About an hour later, Secretary Yan came in from outside.
"Chief, there is a meeting in twenty minutes."
"Yes, I know. Go get ready first."
Number One nodded.
"yes."
Secretary Yan nodded, turned around and walked out.
"Commander, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Xiao Chen prepared to leave.
"Well, nothing else. I'll get ready for the meeting... All day long, all kinds of things, all kinds of meetings."
Number One nodded.
"Haha, as the head of a country, this is what you have to do... If it were me, I really couldn't stand it."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"If I asked you to sit in my seat, handle things every day, and have various meetings, would you not come?"
Suddenly, No. 1 looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head without even thinking about it.
"I am a lazy person and can't stand being restricted... I like freedom."
"free……"
Number One repeated the two words and narrowed his eyes.
"Then you know that if you want absolute freedom, you must have absolute power?"
"Haha, I don't have such big ambitions. As long as no one provokes me, that's fine."
Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"Commander, I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourself."
"Okay, go ahead."
Number One nodded.
"I'll arrange a car to take you there."
"No need. I'll call Lao Guan later and ask him where he is. I have something else to talk to him about."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said.
"Okay, then I'll leave you alone. Let's find a time to go to my house for dinner."
Number One nodded.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart moved and he agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for the chief's arrangement at any time."
"You kid... go ahead."
Number One pointed his finger at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"Well, goodbye, Chief."
Xiao Chen also smiled and left the office.
"Commander, let's go too."
Soon, Secretary Yan came in from outside and said to No. 1.
"good."
Number One nodded, stood up and walked out.
When he reached the door, he paused as he thought of something.
"Xiao Yan, let me ask you a question."
"Sir, please ask."
Secretary Yan said hurriedly.
"You should be familiar with my daily schedule. If... you were to take my place and be busy all day, would you be willing?"
Number One looked at Secretary Yan and asked.
After hearing what No. 1 said, Secretary Yan's face changed drastically. You shouldn't ask like that, right?
"Just say it."
Number One knew Secretary Yan’s concerns and said calmly.
"Yes, I do."
Secretary Yan hesitated, nodded, and then added.
“I think no one would be unwilling.”
"Willing to? Haha, the boy just said that he didn't want to..."
Number One smiled and strode out.
"ah?"
Secretary Yan was a little confused. Is there really someone who doesn't want to?
"Hey, Lao Guan."
After leaving Office No. 1, Xiao Chen strolled around Zhongnanhai.
Except for a few places, this place is not as strict as outsiders imagine.
In general, it is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so as long as it can come in, there is basically no problem.
"Boy, have you finished meeting number one?"
Guan Duanshan's voice came from the receiver.
"Well, I just came out of his office... Lao Guan, where are you?"
"I happen to be in Zhongnanhai too. I'll have someone pick you up. Tell me where you are."
"Um."
Xiao Chen looked around and told the location.
After hanging up the phone, he didn't stroll around anymore, but lit a cigarette and started smoking.
After about two or three minutes, a middle-aged man came over.
"Mr. Xiao."
"Haha, it's you."
Xiao Chen looked at the person who came and smiled. This was Guan Duanshan's confidant, whom he had met twice before.
"Well, Mr. Xiao, the commander is waiting for you, please follow me."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"good."
Xiao Chen followed the middle-aged man and walked inside.
"You are really good, you came to Zhongnanhai in the No. 1 car..."
As soon as they met, Guan Duanshan said with a smile.
"I didn't know it was the No. 1 car. I just felt different. As soon as I sat in it, I felt the aura of a king."
Xiao Chen smiled, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.
He felt more relaxed in front of Guanduan Mountain than in front of No. 1.
"The spirit of a king? You shouldn't say such flattering words to me, you should say it to No. 1."
Guan Duanshan looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"What I said to Number One seemed too deliberate. I told you, this will probably reach Number One's ears as well."
Xiao Chen put down the teacup.
"How was your conversation with Number One?"
Guan Duanshan chuckled and asked.
"Did he agree to Longshan's matter?"
"Well, he agreed very readily. I felt uneasy because of his agreement. I wondered if there was some conspiracy behind it."
Xiao Chen nodded and said.
"I think you are a complete conspiracy theorist... There are not so many conspiracies, really."
Guan Duanshan rolled his eyes at Xiao Chen.
"You have done a great job in the matter of South Korea. It saved us a lot of trouble. That's why No. 1 agreed so readily."
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking... It seems like this summit is very important, huh?"
Xiao Chen nodded and asked casually.
"good."
Guan Duanshan didn't say much.
"Besides Longshan? What else did you talk about? It's confidential, so don't tell me."
"Well... Number One asked me if it was a secret that he gave up his seat to me?"
Xiao Chen looked at Guan Duanshan and asked seriously.
"What the hell?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Guan Duanshan was stunned.
"Give me your seat?"
"Yes, he said being number one was too tiring and asked me if I wanted to do it..."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
“…”
Guan Duanshan was speechless and looked strange.
"So what did you say?"
"I said no, I'm not interested."
Xiao Chen was somewhat pleased with himself.
"How is it? Isn't it domineering? In ancient times, it would be the throne. If I say no, then I don't want it."
"Don't talk like you can really give it to you!"
Guan Duanshan curled his lips and said unhappily.
"Well, you won't let me show off?"
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Is that little girl a dual-powered person?"
Guan Duanshan brought up the main matter and asked.
"You guys are so boring...you know everything."
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, she is a dual-element mutant, wind and water."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Guan Duanshan's eyes lit up: "Wind and water? Very good!"
"Lao Guan, I promised her parents that you will do your best to train her... Besides, her parents don't want her to lose her freedom for the rest of her life!"
Xiao Chen looked at Guan Duanshan and said seriously.
"What's the meaning?"
Guan Duanshan was stunned.
"If you can let her awaken her superpowers, when she grows up, she needs to have relative freedom instead of working for the country all the time... She is not a soldier!"
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"If you don't agree, then her parents won't let her join your supernatural organization."
"Relative freedom?"
Guan Duanshan pondered.
"Boy, do you know how much money, material resources and energy are needed to awaken a dual-system ability..."
"But you also have to know how precious a dual-powered person is... Your training of her is not enough for her to devote her whole life to."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Impossible. If we train her but she doesn't work for us, then what's the point? It's like a priceless treasure that doesn't belong to us. It's like a stone. It's meaningless, isn't it?"
Guan Duanshan shook his head.
"Okay, then I'll take a step back. Before she reaches adulthood, even if she awakens her powers, you can't force her to do anything... After she reaches adulthood, whether she stays in your organization is up to her personal choice."
Xiao Chen said while smoking a cigarette.
"Are you the one negotiating with me here? Do her parents really have so many demands?"
Guan Duanshan looked at Xiao Chen and said suspiciously.
"Well, how is that possible? These are all reasonable requests..."
Xiao Chen coughed dryly. It was him who took the initiative to negotiate.
"Let's take a look at her supernatural talent first. If she is very talented, I can consider it."
Guan Duanshan thought for a moment and said.
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded. He knew that if he said anything more, it would be a bit too much.
"When will you take me to see him?"
Guan Duanshan asked.
"You arrange it, but it has to be done as soon as possible. I may not be able to stay in the capital for a few days."
Xiao Chen put out his cigarette.
"Tomorrow morning."
Guan Duanshan thought about it and made a decision.
"Okay, then wait for me to tell them... and go directly to your base?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Okay, her parents are going too?"
Guan Duanshan nodded.
"Of course, since they are going to give their daughter to you, I have to go and take a look... What if you are some kind of pyramid scheme?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips and said.
“…”
Guan Duanshan was speechless. This kid... talks too much nonsense.
In the evening, Xiao Chen left Zhongnanhai.
Guan Duanshan arranged a car to take him to the Sijiu Club.
On the way, he called Hua Yixuan.
"Yixuan, what are you doing?"
"Have you finished shopping with your friends?"
"Well, I'm done with my work. I'm going to have dinner with Lao Chu and the others tonight. Do you want to come?"
"I'm not going. I think my grandpa and mom have almost finished their research. I'll spend some time with them tonight."
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You're not coming back tonight?"
Hua Yixuan asked.
"We'll see when the time comes. We can't be sure now."
"Okay, if you're not coming back, give me a call."
"Um."
After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Xiao Chen hung up the phone.
When he arrived at the 49 Club, the people at the door stopped him.
"Sir, please show me your membership card."
The person at the door said politely.
"Uh, it seems not."
Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed, because Chu Kuangren didn't give him any membership card.
"No? Then sir, you can't go in..."
The person at the door said with a smile.
"Let me make a phone call."
Xiao Chen took out his cell phone and was about to call Chu Kuangren.
Before he could make the call, he heard a mocking voice next to him: "You look like you're from out of town... Can anyone enter this 49 Club? Do you think you can get in just by making a phone call or finding someone? You're a country bumpkin!"
