Ancient Jade City.

City Lord's Office.

At this time, a man who looked about fifty and full of majestic temperament leaned back on the sofa, looking at Qing Yuming, the deputy lord of the ancient jade city who was slightly respectful but not lacking in temperament, said with a serious expression: "Yu Ming, about your competition for the position of the fourth speaker of the ancient jade city, this matter has changed a little now. A member-level figure in the Chinese Parliament intervened, wanting to let one of his juniors pass to your ancient jade city... Although I am the deputy lord of the zodiac city and govern nine major cities including the ancient jade city, this matter is really difficult to deal with. It is not worth fighting for the position of a deputy lord."

"Brother Mingwei, I am not trying to pursue something. However, although I, the deputy city lord, have the title of the city lord and are a member of the local council, if I do not even have the right to propose personnel appointments and removals in the council, the work is really not easy to carry out. Many young people under my command, who are capable, energetic and motivated, have made many significant political achievements for the development of ancient jade. However, because I am not the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, I cannot nominate their promotion for their posts, so that people's hearts are separated... This team is difficult to lead."

Qing Yuming said with a heavy face.

"The local council is different from the high-level council. Generally speaking, only one chief, four deputy and five speakers are established. Among these four speakers, the first speaker is often elected by the city lord, military department and warrior association. That is to say, these three companies must occupy at least one speaker's seat, and there are only two speakers left. There are six deputy city lords in the ancient jade city. Although your achievements in recent years have been outstanding, it is not easy to stand out from the six deputy city lords. In addition, the high-level council...ah... I can only try my best to think of a solution."

The man known as Ming Wei looked embarrassed.

The appointments of officials of many departments and departments in a city, including military generals, are carried out through local Glory Parliament consultations. The members of the parliament have the right to vote, the five speakers have the right to nominate, and the first speaker has the right to vote. However, this power can only be used three times in a term of office. However, relying on the deterrence of the veto power, the first speaker is still the well-deserved first person in the city where the parliament is located.

Although Qing Yuming is the deputy city lord, he does not even have the right to nominate in the Glory Council. His subordinates are attentive in their work but cannot promise the other party's future, so naturally it is difficult to convince the public.

If he had no other ideas, he could naturally choose a speaker to surrender, but...

Qingyu obviously had great ambitions to do something, so it would be imperative to become the speaker of the Glory Council of the Ancient Jade City, otherwise how could his subordinates be willing to do things with care.

"Yu Ming, you don't have to worry. There are always more ways than difficulties. Our Hai family is also a first-class family in the Huaxia District. At present, the boss has even joined the high-level parliament and has become a member of the parliament. His influence... is extraordinary."

Hai Mingwei said, looking at Qing Yuming with some meaningfulness.

Qing Yuming was silent.

The Hai family doesn't want to see him independent, but they have to tie themselves to the Hai family's chariot...

"By the way, Yuming, I heard that the son born to you and your ex-wife, who is named Qingxu, is back?"

At this time, Hai Mingwei suddenly said.

Qing Yuming felt a stern, and he didn't expect that even Hai Mingwei, the second-ranked figure of the Hai family, knew about this.

"I'm back."

"Well, it's okay to come back, it's okay to come back. Although he ran away from home for more than ten years, now he can reunite you father and son... But Yuming, I still hope you can distinguish between the key points and the secondary. After all, you are the son-in-law of our Hai family and the husband of my fifth sister. You can naturally be congratulated on your reunion, but don't destroy the harmony of your family now. Do you understand?"

When Qing Yuming heard this, he realized the real purpose of this brother-in-law seeing him today, and understood why the matter of the fact that he had promised to push him to the fifth speaker suddenly became complicated. For a moment, his throat couldn't help but feel a little dry.

After a while, he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to handle the relationship between Xiaoxu and Weiwei and his daughter."

Hai Mingwei leaned forward slightly, looking at Qing Yuming in front of him, and still had the earnest tone, but his voice was obviously fading: "You are still young, less than fifty years old, and at the peak of politics. In addition, you are also very capable and have a long way to go in the future. I don't want you to delay your work because of family trivial matters. Isn't Qingxu living outside now? I think this is great. He is already an adult, and he is afraid he has already started a family and started a career? Then, as a father, you should let him go and go on his own. Don't always take him with you as a child, what do you think."

Qing Yuming was silent for a moment, thinking about the little things he had when he met Qingxu yesterday and some memories from Qingxu when he was young, and finally said slowly: "It's not that there is no place to live in the family, so why not live together with family? But... I will respect Xiaoxu's own choice."

Hai Mingwei looked at Qing Yuming and his face became even colder: "Is that right? I hope you can handle the emotional matters between you father and son. By the way, I need to go to the capital for a meeting during this period. I am afraid I will not be in the main city of the zodiac in a short period of time. Therefore, if there is no major event, don't run to the main city of the zodiac."

The election of the Fifth Speaker is in these few days...

But as his most powerful arm, Hai Mingwei is going to the capital...

Qing Yuming immediately understood what Hai Mingwei meant...

but……

He did not regret what he did.

"Dongdong!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside Qing Yuming's office...

Qing Yuming frowned. Didn’t he tell him to be receiving distinguished guests and not disturb him at this time?

When Hai Mingwei saw someone disturbing the atmosphere he created, he stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late. Haitang has already booked a private room at Yunhaiju and invited several other cousins ​​and sisters from Guyu City and several juniors in the family. Don't forget to go over for a meal together after get off work. After I finish eating, I'll be ready to go directly to the capital."

"Yes, I will definitely go and see you off at that time."

Qing Yuming stood up.

The guests who could hear were basically cousins ​​of the Hai family. He had already vaguely guessed what these people would say next. This dinner might turn into a criticism and controversy against him in the later stage.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

At this time, the knock on the door sounded again.

"You assistant, you need to change."

Hai Mingwei looked at the eager knock on the door, shook his head sneered, as if he was saying that Qingyu was wise and knew no one.

"There should be something important, otherwise he wouldn't be so rude. Brother, I'll send it to you first."

Qing Yuming said, he had already stepped forward and took the lead in opening the door.

Outside the door, a man in his thirties was waiting. When he saw Qing Yuming open the door, he was about to speak.

However, before he could speak, Qing Yuming was the first to lower his voice and said, "What happened."

"City Lord..."

As the man spoke, his eyes were winking at the three people chatting on the side and walking in this direction.

Seeing the three people walking not far away, Qing Yuming was slightly stunned: "Lord Fengcheng? Speaker Ning!?"

What came here at this moment was Ning Zewu, the first speaker of the local glory council, who was born in the military department. Now these two big figures are coming at the same time, and...

Judging from the appearance of the two of them, they seemed to be accompanied by another woman who was about forty and full of mature aura...

Qing Yuming was about to come forward to greet him, but after Qing Yuming was about to leave, Hai Mingwei couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the woman in the middle: "Mr. Guan, why are you here?"

While speaking, he had already passed Qing Yuming first and went to shake hands with the woman called Councillor Guan with a passionate look on his face: "Hello Councillor Guan, I am Hai Mingwei from the zodiac city, and my brother Hai Dongsheng often mentions you in front of me."

"Mr. Guan..."

Qing Yuming saw Hai Mingwei's attitude, and then thought of the familiar appearance of this Councillor Guan, and immediately thought of something: "Corporate Guan Ruofei!"

This is a member of the parliamentary figure in the high-level parliament of the Huaxia District, and ranks among the few more than 300 members of the high-level parliamentary in the Huaxia District, with an amazing influence.

It is even rumored that she is the current Grand Consort of Huaxia District and is also the direct member of Lu Zhongyuan, the Speaker of the Honor Council of Huaxia District. She is deeply trusted by the Grand Consort and the First Speaker.

"Hello, Lord Haicheng."

Guan Ruofei smiled and nodded at Hai Mingwei. Although Hai Mingwei was a deputy city lord in the main city and was still one or two away from entering the high-level council, she called out Hai Mingwei's position as soon as possible, obviously knowing that he was.

This scene made Hai Mingwei feel a sense of flattery.

Guan Ruofei greeted Hai Mingwei. When he was a little stunned, he had already arrived directly in front of Qing Yuming and said with a smile: "This one is the Qing Yuming Qing City Lord? Qing City Lord is young and promising. All of us have seen the excellent achievements in the Ancient Yu City over the years and are highly rewarded. I came here specifically for the Qing City Lord."

Qing Yuming was shocked when he heard that such a big shot as Guan Ruofei came for him, but he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, Mr. Guan, I am very happy to be recognized by Mr. Guan and all of this. All of this is good for the city lord and the speaker. I, Qing Yuming, dare not take credit for me..."

"Haha, it's yours, and no one can take it away."

Guan Ruofei said with a smile, and at the same time, he told the first speaker, Ning Zewu, who was standing beside him: "Speaker Ning, I will reveal the news in advance, it should be okay."

"It doesn't matter, of course it doesn't matter. This appointment will be coming in three days anyway."

Ning Zewu responded quickly, and smiled at Qing Yuming and said, "Yu Ming, after discussion with the Lord Fengcheng and several other speakers and referring to the suggestions of the upper-level leaders, I decided to pass your application and ask you to be the Deputy Speaker of the Glory Council of the Guyu Dacheng. Congratulations, Speaker Qing Yuming."

"I... passed?"

Qing Yuming, who had been so fussed by Hai Mingwei, had almost never expressed hope for the fifth speaker, suddenly heard the news and was shocked.

"For outstanding talents, our local councils and even high-level councils, we naturally have to vigorously explore and entrust important tasks, so that they can serve the people more thoroughly. The achievements of the Qingyuming City Lord over the years can be regarded as outstanding among the 189 major cities in our Huaxia District, and they should be appointed as exceptional."

After Guan Ruofei expressed his attitude, he turned to Qing Yuming again under everyone's uncertainty and said a sentence that shocked the Lord of the Guyu Dacheng City, Ning Zewu, and Hai Mingwei, the Deputy Lord of the Huangdao Dacheng City: "Lord of Qing Yuming City, work hard. If you can continue to maintain this energy and the momentum will continue, when the time is ripe in the future, I can personally submit an application for you to the Grand Consort for you!"
