Chapter 199: Asking for Someone for the First Time in My Life
In the capital, in the office of a certain national brand, Xiao Cheng was sitting at the end of a long table, and more than a dozen senior officials sat on either side of him looking at him.
A cadre about sixty years old sitting opposite Xiao Cheng lifted his glasses and looked at Xiao Cheng seriously: "Senior, we have all read the content submitted by the hidden door. They say that you have seriously interfered with them and can cause a lot of unnecessary consequences and bring a lot of trouble to the country. And what you just said is completely lacking in evidence, we really want to believe you, but now we have to pay attention to evidence, and we can't be unhappy with Yinmen because of your few words. ”
Xiao Cheng stared at him: "What do you mean, I'm old and confused, and I don't even have a little basic judgment ability, right?" ”
The cadre smiled: "Senior, I didn't say that." However, it is also true that you are getting older, and some things may not be complete. Just like the young man you just said, how much ability does he have to compare to the hidden door? You also know how many things the hidden door has helped the country solve in the dark since cooperating with us. And they are loyal to the country, and they are also very easy to use, much stronger than the dragon shadow you built. Now you're making us believe that young man who came out of nowhere, what does that make Hidden Gate think? People are doing their best to serve the country, and we slap others with our backhand, isn't this a clear sign that the country doesn't trust them? ”
Xiao Cheng frowned tightly: "But the hidden door, after all, is not a state institution. They are just civil organizations, and Dragon Shadow is the real state institution. All along, we have been working on building an organization that can go beyond the hidden door and finally get rid of the need for the hidden door. Now that this young man is the hope of the Dragon Shadow, do you want to strangle him in the cradle? In this day and age, is there not even such a precious thing as hope? ”
The cadre smiled bitterly: "We gave you fifteen years, but Long Ying himself is not angry." In the past fifteen years, the Hidden Gate has given them so much help, but they just can't produce any powerful characters. In the end, some dangerous things still have to be hidden to wipe their butts. It's not that we don't want to cultivate, but if they don't fight for themselves, they can't blame us. ”
Xiao Cheng was furious: "Is that because the dragon shadow is not good?" It's the Hidden Gate that has been interfering, as long as the Dragon Shadow comes to the talent, it will soon be poached by the Hidden Gate. Dragon Shadow is like an incubator, good talents are poached, how can they get up? ”
Another cadre smiled: "If the dragon shadow is really good, it will definitely attract talents to stay." I think that Long Ying should be allowed to reflect on himself why everyone is willing to go to the hidden door. ”
Xiao Cheng stared at the cadre sitting opposite him: "Minister Li, I have told you many times that the Hidden Gate has always been ambitious. They are outwardly respectful to the country, but in private they are very dirty. Now that Long Ying has finally produced a young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, we should train him well, at least give him a chance. Are you really willing to always pin your hopes on a civil society organization? ”
The cadres began to whisper, Xiao Cheng clenched his fists tightly, he hadn't been so excited in many years.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my original intention in creating Dragon Shadow was to keep someone. That person, you all know. But in the end, I couldn't keep him, but he left me a gift. I have been taking care of this gift with Dragon Shadow for fifteen years, and now he is finally grown up and full of life. As long as we can nurture him well, he will be able to thrive and one day take off with the dragon shadow and become a real barrier for the country. ”
"But you can't kill him so quickly, you have to give the young man a chance to take off, you can't let him be abolished so quickly." Xiao Cheng said excitedly: "That young man's life is in your hands. Let go, he can fly very high. But if you hold on tightly, it may not only be his future that will be destroyed, but ours as well. ”
Minister Li sighed: "Old chief, I know that you are thinking about the country in everything, and I also want to help him." But to be honest, the No. 2 leader came to me not long ago and said that if it was not necessary, the dragon shadow could be eliminated. ”
Xiao Cheng stood up: "Why? ”
Minister Li: "The cost is too great, and the money to raise the Dragon Shadow can support an army." We are now working with the Hidden Gate, and we don't need to pay too much money, we just need to send someone to monitor them. The most important thing is that the hidden door is efficient, as long as they make a move, there is never an unfinished task. But if you look at the dragon shadow again, it has become more and more difficult in the past few years, many tasks cannot be completed, and in the end you have to ask for help from the hidden door. Tell me, what is the purpose of such a department? ”
Xiao Cheng seemed to have been drained of his strength, and sat on the chair, as if his life's efforts had just been defeated.
Minister Li comforted: "Senior, I know that you have put a lot of effort into Dragon Shadow. The second leader is also very considerate of you, and thinks you have worked too hard. But the dragon shadow himself is not angry, you, don't be too sad. This is from the perspective of overall strategy, not for you, there is really a hidden door, there is really no need to raise a superfluous dragon shadow. ”
Xiao Cheng's eyes changed several times in an instant, he was angry, unwilling, irritable, and wanted to overturn the table now.
Dragon Shadow is not only his heart's work, but also the work of all the Dragon Shadow members.
It's not that they don't work hard, but there is a hidden door that keeps pressing them all the time, and a lot of hard work is in vain.
Xiao Cheng has figured it out now, no wonder the hidden door dares to destroy the dragon shadow with great fanfare.
It turned out that they had received the wind in advance, knowing that the country had the intention of cutting off the dragon shadow.
As long as they raze the Dragon Shadow Headquarters, it just gives the country the pretext to lay off the Dragon Shadow.
"Old-timers." Minister Li said worriedly: "Do you want to go home and rest?" I'll send you! ”
Xiao Cheng suddenly looked at him: "Give me a chance, how about it?" ”
"Huh?" Minister Li opened his mouth wide.
Xiao Cheng stood up suddenly, walked up to Minister Li in the surprised eyes of everyone, and then bowed deeply to Minister Li.
Minister Li and all the cadres stood up in fright, they were facing the founding fathers of the country, the old heroes who had galloped on the battlefield and shed blood and sweat for the establishment of the country, and they could not afford this worship.
Minister Li hurriedly went to help him: "Senior, old chief, you are tormenting me." Hurry up, or I won't have the face to go out. ”
But no matter how Minister Li pulled, Xiao Cheng's body was as if it was cast in iron, and he didn't move at all.
The other cadres were also anxious, and folded their hands and begged Xiao Cheng not to do this.
Xiao Cheng's face looked at Minister Li's shoes, even if he died in this life, he never bowed to anyone, even if the devil's bayonet pierced his stomach, he never scolded, grabbed the devil's bayonet and shouted to charge.
But now, for the sake of Long Ying and for the country, he bent over for the first time in his life.
"Minister Li, I beg you to give you a chance. Let the young man give it a try, and let him prove it on behalf of the dragon shadow. I only need one chance, if he can't prove it, I, Xiao Cheng, will personally dissolve Dragon Shadow. Please, give it a chance, okay? ”
Minister Li nodded anxiously: "Okay, okay, if you have something to say, you can give you ten chances, you get up first." ”
Xiao Cheng straightened his waist and looked at him with burning eyes: "Don't do it so much, I said that the Dragon Shadow Line will definitely work." Just one chance, if I can't prove the value of their existence, I disband them! ”
