Chapter 66 066 Just cross out the applicant's name with a stroke
!
Bai Wei left so decisively that the Secretary-General and Minister Xu were stunned for a long time.
Especially the Secretary-General.
Ren Qian still doesn't know that Ren Wanxuan didn't take the video.
The Secretary-General originally thought that Bai Wei would be able to compromise this time. Xiangcheng held the Book Association for the first time, which was of great significance. Anyone who understood the meaning behind it would not give up this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Bai Wei was tough and left as soon as he said he would.
The Secretary-General looked at Bai Wei's back, his eyes were hard to detect.
Being able to snatch the video recording from Ren Wanxuan and join the first batch of the Xiangcheng Book Association's launching ceremony, Bai Wei's position in the Secretary-General's heart is no longer that of the unimportant people in the Ji family.
Beside him, Minister Xu finally withdrew his gaze from the sky, as if nothing had happened. He personally handed a pen to the Secretary-General and said with a smile: "Please."
He did not feel anything about Bai Shi's departure. It was just a name he crossed out casually.
It was just one of the countless waves he suppressed with his own hands.
For Minister Xu, the Ren family and the Secretary-General are the most important at the moment.
He finally climbed to this point, so naturally he had to grasp the minds of the people above...
As for fairness?
There is no such thing as fairness in this world.

Ming Dongheng's car was parked not far away.
There were many people today, so he did not go in with Bai Shi and Jiang He, but parked the car on the next street. When he looked up, he saw Bai Shi appearing from the end of the street.
Bai Shi's coat today is the same color as the clothes inside, both close to sky blue.
It was not a dazzling blue, but a clear blue that appeared after the rain. It was pure and gentle, but it did not match Bai Shi's indifferent expression.
Although he did not know the reason, Ming Dongheng felt that Bai Shi seemed to be in a bad mood.
Ming Dongheng was stunned for a moment and got out of the car quickly.
He opened the door, "Miss Bai, why are you back now?"
Ming Dongheng did not know much about the Book Association, but he knew that Bai Shi was going to participate in the launching ceremony today.
Ming Dongheng had participated in this before, and most of them took a whole morning. Even if he left early, it would take two hours. Bai Shi came too quickly this time.
"It's okay," Bai Shi stood at the door of the car, with a lazy and cold spirit, and pointed to the back seat for Jiang He to get in first, "Let's go to the library."
Her schoolbag was in the car, so she didn't have to go back to Qingshui Street to get it.
Chenglou was still some distance away from the library.
To take bus No. 12, you have to go around the ring road, pass Qingshui Street, and then go to the library. Ming Dongheng took a shortcut from the middle ring road to send Bai Shi and Jiang He to the library.
Ming Dongheng sat in the car, looking at the backs of Bai Shi and Jiang He.
After thinking for a while, he reported to Jiang Fuli -
[Miss Bai is out.]
There were more people in the library on Saturdays than usual. When Bai Shi arrived, most of the people on the second floor were sitting. She and Jiang He found a seat and sat down at random.
As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw a message from Jiang Fuli.
Teacher Jiang: [Are you back?]
Student Bai: [Tired]
Nothing else to say.
Bai Fu scrolled down again, and Lance also sent her a message.
Lance: [Myopia is really possible]
Lance: [Oh my god, this is simply too unbelievable!]
Bai Fu: [. ]
Lance always ignored Bai Fu's silence: [I'm looking for you to arrange a time with your assistant!]
Bai Fu: [1]
During this period of time, the two of them had many medical exchanges. Bai Fu's mind was filled with thousands of years of uninterrupted traditional Chinese medicine, and many of the pharmacology mentioned by her amazed Lance.
The many surgery videos sent by Lance also made Bai Fu realize the horror of Western medicine.
Both of them have a kind of arrogance in their respective fields. Bai Shi’s resistance at the beginning turned into awe. She
even had some admiration for the person who could develop Western medicine to its current prosperity.
She thought so too.
Lance mentioned today what Bai Shi mentioned two days ago, that acupuncture can cure his myopia. Due to professional reasons, Lance cannot use lasers, and he plans to find a time for her to treat his myopia.
Bai Shi was very direct: [No medical qualification certificate]
Lance should have checked what a medical qualification certificate means, and he was a little slow in replying.
Lance: [? ]
Bai Shi didn’t read it again, and scrolled down again, and saw Jiang Jing’s brother who was participating in the competition with her.
Bai Shi: [Swiping the screen? ]
She just added a question mark, and Jiang Jing’s brother who was at the award ceremony was startled by the question mark, and didn’t dare to swipe a word next.
She went back one by one until she saw the information sent by Director Chen in the back. Bai Xi slowly sat up straight. It was a document.
After all, Director Chen was not a detective agency, so the information he could find was limited.
There was even less information about Yang Lin, only her address, family information, and some records at the police station.
Bai Xi read slowly from top to bottom.
There was no news about Yang Lin's mother. Director Chen specifically marked in the column for her mother that her mother was beaten away by her father when she was five years old.
And Yang Lin's father had multiple records of being detained, either for drunkenness or gambling. Bai Xi's fingertips slowly moved downwards and turned to a very old record in the middle -
Yang Lin called the police when she was nine years old.
Bai Xi showed this message to Director Chen: [[Picture]]
Director Chen replied quickly: [For this kind of case, if he is detained for a few days, he will become even more serious when he returns.]
Director Chen: [Since she is over 18 years old, I suggest that she should directly move out of her household registration and stay away from him.]
Bai Xi was silent for a long time: [1]
While Bai Xi took the books out of her schoolbag, she asked Director Chen about moving out of her household registration.

At the same time.
Ren Qian received Ji Mulan and Xu En at Ren's house.
Xu En came this time for the big head of the tourism industry. He is from Jiangjing and enjoys the dividends of Jiangjing, but he really has no idea about the power in Xiangcheng.
"I know what Mr. Xu means," Ren Qian never perfunctorily treats Xu En, "You should be talking about Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu?" Another surname that Xu En has never heard of.
He looked at Ji Mulan.
Ji Mulan hasn't been back to Xiangcheng for more than ten years, so she is even less clear.
Ren Qian put down the teacup and said sternly: "His main business is in Heishui Street, and the manager of Qinglong Bar is very familiar with him. Do you understand what I mean, Mr. Xu?"
Xiangcheng turned a blind eye to Heishui Street.
One reason is that the place is on the border and is not under their jurisdiction. The other reason is that the power there is complicated.
A bar with the most complete information in Asia. A
world-famous fighting arena.
An auction house that no one dares to mess with on the street.
Ren Qian can manage a city well. He has a list in his mind of who can be messed with and who can't be messed with.
"I know," Xu En frowned, "Qinglong Bar, do you have the contact information of Mr. Lu?"
He actually guessed it.
Since he can't do it alone, he also wants to cooperate with this Mr. Lu, especially since the other party has people from the Qinglong Bar behind him...
Xu En didn't expect that a small city like Xiangcheng could give him such a big surprise.
Beside him, Ji Mulan naturally hadn't heard of these.
But she didn't ask, she just glanced at Xu En, and Xu En patted the back of her hand.
"Mr. Xu," Ren Qian had to attend the launch ceremony today, "I'm still needed to go to the launch ceremony of the Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association, so I won't keep you here today."
Xu En stood up. He was surprised that Xiangcheng didn't even have a calligraphy association.
But when he thought about it, Xiangcheng's high-speed rail wasn't even open yet, so he felt that he could understand it.
She said goodbye to Ren Qian politely.
After leaving the house, Ji Mulan asked Xu En about the Qinglong Bar.
"Blackwater Street," Xu En took out the car key, opened the door, and tilted his head to explain to Ji Mulan, "The boundaries are complicated. The Qinglong Bar can gain a foothold there, and the power behind it is no smaller than those big families in Jiangjing. It's normal that you don't know."
Those big families in Jiangjing?
Ji Mulan sat in the co-pilot seat and was a little silent.

The launching ceremony of Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association is an important event.
Ren Qian wore a dark formal suit and called the Secretary-General to confirm: "Have you informed Mr. Chen?" "Mr.
Chen said he has to investigate a case," the Secretary-General was very respectful, "he doesn't have time."
Ren Qian was not surprised, but felt regretful.
Ren Wanxuan also wore a carefully designed dress today and came to the Xiangcheng Tower with Ren Qian.
It was already nine o'clock when the two arrived.
The director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau and Qiu Xuezhen were both standing at the door.
The Secretary-General and Minister Xu did not dare to neglect and stood at the door to accompany the two of them.
Ren Qian was stunned. Why were the two old men waiting for him outside the door? "Teacher Qiu, why are you two outside?"
Qiu Xuezheng was in high spirits. He specially wore a coat with dark red spiral patterns today. He smiled at Ren Qian and said, "Waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone?" Ren Qian and Ren Wanxuan looked at each other.
He thought Qiu Xuezheng was waiting for him, but he was waiting for someone else?
Qiu Xuezheng didn't say much, but occasionally looked down at the time.
Then he looked at the intersection.
The launching ceremony started on time at 9:30.
Nine ten.
Bai Wei hadn't arrived yet.
Because Bai Wei had a good impression of Qiu Xuezheng, he didn't think she was a latecomer, but when the launching ceremony was approaching, there was no sign of Bai Wei.
Qiu Xuezheng couldn't help but send a message to Bai Wei: [Where are you? ]
The other party didn't reply.
It was twenty past nine.
Qiu Xuezhen finally couldn't help it. He took out his cell phone and called Bai Di.
**
Library.
When Jiang Fuli arrived, Jiang He was the only one sitting in his seat, flipping through a book in a depressed mood.
He just stretched out his hand and knocked on Jiang He's desk slowly.
Jiang He looked up, a little expressionless: "Bathroom."
Jiang Fuli withdrew his hand. He always looked at people with a casual and cold look.
Bai Di went to the bathroom without taking her cell phone. The cell phone on the table lit up.
Jiang Fuli saw Teacher Qiu's phone number at a glance. He was the one who promoted the Xiangcheng Book Association. Jiang Fuli knew who Qiu Xuezhen was.
Bai Di didn't attend the book association that she was supposed to attend today...
Jiang Fuli glanced at the phone and hung up directly.
"Why are you here?" Bai Fuli had just come out after washing his hands. He was slowly wiping his fingers with a tissue and lowered his voice.
Jiang Fuli didn't say anything, but just glanced at Jiang He coldly.
Jiang He angrily made room for him.
Jiang Fuli sat down, put one hand lightly on the desk, and said calmly: "I was popular with the people in the institute."
Far away at the foot of the mountain in Xiangcheng.
CRFS Dark Matter Research Institute.
He Wen was observing particle collisions and using machines to search for decay products of strange atoms. Suddenly he sneezed and muttered: "Could it be that someone missed me..."
**
No one replied to the WeChat message and no one answered the phone.
Qiu Xuezhen frowned.
Nine twenty-five.
Minister Xu didn't dare to urge Qiu Xuezhen, and couldn't help but look at Ren Qian for help.
Ren Qian took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Teacher Qiu, let's go in and wait first. It's almost the auspicious time."
"Okay." Qiu Xuezheng held his mobile phone but his brows did not relax.
After crossing the threshold, the etiquette lady took the sign-in book and handed it to Qiu Xuezheng and the director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
"Minister Xu, I will trouble you again for the Calligraphy Association in the future." Ren Qian said to Minister Xu with a smile.
The Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association is a bridge of communication with Beicheng and Jiangjing.
Minister Xu wanted to curry favor with the Ren family, and Ren Qian also wanted to make friends with Minister Xu so that they could complement each other.
The names were at the back, Qiu Xuezheng scanned it, and all the names were on the first page, and the second page was basically complete, with only one blank left unchecked.
Qiu Xuezheng suddenly realized something, and he turned back to the first page and looked at the names one by one from top to bottom.
Bai Shi's name was not on the list.
"Why is one person missing? Where is Bai Shi?" Qiu Xue Zheng looked at the etiquette lady coldly.
The director of the Cultural Bureau was still looking outside the door and was startled when he heard the words, "What's going on?"
He didn't look closely just now, and took the sign-in sheet from Qiu Xue Zheng's hand again. Bai Shi's name was indeed not on it.
Minister Xu was taking care of the people participating in the launch ceremony. He was the chief planner of Xiangcheng this time. When he saw the movement outside, he hurried out and lowered his voice to ask Qiu Xue Zheng to speak more quietly.
Ren Qian also vaguely heard "Bai Shi".
Ren Wanxuan lowered her head to drink tea, hiding the contempt in her eyes.
Next to her, the secretary-general calmly passed over the matter.
Ren Qian held the teacup and looked at Ren Wanxuan for a long time, and finally chose not to care.
"The reporters are all here," Minister Xu glanced at the lobby, meaning for Qiu Xuezheng to keep his voice down, and then explained, "I didn't know that this Bai Di was your person. I crossed her out. We'll talk about it later if there's anything..."
Qiu Xuezheng suddenly knew why Bai Di didn't answer the phone or reply to messages.
She was someone who had never planned to participate in the competition from the beginning. She went to Jiangjing for a place in the Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association, but when she came back, she was crossed off the list by some unknown people.
"She was here this morning?" Qiu Xuezheng only asked one question.
Minister Xu glanced at the Secretary-General hesitantly, then nodded.
Qiu Xuezheng took a deep breath, and with restraint, he didn't throw the sign-in sheet in Minister Xu's face.
He took out his cell phone and turned around and left.
"Teacher Qiu, Teacher Qiu..." Minister Xu was shocked.
Qiu Xuezhen is the person whose importance in this launching ceremony is second only to Ren Qian. In the future, if the Calligraphy Association wants to attract talents, it will mostly rely on Qiu Xuezhen's reputation.
How could he leave?
Ren Qian and Ren Wanxuan both saw Qiu Xuezhen leave, and they couldn't pretend not to see it this time.
He walked out: "Why did Teacher Qiu leave?"
Minister Xu was also depressed: "Director, Teacher Qiu is too trifling. I said that I accidentally crossed out a quota. If he still wants to let someone in, I will wait for two days..." "
Trick or treat?" The Director of the Culture and Tourism Bureau interrupted him. He just looked at Minister Xu and scolded him: "Just crossed out? You just crossed out the applicant's name with just a stroke. How can you be so discerning?"
