Chapter 333: The Chief's Instigation
In the whole world, there is only one person who can make Zhao Li put down his pretense and salute sincerely no matter what time he is, and that is the old prison warden.
"Do you have time?" The old prison warden looked at Zhao Li with a smile, and suddenly asked Zhao Li this.
Zhao Li's face turned red. Anyone can see the scene of his barren silver, Zhao Li doesn't care about it, and even considers deliberately letting others see it. But only the old warden is different, he is a person who knows Zhao Li's character, so this set is useless to him, and he doesn't want the old warden to see it.
"There's time at any time!" Zhao Li replied categorically, then turned around and instructed Kristine: "Kristine, no matter what meetings or communication requests, don't answer them all!" ”
Christine walked out obediently, and Zhao Li pressed another button: "Ah Die, that, no one is seen, the Supreme Commander came and asked him to wait outside the door!" ”
After ordering all this, Zhao Licai once again faced the old prison warden, still standing straight: "Sir, I'm ready!" ”
"Don't be so serious." The old warden smiled and waved his hand: "Sit!" ”
Although the old warden has retired, Zhao Li is in front of the old warden, no, just in front of the video of the old warden, but he still maintains the courtesy of his subordinates to his superiors, and has not changed at all because his military rank is already a general, which is higher than when the old warden retired.
Zhao Li once saw the old prison warden communicate with some senior officers, those who were already generals still maintained a straight military appearance and respectful attitude, and now it was his turn, but he also maintained the highest respect for the old prison warden like everyone else.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Li sat on his chair very respectfully, his eyes staring at the old warden's face tightly, as if he was saluting.
"Boy, you've been doing a good job lately!" The first thing he said after sitting down was that the old warden began to praise him.
"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Li also calmed down a little from the excitement of seeing the old prison warden again, and naturally spoke a lot, not the excitement just now.
"It is said that your hobby is quite good, which is the envy of countless people!" After the old prison warden praised him, he immediately made another joke.
Just after being seen by the old prison warden, Zhao Li also felt quite embarrassed, so he could only say with a wry smile: "It's all spread by others." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhao Ligang said half a sentence, but the old prison warden quickly waved his hand to stop: "Young man, it is very normal to have a harmless hobby, if you keep guarding like a saint, I believe you will definitely not be able to achieve this position in front of you." ”
As he spoke, the old warden smiled hesitantly: "Back then, my old man didn't have such a good brain and staff as you, and he didn't understand anything stupidly, and he suffered a lot of losses, but he realized later." The old guy from the principal was the same, and then he finally showed his protection for his students, which can be regarded as a turnaround. ”
For the first time, Zhao Li heard the old prison warden talk about what happened to him and the principal before, and he pricked up his ears for fear of missing a little. The old warden glanced at Zhao Li again, and resumed that ridiculous look: "However, my old man just shows a little preference for food, you are good, beauty!" I knew there would be such treatment, and I pretended to like beautiful women back then. ”
"Sir, beautiful women are also troublesome." The tone and demeanor of the old prison warden are easy to calm down, and although they are separated by the screen, they still have this effect. Zhao Li's speech was completely normal, like a junior and elder complaining, but this tone was more comfortable than the tone of the superiors and subordinates.
"What's the trouble?" The old prison warden stretched out his hand and suddenly picked up a piece of gray-brown stinky tofu from nowhere, took a spoon and put a spoonful of caviar on it, and then sent it down in one gulp, then picked up another glass of red wine, gestured to Zhao Li on the screen, and then took a sip gently.
After so many years, the old prison warden still retains the bad taste of red wine with caviar on stinky tofu, and Zhao Li can't help but have a big head. I don't know if he really likes this way of mixing, or if he's just taking these top-of-the-line things and squandering them. However, as long as he is happy, whatever he spoils, isn't it just something?
Thinking of this, Zhao Li suddenly understood a little bit about the generals who had been supplying these super-grade delicacies to the old prison warden, and it was estimated that they had the same idea. As long as the old warden is happy, what does it matter if the thing is really liked or not?
"The beauties are piling up, they can't stop it, and many people have a lot of thoughts." Zhao Li seemed to vomit bitter water, and simply said his troubles in one sentence: "Beauty, living people, it's not stinky tofu and red wine, you eat it, you drink it." ”
"What's the difference?" The old warden stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of stinky tofu, which still fell high in his mouth, and after a few sips, he took another sip of red wine: "Since they are all thoughtful, then eat and wipe clean and change hands and don't admit it!" If you like it, eat a few more bites and lift the brand a few more times. If you don't like it, you will be transferred away and put into the cold palace, you are the commander of the military region, who will say anything? What a good enjoyment of the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces, six courtyards, do you still want to talk about your relationship with these beauties? ”
The old prison warden said happily, and he didn't care about the black lines on Zhao Li's face at the moment. If you follow the old warden's approach, you may immediately be given another name, such as being unkind, being a bad man, or something, which is not a good reputation.
"Worried about a bad reputation?" The old prison warden seemed to have seen through Zhao Li's thoughts a long time ago, and asked first.
"Hmm." Zhao Li had nothing to hide from the old prison warden, so he nodded and hummed, which was regarded as an acknowledgement.
"Cut!" The old warden was dismissive of Zhao Li's worries, and expressed all his thoughts in one word: "You kid, are you really?" So why do you have to carry a lustful reputation? Is the reputation of lust good? Since it doesn't sound good, then the surname Suo does it even worse. Anyway, you are young, and you have time to slowly revise your hobbies, maybe in a few years, you will be surrounded by all the beauties you like. ”
In this remark, the latter part is basically ridiculing, but the previous remarks make a lot of sense. After the old prison warden's words were finished, Zhao Li fell into thought.
"Just like cultivation, since you have chosen a direction, then even if there are many difficulties and dangers ahead, you must move forward bravely." The old warden smiled evilly, as if he was really happy when he was educating a simple and honest child to become a pervert: "Since you have made a name for being lustful, you can't let so many people find out that you are actually very innocent, right?" Failed life strategies are like failed strategies that will cost you a lot. ”
The words of the old prison warden seemed to be remembered in Zhao Li's heart, and Zhao Li couldn't help but think of the strange behavior of Christine and the girls in the secretariat today. originally thought that they were just cooperating with themselves to create such a lustful reputation, but now that I think about it, there must be another deep meaning in it, and it is by no means as simple as it seems.
Zhao Li's lustful reputation has spread, and the performance of those female secretaries today is completely a posture of being jealous and wary of outsiders. If a person who comes into contact with these for the first time will definitely make such a judgment, correspondingly, Zhao Li's lustful reputation will be more affirmed.
Maybe Kristeen had already anticipated all this, so she deliberately made such an arrangement? For a long time, Zhao Li just thought that he had created such an image, or such a weakness, just to give his invisible enemies in the army a pigtail that he could grasp and an opportunity to take advantage of.
However, even people like the old prison warden and the headmaster actually had to show a little bit of persistence in certain things to show weakness, which was not something that Zhao Li could think clearly for the time being. But one thing is for sure, no one is perfect, and at least one superficial weakness is much better than being caught on the ground.
The higher the status, the greater the risk. Zhao Li had long understood this under Kang Hongyuan's ear. However, Zhao Li was suddenly very strange, Kang Hongyuan, such an old and cunning man, what weaknesses does he have?
Can't do martial arts! Almost as soon as this question appeared in his mind, Zhao Li thought of the answer. doesn't know martial arts, and at present, he is weak, only Zhao Li is supporting him. These two should be the weaknesses he revealed.
"Sir, why did you deliberately look for me today?" Zhao Li thought for a while, and felt that he understood a little, but he was still a little confused, and the surname Suo didn't want to do this for the time being. The old warden deliberately contacted himself, by no means telling himself that it was as simple as being lustful, there must be something else.
"I just wanted to ask you a few words." The old warden's expression also returned to normal, no longer the same teasing as before. Looking at Zhao Li's face, he suddenly asked, "You have broken through the ninth level now, right?" Was it the old guy who helped? ”
"Yes, sir." Zhao Li didn't hide it, and directly told him how the principal pulled him over, how he arranged him to be an instructor, and let him break through under pressure.
"Damn, this guy is going to pick up the bargain." The old warden nodded while listening, but in the end, such a sentence suddenly came, which made Zhao Li not have the slightest mental preparation.
"What?" Zhao Li didn't stop his mouth either, and muttered these two words.
"With your cultivation, as long as you are in the position of commander of your military region for half a year at most, you can naturally break through the bottleneck, and he is good, give you a big gift in advance, and let you owe favors to others." The old warden was very indignant: "Damn, let you break through, won't I?" Need him to get the first shot? ”
These words were somewhat involved in the grievances between the two old men, and Zhao Li couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to say anything. It's just that I'm more interested in the old prison director's statement that he can be naturally promoted in half a year at most.
"Ban Yunchan, that female doll, should also be a ninth-level master now, right?" The old prison warden didn't say anything more, but suddenly asked Ban Yunchan.
"What, is there a problem? Sir? Zhao Li, when the old prison warden talked about Sister Ban, he immediately became nervous and hurriedly asked him.
"No, I'm just telling you that sometimes, as long as your eyes are opened, upgrading is just a matter of course." From his tone, the old warden immediately judged that Ban Yunchan was really already a ninth-level master: "She has a huge amount of money, and millions of people under her command have to live on her, this kind of vision and height, it's no wonder if you don't upgrade!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Licai was a little stunned. From the very beginning, Sister Ban seemed to have a higher vision than herself, and it was not unacceptable to upgrade in advance. But hearing this reason, Zhao Li also understood why the old prison warden said this. Being in a high position, he naturally has a wide range of knowledge, and the improvement of his realm is indeed stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.
"Then why aren't the other military commanders ninth-level masters?" Zhao Li knew that General Lucas was an eighth-level master.
"Because they don't have the qualifications you have." The old warden unceremoniously commented on those big people who should have been on top: "Being able to mix this status and this body cultivation is already their extreme." ”
Zhao Li will not comment on these big names for the time being. In fact, except for a few generals he had come into contact with, others didn't know everything at all, let alone anything.
"Tell me, why didn't you think about looking for me when you were on the edge of the planet and you were almost going to die?" The old prison warden was reluctant to talk more about these people, so he changed the topic and asked another question: "I said that at any time, if there is any obstacle that cannot be overcome, you can come to me." ”
"I don't know." Zhao Li shook his head: "At that time, I was still responsible for the life and death of two hundred brothers, and everyone had to die together, and I didn't think about it so much." ”
"What about the rest of the time?" The old warden asked again.
"Small problems are not worth it, big problems just hone me." Zhao Li's answer was also somewhat interesting, and he could clearly express his thoughts.
"So, do you have any thoughts now?" The old warden was not surprised by Zhao Li's answer, because he did just that, and he never asked the old warden, and even when his own skills were almost abolished, he didn't look for it: "For example, do you want to go one level closer, be promoted to general, and become a real military commander instead of an agent, or are you interested in the command?" ”
The old prison warden's words surprised Zhao Li. Although he knew that the old warden was very energetic, he didn't think that he was so strong, and he could even take it out to say that he even entered the headquarters, which Zhao Li didn't expect.
"I'm now on the cutting edge and it's not the right thing to go any further. Moreover, I am young, and I have time to climb up slowly. Zhao Li thought about it, but still rejected the kindness of the old prison warden: "Sir, if you really want to help, can you help me solve the matter of the elf planet?" ”
