Chapter 132 The Ancients Become Married

Seeing that she was still silent, Zhou Xutong took the initiative to break the silence: "President Zhao, please tell me if you have something to say."

Zhao Yuxi no longer hesitated. No matter what the dean intended, she came to meet the dean to give her two friends a chance to win: "There are two first-level stationmasters in Qichuan City. I want to promote them to third-level branch deans, but I'm afraid they won't be able to win in the duel."

"It's Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze, right? What are these two doing recently?"

"do not know."

"They are the most outstanding first-level stationmasters. Let them be promoted quickly. I will give you the right to lose, so you can rest assured."

"But there are two stationmasters who need to be upgraded."

Zhou Xutong said slowly, as if coaxing a child: "Please tell Gu Tingzhou that I will also give him the right to lose."

"Dean, he may not believe what I say."

"If he doesn't believe it, tell him to come to me."

"it is good."

"President Zhao, are you interested in helping me again?"

"You said."

Zhou Xutong pulled out the thinnest document from the pile of documents on the left side of the table: "A month ago, Zhang Songjie, the director of the temporary branch of Nianqiong City, discovered that the copper and silver boxes containing the files of the ancients in the city were missing, and his seal was also replaced."

Zhao Yuxi felt very strange: the copper box contained the files of illegal ancients, and any ancient could open the copper box with a seal of the dean of the branch. The seal of the dean of the temporary branch could also open the copper box. However, the silver box contained the files of ordinary ancients, and only the star master could open it. Stealing the silver box was a thankless task.

Zhou Xutong continued, "Three days ago, the seal of He Qingzhou, the director of the second-level branch of the institute, was replaced, and all the copper boxes and silver boxes under his jurisdiction disappeared. Maybe the thief thought that the seal of the ancients was more special and could open the silver box, but it couldn't. However, this behavior proves that the thief is an ancient."

Zhao Yuxi had met He Qingzhou, the spokesperson for the King of Qilian Mountain, an eighth-level ancient. He was older than Gu Tingzhou, but not as strong as Gu Tingzhou.

"You want me to find the thief?"

"It may be a bit difficult to ask you to find someone. Stealing files and seals is not something that any ancient person can do."

"Did our people do this?"

"Wouldn't it be much easier for you to investigate your own people?"

"Yes. Give me the list and I'll ask them one by one."

"There's no need for a list. There aren't many people. Just remember them. Ye Lianshi was promoted to the dean of the second-level branch five days ago. He and his wife are the ones you're looking for."

The spokesperson of the Snow Peak Mountain King, the seventh-level ancient, Ye Lianshi. Zhao Yuxi knew him, and she had carefully observed this person with musical notes. This person was quite normal. She didn't think Ye Lianshi would steal the seal and files. But when did he have a wife?
"Is Ye Lianshi of legal age? Isn't he about my age?"

"A lot of the things you do are more illegal than what he does."

Zhou Xutong felt that it was ridiculous for Zhao Yuxi to say the word "legal", but Zhao Yuxi was the spokesperson for the Star Lord, and he didn't want to offend such a person yet. He tried not to sound so serious, but this still elicited a ruthless rebuttal from Zhao Yuxi.

"What I did was legal within my jurisdiction. Who is older, Ye Lianshi or his wife?"

"Your focus is really... Ye Lianshi, 20 years old. Ye Lianshi's wife, Zhang Haochen, 22 years old."

"Who's chasing whom?"

"President Zhao, you're focusing on the wrong thing again. It doesn't matter who's chasing whom. What's important is that these two people have similar asymptotic lines and similar asymptotic rates. Their union is an abnormal thing. Zhang Haochen has neither joined the Institute nor the Academy of Sciences. There's only one Ancient One among 3.9 million people. It's not normal for two Ancients to meet outside of the two institutes and become husband and wife."

Zhao Yuxi finally agreed with the dean's words: "Yeah. It's not normal."

"I want you to help me find out what's wrong with them."

"What benefit can I get?" Zhou Xutong deeply realized that Zhao Yuxi was not easy to fool. She was much more difficult to deal with than Gu Tingzhou. Compared with Zhao Yuxi, Ye Lianshi's wife could be considered a normal person. After all, in the past two months, there were at least nine hundred "talented people" who fell into Zhao Yuxi's hands. What's more serious is that many of them were not under her jurisdiction, but she took them away by force. Since then, some people have completely left the sight of the institute, and their life and death are unknown.

"There are seven Level 4 executive officers in the main hospital. You take four of them."

After joining the institute, the ancient who tied for tenth place in the second modeling competition became a fourth-level executive. Executives are divided into four levels and all work at the institute's headquarters.

按照赵妤曦的理解，研究院里的执行官没什么实权。执行官体系和分院院长体系有一个共同点，那就是收入与权力成正比。前者的月薪分别是45、40、35、30万，后者的月薪却是60~74、45~54、30~34、15~16万。从总体上看，执行官的收入低于同级别的分院院长。

Zhao Yuxi remembered that when the institute recruited executive officers, they didn't say that they would not give them real power, but only said that the executive officers' power was less than that of the deans of the branch institutes. These people were not as reliable as the spokespersons, and they often appeared next to the deans and vice deans, so it was easy for them to get out of control because of their excessive power. In addition, the executive officers were all ancients, while the deans of the third and fourth level branches could be middle-aged people. In comparison, it was even more disadvantageous to work in the main institute.

"It's just a small investigation. Why bring so many executive officers?"

"I'm afraid you'll suffer if you're alone. Ye Lianshi's asymptote is very special. He can easily control any member of the opposite sex."

Zhou Xutong didn't dare to let Zhao Yuxi take the risk alone. If Zhao Yuxi was controlled, he would not be able to explain to the Star Lord. But if he only sent men, it would be even more difficult. Because Zhang Haochen could easily control any opposite sex. Zhao Yuxi and Ye Lianshi were colleagues and spokesmen, so they had some friendship. In addition, Zhao Yuxi was smart and lively, so Ye Lianshi would not do anything beyond the line.

"Dean, don't think too much and don't complicate simple things. If I find out that there is something wrong between them, how will you deal with them?"

"Call them back to the Institute."

"Only this?"

"Ye Lianshi is the spokesperson for the Star Lord, and we have to give the Star Lord face. I also gave you face for what you did."

Zhao Yuxi "argued with reason": "Didn't I just arrest a few typical cases..."

"You can catch typical cases, but don't cut a living person into tens of thousands of pieces." Zhou Xutong didn't argue with her: You caught far more than a few "typical cases". Most of these "typical cases" went bankrupt in your hands. Your style is comparable to that of the ancients in the sky line. You are a rare "talent".

"Tens of thousands? Are you talking about Peng Yehui? Do you know that there are far more than tens of thousands of people who have cursed Peng Yehui? The number of people who have been hurt by Peng Yehui is also more than tens of thousands."

"But you cut Peng Yehui into tens of thousands of pieces, not for these reasons. Moreover, you also..."

"Stop, his son is not innocent either. They should share the happiness before the darkness comes, and share the hardship after the darkness comes. This is reasonable."

In Zhou Xutong's opinion, this matter was unreasonable.

The news he got was that Zhao Yuxi asked Peng Yehui to give her 90% of the family property, but Peng Yehui refused, so Peng Yehui was cut by 80 knives. Later, Zhao Yuxi lowered the standard to 10%, and Peng Yehui refused again, and then he was cut by knives. Until finally, Zhao Yuxi lowered the standard to %, but Peng Yehui still did not compromise, and then his son was cut by knives.

Zhou Xutong knew that Peng Yehui deserved to die, and even Peng Yehui's son deserved to die, but cutting tens of thousands of times was obviously not something a normal person could do, which reminded people of ancient tyrants. But then again, if ancient tyrants had the ability like Zhao Yuxi, they would definitely be more excessive than Zhao Yuxi, there is no doubt about that.

"It's reasonable, but is it legal?"

"The Star Lord has not made me an illegal. The box containing my files is not a copper box."

Zhao Yuxi brought up the Star Lord, and Zhou Xutong didn't want to argue with her anymore: "Let's not talk about this for now. After I recall Ye Lianshi, you will manage his six cities."

Zhao Yuxi said, "Okay."

Zhou Xutong emphasized again: "He and his wife can control the opposite sex. Be careful when you go there. If you can't complete the task, come back quickly and don't get yourself involved."

"I remember."

"Let's get back to the point. You want Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze to be promoted to deans of the third-level branches. Do I need to personally give orders to Gu Tingzhu to ask him to show mercy?"

Zhao Yuxi came here for this matter, but at this moment a new idea flashed through her mind. Compared with this idea, the dean's proposal was too conventional. So, she rejected the dean's kindness: "No, if he doesn't cooperate, I can just knock him down at the critical moment."

"Do you hate Gu Tingzhou?"

"It's not that I hate it, but I don't like it."
