle picked up the young man and dragged him away like a dead dog.

The young man was stunned for a long time, his face turned pale, and he could not say a word. The originally beautiful clothes were also stained with dust during the dragging process, and there were many damages. His arms and legs were also bumping against the steps. It's green and purple when you touch it.

The last few dwarves walking at the end automatically stopped and cleaned the bodies lying on the stairs and the blood stains on them.

After entering the house, I sat on the sofa with the team leader and talked. When we got to the point where we were happy, we both laughed and completely ignored the young man who was slumped on the ground a few steps away with a lifeless face.

After chatting for a while, I glanced at the desk and saw a few cups and a teapot on it, so I planned to ask someone to pour me tea. Before I opened my mouth, the girl standing beside me moved first. She moved quickly and took the initiative to give me some tea. We each poured a cup of tea with the team leader.

I was a little surprised at the girl's ability to observe people's emotions. I was stunned for a moment, then thanked her, took the tea cup, and continued to chat with the leader while drinking.

After another ten minutes, I felt that the conversation was almost over, so I casually glanced at the young man who was sitting motionless on the ground, frowned and said, "Are there no talented people in Lijie City?"

The team leader looked ashamed and said, "Yes."

"Then how come there is such a person as the chief executive?" I smiled half-heartedly and said, "Or are all the talented people in Lijie City looking like this?"

The team leader looked even more ashamed. He suddenly stood up, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Sir, my subordinates have reported the situation here to Master Dewey several times, but have never received a reply from the master."

I nodded and told him not to get excited and sit down to talk.

The team leader just stood up, sat back down, and told me the entire process of selecting the leader of Lijie City.

The former director of the Lijie City Magic Airship Base was this young man's uncle. When he retired, he elected the young man as the current director.

Speaking of which, this kind of recommendation is not a special case. Although there are only four towns in Zephyr Continent that have set up magic airship bases, there are countless large, medium and small towns among them, and older chiefs abdicate almost every year.

If someone abdicates, there must be a replacement. Selecting a qualified successor is not only time-consuming, but also energy-consuming. Master Dewey's family has a big business, and today's magic airship base is just one of his small industries. It was simply not worth wasting his time and energy, so Master Dewey delegated the qualifications of selecting personnel to the chiefs.

Human beings all have greed, and people with upright character may be able to suppress their greed and hand over the position of chief executive to juniors with upright character, but there is also the kind of nepotism that is not so good.

Take the former chief of Ridge City for example. I don't know what his character is, but the replacement he chose is an out-and-out dandy.

Not only did he act according to his authority, but what was even more outrageous was that he ignored the rules set by Master Dewey and controlled the take-off time of the magic airship without authorization.

This is an unforgivable sin.

At the moment, I took out the calling crystal and dialed Master Dewey.

Not long after, Master Dewey's voice came out: "It's Xiao Yi, is something wrong?"

I explained the whole story, and Master Dewey breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just such a small thing."

"Father, this is no small matter. A thousand-mile embankment will collapse in an anthill. If we continue to let this kind of thing go unchecked."

Before I could finish speaking, Master Dewey interrupted: "I am studying ancient texts and have no time to pay attention to such trivial matters. Since it is the loophole you discovered, you can solve it yourself."

I sighed softly and said, "Yes, I understand."

Then, the call crystal was silent, but there was no sign of hanging up the call. Since Master Dewey did not hang up the call, it seemed a bit unreasonable for me, the adopted son, to hang up the call rashly, so I had to bite the bullet and wait.

A few minutes later, Master Dewey's voice came out again: "Okay, I will transfer all the business of the Magic Airship Base to your name. If you encounter similar loopholes in the future, just solve it yourself and don't bother me anymore." It’s me.”

I suddenly looked confused, my eyes were twitching, and I didn't know whether I should feel happy or helpless.

You old man really knows how to be the shopkeeper!

Just as I was about to say another word, Master Dewey had already hung up the call.

On the side, the team leader hurriedly stood up and congratulated: "Congratulations, sir."

Immediately afterwards, a group of dwarves also shouted loudly: "Congratulations, sir."

I leaned on the sofa and was silent for a few seconds. I glanced at the young man and said, "Bring the previous president here, let me see if he is blind and deaf. He actually elected such a character as the president. His responsibility is not small."

Several dwarf elites responded and hurried out.

The team leader glanced at the young man with disgust and said, "Sir, what do you plan to do with them?"

"The Magic Airship Base is a private enterprise working for Master Dewey. It only needs loyal subordinates and does not need a local emperor." I waved my hand and said, "Since they have done something they shouldn't have done, they have to pay the corresponding price. Remember, This is the first case I have discovered, so I won’t ask for compensation, but the money he and his uncle embezzled when they were in power must be investigated. This money must be recovered. As for what to do with him and his uncle , kill it, it will be a disaster if you keep it."

"Yes" the leader responded calmly.

When the young man heard that he was about to die, his face turned pale with fright. He rolled and crawled over, but was firmly held to the ground by two dwarf elites. He shouted for mercy and kept crying. Soon, other staff members were alerted. , one by one lying at the door and peeking in.

The young man was tired of crying and saw that it was of no use, so he had to pull out his family background and threatened: "My family and the Carter family are related by marriage. If you dare to touch me, the Carter family will not let you go!"

I ignored this guy's threats.

Not long after, his uncle was also escorted over. He looked at me with a dead look on his face and sighed: "I had imagined that this day would happen, but I didn't expect that it would actually come."
