After returning to Jinping, Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing returned to their permanent apartment first to pack their bags.
As soon as I opened the door to the apartment, I could smell the familiar smell of champagne.
"surprise!"
As a cheerful voice sounded, the lights in the hall suddenly lit up, colorful strips flew, and the music played a light and pleasant melody. The long table in the restaurant was lit with candlelight, and the aroma of meat from the dinner stimulated the taste buds of the two people at the door.
Xue Yang created the effect of a welcome party with his own efforts alone.
At this time, he was wearing a trendy casual suit and opened his arms to Jiang Qian: "Welcome home! Brother!"
Jiang Qian reluctantly cooperated with Xue Yang's welcome ceremony, and before the man tried to turn to Ye Xiaojing, he interrupted his bold move in time: "Did you dress up so coquettishly, did you become a regular employee in advance?"
Xue Yang turned his head with some sorrow, and corrected him with a solemn and solemn expression: "What are you talking about, Old Jiang? This is obviously a carefully prepared welcome ceremony to celebrate your promotion to a powerful person and the return of Sister Xiaojing from the army! By the way, this is a welcome ceremony. I'm just telling you the news that I will become a full-time employee in advance..."
"As expected, it's a waste." Jiang Qian said perfunctorily, and at the same time stroked Ye Xiaojing's waist. The latter smiled and pushed the suitcase inside.
"Nothing is unexpected, I'm very sincere, okay!"
Xue Yang rolled his eyes at the new dignitaries unconvinced, and then took the luggage from Ye Xiaojing's hand with a smile on his face: "Alas, Sister Xiaojing, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
A burst of busy work.
When the three of them sat back at the dining table, the dishes were still hot.
Xue Yang was full of curiosity about Jiang Qian's promotion to a powerful person, and he was very excited and endless during the interrogation.
"No! I can't even imagine that kind of elimination rate... But the tribe summoning trick is too cool, and the Beast King! Darling, you actually got the Beast King... I heard that it was only extremely cool. Advanced combat preparations only possessed by a few powerful people!"
Xue Yang stared at Jiang Qian with longing, but what he was thinking about was the scene of lingering with his beloved Xiaohong.
"Xue Yang, I will return the summoned wind chime to you in a few days. There was an accident during the promotion and it may need to be repaired." Jiang Qian apologized.
"It's okay, just take it, I won't need it for the time being." Xue Yang said generously.
Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the problem is not the summoned wind chime, but the Kraken sea monster that was summoned...it is not sure whether it is still alive.
During the training island, all aspects were strictly controlled. After Jiang Qian returned, he never had the opportunity to enter the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" to check the survival status of the Kraken sea monster.
His plan was that if the summoning wind chime was really broken, he would give Xue Yang a new prop as compensation. This item does not necessarily have to reach the rare quality of summoning wind chimes, but it must make up for Xue Yang's shortcomings and be practical.
"By the way, after your promotion this time, you will be promoted again, right?"
"Probably, I'm waiting for notification." Jiang Qian slowly filled his mouth with delicious food and chatted leisurely.
“Ah...envy!”
Jiang Qian stopped hastily: "You, Sister Xiaojing, have been a powerful person for a long time."
"Pfft! Ahem!" Xue Yangren was a little stupid, "Sister Xiaojing has been a powerful person for a long time? Then sister Xiaojing, why do you want to recognize you as the leader?"
"Probably because I'm handsome." Jiang Qiandan said calmly.
"Fuck, how is this possible?"
"Everything is possible." Jiang Qian pushed Ye Xiaojing with his elbow, "right?"
"...Huh?" Ye Xiaojing was startled, put down the phone, raised his head, and pushed the screen down.
Xue Yang happily repeated Jiang Qian's arrogant remarks. As a result, Ye Xiaojing became more and more calm as he listened. Finally, he simply raised the corners of his mouth and replied with a deep smile: "Yeah, that's it, I'm a nymphomaniac." .”
"Isn't it? Sister Xiaojing!"
However, Ye Xiaojing declined politely: "You are too handsome and ostentatious, and you would feel insecure outside. He is different. He is so handsome that he is just in the range where I both admire and feel at ease."
Xue Yang suddenly felt mixed emotions: "Sure enough, I am too obviously handsome. Yes, you really blame me for this."
The three of them ended their dinner happily.
While washing the dishes, Xue Yang also dragged Jiang Qianbai to work: "The internship work at the Wanzhong Group Biological Center is really not done by humans! I am a related party, and you have the nerve to instruct me to do odd jobs. It's really unreasonable."
"You can fish."
"No, you don't know," Xue Yang explained to Jiang Qian in a very depressed tone, "Teacher Zhang is here too!"
Jiang Qian smiled: "So your work is all assigned by Teacher Zhang?"
"Yes! If I dare to fish, how can I be safe at the end of this semester?!" Xue Yang's expression was distorted, struggling, entangled, and then relieved, "Fortunately, I will be transferred soon."
"When will you be transferred?"
"Just for these two days, yes, I'll lend you your bus. I have a lot of stuff, so you can help me pick it up." Xue Yang made the request unceremoniously.
Jiang Qian put away the washed dishes, shook off the water on his hands, and asked, "You let a powerful person be your driver?"
Xue Yang was startled, then smiled evilly and showed the call record on his cell phone to Jiang Qian: "My sister and aunt have often called me recently to ask me about your current situation, but every time I report it according to what you told me, you said Did I do the right thing?"
The air was quiet for a moment.
"You did a good job." Jiang Qian's expression remained unchanged, "Send me the time of your trip, and I will respond on time."
When he returned to his room at night, Jiang Qian found Ye Xiaojing standing quietly in front of the corridor window, looking worried.
So he walked over and hugged his slender waist from behind: "What's wrong?"
While eating, I noticed that she was a little absent-minded.
Ye Xiaojing did not beat around the bush, turned his cheek and said: "Jiang Qian, Ji Ming sent me a letter of intent for a new appointment. He is the deputy director of the Jinping Operations Department. He said you know this."
After speaking, she watched Jiang Qian's reaction.
"Yeah, I know. I think it's reasonable. Are you not satisfied?" Jiang Qian approached Ye Xiaojing's ear from behind, his breath falling on her earlobe, and the girl's body trembled slightly.
In fact, Ji Ming's original intention was for Jiang Qian to inform Ye Xiaojing, because Jiang Qian was currently Ye Xiaojing's direct superior, but Jiang Qian felt that it was more appropriate for Ji Ming, as the head of the Operations Department, to be directly appointed to the deputy department.
"Not very satisfied." Ye Xiaojing muttered.
"Because Ji Ming is not in your aesthetic range?"
"Come on, tell the truth, when will your appointment come?" Ye Xiaojing ignored Jiang Qian's teasing, but was eager to know where Jiang Qian would go.
"I haven't decided on mine yet. I guess there will be news after I go to Beijing to study." Jiang Qian said.
Ye Xiaojing was speechless.
Jiang Qian knew what Ye Xiaojing was thinking, so he continued: "Do you feel uncomfortable leaving me now? I have become a polished commander, but you have been promoted step by step."
Ye Xiaojing's breathing tightened and he stopped talking.
"That's not the case. Based on my recent contribution to the license holder's officialdom, they can give me a lot of job options, which are not necessarily lower than the position of deputy director of branch operations. At present, it should be entangled in the relationship between the parties. There is no After we reached an agreement, I didn’t decide where I would go next.”
Jiang Qian continued:
"Actually, I am very satisfied. The position of Deputy Operations Department matches your qualifications. After accumulating for a period of time, it is natural for you to be promoted to the Five States. In this way, you can stay in Jinping for a long time and the distance between us will not be too big. Far."
"Furthermore, once you are confirmed as the deputy minister, you will be the second-largest figure in the Operations Department after Ji Ming, and the information and resources you have will be greatly expanded. I will count on you to help me more."
Although Ye Xiaojing agreed with what Jiang Qian said, it was still difficult to get interested: "Jiang Qian, do you know? If the two of us are boyfriend and girlfriend, and I really take the position of deputy director of Jinping Operations Department , then you are unlikely to get a satisfactory position in Tianjin."
This is an unspoken rule within the license holder’s official organization: in order to avoid risks, both parties in a close relationship are not allowed to hold important positions in the same department at the same time.
"Even if this is the case, will you still be satisfied?" Ye Xiaojing asked.
"Satisfied. There are too many things in the Operations Department. Just give me an unimportant idle position. When the time comes, you will be in charge of the outside and I will be in charge of the house. It will be a great pleasure!"
"Fuck you, go away."
"Don't leave, go inside."
"Inside?...Hmm~"
The sound of the zipper, the door curtain being raised, and the door slamming against each other, a little impatient - the evolved animal nature has unexpectedly raised the threshold.
…
The next day.
Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing appeared at the Jinping Special Affairs Center on time, which immediately aroused overt and covert onlookers and discussions.
"Qianlong Wuyong is back! Long time no see, this guy seems to be handsome again~"
"Oh, you really...pay attention to your wording and call yourself Qianlong Master!"
"It's not easy. Those little bitches on the forum even said they envied us! In fact, Qianlong Wuyong doesn't come to the unit very often. He's really either on a mission or on the way to a mission..."
"That's right, I haven't seen you for a month, and I've been promoted to a powerful person! What's the saying? Not seeing you for one day is like three autumns~"
"Damn it! Don't use this promotion speed for Qianlong. One day is like three autumns."
"I think back when we debuted, why didn't we take advantage of his good Feng Shui..."
The discussions inside and outside here include not only the envy and jealousy of male colleagues, but also the adoration and admiration of female colleagues.
Including a small number of middle and high-level leaders whose positions are above Jiang Qian! What they envied most was Jiang Qian's youth. He was a talented young man who was very promising. At his prime, he had the strength and resources that many people never had when they struggled for a long time.
In their eyes, Jiang Qian is lucky and can be called the chosen one.
After all, most people will only focus on the attention, fame and fortune Jiang Qian has gained, and selectively ignore the twists and turns and life and death moments he experienced in these few short months.
After meeting with colleagues in the same department, Ye Xiaojing and Jiang Qianqian separated in the corridor.
One went to Ji Ming's office for an interview about the appointment; the other went to the logistics department to repair and evaluate the props.
After going through the promotion ceremony, some of Jiang Qian's props were worn to varying degrees and needed timely maintenance and repair.
The related maintenance and repair costs are not cheap, and there is no cap on starting at six figures. But this part of the cost does not need to be spent by Jiang Qian. The official pays the majority, and the regular employees only need to pay a nominal fraction.
There are many official internal benefits and conveniences like this, which are privileges that casual cultivators can only hope for.
After simultaneously communicating with the logistics department about identification methods and the identification conclusions of some props, Jiang Qian had a clearer understanding of the current prop reserves.
Currently, among the props he holds:
Suspected clergy props: 2 pieces/set; they are: Gate of Time and Space (imitation), Key of Time and Space*6.
The reason why I say "suspected" is because these two sets of props are not suitable for identification and discussion, and it is Jiang Qian's own judgment.
Needless to say, the Key of Time and Space is used in conjunction with the Gate of Time and Space. According to its "functional attributes", it is a medium that can travel through parallel worlds. It is obviously a high-level product of the concept of time.
The imitation of the Gate of Time and Space is suspected to be a clerical prop due to its "rare attribute" of being able to travel back and forth to the instance world repeatedly for a long time.
Powerful props: 6 pieces/set; they are: town tourmaline, Beidou button camera, purple gold gourd, pen, children's water gun, summoning bagpipe.
Among them, the purple gold gourd and the house tourmaline are among the high-end props for the powerful. Needless to say, the children's water gun, which is a prohibited item, is effective.
The other three models are all at least average or above.
Yes, Jiang Qian always thought that the tsundere pen was a regular and top-notch pen, but in fact it was a prop for the powerful.
Because he did not reach the level of high-level dignitaries, he was allowed to be brought into the promotion ceremony of the Card King Competition and the Territory King Competition.
The reason why Tsundere Pen was initially willing to "surrender" to Jiang Qian, who only had two states, was entirely due to fate! It is still deeply fascinated by the strange energy stored in Jiang Qian.
Regular props: 10 pieces/group; they are: Quest Notes, Little Devil Suit, Mysterious Glasses, Chivalrous Cloak, Invisibility Cloak, Rebound Handkerchief, True Spiritual Spider Web, True Living Glue, Four-panel Display Window, Ice Blue Bone Erosion Knife.
There is nothing much to say, almost all of them are the best or best among conventional props.
To sum up, his prop reserves are astonishing and the quality is the envy of others!
Knowing this, Jiang Qian made precise arrangements for the two prop upgrade opportunities in his life.
In addition, the Logistics Department’s assessment of the summoning bagpipe concluded that there was no damage and no need for repair.
This means that either the Kraken is safe and sound, or the Kraken's death is separate from the use of the bagpipes, i.e. the next time the bagpipes are used, it will be another Kraken... which is good news, but Further observation and verification of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" is needed.
After returning from the logistics department, Ye Xiaojing has also gone through a formal interview and started to implement the transfer process approval.
"Did it go well? What conditions did Ji Ming offer you?"
"The conditions offered by Ji Ming are good, much higher than what I received in Donghai, and the requirements are within a reasonable range. It's surprisingly easy."
"That's because he's not yet confident about entrusting you with a heavy responsibility. Let's get used to it first."
After the two met again, they walked to the garage and exchanged what they had gained from this trip.
"What about you, have you taken care of all the props?"
The two of them got into the car. Although Ye Xiaojing had changed jobs, he still habitually sat in the driving position.
"It's done."
Jiang Qian fastened his seat belt and asked with an expression of enjoyment:
"What about you, how are you thinking about it?"
Ye Xiaojing was slightly startled, then blushed: "What's going on..."
"You agreed to accompany me home to meet my parents. You promised me last night, and you still played with amnesia with me?"
Ye Xiaojing blinked, surprised: Does the joke between the bed curtains also count?
Jiang Qian seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and said in a calm tone: "You have no joke."
