Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 890 - 448: Great Achievement Secured! (10,000 Words for Monthly Tickets!)_3

After all... no matter which part of a Speaker's duties is taken away, it will weaken that Speaker's authority and is certain to provoke a backlash.

And now, Tang Feifei has opened up an alternative path, giving Huang Shangzong a different choice, which indeed piqued his interest.

This plan not only rationalized the division of duties between Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu.

More importantly... it also limited their powers.

If the duties are confined to a single city, then it's essentially like locking their powers within that particular city.

If either of them wanted to infiltrate other cities in Dongye State, or other departments, it would all seem improper and illegitimate.

Thinking this, Huang Shangzong glanced meaningfully at Qiu Tu, then asked, "Speaker Qiu, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu responded with a smile, "I have no objections. However...."

Hearing the first part from Qiu Tu, Huang Shangzong thought Qiu Tu had agreed, but then came a "however".

Therefore, he couldn't help but look toward Qiu Tu, then inquired, "However what...?"

Qiu Tu replied methodically, "However... I feel that merely taking charge of Bright Moon City is too light of a task."

He continued, "Could I take on some additional duties as well?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong looked expressionlessly at Qiu Tu, then inquired, "What duties?"

Qiu Tu, with a smile, said, "For example... helping the Speaker to eradicate those Anti-government Armed Forces scoundrels."

"The time and effort saved could be spent on the Infiltration Plan."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong was genuinely surprised.

He looked at Qiu Tu intently, as if seeing him for the first time, before finally speaking in a grave tone, "Speaker Qiu, do you realize what you are saying?"

"Eliminating those Anti-government Armed Forces is no simple matter."

"They've dispersed, now scattered across the nooks and crannies of the sixteen cities of Dongye State."

"To root them all out would be immensely time-consuming and incredibly taxing...."

Upon hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then said, "Therefore, I am willing to undertake these tasks."

"Lightening the Speaker's load, isn't that precisely what we Deputy Speakers ought to do?"

Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu expressed his stance like this.

It turns out... this approach really did work on Huang Shangzong.

After Qiu Tu took this stand, Huang Shangzong's gaze towards Qiu Tu subtly changed.

And above his head floated a prompt that read «Satisfaction +6».

Clearly, he was influenced by Qiu Tu's dedicated words.

So, after inquiring with Qiu Tu, he also looked towards the other Deputy Speakers, then asked, "What do you think?"

Qiu Tu proactively took on a troublesome duty; what reasons could the other Deputy Speakers have to object?

So, besides Liu Xiongyuan voicing a few cautions and seeing that Qiu Tu's attitude remained firm, he said no more.

Thus, the division of duties between Tang Feifei and Qiu Tu was established during the meeting.

Tang Feifei was responsible for all affairs of Xinjie City, including the appointment and removal of top officials of the three major institutions.

As for Qiu Tu... he was in charge of all affairs of Bright Moon City and likewise had the authority to appoint and remove the top officials of the three major institutions.

In addition, Qiu Tu was also tasked with cleansing Dongye State's sixteen cities of the remaining forces of the Anti-government Armed Forces.

In this way, both parties received the division of duties they desired.

And just as the vote by show of hands concluded and the duties were firmly established, suddenly, Qiu Tu felt his Communicator, which he'd kept in his trouser pocket all along, light up.

He took out the Communicator and glanced at it—it was a message from Chen Feng.

Not surprisingly, it clearly read four words: Operation Successful.

Seeing this response, the corners of Qiu Tu's mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

It seems... his very first gift after becoming Deputy Speaker has finally arrived!
