"This new chief is really amazing. He was able to come up with such a name. Just based on this name, if there are no beauties in this group in the future, we will be letting down the world." Lei Qingfeng laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.
Qiu Tianyu on the side also laughed and said: "Maybe the director set up a new group just to seek benefits for the young and old men in Changsheng City?"
"That's true. The four great families think they have noble bloodlines, but their fertility rates have been declining year after year. Such excellent bloodlines must be passed on. So it makes sense why a new group, a technician group, is established at this time." Lei Qingfeng laughed and said, "I just don't know which lucky people will be able to join this group."
"Why are you two just sitting here chatting nonsense instead of testing the new magic equipment?" an old man came over and scolded.
Lei Qingfeng smiled and said, "Professor Xu, didn't you see the new Zhuxia Mantian group? From now on, the Changsheng Group 6 will become the Changsheng Group 7. The new group is also a technician group. I really want to go and see who the members of this group are."
"What does it have to do with you who he is? Go and test the magic suit for me and make the new magic suit as soon as possible. Only then will our magic suit group be able to be proud in the future..." Professor Xu was speaking when he suddenly heard an old voice coming from the direction of the Hall of Eternal Life.
"The Seventh Group of Immortality is officially established today. The Magic Equipment Group, which was originally established temporarily, is officially renamed the Technician Group. The new chief will take office within three days. Members of the Magic Equipment Group, please..."
Professor Xu, Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu did not hear clearly what was said next because they were stunned.
"We are the lucky ones in the technician team..." Lei Qingfeng felt as if his brain was struck by a series of thunder bombs. His brain froze and he stood there in a daze.
Li Xiu came out of the Hall of Eternal Life and saw that the outside of the Temple of Heaven was already surrounded by people. Li Qingyi, Bai Ying, Mo Liu and Sun Gang were also outside, looking at him strangely.
Li Zheng was about to go over to say hello, but he saw Li Qingyi, Bai Ying and Sun Gang turn around and leave at an incredibly fast speed. They disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Mo Liu standing there.
It's not that Mo Liu didn't want to leave. He, like Li Qingyi and the others, wanted to stay as far away from Li Xiu as possible. However, he still had to take Li Xiu to his residence and couldn't just leave like Li Qingyi and the others.
"Why did they all leave?" Li Xiu came up to Mo Liu and asked with a smile.
"Well... they all have something to do... Technical... Director Li... let me take you to your residence..." Mo Liu turned around and left with brisk steps. He just wanted to get to a place with fewer people as quickly as possible, the sooner the better.
Li Xiu followed Mo Liu all the way to a white jade courtyard. Mo Liu handed a bunch of keys to Li Xiu: "Chief Li, this Tianzi No. 7 Courtyard is prepared for the chief of Group 7. No one has lived there before. It may not be very clean inside. You have to clean it yourself, or you can ask your team members to come and help you clean it."
After handing over the keys, Mo Liu smiled and said, "Your technician team... that is, the former magic suit team, is on Sunset Street west of Changsheng City. It was previously managed by Vice President Bai. Now that you are their general manager, you should go and hand over to Vice President Bai as soon as possible..."
"Thank you, I understand." Li Xiu nodded.
"You're welcome. If you have any problem in the future... forget it... you are the chief now... I'm just an ordinary guiding messenger. I'm afraid I'll have to ask for your care in the future." Mo Liu said again.
"I'm unfamiliar with this place, so please take care of me," Li Xiu said.
Mo Liu chatted with Li Xiu for a few more words, told Li Xiu the issues that he needed to pay attention to in Changsheng City, and then left Yard No. 7.
Li Xiu used the key to open the gate and found that the yard was quite clean, with jade walls, jade tables, jade stools, a fish pond and a flower bed, all made of white jade.
The whole yard can be said to be spotless, and you can't tell where it is dirty.
There were only a few small grasses growing in the flower bed. It seemed that no one took care of them. Those grasses were taller than people and looked a bit like reeds.
Walking to the edge of the fish pond, the water was emerald green and bottomless, but you could see two lionhead goldfish playing in the water.
Most lionhead goldfish are golden or red, and there are also pure white lionhead goldfish. However, these two lionhead goldfish are a little special. They have white and black patches on their bodies, like the color of a cow.
The white parts are as crystal clear as jade, and the black parts are as black as ink, just like the goldfish painted in ancient paintings.
There are three main rooms in the yard, as well as wing rooms on the left and right. Although the place is not too big, it is very unique.
All the furniture and facilities in the house are carved from white jade, and there is nothing else. The bed is a whole piece of white jade, without even a quilt.
There are no electrical appliances or anything like that here, not even a water heater or running water.
Li Xiu took a look around and found that there was a well in the yard. He probably had to draw water from the well to drink.
There was no need to think about flushing the toilet, but luckily there was an old toilet in the yard.
"Times are advancing. Why is Changshengtian still so backward? It seems I have to get some decent furniture back in the future." Li Xiu had no choice but to make do with it for one night.
But he couldn't sleep well without even a quilt. He was going to go to Sha Chu's place to see if he could borrow a quilt from her.
After changing his clothes, Li Xiu went to the address Sha Chu left for him.
Although Changsheng City is a bit old, fortunately every street has street signs and house numbers, so it is not difficult to find where Sha Chu lives.
Sha Chu's residence was not that good, it was a small house in the compound. Li Xiu knocked on the door and saw that Sha Chu, who opened the door, was not wearing her red leather skirt, but a black suspender lace pajamas.
The large area of white exposed on her chest almost dazzled Li Xiu's eyes.
"Chief Technician, thank you for coming. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me." Sha Chu said with a smile.
Li Xiu ignored her and walked straight into her room. He saw that it was indeed not very big. Apart from a jade bed, a jade table and a jade cabinet, there was nothing else inside.
"Is there any quilt or something that you can lend me? Or tell me where I can buy one. I have nothing here. I need to buy some necessities of life." Li Xiu said as he sat down at the table.
"The shops and markets in Changsheng City are all in the east, but you'd better not go there for now." Sha Chu also sat down, poured a glass of water for Li Xiu, then supported his cheek with his hand and looked at Li Xiu with interest.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know how I became the chief. The invitation card that the Lord of Hongsha City gave me was the chief's invitation card. I really don't know why he gave me this." Li Xiu felt a little uncomfortable when being looked at by Sha Chu.
"This is a good thing. Now that you have become the chief, I have the opportunity to transfer to your team. Unfortunately, your group was originally the magic outfit group, and I am not a magic outfit master. It may be a bit difficult for me to transfer there." Sha Chu said.
"Don't worry about this. I've already asked. Although I took over the previous magic outfit group, it doesn't mean that I can only recruit magic outfit masters. But it's not an easy task to transfer you from the original group." Li Xiu said.
"Of course it's not easy, but fortunately my blood seal stone hasn't fallen into Han Mingshou's hands yet, so we still have a chance." Sha Chu stood up and opened the cabinet, took out a set of bedding and put it next to him: "Tomorrow I will go with you to Vice President Bai to apply for a transfer to the group. It just so happens that you are also going to Vice President Bai to take over the magic costume group. I don't know if Vice President Bai will have any objection to you taking over the magic costume master. After all, this magic costume group used to be his."
"Does the group transfer require the approval of Vice President Bai? This is a bit troublesome." Li Xiu pondered.
"This is a blessing in disguise. If Vice President Han was in charge of this matter, it would be really troublesome." Sha Chu is very open-minded.
"Is Han Mingshou related to Vice President Han?" Li Xiu immediately understood what Sha Chu meant.
"They are all members of the Han family, how can they not be related?" Sha Chu sighed.
"I'm afraid it's not safe for you to live here. I have a lot of houses over there. Why don't you move there?" Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.
The two people lived too far away from each other. If something really happened to Sha Chu, he would not be able to get over in time.
"Okay." Sha Chu didn't hesitate and got up to pack his things.
In fact, she didn't have much to pack, just a few clothes, a backpack, and her indenture.
After Sha Chu packed up his things, he turned and looked at Li Xiu.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu saw that she was looking at him and didn't know what she meant.
"Do you want to see me change clothes? That's not impossible. Why don't we go get a marriage certificate first, and then I'll change into ten or eight sets of clothes every day for you to see, okay?" Sha Chu said with a smile.
"That's not necessary." Li Xiu got up and went out, closing the door behind him.
There was only one room where Sha Chu lived, and there was no place for her to change clothes, so Li Xiu had to come out.
As soon as he closed the door, he saw a middle-aged man standing in the yard, staring at him coldly.
Li Xiu guessed who he was by the look in his eyes.
"Director Han?" Li Xiu looked at the man and asked calmly.
"Are you the new skill group chief Li Xiu?" Han Mingshou did not answer, but asked coldly.
"Yes, Chief Han, is there anything I can help you with?" Li Xiu said indifferently.
"Do you know what the most dangerous thing is in Changshengtian?" Han Mingshou said with cold eyes and expressionless face.
"I don't know." Li Xiu sat down on the jade steps in front of the door and said indifferently.
"The four major families of Changshengtian are all rule-abiding people. As long as you don't break the rules of Changshengtian, we won't do anything to you. But some people are different. Some people particularly don't like to abide by the rules. Such people are the most dangerous, and you just happen to offend such a person." Han Mingshou said calmly.
"Are you talking about Wan Chaoxin?" Li Xiu understood what Han Mingshou meant.
"Yes, Wan Chaoxin has evil ambitions. He dared to shoot you when you were climbing the mountain. Now that you are in Changsheng City, he has more opportunities to kill you." Han Mingshou said.
"The four major families have to abide by the rules. Why does Wan Chaoxin dare not to abide by the rules?" Li Xiu asked casually.
"Wan Chaoxin didn't dare to be so rampant before, and he was still abiding by the rules, at least he didn't dare to break the rules blatantly. But now it's different, someone from the Wan Chao family has returned." Han Mingshou narrowed his eyes and continued, "With this person here, even if everyone knows that it was Wan Chaoxin who killed you, no one can do anything to him."
"Oh, who is so powerful that he can even break the rules set by the president?" Li Xiu had already guessed who Han Mingshou was talking about.
"Of course we must abide by the rules set by the president, but rules are set by people and can be interpreted by people, and the president will be happy to listen to this person's explanation." Han Mingshou paused and continued, "You have just entered Changshengtian and may not have heard of the name Wan Chaochun, but decades ago, this name was the nightmare of the entire Changshengtian."
"He started practicing martial arts at the age of three, entered the trial field at the age of nine, became a super spirit at the age of thirteen, and was invincible in the club before he was twenty. It's no exaggeration to say that Wan Chaochun single-handedly pulled the Wan Chao family back from the brink of collapse. If it weren't for Wan Chaochun, the Wan Chao family would have long since fallen into obscurity. Fortunately, Wan Chaochun suddenly disappeared for decades, otherwise the current Changsheng City would not have been one of the four major families but five."
"Now that Wan Chaochun is back, Wan Chaoxin is still her grandson. Although he is not her biological grandson, Wan Chaoxin is the hope for the future of the Wan Chao family. Do you think Wan Chaochun will sit back and do nothing if something happens to Wan Chaoxin? Even the president will give Wan Chaochun some face, and your death will be in vain."
"Why are you telling me this?" Li Xiu asked.
"Wan Chaoxin once competed with me for the position of the head of the Seeking Dao Group, but unfortunately he failed. That means he is also my enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, don't you think?" Han Mingshou said with a smile.
"So what can I, as your friend, do for you?" Li Xiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"With our Han family's status in Changsheng City, why do we need others to do anything for us. As for you, if necessary, the Han family will be your best friend. But as a friend, I hope you can abide by etiquette and not interfere in your friend's family affairs." Han Mingshou finally expressed his intentions.
"What are your housework? I don't quite understand." Li Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Mingshou.
"Sha Chu is a member of my Tao-seeking group." Han Mingshou said.
"Oh, so you are talking about Sha Chu. What a coincidence. In addition to being a member of your Seeking Truth Group, she is also a member of my City of Light. It seems that we are really destined to be together. We have the same enemies and the same friends. We should be able to get along well in the future." Li Xiu smiled and said, "Since we are friends, I wonder if you, General Han, can give me some convenience?"
"What convenience do you want?" Han Mingshou's eyes turned cold.
"How about asking Chief Han to transfer Sha Chu to my team? It shouldn't be too difficult for our friend, right?" Li Xiu said to Han Mingshou.
"Since Chief Li is not a reasonable person, I have said too much." Han Mingshou turned and left without further ado with Li Xiu.
After Han Mingshou left, Shachu, who had changed into a leather skirt and leather boots, pushed the door open and walked out. She looked in the direction Han Mingshou had left and said, "It seems that Han Mingshou is not willing to let me go no matter what. I'm afraid that transferring to another group will be very troublesome."
"Although I don't like trouble, I'm never afraid of trouble." Li Xiu said lightly.
"Brother Shou, that Li Xiu is really ungrateful. Do you want me to find a way to teach him a lesson?" Han Minghao said as he followed Han Mingshou.
"Don't mess around. Li Xiu must have a background to be able to set up a new group. He's not just a new member." Han Mingshou frowned.
"Don't worry, brother. How could I push the Han family to the forefront? This matter does not require our Han family to step in. We just need to find someone to help." Han Minghao said with a smile.
"Are you talking about Wan Chaoxin? You should stay out of the Wan Chao family's affairs. Now that Wan Chaochun is back, the Wan Chao family should not be provoked." Han Mingshou said, "Wan Chaoxin wants to kill Li Xiu, that's his own business, we must not get involved in this matter."
"Brother Shou, you worry too much. Wan Chaoxin wants to kill Li Xiu. That's something everyone knows. Why should we add unnecessary trouble?" Han Minghao lowered his voice and said, "In addition to Wan Chaochun, Master Ba has also returned recently. I heard that the president wants to ask Master Ba to predict the future."
Han Mingshou's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
"Given the relationship between our Han family and Master Ba, asking Master Ba for a little help shouldn't be a problem, right?" Han Minghao said with a smile, "When predicting the future, if Master Ba says something about Li Xiu that's not very auspicious, what do you think the president's reaction would be?"
"Yes, that is a good idea. However, I have to ask my sister to go to the Eighth Master's place in person." Han Mingshou narrowed his eyes.
Everyone in Changshengtian knows that the president believes in things like fate the most.
However, Mr. Ba is a strange person and is very greedy for money. If you want to impress him, not only do you have to be rich, but you also have to be someone Mr. Ba likes. It is not easy for ordinary people to impress him.
Fortunately, Han Mingshou's sister, who is now the Vice President Han, had a friendship with Mr. Ba in the past, so this matter is not impossible to do.
Of course, Han Mingshou would not be so bold as to ask the Eighth Master to change the secret of the future. It would be enough for him to just say one or two insignificant words.
Although he thought this was feasible, Han Mingshou still decided to ask his sister what she thought first.
After listening to what Han Mingshou and Han Minghao said, Han Minghui looked at them as if they were two idiots.
"Brother, have you ever thought about what would happen to our Han family if the president knew about this?" Han Minghui said coldly.
Now she already regretted pushing Han Mingshou to the position of head of the Seeking Truth Group. If Han Mingshou was not his parents' only son, she would never have considered helping Han Mingshou to take the position.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. It's just for Mr. Ba to say a few insignificant words..." Han Mingshou still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Don't mention this matter again, unless you want our Han family to be removed from Changshengtian." Han Minghui said coldly.
"What about Sha Chu? The old commander's belongings must be in her hands. You know what those things mean. We can't let her fall into Li Xiu's hands." Han Mingshou said.
"Are you sure the general's belongings are in Sha Chu's hands?" Han Minghui frowned.
"There's no doubt about it. The general manager has always been partial to her and protects her like his own daughter. Now that we can't find anything, it must be with her." Han Mingshou said with certainty.
Han Minghui pondered for a while, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "We must not mention Li Xiu when we are measuring the heaven's secrets, but we can ask Mr. Ba to measure him alone."
