Chapter 131: Abdicate and let others take over?
South City Prison.

Chen Pingan sat steadily in the first seat in the room, holding a cup of freshly brewed premium tea in his hand.

In front of him, a large group of people knelt down. These people were the core members of the South City Prison.

"Master Chu, tell me, what's going on? How did you arrange for Master Chen's first day in office?"

Pang Miao sat in another seat, looking at Chu Qirong with an uneasy expression.

"Lord Pang, I am so sorry. We have been making careful arrangements these past few days, just waiting for Lord Chen to come. But I didn't expect that we misremembered the time when Lord Chen would report for his post."

Chu Qirong's face was full of rage, but a hint of apology appeared on it. However, combined with his face, it looked weird no matter how you looked at it.

"Sir Chen, I made you sit outside and wait for so long. This is all my fault. If you want to hit me or scold me, just come at me. I made a mistake in the time, it has nothing to do with you all."

Watching Chu Qirong's performance, Chen Pingan didn't say anything, just watched him quietly.

"Please forgive me, sir. It's all our fault."

"I have been looking forward to Master Chen's arrival, but I never thought such a thing would happen."

"I'm sorry to have wronged you, sir."

"."

The people below begged for mercy.

Looking at this scene, Chu Qirong felt pleased.

Among the people kneeling below, some were his men, and he had ordered them to do so on purpose.

In this way, the young Lord Chen might not be able to tell the difference between those who were truly begging for mercy and those who were just pretending to be begging.

Everyone begged for mercy. In such a situation, if the young Master Chen acted rashly, it might make the loyal people feel cold.

If not dealt with.
That would be exactly what he wanted.

If he doesn't get punished for being turned away on his first day in office, then what else can't he do?
Pang Miao did not speak. He had come to take up his post today. This South City Prison was Chen Ping'an's home ground. It was up to him to decide how to deal with him.

Chen Pingan still didn't say anything, but a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Everyone get up!"

"Yes."

The people below stood up one by one in a very cooperative manner. Some still wanted to ask for forgiveness for their sins, but seeing that most people had already stood up, they also stood up.

"Master Chu, as soon as I arrived today, I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet and penetrating my lungs! You have been working here for a long time, and it is really hard."

"Master Chen, it's not hard. Although the South City Prison is damp and cold, everyone has a warm heart, so a little chill won't be a problem."

Chu Qirong said with a smile.

"I hope it doesn't get in the way!"

Chen Pingan patted the tables and chairs gently.

"Master Chu, I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Except for those who are on official business and can't get away, gather the rest of you. I'm new here and would like to meet you all."

"Yes, Lord Chen. I will take care of it right away."

Chu Qirong responded and immediately stood up and walked out.

Turning his head, when his back was facing Chen Pingan, a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of Chu Qirong's mouth.

Even if you are the prison boss, so what? I still have you under my control.

This is an open conspiracy, you have no solution!

Pang Miao glanced at Chen Pingan and put himself in his shoes. If it were him, he would probably have no choice but to make the same choice.

Large-scale punishment is too drastic. Standing on the opposite side of everyone when you first arrive, although you have the power to suppress them, it is definitely not a good strategy.

Compared with more drastic measures that stand in opposition to everyone, we can only choose the lesser of two evils and accept it.

That's all.

This is an open conspiracy, there is no solution!
This Chu Qirong is quite a good tactician.

Pang Miao sighed.

With such an opponent around, he was not very optimistic about Chen Ping'an's future days in South City Prison.

Chen Ping'an sat on the big chair, looked at Chu Qirong's departing back, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

It's just Qi and blood level 5 perfection.
Nancheng Prison is responsible for the detention of prisoners of all sizes in Nancheng District. It also involves the handling and interrogation of some serious criminals. In terms of organization, it is still quite large. There are prison bosses and deputy prison bosses at the top, various squad leaders in the middle, and squad leaders at the bottom, as well as the most ordinary jailers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred people from the South City Prison appeared in front of Chen Pingan in an orderly manner.

Chen Pingan sat on the chair and had no intention of standing up.

Chu Qirong sneered in his heart at his action.

After all, you are still too young!

He just arrived and he already showed off his authority. How could the people under him be completely convinced?

What an idiot!
"I am Chen Ping'an. From today on, I will be your chief officer."

Without much nonsense, Chen Pingan went straight to the point.

Looking at the prison boss, who seemed to be too young and sitting on the big chair, the people below had different thoughts.

"Today is my first day in office. I am looking forward to meeting you all. I thought it would be a pleasant meeting. But unfortunately, someone got the date I reported wrong. Today, I am here and got the first rejection in my career at the Pacification Office!"

Chen Pingan looked at everyone with a smile, but the meaning of his words was chilling.

Ok?
Hearing Chen Ping'an's words, Chu Qirong was not afraid but happy.

Are you preparing to flip the table?!
Seeing Chen Pingan's tolerance just now, he was actually a little disappointed. After all, from a utilitarian point of view, it would be more meaningful for him to push everyone to the opposite side of Mr. Chen on the first day of the report.

Judging from the other party's posture, he is obviously trying to show off his power.

The first rejection?

How smooth was Mr. Chen's life before?
What kind of a celestial life is this? Hasn’t he ever suffered any loss in the Zhenfu Division?

He became a prison boss at such a young age, he must have a backer.

Listening to Chen Ping'an's words, the jailers below had different thoughts, some were disdainful, and some were fearful.

"But, in life, there is always a first time. This is my first time!"

Chen Pingan continued speaking.

"I am a little curious. How could I get the date wrong when I took office to report such a big event? Hmm? Sir Chu, tell me what happened?"

"Sir Chen, the higher-ups didn't make it clear at first, and changed the time twice. I was really busy with official duties, and I got the time mixed up."

In front of everyone, Chu Qirong had a very good attitude.

"Master Chu is really dedicated and hardworking! He is truly the pillar of our Nancheng Town Pacification Division!"

Chen Pingan said expressionlessly.

"Mr. Chen, you are overpraising me."

Chu Qirong bowed casually.

He had no intention of chatting with Chen Pingan in official language.

If you want to get angry, just get straight to the point. What's the point of beating around the bush?

Chen Pingan glanced at Chu Qirong and said, "Master Chu, such a pillar of talent is something I am delighted to see. How about I write a letter and recommend you to the Chief Constable and let Master Chu be the head of the prison!"

As soon as Chen Ping'an finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Even Pang Miao looked at Chen Pingan several times.

What's going on? This is!

"Master Chen is joking."

Chu Qirong said with a wry smile.

Chen Pingan smiled faintly: "I am not joking, but I intend to step down and let someone else take over. Lord Chu has a profound martial arts realm, I think he is qualified to be the head of the prison."

Chu Qirong looked at Chen Pingan without saying anything for a while.

Is this how you flip the table?
What are you doing!
"Sir Chen, your swordsmanship is superb. At such a young age, you have already reached the fifth level of Qi and Blood. I admire you very much."

"Master Chu, how about we have a competition here. If you win, I will give you this jailer position, how do you think?"

Chen Pingan looked at Chu Qirong with bright eyes.
