Therefore, unless the organizing committee can find reasons why the immortals recommended by Wang Yao are indeed unsuitable for the position and have been approved by the Heavenly Emperor, Wang Yao's visit to the Heavenly Emperor now would indirectly imply that the Department of Merit and Examination and the Heavenly Court organizing committee are ineffective.
Therefore, Director Yang was absolutely unwilling for Wang Yao to engage in idle chatter with the Heavenly Emperor before the investigation results were released.
"Oh, by the way, is it alright if I suggest two immortal candidates to reside in the Underworld and the Demon Realm?" Wang Yao nodded and asked.
"No problem," Director Yang replied, composing himself.
"I would like to nominate Qin Su from the Underworld as the head of the Six Realms Women's Federation's Underworld branch, and Qing He from the Demon Realm as the head of the Demon Realm branch," Wang Yao said immediately.
"Oh..." Director Yang nodded and searched through his interface panel again.
"Don't bother looking. Qin Su is a ghost, and Qing He is a demon. You probably won't find them on your interface panel," Wang Yao said with a smile to Director Yang.
“Uh… that’s not a selection of immortals, but a selection of ghosts and demons. There are regulations in the organization that the head of a bureau-level agency in the Heavenly Court must be an immortal at the level of Nascent Soul or above. You…” Director Yang never expected that Wang Yao would even bring up ghosts and demons, and he was furious.
“Oh dear, rules are rules, but immortals are flexible. Qin Su and Qing He are in the Underworld and the Demon Realm respectively, so they are familiar with the situation and it will be easier for them to carry out their work. Should I go and talk to the Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme Elder?” Wang Yao said.
"I can't make that decision myself. Let's wait until it's submitted before we talk about it," Director Yang said, shaking his head repeatedly.
“There’s also Teacher Luo from the Heavenly Court’s Academy of Repentance and Reflection, who has now reached the Mahayana stage. Could I transfer him over?” Wang Yao then asked.
“Your unit is at the ministerial level, so of course you can be transferred here. However, your deputy position will be appointed by the organization through a separate selection process. If Teacher Luo comes, he can only hold a bureau-level position.” Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Yao had finally recommended another reasonably reliable person.
"This guy is just too outspoken. He even said he wants to write reportage. He could come work as the director of my creative propaganda bureau," Wang Yao laughed.
"Yes, once the organization's review is passed, the appointment can proceed." Director Yang made a quick note on the interface panel.
"What's Ma Chaoxing, the Heavenly Court's representative in the mortal realm, doing here in my external affairs office?" Wang Yao continued to ask. Ma Chaoxing, whose real name was Ma Gu, used to work as a security guard at the Grand Hotel in the mortal realm, keeping his identity as an immortal a complete secret.
Wang Yao felt that he should be fine doing some espionage work at the Foreign Affairs Office.
"Ma Chaoxing has also reached the Nascent Soul stage. He should have no problem being the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Office." Director Yang nodded repeatedly as he looked at the interface panel.
“Um, I have another celestial candidate here. Could the God Realm call her…” Wang Yao thought about the goddess beside the God of Land Reclamation whom he knew, and planned to arrange for a goddess to serve as the director of the Six Realms Women’s Federation’s branch in the God Realm.
"The selection of immortals is currently full; the rest will have to wait for the Heavenly Court's organizing committee to make unified arrangements." Director Yang snapped the interface panel shut.
"Full? How is that possible? I just counted and there should be one spot left." Wang Yao was greatly surprised.
"Look, Wang Zhaojun, Feng Huan, Hua Tuo, Hu Fei, Luan Chu, Director Lü and his wife..." Director Yang counted on his fingers for Wang Yao to see. By the time he got to Teacher Luo, there were already 12 people. Ma Chaoxing was an extra one.
"Does Feng Huan's disappearance count?" Wang Yao asked.
"It's because some of the immortals here might not pass the review that I asked you to submit one more. Submitting more than that would be inappropriate," Director Yang explained.
“But Luan Chu is just a junior clerk, why does she need to take up a spot?” Wang Yao was still not satisfied.
"Rules are rules." Director Yang shrugged at Wang Yao upon hearing this, feeling a surge of satisfaction at seeing the guy who always gave him trouble in a bind.
“But…” Wang Yao realized a serious problem. He was actually talking about this and that, but there was a celestial being on the tip of his tongue, but he never wanted to mention the name of this celestial being.
Who is it? It's Wei Zheng, of course.
He had a deep relationship with Wei Zheng in the realm of gods and demons, and knew that Wei Zheng was a capable person. With him by his side as the director of the administrative bureau, he would definitely have an easier time.
However, he was also very wary of Wei Zheng's intolerant temperament. You see, Wang Yao's initial motive for agreeing to be the director of the Sixth Women's Federation was not pure; he had a plan to engage in some corruption.
If he had a Wei Zheng by his side, it would be much more difficult for him to engage in corruption.
Therefore, Wang Yao rambled on about this and that, but Wei Zheng kept lingering in his mind, though he gritted his teeth and didn't say it. Now, hearing Director Yang announce that the selection of immortals for him had been used up, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and uncertainty.
Are we really not going to use Wei Zheng anymore? Didn't the Supreme Lord say that I'm going to fight a war? It's better to win the war first and then think about corruption. When it's time to be corrupt, we can just kick Wei Zheng out of the Women's Federation.
After much deliberation, Wang Yao still solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Director Yang.
"Director Yang, it doesn't matter who gets promoted or demoted in the other immortal selections, but I have another immortal selection here. You must remember it. My idea is to make him the head of the administrative bureau. I guess his cultivation level is a bit low, but I think he will be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage soon. Please make it convenient for him, Director Yang."
"If Director Yang won't even agree to this, then I'll have no choice but to go and find the Heavenly Emperor and the Supreme Elder now."
"Who are you talking about?" Director Yang asked, seeing Wang Yao's serious expression.
“Wei Zheng from the Secretariat of the Seven Saints Hall of Heaven,” Wang Yao said.
"Wei Zheng?" Director Yang took out the interface panel again, rummaged through it for a moment, and nodded. To be honest, Wei Zheng was the person Director Yang liked the most today. He was from the Secretariat of the Seven Sages Hall of Heaven, directly serving the Seven Sages of Heaven, and his status was even higher than that of the Secretariat of Heaven.
