Wang Chen, who was sitting in the corner, carefully put a Taoist scripture in his hand back on the bookshelf.
It took him nearly three days to read through this thick Taoist scripture.
Benefited a lot.
Although the classics do not contain any secret techniques and secrets, the nature of heaven and earth and the mysterious way of the universe gave Wang Chen a lot of inspiration and inspiration for his practice.
The "Xuanxuanzi" who created this Taoist scripture is not known to be a high-level practitioner. It is a pity that many knowledge inheritances that sparkle with wisdom are just like this Taoist scripture, haphazardly placed on the bookshelf and gathering dust.
Until he was discovered by Wang Chen, read and studied.
Only then did its glory bloom again.
Wang Chen stood up, looked around, and took a long breath.
Three years.
Calculating the time, it has been three years since he was transferred from the patrol department to the library manager!
For Wang Chen, these three years can be said to be the most stable days in his life.
In addition to his daily unremitting cultivation, he spent most of his time reading books.
With the convenience of his position, Wang Chen has read thousands of books in the past few years.
But it is only a small part of the collection of books in the library.
Now Wang Chen is thirty years old!
Although he is already in his thirties, he still looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old, young, healthy and energetic, but there is some maturity brought by time in his dark eyes.
"Manager Wang..."
A clerk hurriedly appeared at the entrance of the stairs, saluted Wang Chen and said, "Master Cao, please go to the small hall to discuss matters."
Wang Chen nodded: "Okay."
When he came to the small hall on the second floor, he saw Cao Ke, the director of the library, and four other stewards arriving.
Three years have passed, and Wang Chen is still the fourth manager, with no change in his position.
But Cangshuge is a cold unit in the cold yamen of the Yongle Immortal City system. Regardless of the director or the manager, everyone is actually sitting on a cold bench, and it doesn't matter whether they are high or low.
In addition to the principal and stewards, there was also a young monk with an arrogant face present.
As soon as Wang Chen saw it, he knew that this person must be from a fairy family!
"I've called everyone here today to announce something important."
Cao Ke said expressionlessly: "This fellow Taoist He Haoming will take over as the director of the library starting today!"
Wang Chen and several stewards couldn't help but look at each other.
Wang Chen could tell the identity of this young monk, so how could the other stewards not be able to tell.
What everyone doesn't understand is, how could a member of a noble family come to the library to be in charge?
Even if it comes down to gilding, there are many places that are better than the Library Pavilion!
But doubts remained doubts, and several stewards quickly reacted and congratulated the new director one after another.
He Haoming responded reservedly: "Dear colleagues, I will be in charge here from now on, and I will need your help. There will be a banquet in the Crescent Building tomorrow night, and I invite you all to attend."
"The boss is too polite!"
Everyone spoke in unison, creating a scene of harmony and joy.
Cao Ke stood up and said, "Master He, I have something else to do tonight so I won't go. Goodbye."
After saying that, he left the small hall directly.
He Haoming was obviously caught off guard, and his face sank subconsciously.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.
Wang Chen watched with cold eyes, feeling a little bad in his heart.
Because the former director, Cao Ke, walked away in a hurry, the meeting involving personnel changes ended without any embarrassment.
In the evening, after the library was closed, when Wang Chen came home from get off work, he suddenly received a letter from a crane.
He changed directions and came to a nearby tavern.
Met Cao Ke again.
"sit."
Cao Ke motioned Wang Chen to take a seat and poured him a glass of spiritual wine himself.
In the past three years, Wang Chen has not been far or close to other managers, and has limited to polite interactions between colleagues.
But he has a good relationship with Cao Ke.
"What happened?"
Wang Chen picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and asked, "Why did the superiors suddenly transfer you away?"
"It would be better if he was transferred away."
Cao Ke smiled bitterly and said: "I have been left idle."
Wang Chen was shocked: "Ah?"
To put it simply, being idle means being unemployed and being kicked off by the superiors.
If Cao Ke's work is not serious and beautiful, then there is really nothing to say.
To be fair, although Cao Ke has a somewhat aloof character, under his management, all matters of the library have always been arranged in an orderly manner, and no mistakes have ever been made.
He actually lost his seat just like that.
The problem is that being the head of the library is really not a good position!
Wang Chen couldn't help but ask: "How could this happen?"
"I didn't show any filial piety to my superiors this year."
Cao Ke's expression was bitter: "Something happened at home, and all the spiritual stones that I finally saved have been used up."
Wang Chen was speechless.
The director of the library sounds nice, but he really has no merit to speak of, yet he still has to take care of his position to keep his position!
"lets change a topic."
Cao Ke shook his head and said seriously: "I asked you to come here to remind you that this He Haoming is not a good thing. Don't give him any leverage in the future."
He Haoming is a descendant of the He family.
The He family is one of the top immortal clans in Yongle Immortal City, and their family's great business and influence are deep-rooted.
He Haoming originally served in the Department of Internal Affairs, but because he was involved in a corruption incident, he was assigned to the library to hide from the limelight. As a result, Cao Ke suffered an unreasonable disaster!
This descendant of the He family has very good talents and is regarded as the seed of the golden elixir. He is greedy in nature and values profits and wealth.
"He hosted a banquet for you just because he wants your gifts!"
Cao Ke said: "If it's less, it's not enough. If it's less, you'll have to be prepared to be tricked by him!"
"But you can't give too much, otherwise he will think you have a lot of oil and water and try to squeeze it out."
Wang Chen couldn't believe it: "No way?"
"Why not!"
Cao Ke sneered: "He wants to condense the golden elixir, but the family alone cannot collect the eight treasures of the elixir. He will try his best to get some from the outside. Don't even think about getting a third-grade golden elixir!"
I see!
Wang Chen has also been collecting elixir-condensing treasures, and he knows very well how difficult it is to obtain high-grade elixir-condensing treasures!
As of now, he still has two heavenly and earthly treasures that he has not obtained.
"Anyway, just be careful."
Cao Ke finally said: "If you want to continue to hang out in the library, He Haoming must pass this level."
Wang Chen was very confused.
After staying for a few years, he is very satisfied with his current job. Although he is regarded as a salty fish by others, he has actually gained a lot from reading books for a long time.
Once you leave, it will not be easy to continue borrowing books and reading in the future.
But if you bow your head to someone like He Haoming for the sake of a mere steward...
Wang Chen thought, if the problem cannot be solved, then can the person who created the problem be solved?
