At exactly ten o'clock, the meeting began. Shi Jin received a thick stack of documents from Fei Yujing and walked over to the first seat on the right-hand side of Zhang Zhuoyuan. He pulled out the chair and sat down, slamming the documents onto the table.

Coincidentally, Lu Shan, who was sitting next to him, raised her eyebrows and said, "Deputy Leader Shi, could you please be a little quieter? You're making too much noise."

The attention of the other organization leaders immediately shifted to them, excited at the prospect of a confrontation. The Tarantula had suffered a major loss last year, and now they had encountered the new deputy leader of their rival organization. Would this new leader of the Tarantula be able to handle the challenge from the older, more experienced Lu Shan?

"Is it too noisy?" Shi Jin looked at Lu Shan with a friendly smile. "I thought Auntie, being older, might have some hearing loss. Sorry about that, Auntie Lu. I'm a young man with a lot of strength, so my hands might be a bit heavy when putting things down or hitting someone. Please bear with me."

Gasp...

The leaders who were just watching the show couldn't help but shiver. This young man who looked like a pretty boy unexpectedly turned out to be not easy to mess with. When he confronts someone, he leaves no room for compromise!

Lu Shan was almost choked by Shi Jin's "being older" comment. Without even trying to act, she showed her anger and glared fiercely at Shi Jin: You little brat, are you looking for trouble?

Shi Jin looked innocent: Aunt Lu, it's just for the sake of the performance, please bear with me.

"The last person who dared to be so arrogant in front of me has turned to dust," sneered Lu Shan.

Shi Jin smiled and replied, "Is that so? My family doctor told me since I was young that my bones are harder than other children's."

Crackling sounds filled the air as if there were electric sparks flashing.

The leaders present finally met Shi Jin face-to-face for the first time. Seeing him sitting in his chair with a smile while confronting others, they all had the same thought in their minds - anyone sent by Lian Jun to attend the meeting would not be an easy character to deal with!

Meng Qing, Qi Yun, and Yuan Peng, who were sitting opposite Lu Shan and Shi Jin, quietly observed Shi Jin without showing any intention of speaking up for Lu Shan. They watched the scene calmly without getting involved.

"Let's all cooperate and get ready to send out the materials," said Zhang Zhuoyuan, breaking the tension by tapping the table and signaling for Shi Jin to calm down.

Shi Jin obediently closed his mouth and buried his head in the thick pile of materials in front of him.

Lu Shan coldly averted her gaze, while the others couldn't help but shift their attention to the suspicious stack of materials in Shi Jin's hands.

The meeting began to follow its procedures, and the room fell silent. After the distribution of materials, each leader of the organization received the audit information about their own organization from the previous year. This information was tracked and summarized by the officials, and it included the general trends and offenses committed by the organization throughout the year.

During the audit, if the leader of the organization had any objections regarding the offenses, they could immediately raise them and submit evidence to refute them. If there were no objections, then the normal punishment procedures would be followed, and organizations that committed serious offenses may be disbanded.

Generally speaking, the thicker the materials received by the organization, the more difficult it would be for them during the audit, as it represented that the organization had committed more offenses in the previous year.

When Shi Jin received the information on Annihilation, it was very thin, only four pages in total. Excluding the cover and back pages, there were only two pages with actual content. He casually flipped through it and discovered that Lian Jun had managed the organization extremely "cleanly". The two pages were filled with information about business adjustments in various regions of Annihilation, without a single point of wrongdoing.

He felt both proud and happy in his heart, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He put the information aside and observed the thickness of the information in the hands of other major organizations.

Apart from him, the information that Thousand Leaves received seemed quite thin, only about five or six pages. The Meridian Gate dossier was slightly thicker, with around ten pages, but Meng Qing seemed relaxed and should have no problem.

Compared to them, Snake Fang and Tarantula were having a harder time. One had been targeted by the authorities last year, while the other had a shady background. Both leaders had thick dossiers, and the situation was not looking good.

Shi Jin glanced at Lu Shan's unpleasant expression and felt a bit worried, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he organized the information and started sleeping on top of it - he had woken up too early today and was tired. Besides, the verification process was being carried out from small to large organizations, and it wouldn't be their turn until the afternoon. He didn't have to keep watch all the time.

Zhang Zhuoyuan: "..." You bastard! You're here to keep watch! Why are you sleeping?! The sound of flipping through documents in the conference room briefly stopped as all the leaders turned their heads towards Shi Jin, who was sleeping on the table.

"Deputy Leader Shi really doesn't care about formalities," Qi Yun smiled and teased.

Zhang Zhuoyuan forced a smile and said, "Yes, he's still young and not very mature... Alright, have you all finished reviewing the documents? Let's begin the official verification."

He signaled for his assistants to start working and began organizing the names of the small groups according to their assigned numbers, without any intention of waking up Shi Jin.

Qi Yun noticed this and exchanged a glance with Meng Qing and Lu Shan before looking away. The morning meeting flew by in a hurry as Zhang Zhuoyuan and his assistants focused on the investigation of the small organization. Shi Jin woke up on time as the meeting ended, rubbed the marks on his face, hugged the materials on the table, and walked away leisurely.

The leaders looked at him and thought, "This guy is so damn relaxed."

After a simple lunch break, Shi Jin arrived at the meeting room on time, placed the materials on the table, sat down on the chair, and fell asleep again.

Zhang Zhuoyuan: "..." Are you a pig? All you do is sleep!

The meeting continued as usual, and the investigation of the small organization was quickly concluded. After summarizing the findings, Zhang Zhuoyuan began to investigate the movements of the medium-sized organization.

They were busy until after four o'clock, and the investigation of the medium-sized organization finally came to an end. The investigation of the first-tier organizations began.

As if he were a lifeless corpse, Shi Jin suddenly sat up, delicately wiping his face with a wet tissue and rinsing his mouth with mineral water. He straightened his clothes and pulled out a thick stack of documents, flipping through them before glancing at the suspicious leader of the quasi-first-tier organization, Roaring Tiger, who was currently under investigation.

Everyone's attention shifted to Roaring Tiger and then to the documents in Shi Jin's hands, their minds racing with speculation. What was Shi Jin up to? What was in those documents? Was he planning to supervise the investigation of other organizations?

From a regulatory perspective, organizations can supervise each other's inspections, but generally no leader of any organization would foolishly look for trouble in this process, because everyone is the subject of inspection. Therefore, unless you can guarantee that you will not make any mistakes every year, it is best to keep quiet and not make enemies for yourself.

In previous years, Lian Jun was completely hands-off during the inspection process. Unless someone brought up an issue to him, he could sit through an entire day of meetings without saying a word. Everyone thought that Shi Jin had inherited Lian Jun's style and was also prepared to be hands-off, but now it seems that things are not quite the same.

What exactly is Shi Jin planning to do? Everyone was watching Shi Jin intently, even the Roaring Tiger leader who was being stared at by Shi Jin was secretly on guard and wary. Even Zhang Zhuoyuan was a bit suspicious, wondering if Shi Jin was planning something.

The atmosphere was tense, with everyone staring at Shi Jin, both hoping he would say something and fearing what he might say.

Then, amidst this ambiguous anticipation and vigilance, the inspection of Roaring Tiger went smoothly. Roaring Tiger hadn't done anything wrong this year, and Zhang Zhuoyuan only asked him a few questions based on the information and pointed out a few places where he had violated regulations, warning him according to the rules before putting down his information.

At the same time as the inspection ended, Shi Jin also put down the information he had been holding onto and placed it aside. Everyone became more curious - what did it mean? What does it mean to not speak? What does it mean to put the information aside after not speaking? What is written on it? Is it related to Roaring Tiger? Has anyone investigated Roaring Tiger?

Curiosity and suspicion grew infinitely, and everyone looked at Shi Jin, wishing they could rush over and snatch the information from his hands to take a look.

The leader of Roaring Tiger also stared at the information in Shi Jin's hands, his brow furrowed. Finally, unable to discern anything, he couldn't help but look towards Qi Yun.

Qi Yun was the superior organization of Roaring Tiger, and upon receiving the gaze of the Roaring Tiger leader, he raised his hand to signal him to calm down, then also glanced at the information that Shi Jin had put down, once again scrutinizing Shi Jin deeply. Zhang Zhuoyuan observed the changing expressions of the crowd and glanced at Shi Jin, then moved his fingers and continued to call out the name of the next organization on the list.

Shi Jin took out another set of documents from the pile and flipped through them while looking at the leader of the named organization. The leader remained silent, as did their superior, Meng Qing. A strange atmosphere filled the room as Shi Jin remained silent, switching between documents and observing the named leaders.

Everyone felt uneasy and couldn't understand what Shi Jin was doing. While their rational minds told them that Shi Jin was probably just being mysterious, their suspicious nature led them to think that there was something deeper going on. Finally, the last of the quasi-first-tier organizations had been investigated.

Now, only a few large organizations remained unchecked. As for the information in Shi Jin's hands, there were exactly four pieces left.

Meng Qing and the others all looked at the information in Shi Jin's hands. Even Lu Shan couldn't help but feel curious and wanted to ask what Shi Jin was up to. But due to the circumstances, she had to hold back and wear a suspicious expression while looking at Shi Jin. This made her feel even more frustrated, to the point where she almost wanted to bite the table.

"Alright, Mr. Shi Jin, we're ready to begin the investigation," suddenly said Zhang Zhuoyuan, calling out Shi Jin's name.

Shi Jin turned his head and politely replied, "Please proceed."

Zhang Zhuoyuan was having a hard time adjusting to his normal speaking style. He picked up the file on Annihilation and flipped through it, saying, "The situation with Annihilation is the same as usual, there's nothing to pay attention to. Please continue to--"

"Wait a minute." Lu Shan spoke up, interrupting the usual cliché that Zhang Zhuoyuan would say about Annihilation every year. She questioned, "Are you sure there's no problem? As far as I know, Annihilation suddenly transferred a large amount of assets last year, which is against the regulations. Normal business operations don't involve such--"

"Aunt Lu." Shi Jin interrupted her, saying, "What do you mean by transferring assets? If Lian Jun gives me some pocket money to spend, is that also transferring assets? Is your family's assets that small?"

Lu Shan couldn't believe what she was hearing and looked at him with a suffocated expression.
