Chapter 1034 Probing Gaze

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Fuehrer, Director Xu is here."

Not even five minutes after Wang Tianxiong left, a young secretary of the secretariat pushed open the door and walked in. He subconsciously glanced at the situation in the study and then said respectfully.

"Invite him in."

Lin Qingtian's tone was low and dignified. He clearly noticed the secretary's gaze and casually waved his hand. "Xiao Huang, I don't need anything here. If I need anything, I'll call you."

"Alright."

Secretary Xiao Huang replied, As he retreated, he invited Xu Shangfeng in. It was obvious that Lin Qingtian was planning to create a private conversation. There was no need for him to have another meaning, and he was also given the right to block anyone who came to visit. Xiao Huang was well aware of this. As a secretary, if he could only understand the leader's literal meaning, such a secretary would undoubtedly be unqualified.

Xiao Huang was the secretary of the Central Office of the Empire, As for Lin Qingtian's true confidant, Han Jingyu, deputy director of the General Office of the Center, was his immediate superior, This secretariat was dedicated to serving Lin Qingtian, About twenty members, But most of the time, it revolved around Han Jingyu. As Lin Qingtian's direct confidant, Han Jingyu, who was already in his forties and had already adjusted to the Governor-General level, had extremely strict requirements for his subordinates. In fact, it could be said that he was strict. Under his guidance, every member of the Secretariat was trained to be extremely clever.

Xiao Huang was one of the best, So a lot of times, Xiao Huang was waiting for Lin Qingtian's book to be placed outside to serve him personally. Although it was just a simple task to serve tea and pour water, However, the honor made countless people envious. When Lin Qingtian retreated, The new leader took office, The current Han Jingyu would definitely be released, Not a minister in the capital, The governor of a province, Previously, there was even a precedent for the head secretary of the Fuehrer to directly serve as the provincial secretary after the leader stepped down, However, with the current situation of the southwest faction, it was impossible for Han Jingyu to reach his goal in one step. However, the position of Governor was definitely not bad. The position of a feudal official was there. In any faction, they were the true backbone and core force.

As for Han Jingyu, an ordinary secretary like Xiao Huang would most likely be promoted to an official rank, which could also be considered a reward.

At that time, Xiao Huang would be appreciated by Han Jingyu, And those who have served the Fuehrer personally will become extremely popular, As long as he didn't make too many mistakes, he would eventually reach the rank of deputy governor. After retirement, it was basically a certainty that he would enjoy the rank of governor. If he was strong enough, it was not impossible for him to be the governor, or even the provincial secretary, and enjoy the rank of deputy governor after retirement. This was basically a small wealthy family.

This was an opportunity that everyone wanted to seize. Xiao Huang naturally cherished it. He was extremely pursuing perfection in his work. He was afraid that he would lose his favor because of a small matter. He was even more respectful towards the other Southwest faction giants and didn't dare to neglect them at all.

"Director Xu, the Fuehrer invites you in."

Xiao Huang did not close the door of the study room, leaving a gap. He said softly to Xu Shangfeng, who was standing expressionlessly outside.

Xu Shangfeng glanced at Xiao Huang and nodded. He pushed open the study door and closed it heavily.

"Bang!"

The dull sound made Xiao Huang tremble slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He sat down honestly in his seat and immersed himself in his work.

The atmosphere in the study room became tense and suppressed with Xu Shangfeng's sudden closing of the door.

Lin Qingtian raised his eyebrows and the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitched slightly. He looked at Xu Shangfeng and smiled, "Director Xu is very angry. Why is he here to vent his emotions?"

Xu Shangfeng's heart trembled slightly. Only then did he realize that his attitude just now was indeed a little too radical. Lin Qingtian was polite to him before, That was because the relationship between the four giants of the southwest faction was in the honeymoon period. Now, because of those damned martial arts forces, the two sides were gradually moving away. As the supreme leader of the empire, Lin Qingtian was the boss of everyone. Xu Shangfeng really didn't have the qualifications to ask him anything. What could Lin Qingtian call it if he stabbed him?

Even if Lin Qingtian really pulled his face and scolded him, Xu Shangfeng could not bite him.

"I'm in a bad mood."

Xu Shangfeng took a deep breath and sighed slightly. Seeing that Lin Qingtian had no intention of sitting down with him in the reception area, he walked straight to Lin Qingtian's desk and sat down. He said in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Lin Qingtian smiled calmly. With a calm attitude, Before Wang Tianxiong left, he had already made his stance clear, This also gave him a lot of confidence, Facing Xu Shangfeng again, he was filled with confidence and a strong sense of superiority. However, when he thought about how he was the supreme head of the empire and the supreme leader of the southwest faction, the sense of superiority and confidence in his body came from the royal family, Lin Qingtian felt a bit of pain. However, facing Xu Shangfeng now, he still had to hold on to what he should hold.

"Tell me, what's going on? Let's see if I can help Director Xu resolve his worries."

Lin Qingtian casually leaned back and chuckled.

The meeting between the two of them seemed to be the same as before. Although the scene of Lin Qingtian respecting Xu Shangfeng in front of outsiders had disappeared, when they were alone, the casualness between the two of them did not change at all. However, in Xu Shangfeng's senses, Lin Qingtian's casualness from before was intimate, but now, his casualness carried a trace of carelessness.

Do you really think that with the support of the Ye Clan, you can eat me?

The anger in Xu Shangfeng's eyes flashed, and then he regained his calm. He said in a low voice, "Fuehrer, Lin Fengxue invited the elites of the various martial arts forces into Nine Continents City. Do you know about this?"

"I know."

Lin Qingtian nodded without hesitation. He said calmly, "That's what I mean, Director Xu, I know what you're trying to say, That's right, those people are here for a while, But I think, Let these experts arrive at Nine Continents City in advance, familiarize yourself with the situation, It's not necessarily a bad thing, They've been isolated for too long, Compared to today's people, They even lived in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic, "Their minds are still stuck there. This is not going to work. Therefore, I suggest that they come out early and familiarize themselves with this era as soon as possible. If their minds and minds cannot keep up, no matter how powerful these people are, they are just martial artists. How can I rest assured that they will enter the secret service system and lead our country's elites?"

Xu Shangfeng snorted and said in a gloomy tone, "I don't think those criminals are worthy of leading our country's elites. Their minds are rigid and they haven't seen much of the world. Even if such a person is familiar with the situation in advance, what use can a month or two of time have?" Such people should stay in their own place, Fuehrer. I don't think the empire made the right decision to use these people. "

"We've already discussed this many times. Let's not talk about it anymore, okay?"

Lin Qingtian said indifferently. His tone was calm and his attitude was very subtle.

However, Xu Shangfeng didn't budge. He stared into Lin Qingtian's eyes and said, "I just don't understand, Fuehrer, why did you do this? Yes, I admit that the secret service system is very important, but I don't think the secret service system can be that important. Don't you think we've compromised too much in order to have a say in the secret service?" If this continues, the entire southwest faction will be devoured bit by bit until... "

"Comrade Xu Shangfeng!"

Lin Qingtian suddenly interrupted Xu Shangfeng.

His gaze also became harsh and fierce. "Not as serious as you say, The southwestern faction has existed for decades, Two Empire Heads of State, A prime minister, Our talent ladder is perfect, This kind of faction isn't going to be defeated just by saying that it's going to be nibbled away. Our plan in the Secret Service System is only to change the strategy of the faction's operation in the next few years. It seems that there are indeed a lot of compromises, but as long as we can complete the final plan, there will be room for us to retaliate. Who can sing along the political path? Balance and compromise are the main themes of politics. When we attack, we must compromise. Most importantly, our compromise is not useless. "

"Not useless?"

Xu Shangfeng couldn't help but sneer, "What use is that?" The future leadership and voice of the Secret Service? Fuehrer, that's the future, In fact, you have now surrendered your authority, "I also handed it to Ye Nianlun . You haven't retreated yet, but in fact, the Wang family is already at the commanding heights of power. Your compromises are all for the sake of the Secret Service system's right to speak and lead in the future. It is possible to obtain them, but naturally, it is also possible that you will not be able to obtain them!"

"Do you really think that with Lin Xuanyuan around, those sinners from the martial arts factions can really occupy some important positions and even check and balance Lin Xuanyuan?"

"With Lin Xuanyuan's strength and the support of Ye Chunqiu and Wang Tianxiong's two generations of guardians behind him, whether it's at the grassroots level, at the upper level, or at the middle level, what are we going to fight him for? Combat power? Who would be his opponent? The prestige of the Secret Service? Can we replace Wang Tianxiong and Ye Chunqiu? High-level connections? Now that you've compromised to such an extent, the higher-ups in the future will all belong to the royal family. Under such circumstances, how can you fight? With these unfounded sinners in your hands? "I'm sure that once they enter the secret service system and dare to provoke Lin Xuanyuan, Lin Xuanyuan can trample them to death every minute. Is your compromise really worth it?"

Xu Shangfeng took a few short breaths and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "And do you really think you can control those sinners?" This is simply a joke. You have given them enough power now. Perhaps in the future, these people who already have enough power will become traitors and cause a mess to the entire empire's secret service system. After being imprisoned by us for so many years, will they not hate them? If it was you, wouldn't you hate it? I don't believe they're all saints! "

Lin Qingtian's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Shangfeng.

At that moment, what Xu Shangfeng saw was a gaze that he couldn't understand at all.

It wasn't the shock after being reminded by him, nor was it the confidence that he didn't care about.

At this moment, Lin Qingtian looked at him with a probing and probing gaze, carefully examining him.

Xu Shangfeng was inexplicably stunned.
