Chapter 189: Suppression

Chapter 189: Suppression

After listening to An Ruosu's explanation, Chen Mu somewhat understood the management system of the Qingbei. He asked, "Do the people in the lower levels have no objections to being classified in this way?"This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

"What objections could they have?" An Ruosu shrugged. "The people above are more powerful, and there are also those at the bottom to support them. Each level has its own quotas for food and daily necessities. It doesn't mean that those in the upper levels are nobler than the ones below. Except for Xia Xuejie and her two companions, the rest of us cannot directly command the people in the lower levels. Moreover, as long as your abilities grow, you can move up."

"That sounds acceptable," Chen Mu replied.

Although their system was not as harmonious as his own, he thought that with more than two hundred people in Qingbei, the current management model, like what Qiming was implementing, might not be suitable.

However, An Ruosu sighed and said, "Saying one thing and doing another is the reality. In the beginning, everyone was indeed harmonious, even the people in the lower levels were enthusiastic. As more awakened individuals emerged, everyone started to believe that Qingbei could shoulder the responsibility for humanity's future development... but gradually, things changed."

"What went wrong?"

"It seems that the conflict between the three major managers, which appeared to be relatively harmonious on the surface, became more evident as Principal's health deteriorated. It escalated until the incident with Xin Ping happened, and Tong Bin and Song Xuechang were on the verge of getting into a direct confrontation."

"Xin Ping? Why?" Chen Mu was puzzled.

"Because Xin Ping was Tong Bin's person. Now that he's in such a state, Song Xuechang blamed him for his own actions. Tong Bin spread rumors within the organization, saying that Song Xuechang and Senior Brother Chen Mu were colluding and seeking outside help..."

An Ruosu looked at Chen Mu's calm expression and hesitated to continue.

But the meaning was already quite clear.

Chen Mu thought to himself, no wonder An Ruosu said those words at the beginning. So, he was already so well-known within Qingbei?

This was clearly not a good thing.

At least, that Tong Bin must hold a grudge against him. It's no wonder he displayed such animosity the first time they met.

"How is the Principal now?" Chen Mu asked again.

"On the day Xin Ping returned, the Principal fainted. He was in a coma for several days before waking up, but his condition has worsened."

"Are you affiliated with Xia Qing?" Chen Mu inquired.

"Yes."

The people from Qiming felt deeply touched.

Especially those like Feng Xiaoyu, who had no abilities or had abilities of little use. If they were in Qingbei, working hard every day but still being oppressed, they would definitely be unhappy.

Putting themselves in that position, there really wasn't a good solution.

Resist?

Those people are combatants. If one could resist, how could they be oppressed in the first place?

Endure?

It might work for the short term, but in days where there is no hope, who would be willing to live like that?

With such thoughts, it can be said that Qiming was lucky to have people like Dong Junwei and Chen Mu. These two individuals were initially even hesitant to take the position of Chief.

Indeed, people are different from one another.

An Ruosu continued, "Actually, if it were just that, everyone could still endure it. But now, the higher-ups are preoccupied with internal strife and neglect the thoughts of those below. Recently, the food quotas have been reduced a bit, so we had to think of another way out."

He Ying suddenly sighed, "Although I don't know Tong Bin and Xia Qing, I know Song Yuchi. Doesn't he understand that under such circumstances, internal strife and self-destruction are no different?"

However, Tang Jing said, "If you're not in their positions, it's not easy to judge. In the eyes of outsiders, this might be internal strife, but regardless of Tong Bin or Song Yuchi, every insider believes that they are the ones fighting for justice."

"Moreover, in the eyes of some, internal strife doesn't necessarily lead to destruction. But if you don't fight for your position, you'll definitely be eliminated. So why not fight for it? In the grand scheme of things, what's more important, the future of humanity or one's own future?"
