Chapter 228 Quota
Since the end of the department's joint commission, Chen Chuan has not accepted any commissions for the time being, and has also temporarily turned down matters at the company. He is just strengthening his fighting training in the academy.
Another ten days passed, and it was the last day of November.
Because the commission remuneration had been paid earlier this month, he had made a phone call before. He will have lunch with the team members at the Duyi Hotel at noon today and divide the money by the way. It is almost the end of the year and this matter cannot be delayed.
Just before he was about to go out, he received a call from Director Lei.
"Hernand and I have already set the date for our wedding. It will be on the 15th of next month. We will only be hosting a few close relatives and friends. The invitation will be sent to classmate Chen today. You must come then."
Chen Chuan knew that with someone like Director Lei, there would always be cultists watching him in secret, so even though the Esoteric Cult Investigation Bureau was a violent agency, it usually had almost no presence in government agencies.
For the safety of his family and friends, his wedding is destined not to be a grand one, and it is impossible for him to gather his subordinates together. He can only choose to keep a low profile.
He said: "Congratulations to Director Lei, I will definitely be there."
Director Lei said, "Xiao Ying is in good health now. I told him about you, and he kept saying he wanted to meet you and wanted to thank you, big brother."
Chen Chuan thought about the young man and felt that he was lucky to have survived the cult.
Director Lei added, "A senior from the Central City Inspection Bureau will be here this time. I'd like to introduce him to you. It might be helpful to you in the future."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "Thank you, Director Lei."
"You're welcome. Compared to the help you gave Xiaoying, this is nothing."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Director Lei, after the last commission was completed, I have been wanting to ask you something."
Director Lei said, "You're asking about the whereabouts of the person behind the ceremony. We tracked the hot air balloon after it landed, but we couldn't find the person. I later speculated that the real mastermind was probably hiding on the train at the time."
"On the train..."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't the man we arrested on the train confess anything?"
Director Lei said: "He is just a member of the esoteric cult who is responsible for cooperating. According to his confession, he was only hired. We confirm that he is telling the truth, but there is nothing to worry about. After the ritual is launched, even if you don't take the initiative to do anything, the patterns and materials will disappear after a period of time.
Without the material and human resources, it would be impossible for him to arrange such a large ceremony. Our Inspection Bureau can handle smaller ceremonies."
Chen Chuan nodded. Although esoteric rituals can achieve many mysterious effects, in most cases, a lot of time needs to be spent on preliminary preparations.
That person was able to do that because he had received help from the Molan Company before. Without the support of such a force, it would be almost impossible to repeat what happened before.
After chatting for a few more words, they hung up the phone.
Chen Chuan could feel that Director Lei had been guiding him in the direction of Esoteric Buddhism, and the reason for introducing the seniors from the Esoteric Buddhism Bureau this time might also be for this reason.
However, although he is interested in things of a mysterious nature, only fighting skills can truly strengthen himself. Since he has chosen this path, he will stick to it and will not deviate from anything else.
He packed up and tidied up his clothes, then pushed the door open and walked out. When he reached the dormitory building, he rode his bicycle towards the Duyi Hotel.
Because the company meetings had ended and the resistance organization was almost wiped out, the city center was safe. After he arrived, team members also arrived one after another.
As usual, money is distributed before the meal begins.
Everyone is very happy to receive a large and generous reward before the end of the year and to have their personal evaluation improved.
Wei Changan stood up with his cup in hand and said sincerely, "Xiaodi Chen, thanks to these commissions you've given me, Brother Wei, I'm now a senior client. From now on, I won't have to rely on the company anymore. I want to toast you."
Chen Chuan picked up his glass, clinked it with his, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Wei."
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate.
Senior clients have high personal evaluations, receive higher compensation, and have easier access to government departments and even major companies. Some senior clients, due to long-term employment within certain departments, have implicitly acquired a certain amount of power, and their status and position are completely different from before.
It is indeed something worth celebrating that Wei Changan can get it at this age.
Wei Changan clinked glasses with everyone before sitting down. Cai Si, who was standing beside him, said, "Have you all listened to the radio these past few days? They've been constantly reporting on how the new Civil Affairs Minister wiped out the resistance organization after taking office. Unfortunately, even though we did it, we can't talk about it."
This time, the broadcast did not mention the names of Chen Chuan and his team members at all. Several departments had informed them about this matter in advance, saying that the focus of this matter was to allow citizens to regain their trust in the current official agencies, so they were not mentioned and were just given a little more remuneration.
Feng Xiaoqi muttered, "Wouldn't it be better to get a bigger share of the remuneration? Compared to the reputation, I'd rather take a little more money."
Chen Chuanze said: "Even if they didn't say this, I would still ask for this, because the resistance organization will not disappear just by eliminating these people. They will use any means and have no scruples in doing anything.
For your safety, we must minimize our exposure. Furthermore, as far as I know, an important figure has disappeared and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
Ding Liao interjected in agreement, "That's right. As long as the world remains like this, resistance groups will definitely exist. We've just put out the fire above, but the sparks below are still there. Who knows when they'll start again. We'd better be careful."
Luo Kaiyuan then said: "Some of them may have been forced."
Feng Xiaoqi said, "Anyway, I don't like them. There was an explosion just a few dozen meters away from our shop. I knew a neighbor who made grasshoppers to entertain children, and he buried them there."
Wei Changan raised his glass again and said with a smile, "Anyway, most of the resistance organizations have been wiped out, and the Molan Company has collapsed. It's worth celebrating. Come, let's have another drink together."
Everyone raised their cups.
Just as they were having dinner, Cheng Zitong came out of the principal's office. He looked at the list in his hand, his face full of excitement.
He quickly returned to his office and immediately called Chen Chuan, but no one answered the call. He then remembered that the student might have gone out for dinner today.
He put down the phone, thought for a moment, said "Hey", took out the copy of the list, stuffed it into his briefcase, then went downstairs and drove directly to the lakeside villa.
After getting out of the car, he took off his decorative sunglasses, stood in front of the gate for a while, and strode in.
"Old Qian, is my senior brother here?"
"Yes," the doorman replied.
"Is it time to teach the disciple? Fine, I'll go find him myself."
Cheng Zitong walked into the yard and glanced over. The student was practicing boxing in the waterside pavilion, while Qiao Linhu was drinking tea in the living room, looking outside from time to time, with satisfaction in his eyes.
He walked over with a thud, took out the list from his briefcase, and slapped it in front of Qiao Linhu.
Qiao Linhu was startled, looked up at him in surprise, then frowned at the list, "What is this?"
"What is this? An admissions spot to the Central City Main Hospital!"
Cheng Zitong clapped his hands on the list several times and said, "This is my student. I'm his instructor. Brother, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Qiao Linhu was silent for a moment. After seeing Chen Chuan overturn the mutual aid association, he felt something was wrong. He said slowly, "We must be modest and cautious in everything, and we must not be too eager for quick success..."
Cheng Zitong pulled out his briefcase again and slammed a piece of evidence onto the table. "This is the weapon permit my student passed the exam!"
"Students need to be tempered. Blindly praising them will only make them lose their self-control..."
With a "bang", Cheng Zitong slammed another certificate on the table, "This is my student's armor certificate!"
"...Even if there is a little bit of achievement..."
With a snap, Cheng Zitong snapped another certificate and pointed at it, saying, "This is my student's unlimited defense certificate, Certificate B!"
Qiao Linhu's voice suddenly stopped, and he sat there in silence, scratching his beard, because no matter how much he said, it could not compare to this unlimited defense certificate.
Dashun is very strict in this regard, otherwise so many recommended students would not have taken the C certificate first and then tried every means to take the B certificate. This is a recognition from the national level. Any verbal excuses are pale and powerless in the face of this thing, and are all nonsense.
Cheng Zitong's eyes turned slightly red as he said, "My student doesn't need to follow any old bullshit rules, nor does he need others to use old rules to restrain him. He doesn't need to follow the path arranged by others. He can rely on himself and forge his own path!"
His voice instantly drowned out the entire courtyard; even the attendants in front of him and the student who was practicing boxing could hear it clearly. However, the surroundings were completely silent, as if the chirping of insects and birds had momentarily disappeared.
"The old man said that only his path is the right path, but that doesn't mean everyone has to take it. His words are not the golden rule. I said that once I get out, I can walk back on my own. Now my students are going back for me. The old man has taught so many students over the years, just pick any one and give it to me..."
Cheng Zitong slammed the table with all his might. "Put them here, put them in the place of my students. Which one of them can pat their chest and say that they can do what my students have done, achieve the results my students have achieved? Which one, which one? Stand up and let me see!"
Qiao Linhu listened to him for a long time, then slowly said, "Junior brother, don't forget that my students can also go to Central City. It's not just your students who can go there!"
"So we have to wait two years, right?"
"……yes."
"My student..."
“That’s enough!”
Qiao Linhu snorted. He didn't want to listen any further. He just wanted to hear Cheng Zitong bragging and praising him. The more he talked, the more annoyed he became.
He slammed the table, stood up, and said, "Junior brother, let me tell you, the old way has guides, seniors looking after you, fellow disciples helping you, and students supporting you. But have you ever thought about how far you, as a student, can go if you don't have any of these?"
Cheng Zitong, however, was not worried at all. He looked at Qiao Linhu for a while, smiled, put on his decorative sunglasses, and walked out, saying as he walked, "He's my student. I have confidence in him. Oh, by the way..."
He turned around and said, "Senior brother, I just like to see you being stubborn. Keep it up, let's go..." With that, he waved his hand and walked out with a swagger.
At the waterside pavilion, the student was practicing boxing. When the two people were talking, he couldn't help but prick up his ears. But as he listened, he suddenly found Qiao Linhu standing in front of him with an expressionless face, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"If you can't even practice a single posture correctly, it means you haven't mastered it yet. Practice it a hundred more times."
"Yes, Master." The student groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time and continued to practice honestly.
Qiao Linhu was watching from the side, but he felt suffocated in his heart. He remembered that Cheng Zitong had come here every day to praise his apprentice and asked why his personality had changed. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
I was careless.
He looked at the apprentice in front of him. He used to like him no matter how he looked at him, but now he seemed to have shortcomings no matter how he looked at him.
You have to practice, you have to keep practicing!
Cheng Zitong walked outside and let out a long breath. He felt that the weather was really good today. It was so refreshing and comfortable.
He looked back and said to the inside of the door, "Lao Qian, tell my senior brother that I will come again tomorrow and ask him to leave an extra bowl of rice for me." After saying that, he got into the car leisurely and drove away in a moment.
