Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 406: Promoted to Director! ( words, please give me a monthly ticket)
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu smiled and crumpled the note into pieces, then got up and took a shower.

After washing off the traces of last night's battle, Qiu Tu put on his uniform, ate something casually, and then left Tang Feifei's villa.

The weather in the New Territories is still not good today.

Thick leaden clouds covered the sky. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting a few thin and pale rays of light, shining weakly on the city.

In the dead of winter, the air is filled with a biting chill, and every breath feels like frost condensing in the lungs.

When we arrived outside the villa, Tan Huimin was wearing a thick woolen coat, stamping her feet and rubbing her hands, waiting for Qiu Tu.

Seeing Qiu Tu coming out, she quickly smiled, then turned around and opened the car door for Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu got in the car, his eyes lingered on this well-trained young woman for a moment, then said with a smile, "Even though she is wearing such thick clothes, it still can't hide Sister Tan's beauty."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, "Director is teasing me again. I'm almost dressed like a big black bear."

She is a plump beauty with an oval face the size of a palm that looks gentle and lovely.

But thick clothes will indeed make you look a little bloated.

Qiu Tu smiled and said, "If the black bear was as beautiful as you, I would definitely keep two at home."

Just like that, after flirting with his young secretary for a few words, Qiu Tu put away his smile and sat in the back row.

The vehicle was moving slowly and Qiu Tu was quietly resting with his eyes closed, so the interior of the vehicle also remained quiet.

After driving for a few minutes, Tan Huimin coughed lightly and then suddenly spoke.

As she drove, she asked, "Director, I want to discuss something with you."

Hearing Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu closed his eyes and said "hmm" softly, "You go ahead."

Qiu Tu, who has become the deputy director, is now calm and reserved, and has the temperament of a big boss.

Although this aura was somewhat weakened by his handsome and youthful face, his strength promotion to the fourth level added a bit of pressure to him.

So, just sitting there, others looking at him would feel a sense of majesty that they could not look directly at him.

Tan Huimin carefully glanced at Qiu Tu through the rearview mirror. Then she said cautiously, "I listened to what you said a few days ago and I think what you said makes sense."

"In this world, you either have strength or you have power. Only in this way can you gain true respect."

"So, I want to start my own business."

After hearing what Tan Huimin said, Qiu Tu slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Tan Huimin and asked, "Which department do you want to go to?"

Tan Huimin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Public Security Department?"

"I'm a native of the New Territories. Although my family was... um... purged, I still have some connections left."

"During this period, because I am your secretary, some of my father's former connections have come over to me."

"With their help, I don't have much problem managing the public security in an area."

"Besides, everyone in the Exploration Agency knows that I'm your secretary, so they won't make things difficult for me."

“So, I am confident that I can achieve something.”

After hearing what Tan Huimin said, Qiu Tu glanced at Tan Huimin's loyalty: 89.

A very high number.

It also proved that it was almost impossible for her to betray herself.

And thinking about it, his power in the Public Security Department is indeed a little lacking. So Qiu Tu nodded slightly. Then he agreed, "Okay."

He said, "After today, I will make arrangements for you."

"You are now a deputy section chief. When the time comes, you will be promoted to the next level and be in charge of a public security station."

"but."

At this point, Qiu Tu changed the subject and said, "I will keep an eye on your situation from time to time."

"If you do well, I will definitely promote you. But if you don't do well, you should come back as soon as possible and continue to be my secretary."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin quickly smiled gently, "Okay, Director."

In this way, the car quickly drove to the investigation station.

Stop at the Exploration Agency office building.

Qiu Tu got out of the car, and then, accompanied by Tan Huimin, walked towards the investigation office building.

Ever since the last "siege of the evil god" incident, almost everyone in the Exploration Agency has known about the extraordinary world and extraordinary powers.

This also meant that the "news" from the previous two days was not blocked as before, but spread quietly.
So, after two days of fermentation, most of the agents in the Exploration Bureau knew that Qiu Tu had captured an evil god that only existed in legends.

Everyone also knew that Qiu Tu interrogated the evil god, obtained key clues, and helped Tang Feifei become the lord of the area.

This dispelled all the rumors that Qiu Tu was a gigolo or relied on women to get to the top.

Everyone seemed to have a new understanding of Qiu Tu: this was a man who could capture the legendary evil god and help his woman become the deputy speaker.

Therefore, wherever Qiu Tu went, he was greeted respectfully by agents and section chiefs.

Qiu Tu didn't put on airs and just nodded every time.

In this way, facing the gazes of many agents and section chiefs along the way, Qiu Tu went up to the 12th floor and returned to his office.

Back in the office, Qiu Tu just sat down.

His communicator started to vibrate.

Qiu Tu picked up the phone and saw that it was Tang Feifei calling.

Qiu Tu walked to the bed and looked at the New Territories City outside the window.

The New Territories city loses its bustlingness in winter, leaving only a sketch drawn with black and white lines, revealing a sense of loneliness and desolation.

This is the second winter that the New Territories City has experienced since it became an area to be planned.

After picking up the phone, Tang Feifei's somewhat cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "Qiu Tu?"

Qiu Tu said, "Hmm," "It's me. What happened?"

Qiu Tu calculated the time and thought Tang Feifei should still be in a meeting. So it was a bit strange to make this call.

Sure enough, after hearing what Qiu Tu said, Tang Feifei said, "Huang Shangzong gave enough compensation, but he also had some of his own ideas and arrangements."

"He knows that it's up to you whether you accept or not. So he left a ten-minute tea break in the middle of the meeting to facilitate communication between me and you."

After hearing Tang Feifei's explanation, Qiu Tu finally showed a hint of realization on his face.

Then he asked, "What compensation did Huang Shangzong give, and what conditions did he set?"

Tang Feifei, who was on the other end of the phone, was standing in a suspended corridor in the parliament building.

There is a building with more than ten floors, and pedestrians are like ants underfoot. The two sides are suspended in the air. Looking down makes one dizzy.

However, as a fourth-level Cataclysm, Tang Feifei, who already has the ability to fly, didn't care at all.

She said, "As soon as Huang Shangzong started the meeting, he mentioned your contributions to the shelter and the entire "human camp."

"Then he mentioned that the position of Director of the New Territories City Exploration Department is currently vacant, so he proposed that you take over the position of Director of the Exploration Department."

"Maybe he has his own agenda, so he is very sincere."

"——After proposing that you be appointed as the Director of the Exploration Agency, he also proposed that you should join the parliament and take up a seat on the grounds that 'New Territories City' is the core of the 'Boundless Heart Sea Development Plan'."

At this point, Tang Feifei paused, her wheat-colored face full of seriousness, "Actually, according to the normal process, after the first batch of councillors, the number of councillors can only be reduced and not increased."

"Fortunately, his excuses were good, so the deputy speakers had no objections."

"However, according to the process, the identity of additional members cannot be directly determined by the speakers of the parliament." "Instead, a written application must be submitted to the state parliament, and then the members will vote to decide during the next parliamentary session."

“So, it may take about half a month to wait.”

Qiu Tu on the other end of the phone nodded slightly after hearing this.

It seems that Huang Shangzong was able to become the Speaker not just by virtue of his military strength, but also because he has some other skills.

The whole thing was done in accordance with procedures and very beautifully. In addition, the reasons given were also very reasonable, so it was almost impossible to tell that it was a transaction.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but ask, "What are his conditions?"

Tang Feifei took a few steps in the suspended corridor, and then said with a serious face, "Huang Shangzong feels that the New Territories City Exploration Bureau is seriously short of senior staff."

"Plus, Yu Zhengyi and Lin Ting were both transferred away. So he proposed a wave of blood transfusions among the top management of New Territories City."

"There are three more high-ranking officials in the New Territories City Investigation Department. You, the Director of the Public Security Department Guan Weihua, and the Director of the Organization Department Shi Youxin."

"If we have the standard staff, we are still short of two deputy directors, the head of the special services department, the head of the administrative department, and the head of the political department."

"According to convention, the director of the administrative department, as the chief steward of the director, generally makes all decisions entirely at the discretion of the director."

"Since the Special Branch Secretary holds a great position of authority, the Director-General's opinion also carries great weight."

"So, he is targeting the positions of the two deputy directors and the head of the Secret Service Department."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think about it.

Shi Youxin is a non-stick pan, an old fox. Although he has always been scheming, Qiu Tu's evaluation of him is: forgetting righteousness when seeing small profits, and cherishing his life when doing big things.

This kind of personality is very easy for Qiu Tu to handle. It's not a big problem.

Guan Weihua
Although he was from the "academic school", he seemed to be separated from Yan Chen, Yu Zhengyi and others by a layer.

In addition, Guan Xiao is now under Qiu Tu's control and is always under Qiu Tu's control.

And witnessed Qiu Tu's rapid rise to prominence.

Therefore, Qiu Tu felt that it would not be a problem to recruit Guan Weihua under his command.

By this calculation, plus the director of the administrative department and the head of the political department who can be appointed by Qiu Tu himself, Qiu Tu has at least five votes among the eight senior officials in the New Territories City.

It was enough for him to take control of the entire Exploration Agency.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu responded, "I have no objection. I can accept it."

Tang Feifei was not surprised to hear Qiu Tu's words.

But she still said, "I guess you would accept it if this is the case. But... there is another problem with this matter."

She asked, "Do you know who Huang Shangzong nominated as the deputy director of operations?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Tang Feifei said, "It's Ellie."

Qiu Tu:!

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, and asked hesitantly, "Aili?"

Tang Feifei said, "Yeah."

She said, "Huang Shangzong didn't explain why Ai Li was promoted even though she had committed a serious crime."

"He just put forward his ideas. Then he proposed a break for tea."

Qiu Tu frowned slightly, then analyzed, "He wants to throw the problem to me."

"Let me find a reasonable reason that can be explained to the public and completely remove Ellie from this incident."

Ellie's position is the Director of the Third Division of the Aide-de-Camp. Her rotational rank is the same as that of the Deputy Director. It is a horizontal transfer.

However, as long as this process is completed, it will prove that the "releasing Lajiro incident" is completely over.

'This is an open deal.'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have no objection to Ai Li becoming the deputy director of operations."

"As for how to pick her out?"

"I think we can explain this to the public by saying that everything before was a misunderstanding. This was originally a drill for the evil god to escape."

"Anyway, given Lajiro's status and importance, 99% of the people in the Exploration Agency can't get in touch with her."

"So this lie is not afraid of being exposed."

"Besides, Lajiro might come back in a while." Of course, Qiu Tu didn't say the last sentence.

At this time, hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

She said, "Actually, it would be more beneficial for you to be the deputy director, Ellie."

"After all, when she was the director of the Third Division of the Attendant's Office, she was no match for you."

"Now that I'm your subordinate, I can do whatever you want with me."

Hearing Tang Feifei's ambiguous words, Qiu Tu couldn't help but think of the scene where he squeezed and flattened Tang Feifei's soft body last night.
As for that feel, Qiu Tu could only say that only he and Liu Fuping knew how good it was.
As for Ellie
To be honest, Qiu Tu was also very interested.

He was not interested in the twin tails that increased attack speed, but was interested in the fake friendship between Ellie and the other two girls.

He was really curious about what would happen to these three girls in the future. Would something interesting happen?
A gambler, a yandere, and a contrast.
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel undercurrents.

Just like that, he hung up the phone. Qiu Tu stood quietly by the window for a while, then returned to his desk to handle official business.

Just like that, in a flash, the morning passed.

In the afternoon, a piece of heavyweight news came to New Territories City along with the end of the Dongye State Speaker's Meeting.

After being nominated by Dongye State Speaker Huang Shangzong and discussed at the Speaker's Meeting, Qiu Tu officially became the Director of the New Territories City Exploration Department.

There is no "acting" character, it is directly called director.

This news shocked the entire New Territories City.

After all, the Director of the Exploration Agency is one of the three giants in the New Territories City!
He is the person who truly stands at the top of the power pyramid.

To use the words that Ye Mingfeng once used to mock a city hall director: You may have someone above you, but I don’t have anyone above me.

In New Territories City, the Big Three rule the roost.

So when the world changes, everyone knows that New Territories City will usher in a new era.
But no one knows whether this era is good or bad.

Therefore, all kinds of news were flying everywhere. And Qiu Tu once again became the focus of attention of all forces in New Territories.
Along with this news came another even more important piece of news.

That is because the New Territories City is so important for the "Boundless Heart Sea Development Plan", so after discussion, several speakers decided to add Qiu Tu as a member of the council.

It was decided to formally vote on it at the regular meeting of the state legislature in half a month.

After the establishment of Dongye Province, various forces have studied the situation after the establishment of other states.

We all know that the number of MPs has only decreased and not increased in the past few years.

Now, they have made an exception and decided to add Qiu Tu as a member of parliament. This news is indeed surprising.

Especially. Some time ago, Huang Shangzong also said: Unless Qiu Tu makes great contributions, he cannot be promoted within three years.

As a result, within just one or two months, Qiu Tu was first promoted to deputy director and now director.

Then they will be added as members of parliament.

Huang Shangzong's face was slapped like a pig's head.

Therefore, many well-informed people wanted to find out what was going on.

Of course, they couldn't find out any information related to the "Yellow Phantom" with their information, so they naturally found out what happened during the Speaker's meeting two days ago.
