Chapter 212: Restrained
"Ajian, Madam Tianshi is here." Chen Heng told the story.
"The official decree hasn't come down yet, are you unhappy that I got promoted?" Xie Jian looked at her while washing his hands.
"Of course I'm happy. It's just a little strange. How come you got promoted?" There are so many people.
"I've been planning this for so long. If it's not me who will get promoted, who else could it be?" Xie Jian sat on the bed and did not hide anything from his wife.
Chen Heng blinked, not expecting Xie Jian to admit it directly: "But you are just a small official now, how can you have the ability to make those adults listen to you?" No matter how powerful he is, that will be in the future.
"Didn't I tell you before?" Xie Jian pointed to the backup files on the table. "Those files record everything each lord has experienced and dealt with. I know them better than they know themselves."
When you are familiar with someone, it is not difficult to plot against him.
People's thoughts are very simple. They only care about things related to themselves. What they need to do is to care about things related to them.
Of course, he also has people helping him.
This was also the escape route he prepared for himself, except for Eunuch Wang.
Chen Heng looked at the case files he had just brought back. Since the first day he entered the Secretariat, he had been studying late into the night. Well, to become a man who is second only to one person and above ten thousand people in the future, he must have some outstanding qualities. Considering the gratitude Madam Shi showed him, it seemed that this guy had left a way out for others.
She breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a complete massacre as described in history, she had nothing to worry about. Shen Heng smiled and patted the seat beside her: "Ajian, go to sleep."
Xie Jian lay down and hugged his wife naturally.
Chen Heng thought about consummating her marriage again and couldn't help but glance up at him. This guy's looks were the kind that would become more and more outstanding as he grew older, but he was a little cold. Her sister-in-law said that he loved to laugh as a child, but after his father Xie's accident, he stopped smiling and became tense every day, unable to tolerate any criticism.
But unfortunately, others always point fingers at his sore spots.
Chen Heng still remembered that when she first came here, he would often lose his temper and look like he was about to start a fight, but now he could move around among his colleagues without making a sound.
I was forced to grow up too fast. I transitioned from a child to an adult in an instant. It is probably impossible for me to return to my former cheerful personality.
I wonder what Xie Jian looks like when he smiles?
Xie Jian opened his eyes, took the hand that was on his face, looked at her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Ajian, smile?"
Xie Jian: "..." He closed his eyes again: "Sleep."
Shen Heng had no choice but to go to bed first.
On the day when Xie Jian was promoted to the position of Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Lu Ji'an, Meng Xuanlang, Wu Jin, Gu Feng, and Yu Wei all came to congratulate him.
"Zixuan, how can you be so powerful? Those people are all people who crawled out of the pile of elites." When Wu Jin heard the news, he thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Meng Xuanlang shook his head: "Those are just troublemakers. He's the only one who's truly smart."
Xie Jian raised his wine cup and said, "As a good friend of the human spirit, you are honored to be here."
Meng Xuanlang, Wu Jin: "..."
Gu Feng and Yu Wei laughed loudly beside them, and they both picked up their wine cups and drank from them: "Madam Shen, you come too."
Shen Heng picked up the wine cup.
