Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1454 - 1458: Punishment

Boom!

Just after Zhao Lanjin left, the door was suddenly smashed open!

Qin Tian and the others were in high spirits from drinking. Upon hearing the door being broken down, they were stunned and then saw Chen Weiming and two City Guard Army soldiers standing at the door, their faces full of anger.

Swish!

The previously noisy room instantly fell silent.

Drinking in violation of military regulations, this time, Chen Weiming caught them red-handed!

"Damn it, you dare drink in front of me!"

Chen Weiming directly stared at Qin Tian and said angrily, "You just arrived today, and you're already mingling with this group of wastrels, huh? Don't you know the military regulations?"

"All of you, copy the military regulations ten times for me!"

"Qin Tian, as the Centurion, you led them in drinking; your punishment is even more severe! Tonight, get to work doing hard labor immediately!"

Qin Tian knew that Chen Weiming would target him. Having made a mistake this time, that guy definitely wouldn't let him off easily.

Chen Weiming shouted, "A section of the moat outside East Capital City broke away for a mile. Tonight, you will repair it! If you don't finish, you're not allowed to sleep! Not allowed to eat! Don't slack off, or you'll suffer!"

After saying this, Chen Weiming glared fiercely at Qin Tian, leaving a soldier behind, and arrogantly turned away.

The soldier left behind was Wang Tong. He grinned and angrily said to Qin Tian, "You're just committing a crime blatantly! You've really screwed me over! I'm the overseer; if you don't finish repairing the moat, I can't sleep either! Damn!"

Qin Tian smiled faintly and turned to Zhang Hefei and the others, "Guys, I'm sorry, I just arrived and already brought you trouble."

"Ye Zhiyuan, tidy up the things in this room, remember to wash the dishes. The rest of you, remember to copy the military regulations; I'm off now."

After instructing them, Qin Tian, under Wang Tong's grumbling guidance, headed to the City Guard Army's engineering division in charge of supervising the moat. After reporting in, someone from the engineering division took Qin Tian and Wang Tong to the section of the moat with the breach.

Though they said Qin Tian would repair the moat, it didn't mean he had to do it all alone. The breached moat was a mile long; he needed to clear away the fallen stones and then stack the ones piled by the riverbank.

As for the specific repair work after the stones are stacked, naturally, that would be handled by the professionals of the engineering division.

However, even so, the "hard labor" Qin Tian had to do wasn't easy to complete.

Firstly, he was the only person, and transporting so many huge stones was indeed a bit challenging.

These stones were selected and transported to the shore by the engineering division, each two meters long, one meter wide, and one meter high. Judging by their form, each weighed at least 500 to 600 pounds.

For an average person, repairing the moat was out of the question, let alone moving a single stone.

However, Qin Tian, being an Immortality Cultivator, had the ability to move stones that weigh several hundred pounds. The challenge was that doing so alone consumed a significant amount of True Qi, and it wasn't easy to pile them properly where the breach was without assistance.

"Hurry up and do it yourself. I'm going for a stroll; I'll be back in a while. If I find you haven't made any progress, I'll report truthfully to Chen Da. If you slack off, you'll regret it!"

Wang Tong was still miffed. Seeing Qin Tian getting to work, he felt bored in the dark night, watching only by torchlight, so he prepared to sneak off to hang around nearby streets, likely planning to visit a local brothel.

"Got it."

Qin Tian responded, jumped off the dike, looked around, and sighed, "Damn, a mile. First to move the fallen stones, then to stack new ones... Doing this alone might take me until noon tomorrow."

He yawned, feeling somewhat exhausted after gambling and drinking with Zhang Hefei earlier, even though he hadn't passed out.

But there was no other choice. Chen Weiming was originally out to get him, and if he caused any more trouble, Chen Weiming would likely increase the pressure.

After considering this, Qin Tian began circulating True Qi, starting the work.

An hour later, Qin Tian had cleared less than one hundred meters of the stones embedded in the mud under the dike and hadn't even started moving new stones down.

He wiped his sweat, feeling somewhat weary and disheartened.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Within the Dan Tian Qi Sea, True Qi began to circulate. Qin Tian used True Qi to slowly lift a massive stone covered in mud...

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Just as Qin Tian was exerting himself slowly, suddenly, a few figures jumped down from the riverbank, startling him.

"Haha, Fei Ge, why did you come here?"

Seeing the newcomers, Qin Tian was momentarily stunned. Zhang Hefei, Xie Tingjie, and a few others had arrived.

"Haha, Qin Tian, you're so honorable; how can we not be?" Zhang Hefei laughed at Qin Tian.

Xie Tingjie said, "The dinner was cooked by you, the wine bought by you, and it was all of us who drank it. In the end, only you bear the punishment of hard labor... Haha, no matter how useless we are, we can't be that cold-blooded and heartless. Since we all drank, we all bear the punishment together!"

After Xie Tingjie spoke, the other people, including Huang Can, nodded.

Some stayed silent, but just by coming, they already showed their stance.

"Qin Tian Ge, I've copied the military regulations and also helped you copy them. The dishes are washed too, haha..."

While helping Qin Tian lift stones, Ye Zhiyuan said.

"Thank you," Qin Tian replied.

"No need to thank us, it's what we should do."

Ye Zhiyuan lowered his voice and said to Qin Tian, "Qin Tian Ge, you're the most special leader I've ever met, at least among the dozen Centurions in our squad over the years…"

Seeing Ye Zhiyuan's enigmatic expression, Qin Tian smiled and asked, "Why?"

"You've only been here a day, and look, even those who never followed orders are willingly helping you… Impressive." Ye Zhiyuan gave Qin Tian a thumbs up.

One meal, some wine, and a punishment successfully gained everyone's loyalty, more directly and effectively than any other method.

Seeing Qin Tian smile without speaking, Ye Zhiyuan suddenly thought of something, saying, "No wonder when I reminded you that drinking violated military regulations, you didn't care... Hey, Qin Tian Ge, did you report us drinking to Chen Weiming?"

"Damn, you think that?"

Qin Tian was taken aback, then laughed, "I intended to use food and drink to win you over, but reporting on you and myself? I'm not that stupid…"

"Then who reported it? Chen Weiming doesn't come to our courtyard even once a year, yet he suddenly showed up tonight with people, so he must have received a report. Qin Tian Ge, who do you think reported it?"

Ye Zhiyuan glanced around and lowered his voice, "I think it's Zhao Lanjin. See, we drank but he didn't; we came to help you, but he didn't come alone. He definitely has problems! It must have been him who reported us!"
