Hearing the tall and thin Council mber's words, his assistant blinked and asked with total confusion, "Six gifts?"
The tall and thin Council mber's expression beca serious, "What's the problem? Is there anything wrong with an elder who has old ties with the Si Family sending blessings to the younger generation?"
The assistant hurriedly shook his head, "No, no."
Although he said that, the assistant couldn't help but feel puzzled: he couldn't rember any old ties his boss had with the Si Family. Plus... didn't his boss mock Fang Ze for half a day after receiving his gift yesterday?
Sensing his assistant's hesitation, the tall and thin Council mber could not be bothered to explain any more and just waved his hand, dismissing the assistant.
Once the assistant had left, however, he looked out the window, muttering to himself, "Can one simply avoid a calamity star? Would it still be called a calamity star if it could be avoided?"
"Since it can't be avoided, might as well take this opportunity to gain so goodwill."
"Who knows, it might turn into soone else's calamity star."
Thinking to this point, he couldn't help but recall the Council mber he had advised on the phone to keep a distance from Fang Ze, and he smiled to himself, whispering, "Can't have too many smart people."
What he didn't know was that the Council mber on the other end of the phone, after hanging up, also made the sa arrangents after pondering for a while....
....
anwhile, at the Provincial Governnt. The office building of the Provincial Governnt.
The Second Committee's office.
Councilor Jia sat in his chair with a deeply furrowed brow, "The Chairperson has co forward? It seems like a serious matter indeed."
"Could it be that Old Huang really is compromised? A personal traitor?"
At this thought, Councilor Jia couldn't help but recall how close he had been with Councilor Huang over the years, and a fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
He stood up, pacing the room restlessly, thinking about how to probe for information or sohow fix the situation.
As he thought, his mind turned to Fang Ze!
Two days ago, he had thought it suspicious that Fang Ze would et with so many Council mbers on such short notice, but he couldn't figure out why, assuming it was just because Fang Ze was naive about the ways of the world, having grown up in a small place!
Now it seed that Fang Ze was making puppets of dozens of Council mbers!
"If I'm not mistaken, Fang Ze must be involved in this matter, perhaps even one of the decision-makers!"
"He must know many details, or have a certain degree of influence!"
"Go see him!"
As he thought this, Councilor Jia suddenly felt grateful that he had sent two Extraordinary Artifacts to Fang Ze the day before yesterday, leaving a sliver of goodwill. Otherwise, considering his actions that day, he wouldn't even have a chance to visit Fang Ze today!
...
At the sa ti. Hu Family residence.
The Tiger King also had a face full of regret.
Who would have thought that the person who was privately mocked by most Council mbers for lacking manners and disgracing the nobility a few days ago had suddenly turned into the mighty boss behind the scenes with the scythe of the Grim Reaper in hand.
And thinking of the thirty clan mbers he had lent out, Tiger King suddenly felt less heartache....
.....
anwhile....
At the Five-Star Hotel, Room 616.
Fang Ze stared at all the gifts in the room, as well as the visitation cards. He was a bit baffled.
He had thought that once the news broke out, the Council mber's impressions of him would change drastically. He had even prepared to be isolated in the province, but instead... what was with these 35 Council mbers sending over 60 gifts?
Is human nature really like this?
Shaking his head in amazent, Fang Ze casually stacked the gifts to one side. He had no intention of unwrapping them or eting any of the Council mbers: the female Director had given him enough hints. He also wanted to use this rare free ti to sort out the affairs of Erald City.
Thinking this, Fang Ze picked up his phone and dialed the special line for the Security Bureau. Soon, at Fang Ze's request, the special line was transferred to the office of the Erald City Director.
Fang Ze wasn't there, but Little You was quite diligent. The call connected within a few seconds.
"Hello, this is the office of the Erald City Director. How may I help you?"
Hearing Little You's sweet voice, Fang Ze directly said, "It's , Little You."
There was a brief pause on the other end, followed by an excited response, "Director?!"
Fang Ze humd in response, then asked Little You, "Little You, do you have any family in Erald City?"
Little You didn't understand why Fang Ze was asking this, she hesitated for a mont, then answered, "Director, I only have an aunt in Erald City. She raised since I was young."
Fang Ze had already checked Little You's background, so he wasn't surprised. He humd again, then said, "How about coming to work in the Provincial Governnt? Still in the Security Bureau, still as my secretary. If you can do it, I can arrange for your aunt to co to the Provincial Governnt later."
The Provincial Governnt was a place that people from all high and low-level cities dream of! From birth, they knew it was the essence of a province! There they have technologies unseen even in high-level cities, countless luxury cars, mansions, skyscrapers! There's exquisite food, beautiful clothes, ample entertainnt, and even just living in the city guarantees a monthly basic living stipend, ensuring at least freedom from worry about food and clothing!
There are no gangs, no Disaster Creatures, none of the various sses! Even in the face of unpredictable Disasters, the Provincial Governnt would always serve as the last bastion!
So, considering this, Little You barely hesitated before eagerly saying, "Director! I am interested!"
