Chapter 33 Ride the Rocket
The Prime Minister did not enter the venue halfway—he left after saying three words.
However, no one tried to question Dai Bingcheng or Li Zhen anymore. Because the appearance of the Prime Minister actually showed a certain attitude - he did not want the meeting to continue to delay endlessly on such topics.
No matter what actions some people will do in the future, at least the current situation has calmed down temporarily.
The so-called "main business" of course refers to the kind of species.
The use of nuclear weapons by the Gate of Truth caused an uproar among the top leaders. Originally, many people did not believe that such an organization would use nuclear bombs to deal with species. In fact, before Li Zhen showed his abilities, most people did not take species to heart.
However, no matter how offended they feel they are, they have to admit the fact that this kind of thing is indeed terrible.
It was so scary that they could accept that the Gate of Truth was trying to use a hydrogen bomb to destroy it.
The expressions of most people have become solemn because of the sea snake that was previously discovered in Taiwan, which was suspected to be affected by mutation. This solemnity is not because of how powerful the species itself is, but because of the ability shown by Adam.
Adam was still in childhood, not in full body. But such a guy could affect hundreds of people - if it appeared in the center of the city, in a square with dense crowds...
That means that nearly a thousand crazy C-level abilities will launch a tragic massacre against ordinary people around you.
What about changing Adam to a fully-body adult species? How big will this impact be?
The most important thing is that it is "extremely difficult to eliminate". The power displayed by Li Zhen has brought them unprecedented shock. Thinking of this lieutenant as a rare A-level, one of the only four survivors in a fierce battle, this worry is even deeper.
Besides, that kind of species seems to have appeared - the news that Li Zhen once tried every means to ask them to know was sent to everyone by the waves, reminding everyone that it was not just a guess, but a fact that was very likely to be happening.
The Gate of Truth has come to the forefront of the empire - they have studied species more than twenty years earlier. And now they seem to be trying to destroy or capture another living species, which makes people worry about their true purpose. Such an organization certainly does not have the noble idea of defending the world or saving humanity. Instead, their goal is more likely to be to use the terrible power of species to destroy something.
Considering the news they posted on their official website recently - they may have planned to switch careers to become a terrorist organization in some sense.
So the meeting continued in a slightly awkward atmosphere and it continued until after five o'clock in the afternoon. The adults did not delay as usual - because perhaps they felt that such things might not necessarily threaten the empire in a short period of time, but the gate of truth would definitely threaten the empire and their own interests.
When Li Zhen and Dai Bingcheng walked out with the chief executive, it was already completely dark.
The winter temperature in Yanjing is slightly higher than that of Pingyang, but it still has nothing to do with "warmth". The heating in the house made Li Zhen sweat slightly. As soon as he walked out of the door, he felt a chill coming to his face, and the moisture on his face turned into cold air.
The three of them avoided the others and walked to a pine and cypress next to the door and stopped.
Then the president was silent for a while and said to Dai Bingcheng: "This time it has been considered a definite relationship with the Shennongjia incident. After you go back, you can prepare it. The appointment should be in your hands soon."
The expression on his face was always calm, and Li Zhen couldn't tell what he was about Dai Bingcheng. If he said he had more protection... why didn't he get angry before coming?
But if it is said that it is a relationship alienation, why did he make a clear position in the venue?
Dai Bingcheng whispered: "Yes."
The old man nodded, turned his gaze to Li Zhen, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "You are very brave. Who taught you how to do this?"
Of course it is Director Dai.
But Li Zhen didn't say this - he was not a fool. He asked such words in front of Dai Bingcheng... was he hitting him by himself?
Li Zhen has always subconsciously thought about something as complicated as possible recently. However, after thinking about it, what he said is—
"I can't listen to their tone." He faced the light at the door and showed an angry expression on his face. "So many people died - so many people died for this country, is it suspicion that I have been for? I'm not worth it!"
The expression and tone were just right, and the general manager and Dai Bingcheng were slightly stunned.
Dai Bingcheng shouted in a low voice: "Pay attention to your tone!"
However, the general waved his hand and looked at Li Zhen's face carefully, with a smile in his eyes: "Good boy."
Without saying much, he nodded to Dai Bingcheng: "The personnel arrangements in the yard will follow your wishes. Just say hello to me. Go back early."
Then he turned around and walked away on his own.
So only these two people were left on the spot.
Dai Bingcheng looked at the general's back and went directly to the other end of the road before he breathed a sigh of relief, showing an unaware smile from the corner of his mouth. He nodded to Li Zhen: "Let's go."
Li Zhen captured this smile, thought for a moment, and understood why Director Dai's mood suddenly seemed to have improved a lot.
"This meeting has set the character of the Shennongjia incident." - Is it good or bad?
"The personnel arrangements in the yard will follow your wishes." - The result is self-evident.
Director Dai...is going to become President Dai?!
He looked at Dai Bingcheng's face with his eyes as he walked, and the latter happened to look at him. So his eyes ran into him awkwardly. Li Zhen had to laugh: "Congratulations."
Dai Bingcheng raised his lips slightly and cursed with a smile: "Is there anyone who talks to the superior like this? You were really brave just now!"
However, there is no point in blame in his tone, but most of it is praise. Part of it is because he is satisfied with his performance, and the other part is... because of his answer just now, right?
Li Zhen scratched his head: "I didn't hurt anyone. For the last moment, I almost lost my strength."
"Your temperament has to be restrained." Dai Bingcheng shook his head slightly, "Do you understand what the general manager meant just now?"
"That's why I said congratulations." Li Zhen smiled, "I'll call you the dean in the future."
Dai Bingcheng looked at him in a little surprised for a while: "Are you pretending to be stupid?"
Li Zhen showed an innocent expression.
Dai Bingcheng sighed helplessly: "There were many people in the game who were more experienced than you and had stronger abilities. Unfortunately, they are gone now. They are definitely a good seedling and have a good background. However, now they are like this, they will not be able to do it for a while. Yan Ling... is always inappropriate. She has too many things in her heart and is also C-level. So, after I leave office..."
Li Zhen stopped.
This is not a trick or a pretending exaggeration, but he was really stunned for a moment.
He had thought about this possibility - after all, there are only two executives in the Secret Service Department now. However... this idea just circulated in his mind and disappeared without a trace. It should be noted that the Security Bureau is not a high school class. If 50 people in a class die, 48 of them will die, and the remaining two will of course be the class monitor and the other deputy class monitor - because there is no reason why one class monitor is sent from other classes.
However, the Security Bureau? There is always something like "airborne"?
Director Dai has resigned... Li Zhen has long been ready to accept a strange new director.
But what does this mean now?
He didn't say that thought. Because he was still a little stunned until now, fearing that the words would come out and eventually he would just be embarrassed.
Dai Bingcheng looked at him for a long time and said "ah": "You kid are really pretending to be stupid."
Then he patted Li Zhen on the back and signaled the two of them to continue walking forward. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "The tradition of the Security Bureau, the director must be a capable person, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public. There are such things as airborne, but when he encountered such a special situation - a crisis that has not been encountered in a century, the scene of a lonely soldier. In the past, this position was chosen from the internal staff, but now there are only two of you. The field staff... there are a few suitable people, but they might have considered it in the past, but now they cannot adapt to the high-intensity battle, and they don't even know the information of the types of people."
"So, you have to prepare well, boy!"
Li Zhen didn't say anything for a long time, until Dai Bingcheng looked at him again, Li Zhen hesitated and said, "I... haven't graduated from high school yet. I'm less than 20 years old. Even if you have this meaning..."
"What do you think the chief of the head wants me to arrange the personnel affairs in the hospital by myself?" Dai Bingcheng smiled, "Say a little more, the deputy head of our base... I'm afraid the chief of the head will be the chief of the head."
Li Zhen's heart was thumping. But Dai Bingcheng's next words calmed him a little, or was a little disappointed - but also made him a little relieved.
"But you are not confused." The future President Dai said approvingly, "Your qualifications are definitely not good. Our department is quite special and there is no deputy director. My plan is to give you a major title - according to your credit, there will be no objection. The position of the Director of the Security Bureau is the major, which is unstoppable. But you cannot do this position, you can be responsible for some specific affairs. In terms of the general direction, I will check it. After all, you still need you to lead the overall situation. You are not capable of being able to do it. You will be able to hand over this bureau to you after the battle. You will be unable to do it for a while and bring a group of newcomers."
Li Zhen listened silently. Although he wanted to act calmly... However, he was just a young man after all. A trace of joy unknowingly climbed up to the corner of his mouth, and even Dai Bingcheng saw the joy in his heart.
So Dai Bingcheng joked: "You're riding the Rockets. No one in the Empire has been able to ascend from private to major in one year - how does it feel?"
"It's like dreaming." Li Zhen answered honestly, "I feel a little... guilty."
Dai Bingcheng understood what he was referring to, so he sighed: "A general's success has been broken - it's not your fault. But this trip has not been in vain. At least we know that those people... have not sacrificed in vain."
The atmosphere was a little low for a moment. After the two walked side by side for a while, Li Zhen finally couldn't help asking a question: "Director, will you be awarded the title in the future?"
Dai Bingcheng walked through the shadow of the trees and after a while, he said: "The empire's title is only fourth-class. King, Duke, Hou, and Bo. In the past two hundred years, there has been no precedent for people under the age of 50 to be awarded titles."
Li Zhen was silent for a while: "You know that's not what I mean."
So Dai Bingcheng smiled and said, "Are you asking about the class? So what kind of person do you think Ying Gong looks like?"
"Ying Gong is the title he inherited."
"Haha... it has nothing to do with this." Dai Bingcheng laughed in silence. "If you want to change something, you must first understand something in depth. Adding a drop of clear water into the mud and water may not see any changes - so what if it is a thousand drop or a billion drop? It will change one day."
"But we can't expect everyone to be out of the mud and give up what they have already obtained. The subtle power is also terrible." Li Zhen said depressedly.
Dai Bingcheng raised his eyebrows and came over Li Zhen's back: "I said, what's wrong with you kid? Are you hinting at me?"
Li Zhen looked at him and frowned slightly: "It's just that I'm very disappointed with those people today. I didn't expect those people to be like that - the rulers of this country would be like that. I don't want to see you become that kind of person."
"The road is far away and the horse's strength can be seen, and people's hearts will be seen over time." Dai Bingcheng whispered, as if he was talking to himself again, "All roads lead to Rome."
Perhaps it was because of today's incident. The anger in the conference room today, the feeling of being moved by Dai Bingcheng trying to bear something for him, and the joy of knowing that he might be "upgraded" - these complex emotions were mixed together in just a few hours, making Li Zhen a little impulsive at this moment.
Therefore, after walking on the main road, Li Zhen suddenly said in a daze: "You should be able to see that after walking out of that cave, I have changed."
Dai Bingcheng looked at him in surprise and said nothing.
Li Zhen left a few more words and took a deep breath of the cold air: "But I am still me."
Dai Bingcheng still didn't say anything. After a while, just as Li Zhen began to feel a little upset about his impulse, Dai Bingcheng suddenly smiled: "In the future, call me Uncle Dai at home. I am only three years younger than your father."
"Um."
