Chapter 493: From Today Onward, My Rules Are Rules
Next, it was Financial Secretary Darrek's turn to introduce himself.
Filled with resentment, Darrek stood up and said, "I am the Financial Secretary, Mr. Darrek Reilly. Although I don't know how you got to this position..."
But you want me to cooperate with you in the future? That's impossible. You're just a lowly Chinese person; you have no right to order me around. I'm curious, how will you get things done when none of us listen to you?
Locke's expression changed.
He hadn't expected that this bastard hadn't listened to a word he said.
The other foreigners' expressions also changed, but they became gloating.
They had made up their minds, just as Darrek had said: from now on, no one would listen to this lowly Chinese man, and they would see how he could carry out his work.
When it's their turn, they'll say the same thing. Let's see how Lei Luo gets out of this mess.
Lei Luo, however, remained expressionless. Piggy stood behind him, pen in hand, scribbling notes rapidly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Lei Luo, waiting to see how he would react.
As governor, he certainly had the right to dismiss them. However, the dismissal documents had to be submitted and approved by higher authorities before they could take effect.
An order cannot take effect until it is approved by higher authorities.
These foreigners have Leroy completely under their thumb. Even if he exercises his power and dismisses them, no one will sign the documents when they are submitted to the House of Representatives.
Lei Luo sat there, neither humble nor arrogant. He said to Piggy, "Piggy, have you finished taking notes?"
Piggy nodded and said, "It's written down."
Lei Luo nodded and said, "Draft the document for me and issue it immediately. From now on, remove Darrek from his position as Finance Minister and take him into custody for an audit."
The accounts are fine; let him retire normally. If problems arise, send him directly to the Supreme Court for a severe sentence. "Bring in the men and arrest him."
Bang! The door was pushed open.
A large group of snakes rushed in with a clatter, and to everyone's astonishment, they pinned down the dumbfounded Darrek.
"Dalrek, you are under arrest. You may remain silent, but everything you say now can be used against you in court."
Before Darrek could even speak, with a click, the handcuffs were already on his wrists.
Darrek was completely dumbfounded!
The other foreigners were also stunned.
Even Locke was stunned.
"Lei Luo, you bastard, do you know what you're doing? Let me go. I'm the Financial Secretary, what right do you have to arrest me? Let me go, you bastards!"
Darrek shouted loudly.
Those snakes weren't joking with him; one of them punched him in the stomach.
Darrek jerked, unable to speak. His face turned red with pain.
Seeing this, someone finally couldn't sit still any longer. The Director of Education, Irvine, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, angrily shouting, "Rello, what are you doing? What right do you have to do this? Director William, why don't you say anything to him?"
He said this because William had previously been Reilly's superior.
Whenever William speaks, Leilo has to give him some face.
However, William chuckled and said, "Dear Mr. Ireland, Reilly is now the governor, my superior. What am I supposed to say about him?"
Forehead?
Erva was completely dumbfounded.
Yes! Réllor is the governor now. William isn't qualified to talk about him anymore.
At that moment, Erhua's expression was absolutely priceless!
In the end, Locke couldn't stand it anymore.
He said to Lei Luo, "Lei Luo, what you're doing isn't right. This isn't the proper procedure. He's the Director of Finance, how can you just arrest him like that?"
Lei Luo smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing against the rules. From today onwards, my rules are the rules. If you can face reality and cooperate with my work properly, then I don't mind keeping you around."
Anyone who dares to contradict me, or even outwardly defy me, will suffer this fate. As the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Darrek, if you dare to cause trouble at my inauguration meeting, I will not let you off the hook.
I'm putting my words here today: I'll let you call and try to find someone backing you, but no matter who comes, they can't save you.
If you dare cause trouble at my inauguration meeting, I'll crush you. You'll never get out of jail for the rest of your life.
I'm saying this not only to Darrek, but to everyone here. From now on, if any of you fail to satisfy me, I'll show you what I, Lei Luo, can do.
"Remember this: from today onward, there can only be one voice in Hong Kong, and that is my voice, Lui Lok's voice. Do you all understand?"
Upon hearing this, the room fell completely silent.
At the same time, these foreigners all felt a chill run down their spines.
Now they realize what it means to make a big splash when a new broom sweeps clean.
Darrek was the first to jump out, and he's sure to get killed.
They now realized that this Lei Luo had previously worked for the violent branch of the government. Anyone who dared to oppose him was practically asking for death.
If they can't win an argument with you, they'll just use violence to crush you to death.
"Hiss..."
The foreigners gasped in surprise.
They looked at each other, their expressions becoming quite interesting.
Even Locke didn't dare to speak at this moment.
It's clear that William is now on Reilly's side. Having seized control of the violent forces, Reilly is already in an invincible position.
Who would dare to contradict him?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lei Luo coldly ordered, "Take him out and lock him up first. We'll investigate him later."
Upon hearing this, the snakes immediately grabbed Darrek and took him away.
The meeting room fell silent once again.
Lei Luo said, "What are you all standing there for? This is for introductions. Whose turn is it?"
Upon hearing this, William stood up, introduced himself, and said that he would follow Lei Luo's lead from now on, before sitting down.
Next up was the Director of Land Affairs. He also stood up, introduced himself, and similarly stated that he would listen to Lei Luo in the future, before sitting down.
Next, it's the Commissioner of Transport's turn.
He slowly stood up, introduced himself, and said that he would listen to Lei Luo in the future before sitting down.
That's it, they've all betrayed us.
The foreigners in the remaining departments were all at a loss as to what to do.
If they stood up and disagreed, they were afraid of being punished by Lei Luo. If they didn't disagree and made them listen to a Chinese person, they wouldn't be satisfied.
Lei Luo seemed to see their dilemma and said, "You seem to be in a difficult position, so you should quit your jobs."
I will arrange for my people to come and take your places tomorrow. You'd better hand over your current work clearly. If you go back, you might still have a future.
Otherwise, you'll suffer the same fate as Darrek.
Gaa...
Were we all evacuated?
We were dismissed just because we hesitated for a moment?
Those foreigners were completely dumbfounded.
