Chapter 1177: Came Prepared
Wang Ye didn't pay attention to the people's gazes directed at him, but instead introduced himself briefly before he began explaining his plan.
After Wang Ye had been talking for five minutes.
Xue Sheng, along with the guild presidents who wanted to see Wang Ye make a fool of himself, gradually grew more serious in their expressions.
From Wang Ye's explanation, it was clear to them that Wang Ye came well-prepared.
While Wang Ye was explaining his ideas, he was very clear; all aspects were in place, and his method of explaining was gradual and very experienced.
In just five minutes, some of the Sorcerer's Guild presidents present felt somewhat intrigued.
Xue Sheng and these Sorcerer's Guild presidents all glanced towards Zhou Ke, their expressions curious.
Could it be because Zhou Ke wanted to become the minister of the Sorcerer's Headquarters, but given Zhou Ke's unsatisfactory performance in the past few years, Wang Ye was put forward first?
Let Wang Ye become the apparent minister of the Sorcerer's Headquarters, while Zhou Ke is the true one behind the scenes?
Such a thing has been done by others, and often, it's quite common.
When one's own performance isn't especially commendable, it's easy to invite criticism, so they simply pull out someone completely trustworthy.
Some people were already looking at Zhou Ke with uncommon gazes.
On the surface, Zhou Ke seemed entirely without ambition; who would have thought that after leaving the Wei City Mage Guild, he would want to directly become the minister of the Sorcerer's Headquarters?
Zhou Ke, suddenly locked in by the gazes of so many people, felt a silent bitterness.
He never had those thoughts.
He's entirely misunderstood!
Meanwhile, Wang Ye continued to elaborate on his plan.
Wang Ye had been well-prepared from the start, and last night he reworked his plan using a recommendation method suitable for meetings.
This way, it wouldn't feel dull to those present.
After Wang Ye had explained for half an hour.
Xue Sheng and the other guild presidents grew even more serious in their gaze towards Wang Ye.
No.
It was actually towards Zhou Ke.
Zhou Ke not only wanted to be the minister of the Sorcerer's Headquarters but from the beginning intended to overturn the entire sorcery world.
Many of the arrangements Wang Ye spoke of.
Involved changing the current structure of the sorcery world and overturning it.
Zhou Ke... how bold!
Xue Sheng's expression wasn't looking good.
Wang Ye's talk of wanting to overturn the current sorcery world was akin to saying that the current arrangements were a complete mess.
Otherwise, why would Wang Ye want to change the status quo?
He was outright slapping them in the face in front of so many people!
After this Sorcerer's Headquarters meeting ends, Xue Sheng had originally wanted to build a good relationship with Wang Ye.
After all, Wang Ye's prospects in sorcery, and everything else, seemed exceptionally bright.
But now, Xue Sheng feels there's no need!
No matter how great Wang Ye's talent in sorcery might be, so what?
No matter that Wang Ye is the saint son of the Ice Sect, so what?
No matter that Wang Ye is a First Grade Peak Cultivator, so what?
This is sorcery!
He's the minister of the Sorcerer's Headquarters!
He plans to suppress Wang Ye so he cannot rise within this sorcery community.
As for those voting for Wang Ye, preventing himself from becoming the minister of the Sorcerer's Headquarters, in Xue Sheng's view, that's absolutely impossible.
Wang Ye is merely a young man in his twenties.
Even if he presented such a detailed plan.
It surely came from Zhou Ke.
What is Zhou Ke worth?
If not for Wang Ye from the Wei City Mage Guild, the Wei City Mage Guild would have been directly disbanded this year.
Besides.
Zhou Ke isn't really acquainted with other Sorcerer's Guild presidents, and there's no real relationship between them.
About half an hour, Wang Ye's plan took nearly half an hour to present, just a simple introduction.
And it's still just a simple introduction.
If all the specific plans were truly implemented and discussed, without even mentioning the steps to put them into action, just explaining them would require several days of meetings.
No choice.
This involves the transformation within the entire sorcery world.
"By the way, before I sit down."
After speaking, Wang Ye did not sit down immediately; instead, he turned to look at Zhou Ke with a smile and jokingly said:
"While discussing this project, I noticed the minister and other Sorcerer's Guild presidents kept directing their attention towards Chairman Zhou."
"Let me clarify here."
Although Wang Ye's tone was joking, the emotions harbored within impacted everyone present, making sure everyone was clear about what Wang Ye wanted to convey.
"My plan was entirely my own choice, having nothing to do with Chairman Zhou. I myself aim to be the minister; I'm a First Grade Peak Cultivator! In terms of sorcery, I'm keenly aware of how vast my future will be!"
Wang Ye's smile gradually diminished, and what he said next seemed almost arrogant to those present:
"So there's absolutely no chance I'll be anyone's puppet! I am me! This plan was crafted entirely by myself; my participation here is motivated by a determination for first place, simply to be seated here!"
Having said that.
Wang Ye directly sat down.
Even after sitting down, the words Wang Ye spoke continued to roar in the ears of everyone present.
A young man in his twenties.
Everything stated earlier was actually crafted by this young man himself.
Moreover, he came here aiming for the top spot, ultimately to be seated here.
What confidence?
What arrogance?
Almost everyone here has won first place in the Sorcerer's Headquarters tournament; their rise to the Sorcerer's Guild president's position essentially stems from achieving that first place step by step.
But if now they were placed back in that situation.
Not a single one could claim the confidence Wang Ye has, sure they'd take first place, going for first!
Even knowing.
They ended up taking first place.
This is the audacity of Wang Ye!
Some presidents turned their gaze to Ye Chen, hoping to see Ye Chen's reaction.
After all, Wang Ye essentially implied he was confident about defeating Ye Chen right from the start.
