The Witch's Taste

Chapter 77 Loyal and Reliable
Shi Di himself was born as an artist and is very talented in artistic creation, so he also likes those talented and intelligent young juniors, such as Tsukimiya Suzuna, the daughter of Tsukimiya Kiyomasa.

In the early years, he had the idea of ​​making Tsukimiya Suzuna his daughter-in-law, so he approached Tsukimiya Kiyomasa with great interest.

Yuegong Qingzheng pushed that he would not interfere with his daughter's freedom of love, so Shi Di called Yuegong Lingnai again, and this smart girl only said a witty thing, which made Shi Di laugh and gave up the idea at the same time:
"Does Uncle Shi want me to change my name to Shi Lingnai? I think it's a bit unpleasant..."

You should know that island women have the custom of changing their husband's surname after marriage, but Lu women do not.

In the case of intermarriage between the Lu and Dao races, whether the wife changes her husband's surname is of course irrelevant to ordinary people, but it is not the case for aristocratic families.After all, changing the surname is more used for "adoption" on the Lu side, which is equivalent to adding to the family tree, and the Shi family will never allow an island girl to enter the family tree of the Shi family.

But if the surname is not changed, in the eyes of the conservative island people, there is a possibility that it will constitute disrespect for the traditional customs of the island people, and it may even imply "you are not worthy of the surname Shi", meaning that the Shi family looks down on the island people... Moon Palace What Suzuna said "is not good" implies that the public opinion of the island people is against it.

In fact, a few years ago, a well-known member of the Lu ethnic group married an island ethnicity wife and asked her to change her surname, which caused a lot of trouble among the people.

The people of the Lu nationality think that this is an insult to women, while the people of the island people think that he is playing machismo and trying to embarrass the people of the island people... In short, when it comes to such uncommon things, all kinds of messy people have to follow the rhythm It's too easy, no one knows what the people with clear thinking think, anyway, it's best not to touch it.

Thinking of convincing the group of old antiques in the clan, Shi Di quickly dismissed this troublesome idea, but he also admired Yuegong Lingna more and more, so this time he saw it at the wedding scene, so he asked his secretary to come over and ask her to have a chat .

Song Mingyuan called her personally, of course Yue Gong Lingnai couldn't answer, so he just cursed inwardly, talked to Chen Zi'ang, Song Xi and the others, and followed Song Mingyuan to the upper room.

"Lingna." Shi Di greeted her cordially, "I heard that you graduated this year and just started working. How do you feel?"

Tsukimiya Suzuna smiled and said:

"It's okay, the work of the Public Security Department is very challenging, and I like it very much."

Of course, she couldn't directly tell Shi Di about Yongjian's status at the horse farm.

First of all, Shi Di's appreciation for her is purely the elder's love for the younger generation.Sowing discord in front of this kind of elder who admires you but is actually unfamiliar with you is the kind of unclear, stupid mistake that many people often make, and it will seriously consume the relationship that has not been established between the two parties—even if Shi Di didn't care about this, the shrewd Song Mingyuan was also there!

Secondly, the level gap between the governor of the star region and the head of the public security department is too big, it's like going to the emperor to sue a county magistrate... Maybe it's cool to write in a drama, but in fact the emperor will probably feel that it's a drop in price: that's it?For such a small person, you came here to waste my time?

In the end, although she didn't expect to meet the Governor of the Star District here, this did not prevent the clever and witty Suzuna Tsukimiya from giving some eye drops to the annoying idiot.

"Are you working in the Public Security Department?" Shi Di suddenly became interested, "I guess, it's the search class?"

"It's Countermeasures Lesson [-]." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile.

When it came to the sixth lesson of countermeasures, Shi Di remembered the topic discussed just now, and frowned impatiently.

Yuegong Suzuna and Song Mingyuan read out this slight change in facial expression at the same time, and the latter immediately smiled and said:

"Really? It's not easy to get into the sixth class. It seems that you have a unique talent in this area."

This reminded Shi Di: The Sixth Class of Countermeasures is different from other classrooms. It requires members to have a deep knowledge and understanding of the mysterious side, which seems to have exceeded the ability of Yuegong Qingzheng... What's more, who would send his daughter to him? To learn a kind of taboo knowledge that "the more you know, the more dangerous you are"?
Even bureaucrats at the level of Shi Di and Song Mingyuan, whose status and power determine that they must know that "there is a mysterious side in the world", but they tacitly do not want to know more, but regard it as some kind of "locust plague", For special disasters such as "epidemics", people from the Public Security Department have to come over regularly to check their spirits.

"No way." Yue Gong Suzuna said seriously, "If we don't do some things, no one will do them."

Shi Di wanted to subconsciously say, "There will be no shortage of you", after all, it would be a pity for a beautiful and smart young man like Yue Gong Suzuna to engage in such a high-risk job, but he soon thought of the security system At present, there is indeed a serious shortage of professional manpower who can fight against the mystery.

"But it should be easier recently, right?" Song Mingyuan said with a smile.

Suzuna Yuegong quickly became vigilant, thinking to herself that I hadn't started taking eye drops yet, why did this old fox see the clue and handed me the conversation?

Confidential secretary Song Mingyuan always smiles when talking to people, but his ability to calculate people is also first-class. The so-called "a knife hidden in a smile" is very appropriate.

Probably only his daughter, Song Xi, can communicate with him without any precautions - anyway, my father won't harm me, and it's fine if he tricks me.

Although it was clear that there must be something wrong with it, Tsukimiya Suzuna couldn't judge it for a while, and could only roughly assume that this intention had nothing to do with her, so she said casually:
"Well, the director cooperates with private organizations and subcontracts a large number of cases. Recently, there is really not much work to do, and I don't know if those people can do it well."

Although what she said was true, words such as "non-governmental organization", "subcontracting" and "no work" undoubtedly hit Shi Di's most dissatisfied point.

You know, the Democratic First Party, which is now in opposition, is making a big fuss about these topics, mobilizing public opinion to disgust him!
The last sentence "Can you do it well" is a sinister backstab.If it is not done well, whose responsibility is it?
"The quality of non-government institutions is relatively uneven, and it really needs to be carefully screened and screened." Song Mingyuan said with a smile, "If you really encounter an important case, you still have to act, so you have to prepare well at ordinary times and don't slack off."

Yue Gong Ling Nai said yes again and again, and exchanged a few pleasantries with Shi Di obediently, fulfilling the greetings of the younger generation, and then left.

She hasn't forgotten what the real purpose of this trip is - find a senior to post it!

After Yuegong Lingnai left, Shi Di frowned and said unhappily:
"Indeed, even if we find a private institution to temporarily alleviate the problem of shortage of manpower, the hidden dangers of quality control have increased instead."

"Mingyuan, since you mentioned this matter, you must have a solution already, right?"

Song Mingyuan said modestly:
"Your Excellency, the job of the confidential secretary is just to check for gaps in your wise decision-making, so there is no solution. It can only be said to be some shallow ideas of mine for your reference."

"First of all, it is an expedient measure to cooperate with civil institutions. Of course, such important businesses involving national security must be in our own hands and controlled by truly reliable people."

"That's right." Shi Di subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, the members of the Security Committee are experienced, thoughtful, mature and prudent, and they are trustworthy..."

"So." Shi Di interrupted him suddenly, "You want to separate this business from the security system?"

"The security system is a professional organization for maintaining social security." Song Mingyuan said with a smile, "And this matter involves national security. From the perspective of power and responsibility, although I believe that the security committee is undoubtedly capable of coordinating this aspect work, but in the end there are more suitable professional institutions.”

"You mean the Intelligence Bureau?" Shi Di thought carefully for a moment, then frowned, "The Intelligence Bureau...I mean, they have always been with the Qin family..."

"That happens to be appointed by you, Governor." Song Mingyuan's smile became brighter, and he said fluently in a calm but forceful tone, "After all, this matter is more harmful and involves a lot, and it seriously affects all sectors of society. At the national level, it has even entered a state of national emergency. It is urgent and needs to be resolved. Therefore, it is necessary for you, the Governor, to plan strategies and personally command. In this crucial position, install a loyal and reliable cadre."

"Well... yes, that's right, that's it." Shi Di finally caught up with his train of thought, and murmured, "Loyalty and reliability are very important qualities, indeed... and it's an intelligence bureau after all."

He suddenly supported the table with his arms, tilted his upper body, moved closer to Song Mingyuan, and said with a dry smile:

"Mingyuan, I already know who you're talking about. But you might as well announce the answer first, and then I'll see if it's the person I expected."

Song Mingyuan's smile remained unchanged, and he leaned over to whisper a few words, only to see Shi Di's eyes light up:
"That's right, it's her!"
