Chapter 45: You Managed to Get My Attention
Cui Jinqi woke up refreshed.
Last night, my father came to me and asked where she was.
She replied at her boyfriend's house.
As a result, my father sighed and said that you should stay in the Shendu Cheng clan first. Because of the business of Tianluo, the degree of militarization of their clan is generally high, and the location is remote, so it is estimated that they are safer than in our clan's land.
Now that the imperial court has drawn most of the secret security forces in the clan, and the reputation of the five surnamed families is very popular, it is not as safe as other families. The Taiyuan Wang family has secretly sent a group of female dependents and children to the Xie family's land, if you didn't go out, I originally wanted to send you over......
Hanging up the phone, Cui Jinqi was very depressed. She didn't report to her family where she went, which shows that the Cheng family has a mole!
So early in the morning, she got up and changed her clothes, and went to Cheng Jinyang angrily to settle the account: I was leaked in your clan, you must give me an explanation!
Then in the conference hall, I saw Cheng Jinyang with heavy dark circles under his eyes, powerlessly typing the keyboard and dragging the mouse in front of the computer, as if he was staying up all night and working overtime.
"You, what's wrong with you?" Cui Jinqi didn't even dare to approach him, for fear of falling down if he touched him, "You didn't sleep last night?" β
"I wanted to sleep." Cheng Jinyang said helplessly, "Pour me a cup of coffee." β
Coffee beans, from the archipelago of the South Seas region, were introduced to the mainland of China by Sima Yi. Nowadays, it is mostly used to drink when staying up late and working overtime, and even add some drugs to promote nerve excitement - this is how Cheng Jinyang's dark circles come from.
"You've got pretty handsome dark circles under your eyes." Cui Jinqi said against his will, poured him a cup of coffee, and added three spoonfuls of sugar on his own initiative.
"You think I want to stay up late?" Cheng Jinyang took the coffee tiredly and took a sip, "Since I slept last night, I have been bombarded with phone calls every few minutes, and I don't have a chance to sleep at all." β
"Is the patriarch so hard?" Cui Jinqi asked pityingly.
"It's not that the patriarch is hard, it's that the Tianluo department is hard." Cheng Jinyang said with a sigh.
The Tianluo Killer of the Shendu Cheng family's own family, its cultivation cost far exceeds that of any class of the Shenwu Army. After all, in order to achieve strategic goals, the regular army can accept a certain amount of manpower loss (it can be replenished by conscription anyway), and every manpower lost by Tianluo can hardly be replenished in the short term (after all, there is a limit on the concentration of blood).
Therefore, during a large-scale war, the Shenwu Army can directly issue tactical tasks, allowing front-line grassroots officers to freely decide how to achieve it, while Tianluo's side must achieve high-precision, almost vertical management of individual units, and constantly evaluate and choose between "continuing the mission" and "abandoning the mission" to ensure that the battle loss rate is kept as low as possible.
Rao is Luotang headquarters has a mature command system, which also leads to almost all civilian personnel being tired enough to have to work late and overnight. Cheng Jinyang originally wanted to be a shopkeeper, but he was dragged up by his cousin Cheng Huaiyan's more than a dozen phone calls.
Don't you want decision-making power? Okay, there are currently 167 strategic matters that need to be decided, you can approve them first, and there are more than 400 more that we are sorting out, and we will summarize them for the patriarch immediately.
Cheng Jinyang was angry at the time: How can I make decisions on so many things alone?
Cheng Huaiyan, who has always been silent and rarely spoken, said a few words at this time: The so-called heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin......
Cheng Jinyang was speechless, after all, Tianluo is essentially the Cheng family's private army, you can't take care of it as a patriarch, and you expect the court to help you cherish it? During the war, the court would like to use your people to death!
In normal times, the workload is not so large, but on the day of the attack in Pukou District, some civilian employees were on duty at the Luotang headquarters, but they happened to be hit by a missile, and the number of personnel was reduced by 20% on the spot......
In short, if the manpower of the Luo department is stretched thin today, and he can't wait to break everyone in half, and the patriarch has also served at the grassroots level of Tianluo, and he has enough experience, how can he be left alone?
Hurry up and work overtime with us!
"Oh my God." Cui Xiaoniang sighed. Of course, she had also heard of the name of the "Heaven and Earth Net", and knew that it was the largest military mercenary organization within the empire.
The dark guard units engaged in by other families, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, are definitely inferior to Tianluo in terms of scale. After all, through the relationship between the Shendu Cheng clan and the royal family, Tianluo has obtained a legal business security work license, so he can take orders, attend and make money openly. Of course, the price is that in this kind of war period, you have to be taken care of by the imperial court.
After drinking a cup of coffee again, Cheng Jinyang finished the last few lines of orders, sent the email, and called it a day!
"I'm going to sleep." He staggered to his feet, intending to go back to his bedroom, but even coffee could not stop the surging sleepiness, and he sat down again as soon as he was halfway up, and fell asleep.
"Are you asleep?" Cui Jinqi saw that he was lying on the table and did not move, so he asked.
Cheng Jinyang did not answer.
"Really asleep?" Little Lady Cui reached out to poke his face.
Still no response.
So Cui Jinqi called the maid who was passing by, and sent the Cheng clan patriarch to the room.
Well, it's her own guest room.
She had been to the old house in Wujiang Town, where there were only two bedrooms, and one of them was still empty and could not be occupied, indicating that Miss Wang slept in the same room with Cheng Jinyang every night.
This is obviously suspicious: when there are two bedrooms, why would you rather squeeze one together than clean the other room and make it available for occupancy?
Unless there is some reason, the girls, including Wang Wanrou, must sleep with Cheng Jinyang!
Laboriously moved Cheng Jinyang to the bed, Cui Jinqi pinched his nose and stripped him of his shoes and socks, and then ......
Huh! What's next?
Take a pen to draw a little turtle on his face?
Cui Xiaoniang was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she felt too naΓ―ve. Wrong wrong! My purpose in sending him back was to find out what makes him attractive to Miss Wang!
Struggling to throw the idea of prank out of his mind, Choi Jinqi carefully observed him again.
In terms of her aesthetics, Cheng Jinyang's appearance is okay, above her own mate selection line.
It's just that the free love in the family is also a free love based on the right family, even if the Shendu Cheng clan maintains the current status of the scholar clan and does not decline, it is impossible for her and Cheng Jinyang to be in the future.
Since it is not possible, it is natural that it will not be tempted. The so-called "boyfriend" and "like you" are just Cui Jinqi's momentary jokes, in order to see the embarrassment on his face.
Cheng Jinyang also knew this, and there was no ambiguity at all, and he directly ignored her flirtation. It's just that the more he is like this, the more Cui Xiaoniang wants to compete with him, and she has to find ways to deceive him.
Hey?
Cui Jinqi, who was still looking at the other party's sleeping face, suddenly noticed the changes in the surrounding spiritual field.
The so-called spiritual field is the outward characteristic of the strength of the supernatural person's bloodline, which is similar to the brain activity that emits brain waves. By perceiving the strength of each other's spiritual fields, you can roughly determine the other party's bloodline level, such as whether it is the ninth rank or the eighth rank.
However, at this time, the strength of the spiritual field around Cheng Jinyang was fluctuating violently up and down, jumping from the eighth grade to the eighth grade, and then falling back into the eighth grade in an instant, like the electrocardiogram of a heart patient.
Cui Jinqi: ???
