Chapter 633: Little Loli Takes Office And Shows Off Her Power?
When Yun Chenyu and Chen Yu arrived at the headquarters of the Professional Association, there was not even a single person to greet them at the entrance.
It was unclear whether Soaring Dragon University had failed to notify properly or if the people at the Professional Association had other intentions.
Moreover, what puzzled Chen Yu was that the atmosphere at the headquarters of the Professional Association was very anomalous.
The former president fell during his term, the cause of death unknown.
The new association president was about to take office, so logically there should have been a sense of tension throughout the association.
However, Chen Yu found that the people in the headquarters seemed very lax, as if they didn't care about the new president at all.
Yun Chenyu frowned and tapped a counter in the hall.
"Hello, sir, may I help you with something?"
The female counter clerk sitting behind the counter raised her head somewhat impatiently. When she saw Chen Yu, she was slightly startled and gave Chen Yu a professional smile.
Chen Yu lifted Yun Chenyu so she could be more conspicuous.
Without saying a word, Yun Chenyu threw the red-sealed letter of appointment on the counter and said in a deep voice, "Inform your several vice presidents that I have arrived."
The clerk took the letter of appointment, glanced at it, her face changed instantly, stood up quickly, walked out from behind the counter, and respectfully bowed to Yun Chenyu.
"Madam, please follow me."
Yun Chenyu and Chen Yu followed the female clerk into a majestic conference room on the top floor of the headquarters building.
Yun Chenyu sat in the main seat of the conference room, while Chen Yu casually found a seat.
He accompanied Yun Chenyu to the headquarters just to ensure she wouldn't encounter any difficulties, not intending to get involved in her specific work.
As a parachuted appointed president, although she was originally from the Eastern Capital City, she had no strong foundation within the Professional Association.
Despite having the support of the entire Soaring Dragon University, she could still face challenges, deception, or lack of attention.
The entrenched high-level figures in the Eastern Capital City, representing various interests and possessing formidable forces, might not be willing to obey orders.
Now it seemed that Chen Yu's concerns were not unfounded.
Even before taking office formally, the high-level figures from the Eastern Capital City had come to show their dominance.
With no one to welcome the new president, or even to contact her, it already reflected the attitude of the top echelons of the association.
Chen Yu also understood why Yun Chenyu had been delaying.
She had long anticipated such a scene.
Yun Chenyu sat in the main seat of the conference room, and no one came in for a long time.
As time passed, Yun Chenyu showed no signs of impatience, just quietly waiting.
After nearly two hours, the door of the conference room was pushed open again.
A young man in a white suit walked in.
He walked straight to the first seat below Yun Chenyu, with a smile on his face, and said, "Ah, this must be Miss Yun Chenyu, truly living up to her name, with a mesmerizing appearance."
"Sorry, truly sorry for keeping Miss Yun waiting. I have been busy with affairs and couldn't break away for a while. Please forgive me."
Yun Chenyu just nodded expressionlessly and said, "Vice President Zhou, please have a seat."
"Thank you." The young man in the white suit adjusted his seat and sat down confidently.
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow from his seat in the back.
It seemed that Yun's assumption about the challenges of her new position might be even more difficult than imagined.
Judging by the seating arrangement of the young man in the white suit, he should be the vice president with real power second only to the president within the Professional Association.
Making the newly appointed president wait for two hours showed his arrogance.
In general, it is the subordinates who wait in the conference room for the leaders to come in and speak.
Leaders waiting for subordinates, unless under very special circumstances, is rare.
Moreover, the initial remarks of Vice President Zhou lacked any decorum.
While praising a woman's beauty is not wrong, it should be appropriate to the occasion.
In a formal work setting, especially at a meeting where Yun Chenyu was taking over as the president of the Eastern Capital City Professional Association, calling her "mesmerizing" was not just a compliment but also a mockery, even a contemptuous jest.
In his address, he referred to Yun Chenyu as "Miss Yun" instead of "President Yun," indicating that he did not take Yun Chenyu seriously.
The young man in the white suit was a taboo expert at the Great Completion level, comparable to Throne of Fire Ling Xiuhe, slightly weaker at most.
On the surface, Yun Chenyu was just a newly promoted taboo expert.
In the hierarchy of taboo experts, Yun Chenyu was at the lowest level, while the young man in the white suit was at the highest level.
In normal circumstances, he indeed had the capital to look down on Yun Chenyu.
However, strength is strength, and position is position.
His disdain for Yun Chenyu was not reflected in strength but in authority.
After the young man in the white suit, more people entered the room.
In less than ten minutes, the entire conference room was filled.
There were about a hundred people in total, with thirty-five taboo experts among them.
Among them, five were peak taboo experts at the Completion level.
These five individuals were the five vice presidents of the Eastern Capital City Professional Association.
The remaining eighty-plus people were all peak Rank Seven experts.
There was not a single weakling in the entire conference room.
Chen Yu couldn't help but marvel.
When he once traveled to the Secret Realm of the Forest, he passed through a Transcendent-Level city in the White Eagle Empire.
The status of that city was equivalent to the two capitals of the Soaring Dragon Empire.
However, shortly after Chen Yu's group entered the Secret Realm of the Forest, that Transcendent-Level city was destroyed by marauding terrorists.
It was said that the strongest among the marauders was only at Rank Eight.
Although the White Eagle Empire deliberately turned a blind eye due to their sinister intentions towards Chen Yu, allowing the city to be destroyed to shift blame later.
This incident also highlighted the gap between the White Eagle Empire and the Soaring Dragon Empire.
Wanting to shift blame, at least the reasons had to be somewhat plausible.
The same marauding force, if they were to attack the Eastern Capital City, it was likely that the Soaring Dragon Empire would not have the face to announce that the Eastern Capital City had been breached and suffered significant damage.
A big caterpillar could claim it couldn't defeat a small ant, although absurd, it could still be accepted.
But if an elephant announced it might be bitten to death by a small ant, that would be unacceptable.
According to incomplete statistics, in the two capitals and six major cities, there were no less than a thousand registered taboo experts who were not official personnel.
At any given time, there were no fewer than a hundred taboo experts residing in the cities.
The total number of registered taboo experts nationwide was over twenty thousand.
Taking into account those who found it troublesome to report, those who didn't report in time after promotion, and those who committed crimes and dared not report, the number could be even more terrifying.
As for the White Eagle Empire, as the strongest nation on the Blue Star after the Soaring Dragon Empire, it was hard to say if they even had a thousand Rank Eight experts throughout the entire country.
Due to the distorted system, many capable geniuses had no chance to rise.
