Ever since the conversation between Liu Xiongyuan and Wang Lao, Qiu Tu's attention had been focused on the two of them, and he never relaxed for a moment.
So when Mr. Wang looked at Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu bowed slightly and respectfully called him again, "Old Wang."
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiongyuan stopped what he was saying at the right time. He stood aside and left the last bit of time for Qiu Tu and Wang Guochuan.
Wang Guochuan's eyes were like a deep pool, resting quietly on Qiu Tu's body.
For a moment, he nodded slightly, and then commented lightly, "Not bad."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Xiongyuan again, and then said, "Xiongyuan, I'm still talking about your deputy speaker."
"The resistance is huge, you have to be mentally prepared."
"Huang Shangzong is so determined that he doesn't want to work with you. After all, the senior management must consider his opinions."
"But as long as the list is not announced, everything is subject to change, so we still have to do what we can."
After finishing speaking, he paused and reminded, "If you are like Yan Ai, you should pay more attention."
"If he really succeeds in advancing to the fourth level of Cataclysm, he will probably win in the end."
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Liu Xiongyuan said calmly, "Mr. Wang, I am lucky to have gained you, and I am so lucky to have lost you."
"At that time, when I chose to avenge my son between avenging my son or becoming the deputy speaker, I was already mentally prepared."
"The only person I feel sorry for is you. My willfulness this time has ruined your layout in Dongye Prefecture, and it is likely that many of our plans will fail. The goal of changing the entire political ecology of the sanctuary is probably because I want to
Move back again.”
"I feel sorry for you, and I feel sorry for our faction."
After hearing Liu Xiongyuan's self-blaming words, Mr. Wang did not give Liu Xiongyuan any relief.
He just looked at Liu Xiongyuan quietly and said, "If you are depressed, painful, and self-blaming, it means you are living in the past; if you are anxious, confused, and hesitant, it means you are living in the future."
"Only when your heart is truly calm does it mean that you are living in the present."
"You have been depressed and in pain all these years, which means you have never gotten over the past."
"I won't comfort you that you made the right choice this time. After all, your impulsiveness has indeed ruined our many years of hard work."
"I just want to tell you that you have lived in the past 10 years. Don't let the next 10 years still live in the past."
"Look forward, don't blame yourself for the past, don't be anxious about the future, and face the present calmly."
"Whether he wins or loses, whether he is the director or the deputy speaker, he will wholeheartedly build Dongye Prefecture."
Listening to Mr. Wang's calm but powerful words, Liu Xiongyuan lowered his head respectfully, bowed, and replied, "Yes!"
After mentioning Liu Xiongyuan, Mr. Wang said calmly, "Okay, I have a meeting next, so I won't talk to you any more."
After hearing his words, Liu Xiongyuan warned, "Take more care of your health."
"I got it." Mr. Wang nodded lightly, and then hung up the communication while Liu Xiongyuan and Qiu Tu saluted.
This communication was not long, only 13 minutes.
And during these 13 minutes, Mr. Wang only glanced at Qiu Tu twice, and then commented in three words.
However, Qiu Tu did not feel ignored.
What is Qiu Tu's identity? In New Territories City, one of the dozens of cities in the eighth shelter area to be planned, he is a small deputy director of the Political Department of the Investigation Agency.
Although he is considered a big shot in the Bureau of Investigation, he also has considerable influence and power in New Territories City.
But he is far behind compared with Mr. Wang.
If there is an intuitive comparison, if the shelter holds a high-level meeting, Wang is always the one sitting in the first row.
And Qiu Tu was the one who studied in front of the TV.
Such a disparity in identity comparison allowed Qiu Tu to "design" a character for himself in advance based on his previous life experience before this conversation: a junior who is knowledgeable, sensible, and aware of his own identity.
Therefore, Qiu Tu said nothing when faced with the exchange between the two big men.
He doesn’t express himself, and he doesn’t answer or strike up conversations.
After all, expressing yourself in front of real big shots is not necessarily a good thing.
These big shots have seen too many outstanding talents. Unless you are a genius, you can surprise and shock them with a few simple words. Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will only leave comments such as "frivolous" and "not calm enough".
And once there are mistakes in what you say, it will be even worse. The first impression is almost negative.
Therefore, when facing such a truly big shot, "hiding one's clumsiness" is actually the most brilliant tactic.
At this time, when Qiu Tu was thinking this, Liu Xiongyuan also came to his senses. He patted Qiu Tu's shoulder gently, and then said with a smile, "You're doing pretty well, kid."
"I heard that you have always been arrogant and domineering in New Territories City. I thought you would express yourself actively."
When Qiu Tu heard this, he said with a serious face, "Slander! This is slander!"
"Did Agent Liu say that? I want to confront her face to face!"
Qiu Tu has a very good sense of the relationship between people.
Facing a powerful figure like Mr. Wang, Qiu Tu said nothing and only showed his composure.
However, facing someone like Liu Xiongyuan, who was not particularly different in level, had a bold personality, and had a relatively close relationship, Qiu Tu behaved more naturally and out of touch.
Sure enough, Qiu Tu's words made Liu Xiongyuan laugh "haha".
He patted Qiu Tu's shoulder again and said, "Not bad, not bad. I feel like you are becoming more and more interesting."
"When Dongye Prefecture is established, we must come to Dongcheng City more often when we have time. Let's communicate more and communicate more."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded seriously, "Okay, old man."
In this way, tonight's meeting with Liu Xiongyuan and Mr. Wang ended early.
Mr. Wang is a very busy man, dealing with the shelter and the internal affairs of the faction every day, and Liu Xiongyuan is also very busy.
Dongye Prefecture is about to be established, and the state capital is located in Dongcheng City, so he needs to make a lot of early arrangements.
In addition to official matters, inducing the formation of Moonlight Lake in advance is also a somewhat complicated project, and he also needs to go back and prepare as soon as possible.
Therefore, Qiu Tu did not hold back. After sending Liu Xiongyuan downstairs, he watched him get into the military green jeep and drive away slowly.
Before leaving, Liu Xiongyuan also whispered a few words to Qiu Tu.
Perhaps because Mr. Wang gave him a "not bad" evaluation, Liu Xiongyuan obviously regarded Qiu Tu as a junior of his own faction.
So he patted Qiu Tu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much about Huang Shangzong. He came to Dongye Prefecture to do things, not to seek revenge, and he shouldn't go too far in many things."
"Moreover, as a member of the Supreme Council and now also the speaker of the state assembly, he is already at the forefront. Many people are staring at him both inside and outside the asylum."
"Just waiting for him to make a mistake."
"Plus, with me supporting him from the front, he probably won't attack you directly."
"However, he is likely to transfer his cronies and subordinates to the New Territories City to target you."
"At times like this, you have to be more careful."
Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's heartfelt concern and advice, Qiu Tu nodded seriously and then thanked him.
Just like that, after seeing off Liu Xiongyuan, Qiu Tu stood at the door of "Fuxing Tea House" and stared blankly at the sky for a while.
The sky still shows the shadow of Yan Ai's law as huge as a mountain, which looks spectacular.
'To reach the fourth level, I have to become at least the deputy speaker of a state assembly.'
'Deputy Speaker, he can barely be considered a feudal official.'
‘If I could become a person like Mr. Wang’
‘Hey, I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it’
While sighing in his heart, Qiu Tu walked towards his car parked on the roadside in the cool breeze.
After getting into the shabby car, Qiu Tu started the car and headed towards his home on Longshan Road.
On the way, Qiu Tu also recalled his plan against Yan Ai after several changes.
Now, his plan against Yan Ai has three steps.
The first step is to seize power, control the investigation agency, install cronies, and sideline Yan Ai.
After Tang Feifei's efforts today, this step has achieved some success. All she has to do is wait for Qiu Tu to go to the Investigation Agency tomorrow to start promoting and arranging positions for his cronies.
The second step is to use the changes in the celestial phenomena caused by Yan Ai's upgrade to the fourth level to activate Moonlight Lake and allow Moonlight Lake to take shape in advance.
This step was completed by Liu Xiongyuan, and Qiu Tu didn't need to worry about it.
The third step is to communicate with La Riluo, obtain La Riluo's information and trump cards, and then trick La Riluo into holding Yan Ai back.
As long as all three steps are completed, or even two of them are completed, Yan Ai will not be able to obtain the position of deputy speaker, and may even be held accountable by the shelter.
Thinking of "Deputy Speaker", Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the conversation between Mr. Wang and Liu Xiongyuan just now.
From the conversation, Qiu Tu learned that Liu Xiongyuan's revenge for his son actually had a considerable impact on the layout of the "renovation faction".
But even if things have happened, the "reformers" are still actively trying to find ways to restore the situation and see if they can push Liu Xiongyuan up again.
Therefore, it is still unclear who will take the position of deputy speaker.
'It would be great if I could help Ryu Woong-won and let him become the deputy speaker of Dongye Province.'
'In this way, even if Huang Shangzong becomes the Speaker, with one of his own people supporting him, the situation can be greatly improved.'
This idea has been lingering in Qiu Tu's mind since it was born.
He is just a small deputy minister, and there is a big gap between his position and that of the director, let alone the deputy speaker.
Therefore, even if he wanted to help Liu Xiongyuan, Qiu Tu didn't know where to start.
So he could only take one step at a time, and first go to meet and communicate with the trapped and swallowed evil girl Lariluo.
When she got home, Shen Lingshuang was still awake.
Qiu Tu said hello to her, then went to an empty bedroom on the second floor and contacted La Riluo.
Qiu Tu now has two ways to contact La Riluo.
The first is the ancient coin. This is the only item that believers can use to actively contact La Riluo.
The second type is to fall into a dream.
Although Qiu Tu no longer bears the mark of La Riluo, Secretary Bai is a high-level disciple of La Riluo. His identity and status are no less than those of Jia Wei.
Therefore, Qiu Tu guessed that Secretary Bai must also have the ability to mark Lariluo.
If the first method fails, Qiu Tu plans to go to Secretary Bai and try to mark himself.
While thinking this, Qiu Tu followed the method he used to contact La Riluo last time, first rubbing the front of the coin three times with his thumb, and then rubbing the back four times. Finally, he threw the coin towards the table.
"call!"
Last time, Qiu Tu tried six or seven times and took a few minutes to successfully contact La Riluo.
As a result, this time, he didn't even wait for a second before Lariluo took the initiative to answer the "call".
The coin flew in the air, and before it even landed on the table, it suddenly vaporized, and then in a burst of smoke, it formed La Riluo's beautiful face.
La Riluo was obviously a little embarrassed tonight, even a little panicked. When she saw Qiu Tu, she seemed to have grasped the last straw, and frantically asked for help, "Qiu Tu! Save me! Help me!"
Seeing La Riluo's panicked expression and her words asking for help, to be honest, Qiu Tu was also startled.
In his mind, La Riluo, as the evil god, should be calm and calm even if the power level is not perfect.
In the end, it was just that Yan An engulfed her and frightened her like this?
Is Yan Ai too scary, or is La Riluo just a paper tiger?
Or maybe La Riluo is acting?
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu began to test. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness, what happened?"
"What's wrong with you? Is there anything you need me to do?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo said anxiously, "Yan Ai, it's Yan Ai."
"He's a lunatic. He actually follows the "life path" like me. And his abilities are extremely special."
"It can actually absorb the lifespan and soul of other living beings."
"Now I am trapped by him in his domain. I can't get out or escape."
"I feel like I'm going crazy because I have to absorb my strength from him all the time."
Speaking of this, the expression on La Riluo's face became much more ferocious, and she said in horror, "So help me, help me. As long as you can save me, I can give you anything."
Qiu Tu squinted his eyes and carefully discerned the tone of La Riluo's words. Then he said, "Is anything okay?"
"Then, Your Highness, can you spend the evening with me?"
After saying that, probably because he was afraid that La Riluo would be angry, Qiu Tu made a "one" gesture and said, "I'm not the kind of person who pushes beyond the limits."
"One night, I only need one night to be satisfied."
"I just want to taste the evil god. I have never fucked the evil god before."
La Riluo:
La Riluo looked at Qiu Tu with a ferocious expression, and Qiu Tu looked back at her with an innocent face, as if he really only wanted this.
Half a moment.
"Kekeke~~"
The panic and ferocious expression on La Riluo's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of evil and cunning.
She smiled like a bell, and her eyes narrowed into two curved rainbows.
After laughing like this for five or six seconds, La Riluo stopped laughing, then looked at Qiu Tu curiously, and asked, "Qiu Tu~ How did you find out that I was lying to you?"
Qiu Tu laughed "haha" twice, and then flattered him, "Because I believe in Your Highness, and I know that with Your Highness's intelligence, even if you are plotted by Yan Ai, you will definitely have a trump card, and you will not be so panicked.
"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo chuckled a few more times, and then said, "Then you guessed wrong."
"I don't have any trump cards. I'm just enough. How do you put it in human terms?"
"Oh, by the way, optimist. I'm just optimist enough."
Speaking of this, La Riluo's head slowly vaporized, and for a moment, it formed a small full-body image of La Riluo.
In the image, La Riluo sat comfortably in the air, then looked at Qiu Tu curiously, and then asked, "Qiu Tu, I am actually more curious about you than my own situation."
La Riluo smiled evilly, "You are not just looking for me to chat at this time, right?"
La Riluo straightened her legs, and her pair of beady little feet almost reached Qiu Tu's mouth. She smiled mischievously, "Let me guess."
"If I'm not mistaken, you are here to test me and want to make a deal with me, right?"
