Chapter 295 212. Beauty's kindness (6000 words)
Hearing what the assistant in front of him said, Fang Ze glanced at Bai Zhi beside him, and then reached out to take the file.
The document was indeed exactly what the secretary said: Fang Ze was required to go to Yuncheng to take over and resettle the residents within seven days.
But isn't this time too tight? Could someone be wearing small shoes for himself on purpose?
It may be guessed that Fang Ze will have doubts about this clause, and the assistant explained, "That's right, Patriarch Fang Ze. This clause is indeed an official clause formulated by the Federation."
"The reason is that when the nobles were rewarded back then, the Federation was in a state of waste, and the cities were still infested by wars and disaster creatures. In order to allow each noble family to invest in urban construction as soon as possible, the Federation decided seven days."
Hearing what the secretary said, Fang Ze couldn't help but suddenly realized.
Although what the secretary said was very cryptic, the meaning could not be more obvious: the federation was worried that after the nobles chose the subordinate territories, they would not manage them or resettle the residents, allowing the infestation of disaster creatures and massacring the local residents. , and then move in the population, to vacate the cage and change the birds; or keep delaying, wait for the Federation to spend manpower and material resources to manage the city first, and then easily take over. That's why this clause was made.
Because the 102 nobles are affiliated cities chosen together, no one used this rule after it was formulated, and it has never been changed.
As a result, who would have thought that this rule would become a sharp weapon for oneself after 50 years.
'Seven days'
Fang Ze calculated the things to be prepared in advance and the planning, and felt that the time was a bit tight.
But the federal rules are here, and he has no way to refuse, so he can only nod and accept the file.
After the assistant left, Bai Zhi took the document and checked it carefully, then looked at Fang Ze with concern, and said, "Fang Ze, someone is deliberately forcing you to leave the state capital, it's too dangerous."
Fang Ze did not deny Bai Zhi's judgment. But he also noticed the girl's worry, so Fang Ze didn't talk about it, but touched the girl's hair with a smile, and comforted, "Don't worry. I already have a perfect plan."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Fang Ze nodded confidently.
Fang Ze was so confident, Bai Zhi believed it, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said, "Since you have a complete plan, then I will go to Congyun City with you."
"If your plan is really okay, I will take it as a trip. And if your plan goes wrong, don't worry, I can protect you then!"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze burst out laughing, "You protect me?"
Bai Zhi had a question mark on her face, "What's wrong? Can't you?"
"We are all at the fusion stage, so there isn't much difference in the first place."
"While the awakening ability of the Si family is biased towards the commander, our Bai family's awakening ability is biased toward fighting. In addition, I have practiced martial arts for so many years, and I am proficient in various martial arts. It is no problem to protect you!"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, thinking that, from the surface, Bai Zhi's logic seemed to be fine.
The only problem is that in fact, he is not a member of the Si family, and he is not a fusion class either.
It’s just that it’s inconvenient to tell Bai Zhi about this now, so Fang Ze’s brain turned slightly, and he thought of another excuse: He smiled and pinched Bai Zhi’s tender face, and then said, “Okay. Don’t make trouble. I’ll go to Congyun It is a private matter for the city to take over the territory, and during this period, I cannot let go of my work."
"If you follow me to Congyun City, then who will help me sit in Sizhou Prefecture and handle my work?"
Listening to Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, and said, "But, you are from the Judiciary Department, and I am from the Internal Affairs Department, so it's not my turn to help you with your work?"
Fang Ze put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Soon, you won't be from the Internal Affairs Department. You forgot, I promised you that I would help you transfer departments?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but smile, "You're really confident. Then go talk to Sister Bing~"
In the afternoon, Bai Zhi, who had skipped work all morning, was sent back to the Internal Affairs Department by Fang Ze.
And Fang Ze was not idle either. After briefly dealing with department affairs, he went to the office of the director of the State Security Bureau alone.
When I came to the director's office, Xiaoqing, the assistant to the director, was sitting there with a serious face. When someone came to see the director, she also coldly took a note and handed it over to let the other party line up.
However, when her eyes accidentally fell on Fang Ze, the expression on her face melted immediately, and she even stood up with a smile, and greeted enthusiastically, "Mr. Fang Ze."
He didn’t hit the smiling person with his hand, so Fang Ze greeted him with a smile, and then asked, “Is the director there?”
Xiaoqing nodded quickly, "Yes. I will lead you in."
Fang Ze looked at the line of people waiting outside, and asked, "Don't you need to report or line up?"
Xiaoqing shook her head with a smile, "No, the director said, whenever you arrive, you can just go in."
Hearing what Xiaoqing said, Fang Ze nodded and followed Xiaoqing into the director's office.
When Fang Ze and Xiao Qing were talking just now, the people waiting outside had been secretly paying attention, but now that Fang Ze and Xiao Qing entered the office, they looked at each other and exchanged involuntarily, "Just now Is that Fang Ze?"
"seems like it."
"It's really a talent, not like ordinary people."
Someone who knew Fang Ze’s situation immediately said, “Of course. Get rid of his identity and look at his experience. He grew from an ordinary person to the director of the State Judiciary in half a year.”
"After taking over the Si family, it has cultivated two major fading ranks in a short period of time. Not only withstood the pressure of the Sima family, but also led the cooperation with the Jia family, and also obtained a subsidiary city with a financial income of 16 billion, allowing the Si family to They have gained a firm foothold in West Dazhou, and they have regained the momentum of the three nobles."
"Even if there are some coincidences and contacts accumulated in the previous Si family. But you can't do this to any nobleman of the third or fourth generation."
The person next to him couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and said in agreement, "Yes, yes. It's really a legend."
While agreeing, they also looked towards the door of the office. And among them, several of them looked thoughtful, as if there was something extra.
Meanwhile, in the office.
When Fang Ze entered Lan Bing's office, Lan Bing was criticizing a tall and thin man with a frosty face.
Seeing Fang Ze coming, the frost on her face subsided slightly, and after reprimanding the man a few more words, she waved the man to go out.
Seeing that Lan Bing let him go, the man couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly saluted and left. And when passing by Fang Ze, he did not forget to give Fang Ze a grateful smile.
After the man left, Xiaoqing also left the office, closed the door, and left the office only to Fang Ze and Lan Bing.
Seeing that Fang Ze was the only one left in the office, Lan Bing's cold face loosened again, and then she motioned, "Sit."
While speaking, she opened the drawer and took out a document from it, and said blankly, "I knew you would come. I'm ready."
As she spoke, she shook her hand, and the document flew lightly into Fang Ze's hand.
While taking the file, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment: Huh? Does the director know that he came to change the guard for Bai Zhi? Is it so godlike?
Thinking about this, Fang Ze couldn't help but lowered his head and opened the document. Then what appeared in his eyes was a line titled: Special Operations Permission from the Security Bureau.
Fang Ze was surprised, and quickly flipped through the document again. There were actually three special operation permission documents inside, and all of them were blank!
For a moment, Fang Ze couldn't help but froze.
At this time, Lan Bing bowed his head to correct the document, and explained blankly, "These three special operation permits, combined with your position, can freely transfer from eight high-level cities near Yuncheng to twenty-six low-level cities. All the security bureaus, detective agencies, and other departments in the city."
"And you can also control the governing halls and federal garrisons in these areas and order them to cooperate. So no matter what difficulties you encounter when you take over the subsidiary territories, whatever you want to do is enough."
Speaking of this, she paused, and added, "Of course. You should also be careful, don't make things too ugly, and I will be under a lot of pressure then."
Fang Ze: .
Looking at Lan Bing's desolate face and the diametrically opposed love, Fang Ze felt that the document in his hand was heavy for a moment.
He was silent for a while. Although he felt a little out of place, he still said, "Director, actually, I came to you this time, not for this purpose. Or I never thought of asking you to help me like this."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Lan Bing looked up at Fang Ze. Although her expression didn't change at all, there was still a little bit of doubt in her eyes.
Fang Ze looked at her, and then said, "Actually, I came today because of Bai Zhi."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Lan Bing:
It is difficult for Fang Ze to describe the situation in front of him, but the fact is that although Lan Bing's face has always been cold, at that moment, her expression was still a little colder.
Seeing that Lan Bing seemed to be angry, Fang Ze coughed, and hurriedly walked over with a shy face, and said, "Sister Bing, I think so."
"You also know the situation of Bai Zhi. She likes to be active or not, so she is not suitable for these clerical jobs at all."
"If you let her take care of the most complicated equipment in the Internal Affairs Department, she will be bored to death every day. And she won't be able to exert her ability."
"So I thought"
Lan Bing asked blankly, "So you want to transfer her to your side?"
Fang Ze: .
After a moment, he nodded.
Then he also put away the smile on his face, and said seriously, "I think, in my hands, Bai Zhi can at least give full play to her abilities and strengths."
"Better than her Department of Internal Affairs"
Speaking of this, Fang Ze paused, "Let's cause a lot of trouble."
Lan Bing gave Fang Ze a cold look, and then said, "You came to me to talk about this matter, is it really business-like, or is it selfish? Or how much each takes."
Hearing Lan Bing's words, Fang Ze hesitated for a while, but finally decided to tell the truth, "It's almost all selfish."
Fang Ze's honesty made Lan Bing's expression slightly eased. Then she didn't continue to talk about this topic, but was silent for a while, and said, "I know you have always suspected that I don't like Xiaozhi."
Fang Ze's eyes fluctuated slightly, he didn't expect his thoughts to be seen through, he hurriedly wanted to explain. In the end, before he could speak, Lan Bing admitted directly, "I really don't like that kid very much."
Fang Ze: .
However, Lan Bing immediately said, "But, after all, she is the descendant of the old man, so I will not suppress her or torment her. My character is not so inferior."
Speaking of this, Lan Bing glanced at Fang Ze, and said slowly, "Whether she was not promoted before, or arranged for her to enter the Internal Affairs Department this time, it has nothing to do with me. I just asked the old man for instructions, and then he gave the order instructions."
"You should be able to guess the reason."
Hearing Lan Bing's words, Fang Ze was startled, and then his brain raced.
To be honest, he always thought that Bai Zhi's new position was arranged by Lan Bing. After all, Lan Bing didn't like Bai Zhi, and it was probably only Bai Zhi who couldn't see it. So he really never thought that Bai Zhi's position would be personally instructed by Mr. Bai.
As for the reason for this arrangement, it is also obvious that it is to grind Bai Zhi's temper.
Bai Zhi's temperament is too hot and fast, and it is easy to break after a while. So she needs to calm down.
Preventing Bai Zhi from being promoted was to grind her, and now putting her in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also to grind her. This is obviously old master Bai's personal plan for Bai Zhi.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze suddenly lost the mood to argue.
After all, it is very inconvenient for outsiders to intervene in matters involving the cultivation of clan members.
"Solved" Bai Zhi's problem, Fang Ze came back to his senses, and couldn't help but think of Lan Bing's kindness to him and his misunderstanding of her, and felt a little guilty for a while.
So, he was silent for a moment, and took the initiative to say, "Sister Bing, I'm going to your house for dinner tonight."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Lan Bing was obviously stunned for a moment, but then she refused coldly, "No. I don't need your apology and compensation."
Fang Ze said, "It's not an apology, nor is it compensation, but I'm leaving the state capital soon. You know, this time is a bit dangerous, so I want to have a meal with you before I leave."
After hearing Fang Ze's words, Lan Bing fell silent for a while.
After a while, she said softly, "OK."
In the evening, Lan Bing's house.
Lan Bing changed into home clothes again, put on an apron, and quietly started cooking.
Maybe because of a different mood, although Lan Bing still didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the room was still cold, but Fang Ze felt as if he suddenly felt a kind of homely warmth.
While thinking this way, Fang Ze took out the gift he asked the butler to buy for him in the afternoon from the space folding device: a high-end vinyl record player and hundreds of vinyl records that are popular in the world.
Then he squatted on the ground, followed the instructions in the manual, assembled the record player, and put a vinyl record on it.
Melodious music sounded in the room, adding a touch of warmth to this large but deserted villa.
When she heard the music coming from behind, Lan Bing, who was cooking, could not help but pause for a moment. After a moment, she turned her head to look at Fang Ze, and then turned her head expressionlessly.
But after turning her back to Fang Ze, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Just like that, amidst the melodious music, Lan Bing finished cooking, and the two finished their meal quietly.
After the meal this time, Fang Ze no longer acted as the shopkeeper, but took the initiative to go to the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks.
Seeing Fang Ze's actions, the corners of Lan Bing's mouth involuntarily twitched slightly.
Looking silently at Fang Ze who was washing dishes in the kitchen, Lan Bing silently looked away.
Then she looked at the time, went to the study to get a dozen documents, and sat at the dining table to process them.
At this time, in the open kitchen, Fang Ze finished brushing the dishes, glanced at Lan Bing who was working quietly there, thought for a while, and took out some fruits from the space folding bag, washed them carefully, and put them on the plate , carried it over.
Placing the plate beside Lan Bing, Fang Ze said, "Eat more fruits, it will be nutritious."
Lan Bing was processing documents there, and when she heard Fang Ze's words, she reflexively said, "After Huayang stage, the body is composed of the power of law, and there will be no lack of nutrition."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Fang Ze belatedly.
After a while, she lowered her head, silently picked up a peach with her left hand, and continued to work while eating.
Seeing her like that, Fang Ze couldn't help but put a smile on his face.
Just like that, after working with Lan Bing for a while, Fang Ze checked the time, it was already 9 pm, it was getting late, so he offered to leave.
Seeing that Fang Ze was about to leave, Lan Bing also stopped what he was doing, sent him to the door, watched him leave, then turned around slowly, and closed the door.
The door was closed, and the hustle and bustle outside had nothing to do with the inside of the house. Lan Bing turned around and looked at the familiar but strange home in front of him, feeling as if something was missing, empty.
She just looked at it quietly for a while, and finally her eyes slowly moved to the vinyl record player that was quietly playing music on the ground.
After a while, she looked away, walked back to the dining table, sat down, and continued to deal with official duties
The dim light shone on her body, making this woman who had been cold for more than ten years seem much gentler
The next day, Fang Ze came to the Security Bureau to work as usual.
However, before he had been working for a long time, someone knocked on the door of his office.
"Come in."
Accompanied by Fang Ze's voice, the door of the office was pushed open from the outside. Bai Zhi walked into his office with a face of excitement, and then said happily, "Fang Ze! You are amazing!"
"Huh?" For a while, Fang Ze didn't understand which aspect of himself Bai Zhi was talking about.
Then he heard Bai Zhi say, "Just now the Personnel Department came to talk to me, and said they wanted to change departments for me, and I changed to the Judiciary Department!"
"Sister Bing is so difficult to speak, how did you do it?"
"Switched to the Judiciary?" Hearing Bai Zhi's words, it was Fang Ze's turn to be surprised this time.
Bai Zhi nodded quickly, "Yes, the Judiciary."
Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then the figure of Lan Bing appeared in front of his eyes.
'Is it a special adjustment she made in order not to disappoint me? '
'Then how can she explain to Mr. Bai and the Bai family? '
While Fang Ze was thinking this way, Bai Zhi came over and asked curiously, "Fang Ze, what are you doing?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze came back to his senses. He hid his embarrassment with a dry laugh, and then made an excuse casually, "It's okay. I was just thinking about what position you will be in the Judiciary Department?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, she covered her mouth and said, "That's right. Why did I forget my position. You are the director, there must be a record, please check it for me."
Fang Ze nodded when he heard Bai Zhi's words, so he opened the background system, logged in, and checked the personnel files of the Judicial Department.
Sure enough, there was an extra file of Bai Zhi in the personnel file of the Judicial Department.
Fang Ze clicked on the file, and Bai Zhi couldn't help moving her head over. The two of them looked at the job arrangement on the file together.
After a while, Bai Zhi's wailing resounded in the office, "Ah~~ sorting out and filing files for the Director of the Judiciary Division! My God! Why is it still such a tedious job!"
Seeing this position of changing the soup but not the medicine, Fang Ze burst out laughing for a while: Well, it's Sister Bing's style, it seems that I don't have to worry about her.
As for Bai Zhi, although it is all tedious and exhausting work. But this is not only in the judicial department, but also in contact with Fang Ze every day, no loss or loss.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but see Lan Bing's unsmiling, yet tender appearance again.
To be honest, Fang Ze was an only child in the two lifetimes, and he never experienced the bond between siblings. But at this moment, he felt that Lan Bing was like his half-sister.
While Fang Ze was thinking about Lan Bing.
At this time, Security Bureau, Director's Office. Lan Bing was also standing by the window talking on the phone,
"Old man, I want to be promoted to the ordinary rank."
Hearing Lan Bing's words, the person on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "You should know why I have always disagreed with your promotion to the Mortal Rank."
Lan Bing said "Yes", "I know. The Tuoman fruit is a real treasure, and whichever Tufan fruit you use is equivalent to completely standing in line."
"Although you arranged for me to be a double agent, in the final analysis, you don't want me to have too much relationship with the Bai family. That's why you never give me the fruit."
"Although the Federation wants to win me over with Tufanuo, I don't want it."
"So, things have been deadlocked."
Hearing Lan Bing's words, the old man of the Bai family on the other side of the phone said slowly, "In these years, you have not been able to become an executive member because your strength has not faded."
"In such a situation, you have endured it for such a long time, but today you want to relapse?"
Lan Bing said lightly, "Yes. Because I want to protect someone."
Old Master Bai hesitated, "Fang Ze?"
Lan Bing let out a "huh".
Old Master Bai was silent for a while, and then said, "Are you worried about the assassination of demigod believers? Then you can rest assured that the Bai family will send two mortal ranks to hide beside him to protect him."
Lan Bing shook his head and said slowly, "I only believe in myself."
This time, old man Bai was silent for a long time.
Finally, he sighed faintly, and said slowly, "I will sell the Fanguo to Fang Ze. If you want to break through, go to Fang Ze."
Lan Bing didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "OK."
Just like that, in a tense atmosphere, the communication was interrupted.
At this time, Lan Bing, who had been asking for Fafanuo stubbornly, heard the "beep" sound from the receiver, but his eyes were full of bewilderment,
‘Old man, what have you been planning all these years? '
‘Why have you been training the third generation of the Bai family? '
‘And why do you keep trying to push me out? '
That night, when Fang Ze returned home accompanied by Hei Yu, a Fading Fruit had been quietly placed in the main hall of the manor. And several masters of the Si family were surrounding there, watching and whispering to each other.
——
On the last day of the month, please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass, I love you~
