"Okay, I'll speak to Fan Hong. He should contact you later to arrange a eting ti," Elder Feng said solemnly, privately breathing a sigh of relief.
If Ge Dongxu really wanted to refuse, with Elder Feng's authority he could have suppressed the matter, but doing so would have been of no benefit to Ge Dongxu.
After sighing in relief, Elder Feng rembered Dongxu's rather helpless reply and couldn't help shaking his head with a mix of laughter and tears.
Just eighteen years old and already holding a nominal position equivalent to that of a deputy minister, sothing countless people could never achieve in their lifeti of striving in the officialdom, and there his junior brother was, obtaining it so easily, yet unwilling.
If others knew about it, they would be frustrated enough to cough up blood.
Soon, Elder Feng put away his smile tinged with helplessness and his expression beca sowhat stern as he called out, "Co in."
"Chief." Fan Hong entered, respectfully greeting in a low voice.
"I've already spoken to Dongxu, and he has agreed. But rember what I said, he's still just a child, he just wants to live an ordinary life, so don't disturb him unnecessarily," Elder Feng said with a serious deanor, his tone solemn.
"Thank you, Chief. I will not disturb him unless absolutely necessary. Actually, for a master like him, unless it's a major issue, he would generally not need to be called upon," Fan Hong replied, greatly relieved, yet in his heart, he felt a mix of laughter and tears. With his re gestures, this head of the Special Ability Managent Bureau and all his capable subordinates were rendered immobile. In just over a year, he amassed a fortune counting in the billions. Could this be the actions of a re child?
But whether he's a child or not isn't the key point; the crucial thing is that Ge Dongxu has finally agreed to serve as a consultant for the Special Ability Managent Bureau.
With this, not only has the Bureau acquired a monstrously powerful expert, but they've also effectively brought Ge Dongxu under surveillance. Fan Hong felt relieved at last.
"Is Dongxu really that formidable? To the point that you're so anxious to have him join the Special Ability Managent Bureau?" Elder Feng asked in disbelief, seeing how much Fan Hong had relaxed.
Elder Feng certainly knew that Ge Dongxu was formidable, but his knowledge was limited, and he still believed that, given Dongxu's young age, there would be limits to his capabilities. It seed excessive for Fan Hong to be so anxious, even willing to offend him, a forr peak figure of Huaxia Country, just to recruit Dongxu to the Bureau.
"Chief, these past years, our nation has spent a considerable amount to strengthen the supervision and control over Qin, recruiting so masters. Therefore, our Bureau can boast an abundance of talent. Apart from a few sects like Mount Lao and Dragon Tiger Mountain, and so reclusive figures who remain hidden, we possess the absolute strength to manage and control issues that arise. But for other sects and loose cultivators, we have the capability for absolute control. However, the combined strength of everyone in our Bureau is probably not enough to withstand a sweep from your junior brother. If we were to suppress him, our usual thods would definitely fail, and we'd have to deploy the military," Fan Hong replied with a bitter smile, revealing a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.
Even as Elder Feng acknowledged Dongxu's might, he couldn't help but gasp sharply at these words, finally understanding why Fan Hong was so anxious about Ge Dongxu.
His junior brother's abilities were indeed terrifying!
"Given that, you must treat the situation with caution. He is still young, and with the capabilities he has shown so far, even if he has no interest in a political career, as long as he maintains his current pure and honest heart, he will surely help the country in tis of need. But if you pressure him with authority, causing him to beco resentful, it will be counterproductive," said Elder Feng seriously after a long silence.
"Fan Hong understands, which is why I asked for your intervention, Chief. You are his senior brother and have an easier way to communicate with him," Fan Hong replied with equal seriousness.
"That's good. I'm now aware of the situation, and I will also strengthen my contact with him. You may go," Elder Feng nodded and said.
"Yes, then I'll take my leave. Take care, Chief." Elder Feng bowed slightly and then left the room, departing from the courtyard residence.
Leaving the Siheyuan, Fan Hong made a phone call to Ge Dongxu from inside a Cherokee displaying a special military license plate.
"Mr. Ge, Elder Feng just told that you're willing to take a position at our bureau. I would like to express my gratitude here," Fan Hong said politely, his tone laced with a hint of respect and without a hint of the arrogance that one might expect from a director given his young age and the newly conferred title within the bureau.
"Heh, Director Fan has already approached my senior brother, what else could I possibly do?" Ge Dongxu said, clearly reluctant, a trace of dissatisfaction apparent in his voice.
"Mr. Ge, you're being too serious. You know with your high level of cultivation, it's difficult for soone in my position," Fan Hong quickly apologized.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this matter. Director Fan, I'm sure you didn't call just to talk about this matter, right?" Ge Dongxu wasn't a person to hold grudges, knowing the difficulties of Fan Hong's position, he didn't wish to question him further.
"Thank you, Mr. Ge. I called to ask when you might be available so I could go to Changxi County to et with you. There are so docunts and matters, including the incident at Xiaoyuan Mountain, that need to be explained and discussed with you in person," Fan Hong said courteously.
"Since that's the case, I'll find a weekend to fly to Beijing. After all, you are the Director, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to make a special trip to Changxi County," Ge Dongxu said, his grievances dissipating as he noted Fan Hong's good attitude.
"You're taking my title too seriously, Mr. Ge. I'm only a director in the eyes of others. It's better not to ntion it in front of you. Besides, you're busy with your studies, and we were at fault for the last incident, so I should be the one to co to you," Fan Hong hastily said.
Seeing Fan Hong respond like this, Ge Dongxu stopped being polite and said with a chuckle, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Fan."
"You're too kind, Mr. Ge," Fan Hong said.
After that, the two of them agreed to et on Friday night and hung up the phone.
In the car, with the call ended, Director Fan Hong finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
Ge Dongxu's attitude was much better than he had expected.
But for Ge Dongxu, who had just hung up the phone, his feelings were still complicated.
This high school student had beco a public official, and his rank was even on a par with that of Director Fan Hong.
…
On Friday night, Ge Dongxu t with Director Fan Hong at the Changxi Grand Hotel.
Accompanying Fan Hong were his assistant and bodyguard, as well as Xu Lei, the Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau of Jiangnan Province and, at the sa ti, the Head of the Special Ability Managent Bureau of Jiangnan Province. However, this latter title was only known to internal mbers.
