Chapter 926 858: Meeting Minutes
"John, finished with your work?"Lin Ke stood up with a smile and looked at the courteous, handsome young man at the door.
John thumped his chest and smiled, "Not finished, young master, but reporting back to you is more important."
Lin Ke did not perform the chest-thumping gesture but went straight up and gave John a hug.
"Haha, no need to be formal."
Lin Ke laughed heartily, feeling quite happy.
Everyone present was very envious.
Everyone knew that Duke of Lava, Lin Ke, only hugged John.
Madam Antova and biological mother Fulon were females, so it was not suitable.
As for Garoce? Lin Ke had never hugged him.
Thus, the documented hug record included only John.
Expressing longing and affection through a hug is a mark of close kinship and trust.
To Lin Ke, John's status is almost equivalent to a younger brother, even closer than a blood brother in some sense.
"Come, sit down, we are discussing matters related to the Magic Net and religion, share your thoughts."
Lin Ke brought John to his side, making it easy to communicate.
John naturally sat next to Lin Ke, immediately understanding the implication in Lin Ke's words.
Thus, a more efficient exchange began.
Magic power surged within John, instantly creating an atmosphere in the meeting room where people felt joyful, thoughts flowed, and focus sharpened.
"I remember 'The Intern Manual' mentioned that each meeting room has related barriers engraved by the [Master of Secret Texts]."
John furrowed his brow and looked at the two interns.
The two interns instantly froze.
Indeed!
'The Intern Manual' had a lot written to help interns quickly integrate into the fast-paced work environment and avoid mistakes.
Because, some errors in process could lead to a chain effect equivalent to the collapse of a Viscount's domain operation.
Hence, what's recorded in 'The Intern Manual' is concise and necessary guidance.
Of course, the issue with 'The Intern Manual' is its overly extensive content!
Many interns actually don't have the time to study and remember it all.
Evan opened his mouth, wanting to say that he indeed memorized it, even could recite 'The Intern Manual' backward fluently.
As a graduate from a poor family, this job offers a high salary and great future growth potential, which he cherishes immensely.
Unlike Li Mei.
Li Mei's family is well-off, even if she loses this job, there's no shortage of companies willing to hire her.
Therefore, Evan did not want to make mistakes.
However, he opened his mouth and eventually said nothing.
A mistake is a mistake.
Due to being too excited upon seeing Lin Ke, his idol, he almost went into shock and completely forgot about activating the barrier.
Remembering to breathe deeply was already commendable.
The same went for Li Mei.
Despite being well-off, she too memorized 'The Intern Manual.'
Her family's status is merely middle management in a company.
Faced with a giant entity like Great Wilderness City Hall, it's the difference between a firefly and the Moon Goddess, no, a firefly and the Moon Goddess.
Her parents, her family, all take pride in her being a student at Great Wilderness University and interning at City Hall.
How could she not cherish this job? How could she overlook the most important 'Intern Manual'?
Yet, like Evan's reason, she also forgot many things due to being too excited upon seeing Lin Ke.
The two interns sat frozen, eyes filled with regret, remorse, and other emotions.
Suddenly, no one in the meeting hall spoke.
Facing John, whatever Watson says didn't work, but Lin Ke spoke: "Alright, John, be more forgiving towards the young ones."
Lin Ke smiled at the two interns: "Youth is good! You can make mistakes, you can correct mistakes, but remember, the mistakes made in youth are for not repeating them in the future, otherwise, tolerance is meaningless."
He smiled at John.
John nodded, saying nothing.
Over the years, John meticulously managed Lin Ke's forces, working diligently and tireless.
However, John's management method was learned from Lin Ke back then.
How did Lin Ke manage Azanen Domain back then?
With an iron fist!
At that time, Azanen had internal strife and external threats, with decadent Azanen nobles obsessed with indulgence internally, and externally, had the greedy Gula heroes and Lava Swamp magical beasts lurking.
If he wasn't decisive with iron-fisted means, relying on Antova and Fulon, two weak women, Azanen would have long been devoured completely.
Through Lin Ke's strong-handed management, all of Azanen revived like decayed wood, step by step, reaching the pinnacle of Naseng.
Even when Garoce returned, it was the same.
Compared to his son, Garoce's management method was even inferior to Lolita, the tomboy.
Thus, as the closest and most trusted person around Lin Ke, John naturally learned Lin Ke's method, managing in a somewhat stringent manner.
Yet this was also beneficial, at the very least attributing Great Wilderness City its fame due to John's strictness.
Whether noble or peasant, whether assets are many or few, whether connections lie with Great Wilderness City Hall or the Farmer's Home...
As long as mistakes are made, and laws violated, punishment will follow.
Of course, Lin Ke, as the actual high-ranking figure, tolerance is still necessary.
A monarch without a shred of forgiveness and magnanimity is close to losing support.
"Young master, regarding God of the Magic Net... I think Qing Cha could become it."
John swiftly shifted the topic to the issue at hand: "Qing Cha desires to establish a Divine Kingdom and become a god, thereby becoming the reliance for thousands of Heroic Spirits."
"How could you agree to this..."
Speaking of this matter, Lin Ke furrowed his brow: "How far has he progressed? Naseng isn't lacking such a god! I think he's being too presumptuous!"
As he spoke, Lin Ke couldn't help but snort coldly: "Did you all agree to this?"
In Lin Ke's mind, was there any difference with having one more Heroic Spirit God or one less?
Not a Dominator Level deity!
Not pioneering research!
Nor a newly annexed Main Plane!
If Qing Cha became a god, yet due to insufficient preparation became like the God of Four Seasons, how is that different from suicide?
Mind you, currently, God of Four Seasons has completely fallen to becoming a machine controlled by the Abyss, without a shred of sanity, entirely serving as a tool for changing seasons and climate.
Lin Ke didn't want his followers, his kin, to become like that.
"The situation is like this..."
John and Watson exchanged a glance, sighed, and then waved a hand, projecting a scene in front of everyone.
Each meeting room has meeting records that require extremely high permissions to access.
Now, John was revealing the scene from the day Qing Cha and others discussed.
Lin Ke quietly watched, finally letting out a sigh.
