Chapter 664: Heiankyo (Grand Chapter)
Ren Yi? Why are you here? Cheng Lin slowly took off his sunglasses and looked at the person who walked down the steps with a little surprise.
Fang just talked to Liang Jing, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and it wasn't until now that he realized that this was actually an acquaintance - Ren Yi, that is, the chief "scientist" of the No. 16 spiritual land, a student of Dean Wu Mingxun of the Demon Capital Spiritual Qi Research Institute, and half of Cheng Lin's "teacher", gave a lot of advice in his previous promotions and trainings.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for a while, but I never thought that I would meet here.
On the long stone steps of Yanshan, Ren Yi did not wear her signature white coat, but wore a long coffee-colored windbreaker, the collar was slightly upright by the cool breeze, and the collar of a warm sweater was exposed.
Her hands were tucked into her coat pockets, and a pair of calfskin boots were firmly attached to the stone steps, stepping on half of the yellow leaves.
"On a business trip." The change in Ren Yi's expression quickly calmed down, and then replied briefly.
Liang Jing, who was on the side, saw this scene and said to Cheng Lin with great interest: "I still have something, you talk first, and call me at any time if you have something." β
"Okay, thank you." Cheng Lin politely thanked Liang Jing and sent Liang Jing away, then he looked at Ren Yi and said, "On a business trip?" Now this is ......"
"When you're done, go around," Ren Yi replied, then hesitated, "Together?" β
"Okay." Cheng Lin readily agreed.
The two walked down together, and soon came to the foot of Yanshan, Ren Yi came on a business trip, naturally he didn't drive, the two thought about it, and they didn't call a car, just walked silently along the nearby streets.
Near Yanshan, because it is very close to the dignitary area, there are fewer people here and it is not so crowded.
This time, the sky is still bright, but it also has the meaning of a little dark.
The two walked silently under the street trees and did not speak for a long time.
"How did you remember coming here on a business trip?" Cheng Lin finally asked.
He still remembered that the reason why Ren Yi ran away from the gate and was successfully poached by Shen Shanjing was because he was ostracized by the academic circle, and a lot of pressure came from the circle in the capital.
So later, even though it was proved that her research direction was correct, she stubbornly never left Spirit Land 16.
This stubbornness is also reflected in the Mid-Autumn Festival, when I had to send moon cakes for myself.
Therefore, Cheng Lin was indeed very surprised that she appeared here.
"There's no way, some research results have been favored by the above, and they are ready to raise a special research team, but there is a lack of a person in charge, and a 'gold medal' has been sent over, who dares not to follow?" Ren Yi stuffed his hands in his pockets, didn't look at him, and said in a deliberately pretended not to care.
Not...... I don't know why, this tone seems a bit arrogant......
Cheng Lin looked at her unexpectedly and said with a smile: "That's congratulations." β
Although Ren Yi's attitude is relatively cold, it can be heard from the words that this must be a big deal.
can force the state to force her to come over and lead and set up a laboratory, which shows the importance of the project.
This leap from the person in charge of a spiritual land in a province outside the Guanxi to the leader of an important project laboratory at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the improvement of identity and status must be huge.
And the reason why she came here is probably not because of a simple order, she herself must have a certain will.
Think about it, how much temptation should it be for a researcher to have the opportunity to do a big project? Ren Yi is a talent that should not be held back in the No. 16 spiritual land.
was criticized at the beginning, was excluded, and had to go to the gate in disgrace, but now he is personally invited back by the top, tsk, pretending to be forced to slap the face The plot is standard......
Therefore, Cheng Lin's congratulations are sincere, and he is sincerely happy for his "half teacher".
"Yes." Ren Yi hummed a syllable out of her nose, so low that she could barely hear it, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared, and then she finally turned her head and said in a complicated tone, "Congratulations too." β
"Congratulations on what?"
"Congratulations, you don't have to hide so hard anymore." Ren Yi said in a slightly sarcastic tone, deliberately accentuating the words, "Our big master!" β
Big Master...... Sounds like a kind of burying people......
Cheng Lin touched his nose awkwardly and said, "You know everything?" β
"What do you think? The moment such a big thing ends the projection, the whole world knows about it, eh...... I'm referring to the cultivation world, but the general public is also coming soon, and sooner or later they will have to know. β
"I'm sorry, I ...... before" Cheng Lin said halfway before he was interrupted by Ren Yi:
"Actually, I've already guessed a few."
"What?" Cheng Lin was stunned.
Ren Yi walked in the cold winter wind, reached out and pulled down the high collar of the sweater: "I said, I already knew that you were not simple, do you really think that I have done a full set of physical examinations for you several times, and I really can't see the abnormalities in the data?" β
Cheng Lin's mouth moved: "Since when?" β
"The time you asked yourself about your kidney function ratings."
"......" Cheng Lin was speechless, and said in his heart, can we not mention the matter of kidney function?
"Then why didn't you say anything at the time?" Cheng Lin couldn't help but ask.
Ren Yi looked at him with burning eyes: "Why do you want to say it?" In contrast, I'm more curious about who you really are and how long you'll be hiding. β
Well, it's really hard to guess what a woman thinks...... Cheng Lin sighed in his heart, and simply let go: "Now that it's public, are you happy?" β
But he never thought about it, Ren Yi tilted his head, and suddenly said very seriously: "I always feel that you still have other secrets." β
Seeing that Cheng Lin stopped talking, she smiled to herself: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in snooping on your little secret...... The main thing is that I can't do anything about you with a seven-grade ......"
That's a true word of the truth, isn't it?
Cheng Lin was quite speechless, but he was not worried, when he burst out his first layer of vest, he was ready to speak openly and honestly.
The reason why I still hide some is that I want to take my time, just like window paper, it is better to moisten it a little bit.
If you stab it to the end at once, everyone will hurt.
The two fell silent again, and then saw a car suddenly parked on the side of the road, Ren Yi picked up his mobile phone and shook it:
"The car I called, have dinner together? Maybe in the future, there won't be much time to meet. β
Cheng Lin smiled: "Okay." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Sitting in the car, shuttling through the glass window to a small piece of the capital, neither of them spoke again, after all, they had to avoid the driver.
The journey was much longer than he expected, and when they arrived at the place, the two got out of the car, and the sky was completely dark, and in winter, the dark came early.
As soon as Cheng Lin looked up, he saw a brightly lit building, and blurted out, "Where is this?" β
Ren Yi didn't know where to take out a small scarf, put it on, and said, "Theme park, today is Christmas Eve, it's more lively here." β
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that today was indeed Christmas Eve.
β¦β¦
A long time ago, everyone had their own festival, but when it opened, the boundaries between many things would be blurred, and although Christmas was not local, in the end, it was still lively.
The theme park is European-style, the buildings inside are imitations of the kind of castle and the like, there are many trees, all of which are decorated with lanterns, probably because of the festival, there are a lot of tourists tonight, Cheng Lin and Ren Yi walked together, and they were extremely inconspicuous among the men and women.
There are a lot of activities and stalls in the park, as well as programs or something, the two of them walked and walked, and their mood was much better for a while, and the estrangement that existed as if there was nothing was also reduced a lot.
"Look over here," Ren Yi suddenly turned his head in surprise, "Santa Claus." β
Cheng Lin looked over and found that two Santa Claus in classic clothes came over, both dressed fat and fat, without reindeer.
The hat on his head was soft, and looking at his face, he turned out to be a foreigner, but unfortunately he was not sure which country it was.
Carrying huge red pockets and handing out small gifts along the way, it should be a staff member invited by the park.
Ren Yi ran over briskly and took back two free trumpets from Santa Claus's hand.
The colored one, stuffed one in his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and blew it, and the curly horn suddenly "beeped" and elongated, and then retracted again.
"Here's for you." Ren Yi handed over the other one.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. Cheng Lin thanked politely, stood in the sea of people, pinched the fragile horn, and wondered if this would be too naΓ―ve...... Not in line with who you are today.
In hesitation, he subconsciously pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and then blew as well: "Toot-"
The mood suddenly became a lot better.
After laughing silently, Cheng Lin saw Ren Yi looking at him quietly and said, "When you come back this time, you should be planning to talk to the Special Affairs Department?" Are you ready to plan? β
So let's get down to business?
Cheng Lin held the colorful small toy between his fingers, groaned, nodded and said:
"Sort of. Shi Shengcun made a pact with me before...... Well, gentlemen agreed, the next step should be to carry out deeper cooperation, each taking what he needs. β
Ren Yi nodded, and then said:
"On the one hand, your strength lies in strength, which is also the most intuitive, but it is not what the Special Department needs...... In the past, the international situation was tense, and a seven-rank realm was naturally very important, but now...... I also got some information and knew that if nothing else, I might think that the pattern would stabilize for a while......"
"You mean the headquarters is worried that I'm not in control?" Cheng Lin fiddled with the small toy and asked rhetorically.
"I'm not the group of people sitting in the headquarters building of the Special Affairs Department, I don't know, it's just a guess," Ren Yi rolled his eyes and continued, "But no matter how you look at it, your personal combat power is no longer what the organization needs in today's situation, on the contrary, there is a certain degree of fear, well, given your position and performance all along, you don't have to worry too much, just think more about it in your heart." β
After a pause, Ren Yi continued:
"In contrast, your other advantage is more important, and that is the information you have, I mean about things like the Ascendant, projections, etc., not surprisingly, this is what the headquarters values the most."
"So?"
"So, I just want to remind you, when you are negotiating, don't be stupid to say everything, disclose some information appropriately, show value, but don't strip yourself naked, save yourself a loss. Anyway, they don't dare to persecute you, heh, you have been hiding for so long, you shouldn't be stupid, I guess you also thought about it...... I'm just mentioning it in passing, anyway. Ren Yi said in a flat tone.
Cheng Lin was silent and asked rhetorically, "Why are you talking to me about this?" β
Ren Yi didn't answer, just looked at a bouquet of flowers lit by the lights in the distance, and walked over with a little excitement:
"Let's go, there's a restaurant over there, and I'm hungry."
Cheng Lin looked at the back of his "half teacher" and thought, is this considered a shortcoming?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
That night, the two tacitly did not engage in any further conversation on the subject.
It's just a simple meal, a simple play, and after witnessing the bells ringing on Christmas Day, he left with countless young people.
Waving their hands, they said goodbye to each other and said "goodbye" to each other.
When Cheng Lin returned to Yanshan, contacted the people of the first division, and entered a residence halfway up the mountain, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.
Taking off his coat and sitting in a quiet room, Cheng Lin held a basket of "peace fruits" bought from the park and slowly ate them until dawn.
β¦β¦
In the next two days, Cheng Lin did not leave Yanshan again, nor did he go to a higher place, but just called He Shu and took him around the mountain.
Because it is winter, the scenery is naturally not as good as summer and autumn, but fortunately, it is not too boring.
When he was sitting in the courtyard, Cheng Lin could also glimpse the turmoil in the outside world from the faces of those who came and went, and thought that the follow-up matters could not be completed in a short time.
For this reason, he was even ready to spend the New Year here, and thought that Shi Shengcun would not be able to spare time for a while, however, on the third day of his stay in Yanshan, Liang Jing knocked on his door:
"The head of the department and the people in the ministry want to see you."
Liang Jing said.
Cheng Lin stood at the open door, thinking that this was much faster than he expected.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Walking on the steps of Yanshan, Cheng Lin stepped upwards without hurrying.
The meeting place is on Yanshan, the simple and elegant Taoist temple-like building where Shi Shengcun lives.
Liang Jing followed beside him, not saying a word, but Cheng Lin could feel the weight of her eyes.
Soon, a vermilion gate appeared in front of me.
"Please." Liang Jing said.
Cheng Lin nodded, walked through the door with a complicated mood, and then entered a clean courtyard.
The tree in the courtyard was withered and bare, far less beautiful than the trees in the spirit world, but it was peaceful.
There was a wooden wheelchair under the tree, and Shi Shengcun sat quietly on it, with a small thin quilt on his knees, his clothes were more casual, and he seemed to be distracted.
The moment Cheng Lin came in, he retracted his gaze and said with a smile:
"We meet again. Sorry for the physical disability, I was going to find you myself. β
"Your legs ......" Cheng Lin's eyes moved slightly.
The latter waved his hand not too concerned:
"I've suffered some wind and cold, so I'm not very flexible for the time being, but fortunately, my ability didn't rely on my body very much in the first place."
Cheng Lin tasted the word "wind and cold" and didn't say anything, and then he saw the other two people standing under the eaves in the courtyard.
One of them, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was an acquaintance, Xu Ji, the vice-minister in charge of diplomacy in the elven projection exploration.
At this moment, he was wearing a formal suit, and he looked at it very seriously.
Beside him, there was another clerk, wearing a uniform with a small lapel and a white circle embroidered on the collar, which meant that he belonged to the civil service system and should also be a member of the special department, and was cautiously looking at him with curious eyes.
There is no such thing as an "old man"-level character...... All are young...... Cheng Lin thought in his heart that the minister of the Ministry of Special Affairs had not arrived, and it seemed that Shi Shengcun was still responsible for this matter.
Just thinking about it, Xu Ji had already walked over, stretched out his hand with a smile, shook hands with Cheng Lin, and said with a smile:
"You remember me, right? We met in the projection of Shudu. β
"Minister Xu, of course I remember." Cheng Lin said, and he was about to move his gaze to another person, and Xu Yu hurriedly introduced him: "This is the first secretary of the headquarters, Secretary Zhao, who came over this time to be responsible for the recording work." β
First Secretary......
Cheng Lin nodded, he knew a little about this position, and he didn't know it in other departments, but in the Ministry of Special Affairs, he belonged to the closest person to the minister, although it was a "secretary" position, but the invisible power was very great, and this time he obviously came on behalf of the minister.
Cheng Lin's thoughts flickered, and he exchanged a few polite words, and then he fell his gaze on Shi Shengcun again, who folded his hands on the brocade quilt, and the wheelchair under the seat rotated out of thin air, and at the same time, a carved wooden door opened silently: "Please, let's go in and talk." β
The room was austere, without too many fancy things, the most conspicuous thing was only a desk, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall.
Then there is a coffee table and a few large pear chairs that are obviously temporarily moved, and there is a tea tray on the coffee table, on which a delicate purple sand teapot is boiled, steaming hot, and the fragrance of tea is permeating.
"Please." Shi Shengcun came to the front in a wheelchair, and then invited three people to sit down casually, and Secretary Zhao filled the teacups for several people in turn.
"Taste it? This year's new tea ...... It's just not very clear if it's to your taste. Shi Shengcun smiled gently.
Cheng Lin was not restrained, he pinched the cup when he heard this, took a sip, and then said with a smile:
"I don't know much about tea ceremony, I can only drink it as a drink, and I can't taste anything if I spoil good things, but it quenches my thirst."
He put down the empty teacup and said casually.
Shi Shengcun said with a smile: "Tea was originally here to quench your thirst. β
After a pause, he suddenly squeezed his eyebrows and said honestly: "Actually, this tea ceremony...... I won't ...... either."
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, the atmosphere was a lot more harmonious.
Waiting for Secretary Zhao, who was holding back a smile next to him, to fill the cup again, Cheng Lin did not passively wait for being questioned, nor did he get straight to the point, but said: "I originally thought that I would wait a few more days." β
Shi Shengcun looked at him with those translucent eyes with a smile and said:
"Some things can wait, some things can't wait, after I reported your matter, it caused a lot of movement, well, considering the power and other factors, this matter was still taken over by me, I thought, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that the minister and Xu Ji should not be able to sit still."
"Oh?" Cheng Lin glanced at Xu Ji, who was a little embarrassed, through the mist on the teacup, and said with a smile, "Then I'll be flattered." β
