My chip disguised as a cell

Chapter 110
"Dad, where's my mother?" Li Zhi asked, and slumped down on the sofa in front of Li Xun.

Outsiders can't see that foolish look.

"Can't you sit still! Your mother is busy in the kitchen. Hmph, I don't have the chance to eat a meal cooked by your mother once in a year! Your mother will only cook when you come back!"

Li Xun's nagging and jealous appearance must have stunned those who are familiar with him.

"Hey, my mother loves me. Also, I remember when I was young, my mother was busy with work, but it was you who cooked, dad. When did you show off your skills?"

Li Zhi got up with a smile, and before Li Xun could reply, he ran towards the kitchen, apparently to flatter his mother.

"Hmph." Li Xun, who was about to talk, found his son running away, hummed a few words in displeasure, and poured himself a cup of tea.

After a while, Li Zhi came back with a smile on his face, and continued to sit on the sofa as if paralyzed.

Li Xun didn't scold him this time, and just poured a cup of tea for his son.

Only then did Li Zhi straighten his sitting posture, and started to drink tea.

As soon as he took it in, his eyes lit up: "Tsk tsk, dad, you're so willing, the tribute flying dragon actually took it out and drank it, what's the good thing?"

"Hmph, it's a celebration of your promotion to the first level of officials." Li Xun said a little arrogantly.

"Hey, Dad, do you believe that I will become a rank official soon?" Li Zhi said proudly, crossing Erlang's legs.

"Hmph, I don't care when you become a rank official! You are now a first-class official, and if you want to fulfill your promise back then, it's time to get married?" Li Xun said, staring at his son.

The smile on Li Zhi's face disappeared, and he pondered for a while, then he shook his head: "Dad, I'm still a first-class official, not a rank official yet, and we'll talk about marriage when I become a rank officer."

"What are you doing?! Back then, you promised well that you would get married as soon as you became a first-level official!" Li Xun blew his beard and stared.

"Dad, let's put it this way, I'm married now, and people are marrying under, and we will still be gossiped about climbing dragons and phoenixes."

"But if I become an official before the age of 30, everyone will say that they have found a good in-law and a good son-in-law."

"Dad, which one do you choose?" Li Zhi looked at his father and asked.

"Being a rank officer before the age of 30? Daydreams are not as good as yours!" Li Xun said disdainfully.

"Dad, this is not a dream." Li Zhi poured tea for his father and also poured himself a cup.

Li Xun didn't say a word, picked up the teacup and drank it, then motioned for Li Zhi to explain.

"Dad, when I was 25 years old, I left the capital and went to Hebin City as a fifth-level official. At that time, I decided to attack the rank officer at the age of 35." Li Zhi said.

Li Xun nodded: "It's okay, I have an accurate understanding of myself."

"Yes, at that time I was really sure that I would become a rank officer at the age of 35. I thought I had the ability."

"Indeed, if you are 35 years old and want to become a rank official, even in the capital, you are still a hero." Li Xun continued to praise.

"In the first year when I first came down, I don't know if it was because of your face, or what, I was promoted to a level, a 26-year-old fourth-level official."

"Crossed the first hurdle of the official level. I was super excited at that time, at least the obstacles for me to hit the first-level official were not there."

Li Xun didn't speak, just added tea to his son, and then listened quietly.

"In the future, I worked desperately on errands, and even fought openly and secretly for all the cases that could be handled. I dare not say how much meritorious service I have made, but it can be said that I have solved countless cases."

"It's a pity that all the credit is included in the file, and my rank is not directly promoted. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there is no major case."

"Then, at the age of 27, I became a third-level official, crossing the second hurdle of the official level."

"According to this rate of promotion, I will indeed become a first-class official at the age of 30, which is in line with my wish to become a senior official at the age of 35."

"I already feel that the future is bright, and the day when I return to Beijing is not far away."

"Then I will work harder and work harder to handle the case."

"But it's a pity that after I became a third-level official, I felt very obvious resistance, the kind of resistance that I knew was wrong but didn't know what was wrong."

Only then did Li Xun say: "Normally, as an outsider, you are desperately promoted in the land of local tyrants and desperately handle cases to reap benefits. It is strange that people don't boycott you."

"Yes, I also noticed this at the time, changed my attitude, and started to give credit to others as much as possible. I also deliberately used the tiger skin and fox of the provincial brother Uncle Chen to pretend to be a tiger."

Li Xun still interjected: "But the result didn't get better, did it?"

"Yes, it hasn't improved at all, and it's even more serious than the obstacles I encountered when I was unscrupulous." Li Zhi nodded.

Li Xun sighed at this moment: "Oh, if our Li family can have friends like you, Uncle Chen, others will naturally have friends too. But to suppress you, many people, including you, Uncle Chen, are likely to be happy to see it. "

"But there is no need to worry about this matter, everyone does things like this."

Li Zhi didn't respond to his father's words, but continued: "I was almost desperate at the time, because if this continues, let alone being a 35-year-old official, it is impossible to even be promoted to a first-level official! I even moved to other places The thought of going."

"If you go down for gilding and don't go back to the capital to overdo it, that is a failed gilding act, and your reputation will be directly ruined." Li Xun said.

"At that time, there was nothing I could do. I just didn't care about it on the surface, and I pretended that my background was so deep that I didn't care about these obstacles." Li Zhi smiled wryly.

"At the age of 28, sure enough, he didn't get promoted. Even if the list of merit records records several pages, he is the person with the most meritorious service in Hebin City, but he still hasn't been promoted."

"The reason is fair and aboveboard. You are only 28, and you were promoted to the third-level official a year ago. It is not suitable to be promoted to the second-level official, right?"

"It's so blocked that you can't say anything. After all, my credits are only in quantity, not in quality."

"Then, I met a nobleman on a special mission." Li Zhi's expression began to brighten when he said this.

"That little fellow Lin Zhendong?" Li Xun asked.

"Yes, a mission where the treasures obtained by the Special Security Department from the second-level lair were snatched by extraordinary forces, and the boss of the city department got angry."

"I immediately realized that this was an opportunity to build a good relationship with the boss of the city department. With my focus on intelligence, I immediately found Lin Zhendong who already had the nickname 'Treasure Hunter'."

"As a result, the treasure that was robbed was found back in no time. Although I didn't get promoted this time, I was completely recognized by the boss of the city department." Li Zhi laughed.

"And then there is the oolong incident with Uncle Chen, the first brother of the special security department in your provincial capital?" Li Xun asked.

Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, it's also Lin Zhendong's ability to turn this kind of incident that would have caused an uproar into an oolong incident. Although I can't be promoted to a 28-year-old second-level official, but with Uncle Chen's relationship has become closer."
