Chapter 249 Resignation Storm
Hai Laozang was deceived again. As a protest, he submitted his resignation to Shi Lei at the high-level meeting of Shayin Village, resigning from the position of consultant of Shayin Village on the grounds of old age.

Of course he didn't really intend to retire, but he wanted to make use of the situation so that Shi Lei wouldn't keep exploiting his elderly workforce.

But what he didn't expect was that after his resignation was handed out, before he could make use of it, Shi Lei showed a face of self-blame.

"Advisor Ebizo wants to resign, this is my responsibility!"

As he spoke, he took off the Fengying bamboo hat on his head, and then heaved a long sigh of pain.

"Sigh... Since the establishment of our Shayin Village, we have experienced five generations of Fengying, but this is the first time that the consultant has resigned.

It can be seen from this, how incompetent I am, I deserve this Kazekage, I declare that from now on, I will officially resign from Kazekage! "

Ebizo: "(Д*)"

Why do you still have this kind of operation?
Hai Laozang, who originally planned to make use of the topic, never expected to give Shi Lei the opportunity to make use of the topic, and he began to feel a little bad.

At this moment he remembered that Shi Lei didn't want to be Kazekage in the first place, it was because Chiyo persuaded Ye Cang to use a beauty trick on Shi Lei to make him submit.

Now the other party is using his resignation as an excuse, obviously ready to quit!

Thinking of this, Hai Laozang wanted to slap himself a few times - why the hell did I give him a chance to make use of it?

Seeing Shi Lei's sad and remorseful face, Hai Laozang deeply understood what it means to lift a rock to shoot himself in the foot!

Regret is certain, but under the current situation, Shi Lei must be prevented from resigning, otherwise, who will support him in Yinsha Village?

Not only Hai Laozang thought of this problem, but also other high-level officials of Shayin Village, and everyone began to persuade them.

"Master Kazekage, you are too humble. From our point of view, you cannot be more competent. Counting all generations of Kazekage, you are second to none!"

"Yes, Kazekage-sama, since you succeeded to the throne, neither Iwanin nor Mistnin have dared to take half a step into my land of winds. My hidden sand village has never been so strong!"

"That's right, and because of you, His Excellency Daming's mission distribution and financial appropriation are increasing year by year, all of which are brought by you!"

"Master Kazekage, you can't resign..."

Hearing everyone's reassurance, Shi Lei was unmoved, and waved his hands with a pained face.

"Everyone needless to say, if I'm really that competent, how could the consultant Ebizo, known as the 'Sand Hidden Village Brain Tank', resign?
What old age, obviously can't bear the tyranny of my Kazekage, I really don't have the face to do this Kazekage, everyone don't have to persuade me! "

Having said that, he put the Fengying bamboo hat in his hand on the table in front of him, then stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Everyone, I have caused trouble for you in the past six months, I'm sorry, then... goodbye!"

After speaking, he covered his eyes with his hands, as if he didn't want everyone to see him cry, and then walked towards the door of the meeting room with difficult steps.

Seeing this scene, many people shed tears.

"Master Fengying!"

"Master Fengying, please don't go!"

"Lord Fengying..."

Among all the high-level officials of Hidden Sand Village, only three remained unmoved—Gara, Chiyo, and Ebizo.

They have spent the longest time with Shi Lei, and they also know his temperament clearly, so they can basically guess what Shi Lei is thinking at this moment.

But after seeing Shi Lei put down the pick, the three of them responded in different ways.

Gaara chose to remain silent, because he always only supports Shi Lei's decision and never opposes it.

Ebizo turned his attention to Chiyo, and asked his most respected sister for countermeasures.

As for Chiyo, he gave Ebino Zang a hard look, and signaled him to solve the troubles he caused by himself, otherwise all the consequences would be borne by himself.

In fact, even if Chiyo didn't say it, Ebizo knew it very well, because he already felt a lot of complaining eyes around him.

If Shi Lei really succeeds this time, everyone will definitely blame him for all the faults.

At that time, his decades of hard work and contribution to Shayin Village will all be in vain, and when he gets old, he will have to bear the crime of "forcing away the strongest wind shadow".

That is the real late festival is not guaranteed!
Thinking of this, he couldn't care less, he rushed up a few steps and grabbed Shi Lei's hand.

"Fifth Kazekage, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have resigned, but I really have no other intentions. You can stay. At worst... At worst, I won't resign!"

"No, Advisor Ebizo!"

As soon as Hai Laozang's words fell, Shi Lei shook his head guiltily.

"It's not your fault, it's my fault. If it wasn't for my lack of ability to push the heavy government affairs to you and make you overwhelmed, how could you resign?"

Hai Laozang: "..."

You even know it yourself?
Although he thought so in his heart, Hai Laozang couldn't say that, instead he waved his hand vigorously against his conscience.

"No, no, no... how could Lord Kazekage push government affairs to me? Obviously, I voluntarily shared the worries for Sand Hidden Village and Master Kazekage!"

"No no no... no!"

Shi Lei also waved his hands vigorously.

"Consultant Hai Laozang, you must be comforting me. In fact, you are really overwhelmed. I am incompetent, lazy, and let you down. Sure enough, I am right to resign!"

Hai Laozang: "..."

You must throw the blame on me, right?
Seeing Shi Lei who repeatedly declined, with a guilty expression on his face, the corners of Hai Laozang's mouth twitched, and finally he could only grit his teeth and fight it out.

"Master Kazekage, I'm really not trying to comfort you, I really like to help you share government affairs, I enjoy it every day, how can I be overwhelmed?

From today onwards, except for major decisions involving the village, please leave all other matters to me. Please don't resign from Kazekage's position, please! "

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply to Shi Lei.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei immediately yelled "ah", then quickly stretched out his hands to help Hai Laozang up, and at the same time nodded with emotion.

"Okay, since Advisor Ebizo is willing to continue to tolerate and guide me, a worthless junior, then I'll be cheeky and continue to sit in Kazekage's position!"

Having said that, he returned to his position again, and then opened his mouth to the people around him.

"Thank you for your tolerance and patience. From everyone, I have deeply understood what the will of the wind is!"

Having said that, under the excited eyes of everyone, Shi Lei picked up the Fengying bamboo hat on the table and put it on his head.

"The so-called will of the wind is to treat the enemy like a cold wind, but treat your own people like a spring breeze. I... have already felt it, thank you!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present showed shock on their faces, and nodded vigorously at the same time.

"Treating the enemy is as cold as the cold wind, but treating one's own people is as warm as the spring breeze. Kazekage-sama said it very well!"

"Yes, isn't the wind supposed to be like this?"

"That's right, this is our will of the wind..."

After hearing Shi Lei's words, not only the senior executives of Shayin Village present, but also Hai Laozang, who had been scolding Shi Lei for treachery in his heart just now, showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He suddenly felt that assisting such a Fengying, even if it was a little tiring, didn't seem to be a bad thing.

"Since I have encountered Fengying like you, then I, Hai Laozang, will help you carry this old bone for a few more years. I really want to see where you can lead Shayin Village!"
