Chapter 302: Same Style as Before
Gu Tingzhou walked into Yao Yuanzao's office.

The specifications of offices in different branches are different. This assistant's office is particularly spacious and can accommodate the three bedrooms and two living rooms of an ordinary family.

There were two sets of sofas in the office, and Gu Tingzhou doubted whether they had been used. He had never been an assistant to the dean, but he had been the dean of a branch in charge of only one city. At that time, his office and the assistant's office were next to each other. Not many people came to his office, and even fewer people came to the assistant's office, and most of them came alone.

Gu Tingzhou decided to give Yao Yuanzao a small punishment, to make him learn a lesson and to stop going on vacation during work. This small punishment was that someone would sit in his office every day so that the sofas could be put to good use.

Otherwise, a small assistant would take up such a large area. What is the difference between him and those people of the old times? It is an insult for him to use the power of the ancients in this way.

Gu Tingzhou wanted to open Yao Yuanzao's computer, but the computer had a password, so he had to give up. The desk had a drawer, and he broke the lock on the drawer himself, took out a thick file from the cabinet under the computer, and read it carefully.

Gu Tingzhou finished reading the sixth document, which dealt with the old-timers. He felt that the assistant's handling method was not appropriate. He threw the document to Chen Qingke: "Take a look at his handling method and tell me if there is a more reasonable way."

Chen Qingke knew the correct answer before he even read the document: "Yes."

The dean looked at more than one document. Any qualified assistant would have a higher accuracy rate than error rate in what he does, otherwise such a person would have been demoted long ago. The dean picked out this one, so there must be something wrong with it.

Would the Dean think of the same problem as he did? Chen Qingke couldn't guess this, and he looked very carefully, trying to pick out every mistake, so that when he spoke, he could be well-reasoned and not seem to be climbing up the ladder. If the Dean thought that his words were all flattery and were all said in accordance with the leader's wishes, then he would probably be done for in this job.

Gu Tingzhou finished reading three more documents and took out one of them and threw it to the secretary, who was still reading the previous document.

"You don't need to point out his problem, you just need to talk about your solution. What would you do when faced with an Ancient One who has this ability and does this kind of thing?"

Is there such a power? What power? Can wealth be considered a power? Possessing unimaginable wealth, and then using wealth to tempt ordinary people who have little money to make wrong choices? Although these choices are not serious and usually not fatal, these temptations should not exist. How to do it? Isn't that obvious? In this document, Yao Yuanzao chose to show mercy and spare the man's life, but he would not choose this.

Chen Qingke stated his choice: "Execution."

"Execution? His crime is nothing more than buying people's hearts with money. Execution is too severe, and confiscating half of his property is too light. His freedom must also be confiscated. It would be best if he would be willing to sell his freedom. Go check this person out. Help me find the opportunity and reason for him to sell his freedom."

Chen Qingke is responsible for helping the dean with his daily life, while the assistant is responsible for his work. However, under certain circumstances, the two roles can be interchanged, depending on the dean's needs. If the dean needs a secretary to handle work, then the dean will give the secretary the right to handle the work. Sometimes, the granting of rights only requires a single word.

"Yes. I'll immediately ask someone to investigate his life experience."

If you want someone to voluntarily give up his freedom, you have to exchange it with something more expensive and important than freedom. When the dean said "execution is too severe", he meant that his life must not be harmed. Life is certainly more important than freedom, but this item must be excluded and cannot be used for exchange.

At best, this medieval man was just tempting people with money. If he had done something like threatening people's lives, his crime would be much more serious. This time, he didn't dare to misinterpret the dean's order or add fuel to the dean's order.

"There's no rush to investigate. Yao Yuanzao's work is really not that good. We still have to help him solve many problems. Otherwise, he won't look like someone from the research institute, but someone from the old times, someone who dares to do anything for his own selfish desires."

Yao Yuanzao sat on the plane, looking at the gray sky. His subordinates sent him news that the secretary and the dean had left. His subordinates also sent him a few photos. He looked at them and was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat: the locks on the office had been removed, the locks on the drawers had also been removed, and the number of documents in the drawers had decreased.

For some reason, he suddenly had the urge to die with everyone on the plane. Gu Tingzhou picked up Zhao Yuxi at the station, and then the two of them went with the secretary to the temporary residence prepared for him by the secretary.

Standing by the window, you can see the river and a bridge.

The sky is vast and the river is vast.

Gu Tingzhou tried his best to look far away, and he was in a good mood: "You found a good place, thank you."

"You're welcome, Dean. This is what I should do."

"You can do what Yao Yuanzao can do. Go find that person. I want him to give me his freedom on his own initiative."

"Yes."

After the assistant left, Zhao Yuxi couldn't wait to hug Gu Tingzhou: "Who made you angry?"

"A medieval man. He made such a serious mistake, but Yao Yuanzao only confiscated half of his property."

"Is it Qin Zhouxing?" Zhao Yuxi had read Yao Yuanzao's work report. There was only one Medieval man whose property was confiscated by Yao Yuanzao recently.

"Yes. He seduced people into selling their dignity, self, conscience, loyalty, dreams, and bodies, but he only lost half of his property." Gu Tingzhou became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He wanted that man to lose his dignity, self, dreams, and body as well.

Zhao Yuxi also knew about the deeds of this medieval man. There was nothing wrong with the assistant's solution. He used fines, persuasion, threats, and surveillance, and the most obvious one was fines.

"It's unlikely that we can rely on the assistant or secretary to make him surrender his freedom. Only with the intervention of the Ancient One can we make him bow his head and confess his guilt. Why don't we go see that person first? It doesn't matter who solves the problem. What matters is that the problem is solved, right?"

"Yes. Sister Zhao Yuxi, why did you come back suddenly?"

"Of course, because I have something very important to tell you. I found an ancient in Shixian City. He looks like an ordinary person. I asked him to go to Youlong City and lurk there."

Gu Tingzhou said calmly: "We are ordinary people too."

"Yes. I went to see the Queen of Dongting Lake. She is also more ordinary than before. The long era in the past will not come back, but the era where 'Darkness' is is also short. While I still have the ability, I want to do more. What are you doing in the city?"

“Telling stories from childhood.”

Zhao Yuxi clapped, nodded, and praised: "Not bad, keep it up."
