No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
"Mr. York."
Two hours later, Zhou Xing appeared in Little York's office.
Little York was looking through a thick file at this time.
Since the boundary wall plan came into being, Luoyue City has become the bridgehead for all nearby cities.
A large amount of supplies needed to be allocated, which undoubtedly greatly increased Little York's workload.
His place is not like Jinfeng City, and there are not so many people available.
The only ones who could help him were Mingx and Zhou Xing.
But both of them have certain "shortcomings".
Minx is highly credible, but his abilities are not top-notch.
Zhou Xing is very capable, but because he is from the upper city, little York must be a little wary of him.
Even though Ning Fan had already mentioned to Luo Xiu that Zhou Xing seemed to be someone who could be reused for the time being, he still needed to observe Xiao York carefully with his own eyes.
Therefore, all the tedious tasks at hand need to be handled by Little York.
Caution is his advantage.
To be precise, it was the advantages cultivated by Luo Xiu.
"Chen Xin has agreed to gather the supplies we need within ten days."
Zhou Xing's face didn't look good, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
He is different from Chen Xin.
He never treated the young person in front of him as a child.
Child, it is impossible for you to be sent here and entrusted with such an important task.
Moreover, judging from my time with Little York...
Zhou Xing actually felt that he could not quite understand him.
Although Zhou Xing has never had a sharp personality, he is actually quite proud in his heart.
He is very smart and knows how to judge the situation.
Coming to Ning Fan is the best proof.
But such a smart person was suspicious and even wary of the seemingly childish little York.
This is enough to show that Little York did put some pressure on Zhou Xing.
"Um."
Little York put the document down, raised his head, and a smile spread across his face: "Keep an eye on him during this time."
Without waiting for Zhou Xing's response, Little York smiled and said, "Give him some news in the next ten days and let him spread it out."
Zhou Xing frowned even more tightly.
He understood what little York meant.
It is impossible for Chen Xin to just go and get supplies honestly.
Because the list that Little York had compiled before was really too long!
If Chen Xin really works hard to get the supplies on the list, he can actually get more.
The only price he would pay is that he would offend all his connections, and might even become a pariah among the people on the street, making countless enemies!
If Chen Xin is determined enough to stick with Ning Fan, then he might make this choice.
After all, when all his supporters left him, it actually showed that he was truly loyal and did not leave himself any way out.
However, Chen Xin would not.
This is something that both Little York and Zhou Xing are certain of.
People like Chen Xin expose themselves too easily.
So he must be reluctant to part with the things in his hands.
And with Little York pushing him so hard, he only had one choice left.
opposite!
Chen Xin might even feel that I wanted to be loyal to you, but you forced me to rebel!
"I don't understand, Mr. York."
Zhou Xing was clearly struggling for a while before he finally made up his mind: "If we don't embarrass Chen Xin, he might not... make this choice."
The reason why Zhou Xing's expression was so solemn was actually because he felt that Chen Xin's rebellion could have been avoided.
He wasn't upset for Chen Xinming, but...
The lips and teeth are interdependent!
The common label between him and Chen Xin is that they are both from Shangcheng.
Little York treated Chen Xin like this today, but who can guarantee that he won’t treat himself like this tomorrow?
Zhou Xing can be sure that he is now truly joining the Xiacheng forces.
But if one day, Little York used the same method on him...
Will he still be so determined?
If I lose my resolve, will I end up like Chen Xin?
"City Lord Zhou."
Little York put down the documents in his hand completely, then leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Let me tell you a story."
Zhou Xing didn't say anything, but chose to wait quietly.
"In the Lower City, it is divided into eight areas, which are called districts."
"Among them, the chief of District A unfortunately passed away due to health reasons, leaving behind only a child who was less than ten years old."
"I believe you can imagine how difficult it is for this child to survive under such circumstances."
"The good news is that this child survived through what his father taught him."
"The bad news is that he doesn't have any autonomy. Compared to Chen Xin now, that kid can't even decide what to eat tonight."
"And so, the child grew up healthy to the age of ten. It was also in that year that our Grand Commander successfully conquered Region A."
"He still made this kid the chief district chief here, and also arranged for someone to help him and teach him how to manage such a large district."
"Originally, this child hadn't given up, hoping to regain District A after growing up."
"But later, the teacher assigned to him by the Grand General told him that the biggest difference between smart people and fools is knowing how to make choices."
“Sometimes when you lose something, you may gain more.”
Little York smiled and looked out the window: "City Lord Zhou, I can be sure that Chen Xin is definitely not a smart person."
After saying that, he turned his head back and looked at Zhou Xing with a smile: "And you, I think so."
Of course Zhou Xing knew that the "child" that Little York was talking about was himself.
Although the "story" told by little York was very simple, Zhou Xing finally understood why this child was so cunning that was inconsistent with his age.
At the same time, he also felt that the situation in the lower city was much worse than that in the upper city.
No wonder a monster like Little York would appear in the lower town.
"Let Chen Xin spread the news."
Little York returned to the point: "In the short term, he certainly won't openly turn against us. Although he's not smart, he won't seek death openly."
"Then he will certainly be able to raise the supplies we need for us."
"But he won't cut off his own retreat, so..."
Little York stood up and stretched.
"We'll give him a message and ask him to use it to exchange for the supplies we need."
"This way, he can fulfill our request without suffering any loss. Instead, he will feel that he has another path to choose."
"And then..."
Little York gradually narrowed his eyes.
"Find out where his supplies come from."
"Anyone who can buy information from him... must be not clean."
