Chapter 2304 - Personal appearance

Soon, a person walked forward with a wine glass in hand. He greeted the president with a light chuckle: “President, long time no see.”

The speaker was Vice President Qin. Vice President Qin himself didn’t expect President Yi to make a personal appearance at this banquet.

“Hello, President.”

When Qin Xiyuan saw Yi Lingjun, she quickly walked up and greeted him.

“Mm.” Yi Lingjun made a sound in response.

When Yi Lingjun saw Vice President Qin about to say something else, he interrupted with a smile, “I mainly came here today to announce and handle something, so please excuse me.”

Vice President Qin nodded several times in succession. “You have to attend to numerous affairs every day, President, so please do as you need.”

Yi Lingjun soon walked onto the stage, his eyes sweeping over the room.

The banquet hall turned quiet instantly without a decibel of noise.

“The main purpose of tonight’s banquet was entertainment, but I still have to lower everyone’s spirits a little,” Yi Lingjun started.

“Nonsense, President,” Vice President Qin said to Yi Lingjun with a chuckle.

Yi Lingjun nodded. “I believe everyone has heard of the incident in Yun City.”

At the mention of the Yun City incident, everyone was startled. Of course everyone knew about such a major incident, especially them, the higher-ups of the Arbitration Council. How could they be clueless?

“I remember Director Yin personally went there to handle this incident.” Yi Lingjun turned to Yin Yuerong.

“That’s indeed the case, President,” Yin Yuerong admitted with a nod.

“The actions of Yun City’s Martial Arts Union was very outlandish, but they also serve as a reminder for us to consider whether some of the rules and regulations that have been passed down from ancient times in the Independent State are reasonable and if we need to amend some of them,” Yi Lingjun calmly said.

Everyone was shocked. The rules and regulations of the Independent State were passed down from their esteemed ancestors, so how could they alter them?

“President Yi… these rules…” a higher-up hastily looked at Yi Lingjun and started speaking.

However, Yi Lingjun merely glanced at the speaking higher-up. “I haven’t finished speaking. I hope you won’t interrupt me a second time.”

“Yes yes yes…”

Yi Lingjun continued, “Some time ago, Director Si, Si Yehan, sought me out and called into question some of the rules and regulations, and these questions were mainly concerning their unreasonableness.”

“Si Yehan?”

Many higher-ups’ gazes landed on Si Yehan.

Yin Heng secretly sneered. Si Yehan was seriously gutsy and actually dared to question the Independent State’s rules and system and brought it up with President Yi! He was simply asking for his own death!

It appeared President Yi mainly came here to criticize and perhaps even punish Si Yehan…

Yin Yuerong’s harsh gaze shot toward Si Yehan.

“Heh… Do you really think that, Director Si? The Independent States’ rules and system since ancient times have guaranteed the continuity of the Independent States. Amending the rules is an utter joke.”

“That’s right. Director Si, don’t you think you’re a bit too brazen?!”

Yi Lingjun smiled faintly. “After reviewing the suggested amendments that Director Si proposed, I wasn’t opposed actually and even found him rather amiable.”

The higher-ups who were criticizing Si Yehan froze in their spots with dumbstruck expressions.

President Yi hadn’t come to criticize Si Yehan?!

“Thank you very much, President Yi,” Si Yehan responded.

It appeared he was thinking too much earlier. Yi Lingjun wasn’t the kind of person who practiced favoritism.
