25.11 Decisions and Transitions

This time, the car that came to pick up Du Ping and Susan to Jingluo was still Hezi. This woman who has been in charge of Du Pingping's industry in Jingluo since Du Pingping went to Tang. This time, after Du Pingping returned to the east, he still showed enough respect and obedience. As a small house rental company, she not only came to greet Du Ping in person twice, but also constantly took small things such as luggage and car doors, all of which were done as personally as possible. If it's too much, you can get it yourself first, and then hand it over to your own subordinates.

This surprised Susan, but Du Ping thought it was normal. Dongliuqiu and several ancient oriental traditions originally came from ancient times to pay attention to the society of superiority and inferiority, and the origin of Hezi was very low. In the early days, she could actually be said to be a lowly member of the Ronin Group, but later lost her status as a free citizen when she followed Du Pingping. To put it bluntly, it's actually that kind of slave or something. It's just that Du Ping has never treated her like this, but she has also been training and educating for more than half a year. So certain habits and ideas have been deeply rooted in her bone marrow. Besides, Du Pingping's property in Jingluo is actually Du Pingping's, and it has little to do with her. She is only the temporary manager of Du Pingping's industry, so it is normal for Kazuko to show this kind of deferential and obedient appearance.

The last time Susan and Du Ping were in Jingluo for a transfer, they didn't stop. So although I heard Du Pingping tell her that she also has a car, a house, a company, and a villa, she has always seen Du Pingping's usual life is simple, and the Du family of three is all that ordinary and simple, and she doesn't think that Du Pingping really has anything. But this time back in Jingluo, when Kazuko directly took Susan and Du Pingping to the villa in Jingluo Bay, Susan was really shocked.

This villa was a gift from Du Ping, the ambassador of the Imag Sect, Aservul, to Du Pingping when he dealt with the car bombing incident in Washington a few years ago. It is likely that Aservdule prepared it for himself before, so the entire villa is extremely luxurious from construction to decoration, and it is completely the atmosphere that only hundreds of millions of rich people have. The location is even better, on the halfway slope of a hill, overlooking the whole Jingluo night.

So Susan was stunned!

Susan, "This is your villa?"

Du Pingping nodded, originally Du Pingping had never hidden this matter from anyone.

"More than three years ago, I helped Washington solve a case of bombing the car of an Iranian diplomat. It was a gift from the ambassador of that country during that incident. ”

Susan, "A villa as a gift?"

Du Fair, "Yes!"

Susan, "Isn't that a bribe?"

"In that case, I had a mutual agreement with the ambassador of that country. This villa was only some kind of bonus! And at that time, I was just a university scholar and nothing else. ”

Susan looked around and sighed, "I finally believe now that you really don't like money. It looks like you can earn a lot more as a consultant than if you were a teacher, a consultant, or a civil servant!"

…………………………

The main purpose of Du Pingping's return to Jingluo this time is to prepare for the national civil service examination.

Although he is also a person with a doctorate degree, after a month of surprise preparation and study, Du Pingping really found that he could not underestimate this kind of civil service examination. In a way, the most difficult thing for Du Ping in this kind of examination is not knowledge, but the recognition and penetration of strong traditional Confucian values.

Fortunately, the head office Zuo who helped Du Pingping prepare for the exam in New York City actually came to Du Pingping's home again to help Du Pingping prepare for the second exam. This time, the filing is much simpler than before. This gentleman simply sketched out some exam questions and test points to be strengthened and deepened by Du Pingping. This is the process of most students in the process of exams, but Du Pingping's questions this time were actually done by professional people.

…………………………

When Du Ping was in New York City, Keiji Oyama had already helped Du Ping to complete Du Pingping's registration in a foreign country. But the exam had to be held in the eastern part of the country. Du Pingping's test venue is in Jingluo. On the day of the exam, it was also overcrowded. It seems that in Dongliuqiu, many college students have graduated and saved their jobs, and civil servants still have its extraordinary attraction.

Follow the flow of people into the exam room, take the test with the flow of people, and complete the test with the flow of people.

The whole process ended like a flash in the pan. While many of the students who participated in the big exam were still sharing their results with each other, Du Ping had returned to Susan and Kazuko, who were already waiting outside.

Water and nodded and handed over.

Susan, "How's it going?"

Du Fair, "Very good!"

Du Pingping did feel very good in the test. Because the mysterious Mr. Motobu Zuo guessed the exam questions almost thoroughly, and even if the Motobu Saku did not carry out the questions, Du Ping also studied carefully with the Motobu Saku in the course of a month of study and review. Although Du's brain system is not as inhuman as it was in high school, the basic functions are still relatively powerful. If this exam actually gave Du Pingping a feeling that it was not too difficult.

Of course, it is only Du Ping who has this feeling, because Du Ping has come out of the examination room to return to Susan and Hezi, and has heard many candidates complaining that this year's exam questions are too difficult, and although many questions are answered by themselves, they don't know whether the answers are right or wrong.

I sighed secretly in my heart: This is the kind of knowledge monopoly that human civilization has had since ancient times. In the case of this kind of national civil service examination, some big families and large consortia may have already analyzed its examination content, examination objectives, and examination knowledge very accurately. But they don't make it public to ordinary people, so as to guarantee their own interests. So for the same thing, when people already have a review direction and standard answers, you can only rely on your luck and understanding. It's like fighting alone and in a group, you can't compete with anyone else at all.

According to Du Pingping's own analysis of his own examination, Du Pingping has no problem in passing the national civil service examination. There is only one assignment volunteer filled in by Du Ping, and that is the police headquarters, plus the Kuroda family helps him operate, and the possibility of Du Pingping being assigned to the police system is basically a sure thing. If this is the case, in July, the police system will hold a semi-closed short-term training for police officers like Du Pingping, who are taking the civil service examination. The main objective of this training is to make the entry of these civil servants into the police system more like police officers and more like members of disciplined forces. In the police system, it is impossible to allow a police officer in a police uniform to not walk in the military, not to shoot, not to fight, and so on.

This is a semi-closed short-term training, that is, except for Saturday and Sunday, Du Pingping must stay in the police training base or school 24 hours a day, like all civil servants and police officers who have been recruited this time. So when the two of them are together, there are really not many left.

So the two people who returned from the examination room basically immediately sat on the itinerary to travel to various parts of the East Ball. And Kazuko was kept behind again, continuing to help Du Pingping look after the house, and keeping an eye on the results of this civil service exam at any time.

Du Fairness and Susan played for more than a week, and one morning, Du Fairness received a call from Kazuko.

Kazuko, "Master, your exam results are out." ”

Du Fair, "What result?"

Kazuko, "You have passed the exam, and you have also been accepted by the Jingluo Metropolitan Police Department!"

The results of Hezi's report are basically the same as Du Ping's life plan. According to Kuroda-sama's life plan, in order to go further in the future, Du Ping must be more down-to-earth step by step. That is to say, it is necessary to go through the growth process of a system standard step by step, such as patrol police, police department supplement, police department, and section chief. Although if you choose a professional and supportive career route, Du Ping can reach a high position at one time, but it also means that Du Pingping's future development space will be limited a lot. Only by being promoted step by step, as if going through a series of stages from a front-line police officer to a senior police officer, it is impossible for his competitors to dig out the defects and deficiencies in his life experience in the future.

This is again an advantage of big families and big forces. They are very clear and deeply researched about the promotion paths in various workplaces. Therefore, it is rare for short-term benefits to lose future development. Du Pingping's choice of the Jingluo Metropolitan Police Department is the same, this kind of front-line, international-level metropolis police resume will be much more advantageous than being directly assigned to a national police agency such as the police headquarters. It's just that in the early stage, life will be harder.

Kazuko not only got the results of Du Pingping's exam and the direction of assignment, but also received a short-term training notice from the police headquarters. This short-term training was reported in early July. It's less than a week away. Although the training venue is a police academy in Jingluo, the semi-closed training arrangement, Du Ping and Susan basically do not see each other in ordinary times. Du Pingping didn't want to see him only once a week for a small amount of time, so Susan has been with him in Jingluo.

Fortunately, this situation was predicted by Du Ping and Susan before they returned to the east. So in July and August, Susan also has her own life arrangement. She plans to join an international volunteer program to give herself a better look at her life history and positive values. Susan is a smart and determined girl, and Du Pingping also knows that he may not have much influence on her, so he fully agrees with Susan's plan. The two began to return from a temple hotel in a resort area to Jingluo.

The temple in Dongliuqiu can operate accommodation, catering and other services. When Du Pingping was at NYU, when he talked to Bai Shuzhen about it, they were very surprised, because in their place, it was impossible to happen. Because in Zhao and other places, the function of Buddhist temples is only religion, and they do not participate in private commercial activities. However, after Du Pingping's research, it was found that Buddhism is really a very people-friendly existence. The earliest Buddhist temples are not only about accommodation and catering, but also about money and education. It's just that in several extermination activities in the history of the Zhao Kingdom, Buddhism simplified its service function in order not to arouse the dissatisfaction and hostility of the authorities. However, in places such as Dongliuqiu, some ancient functions of Buddhism still exist. This is the case with Dongliuqiu, where many temples offer the basic functions of hotel accommodation. Although it must be charged, it must be cheap and good, and the conditions and hygiene are very good. The point is that there is no such mess and peculiarity that is often found in Western-style hotels.

This kind of temple hotel is also a local feature of the East Flowing Ball, so Susan also had a very happy stay. Just like staying in a castle hotel in Xizhou, it is full of history and the atmosphere of ancient civilization.

…………………………

As soon as Susan returned to Jingluo, she made a request that she had planned for a long time: that is, to visit Jingluo Imperial University, where Du Pingping had stayed.

Jingluo Imperial University is really an important place that has made Du Pingping brilliant and sad. Although it is said that he has calmly faced all the people and things in the past, Du Pingping still has a little idea in his heart that he wants to avoid here. And this thought must have been clearly seen by Susan.

Susan, "Can't you?"

Du Ping shook his head, "No problem!"

The visit route of Du Ping and Susan is actually the last time the three members of the Du family came to visit the Imperial University because of Du Ping. Walk in from the gate of the school with a history of more than 100 years, and walk into this university district full of historical vicissitudes in a field of green cherry trees.

Since most of the students here have already started their vacation, there are not many students in the school. On the entire green boulevard, it seems that there are only two people. It's just that the emperor here, although I don't mind that someone will enter to visit, it is impossible to allow the situation of guided tours everywhere. So to visit here, the tour guide can only be self-helped. If it weren't for the historical information on the Internet, if it weren't for the old man Du Pingping. In fact, it soon happened that people like himself and Susan, who said that there were people who had lived here, tourists who took them to visit, and tourists who really didn't look up history on the Internet and read materials while reading them. Because many of the small houses and buildings that Du Ping used to walk through and didn't care about, these visitors with backpacks and tourist materials in their hands can tell a lot of magical and historical stories.

But fortunately, Susan's purpose of visiting here was only to see the places where Du Ping once lived and fought. For example, the Xuezi Lake here is the place where Susan is named to visit.

It was impossible for Du Pingping to be dissatisfied with such a little bit of thoughts and needs of his very caring fiancée, so the two of them came to Xuezi Lake together, and Du Pingping, an experienced person of history, told the mysterious and terrible, murderous, and mysterious legendary events. Fortunately, this story is wonderful enough in itself, although Du Ping does not have the level of storytelling, but Susan also listened to it very happily.

At this time, an acquaintance appeared in front of Du Pingping. It was when Du Ping was in school, the president of the Imperial University Reasoning Club who joined her, Nagano Hana Qiko. Hanako Nagano came to Du Fair and Susan in a white dress in surprise, as if before, there was not much difference from when Du Fair was there.

Hanako Nagano, "Mr. Du, Mr. Fair, is it really you!"

Du Ping was also very surprised, "Nagano-san?

Seeing that Du Ping still recognized herself, Hanachiko Nagano immediately became happy, "It seems that you still haven't forgotten me!

"Yes! I've graduated. ”

Hanako Nagano looked at Susan next to her, "Your girlfriend?

Susan, "Thank you!"

Hanako Nagano bowed, "Hello, I'm Hanako Nagano, please take care of me!"

Susan didn't reflect, Du Ping understood that this was because his conversation with Nagano had been in Dongliuqiu, Susan didn't understand Dongliuqiu, but because she had been in Dongliuqiu for a while, she had heard others praise her beautiful many times, Susan could still understand this kind of praise, so she chose to thank her in Dongliuqiu. But as soon as Nagano's batch of east-flowing balls came, of course, she immediately crashed.

Du Pingping smiled at Hanachiko Nagano, "She doesn't speak the language of the East. ”

Then, turning to Susan, who was curious, he briefly introduced the story of himself and Nagano. Of course, I won't introduce those plot stories such as arguments.,Just a simple introduction.,This is the president of the Imperial University Reasoning Club when I was in college.。 Speaking of this, Du Ping turned to look at Hanako Nagano, his eyes full of curiosity.

Du Pinghua Qizi, "You should have graduated a long time ago, why are you still here?"

Hanako Nagano, "I went on to be admitted to the graduate school of Imperial University, so I will study here for another year. ”

"Life flies so fast, how is Sakai doing now, why haven't you seen her?"

"She's back to her family's business and working. Do you want to see her?"

Du Ping shook his head, "Forget it." You know, her personality is at odds with me. ”

Hanako Nagano, "Mr. Fair, is it understandable that you have chosen to return to the East Ball to develop here?"

Du Fair, "Yes. I want to be able to contribute a little bit to the country. ”

Du Pingping's confident and self-reliant answer made Hanako Nagano stunned for a while.

Hanako Nagano, "It seems that Mr. Fair has changed a lot in recent years!"

"What's wrong?"

Hanako Nagano, "In my opinion, Mr. Fair is more confident and mature!"

Du Ping looked back at Susan, then looked at Nagano with a smile.

"People grow up, don't they? Besides, I have a very, very perfect fiancée." ”

Susan could understand the words of her fiancée in the Dongliuqiu language, so she immediately cooperated with Du Ping and answered.

Susan, "Yes, I'm Du Fair's fiancée, Susan Regan, please take care of me!"

Hanako Nagano returned the salute in surprise, but her eyes looked at Du Pingping, "You're already engaged?"

Du Ping looked at Susan next to him, "Yes, Susan will graduate next year." As soon as she graduates, we will choose to get married. ”

Hanako Nagano, "I really didn't expect it. Didn't I remember you once had a girlfriend older than you?"

Du Ping's face was a little cold, "That's already in the past." ”

Hanako Nagano also found that her question seemed to have cut to Du Ping's pain point, so she immediately changed the question to a blessing, "Okay, I wish you happiness!"

Du Ping's face finally smiled, "Thank you!"

I don't know if Susan understood what Du Ping said "thank you", or Nagano said "I wish you happiness", and at the same time thanked Nagano.

Susan, "Thank you!"

Hanako Nagano, "I'm no longer the president of the Reasoning Club. And then the reasoning club is still there, and it is developing very well. If you have time, you can check it out. ”

Du Ping thought about it, nodded, turned around and communicated with Susan, and also got Susan's approval. So the three of them came to the Imperial Reasoning Society, which was not anyone's at this time. Hanako Nagano came to Susan's side and specially pulled her to an important position on one of the walls of the detective agency, and introduced Susan in soup language.

Hanako Nagano, "This is the most important sentence that Du Ping said to the detective agency when he was at the emperor's time, and we specially made it, and since then it has been hung in the most important position in the emperor's reasoning society." ”

Susan, "What's written on this?"

Hanako Nagano looked at Du Ping and said with a smile, "Reasoning is the art of combining brain and technology, so brain and technology are indispensable. ”

Susan smiled and looked at Du Fair.

Susan, "Du is going to be a big shot." ”

Hanako Nagano, "Yes! Mr. Fair will definitely become a big shot." ”

…………………………

This happy day passed day by day, and Du Ping was slowly approaching the time of school. In this case, although she was reluctant, Susan could only get on the plane back to New York. The moment the plane at the airport took off, Du Ping did feel a little empty in his heart.
