Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 957 Rage

The eleven people who entered the office made what was originally a fairly spacious office seem somewhat cramped.
The three elderly men at the front looked around at the crowd with their slightly cloudy eyes, trying to find the person who had just spoken.

The seven people behind them remained silent, but their arrogant gazes spoke volumes about their attitude. Standing at the very back was Han Junxiang; his face was still pale, but his venomous eyes gave the impression of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"Uncle? Elder Fang, Elder Li, what brings you here?" Han Shanyue and Yuan Lei hurriedly stepped forward to greet the three.

However, the three old men clearly did not take the two of them seriously. Their gazes continued to wander slowly, and after a while, their cloudy eyes finally saw everyone in the office clearly, and then their gazes fell on Shi Jia.

"So you're the little girl who just spouted nonsense?" Old Li looked Shi Jia up and down with ill intent.

Shi Jia didn't say anything. The moment she saw Han Junxiang, she knew they were there to cause trouble, and their target was her.

She was definitely not afraid, but she also wanted to see what tricks they could come up with.

After a long silence from Shi Jia, Old Li's expression grew even more sour.

Seeing this, Yuan Lei quickly said, "Mr. Li, this is my daughter..."

"Hmph! Where did this wild girl come from? She has no manners whatsoever!" Old Li seemed not to have heard Yuan Lei's words and gave Shi Jia a good scolding.

"Ahem, Xiaxia is a girl, it's understandable that she's shy. If you scold her like this right off the bat, she naturally won't dare to respond." Han Shanyue frowned.

"Hmph!" Old Li glanced at Li Nan, who was being restrained. "What? Has this newly appointed Minister of Planting committed some heinous crime, murder or arson, that he deserves to be executed?"

Han Shanyue glanced at Xiao Chen, who immediately felt increased pressure. With no other option, Xiao Chen had to bite the bullet and confess all the crimes Li Nan had committed.

Old Li looked very unwell and said, "Oh, it's nothing serious, just a misunderstanding. I suppose Li Nan was worried that the base's resources would be stolen and the interests of the base's residents would be harmed, so he made a wrong decision in his haste."

"Now that things have been made clear, there's no need to dwell on it."

Han Shanyue, Yuan Lei, and the others looked grim. "Old Li, this matter absolutely cannot be explained away as a wrong decision..."

"Why not? But this little girl, I remember the base has a clear rule that all wood-type ability users are managed by the training base." Old Li stared menacingly at Shi Jia and Han Shanyue and the others.

Therefore, Han Shanyue had to produce that document again, but the current old men were no easier to fool than Li Nan, and they still relentlessly tried to control Shi Jia's personal freedom.

Perhaps having learned from the experiences of their predecessors, they never used force, only verbally attacking Shi Jia. Shi Jia found this quite boring.

"Yawn~" Shi Jia yawned, shook her head, and considered leaving.

Huh? Shi Jia looked at them in confusion, wondering why they had stopped talking. "Why are you looking at me?"

The group that arrived later had a grim expression. "Little girl, as a wood-type ability user, don't you care about the future of the base? Being so selfish is not good!"

Shi Jia blinked. "Am I selfish?"

“Isn’t that right? All the vegetables grown by the wood-type ability users in the base have to be handed over to the base… but you not only don’t hand them over, you also sell them on a large scale, making money off the hard-earned money of the poor residents.” One of the arrogant middle-aged men said.

"Wait, what did you say?" Shi Jia couldn't help but pick at his ears, seriously doubting that he had misheard. He had never heard such an outrageous statement before.

"I……"

"Stop!" Shi Jia glared at him, a light glance that made the middle-aged man stiffen. "I just want to ask, what have you contributed to the base?" "I can tell you haven't. I bet all the muscle in your body was 'contributed' by the base's residents, right?" Shi Jia mocked, not caring whether it was true or not, he'd deal damage first.

"With your dedication, it's a real shame you didn't go back to ancient times and become a slave owner. I think the reason why the Yanzhong base has stagnated for so many years is because of your hard work and contributions."

"Being a wood-type ability user at our Yanzhong base is really tough. Not only do we have no freedom, but we also have to sacrifice ourselves all the time. It's so pitiful." Shi Jia couldn't stand anyone in the office at this moment, including her father, Yuan Lei.

“Xiaxia…” Yuan Lei looked at his daughter with concern.

"Don't speak!" Shi Jia glared at him and continued, "I'm putting this out there today: I built my agricultural base myself, without spending a single penny of the Yan Zhong base. I can dispose of my vegetables however I want. The base has no right to question me!"

When Shi Jia said this, he deliberately used mental suppression and mental suggestion.

"I won't accept anyone's advice. And from now on, the base shouldn't send anyone to interfere with my planting. If they provoke me again, I'll go to the cultivation base and release all the wood-type ability users!" Shi Jia threw down these words, walked past the still bewildered crowd, and left the office. When she reached someone's side, she kicked him hard in displeasure.

"Ah—" A scream belatedly rang out.

The bewildered crowd snapped out of their daze, and the few people at the back immediately changed their expressions, cursing, "Arrogant, utterly arrogant! A mere girl, who gave her the guts..."

"Grandpa, you must avenge me!" Han Junxiang said with a ferocious expression.

"Shut up!" Old Han glanced at him, thinking he was a useless piece of trash. Although he was old, he could see things clearly. The girl was powerful, but she wasn't the kind of person who acted recklessly. If she were that kind of person, they would probably have been dead several rounds ago.

This guy is probably not telling the truth; his injuries are likely self-inflicted. It must be said that Old Master Han truly lives up to his reputation as the previous leader of the Han family. He sees things very clearly.

Those people cursed for a long time, feeling extremely angry and fearful towards Shi Jia, because they didn't dare to ask for Shi Jia's arrest. In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Lei.

"Yuan Lei, you have to give me an explanation for this!"

Yuan Lei coughed lightly. "Everyone, there's no need to get so worked up. Xia Xia is right. For so many years, the training base has controlled all the wood-type ability users at Yanzhong Base, which has indeed hindered the base's development. I think it's very necessary for us to change the current model."

"Perhaps we could consider sending the wood-type ability users outside..."

"No! I disagree!" they all retorted in unison.

“Ah? Since everyone disagrees, I advise you all to put this matter aside.” Yuan Lei smiled. “Although my daughter Xiaxia has a good personality and a kind heart, she is very stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, nothing can change it.”

The crowd remained dissatisfied.

"You all should have felt this deeply just now?" Yuan Lei said, giving Secretary Chen a look that left the latter looking bewildered.

Yuan Lei glared at him. "Xiao Chen, take a look at the health reports of the base residents from a while ago, and the latest report from this morning."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Chen immediately helped activate the sharing function on the bracelet, and soon everyone received several reports.

"Everyone, take a look at these reports first. Compared to whether or not to let my daughter return to work at the breeding base, I think this matter is more important," Yuan Lei said seriously. Good grief, he's directly turning the previous conflict into a discussion about Yuan Muxia returning to work at the breeding base.

Everyone quickly finished reading, but their gazes became even more intense as they stared at Yuan Lei. "Based on this analysis, it would be more advantageous and prudent to have Yuan Muxia return to the cultivation base and let the cultivation base allocate which crops to plant."

Seeing the group's unwavering determination, Yuan Lei smiled and said, "I can't make that decision. Why don't you go ask Xia Xia?"

Everyone glared angrily at Yuan Lei! What was the point of saying so much if they dared to!
