Chapter 97 (1)
"Master Rong, Master Xie, nice to meet you." The middle-aged man who was looking at the calligraphy written by Minister Wei on the wall with his hands behind his back heard the noise at the door, slowly turned around and said with a smile.
He was wearing a simple and well-fitting suit, with his graying hair neatly combed back. He looked very familiar. Even if you asked a random Chinese person on the street, they would be able to tell you his name accurately.
Compared to his majestic and tough appearance on TV, the middle-aged man now had a kind smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and gently made a "please" gesture. He then said to Wei Yixing who was waiting on the side: "Minister Wei, please go and make a pot of tea."
Wei Yixing responded cautiously with an "OK", then glanced at Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing before he stood up and pushed the door open to go out.
Several other leaders who participated in the meeting also turned around, and their complex gazes swept lightly over Rong Jing, and then stayed on Xie Xuanqing for a moment.
General Lin, who had had contact with Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing before, was also sitting on the sofa. When he saw them, he nodded slightly, but his face still had a firm and serious look.
Xie Xuanqing met their gazes and smiled politely, saying calmly, "I've met several leaders."
Rong Jing also glanced at everyone's faces, and finally looked at the face of the big leader who was standing in front of the office wall and spoke to them first, and said lightly: "Hello."
That leader truly deserves to be the one who has led China to its current status. The causal power contained in his body is extremely enormous. The cloud-like dragon energy hovering around him is one of the manifestations of China's national strength today.
Although the dragon energy of the other leaders was weaker, the power of cause and effect was no less.
Every decision made by the people present here is enough to affect tens of millions of people.
Before deciding to meet with Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing, these leaders were somewhat nervous.
Directly notifying Xie Xuanqing in this way could certainly test Xie Xuanqing's thoughts, but it might also alert the enemy.
The other party was only thirty years old but he was able to develop the Xie Group to its current status. His mind, his strategy, and even his methods were all top-notch.
If the other party really wants to overthrow China's current political system, then their action of directly meeting with the other party today is simply giving the other party a great opportunity.
The special department had contact with Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing. Even the earliest cooperation between Xie and the state was facilitated by the special department.
However, even so, Wei Yixing's intention was to persuade these leaders not to take risks.
In other words, don't take such a big risk.
At least the top leader should not be here.
But in the end, their opinions were suppressed by the leader.
"It's not like Patriarch Xie hasn't cooperated with the country before. If he dares to agree to this meeting, then we can afford the gamble." The leader said at the emergency meeting, "Besides, since the other party is willing to meet us, it means they are sincere. Under such circumstances, it would be hard for me to convince them if I don't go."
Apart from the fact that the country really needs a top-level Taoist priest who can shock the domestic metaphysical community, the leader still has many things to say directly.
The existence of the Xie Group is really too important.
It has been almost completely integrated into the daily life of the Chinese people. Once something happens to Xie Xuanqing, the turmoil caused will be enough to affect the entire Chinese economy.
Now, with the growing rise of China, foreign countries have begun to feel a sense of crisis and are always keeping a close eye on China in order to find a flaw and then break it from within.
Once something happens to the Xie family, China's economy will be affected, and there is no guarantee that foreign countries will not take the opportunity to impose sanctions on China.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, they should discuss with each other first on how to deal with Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing.
But this is thinking on the bright side. On the negative side, for example, Xie Xuanqing did have other thoughts and came here with other cards, then...
The leader's mind raced, but his expression remained calm.
After smiling and exchanging pleasantries with Xie Xuan, the office door opened again.
The leader and Xie Xuanqing looked up together, and saw Wei Yixing holding a few cups of tea and gently placing them on the table.
The big boss picked up two of the cups and personally passed them to Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing, then he also picked up one of the cups and said half-jokingly: "I am really a little embarrassed to have you two come here this time. It's just that this kind of occasion is not suitable for drinking, so I can only use tea instead of wine. I apologize to you two."
Rong Jing raised his eyes and glanced at him. When his eyes touched the causal power and merits entangled in him, his expression was still indifferent, but he raised the teacup very politely and exchanged greetings with him: "You are too polite, leader."
His attitude could not really be described as enthusiastic, but the leaders present had all read the report submitted by the special department before, and had also heard about the deeds of Master Rong Tian from General Lin and Wei Yixing, so they naturally had some understanding of his character.
Seeing his performance at this time, the leaders felt relieved and couldn't help but sigh that the other party's aura was truly mysterious. Even though they had never personally seen the other party's methods of attack, they could still feel it from his attitude and temperament.
Xie Xuanqing's reaction also surprised them.
Given the other party's intelligence, when Zhou Songyun sent the request for a meeting, the other party could not have thought of the meaning behind it. But from the moment the other party entered the door until now, Xie Xuanqing had been extremely calm and even polite.
At this time, the leader half-jokingly offered a cup of tea. Although Xie Xuanqing did not completely refuse, he also picked up the teacup in return and smiled at him, "There is nothing to be sorry about. The fact that several leaders can come here in person also shows that they value my husband."
He did not mention himself actively, but vaguely revealed an attitude that he put Rong Jing first.
Some of the leaders present recalled that when they entered the room just now, Xie Xuanqing seemed to have walked directly to the front position -
When entering an unknown and potentially dangerous place, his first reaction was not to hide behind to protect himself, but to use himself as a layer of protection and stood in front of Rong Jing without hesitation.
The leader's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, and he observed the interaction between Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing with the same expression as before.
As friends, the distance between the two of them...seems a little close.
As if she had noticed his gaze, Xie Xuan slowly turned her head and looked at him, then smiled and gently raised the teacup in her hand to him.
The leader responded subconsciously.
Everyone took a few sips of the tea that cleared the throat and moistened the lungs, and the faint atmosphere of tension in the office finally subsided a little.
Putting down the cup, the leading leader finally spoke, bringing the topic to the issues that both parties were concerned about during this meeting.
"I heard from Minister Wei that Master Rong Tian plans to establish a sect? I wonder if I could ask, what was Master Rong Tian's original intention in establishing a sect?"
This is a very gentle beginning.
Even if we just look at the literal meaning, the country is not actually very opposed to Rong Jing's request to establish a sect.
However, Xie Xuanqing's identity is quite sensitive, and Rong Jing's past actions are really hard to ignore, so that the leaders are now having trouble handling this application.
Now that the big boss has chosen to start with Rong Jing’s original intention of establishing a sect, this may not be an excellent entry point.
After he asked this question, the other leaders, including General Lin and Wei Yixing, also looked at Rong Jing.
Given the scale of today's talks, Wei Yixing is actually unlikely to be able to participate.
But on the other hand, he had contact with both Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing. If the negotiations went well, it would be the special department that would be in contact with Rong Jing, so he also participated in the negotiations.
Wei Yixing also knew that this meeting was extremely important to the special department and even the entire government and the entire China. In his heart, he actually had a very appreciative attitude towards Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing, but this appreciation and respect seemed somewhat insignificant in the face of the interests of the entire China.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became serious again, and everyone was silently waiting for Rong Jing's answer.
Xie Xuan held the teacup lightly in his hand and looked at Rong Jing, his eyes deep and gentle, as if he was silently supporting him.
"It's just for the last wish of our master." After a while, Rong Jing finally spoke.
From Xie Xuanqing, Rong Jing learned that his master and even his sect had tried their best to work for his resurrection.
Even at the last second of his life, his master was still thinking about him, a disciple he was not close to...
Rather than saying that the sect was established to fulfill the master's last wish, it would be more accurate to say that it was to make up for the debt that Rong Jing felt in his heart.
Although those people are gone, he wants to rebuild a place similar to the sect where he once worked, and wants more people to remember their existence.
It is often said that man proposes, God disposes, but there is also a saying that man can conquer nature.
When there is only one person, the power he can contribute is very little, but when more and more people remember them, with the blessing of countless thoughts, his master and his fellow disciples may also be able to have an excellent next life.
His expression was still calm, but when he mentioned the word "master", his eyebrows seemed to dim for a moment, which made people feel a little sad.
"Although I feel a little embarrassed, may I ask who is Master Rong Tian's master..." The leader vaguely guessed something from his words, suppressed the churning thoughts in his mind, and continued to ask softly.
"Didn't you guess it?" Rong Jing raised his eyes slightly and said, "Tianyuan Sect."
——Tianyuan Sect!
It turned out to be the Tianyuan Sect, it was indeed the Tianyuan Sect!
The leaders present couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard Rong Jing say the three words "Tianyuan Sect".
Ordinary people might not care too much, but since they had some doubts about Rong Jing's identity, they naturally investigated carefully based on those doubts.
The National Master Rong Jingrong, who changed the dragon veins, overthrew the old dynasty, and was finally annihilated by heaven's punishment but whose name has been passed down through the ages, came from this seemingly unknown Tianyuan Sect!
And Rong Jing's answer at this time was tantamount to directly admitting his identity!
He was none other than the National Master Rong from that year. And who could be Xie Xuanqing, who had a very close friendship with him, even to the point of exceeding the distance that should exist between friends?
After realizing this, the leading leader glanced at Xie Xuanqing calmly, but saw that the other party's expression was still calm, as if he was not surprised at all, and his heart sank suddenly.
Xie Xuanqing...it is very possible that he has also awakened his memories of the past, or maybe he is Emperor Zhao himself.
The smile on his face slowly faded, and the kind face of the big leader finally revealed the same solemn and dignified look as when he appeared on TV: "It is indeed you... Master Rong."
He directly changed the way he addressed Rong Jing, and there was a hint of heaviness in his low tone.
He wanted to ask the other party why he appeared in this era, but he didn't know whether this question would touch upon something that they would find difficult to accept.
Contrary to their serious and even somewhat heavy mood, Rong Jing did not care about it at all. He just said "hmm" softly, and then said: "I came here after I woke up from the thunder tribulation. My cultivation level has also dropped a lot because of resisting the heavenly punishment. Leaders don't have to worry."
Of course, what he said was not true, but China today had lost a lot of its metaphysical heritage in the previous two dynasties, so it was difficult to judge the truth of his words. However, after carefully looking at his expression, the leaders present were inclined to believe it in their hearts.
...Whether it is Master Rong recorded in history books, or Master Rong Tian who had previously worked with the special department, they are both extremely lonely and aloof. Such people probably would not bother to lie, right?
I felt a little relieved. When the leader spoke, his tone was still sincere: "Master Rong's words are a bit touching. We have no reason to worry about a Heavenly Master like Master Rong who cares about the people."
This is not a lie. If it was just Rong Jing alone, the leaders would not be so serious.
However, he is also accompanied by Xie Xuanqing, whose background is unknown and who is very likely the reincarnation of Emperor Zhao. Based on what Rong Jing did back then, which was to change the dragon veins and push Xie to the throne because the old dynasty was incompetent, it is hard to say whether they will do the same in this life.
This is what the leaders are worried about.
Rong Jing could naturally sense the sincerity in the leader's words. His expression moved slightly, but he did not say anything else.
When the big boss saw this, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart sank again.
He raised his head and looked at Xie Xuanqing, but asked meaningfully: "What does Patriarch Xie think?"
Master Rong was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the people of the world. After coming to this era, he also saved countless Chinese people who were harmed by the life-changing array.
He is naturally an excellent heavenly master, and the country will naturally not treat him unfairly, and will even respect him.
But all this needs to be based on the premise that he will not change the dragon vein again because of Xie Xuanqing.
The leader's words were clearly asking Xie Xuanqing whether he thought Rong Jing was an excellent Taoist priest and that the country would never treat him unfairly. But in fact, he was testing Xie Xuanqing's attitude and wanted to see what he thought about this country...
Is he still unable to forget the glory of being a founding emperor, above all others, or is he willing to be a businessman in the new era of China, who has close ties with the country but can never regain control of it?
After the big boss asked this question, the leaders present, including Wei Yixing, all subconsciously looked towards Xie Xuanqing.
There was a tense and heavy atmosphere in the small and simple office.
Xie Xuanqing had not spoken much before, but his aura was there, and people dared not ignore him even in silence.
At this moment, he was sitting next to Rong Jing, holding the cup of tea that he had only drunk less than half of. Facing the gazes of those who were almost the highest leaders of China, his attitude remained calm.
"I think so too." After an unknown amount of time, several leaders finally heard Xie Xuanqing's low voice, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can only let the national teacher's heart for the people of the world rest in peace."
This was a subtle answer to the leader's concerns, indirectly showing that he had no intention of interfering in China's political power.
After hearing his answer, the heavy expressions of the leaders present finally relaxed a little.
"but--"
Just when the leaders were relieved, Xie Xuanqing smiled and said, "No matter how much you care about the people, it is not very reasonable to expect others to make sacrifices, right? What do you think?"
Even when doing charity, there is no such thing as doing it without expecting anything in return.
Rong Jing almost damaged the foundation of his cultivation because of the Lan family's affairs, but the country was hesitant about Rong Jing's request to establish a sect because of his identity. Although there was nothing wrong with it in terms of justice, Xie Xuanqing was still a little unhappy just from a moral point of view.
The moment he opened his mouth, the leaders present all tensed up. Then, when they heard his next question, they finally understood what Xie Xuanqing wanted to ask for this time.
Is he actually... being unfair to Rong Jing?
Indeed, when Rong Jing acted on behalf of special departments several times before, the state also issued bonuses according to convention.
However, due to anti-corruption regulations, the maximum bonus allocated by the finance department is only one million.
Most of these prizes serve as a reward and an implicit statement of the winner's national importance.
But with Rong Jing's strength, he actually doesn't need such things anymore. What's more, he almost took on 80% of the attacks on the Lan family this time. After being injured for this, he still had to exchange the lives of those victims.
Even if the leaders are not experts in the field of metaphysics, they know that these tasks would be difficult to resolve if other heavenly masters were to take action.
They had asked Rong Jing for help many times before, and the other party had indeed agreed for the sake of the people's face.
As time went by, they overlooked the fact that Rong Jing was now living in China and had not joined any special department. Strictly speaking, he was also one of the tens of millions of people in China who needed protection.
Even though they had offered a lot of benefits before, it was because Rong Jing signed an agreement to teach the Taoist priests in a special department, rather than as a reward for Rong Jing.
Thinking of this, the leaders present took a deep breath and apologized decisively: "Master Xie is right. The country has overlooked this point before, but this will never happen again. In fact, this time we came here to prepare some precious medicinal materials that Master Rong may need recently."
"Of course, if Master Rong needs anything else, you can just ask for it."
As for the establishment of a sect, the country was inclined to allow it from the beginning, but they kept delaying the matter because they were worried about Xie Xuanqing's identity.
At this time, Xie Xuanqing directly laid out his thoughts, indicating that he had no intention of interfering with the Chinese political power. Naturally, there was no need to stop Rong Jing from establishing a sect.
However, you still need to be cautious in operation.
The leader glanced at Xie Xuanqing inconspicuously, and finally said: "In fact, the country has considered establishing a Tianshi organization based on the government before, and the special department was born out of this idea. But in the previous two dynasties... because of some prohibitions on the spread of metaphysics, the metaphysics that can be passed down now is in the hands of aristocratic families, so this idea of the country has not been realized."
"Of course, I don't mean to ask Master Rong to hand over the management of the sect to the state." The big leader changed the subject and said, "It's just that Master Rong's original intention of establishing the sect was to fulfill his master's last wish, so there shouldn't be too many restrictions on the selection of disciples, right?"
He asked tentatively: "So I was wondering, after the establishment of Rong Guoshi's sect, can we allocate some quotas to the country?"
really.
Rong Jing listened quietly to the big leader's question, and this thought flashed through his mind.
Sure enough, it was extremely similar to the conditions that Xie Xuanqing had guessed would be proposed by the country.
Should we say that he is worthy of being an emperor in his previous life? He has guessed the thoughts of the superior thoroughly.
In this "discussion" - or "negotiation", Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing did not speak very often, but in fact, every time they spoke, the leaders' thoughts followed their lead.
However, these leaders were able to sit in their current positions, so their minds were naturally extraordinary. After asking Rong Jing about the quotas, they reacted.
This is really...
However, the reason why they were led away by the other party was because they were either worried about Xie Xuanqing's thoughts or they were indeed not right about the things mentioned by the other party, so they were unable to deal with it for the time being.
Even now, they realized what Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing were planning, but they still couldn't bring themselves to take over the sect's management rights.
If they really say such things, who are they? !
The attitudes of these senior leaders can be described as sincere. Rong Jing lowered his eyes, as if he had considered it carefully, and then said, "Okay."
The leader was delighted, and then asked tentatively: "I wonder how many disciples Master Rong Tian will recruit when he establishes a sect?"
Rong Jing glanced at him, but replied calmly: "No more than thirty."
Thirty... this number seems a little too little.
However, these leaders took into consideration Xie Xuanqing's identity and the magic skills that Rong Jing possessed, and felt that this number was just right.
After all...even if Xie Xuanqing has no other intentions at this moment, what if?
If Rong Jing can train enough celestial masters with profound cultivation and superb skills in the future, there is no guarantee that Xie Xuanqing will not change his mind.
Therefore, before being completely sure that Xie Xuanqing really had no ideas about the Chinese regime, the leaders decided to determine the number of places to be competed for according to the number mentioned by Rong Jing.
"Then I wonder if Master Rong Tian is willing to exchange half of the quota with us?"
The leader explained: "The price of the exchange can be proposed by you, Master Rong Tian. As long as it does not violate national regulations and does not harm national interests, the state will try its best to meet it."
There are thirty places, and half of them is fifteen.
For the entire Chinese nation, fifteen Heavenly Masters are obviously not enough.
But Rong Jing was not content with just teaching thirty disciples. If the sect wanted to pass on its teachings, it would have to recruit new disciples after the first generation of disciples grew up.
The ratio of quota allocation will be agreed upon now. In the future, the country will be able to obtain corresponding quotas based on the number of disciples Rong Jing recruits, and send talents in to receive inheritance.
Over time, we will naturally be able to obtain a team of heavenly masters that are strong enough and loyal enough and belong to the country alone.
However, doing so would also lead to another problem, that is, these trained Heavenly Masters would naturally have a close attitude towards Rong Jing and even Xie Xuanqing, but on the other hand, it would also closely link the country with Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing.
At the very least, from an outsider's perspective, Tianyuan Sect's attitude towards the country must be friendly and close.
"Half the quota is not enough." Before Rong Jing could speak, Xie Xuan directly rejected the leader's proposal.
The big boss didn't think he could get half of the quota at first, but when he saw Xie Xuanqing speaking up for Rong Jing so naturally, he couldn't help but glance at him.
Xie Xuanqing seemed not to notice the deep thought in his eyes. His brows were stern, but he directly took out the momentum he usually used when negotiating contracts in the business world and said directly: "A quarter is fine."
One quarter, that means there are only six or seven places, right?
With Xie Xuanqing's attitude, he would most likely just take six. No, no, that would be too few.
One person raises the price on the spot, and the other person pays back on the spot.
Rong Jing silently watched Xie Xuanqing and the big boss smile at each other and reject each other's requests, then calmly took a sip of tea.
But he didn't say anything. Others saw that he was cold and aloof, unlike Xie Xuanqing who was tough. They took advantage of the bargaining between Xie Xuanqing and the big boss to get close to Rong Jing and say, "China's mystical arts are really cut off too much. When we meet with other countries in the past, we are always stabbed by the other side... Alas."
Rong Jing: “…”
These leaders have done even the most shameless things in their fight for China's interests.
At this moment, they were just trying to show off their pity in front of Master Rong. As long as they could get a few more disciple spots, they wouldn't mind.
The leader was quite old, and he was acting pitiful at this moment, with his gray eyebrows drooping, which was really heartbreaking to watch.
General Lin also came over. He didn't play the victim, but his resolute face was tense as he said, "Master Rong, you promised me before that you would reserve a few places for our military."
Naturally, these places for the military are not free, but after all, it is a promise made by Rong Jing himself, and General Lin does not mind paying some price to make Rong Jing fulfill this promise.
Rong Jing: “…”
Seeing this, the other leaders sitting nearby looked at each other and immediately joined the battle.
As if in the blink of an eye, the originally solemn office suddenly burst into a burst of noise——
It mainly refers to the leaders who surrounded Rong Jing and wanted to soften his attitude, and also refers to the bargaining between Xie Xuanqing and the big leader without any hesitation.
Wei Yixing watched this scene, was silent for a while, and then resolutely joined in.
"Our special department is responsible for handling metaphysical events in China. We are seriously short of manpower and need some places to train new Heavenly Masters."
Rong Jing: “…”
They all had their own reasons, but Rong Jing listened to them quietly, and his attitude remained firm and did not relax at all.
Until the end, the big leader and Xie Xuanqing finally reached a consensus. After the quota was set at one-third, Rong Jing said, "There are still five quotas. Three will be handed over to the military and two will be handed over to special departments."
In fact, after the heavenly masters are trained, those places that the country has fought for will also be placed in special departments. It is more like doing a favor to Wei Yixing than saying that two places were allocated to the special department.
As for the three places obtained by the military, the people finally selected and sent to Rong Jing must be General Lin’s direct descendants, but General Lin and the country are inseparable. Although the heavenly master trained in the end will be closer to the Lin family, in the greater good, the national interests must be given priority.
This kind of arrangement... no one can say anything wrong about it.
Even the senior leader present developed some favorable impression towards Rong Jing after hearing what he said.
Then he realized that Rong Jing could have given them half of the places at the beginning. Although they would be grateful for the places given in this way, they would not be like now, where everyone is very satisfied with it and even can't help but respect him.
Xie Xuanqing, who had bargained with him before, did not look surprised or dissatisfied when he heard Rong Jing's decision. It was obvious that he had known about this arrangement for a long time.
No, the big leader narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, he may have known about this arrangement a long time ago. It is more likely that this arrangement... was originally proposed by him.
Should we say that he is worthy of being Emperor Zhao, as he could guess people's hearts to this extent.
And most importantly, even if the big boss now understood the other party's plan, he had to admit that he did owe Rong Jing a favor and was grateful that Rong Jing was willing to give up five more places.
With a sigh and a laugh, the leader said, "Thank you so much for your generosity, Master Rong."
"Yeah." Rong Jing raised his eyes slightly and said lightly, "Just call me Rong Jing."
The big boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Rong Jing... Master Rong Tian."
For a moment, he was not used to calling Rong Jing by his name. After thinking about it, he changed to a more compromised name.
Rong Jing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything else.
The matter of establishing a sect has been approved.
At this point, the leaders present no longer hesitated and directly stated their suggestions.
The sect is naturally still called Tianyuan Sect, and the country will not interfere in this.
But the location of the sect... The country is willing to provide everything needed to build a sect, but the location of the new Tianyuan Sect must be in Beijing.
This is not only to better allow people from the country to accept the sect's inheritance, but also to better restrain the actions of Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing.
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Since they have come to this position carrying the hopes of the Chinese people, they must also consider China wholeheartedly.
They would not easily interfere with the internal management of Tianyuan Sect, but they would not lower their vigilance and completely allow Rong Jing and Xie Xuanqing to be out of their supervision.
During the bargaining process, the big leader still had a smile on his face, but when he mentioned the location of the sect, his expression became extremely serious, even tough.
He and the country will not give in on this issue.
Rong Jing raised his eyes and met his gaze, and saw the determination in his eyes.
After a pause of one second, Rong Jing said calmly: "Okay."
In fact, the location where Rong Jing wanted to establish the sect from the beginning was in Jing City.
After all, the place where the Tianyuan Sect used to hide from the world was outside the suburbs of Beijing.
The leader's expression relaxed when he heard this, and finally he showed a kind smile: "Then... Master Rong Tian, happy cooperation."
He extended his hand to Rong Jing, Rong Jing lowered his eyes to take a look, then extended his hand and shook it gently with him: "Happy cooperation."
The cost of the quota cannot be calculated so quickly, but since the country’s top leader has spoken personally, the subordinates naturally dare not go back on their word after the cooperation is reached.
As an institution in China that specifically handles matters in this area, the special department now has an additional responsibility. When the sect is established in the later stage, it will maintain a certain contact with Rong Jing.
After arranging everything, the big boss seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, there is one more thing."
He looked at Rong Jing apologetically and said, "The country has actually been considering this matter for a long time. Now that we have finally reached a cooperation with Master Rong Tian, I am shamelessly asking Master Rong Tian as an 'ally'... I wonder if Master Rong Tian is willing to join the special department and serve as the deputy director?"
Although he is called the deputy minister, he is actually just a mascot or a trump card to support the special department.
After all, China has lost a lot of metaphysical inheritance. Whether it is to deter the Tianshi families who are ready to make moves in the country, or to deter foreign metaphysical people who are lurking in China, the special department needs to have a character like Rong Jing who has profound cultivation and exquisite skills.
However, the benefits of the deputy minister do not seem to be worthy of Rong Jing, but if the position is too high, it will easily make Wei Yixing dissatisfied.
After considering it, the top leader decided to give him a nominal position of deputy minister, but the benefits were the same as those of a state-level position.
As for Xie Xuanqing...
Just by looking at the right to speak he held during the discussion just now, one could tell how important the other party was to Rong Jing. There was nothing wrong in giving a person like Rong Jing a nominal position as deputy director of a special department, but for a shrewd person like Xie Xuanqing, the big boss did not want him to get involved in the country.
So after considering it, he only briefly mentioned the next few policies that the government would implement. As for whether the other party could grasp it... that depended on Xie Xuanqing himself.
The other party's actions were obviously meant to guard against him, but Xie Xuanqing didn't care.
With a slight smile, Xie Xuanqing kept in mind the policy direction mentioned by the leader. He glanced sideways at Rong Jing, but frowned slightly, obviously somewhat displeased with the other party's vigilance against Xie Xuanqing.
Seeing this, Xie Xuanqing's smile deepened.
Seeing that his husband cared about him so much, he didn't have to mind it anymore.
Rong Jing was only displeased for a moment before he understood what the big boss was thinking.
Everyone is suspicious, let alone those who have reached their position. No matter how sincere Xie Xuanqing and Rong Jing are, as long as Xie Xuanqing's Xie Group is still there and Rong Jing's cultivation remains, the country will not be able to relax its vigilance against them.
With a slight frown, Rong Jing drank the tea in the cup and finally agreed to the leader's request.
Seeing this, the leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect to sit for so long." He said, "Master Xie, Master Rong, if you don't mind, let's go have a meal together?"
What they discussed was complicated and concerned their respective interests. By the time the discussion ended, more than three hours, nearly four hours, had passed.
Xie Xuan glanced at Rong Jing and saw that he had no objection, so he smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, leader."
After leaving the office, General Lin waved his hand and the troops staying outside retreated.
The big boss smiled and said, "I hope you two don't mind."
He did not mention the previous cause, but Xie Xuanqing knew what he meant.
His eyes swept gently over the retreating troops, and Xie Xuan said lightly: "It won't hurt to be more cautious."
He and Rong Jing were not completely unprepared when they came here this time.
After smiling at each other, Wei Yixing asked Zhou Song
