"I've discussed it with Professor Luo." Director Wu said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I sincerely invite you to enter our Qingshui Yamen, I'm afraid I can't afford it, after all, the noble son of a billionaire family will not look at this little salary, and he will not be happy to be bound by this kind of work." What's more, if you talk about money, selling our small unit is not enough to invite Chairman Su's son. Moreover, you have always seemed to be a little repulsed by Qimen Jianghu and our special institution directly under the official jurisdiction, and you prefer a peaceful and leisurely life rather than being a Qimen Jianghu Warlock. So, we would like to hire you, as our supernumerary, with the title of deputy director, um...... Don't refuse, listen to me, I can give you the greatest convenience and freedom for the Qimen Jianghu matter, how about listening to the tune or not listening to the announcement? This is the treatment that only those vassal kings who supported their own troops or warlords who held heavy troops in ancient times. ”

Su Chunfeng was stunned, which one is Director Wu singing?

Luo Tonghua smiled and said: "Let's talk about the ugly things in front, there is no salary for supernumerary temporary posts." It's not that we're stingy, there's no way, Director Wu also said just now, this is a Qingshui Yamen, and you will be given the position of supernumerary deputy director, or our internal decision, we will not submit a formal report to the above, and naturally there will be no work file. However, if you want to come to Chunfeng, you won't take this little salary in your eyes. ”

"Frankly......" Su Chunfeng scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I will only choose to refuse this, but I am still very curious, since you want to give me the name of the official deputy director, but you allow me to decide not to do anything freely, Director Wu, Professor Luo, what do you think?" I don't think there's anything so good in the world. ”

If, there are no additional conditions.

This is definitely a good thing.

You don't have to deal with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so you will naturally not offend people, and you still have a semi-official position - this is not an ordinary position, this is not a temple, but you have the protection of the official identity - umbrella, let alone the Qimen rivers and lakes, even those foreign warlocks, if they want to maliciously do something to Su Chunfeng, they have to think carefully and weigh - if this is not careful, it is tantamount to provoking a river and lake, a country, and if it is not done well, it will also cause a secret strict diplomatic incident.

Director Wu nodded, and said: "That's the case, some time ago, after the International Magician Friendship Exchange Group of College Students and Warlocks came to our country, there were several incidents during this period, especially those involving you, such as the incident in the Centennial Hall of Beijing University, and the fact that you accepted Kawamoto Okazaki's covenant to fight and fight, all of which made us realize that we had neglected several important issues before-Qimen Jianghu and Warlocks are stored in the framework of the real society, but many aspects are bound to be different from reality. For example, in terms of foreign exchanges, we consider that under the international environmental situation, it is inevitable that Qimen Jianghu will be integrated with the international magic community, so we are working hard to promote the development of this matter. Obviously, in this process, we will encounter a lot of difficulties and exclusion and resistance from all sides, so appropriate forbearance, showing our measure and atmosphere, is undoubtedly the most correct choice, in line with the tradition of our ceremonial state, but also beneficial to our foreign exchanges and long-term development. However, blindly making forbearance regardless of occasions and events is not generosity, but will be mistaken for cowardice, so sometimes appropriate toughness is necessary. And it is difficult to grasp the degree between the two. Professor Luo and I have had a serious discussion on this, and based on your past appearances in every incident, I feel that you are very suitable to take on the important role of grasping this degree. Therefore, we hope that you can become a representative figure in Qimen's foreign exchanges, attend some occasions and deal with some problems. Frankly speaking, there was another most crucial factor that made me decide to choose you, that is, you are still young, and you have absolute personal strength in terms of magic cultivation, plus you have a flexible mind and are careful and cautious...... When communicating with the outside world, you can be at ease in the younger generation, and among the older generation of warlocks, you have enough strength and city. Even occasionally, when we need to take a step back at the end because of some disputes, we completely use the fact that you are still young as a reasonable excuse. ”

"This ......" Su Chunfeng couldn't cry or laugh, Director Wu's last sentence was really a bit of a scoundrel's petty trick, but the scoundrel itself is a kind of diplomatic means, don't talk about the diplomacy of the magic world, the diplomatic struggle between the governments of the country, and the interests of all parties are involved. Su Chunfeng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Director Wu, Professor Luo, I don't think I can promise you. ”

"Why?"

Su Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As the saying goes, diplomacy is no trivial matter, and there is no room for negligence and delay, I am not arrogant, but I think that my ability in all aspects is not enough to be qualified for such a position, let alone grasp the affairs of diplomacy, and besides, after graduation, I will enter the work of Vantone Logistics, it is difficult to say that I have enough free time to do these things, so ...... Director Wu, Professor Luo, you better ask for another master, I'm sorry. ”

said it tactfully, but Su Chunfeng was thinking in his heart, what are you kidding, since ancient times, people in the rivers and lakes have not entered the temple, and the closer the relationship with the temple, God knows what unpredictable things will happen.

For the safety of yourself and your family......

Or winglets are good.

Director Wujian's face was a little displeased, he didn't believe Su Chunfeng's obviously perfunctory excuse, and it was impossible to think that Su Chunfeng would refuse because he had no salary...... For Su Chunfeng, if he is not a person who does not know what to do, then there is absolutely no reason to refuse this invitation, because it will not benefit him in the slightest. On the contrary, if he agrees, then the benefits are obvious - the official has given him absolute trust, and he naturally has official protection, in this case, who will dare to provoke him without opening his eyes?

Perhaps, he still wants to sit on the ground and ask for higher conditions?

"Chunfeng, your reason for refusing is a bit far-fetched." Director Wu smiled and said: "Young people, they should have their family and country in mind, have lofty ambitions, and can't always simply consider their own side. Well, let's only talk about your personal interests, think about it, what will be the consequences of this Vantone Express financing incident without official support? Can you solve it yourself? Perhaps, you think that your magic cultivation is high, and you can deter all parties from acting rashly with your own strength, or retaliate strongly afterwards. Let's not talk about whether you can wipe out all the enemies in the later retaliation, whether you can ensure your own safety, whether the official will turn a blind eye to your crazy behavior, even if you can do this, but all forces will not be deterred by you, so the final result is nothing more than a fish to death, so can Vantone Express and Vantone Logistics Group keep it? What does it cost? Wounding the enemy for 1,000 and losing 800 of yourself, your father has worked hard for so many years, and you can't bear to watch his hard work go to waste? Shouldn't you do your part for the country based on that? ”

Su Chunfeng smiled and said: "Director Wu, I have expressed my sincere gratitude several times for the Wantong Express incident, and as you said, without the help of the official, Wantong Express would never have encountered such a huge crisis, not only safely, but also better development." But this matter is only limited to the fact that I should express my gratitude again when you raised it, and besides, I have also fulfilled my promise to you - the Kyoto University Student Warlock Association, I have participated in all aspects of the work, so that I did not hesitate to suffer a natural backlash, and strongly suppressed eight foreign university student warlocks at Beijing University, ensuring that there would be no unexpected situation at that time, and then I had to accept the challenge of Kawamoto Okazaki and Lee Ying-so to ......fight with Kawamoto Okazaki in public."

"You stinky boy, what about business?" Director Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Although, these words will seem to be shameless and unrighteous, but I mean it." Su Chunfeng sighed softly and said: "I think that the Wantong financing incident is not only Wantong that ultimately benefited, but in fact it is equivalent to giving the official a reasonable excuse to attack the powerful forces of the three major families of Lu, Xu and Xiao, and to make an example to deter all parties, and I have also done my best in this regard, such as the Douglas family this time to cooperate with my country's official investigation and is willing to testify." So, I can be cheeky and say that I can't talk to the officials about who owes whom. ”

Wu Jian and Luo Tonghua looked at each other.

And so it is.

Su Chunfeng doesn't owe anything to the official.

After all, there are too few people in this world who measure problems like Su Chunfeng and dare to open the skylight with the official to speak brightly. If he continued to be more honest with Su Chunfeng in this regard, he could even say confidently: "If I don't do anything, shouldn't the official be in charge of the people and taxpayers?" Need additional conditions? ”

After a moment of silence.

Luo Tonghua said indifferently: "Chunfeng, I know why you refused ......"

Su Chunfeng showed a wry smile on his face.

"The biggest concern of the Qimen Jianghu Warlock is nothing more than the natural rules of the Heavenly Dao in the dark. Moreover, there are so many things in the world that there will always be a striking resemblance to history, so that all Qimen warlocks have to be cautious in this regard. Luo Tonghua sighed lightly and said with a serious expression: "But you should be able to see that in today's era, the Qimen rivers and lakes are very different from the rivers and lakes and the environment in thousands of years of history...... At the very least, globalization has become an irreversible trend, which has never happened in the history of Qimen Jianghu and is almost unimaginable. Yes, the cruel historical experience warns every Qimen Jianghu warlock that those who live in temples do not get involved in the rivers and lakes, and those who live in the rivers and lakes do not enter the temples. At one time, I also had this concern, so I have been careful to treat myself as a line between Qimen Jianghu and the official for a long time, and I have been playing a sideline game with self-deception, only as a representative rather than a pure official person. What now? I have completely let go of these concerns, and the warlocks of many countries in the world have long stopped thinking about the disadvantages in this regard, Shi Linhuan is a master of physiognomy, and it stands to reason that he should be more afraid in this regard, but he resolutely chose this path. Do you know why? ”

Su Chunfeng looked puzzled: "Why?" ”

"It's very simple, the world is naturally changing, the elephants have changed, the temples in history no longer exist, and the general trend has gone." Luo Tonghua smiled slightly and said, "I said that, can you understand?" ”

"Hmm." Su Chunfeng nodded in shock.

Therefore, compared with the past dynasties, the word "family, country and world" is now of more practical significance to everyone. Because the country we strive to pay for is not a dynasty with a family name, but a home for each of us. Professor Luo Tonghua understood it with reason and moved with emotion, and then said: "Even if you are still skeptical about this, you should also realize that the so-called diplomacy between Qimen Jianghu and the global magic community is actually a non-governmental organization, a foreign-related organization that has not formed the Qimen Jianghu Alliance. ”

Su Chunfeng frowned, lowered his head and pondered.

Long.

He looked up and smiled: "Although it is a temporary position, a quota that is not on the staff, but there is no salary, it is really unreasonable, right?" ”

Luo Tonghua smiled heartily.

Wu Jian also showed a pleased smile on his face, and then straightened his face and reprimanded sternly: "You are the state finance, do you spend taxpayers' money casually?" If you don't officially go to work, it's impossible to get paid, so there's nothing to talk about. ”

"I'm just going to get down the stairs." Su Chunfeng was a little angry, "Do you really care about this little money?" ”

"Appropriate reimbursement of some travel expenses, as well as some subsidies in various aspects, can still be considered." Luo Tonghua looked at Wu Jian with a smile and said: "Director Wu, no matter how tight the financial funds given to us from above, we won't be so stingy, if it really doesn't work, let Shi Linhuan come out first, he is a rich man." ”

Wu Jian smiled: "Okay, you go and talk to Shi Linhuan." ”

Su Chunfeng couldn't cry or laugh.

Looking at the entire Qimen rivers and lakes, who would have imagined that the person in charge of the official control of the Qimen rivers and lakes would joke and play a little scoundrel so easily in private?

"Well, let's do it." Luo Tonghua got up and said, "Chunfeng, let's go, go to my office, there is some information about the international magic community, you need to know about it......"

Su Chunfeng nodded and bid farewell to Director Wu.

He had no reason to refuse.

If there is really no such thing as "those who live in temples and halls do not get involved in the rivers and lakes, and those who live in the rivers and lakes do not enter the temples", then whether it is from the perspective of national justice, morality, or private interests, such a position is really an identity that every person in the Qimen rivers and lakes dreams of but cannot be able to - the affairs of the Qimen rivers and lakes, Su Chunfeng can ignore it according to his own temperament, and the official gives him the right to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and it will not cause the people in the Qimen rivers and lakes to resist and be vigilant against him because of his official status. Because he will not intervene in the affairs of Qimen Jianghu in a semi-official capacity. At the same time, with such an identity, he can really take advantage of the general trend to keep a distance from Qimen Jianghu, not to be deeply involved in it, and not to be involved in many incidents. Because, no one in the Qimen rivers and lakes would stupidly provoke Su Chunfeng, who has a semi-official identity.

Therefore, just this semi-official identity is enough to eliminate many small hidden dangers and troubles for him.

As for representing Qimen Jianghu and state institutions to carry out diplomatic matters with the global magic community, Su Chunfeng felt that there was not much problem in this regard, because he knew very well that although Director Wu and Professor Luo had given him the status of diplomatic representative, in fact, the real diplomatic affairs were naturally handled by more professional people, such as Professor Luo Tonghua, or the elites selected from the Qimen Jianghu, as for him Su Chunfeng...... The main duty is actually to show the strength of the warlock of the Huaxia Qimen Jianghu, to put it mildly, he is a vase-like ornament - young, exquisite magic, profound cultivation, strong strength, and this is just a casual cultivator on the Qimen Jianghu, without any assistance from the family of the sect, purely self-taught at any time. Of course, if necessary, this vase will become a figure who stands up to show the strength of Qimen Jianghu, so that the global magic community knows that Huaxia Qimen Jianghu not only has the generosity of the state of etiquette, but also uses fists. What reassures Su Chunfeng is that this kind of manifestation of force usually appears in public, and the fighting method will not produce a strict life and death fighting method, nor will it form an irreconcilable contradiction because of the result of the fighting method. As for the conflicts between some other warlocks because of various interests, they have nothing to do with the diplomacy of the magic world, to put it bluntly, they are to kill or bury.

Watching Su Chunfeng and Luo Tonghua walk out of the office, Director Wu lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, and shook his head with some emotion.

Su Chunfeng was chosen, in addition to being young, highly cultivated and capable, there was actually another reason why he didn't say anything to Su Chunfeng, that is, Su Chunfeng was a loose cultivator on the Qimen rivers and lakes, with good family conditions, upright and kind heart, he didn't like to make friends with the mountains, and he didn't have much selfish desire for fame and fortune, so the official didn't have to worry about Su Chunfeng, who would be in a high position in the future, to use power for personal gain for personal or friend interests, etc. The first to take a fancy to Su Chunfeng and want to recruit him into the official institution was Luo Tonghua, and what makes Wu Jian feel emotional now is the plan of integrating Qimen Jianghu with the international magic community and integrating into it, which was led by the official in advance A few years ago, in fact, it was proposed by Li Quanyou.

In Li Quanyou's plan, the control of Qimen Jianghu must be two-pronged, strong attack and deterrence, which is one thing, but the symptoms are not cured. On the other hand, it is from the control and guidance of fundamental interests, so that the sects, families, and scattered cultivators on the Qimen rivers and lakes are all aware and recognized from the bottom of their hearts that they must follow the footsteps of the official in order to meet their own interests. The history of Qimen rivers and lakes is thousands of years, although modern times have experienced a hundred years of withering period, but after the revival and prosperity, the traditional concept of rivers and lakes is still deep-rooted, making it difficult for the official to obey and recognize the official control and guidance from the heart, so the official can only start from new, external interests.

In this day and age, the trend of globalization is unlike any other in history.

This gives the official an opportunity not to be missed.

A far-sighted official can justifiably and unshirkably represent the Qimen Jianghu to make contact with the international magic community, so as to occupy the initiative and absolute control of diplomacy in this regard. In this way, unconsciously, the major forces on the Qimen rivers and lakes will naturally recognize the official as their representative, leader, and protection agency, so in the conflict of interests in the global magic community, they must keep up with the footsteps of the official, from the outside in, and slowly form a stable and reliable upper and lower control system.

Therefore, there was a plan to form the Qimen Jianghu Alliance.

Although the plan to form the Qimen Jianghu Alliance was broken by Su Chunfeng at the last moment, the diplomacy between Qimen Jianghu and the international magic community can still be, and in the current environmental situation, it must only be led by the official.

No one on the Qimen rivers and lakes will object to this.

Because the rivers and lakes have withered for a hundred years, there is almost no contact with the international magic community, and any sect and family is a smear in this regard, and the first forces to go abroad will have a feeling of loneliness and helplessness outside, and all parties are jealous and helpless. Even the Qingluan Sect, the largest sect in Qimen Jianghu, is recognized as an invincible figure in the world on Qimen Jianghu, and the company is often unable to carry out overseas business after going abroad.

They need to have a strong backing when they go abroad.

There are no other than non-official institutions that can do this.

This game of chess can be described as a long-term layout and extremely clever.

It's a pity that Li Quanyou's temperament is too strong, so that before this game of chess reached the middle game, he lost to Su Chunfeng outside the chessboard, and also lost to his own character and obsession, and ended up depressed.

However, the game finally came alive.

Qimen rivers and lakes......

Wu Jian raised his hand and rubbed his forehead lightly, externally, the official layout started early and moved quickly, and no one could change the diplomatic affairs between the Qimen Jianghu and the international magic community that were dominated by the official. According to the many secrets of the rivers and lakes that the official has learned so far, it is foreseeable that in the near future, conflicts and contradictions will occur frequently, and the official has lost some of the prestige that has been accumulated with great difficulty because it has not been very good in several incidents, so that if it wants to directly intervene in the affairs of the rivers and lakes in a short period of time, it will be powerless, and it will also be resisted by the strong or obscure resistance of the people in the Qimen rivers and lakes.

So now, Wu Jian and Luo Tonghua are looking for and waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to change the current situation of the rivers and lakes and transfer the contradictions in the rivers and lakes. As long as the entire Qimen rivers and lakes are twisted into a rope, they will be able to work together externally.

At the end of the day, Qimen Jianghu is an integral part of the country.

Qimen Jianghu goes abroad, representing a part of the image of this country!

Qimen Jianghu people are citizens of this country.

The interests of Qimen Jianghu in the world are also the interests of this country!
