Chapter 148 I wish I can become an immortal soon
"Have you given up on learning?"
In the car, Lin Wen asked his three aides.
The three of them nodded and shook their heads at the same time, their minds still in shock, their expressions like idiots.
Lin Wen smiled and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Go back and think about it carefully. Whoever can understand my intentions as soon as possible will be promoted as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
When the word "promotion" was mentioned, the three people's eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded vigorously at the same time.
Back at the County Hall, Lin Wen went straight to the Finance Department, while the three staff members returned to the County Governor's Office.
As soon as the three of them came back, everyone in the office turned their attention to them.
One person stood up and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work. What did you do today? Can you tell me?"
The three of them shook their heads together. They had already decided not to tell anyone about it. Besides the fact that this was their advantage, they also didn't dare to spread the news because it was too shocking.
The man laughed and said, "Brothers, don't do this. County Chief Lin will be unhappy if he knows."
These words were quite harsh, but the three people hesitated for a moment and still shook their heads firmly.
Cheng Qingqing said, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient to talk about this. I don't think County Magistrate Lin would agree with us."
The man knew there was no hope when he heard it. Perhaps County Governor Lin had hinted to them that this was an order from the highest official, so they would definitely not tell anyone.
He smiled and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it. My point is that we can all discuss it with each other and learn more about County Chief Lin's preferences and style. This will be a good thing for everyone. The rest depends on your own ability."
No one responded. What everyone was actually thinking about was how to divide more of the cake, not how to make the cake bigger.
The office was quiet, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, except for one person who was not there.
He is Xiao Xiao. He firmly believes that he is special and disdains to associate with them, so he left early on his own.
After this period of understanding, he already knew the basic power structure of Changshan County.
The highest point is of course Lin Wen. As the county chief, he also holds the power of military governorship. No one can compete with him.
Under Lin Wen are two trusted generals, Deputy County Magistrate Zhao Minggong, who is responsible for most of the internal affairs, and Qin Luoshuang, the head of the County Magistrate's Guard Department, who is responsible for security issues.
Next are Huang Ming, Xiao Fang, Yaobo and other capable people.
Xiao Xiao's original intention was to go find Zhao Minggong first, but Zhao Minggong was surrounded by extremely strict guards, and without the order from the county chief and deputy county chief, he could not see him at all.
The County Hall is a solemn square building, only five stories high, but it covers a vast area of 230,000 square meters, equivalent to the total area of 2,000 ordinary people's houses.
All major departments are located on the first or second floor, while the third, fourth and fifth floors are occupied by minor departments, subordinate departments or spare rooms.
The office of the county governor's guard department was in the southwestern corner of the second floor of the county hall. Xiao Xiao had a smooth journey and didn't even meet a single person.
The office of the county governor's guard department was brightly lit. Xiao Xiao knocked on the door and a young woman's voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Xiao Xiao pushed the door open and saw a room of about 80 square meters. The entire room was filled with various bookcases, file cabinets and safes, with only a desk in the middle.
The mysterious woman who never appears in public sits behind the desk, which is covered with messy papers.
She was buried in the pile of papers and didn't even look at him.
Xiao Xiao looked at her. She was an ordinary, plain-looking young woman who seemed to be wearing some disguise, but her eyes were sharp, showing her extraordinaryness.
He bowed gracefully: "Xiao Xiao, the county chief's staff, is here to pay a visit to Director Qin."
The other side only replied with one word: "Speak."
Xiao Xiao said directly, "I feel that Changshan County is developing too slowly and has many hidden dangers. I am the one who can save Changshan County from all crises, but County Chief Lin has not realized my strength. I heard that you are one of County Chief Lin's confidants. I hope you can introduce me to you."
The strange woman glanced at him and asked, "Reason?"
Xiao Xiao took out a valuable pure-color cat's eye from her bosom and said, "It's a small gift. I hope Director Qin will accept it."
Director Qin reached over calmly and asked, "Anything else?"
There was a hint of anger in Xiao Xiao's eyes. This cat's eye stone was of very good quality and was worth at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. It was just an introduction, but Director Qin was too greedy.
But since he had already made a move, he could no longer retreat. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to take out another sapphire from his arms. This one was much more valuable, starting at at least 150,000.
Director Qin reached over again: "Anything else?"
Xiao Xiao's hands trembled, and he took several deep breaths to suppress his anger. He then took out a high-quality black pearl from his arms. He had saved a lot of money to get this pearl and was going to give it to the goddess.
Director Qin reached over again: "Anything else?"
Xiao Xiao was furious and said, "Why are you so greedy? I don't want you to help me anymore, give me back my things!"
Director Qin sneered: "Once the thing is in my arms, how can it get out?"
Xiao Xiao was so angry that she rushed over and grabbed her: "I told you to be greedy!"
Unexpectedly, the skills of this unprepossessing young female director were far beyond his imagination. She dodged his hand, turned around and kicked him in the neck with lightning speed.
Xiao Xiao's vision went dark as he was kicked to the ground. Just as he was about to stand up, Director Qin had already stepped on his chest and looked down at him condescendingly: "You have good skills, are you Master Xu's disciple?"
Xiao Xiao was furious. Just as he was about to put his hand into his arms, five guns were pointed at his head.
Director Qin said coldly: "Take your hands out, or your head will bloom."
Xiao Xiao looked at the five spies who appeared out of nowhere. They had cold expressions and their hands holding the guns were firm and powerful. It was obvious that they would shoot without hesitation if he made any rash moves.
Xiao Xiao knew that he had been pressed on the chopping block and could only slowly take his hand out.
Director Qin said calmly, "I'll give you a chance. Answer my question. Who sent you here? What's your purpose?"
Xiao Xiao sneered, "What purpose could I have? I came here to realize my value, but you're all blind. The future star of the empire is here, yet you all turn a blind eye. If it weren't for my goddess, I would have left long ago."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Director Qin suddenly moved his feet, turned around and sat back, and said lightly: "You can go."
"Since you are so sincere, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you want to be favored by County Chief Lin, give him more money. He loves money the most."
Two agents pulled him up and pushed him out.
After Xiao Xiao left.
Qin Luoshuang took out all the gems she had just received and placed them on a pile of information bags next to her.
"Count these as stolen goods from the confiscation of property and send them to the Finance Department."
"The stolen goods must be carefully inspected and compared in detail with the sales and returns from the Finance Department. If there are any missing, discrepancies, or suspicious items, report them directly to me."
From the shadows, an agent stepped out, took the information and gemstones into his arms, and bowed, saying, "Yes, Miss Qin."
Qin Luoshuang continued.
"Ignore the protesting loan sharks. According to imperial custom, the seized properties will be directly taken back into the Empire's hands."
"Wang Hong has no authority to pledge Empire's assets, so their pledge agreement is invalid. This is Wang Hong's fraud. Tell them that if they are dissatisfied, they can sue Wang Hong. I guarantee that they will win 100% of the case."
"All of Wang Hong's fixed assets must be sold as soon as possible. Find buyers from outside the city. The price can be reduced by up to 30%."
Another agent stepped out from the shadows, bowed, and said, "Yes, Miss Qin."
Then, they disappeared into the shadows together.
Outside the door.
Xiao Xiao, who was kicked out, walked around the building in confusion for a while. Suddenly, he realized that there were people along the way, but they were all hiding in the shadows, making it difficult to detect them.
These agents had cold eyes and expressionless faces, standing silently in the corner, adding a sense of terror to the silent office building.
Xiao Xiao felt a chill in her heart and didn't dare to stay any longer, so she hurried downstairs.
Fortunately, he thought to himself, today I still got some benefits, so my efforts were not in vain.
The finance department, which had just received 50 million and a lot of stolen goods, was already in a state of chaos. Old Xie had no hair on his head, and he was still frantically scratching the non-existent hair on his head.
The money came at the right time. Our finances were almost at the bottom, but now we are out of the danger zone.
A huge workload ensues.
Fortunately, the Finance Department assigned 60 new employees, and these 60 new forces greatly alleviated their work pressure.
Especially Tian Jiajia, her math ability is simply terrifying.
Old Xie was very happy to finally have a capable assistant. He shouted, "Tian Jiajia, quickly calculate the sum of these 100 tables!"
It's late at night.
Finally, Lin Wen was the only one left in the county governor's office.
After completing a simple wash, he lay back in his big chair and was about to go to sleep when the phone in the office suddenly rang.
Lin Wen answered the phone.
But there was only a series of strange ticking sounds.
About three seconds later, the call ended.
A minute later, the phone rang again.
It was the same strange ticking sound.
Also hang up after three seconds.
This was repeated three times.
The office was very quiet late at night. The night seeped in from outside. It seemed as if something was approaching him invisibly, but this terrifying feeling made Lin Wen very excited.
Are there ghosts in this world?
But after waiting for a long time, Sadako didn't come out of the phone.
Feeling unwilling to give up, he asked directly to [Ask Yu Tian].
Is there any supernatural power in this world?
Consumption: 10% of the soul.
The answer was very long, but after Lin Wen read it, he was instantly disappointed.
"Sleep, sleep."
It turns out that this is a physical world where there is no dream at all.
I'd better wish that I can be reincarnated and become an immortal as soon as possible.
