Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

Chapter 720 He finally gave in.

"Now you can naturally return to your post."

"Moreover, Nong Huiyun has already accepted our application."

"Our people will come tomorrow to pick them all up and take them away."

After speaking, Jia Leijie handed over a document.

Ye Linglong took the document and saw that it was indeed as Jia Leijie had said.

They adopted a new hiring method this time.
This was clearly intended to give both sides a way out.

Jiang Chen did not eliminate everyone in the information department at the time.
Therefore, it makes sense to rehire a new team.

Moreover, the document also bears Nong Huiyun's signature.

It seems it's true; they can go back to work in Space City.

Thinking of this, Ye Linglong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"See? I didn't lie to you. Ye Linglong, you know that President Jiang was furious at the time and wouldn't listen to anyone. You should understand."

"Now that so much time has passed, let's leave each other some room."

"President Jiang has realized his mistake, so he specifically asked me to pick you up."

"Jia Leijie said softly."

Ye Linglong turned around slightly.

"There is no absolute right or wrong in this world, and I don't need his understanding."

"Now I've figured it out. The job of an assassin is more suitable for me. It's free and I can do whatever I want without having to depend on others."

"Being hunted down is also a kind of life."

"Ye Linglong, think it over carefully. No matter what..."

“Jiang Chen has been very good to us, hasn’t he? Right now, Space City is in dire need of manpower.”

"The battle with the United States continues and will not stop anytime soon."

"If you leave, we will really suffer a great loss."

"Come back, after all, we're still good comrades."

"There is nothing that cannot be resolved through face-to-face communication."

Jia Leijie continued to persuade him.

Ye Linglong shook her head slightly, unappreciating the gesture.

"My mind is made up, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."

"The space city is great, and Jiang Chen has been good to me too."

"But that doesn't mean I can be bossed around by anyone."

"Perhaps I've always been used to being alone, and I'm just not suited to a life of constraints."

Ye Linglong had thought this through very clearly; it had nothing to do with Jiang Chen.

Given my personality, I'll leave Space City sooner or later.

After all, she doesn't like being controlled by others.

Besides, Space City is so big and has plenty of talent, so what difference does it make if she's gone?

Does the space city stop functioning without her?
Is Jiang Chen really unable to confront the United States?

This obviously doesn't make sense.

"Alright, stop bothering me."

"Go do what you're supposed to do, I'm not going with you."

Ye Linglong lost her patience and turned to leave.

But as soon as she turned around, she froze.

Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Chen was standing behind her, staring at her intently.

At this moment, Ye Linglong was startled.

How could that be? She's always been very vigilant.

Humans have a very keen sixth sense and intuition, especially killers like them.

If someone is looking at her, she will definitely be able to sense it even if she doesn't turn around.

Jiang Chen had clearly been standing behind her for a long time, yet she hadn't noticed at all.

"where do you want to go?"

Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice, silently watching her.

It's hard to believe that Jiang Chen would come in person.

Regardless, he was a prominent figure in Space City, whose word was law and no one dared to provoke him.

He's usually very busy, especially lately, he always has things he can't get away from.

Now he's come in person, just to get her back to Space City.

It has to be said that Ye Linglong should be satisfied with just this kind of prestige.

After all, not everyone can receive this kind of treatment.

Unfortunately, Ye Linglong's mind was already made up.

Even if Jiang Chen came in person, it wouldn't make a difference.

"Where I go is none of your business. Of course I have my own things to do."

"I'm not from Space City anymore, so you shouldn't be able to control me."

Ye Linglong smiled coldly, showing no respect whatsoever even though Jiang Chen was right in front of her.

"I have rehired the people from that group."

"And Nong Huiyun is also the Minister of Information." "What, you're still not satisfied?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; women's thoughts are truly unfathomable.

Wasn't it because he insisted on going his own way that this woman left in the first place?

Now that I've retracted my decision, why am I still so stubborn?

"Thank you for letting my sister return to Space City."

“I am indeed very grateful for that, but since I’m out here, I have no intention of going back, so you don’t need to come again.”

Ye Linglong said.

Jiang Chen gave a cold laugh.

He wasn't like Jia Leijie, who would speak to her politely and even coax her.

The words "cherish the beauty" do not exist in his dictionary.

He then spoke calmly to Jia Leijie.

"Take her back with you."

Ye Linglong was slightly taken aback, then looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

For a moment, she was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Jiang Chen, how dare you!"

"How could you do this? That's too domineering."

Jiang Chencai was too lazy to lecture her with so many profound principles.

Jia Leijie, standing to the side, felt somewhat helpless, but Jiang Chen had already spoken, so he had no choice but to listen.

Ye Linglong initially wanted to resist,
Unfortunately, Jia Leijie had already installed many high-tech close-combat weapons on his body.

In addition, his physical fitness and strength training in the space city were enhanced in all aspects.

In front of Jia Leijie, Ye Linglong was like a helpless rookie, with no room for resistance whatsoever. She was subdued by Jia Leijie on the spot and unable to move.

"Alright, let's go back, we're in a hurry."

"I've been too busy lately, so I have to come and arrest you myself."

Jiang Chen said with a hint of helplessness. The group quickly returned to the space city.

Not long after, all members of the group returned to the space city to report for duty.

Of course, they returned under a completely new hiring arrangement and needed to sign new labor contracts with Space City.

This can be seen as giving both sides a way out.

"President Jiang, thank you so much no matter what."

"We are really happy to be back working in the space city."

Nong Huiyun appeared somewhat excited at this moment.

Since returning to Earth, although the standard of living in China has improved significantly in all aspects, Nong Huiyun still finds it difficult to adapt. After all, life in the space city was far too luxurious, with all the technological equipment being fully automated.

Especially in terms of entertainment, all games offer an immersive experience on virtual displays, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Space City boasts numerous other exciting entertainment options, each one captivating enough to make one linger. Therefore, upon returning to Space City, Nong Huiyun had a strange feeling, as if she had returned to a primitive society.

Although the Dragon Kingdom is not backward, the gap between it and the Space City is still significant. In the Space City, they could often travel through space and enjoy stunning scenery in airships; while in the Dragon Kingdom, there are numerous restrictions, and entering space is extremely difficult, sometimes even requiring waiting in line. Such a stark difference in living standards inevitably creates a sense of disparity.

"No need for thanks. Sending you all away before was a last resort. I wanted to set an example for all departments in Space City, and I never intended to actually fire you. So, this time I'm letting you return with a fresh start. I hope you can continue your efforts in the Information Department and not repeat the mistakes of the past," Jiang Chen said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Nong Huiyun nodded excitedly, "President Jiang, don't worry, we will definitely not make this mistake again. By the way, there is a very confidential matter that I would like to report to you."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: "You guys go back and prepare for the handover first. I'll come find you after I'm done with things here, and then you can give me a detailed report in person. Also, these are the new rules for Space City, so you'll need to familiarize yourselves with them again. They're quite different from before."

This is not only a major overhaul of the entire department, but also a major change in rules. All unreasonable rules and laziness will be completely eliminated, especially regarding reporting to higher levels. Jiang Chen gave a clear explanation: any mid-level member in any department, such as a team leader, can report to a higher level in case of an emergency where there is no time to report to their superior. Jiang Chen didn't want to make the same mistake again.

Upon hearing this, Nong Huiyun and the others' eyes lit up. This rectification was truly timely. Previously, because they couldn't report to higher authorities, they had lived in constant fear. Now, they could finally relax.

"Finally back on track." Jiang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Information Department dismissed over 100 people, but has received some replacements in a short period. Currently, there are over 30 staff members on staff, plus one team, totaling over 50, which is half the current level. Most importantly, the newly recruited personnel are all elites of the Dragon Kingdom, selected by Jiang Chen through Elder Cheng from within the military. They are highly reliable, possess strong faith, and will not become traitors.

"How is Ye Linglong doing? Has she been reinstated?" Jiang Chen suddenly remembered this and looked at Jia Leijie beside him.

Jia Leijie smiled wryly and shook his head: "Not yet. She stays in her room all day. Except for meals at the cafeteria, she doesn't go out, let alone take up her post."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. This woman was truly stubborn; even back in Space City, she still wouldn't back down. "No need to rush. Let her relax for a few more days. If she still won't return to work by then, then force her to."

Jia Leijie was taken aback by Jiang Chen's words. Jiang Chen's style of doing things was increasingly showing leadership qualities; he was decisive and no one dared to disobey him. The Jiang Chen of the past didn't have this kind of boldness. But in any case, Jiang Chen's toughness was effective; at least Ye Linglong had returned.

For the first few days, Ye Linglong was naturally still unconvinced. Why should she be allowed to leave and come back whenever she wanted? Who did Jiang Chen think he was? So she just lazed around every day. Working was out of the question. Since Jiang Chen wanted to support her, she would accept it all.

But it turned out that Jiang Chen truly kept his word. Nong Huiyun became the Minister of Information, the various units in Space City upgraded their equipment, their weapons and armor were improved, and many new regiments were added. They even recently launched a corporate culture initiative, holding a tournament among the frontline troops. Many soldiers enthusiastically signed up to participate. This tournament was quite unique, including combat while wearing armor and combat using hovercraft, which made Ye Linglong very eager to join in.

Now that she had returned to Space City, how could Ye Linglong possibly go back? So a few days later, when Jia Leijie ordered her to return to work, Ye Linglong reluctantly went back to her post, giving both sides a way out, and the matter was finally over.

"I didn't expect such news. Hehe, Nong Huiyun, you've done a great job this time." Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback upon receiving this news in the information department. This news concerned the currently much-discussed Southwest Prefecture, a thorn in Jiang Chen's side. However, today's news was somewhat unusual, one of the few pieces of good news recently.

That is the issue of the territorial division of the Southwest State, which has been disputed since ancient times. In particular, there are eight countries in the area south of the Southwest State that have never recognized that they belong to the territory of the Southwest State.

Compared to the Southeast, the Southwest was far too backward, practically a primitive land with no industrialized factories, and even warlords were too lazy to establish their own territories there.

This resulted in a large indigenous population here, which is why the United States was able to easily occupy the southwestern states and exploit their resources. Most of the people here are indigenous, lacking the ability and means to restrain the United States' domineering behavior.

In the area south of the Southwest State and north of the Southeast State, these eight countries are very large and, although they are also very underdeveloped, they have never considered themselves to belong to the Southwest State.

Only in this way can they integrate with the international community, receive international aid, and even attract international investment. However, if they acknowledge their place within the territory of the Southwest State, everything changes. They become ineligible to integrate with the international community because, nominally, they are considered indigenous and not recognized by any country.

These eight countries occupy an area equivalent to half of the entire Southwest State, which is something that Jiang Chen is currently quite excited about.

"Haha, this news is truly a godsend. It seems that the Southwest State isn't entirely under American control. We still have a chance, let's start with this news." Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He had to admit, he was finding Nong Huiyun increasingly pleasing to the eye. This woman's work ability far surpassed that of the former head of the information department; she was truly diligent, never slacking off, and always thinking of the work first. This time, she had even made a significant contribution, helping him find such crucial information.

Moreover, Nong Huiyun had known this information for a long time, but unfortunately Jiang Chen was furious at the time and was determined to fire everyone in the information department, so Nong Huiyun stopped explaining, packed her things and left.

Jiang Chen missed this crucial piece of information. It's true that taking a step back can open up new possibilities; if Jiang Chen had insisted on his course of action and ignored everyone's advice, the outcome would have been very different.
