Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Although Zhu Xu succeeded in appointing the deacon of the Information Section, his foundation was still shallow and his prestige was insufficient.

If drastic changes in personnel appointments are made right from the start, Liu Miao and others will react strongly, and they will even use their decision-making power to make internal decisions like Qin Gang, and then they will be passive.

Among the seven managers in the Intelligence Department, only Tang Ning could be considered to be in the same boat as him.

Among the remaining people, Lu Guang, Chen Xuan, and Du Yuankai are definitely on a united front with Liu Miao. The positions of Xu Cuiyao, Zhang Yan, and the fat man who looks like Maitreya Buddha are not yet known, and they can at most remain neutral.

Therefore, before winning over these three people, Zhu Xu would not make any big moves, lest the two parties get into trouble and follow in Qin Gang's footsteps.

The first thing he has to do is to stabilize Liu Miao and others, and then slowly work towards it, gradually win over the middle-ground managers and cultivate confidants.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhu Xu continued: "Junior Brother Tang and Junior Brother Wu are still responsible for external intelligence work."

The two nodded and said hello.

"Junior Brother Liu, do you have anything to add?" Zhu Xu looked at Liu Miao.

Liu Miao said: "Mao Run, the captain of the third team of the action team, failed to build the foundation and died. I intend for Ma Kui, a disciple of the third team, to take over his post. I wonder what Senior Brother Zhu thinks?"

"Okay." Zhu Xu agreed: "If the other junior brothers have nothing else to do, this discussion will end here."

Everyone got up and left the main hall, each going back to the cave.

That night, Zhu Xu sent someone to invite Tang Ning to visit him.

The two of them took their seats after exchanging pleasantries.

Zhu Xu said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just took office and it's not convenient for me to interfere in personnel affairs. I will transfer you back to the sect after I have established a firm foothold."

Tang Ning smiled and thought he had something important to discuss, but it turned out that it was because of this. He must have come here to comfort her because he was worried that the arrangements he made today in the meeting hall would cause dissatisfaction in his heart.

After all, he is still alone in the intelligence department. He is his only supporter at present, so he is more considerate of his own feelings.

"I see."

Zhu Xu said: "You stay at the intelligence station for a while first, and I will look for an opportunity to transfer you back to the sect. To be honest, I also need your support here!"

Tang Ning asked: "What are we going to do next? What is the relationship between Senior Brother Wu and Junior Sister Xu Cuiyao over there? Can they be roped in?"

Zhu Xu said: "That's what I have in mind, but this matter should not be taken too hastily, it needs to be discussed in the long run. Junior Brother Zhang has never paid much attention to these matters, and his attitude is relatively neutral. This was the case when he was with Senior Brother Lu, and there is no relationship with him there. Shen Shen, so he was assigned to Qi Yuan Island. This person is also an old fox. It is not easy to win over him completely. It takes time. "

"Junior sister Xu was originally a disciple of the eighth team of the action team. She was later promoted to captain by junior brother Du Yuankai. She established the foundation two years ago. She had a normal relationship with that team before. I'll try her attitude first. Come on."

Zhu Xu shouted, with spiritual power added to it, and his voice was heard far away.

Soon, a slender disciple came in and bowed: "Uncle, what are your orders?"

"Go and ask Junior Sister Xu to come to my cave for a chat."

"Yes." The disciple responded.

Zhu Xu had no disciples, so he couldn't do everything by himself. He didn't have much connection before, but now he serves as the deacon of the intelligence department. All affairs of the department have to go through his hands. It's really inconvenient not to have anyone to send messages and run errands, so he started from the aircraft rescue team. A disciple was selected for his dispatch.

Tang Ning said: "Who is that Senior Brother Wu? I have never heard of him before."

"His name is Wu Teng. Before you were transferred to the Intelligence Department, he had already been transferred to be in charge of intelligence work outside of Chu State. It has been more than fifty years now. Naturally, you have never seen him."

"I see."

Not long after, Xu Cuiyao, the disciple on duty, arrived.

"Senior Brother Zhu, I'm calling you late at night. What's the important matter?" Xu Cuiyao bowed her head and said.

"Junior Sister Xu, please sit down!"

Xu Cuiyao took her seat in response.

"You must be familiar with this Junior Brother Tang. He is currently in charge of the secret intelligence work of Chu State. Many of the encrypted files you receive on weekdays are submitted by the intelligence agency he is responsible for."

Xu Cuiyao nodded and said, "I know."

"Junior brother Tang hopes to be transferred back to the sect to serve as a deacon. I am a new deacon and it is not easy to be arbitrary. I want to hear your opinions. What do you think?"

"How can I control this matter? Since Senior Brother Zhu is the deacon of the department, he has the right to transfer all the disciples in the department to other positions."

"To tell you the truth, Junior Brother Tang had some quarrel with Senior Brother Lu before he was sent to serve outside the sect. If he is transferred back, some people may be dissatisfied." Zhu Xu said, looking at Xu Cuiyao with a smile, and waited. Following her statement.

This statement made it very clear that transferring Tang Ning back to the sect would be opposed by Lu Xingxian's original forces.

Xu Cuiyao pondered for a while and said slowly: "As long as it complies with the sect's procedures, there is nothing to worry about?"

It was as clear as if she had not said this, and she had some scruples.

Zhu Xu nodded: "I hope Junior Sister Xu can support me in some matters in the future."

Xu Cuiyao nodded without saying anything.

There was a brief silence in the room, and Xu Cuiyao said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Go!"

Xu Cuiyao turned around and left.

"The road ahead is long and arduous!" Zhu Xu sighed slightly when he saw her figure walking away.

Tang Ning also stood up and said goodbye.

When Xu Cuiyao returned to the cave, she couldn't calm down. Zhu Xu's intention to win over was obvious, but she also knew that Liu Miao and his group were deeply entrenched and powerful in the Intelligence Department. Although Zhu Xu was promoted to the deacon of the Intelligence Department, he might not be able to check and balance them. On the contrary, you will be hampered everywhere.

As a low-key person, she really didn't want to get involved in the overt and covert fight between the two parties. It was best to maintain her position of sitting on the fence, neither offending any party nor falling to the other party.

But this is not easy. Maybe by chance, both parties will be offended, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Intelligence Section.

When she was in the subordinate action team, she knew about the struggle of the masters and uncles above her, but she was not so clear about it. Since the establishment of the foundation and after she was promoted to manager, she has seen everything clearly.

This kind of struggle is very subtle, not overt and overt, life and death, but more of an undercurrent.

The intrigues and deceptions involved cannot be understood by outsiders. Only those inside the situation can clearly feel these unclear but real surges.

She had heard before that Tang Ning's "Master Uncle" was a leader among the disciples of the sect and was highly appreciated by Luo Qingshui, the master of Xuande Hall.

Seeing this today confirms that this is not a lie. Tang Ning and Zhu Xu have a close relationship. There is no doubt that the two of them represent Luo Qingshui's power in the Intelligence Department.

On the other hand, the supporter behind Lu Xingxian and others is undoubtedly Shi Mingsui, the master of Qingxuan Hall.

While she was thinking, there was a sudden tremor in the storage bag at her waist. She took out the array disk and pointed it upward, taking the talisman into her hand. She poured her consciousness into it, and a slightly older voice sounded in her mind.

She smiled bitterly, turned into an escaping light, and left the cave.

Outside the thick fog, an old man with pale hair and beard stood standing. It was Du Yuankai, her former direct boss.

Xu Cuiyao bowed her head and said, "Senior Brother Du, why are you here? What are your orders?"

Du Yuankai smiled slightly: "Oh, it's nothing, I just felt a surge of emotions for a while, and I felt a little unhappy, so I came here to talk to you."

"Please come in quickly."

The two entered the main room of the cave and sat opposite each other.

Du Yuankai sighed: "Senior Brother Lu has resigned from the position of deacon, and the deadline is approaching. To be honest, I feel quite uncomfortable!"

"I think that when we joined the Intelligence Section, he was the captain of the third team of the action team to which I belonged. Later, he was in charge of the affairs of the action team, and I was the captain of the third team of the action team under him. Until he took over as the deacon of the Intelligence Section, I He has also established his foundation and become the manager of the Intelligence Department.”

"When I think about it, the past is still vivid in my mind, but our life has come to an end."

Xu Cuiyao smiled and said nothing and listened to him quietly.

"Senior Brother Lu is about to pass away, and I don't have much time left. I no longer want to pay attention to the intrigues between the sects. To be honest, I came to you this time because I was entrusted by others. We might as well open the sky and speak openly and have a heart-to-heart talk. Chat, you also know that Senior Brother Zhu Xu has some quarrels with some people in the department. After he is promoted to deacon, it may have a big impact on the department. What do you think about this? "

Xu Cuiyao said: "I haven't built a new foundation for a long time, and people are talking lightly. How can I have any opinions? Just do your job well, and for the rest, just listen to orders."

Du Yuankai said: "You are right to think so, but how can things in this world go as you wish? Sometimes many things cannot be controlled by one's own control. It is not easy to be alone in this big dyeing vat. When it is necessary to make a choice , often taking the wrong step will bring consequences that we don’t want to bear.”

Xu Cuiyao frowned slightly and did not answer.

Du Yuankai continued: "I heard that Senior Brother Zhu just came to talk to you? How was the talk?"

"Senior Brother Tang Ning wanted to be transferred back to the sect. Senior Brother Zhu said it was inconvenient to make arbitrary decisions and wanted to hear other people's opinions, so he called me to see him."

"I see. What do you think about this?"

"How can I make the decision on these things? I just follow orders. As long as it does not violate the laws and regulations of the sect and department, it is within the scope of its authority, and there seems to be no reason to object."

If you don't oppose it, you may not support it. The implication is clear.

Du Yuankai nodded, changed the topic, and talked about trivial matters: "I heard that you have accepted a disciple, who is very handsome, and is in a hot relationship with a male disciple from the fifth team of the department."

"Children are just messing around, they can't count."

The two chatted for a while, then Du Yuankai stood up and left.

The next day, Tang Ning left the sect and returned to the intelligence station.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and a beautiful woman with a round waist, fat buttocks, pert breasts, picturesque eyebrows, and spring in her eyes pushed the door in. It was Xu Qingwan.

At this moment, there is a full smile on his face, which adds to the indescribable charm. Every smile touches the heart and soul, just like the vixen in calligraphy and painting who brings disaster to the country and the people.

She bowed her head and said, "Tang Xianshi."

Tang Ning was slightly stunned when she saw her, then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xu."
