"So you're saying you're now an official?" Liu Jiayao looked Ge Dongxu up and down as if he was an alien.
High school student, billionaire, doctor, cultivator, and now an official as well.
If soone else had told her instead of seeing this man in front of her, she probably would never have believed them.
"Why are you looking at like that? Don't tell you don't recognize ?" Ge Dongxu laughed.
"So what level is this advisor position of yours?" Liu Jiayao gave Ge Dongxu a look and then couldn't help but ask again.
"Vice-ministerial level, I guess!" Ge Dongxu casually replied.
"Vice-ministerial…" Liu Jiayao's mouth dropped open, then she quickly exaggeratedly covered her mouth.
Vice-ministerial is equivalent to the level of a vice governor.
A vice-ministerial official at eighteen!
Her man was a vice-ministerial official!
It took Liu Jiayao a good while to completely digest this string of news.
"You this fellow, can you remove the word 'guess'?" after a while, Liu Jiayao looked at Ge Dongxu, who appeared calm and casual as if what he was saying was completely ordinary, and couldn't help but give Ge Dongxu a stern look as she spoke.
"Is there a problem?" Ge Dongxu asked, puzzled.
"Vice-ministerial level! And you're still so nonchalant, even stating 'guess'? You, do you realize how provoking you look?" Liu Jiayao almost gritted her teeth.
"Alright, actually, to tell the truth, I don't really want this nominal position," Ge Dongxu finally understood why Liu Jiayao was saying all this, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Liu Jiayao looked at Ge Dongxu speechlessly.
Should he be called pretentious, or acting cute after getting a bargain? Neither! This guy genuinely didn't want this vice-ministerial nominal position.
"Alright, let's pretend I didn't say anything. Let's just order so stuff and start barbecuing," Liu Jiayao was completely defeated by Ge Dongxu.
Now she fully understood that nothing that happened to this man of hers was surprising.
"Exactly, let's just order so food; that's the main thing," Ge Dongxu laughed and then called the waiter over, ordering lamb skewers, lamb ribs, chicken wings, so corn, and other barbecue items and drinks.
All these items were ready right away, and it wasn't long before the waiter brought them over.
Ge Dongxu took a few lamb skewers and chicken wings, placing them on the stove and skillfully flipping them.
"Don't tell you used to sell lamb skewers before?" Seeing Ge Dongxu's skilled movents, Liu Jiayao finally shifted her focus from the vice-ministerial level to the skewers.
"Heh, not really. But back when I was with my master, I often cooked for him, and my family does run a farmhouse restaurant, so I really do have a knack for cooking," Ge Dongxu laughed and replied.
"Ah, then I've never seen you cook for !" Liu Jiayao was surprised, and then she gave Ge Dongxu a look.
"You never give a chance! You always drag out to eat at restaurants," Ge Dongxu replied with an aggrieved face.
"Alright, next ti you co over, we'll cook ourselves," Liu Jiayao said, her eyes shining with anticipation.
"No problem at all. Just tell what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you," Ge Dongxu said.
"You're so kind!" Liu Jiayao's gaze softened involuntarily as she heard his words.
...
"Boss, who was that young guy just now? We even had to give up our seats for him, and I had just started eating!" A young man who was eating barbecue with Xu Lei in a Cherokee not far from the scenic platform asked with a reluctant face.
"Didn't you see calling him 'Director' just now?" Xu Lei turned his head and glanced at the young man.
"No way, you an he's a leader in our bureau? How old is he?" Two n and a woman in the car all widened their eyes and said in disbelief.
Because of Ge Dongxu's special identity, Fan Hong later specifically instructed Xu Lei not to monitor him and his family. Therefore, only a few key leaders in the Special Ability Managent Bureau of Jiangnan Province knew about Ge Dongxu's existence; the lower-ranked staff did not.
"Well, since you've encountered him today, I'll ntion this to you. The man just now was Ge Dongxu, our bureau's newly appointed Director-level consultant. Whenever you see him in the future, you'd better be on your best behavior, no funny faces," Xu Lei nodded and then said seriously.
Most employees of the Special Ability Managent Bureau, except a few clerical staff, were Magicians with cultivated abilities. These individuals, inherently proud because of their Mysterious Arts, were free to do what they wanted outside of missions, not bound by strict norms.
Like the three young people dining with Xu Lei today, the young man who had asked the question even had a few strands of yellow-green dyed hair, looking like soone who mixed with society. People unaware of his situation wouldn't guess that he was a governnt employee with Mysterious Arts.
The other two were similarly casual. The sole young woman among them wore jeans with several rips.
"No way? A Director-level consultant, aren't they usually all old n and won?" The young man with dyed hair said in disbelief.
"What old n and won? They are seniors from Qin!" Xu Lei couldn't help but turn around and knock on the young man's head.
"Yes, yes, seniors from Qin! But that young man just now didn't seem to have any connection with seniors at all!" The young man ducked his head and then rubbed the spot where he had been hit, saying.
"That's because you haven't seen his formidable skills. If you had, you wouldn't think so. Anyway, when you see him in the future, you must show the utmost respect. If there's any disrespect, don't bla for putting you in solitary confinent imdiately!" Xu Lei said sternly.
"Yes!" The three of them shivered slightly when Xu Lei ntioned solitary confinent, and all responded solemnly, though their eyes still showed hints of disbelief.
No wonder, they were all young and competitive. They could accept Ge Dongxu being very old, but it was hard to convince them about soone younger than themselves without seeing first-hand.
"Boss, since you say Director Ge is so powerful, why are we still sitting here?" another well-dressed young man asked.
"You really are clueless!" The other two, a man and a woman, imdiately scoffed.
"Did I say sothing wrong?" the well-dressed young man asked defiantly.
"Nonsense! What kind of place is this, with all sorts from the Nine Streams. The woman Director Ge brought..."
"Slap!" The young man hadn't finished speaking when Xu Lei raised his hand and slapped him on the head, "What kind of language is that?"
"Boss, I'm sorry! I've been hanging out with those guys too much and picked up their habits!" the young man who looked like a delinquent hurriedly apologized.
"If there's another disrespectful word, it's straight to confinent! And you're not allowed to go near those ssy places anymore," Xu Lei said with a grim face.
Joking aside, even their bureau's top boss, Director Fan, was extrely respectful toward Director Ge, treating him as a junior. Could his woman be referred to so disparagingly?
"Yes!" The young man couldn't help but shiver, and then continued, "The friend Director Ge brought is so stunning... ah... Boss, I an no disrespect; I just ant to say that Director Ge's girlfriend is beautiful."
