Chapter 417 Qiu Tu: Yes, I am the lord of the region ( words asking for monthly tickets)

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's brain started racing, thinking about how to answer this question.

Admit that you like it?

Qiu Tu believed that with Mr. Tang's status, Mr. Tang should know clearly what kind of person he is, and there is no point in lying.

Say you don't like it?

How is this different from face jumping?
So, he considered for a moment, and then said seriously, "Mr. Tang. I like Feifei very much."

"but."

"We are all very rational people. We know that now is not the time to be sentimental. There are more important things waiting for us to do."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mr. Tang laughed and said, "You speak very nicely."

"You are rational. Are you sure Fei is rational too?"

Qiu Tu:
To be honest, Qiu Tu also felt that Tang Feifei seemed to be getting more and more intoxicated recently.

The two were just playing the game of "cat and mouse" at first, but later it became "rich woman and gigolo". As a result, now they really feel more and more like a community of interests or a relationship.

Many times, Qiu Tu could even see the love for himself in Tang Feifei's eyes.

This is a dangerous signal.

In an open relationship, whoever falls in love first loses.

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but hesitate: So, Mr. Tang discovered this and came to criticize me?

Is the second-in-command of the shelter so idle?

Would you care about your granddaughter's love life?
The more Qiu Tu thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong.

But now the elders are using this topic to pressure him, and as a junior he has to listen.

So Qiu Tu smiled awkwardly and said, "Fei Fei hasn't really been focusing on work lately."

This was Qiu Tu's disguised admission, and Tang Feifei began to fall into it.

Seeing Qiu Tu being so frank, Elder Tang nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Then he put his hands behind his back, looked out at the New Territories city struggling in the harsh winter, and said softly, "I remember that both of your parents are gone, right?"

Hearing what Elder Tang said, Qiu Tu was slightly stunned, and then responded, "Yes."

Mr. Tang hummed deeply and said, "Then come to my house during the Chinese New Year and have a New Year's Eve dinner."

"After the New Year, some of my students from various departments of the shelter and various states will come to visit me. You can meet them and get to know each other then."

Hearing what Elder Tang said, Qiu Tu's heart suddenly trembled.

Mr. Tang spoke very lightly, as if he was continuing the topic of daily life just now and chatting about meeting during the New Year.

But, although it’s all Chinese New Year, the way ordinary people celebrate it is different from that of big shots.

For someone of Mr. Tang’s status to be invited to his home to celebrate the New Year, can his status be ordinary?

Not to mention going to his house to celebrate the New Year, even if someone visits him during the New Year, it must be a big shot like Guo Huai who is one step away from being the vice-speaker.

Now he asked Qiu Tu to spend the New Year at his home, and after the New Year he introduced other senior and core members of the Fengtian Clan to Qiu Tu.
This is completely to train Qiu Tu as the core.

What is this doing?
Recruit yourself?

Or do you really think of yourself as your grandson-in-law?
Well, if Tang Feifei and I don’t end up together, wouldn’t all the efforts of the Tang family be in vain?
Moreover, my current development momentum is already very good. Do I need to label myself as a "Fengtian faction"?
At this time, when Qiu Tu was thinking this.
Maybe Qiu Tu took a little too long to think about it, but Mr. Tang turned around and looked at him with sharp eyes.

At that moment, Qiu Tu felt as if he had been seen through, and the hairs on his body stood up.

He was about to open his mouth to explain, but at this moment, Elder Tang shook his head slightly and said, "You are calculating too much. You think too much."

"At a low level, that's a good thing. But at a high level, it's likely to take up too much of your energy."

"There may indeed be some factional disputes at the top level, but more often than not, they work together to develop the shelter."

At this point, Mr. Tang paused, then continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the fourth level now, right?"

Hearing what Elder Tang said, Qiu Tu couldn't help but shudder.

Although Mr. Tang's question was a question, he used an affirmative tone.

So, Qiu Tu thought about it for a moment and finally admitted it.

He nodded and said "Yeah".

Elder Tang asked again, "Has he become the lord of the region?"

Qiu Tu:
Qiu Tu felt that he didn't seem to have many secrets in front of this old man.

He tried to hide it, "Yes, it's all Feifei's credit."

What it means is: Tang Feifei helped him become the regional lord, and he is the second regional lord.

But at this time, Mr. Tang just smiled, "Haha." His sharp eyes looked at Qiu Tu as if he could see through everything.

He said calmly, "I know best how capable Feifei is. I also know best how cunning she is."

"It's not that I don't trust the relationship between you two."

"But, even if she doesn't care about the family's interests and insists on helping you become the regional master and the fourth-level catastrophist, she will definitely inform the family."

“It’s basic respect for family.”

Qiu Tu was about to speak.

As if he had seen through everything, Mr. Tang said, "Since you are the master of the second area."

"Then the controlled area should be the "Bright Moon Area", right?"

"After all, Xie Yue is the only evil god who has fallen recently."

"A regional lord should stay in his own region so that he can fully exert his strength. So...how about I transfer you to "Langyue City"? "

Qiu Tu:
Elder Tang had made it so clear, and Qiu Tu couldn't hide it any longer. So he lowered his head and said, "Old Master, you are amazing. I didn't expect that you could see through all my little thoughts."

Seeing that Qiu Tu finally stopped pretending, the expression on Mr. Tang’s face softened.

He brought back the previous topic and said, "You are a fourth-level Catastrophist and the lord of the region."

"Plus, his abilities and strengths are pretty good."

"As the deputy speaker of the Sanctuary, is there any problem with me promoting you appropriately?"

"Yu Gong, if you can really lead Dongye Province and even the shelter to create a new situation, then I can be regarded as having found a future pillar for the shelter."

"Personally, you and Feifei like each other, and we may become a family."

"Let's take a step back. Even if you and Feifei can't be together, you still have some kind of relationship."

"When our Tang family or the Fengtian Clan falls into trouble someday, you can lend a hand." "So... it's just a New Year's Eve dinner to pave the way for you. Don't be too sensitive."

In fact, what Mr. Tang said was totally inconsistent with his identity as the second-in-command of the shelter. It was even a bit too frank and simple.

This is very rare in official circles.

But the more this happened, the more Qiu Tu knew that Mr. Tang was giving him some advice.

So he no longer had any other thoughts in his mind, but bowed and said, "Old man, I am grateful for your advice."

Mr. Tang said “hmm”, then looked at the red sunrise in the sky and commented, “Whether it’s the Shelter or Dongye Province, there are some people who don’t like you very much.”

"I think you are too calculating."

“Some things are too extreme.”

"But... they ignored your origin and background."

"You come from the bottom of society. If you don't fight and be ruthless, how can you survive in this world?"

"But this is not your fault, it's the world's fault. In this chaotic world, without this breath, you might not be alive today."

"But." At this point, Mr. Tang changed the subject and said, "The higher you go, the more upright you should be in doing things. Use more open strategies and fewer conspiracies, and cultivate your own character."

"Also, you need to pay attention to your relationship with your superiors."

At this point, Elder Tang paused, then said carefully, "Huang Shangzong does have some minor problems, but overall, he is not a bad person."

"Although he has always been a headache in judging people, he is an expert in both military and economics."

"Besides, he is very powerful and can suppress the disputes on the border."

"I sent him down to Dongye Prefecture with the intention of training him. But I didn't expect that a lot of his energy would be diverted by you."

"I criticized him on the way here just now. From now on, his focus will be on the state."

"And he has a plan for the expansion of the disaster zone, which is likely to be approved. You can pay attention to it and see if there are any plans, so as to accumulate qualifications and credits."

Although what Mr. Tang said was jumpy and seemed to be wild and unrestrained, if you think about it carefully, you will find that everything is related to each other.

"Pushing Feifei to the front and developing yourself secretly is actually a very smart move."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Even Feifei might suffer some backlash for such a great achievement, let alone you."

"So, stay stable for a while, accumulate experience and achievements, and then you won't attract attention when you are promoted."

After hearing what Mr. Tang said, Qiu Tu knew that Mr. Tang was giving him both advice and a promise.

So he whispered, "Yes, Mr. Tang."

After that, he also said tactfully, "Then I will definitely come to bother you during the New Year."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mr. Tang smiled and nodded.

Then he didn't say anything else, just waved his hand and said, "Okay. Go see Feifei."

"She should have finished her questioning."

"Yes." Qiu Tu responded, then walked out of the garden.

It could be because of the difference in status or the difference in strength. Although Elder Tang was extremely gentle throughout the whole process, after leaving the Sky Garden, Qiu Tu still found that his palms were full of sweat.

He shook the power of catastrophe in his body slightly to evaporate the sweat, stood in the corridor for a few seconds, and then walked towards Tang Feifei's interrogation room again.

This time, facing Mr. Tang, his performance was not that good, but it was not bad either.

Because now Mr. Tang is obviously also in the stage of scrutiny. If he comes up and speaks the truth, Mr. Tang will not really think that he is a sincere person. Instead, he will think that he is scheming and even Mr. Tang is calculating.

On the contrary, Qiu Tu made a few small mistakes but accepted them humbly, which made him more trustworthy to the number two person in the shelter.

This is probably why Mr. Tang gave Qiu Tu some advice and officially included Qiu Tu in the "Future Core" investigation list.
And then he thought that with the support of the Tang family, his position as the vice-chairman should not be a problem. In addition, Lajiro and Huang Mei, mother and daughter, continued to provide credit, and it should only be a matter of time before he became a senior executive of the shelter. Qiu Tu felt a lot more relaxed.
Sure enough, it is nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade.

I hope this tree can really protect me forever? At least until I grow up.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also walked towards Tang Feifei's interrogation room.
Meanwhile, on the 12th floor, the sky garden.

Mr. Tang was wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit, with an upright figure. There were a few wrinkles on his forehead, neither too deep nor too shallow, recording the traces of the vicissitudes of life and the years.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rising sun, but all the conversations with Qiu Tu were replaying in his mind.

To be honest, he actually liked Qiu Tu very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately let Qiu Tu get on his carriage to build momentum for Qiu Tu in Dongye Prefecture.

Being promoted to the position of deputy speaker requires a gradual process. Reputation, merit, respect from below, and recognition from above are all essential.

Especially for Qiu Tu, who has a shallow background, he needs to take it step by step.

In the process of communicating with Qiu Tu, he had a good impression of Qiu Tu. He was a little calculating and scheming, but his nature was not bad.

Those calculations and schemes are just means for the lower class to struggle in this world, and they can all be changed slowly.

Therefore, he was willing to give Qiu Tu a chance, give Qiu Tu a hand, and see how far Qiu Tu could go.

The only thing that made him a little unsure was how many secrets Qiu Tu had hidden.

What he was sure of was that Qiu Tu must be the master of the first area of ​​the Eighth Sanctuary. And Qiu Tu also admitted it.

But in fact, what he didn't say was that he also suspected that Qiu Tu was actually the so-called "mysterious man" who discovered the truth about "Huang Mei".

Although at that time, Qiu Tu deliberately admitted that he was the "mysterious man" and revealed his flaws so that Mr. Tang could see through him.

Afterwards, when several other speakers doubted Qiu Tu's identity, Mr. Tang also informed them of this matter and dispelled their speculation.

But to be honest, Mr. Tang was just cooperating with Qiu Tu's performance.

Just like the "razor theory" that the counselor mentioned in the conference room just now.

This is also the method that Mr. Tang often uses when analyzing something.

Instead of believing in a "mysterious man" who suddenly appeared and interrogated "Lazhiluo", he provided Qiu Tu with a way to become the master of the area and also interrogated the truth of the "Yellow Phantom" incident.
It is better to believe that there is no such person. Or, this person is Qiu Tu.

"Interrogate the evil god and extract valuable intelligence from him."

"In this case, Qiu Tu's value to the entire shelter, and even the entire "human camp", is too great."

'But. This also shows that he secretly used a trick to release the evil god.'

'This problem can be big or small'

Thinking of this, Mr. Tang's eyes were deep, as if he had penetrated the boundaries of time and space and fell on the territory of the entire shelter. He was quietly thinking about this major event related to the future of the Eighth Shelter.
The Tang family's work style may really be the same. Tang Feifei works vigorously and vigorously, and Old Tang works even more vigorously and vigorously.

After confirming the existence of "Huang Mei", questioning Tang Feifei, and investigating Qiu Tu, he didn't even take a rest and prepared to return directly.

This "special forces trip" caught Huang Shangzong, who had just returned to Dongcheng City, off guard. He almost rushed back to New Territories City, but was stopped by Old Tang.

Before leaving, Mr. Tang was surrounded by the top executives of the Exploration Agency and left the Exploration Agency.

Standing at the door of the Exploration Bureau, Elder Tang stopped and looked at Qiu Tu beside him. He then gently patted Qiu Tu on the shoulder and said, "Chief Qiu, you've done a great job. Keep up the good work."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence.——
