My Chip that Disguises Itself as a Cell

  Chapter 110 Conversation between father and son

   "Dad, where's my mother?" Li Zhi asked while slumping down on the sofa in front of Li Xun.

   Outsiders can't see that sloppy look.

   "I can't sit still! Your mother is busy in the kitchen. Hmph, I don't have the chance to eat the meal your mother cooks once in a year! Your mother will only cook when you come back!"

   Li Xun's nagging and jealous appearance must have stunned those who are familiar with him.

   "Hey, my mother loves me. Also, I remember when I was a child, my mother was busy with work, but it was you who cooked, dad. When did you show your hands?"

   Li Zhi stood up with a smile, and before Li Xun could reply, he ran towards the kitchen, apparently to flatter his mother.

   "Hmph." Li Xun, who was about to talk, found his son running away, hummed a few words in displeasure, and poured himself a cup of tea.

   After a while, Li Zhi came back with a smile on his face, and continued to sit on the sofa as if paralyzed.

  Li Xun didn't scold him this time, and just poured a cup of tea for his son.

  Li Zhi just sat upright and started to drink tea.

  His eyes lit up as soon as he entered the mouth: "Tsk tsk, Dad, you are really willing to drink it. What's the good thing?"

   "Hmph, it's a celebration of your promotion to a first-level official." Li Xun said a little arrogantly.

   "Hey, Dad, do you believe that I will become a rank official soon?" Li Zhi crossed his legs and said proudly.

   "Hmph, I don't care when you become a high-ranking official! You are now a first-class official. If you want to fulfill your promise back then, it's time to get married?" Li Xun said, staring at his son.

  The smile on Li Zhi's face disappeared, and he pondered for a while, then he shook his head: "Dad, I'm still a first-class official, not a rank official yet, and we'll talk about marriage when I become a rank officer."

   "What are you doing?! At the beginning, you promised well that you would get married as soon as you became a first-level official!" Li Xun blew his beard and stared.

   "Dad, let's put it this way, I'm married now, and people are marrying under, and we will still be gossiped about climbing the dragon and the phoenix."

   "But if I become a senior official before the age of 30, everyone will say that they have found a good in-law and a good son-in-law."

   "Dad, which one do you choose?" Li Zhi looked at his father and asked.

   "Being a senior official before the age of 30? Daydreams are not as good as yours!" Li Xun said disdainfully.

   "Dad, this is not a dream." Li Zhi poured tea for his father and also poured himself a cup.

  Li Xun didn't say a word, picked up the teacup and drank it, then motioned for Li Zhi to explain.

   "Dad, when I was 25 years old, as a fifth-level official, I left the capital and went down to Hebin City. At that time, I decided to attack the rank officer at the age of 35." Li Zhi said.

  Li Xun nodded: "It's not bad, I have an accurate understanding of myself."

   "Yes, at that time I was really determined to be a 35-year-old official. I thought I had the ability."

   "Indeed, if you are 35 years old and become a rank official, you will be a hero even in the capital." Li Xun continued to praise.

   "In the first year, I don't know if it was because of your face, or what, I was promoted to a level 4 official at the age of 26."

   "Crossed the first hurdle of the official level. I was super excited at that time, at least the obstacle for me to hit the first-level official was not there."

   Li Xun didn't speak, just refilled his son with tea, and then listened quietly.

   "I was desperately running errands in the future, and even fought openly and secretly for all the cases that could be handled. I dare not say how much meritorious service I have made, but it can be said that I have solved countless cases."

   "It's a pity that all the credit is included in the file, and my rank is not directly promoted. Maybe it has something to do with not having any major cases."

   "Then, at the age of 27, I became a third-level official, crossing the second hurdle of the official level."

   "According to this rate of improvement, I will indeed become a first-class official at the age of 30, which is in line with my wish to become a rank officer at the age of 35."

   "I already feel that the future is bright, and the day when I return to Beijing is not far away."

   "Then I will work harder and work harder on the case."

   "But it's a pity that after I became a third-level official, I felt very obviously that there was little resistance, and it was still the kind of resistance that I knew was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong."

  Li Xun said at this time: "Normally, you are an outsider, and you are desperately promoted in the land of local tyrants and desperately handling cases to reap benefits. It is strange that people don't boycott you."

   "Yes, I also noticed this at the time, changed my attitude, and began to try my best to give credit to others. I also deliberately used the tiger skin fox of the provincial brother Uncle Chen to pretend to be a tiger."

   Li Xun still interjected: "But the result didn't get better, did it?"

   "Yes, it hasn't improved at all, and it's even more serious than the obstacles I encountered when I was unscrupulous." Li Zhi nodded.

Li Xun sighed at this moment: "Oh, if our Li family can have friends like you, Uncle Chen, others will naturally have friends too. But to suppress you, many people, including you, Uncle Chen, are likely to be happy to see it. "

   "But there is no need to worry about this matter, everyone does things like this."

Li Zhi didn't respond to his father's words, but continued: "I was almost desperate at the time, because if this continues, let alone being a 35-year-old official, it is impossible to even be promoted to a first-level official! I even moved to other places The thought of going."

   "If you go down for gilding and don't return to the capital to overdo it, that is a failure of gilding, and your reputation will be ruined directly." Li Xun said.

   "At that time, there was nothing I could do. I just didn't care about it on the surface, and I pretended that my background was so deep that I didn't care about these obstacles." Li Zhi smiled wryly.

   "28 years old, sure enough, he didn't get promoted. Even though the list of merit records has several pages, he is the person with the most meritorious service in Hebin City, but he still hasn't been promoted."

   "The reason is fair and aboveboard. You are only 28, and you were promoted to the third-level official a year ago. It is not suitable to be promoted to the second-level official, right?"

   "It's so blocked that you can't say anything. After all, my credits are only in quantity, not in quality."

   "Then, I met a nobleman on a special mission." Li Zhi's expression began to brighten when he said this.

   "That little fellow Lin Zhendong?" Li Xun asked.

   "Yes, a mission where the treasures obtained by the Special Security Department from the second-level lair were snatched by extraordinary forces, and the boss of the city department got angry."

   "I immediately realized that this was an opportunity to build a good relationship with the boss of the city department. With my focus on intelligence, I immediately found Lin Zhendong, who already had the nickname 'Treasure Hunter'."

   "As a result, the stolen treasure was found back in no time. Although I didn't get a promotion this time, I was completely recognized by the boss of the city department." Li Zhi laughed.

   "And then there is the oolong incident with Uncle Chen, the first brother of the special security department in your provincial capital?" Li Xun asked.

Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, it's also Lin Zhendong's ability to turn this kind of incident that would have caused an uproar into an oolong incident. Although I can't be promoted to a 28-year-old second-level official, but with Uncle Chen's relationship has become closer."
