In silence, Zhou Li thought carefully about Uncle Yun's words and digested the information. After a long time, he finally realized: "It is indeed not easy for him, but what does this have to do with me?"
Uncle Yun rolled his eyes at him again, "We're almost there, can you let me finish? Don't interrupt."
Zhou Li nodded helplessly. Uncle Yun didn't hear him continue to talk nonsense, and he felt a little better. He continued: "The superiors want to help him rise to the top, but some people in the bureau don't want him to become the director-people with abilities cannot lose their independence. , nor can it be turned into a tool of political power.
In fact, most people are like this. Once they gain strength, they can no longer endure the constraints of the system like other people This is a knot that cannot be untied. It was impossible for them to accept the rise of Chen Nanchao, who had such a strong government background. "
Zhou Li vaguely understood something: "So?"
"So, some people want to throw him out, send him far away, and become a lord who sticks to one place. It looks like enfeoffment, but in fact it is an overt promotion and covert reduction, keeping him away from the core of power. From then on , the director has nothing to do with him."
Uncle Yun paused for a moment and looked at the silent Zhou Li: "Do you understand now? Where is the fiefdom chosen for him?"
Zhou Li looked at him silently, and finally understood in his heart: "Is it in Shangyang?"
"Yes, this matter has almost become semi-public, and the entire relevant departments know about it. You don't knowyou deserve it. Who made you unwilling to contact me all the time? I want to tell you these things and you can't do anything. But when you said you wanted to become Lord Shangyang, you hit the target. Who can you blame?"
Zhou Li was surprised for a while, and he went around in circles about this matter, but it ended up falling on him again? Why is this shit happening lately? This made him feel irritated: "Zhu Sheng wants to kill me just because of this nonsense? What kind of bullshit logic is this!"
Uncle Yun couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude: "Just think about it, Chen Nanchao used to be so prosperous, but now he has been suppressed by others, and he has to be devolved to be a lord The hard work of ** years is not only in vain, but also can't be reaped. . This matter is already frustrating enough, but then another person jumps out and makes it impossible for him to become a rich man"
Zhou Li couldn't help but cursed: "What the hellwho came up with this idea?"
"Old Director. What about the former most capable person in the country? Do you have any objections?"
"I didn't tell you." Zhou Li couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Can't you just change it?"
Uncle Yun cast a look at him doubting his intelligence: "Can you please understand? This place is not just a map. Just draw a circle with your eyes closed. There are too many levels and people involved. I don't know how much negotiation has been done." It was decided to go to Shangyang several times, do you think you can change it if you want?"
Zhou Li was finally helpless. It seemed that there were several "reinforced concrete beams" between him and Chen Nanchao. It was inexplicable that he could encounter so many troubles when applying for a lord.
Looking at his helpless expression, Uncle Yun encouraged him with a faint smile: "How about you change a place?"
Zhou Li was too lazy to roll his eyes. How could he say that he could just change to another place? It's okay for him to be alone. He can travel all over the world with a small package; but the problem is. If you want to change, it won't be as simple as just yourself.
Shangyang is a starting foundation for me, and I cannot give it to others no matter what. Besides, now that I am on the opposite side of Chen Nanchao, will he still be able to give me good fruits when he becomes the lord? Lords have the right to expel ability users within their territory. And it is still open and above board, no one can interfere.
Only on this issue, Zhou Li could not retreat, not even a step.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the cabin, Zhou Li decided not to think about these troublesome things after being silent for a long time. The change of leadership of the ¡®relevant departments¡¯ has only been rumored so far, and the real change of leadership will not take place until around April next year.
¡°Anyway, after the New Year, he had to decide to go to Zhonghai, whether it was Fu Ming¡¯s commission or repairing the torture rack there were enough troubles, and he didn¡¯t miss this one.
Recalling that Zi Jin's assets had shrunk by more than half after he decided to let Fu Xiu continue to receive treatment, he had a headache; the things he seemed to encounter recently were always strange, making him feel like he was too busy. .
After he decided to put this issue aside for a while, Zhou Li noticed that he only mentioned four of the five candidates Uncle Yun mentioned, and suddenly asked with some confusion: "Isn't there another one?"
"What one?"
Zhou Li thought for a moment: "That Lu Hua what is he doing?"
"Lu Huaxu? Indeed, he is the strongest"
Uncle Yun was stunned for a moment. What appeared on his face this time wasA truly bitter expression. After a long silence, he flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and asked in a low voice: "Do you expect a person with late-stage Mohs syndrome who may die suddenly at any time to become the director of the 'relevant department'?"
Zhou Li fell into silence, it was Mohs syndrome again Isn't this a symptom that only one case among ten thousand ability users has? Why does it appear so frequently recently?
After another headache, he sighed and rubbed his swollen head, and whispered: "Okay, the last questionthen why don't you go on your own? Your qualifications should be enough, right?"
"Well, indeed, that's enough."
Uncle Yun suddenly laughed, nodded seriously and said, "It's a pity that the one who retired together with the old director is me."
Come on, it¡¯s all caused by you guys anyway! Why did Mao Yiyi form a team together and give up the choice at such a critical moment?
Zhou Li focused his resentful eyes on him, but Uncle Yun looked around as if he didn't see anything. He took a big sip from a cigarette he bought from somewhere, and then accidentally smoked too much, coughing violently. got up.
Seeing his painful look, Zhou Li hugged his arms and learned to be like him, showing a calm expression that he didn't see anything.
¡°Forget it, you old bastard, don¡¯t expect me to help you feel better this time.
It didn¡¯t take long before the silent and wordless return journey began.
There was nothing to say all the way, and it was already noon the next day when the plane returned to Shangyang. Uncle Yun and the others wanted to return directly to Zhonghai, so they didn't get off the plane. They just put Zhou Li down and left.
The heavy rain has stopped now, and the sky is as clear as if God had sprayed some detergent on it and then wiped it with a rag. Not even a small speck can be found.
Before leaving, Wu Jiangshan, who had always looked ashamed, patted Zhou Li on the shoulder and said nothing. Fan Dongliu gave him his number enthusiastically. And asked him to call him the next time he goes to Zhonghai, and he will definitely take him for a fun trip.
Zhou Li stood at the airport, watching the helicopter take off into the sky. Looking up at the sunshine in the sky and the retreating black shadows, I suddenly felt that everything last night was unreal.
After touching his pocket, he realized that the wallet was soaked. Fortunately, the money inside can still be spent. After hailing a taxi with a naked look, he decided to go home and change his clothes first. He had had enough of this clothes.
Halfway through, he turned on his phone and saw several text messages and missed calls - two from Lu's landline, two from Lu Ruoshui, one asking him if he could come back in the morning, and one telling him to go shopping by himself. went.
The boss¡¯s sister sent a text message complaining about the bad weather and asking him to be careful about catching a cold. Zhou Li smiled and replied to the two of them, saying that he was back.
After finishing. His phone vibrated again, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the number of the incoming message. It turned out to be Uncle Yun who had just sent him away:
"Wu Jiangshan feels that he is partly at fault for what happened to Zhu Sheng this time. Although this guy looks fat, he is thin-skinned. I'm sorry to apologize to you. I just told me that I want to transfer the salary from this mission to you. It¡¯s not much money, so I agreed for you.¡±
Zhou Li smiled and replied: "I happen to be short of money, so I won't push it out. Fatty is a good person, how about you share some with me?"
Uncle Yun¡¯s reply came quickly, concisely and concisely, with only one word - ¡®Get out. ¡¯
¡°Tsk, look at how stingy you are.
Zhou Li sighed with helplessness: It seems that I am greedy for your little money.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that he had become much thicker-skinned recently, but it didn't matter, he was used to being shameless anyway.
After returning home, taking a shower and changing out of his clothes, he felt much more comfortable.
After leaving a note for Lu Ruoshui, he went out again and went straight to the cafe.
The business in the store was as usual. The peak period had just passed. Li Zijin, who was free, was sitting in front of the window and flipping through the book that had been exposed by Zhou Li Because this book had been exposed to her a lot in the past two days. Eye roll. But some people think it doesn't matter. As always, they feel that the boss's sister is the boss's sister. Even when they roll their eyes, they feel charming.
Wei Zai was as usual, practicing boxing in the backyard again and again. When he saw Zhou Li coming back, he just nodded and continued to practice boxing, like a worldly expert who looked down on the world.
Zhou Li said hello, and after taking a look around, he found that everything was the same as before. The cold thoughts in his heart from last night to now also began to thaw, and it looked a lot brighter.
Finally he yawned and sat downBeside Li Zijin, basking in the bright sunshine outside the window, he leaned lazily on the sofa, his body always sliding towards Li Zijin intentionally or unintentionally. After pushing him back several times, Li Zijin finally helplessly let him lean on him.
Rarely, Zhou Li leaned calmly on Li Zijin beside him, yawned sleepily, and whispered in a low voice: "I'm back."
Smelling the familiar smell, he showed a soft smile, which slowly relaxed his tense nerves and made him feel sleepy.
"I just went to bed when I got back." Li Zijin murmured in a low voice. Looking at his quiet expression, he smiled and complained in a low voice: "Still so lazy."
Zhou Li did not open his eyes, but changed to a more comfortable position and whispered: "I'm a little sleepy. I'll sleep for a while. Wake me up later."
"Yeah." Li Zijin nodded lightly, closed the book in his hand, and motioned to the clerk to turn down the music volume.
Amidst the quiet and soothing piano sound, she quietly looked at Zhou Li's quiet expression, and couldn't help but reach out and push the hair away from his forehead, showing a smile.
"Thanks for your hard work."
She whispered in a voice that only she could hear. (To be continued)
