The king originally intended to give Chen Yun a warning before entrusting him with important responsibilities.
But after being interrupted by Fatty Liu, he couldn't bring himself to speak harshly to Chen Yun anymore. He had no choice but to skip the admonition and instead say in a gentler tone, "I was just reminding Chen Yun to be careful with his words!"
After speaking, he looked at Chen Yun and said, "Chen Yun, I have already discussed your appointment with the elders, such as Elder Zhang and Elder Qin, and it has been decided internally."
"The cabinet will undergo a major reshuffle soon, at which time your appointment notice will be issued."
"Take care of your personal matters for a while, and then you can fully dedicate yourself to your work!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun knew that this was a reassurance from his superior.
The implication of this phrase is undoubtedly: "Don't worry, the position of Grand Commander is yours. After a major reshuffle of the cabinet in a while, you will be ready to take office."
Chen Yun knew, of course, that the superior's words were not only meant to reassure him, but also to wait for his response!
He said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will handle my personal matters well and be ready to meet new challenges at any time. I will never let Your Excellency down."
Upon hearing Chen Yun's last words, the king smiled with satisfaction: "Very good!"
"I heard from Old Master Qin that you're preparing for your wedding. Don't forget to send me an invitation on your wedding day. I'd love to come to your house and have a drink with you!"
Chen Yun said, "It is my great honor!"
Fatty Liu quickly added, "Me too. When you get married, Brother Chen, remember to invite me for a couple of drinks."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Okay!"
The three chatted for a while longer, and Chen Yun, knowing that his superior was extremely busy, took his leave.
Fatty Liu originally intended to leave with Chen Yun.
But his father stopped him and kept him behind for a private talk.
After Chen Yun left.
Fatty Liu looked at his father with a puzzled expression: "Dad, why did you ask me to stay?"
His father said calmly, "You've become so familiar with Chen Yun in just two or three days?"
Fatty Liu said excitedly, "Dad, you don't know, Brother Chen is amazing! I admire no one but him..."
After saying that, he went on and on praising Chen Yun!
His father looked helpless and waved his hands repeatedly: "Alright, alright, I know. Chen Yun has become your idol. Well, that's fine. You're simple-minded and foolish. If you get along well with Chen Yun, he might become your greatest protector in the future."
Fatty Liu was completely bewildered and didn't quite understand what his father meant.
How would he know?
His father meant that Chen Yun was already a war god in the northern border at a young age and was about to be promoted to Grand Commander. In another ten or twenty years, Chen Yun would have a good chance to take another step forward.
At that time, Chen Yun might become Liu Pangzi's greatest protector.
...
Chen Yun left the imperial study and went to the lounge.
Shu Lingyue, Lai Fu, Lin Le, and the madman had been waiting for a long time.
Shu Lingyue was the first to speak: "Chen Yun, how did it go? Did the King reprimand you for anything?"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "No, they just gave me a few words of encouragement."
Everyone was relieved upon hearing this.
Lai Fu looked around but didn't see Fatty Liu, so he asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, Fatty Liu... uh, where's the Crown Prince?"
The madman and the others also looked at Chen Yun.
Chen Yun laughed and said, "His father kept him behind for a private talk. Let's go back first! By the way, don't reveal Liu Pangzi's identity to anyone, lest we cause trouble!"
Lai Fu and the others quickly said they understood.
The group emerged from the King's Palace.
They arrived in front of their two cars!
One was Lai Fu's old Audi A6, and the other was a white BMW 3 Series, which were Shu Lingyue's temporary vehicles in Beijing during this period.
Lin Le and the madman naturally got into the Audi driven by Lai Fu.
Chen Yun was also about to open the rear door of the Audi and get in.
But at that moment, Shu Lingyue, who had just fastened her seatbelt in the driver's seat of the BMW 3 Series, saw this scene and suddenly shouted, "Chen Yun!"
Chen Yun was stunned. He turned to look at Shu Lengyue in the BMW and asked with his eyes: Is something wrong?
Shu Lingyue blinked: "Get in my car! I have something I want to tell you!"
Chen Yun was taken aback at first, then remembered that he had promised Shu Lingyue that he would do something for her.
Could it be that Shu Lingyue has already figured out what she wants him to do?
With that in mind, Chen Yun had no choice but to change his mind and get into Shu Lingyue's car, sitting in the passenger seat.
Inside the Audi next to it.
Lai Fu exchanged a glance with Lin Le and the madman.
They're not stupid.
They had long realized that Miss Shu secretly liked Chen Yun, so they pretended not to know anything and drove away first.
Inside the BMW.
Chen Yun, sitting in the passenger seat, frowned slightly and said, "Speak! What is it?"
Shu Lingyue smiled slyly and said, "Chen Yun, do you remember you promised me that you would do something for me?"
Chen Yun said, "I remember, I can do one thing for you, but it can't violate morality or the law, and it can't betray Tang Yin..."
Shu Lingyue huffed, "It's enough that you remember. Why go into so much detail? It's like you're reminding me of something!"
Chen Yun thought to himself, "You know I was just reminding you not to make unreasonable demands, right?"
He said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Shu Lingyue looked at Chen Yun, who had a tense expression and looked like he had a deep grudge, which made her burst out laughing.
Chen Yun asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Shu Lingyue replied with a grin, "I haven't decided yet!"
What?
Still haven't decided?
Chen Yun was truly annoyed. His face darkened as he said, "Didn't you just ask me to ride in your car because you had something to say to me? I hadn't thought of what you wanted to say. Are you just playing me for fun?"
Shu Lingyue laughed even harder, her pretty face becoming even more lively and charming, and giggled, "I just wanted to remind you not to forget about this!"
Chen Yun was speechless!
After a long pause, he said with a dark face, "Boring! Let's drive!"
Shu Lingyue usually argues with Chen Yun, and almost every time she is left speechless by his retorts, she is furious with him.
Seeing Chen Yun thoroughly annoyed by her, she was secretly delighted and asked with a smile, "Okay, where do we go now? Home?"
Chen Yun said, "No, I need to go see the teacher!"
teacher?
Old Qin!
Shu Lingyue nodded and drove to Old Qin's residence.
Arrived at the Qin family's residence.
Led by Gao Ping, they met Old Qin in the study.
Old Qin is practicing calligraphy.
They saw Gao Ping bring Chen Yun and Shu Lingyue in.
He put down his brush, stood up to greet them personally, and said with a smile, "Chen Yun is here, and Miss Shu is here too."
Chen Yun greeted the teacher.
Shu Lingyue was no longer as playful as before, and instead obediently called out "Grandpa Qin".
Old Qin saw that although Chen Yun was as mature and reserved as usual, there was a hint of spiritedness in his narrow eyes!
A thought struck him, and he laughed heartily, "Hehe, Chen Yun, you came to see your teacher so late at night, there must be something on your mind. Let me guess, has the King already met with you and told you that your appointment has been decided?"
Chen Yun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head and smiled, "Nothing can be hidden from the teacher."
When Qin Lao learned that Chen Yun's appointment as Grand Commander was almost certain, he was extremely happy: "If I, your teacher, couldn't even guess this, then I would have wasted these past few decades."
"The teacher's wish is finally about to come true, and the teacher is so happy!"
"Come on, let's have a couple of drinks tonight!"
