"That's an interesting point. In my mind, the Work Safety Administration isn't under Deputy Vincent's supervision either. If he can wade through these murky waters, why can't we?"

Dahlia Hughes finished speaking.

She pulled out a chair and sat down.

Dahlia Hughes was notorious for her temper at the County Committee.

Shane Vincent knew this.

He looked at Alfie Grant and asked, "Minister Grant, what about you?"

Alfie Grant paused, glanced at Dirk Carter, and said, "Secretary Hughes has said everything I wanted to say, so there's nothing more for me to add."

With that, he sat down just like Dahlia Hughes.

Although all three were County Committee members,

their rankings varied.

Among the three,

Dahlia Hughes ranked highest, while Shane Vincent ranked lowest.

Under such pressure, Shane Vincent was rendered ineffective.

Adair Meyer gritted his teeth, stood up shakily, and addressed the two seated leaders, "Leaders, please give me some face today. On another day, I'll bring my father to personally thank you."

Juwan Meyer was indeed a city leader.

Adair trusted that Dahlia Hughes and Alfie Grant were smart enough to back down.

"Your dad? Your dad is worth shit!"

That was Dahlia Hughes's response.

Completely stunned Adair Meyer.

"Dahlia Hughes, do you even resemble a leader? Deputy Chairman Meyer is at least a leader. What do you mean by saying that?"

"What? You don't like it? Then let me say something you find pleasant—Shane Vincent is worth shit!"

Dahlia Hughes was definitely bold.

She not only insulted Juwan Meyer but also Shane Vincent.

Whoever dared to touch Dirk Carter, it was akin to taking her life!

Without Dirk Carter, who would treat her illness?

"You... Dahlia Hughes, don't get cocky; you won't be for long. Let's wait and see. There'll be a time when you cry. The City Committee is in session now. Unlikely as it may seem, my promotion to Executive Deputy County Head should be announced soon. Let's see how you continue to boast then."

Shane Vincent faced a setback.

He was practically about to explode on the spot.

At this moment, Dirk Carter said, "Deputy Vincent, don't wait. You won't be getting the Executive Deputy County Head position."

"What did you say?"

Shane Vincent asked.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "I'll say it again: you won't be getting the Executive Deputy County Head position, and not only that, you might not even keep your current Deputy County Head position."

"Ha, just because of you?"

"Yes, just because of me. When I, Dirk Carter, make a statement, it always holds."

"Hahaha... I've seen boastful people, but none like you. If I don't get it, who will?"

Shane Vincent laughed heartily.

Dirk Carter slowly extended his hand, pointing to Dahlia Hughes's position.

Dahlia Hughes, a bit shocked, froze for a moment and asked, "Me?"

"Yes, you."

"Dirk, stop joking."

Dahlia Hughes replied, clearly disbelieving Dirk Carter's words.

Today, she and Alfie Grant were here to protect Dirk Carter.

But now Dirk Carter's words seemed a bit outrageous.

Dirk Carter looked at his watch calmly and said, "It's half past four; I suspect the result will arrive soon."

As soon as those words fell.

Fosco Golding, Shane Vincent's secretary, appeared breathlessly at the door.

Seeing Fosco Golding.

Shane Vincent was nervous.

He asked, "Is there a result?"

Fosco Golding, looking dejected, still nodded.

"What result?"

Adair Meyer quickly asked.

Seeing Fosco Golding not speaking, Shane Vincent anxiously stomped and said, "Speak up!"

Fosco Golding, feeling helpless, slowly said, "Executive Sun is appointed as Acting County Head."

"What else?"

Shane Vincent asked.

Fosco Golding's gaze fell on Dahlia Hughes, murmuring, "Dahlia... Secretary Hughes promoted to Executive."

Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue.

Everyone in the conference room was stunned.

After a few seconds of silence, everyone's eyes turned to Dirk Carter.

Could it be merely a prophecy?

No!

Dirk Carter knew the result all along.

"How... how did you know?"

Shane Vincent asked with a trembling voice.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps just good luck."

After another brief silence.

Anger slowly rose on Shane Vincent's face.

Yearning for the Executive Deputy County Head position for so long, after all the commotion, he got nothing, while others benefitted.

Shane Vincent took a deep breath.

Said, "Dirk Carter, today no one can protect you. You abused your power, causing political discord with enterprises. That's a fact. No matter who speaks for you today, I will definitely dismiss your position."

His words were directed at Dahlia Hughes and Alfie Grant.

Even if Dahlia Hughes was promoted to Executive Deputy County Head, her appointment hadn't been finalized. As for Alfie Grant, he was from the organization department, and the Work Safety Administration was a government-affiliated agency, so neither could interfere.

Moreover, he was determined to risk it all this time, giving face to no one.

This time, he decided to banish Dirk Carter to "hell," never to rise again.

"Political discord with enterprises? Where is this discord you speak of?"

Dirk Carter scratched his head and asked.

Adair Meyer sneered and said, "What are you feigning ignorance about? Who doesn't know about the Apex Gardens issue? I'm asking you, did you solve the problem of Apex Gardens' illegal construction?"

"Sure did. They've stopped work."

Dirk Carter said.

Adair Meyer retorted angrily, "Bullshit, Dirk Carter, you really speak irresponsibly. Those two bulldozers at the door are still there, and you tell me the problem is solved? Don't forget, you made this promise at the Work Safety Administration Party Committee meeting."

"Bulldozers? Oh, look at that, I completely forgot about that."

Dirk Carter pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Engineer Wright, why are your site's bulldozers still at our bureau's door? If you don't move them soon, I'm going to sell them for scrap."

Watching Dirk Carter hang up the call.

Adair Meyer said with contempt, "Anyone can put on a pretense. You didn't even visit Apex Group today, do you think we're fools?"

As his words fell.

The sound of rumbling suddenly came from the Work Safety Administration entrance.

This was the sound of the bulldozer engines starting.

Everyone ran to the window to look.

They saw the two bulldozers blocking the entrance slowly moving away.

What is going on?

As Adair Meyer was completely confused, the office director Hubert Tanner rushed in, with a breathless voice saying, "Leader... The Apex Gardens site... it has stopped work, saying it needs to comply with the Work Safety Administration's rectification."

"What?"

Shane Vincent and Adair Meyer shouted in unison.

Their eyes widened, and when they looked at Dirk Carter again, they suddenly found that Dirk Carter seemed somewhat different.

"Did you... did you go to Apex Group?"

Adair Meyer asked with a trembling voice.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "Of course!"

"Impossible. Caleb Ford isn't that easy to deal with. There's no way he'd let you off."

Shane Vincent said from the side.

Dirk Carter laughed and said, "President Ford is much more reasonable than you two. Or how do you think Apex Gardens decided to stop work and comply with rectification?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Dirk Carter, don't be smug. I'll tell you, I will get back at you. I will absolutely get back at you. You just wait. I'll have my father deal with you."

Repeated shocks.

At this moment, Adair Meyer seemed increasingly agitated.

The whole person seemed greatly stimulated, rushed to Dirk Carter, grabbed his collar, and started shouting.

As he was making a commotion.

Another incident occurred.

Suddenly, seven or eight people in black suits and white shirts filed into the conference room.

The leader appeared around forty years old.

His cold gaze swept around the conference room.

He asked, "Who is Comrade Shane Vincent?"
