Chapter 335: A Busy World 5
Huaicheng's External Information Office is responsible for receiving letters from outside, most of which are official letters, but many are sent to private individuals. As a result, the External Information Gathering Office has been very lively.
"Is there any letter from me?" another one came to get a private message.
The monk in charge of sorting out the letters replied without raising his head, "Personal letters need to have a waist card to prove their identity, but what about yours?"
The person who came silently handed over the waist card.
The waist card was handed to him, and the monk who had been sorting through the letter finally raised his head and looked directly at the person in front of him. She glanced at the man's eyebrows, and suddenly froze, and stood helplessly in place for a few moments before stumbling and shouting, "Chief ......"
The one standing in front of her to get the letter was actually the newly appointed Chief Elder of the Guardian Alliance!
The Chief Elder came to pick up the personal letter in person!
The monk couldn't help but be shocked. Whether it is the former chief elder Yu Yao, or all the other elders, there will never be less of a spectrum, Huaicheng is very acceptable to this, and is accustomed to it, and even approves of this approach - the high-level should take care of everything, just leave this kind of small matter to others to do, what if you do everything yourself and are tired? What should I do when I encounter danger?
This realization reached its peak after Yu Yao was assassinated in public.
Although most of the people in Huaicheng don't have a high sense of identity with this new Chief Elder, no matter what, she has always become the Chief Elder, that is, the face of the Guardian Alliance. Even though everyone inevitably questioned her because of her age and qualifications, they finally accepted this matter and tacitly accepted her by default that she temporarily had the status of chief elder.
The fact that Duran had actually come to pick up his personal letter was indeed a great surprise to the monk. The first reaction of a person who is accustomed to high-level posing will not be "this new chief is so approachable", but "this new chief is a bit down". Power creates a shackle for people, and when people get used to it, they simply throw away the keys themselves.
Duran really didn't care what the monk in front of him thought. She received a hint from the waist tag that she had a personal letter, so she came. For her situation of only staying for a short time, if she has become a leader and has to consider how an unknown native views her behavior of gaining trust, then she is too inferior.
Duran tapped the table in silence, reminding her to hurry back to her senses and focus on her job.
The monk who was sorting out the letter bowed his head, "I'll show you the way......"
"You're of a very high standard, and there's a special place for personal correspondence from the other eldersβI'm sorry, we should have sent it to you, but you also know that there has been so much change in the city lately, and we're too busy......"
"Don't bother, that's fine. Duran nodded blandly, and followed the monk through the many bookshelves piled high with letters, and took the letter from her that was clearly addressed to her.
There are two letters, sent by Shen Huaiyan and Lu Youran respectively.
Of course, Du Lanzhen didn't mean to open the letter here, and nodded at the monk, "I'm sorry for you." After she finished speaking, she was about to leave.
However, just as she was returning the way she came, passing by the monk's desk, Duranzhen suddenly stopped.
"Whose letter is this?" Duran said, gesturing to the letter on the table. There were a lot of letters on the table, and it was obvious that they had just been divided, some of them were stacked on top of each other, some were only two or three, and what Du Lanzhen was pointing to was a lonely letter that had been placed aside.
"That's Wei Yu's letter from the elder......," replied the faint monk who followed her back like a pitiful little monk, "just sorted out, and hasn't had time to put it on the shelf......
Duran was silent, staring at the letter for a moment.
The monk who followed behind looked at her in confusion, as if he did not understand her intentions, but did not dare to disturb her.
"I'll bring it to him. Duran pondered for a moment, reached out and took the letter in his hand, and put it in the storage ring along with his two letters.
"Hey, Chief ......"
Du Lanzhen looked at her with a questioning expression, and there was a kind of natural certainty between his eyebrows, as if his request was right, and dissuasion was unreasonable.
"Chief, personal letters must be collected in person...... the monk said stiffly.
"Did you send a message to Elder Wei?" Du Lanzhen asked.
"Not ...... yet"
"That's good. When Duran heard this, he smiled, "Well, you should not have received this letter." β
In an instant, the monk who was sorting out the letters was in a cold sweat. She, she can't be accidentally involved in the open and secret battles at the top, right......
"I don't want a third person to know about it. Duranzhen then said, her gaze falling on the monk's face, flat and unquestionable. "Do you know what I mean?"
"But ......" But if she pretended not to know and let Du Lanzhen take the letter, then she would offend Wei Yucheng?
"If you don't say it, no one will know. As if he hadn't been pressed enough, Duran threatened further, "If you don't agree with me taking it, then you've offended me." If you agree with me to take it and tell Wei Yucheng instead, it will not only offend me, but also offend him. But if nothing happens to you, you will not offend me or him. β
Even when she threatens people, she seems gentle and polite, but as long as you stand in front of her and feel her subtle strength, it is difficult for anyone to say "no" in front of her.
"I, I see. The monk replied intermittently, "I have never seen this letter." β
Of course she will give in, and Duran knows that very well. The Guardian Alliance is this ethos, the ethos that she disdains but has to admit that it is really cool when she has power. The loss of boundaries for power is never a good thing for an organization, but it has to be said that people with power are really cool.
"If there is a letter like this next time, you know what to do, right?" Duran asked.
"I understand...... I'll buckle it down for you. β
Duran laughed. She happily reached out and stroked the monk's sideburns, and said softly, "Good girl. β
The girl who was sorting out the letters looked at the woman in front of her who seemed to be a goddess, she was so beautiful and so gentle, but she looked into her eyes...... It's so scary.
It's as if she's not looking at a person, not at a thinking being, but at a useful tool.
There has never been a moment when this girl understands better than now, in the eyes of the higher-ups, ordinary people can only be regarded as alive, but they are not considered to exist.
Du Lanzhen wrote down the girl's name and appearance, took the three letters, and walked out of the foreign information collection office with great pleasure.
