Chapter 125: Eliminate Illegal Ancients
Mu Zhengguang left Xu Yingze's house after having lunch.
After waking up from her lunch break, Xu Ying received a message from Zhao Yuxi, so she went to the city again.
As soon as they met, Xu Yingze asked her: "Is Gu Tingzhou reliable? Why hasn't he given Mu Zhengguang a task yet?"
"Gu Tingzhou is probably reliable. I'll send him a message to urge him." Zhao Yuxi did what she said and immediately sent a message to Gu Tingzhou: Have you chosen your task?
After Zhao Yuxi sent the message, she handed the phone to Xu Yingze and said, "Let's just wait for his reply. Let's go to the high-speed rail station."
Xu Ying suddenly realized that she was still missing a necessary procedure before boarding the bus: "Is it too late to buy a ticket now? Will there be no tickets?"
"How come the branch dean is traveling without a ticket? Wait a moment, I'll ask my secretary to buy the tickets for me." Zhao Yuxi sent a message to Yang Mohan: Please get me two high-speed rail tickets to Youlong City this afternoon, and send me the ticket information after you get them.
"The secretary also helps buy tickets?"
Zhao Yuxi said indifferently: "Isn't this the responsibility of a personal secretary? When you are promoted to the dean of the branch, you will also have a personal secretary."
"unnecessary."
A few minutes later, the secretary sent the ticket information.
After arriving at the high-speed rail station, Zhao Yuxi showed her ticket information to the staff, and the staff gave her the ticket.
Xu Ying was very confused after seeing the ticket: there was only time and place on the ticket, but no person. Could this kind of ticket be used?
The fact is, this kind of ticket does work, and the two of them got on the bus without any hindrance.
The high-speed train arrived at the next city and stopped. At this time, Zhao Yuxi had not received a reply from Gu Tingzhou.
Gu Tingzhou's life is far less casual than Zhao Yuxi's. He can't run around like Zhao, the dean of the branch. Friends and relatives all know that he is the dean of the branch, which brings him a lot of trouble.
He has to spend a lot of time and energy every day dealing with people and things in the outside world. His power has been recognized and admired by relatives and friends, but his daily life seems to be in a thrilling dilemma.
Dean Gu has almost no characteristics of a successful person in the secular framework. If you really want to dig deeper, people like him have no obvious advantages or disadvantages. Compared with the great figures who are famous in history, he seems to be not worth mentioning. If it weren't for the "darkness", he would never have become the master of a city, let alone be promoted.
Qi Wenjing obtained the power of Sorenson, and the power obtained by the Dean of the Gu Branch was similar, but his advantage was much more obvious than Qi Wenjing. Gu Tingzhou obtained the "strongest power" to a certain extent, and his determination and ambition were far greater than Qi Wenjing.
From the perspective of age, Qi Wenjing is only in junior high school, while Gu Tingzhou is already in college. Loosely speaking, in people's minds, Qi Wenjing is more worthy of the asymptote of the dean of Gu Branch.
As he grew older, Gu Tingzhou never forgot the interests and happiness of his childhood.
Although he was criticized for this hobby in his childhood, and although he was criticized even more for maintaining this interest in his adolescence, and especially in adulthood, he was criticized for not changing his interests, all this hard work finally paid off.
People around him no longer dared to describe him as a "child who never grows up" or make fun of his hobbies. He became a role model for a large group of people and a powerful head of the family, but he knew very well that he was still the same person as before, and this had not changed.
Gu Tingzhou's mind is far less mature and stable than Zhao Yuxi's. Zhao Yuxi often gives orders to her family and enjoys it, but he can't do that. His experience and thinking are not enough to support him to see through and deal with these complex interpersonal relationships. As a result, he lives an extremely tired life and has little leisure time.
Zhao Yuxi was eager to reply to Xu Yingze, but the director of the branch opposite never replied to her message, which made her a little impatient: I chose you as an ally, so you have to shoulder the responsibilities of an ally. Today is not a working day. The institute has few tasks to give you. You are not busy at work, so you should reply to my message quickly. An hour has passed, and you haven't replied yet. What have you been doing? Are you working? Are you at work?
Unless there was something important, Gu Tingzhou was usually not at work. He was the director of the Tuyou City branch, but his family was not in Tuyou City, but in Yuqing City. No matter how he persuaded, his family did not agree to move, and their reason seemed to be impeccable: after moving, they would not be able to help other relatives and friends.
Gu Tingzhou was quite dissatisfied with this, but he could do nothing about it. The high-speed train started again, and on the way, Zhao Yuxi received a message from Gu Tingzhou: Not yet.
Zhao Yuxi carefully studied the reply from Dean Gu of the branch. The more she studied it, the angrier she became: I asked you to prepare more than ten days in advance, and you haven't chosen your task yet?
Zhao Yuxi issued an order to her colleague of the same level in a very impolite manner: In the city managed by the dean of the temporary branch, find a very weak illegal ancient and destroy him. You face the enemy, he watches, you get nine points of credit, and he gets one point.
This time Gu Tingzhou responded quickly.
He had thought of the idea of destroying the Ancients a long time ago, but he had not taken action because he was afraid of taking risks: what if he chose the wrong target?
However, after reading the message sent by Zhao Yuxi, he finally stopped hesitating and worrying: You said you would find the Ancient One. If anything unexpected happens, you will be responsible for it.
When Zhao Yuxi saw the words "I'll look for it", she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Ying, "Gu Tingzhou has replied. I think he will be able to send the task to Mu Zhengguang soon."
Xu Ying responded: "Thank you very much."
After receiving the "order", Gu Tingzhou immediately began to plan this matter: There are no illegal ancients in Tuyou City at present, but there may be some in Yuqing City. I have met the temporary director of the Yuqing City Research Institute branch, who is a young ancient, and the ancients obviously do not have the ability to eliminate the ancients.
Being able to participate in the mission of exterminating the ancients is enough to get the stationmaster promoted, and the dean of the branch a generous bonus. Gu Tingzhou plans to take a long vacation after completing this "deal" and take care of family affairs. The people at home have caused him some troubles, and these troubles, or these people, have reached the point where they have to be dealt with.
Gu Tingzhu went to the Yuqing City Research Institute branch.
Compared with other buildings in the city, the branch is nothing special and can even be described as simple. People often pass by here, but no one would have thought that the master of the city sits inside.
Yang Shengyao was respectful and cautious when interacting with Gu Tingzhou. In his opinion, there was an insurmountable gap between the two: the treatment of the temporary branch dean was far different from that of the formal branch dean.
The deans of formal branch schools are divided into level one, level two, level three, and level four. The deans of the first two levels must be ancients, while the deans of the last two levels can be both ancients and medievals. The deans of temporary branch schools are all medievals.
The dean of a fourth-level branch has jurisdiction over 1 to 2 cities and earns a monthly salary of 15 to 16 yuan.
The temporary branch director’s jurisdiction is one city and his monthly salary is 1 yuan.
Power and wealth were reduced by half.
But this is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that the rank of the official branch dean can only be promoted but not demoted. The rank of the temporary branch dean is the opposite, it can only be demoted but not promoted. Once a city has an official branch dean, they must resign or go to other cities to take up a post.
After leaving office, there are two options: the first option is to become an assistant to the dean of a branch, with a slightly reduced power and the same monthly salary. The second option is to become a second-level station manager, with a significantly reduced power and a monthly salary increase of 6.8 to 7.7 yuan.
Neither of these paths is easy.
Yang Shengyao was well aware that Gu Tingzhou was about to be promoted, while he was about to be demoted. Gu Tingzhou was a big shot whom he could not afford to offend.
Gu Tingzhou said: "Yuqing City is my hometown. Although I am not working here, I am still willing to contribute to the construction and development of the city. Are there any illegal ancients in the city? Leave it to me and I will deal with it."
The identity information of the ancients is not easily revealed to others, but the other party is also the dean of the branch, and the official dean of the branch. Yang Shengyao has no reason and no courage to refuse the dean's request. He opened the branch dean's special confidentiality cabinet and took out a copper box from it.
Gu Tingzhu took the copper box, and on the lid of the box was engraved a row of large characters: "Sun Jingqi, the ancient from Yuqing City".
