After some attempts, Yang Xiao was quite satisfied with the results. Compared to two months ago, his spiritual power had reached a new level, and what surprised him even more was his improved control over the magic artifacts.
Just now, he used the Human Bone Staff to spin the ghost masquerading as a good sister round and round, like a top that couldn’t turn over.
To avoid retaliation, Yang Xiao cautiously chose to stop at an appropriate point. Before he could completely seal the "good sister," he still needed to bide his time and gather strength.
Early the next morning, as soon as Yang Xiao arrived at the office, he was called to Nalan Shuo’s office. Standing outside the door, he knocked lightly. Upon getting permission, Yang Xiao pushed the door open to enter. Although he and Nalan Shuo were as close as father and son, workplace rules must still be followed. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Director, you wanted to see me?" Yang Xiao asked after entering and seeing Nalan Shuo leisurely reading a newspaper on the sofa. A full set of tea sets was laid on the table, with steam rising from the teacups, giving an elegant atmosphere.
Seeing Yang Xiao come in, Nalan Shuo folded the newspaper and put it aside, motioning with the other hand for Yang Xiao to come over and sit.
Once Yang Xiao sat down, Nalan Shuo scrutinized him for a moment, nodded, and asked, "How is your recovery?"
"Much better, don’t worry," Yang Xiao replied.
"Good, that’s good. You should’ve received the news by now; things haven’t been peaceful lately. Many unidentified individuals have appeared near Rongcheng, quite a number of them," Nalan Shuo said calmly. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"I’ve received the news. Reportedly, there are dozens, all from outside, with a few holding sensitive identities—people on the wanted list," Yang Xiao replied truthfully, as these details were in the Patrol Defense Office’s documents.
"Keep an eye out, and once everything is clarified, we need to deal with them. You will arrange how to proceed," Nalan Shuo instructed.
"Discuss this with Fu Qingzhu in advance. We will need cooperation from their Union, as some are hiding on their territory. If we act directly, it wouldn’t look good," Nalan Shuo added.
"Understood," Yang Xiao nodded.
"By the way, have you seen him since you returned?" Nalan Shuo suddenly asked.
"Not yet. I’ve been handling official matters during this period. As you instructed, these days require more activity and positivity in attitude, which the higher-ups will notice," Yang Xiao explained.
"Yes, find some time to talk to Fu Qingzhu. Your transfer to the Provincial Office is settled, and once you leave, you must relinquish your position as Specialist of the Three-party Action Bureau in Rongcheng."
"I’ve spoken with Huang Guozhao and decided against having Qu Muzhi take this position. Two appointments as Director from the Patrol Division are already unprecedented."
"The Chamber of Commerce’s Chi Dan doesn’t seem interested in this position either, leaving only Fu Qingzhu and Xi Murou as candidates."
"But you know, Xi Murou isn’t from the three major forces. Even if given a chance, she wouldn’t be selected. Therefore, the choice falls on Fu Qingzhu, as he is the only qualified candidate," Nalan Shuo briefly glanced at Yang Xiao. "What do you think?"
Hearing that his good friend might take this position, Yang Xiao was naturally willing but couldn’t show it too obviously, "Fu Qingzhu is capable. During my absence, he’s been handling all the matters of the Three-party Action Bureau. Both Chi Dan and Director Qu aren’t the types who enjoy managing, and Fu Qingzhu is also an executive committee member, so by merit, he should take it."
"If Fu Qingzhu takes the position, it will be very beneficial for our Lin’an Office. He’s always admired you and often expresses in front of me his desire to learn from you. With him managing the Three-party Action Bureau, communication between you two will be much easier," Yang Xiao considered both helping his good friend and Director Nalan’s feelings.
"Yes, although your words are a bit embellished, that’s mostly the case. I’ve discussed it with Huang Guozhao, and from the Patrol Division’s standpoint, he is the most suitable candidate."
"Even considering your influence, he won’t push things too far in certain matters," Nalan Shuo pointed out the truth.
"What do you need me to do?" Yang Xiao straightforwardly asked Nalan Shuo.
"Meet with Fu Qingzhu as soon as possible and tell him about this. It’s a favor, and I think it’s better for you to present it than for us old guys."
"But remember, you represent not just yourself, but our entire Rongcheng Patrol Division, and we fully support your decision," Nalan Shuo said firmly.
"Understood! I will definitely not let you and Chief Huang down!" Yang Xiao declared steadfastly.
Yang Xiao fully understood the intentions of Director Nalan and Chief Huang. This was a favor, as most people didn’t even know he was about to transfer to the Provincial Office."
At this time, for the Patrol Division to support Fu Qingzhu in taking the next Specialist position of the Action Bureau is a significant gesture of support and goodwill.
Without the Patrol Division’s support, it would be impossible for Fu Qingzhu to secure this position.
And in return, once Fu Qingzhu takes office, he must consider the Patrol Division’s interests in decisions on key matters.
Indeed, whether in terms of identity or personal emotions, having Yang Xiao carry out this task was the most secure option.
This matter should be dealt with promptly. Right after leaving Director Nalan’s office, Yang Xiao immediately contacted Fu Qingzhu and scheduled a meeting for the evening.
Originally, Yang Xiao wanted to arrange for a meeting place, but Fu Qingzhu insisted on meeting at one of their Rongcheng Union bases.
