Chapter 255: Contact with the big shots in the shelter (10,000 words for monthly votes!)
Seeing that Qiu Tu understood what he meant, Liu Xiongyuan nodded with satisfaction.
This little old man obviously has his own way of doing things. After he finished the exam, he started explaining directly.
He grinned and said, "Yes. The biggest problem with Yan Ai's promotion this time is not just the time when Dongye Prefecture was established."
"It's just that he hasn't fully arranged his job yet."
"The Moonlight Lake that is about to be formed between New Territories City and Tung Shing City is not just a matter for New Territories City and Tung Shing City."
"With such a huge treasure house, even the shelter is paying some attention to it."
"This is actually an important reason why Dongye Prefecture was established so quickly."
Speaking of this, Liu Xiongyuan stretched out his dark hand and made a gesture of closing his fingers, and then said, "So, as long as Yan Ai cannot catch up with the formation of Moonlight Lake, he will delay this most important task in the near future."
"Then it's not a question of whether he can compete for the position of deputy speaker of Dongye Prefecture. It's whether he will be convicted of dereliction of duty, warned by the shelter, or even demoted or transferred."
After hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, Qiu Tu was thoughtful.
I have to say, ginger is still spicier.
Qiu Tu had actually done very well before. After all, after Yan Ai suddenly broke out, he had no fear or worry. Instead, he actively took advantage of the situation, thinking about sniping Yan Ai's progress and making a comeback.
But Liu Xiongyuan took advantage of the current situation to not only destroy Yan Ai's conspiracy, but even dealt a greater blow to Yan Ai, which was obviously better.
'It seems that I should really learn more from these old guys.'
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also asked humbly, "Director Liu, how can we make Yan Ai miss this time?"
"Can the formation time of Moonlight Lake still be controlled artificially?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan smiled "hehe", showing his big yellow teeth.
This old man really doesn't have the dignity of a superior. If someone threw him to the port and told Qiu Tu that he was a tracker, Qiu Tu would probably believe it.
This also made Qiu Tu very curious, how did such a person gradually climb to his current status in the area to be planned, and how did he make Dongcheng City's Investigation Bureau become a benchmark in the area to be planned?
What kind of charm does he have?
And just when Qiu Tu was thinking this, Liu Xiongyuan also answered Qiu Tu's question just now.
He said, "The time when Moonlight Lake takes shape can really be controlled."
Liu Xiongyuan explained, "Catastrophic materials such as Moonlight Lake and Tears of Moonlight are, in the final analysis, the result of the condensation and qualitative change of the catastrophic power of the boundless sea of hearts."
"The reason why we were able to discover in advance that a Moonlight Lake was about to be born was because we discovered the increasing concentration of catastrophic power in the corresponding area of the Infinite Heart Sea."
"After that, after analyzing the content of the power of catastrophe, the materials and terrain of the two realms, a scientific judgment was made."
"So, in theory, as long as we add more catastrophic power to this terrain, we can speed up its formation."
"And, you know, this Moonlight Lake is already close to the critical point of taking shape."
"Maybe. Just a small change can catalyze it immediately."
Qiu Tu didn't believe anything Liu Xiongyuan said. He sat up straight, looked at Liu Xiongyuan seriously, and asked, "Since there is such a way to make Moonlight Lake born in advance."
"Then why didn't you use it? Instead, you kept waiting."
"The longer time passes, the more forces are targeting this Moonlight Lake. So it is obviously more in the interest of New Territories City, Dongcheng City and even the shelter to settle down as early as possible, right?"
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, and then continued his analysis, "So, there must be other reasons why you didn't do this."
"For example, if the distribution of benefits has not been completed, if Moonlight Lake is allowed to come in advance, will conflicts intensify?"
"For example, if Moonlight Lake arrives in advance, some unknown changes may occur, such as reducing the purity of Moonlight Tears?"
"Another example"
Speaking of this, Qiu Tu paused for a moment and then said, "The conditions required for Moonlight Lake to be born in advance are actually very harsh and difficult to meet."
"It's hard even for you to do."
"And now, the reason why you dare to propose this idea is that certain conditions are most likely met?"
"For example, Yan Ai's promotion to the fourth level of catastrophe caused the changes in the sky and the phantom of the law."
Hearing Qiu Tu's eloquent analysis, Liu Xiongyuan's eyes flashed with surprise.
As one of the city's three giants, he is not as gloomy as Yan Ai, but his emotions are extremely exposed.
He looked at Qiu Tu and praised, "I have long heard from Duckweed that you are extraordinary. You have a groove in your chest and a universe in your belly."
"At that time, I just thought she hadn't seen much of the world."
"Now that I see you, I realize that she didn't make a mistake."
Speaking of this, the admiration in Liu Xiongyuan's eyes almost overflowed, "You are really good."
After saying that, Liu Xiongyuan suddenly changed his tone and said, "By the way, are you interested in working in Dongcheng City?"
"Under Yan Ai, you don't have much development prospects. That turtle grandson knows how to play tricks every day, and even good prospects are led astray by him!"
"But our Dongcheng City is different."
"Everything we do depends on your ability and merit!"
"As long as you are capable and can handle big cases, your promotion speed will be like a rocket ride."
"Also, even if the city is overrun, I will recommend you to other cities or shelters!"
He patted his chest and promised, "If nothing else, after you go, I guarantee that you will be promoted to director within one year. After you transition to the position of director, you will take over the Political Department and enter the high-level ranks."
"In a few years, when I move up or down, you can move up a step further and become a deputy director."
Speaking of which, I may be worried that Qiu Tu has some misunderstandings about the speed of promotion.
He explained with a serious face, "Don't judge it by the speed of your promotion in recent times."
"The speed of your promotion during this period is actually something you can only meet but cannot expect."
"First of all, the shelter doesn't even know about officials below the deputy section chief."
"As for officials below the deputy director, although the shelter can make statistics, they never ask questions. It is all decided by the director of each investigation agency."
"So, you feel like you have been promoted many times, but in fact you are not even qualified to enter the shelter's sight."
"Secondly, the director is a watershed moment."
"According to the practice of shelters, no matter how outstanding the performance of ordinary civilians in the area to be planned is, the highest level can only be deputy director."
"Only those who are absorbed by the major factions in the shelter, have been trained in the shelter, and have passed the gold can continue to rise."
"And, even so. Above the director level, every level is a ladder to the sky. Ability, luck, and background are all indispensable."
"So, being able to guarantee that you can successfully reach the position of deputy director within a few years is the greatest sincerity I can give."
Listening to Liu Xiongyuan's words, Qiu Tu was actually very emotional.
He felt that he understood Liu Xiongyuan's inner thoughts: Liu Xiongyuan avenged the murder of his son for him, so he put his expectations for his son on himself.
That's why I pave the way for myself and be so open and honest.
If Qiu Tu was not a time traveler, had no golden fingers, and did not have so many cronies and subordinates in New Territories City, maybe he would really agree.
But Qiu Tu has worked hard to build such a good situation in New Territories City. Once he goes to Dongcheng City, it will be equivalent to starting all over again.
Therefore, Qiu Tu barely hesitated and refused with a smile, "Thank you, old man, for your kindness. But I am not alone. There are many brothers, confidants, and subordinates behind me."
"If I leave like this, they will have a difficult time in the New Territories City."
"And after I went to Dongcheng City, without their support, I was like a duckweed without roots."
"So, even though the development in the New Territories City may be a little slower, it may be more difficult and troublesome because of the problem. But I am still willing to continue to develop from the New Territories City."
"This way I will feel more at ease every step I take."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Xiongyuan took a deep look at Qiu Tu, bared his teeth and smiled, then patted Qiu Tu's shoulder heavily, "Have ambition."
Liu Xiongyuan said, "In this case, I will introduce you to an old leader of mine today. See if you can gain his appreciation."
"If you can successfully gain his favor, I will take you and some other colleagues to walk around more. By then, you can join our faction, and at least the road to the director will be clear."
Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, Qiu Tu, who had learned about Liu Xiongyuan's faction from Tang Feifei as early as this afternoon, did not refuse.
He nodded slightly and said sincerely, "Thank you, old man."
The entire floor of Fuxing Teahouse was cordoned off by the guards brought by Liu Xiongyuan, but I wasn't worried that anyone would come in and disturb me.
So Liu Xiongyuan didn't waste any time. He looked at the time and when he saw that it was already the appointed time, he reached into his pocket and took out a small black metal box.
The small box is beautifully made and grand, with the Exploration Agency's logo engraved on it.
Putting the small metal box on the table, Liu Xiongyuan reached out and pressed it a few times. The next second, the small box opened, revealing a dialer.
Qiu Tu looked over curiously, and then saw Liu Xiongyuan input a long 13-digit number, and then pressed a white button on the dialer.
The next second, a green light curtain suddenly appeared above the small box. There was no image on the light screen, only a "Connecting" prompt.
'Remote video call?'
Qiu Tu hesitated in his heart. 'Is it the effect of the Catastrophic Noble Phantasm? Or is it a technological product?'
Just when Qiu Tu was thinking this, the next second, a middle-aged man's figure appeared on the green light screen.
He wore a crisp suit and was serious in speech.
Liu Xiongyuan was obviously very familiar with him. As soon as he saw him, he smiled and said, "Secretary Fang, Mr. Wang, do you have time?"
"There may be some new situations here in Dongye Prefecture, and I'm going to report it to him."
Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, the middle-aged man also showed a smile on his face, "Director Liu. I know this matter. Mr. Wang specifically explained it to me today."
After saying that, he said, "Wait a moment, I'll see if Mr. Wang's party is over."
As his voice fell, the picture on the light screen froze.
Qiu Tu also recalled the information about Mr. Wang in his heart.
This afternoon, Qiu Tu also found out some information about Liu Xiongyuan and Mr. Wang behind him from Tang Feifei.
According to Tang Feifei's words, Liu Xiongyuan was a member of the "Revolutionary Faction" in Sanctuary and was favored by Wang Guochuan, the leader of the "Revolutionary Faction".
The [Revolutionary Faction] is a large faction in the middle and high-level of the shelter. Their political proposition is the "new three people's principles" of democracy, civil rights, and people's livelihood!
This faction has a distinctive feature, that is, there are no core founders of the sanctuary, and most of them come from poor families and have ordinary backgrounds.
Therefore, one of their major political demands is to break the tenure system of the top management of the asylum, open up the upward development channel for the middle level, and conduct reasonable democratic selection.
Of course, compared to the conservatives in Sanctuary, the reformists are obviously not that strong, so this political demand has never been successfully achieved.
However, even so, in recent years, due to the continuous addition of new forces, the power of the reformists has become stronger and stronger throughout the sanctuary.
One of the biggest landmark events is that Wang Guochuan, the leader of the reformist faction, was elected as the deputy speaker of the Eighth Sanctuary Supreme Council.
This means that the Reform Party has officially become a decisive force in Sanctuary.
When introducing information about Liu Xiongyuan, Wang Guochuan and the reformists, Tang Feifei also analyzed Qiu Tu's development path.
According to Tang Feifei's analysis: Whether Qiu Tu wants it or not, his background as a civilian in the planned area has already deeply marked him as a "reformer".
Unless Qiu Tu is chosen by a big shot from another faction and forcibly pulls Qiu Tu into his own faction, Qiu Tu can only follow the route of the "renovation faction".
Moreover, even if a big shot really chooses Qiu Tu and pulls Qiu Tu into his faction, because Qiu Tu is not a well-established member of that faction, he will most likely only be a peripheral member, and his future may not be as good as being in the "innovation" faction.
group".
After all, in the "Renovation Faction", at least everyone has the same background on the surface, and whether they can become the core of the faction depends entirely on ability.
So, it's more fair.
Of course, there was another option, but Tang Feifei didn't say it. Qiu Tu guessed it, but didn't ask.
That is, Qiu Tu can also change his background through marriage.
For example, if Qiu Tu really marries Tang Feifei, then he can also join the Tang family's faction as the son-in-law of the Tang family, and even become the core of the entire faction.
But with the current delicate and complicated relationship between the two, it is obviously not suitable to talk about such a topic.
And just when Qiu Tu was thinking about his future.
The light curtain in front of the table flickered a few times, and an old man's figure slowly appeared.
His hair is gray but combed meticulously, and the silver threads shine silvery white under the light. His eyes are as deep as pool water, as if he can see into people's hearts.
Just sitting there, he had an aura of calmness and authority, like a majestic mountain.
Seeing him, Liu Xiongyuan's face became serious. He stood up and saluted the old man, "Old Wang."
Seeing this, Qiu Tu also stood up and saluted.
Mr. Wang glanced at Liu Xiongyuan with a calm expression, then turned to look at Qiu Tu.
His eyes stayed on Qiu Tu for obviously 0.5 seconds longer, and then he slowly said, "This is the Qiu Tu you mentioned to me this afternoon, right?"
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Liu Xiongyuan quickly said "hmm" and said, "Yes, Mr. Wang. This is Qiu Tu."
"This time Yan Ai is preparing to advance to the fourth level of catastrophe. The information about the competition for deputy speaker of the Dongye Prefecture State Assembly was also discovered by him and passed on to me."
With that said, Liu Xiongyuan explained to Mr. Wang the current situation of Yan Nai and the entire Dongye Prefecture in as concise language as possible.
During this period, Mr. Wang also asked for a few details, and Liu Xiongyuan responded in detail based on Mr. Wang's inquiry.
During the whole process, Qiu Tu just stood aside from the beginning to the end, patiently making arrangements, without any other expression on his face.
It wasn't until the exchange between the two ended that Mr. Wang slowly turned his eyes to Qiu Tu.——
It’s still 2 chapters and 10,000 words. It’s a little late today. I’ll continue with it tomorrow. Haha
Chapter completed!
