I think back then, Qifeng was the follower Bai Wei chose from thousands of people.

He was able to become Qi Feng's secretary-general not only because he was smart and knew how to get things done, but the bigger reason was that Bai Wei was the first to firmly follow Qi Feng before he became the first general.

people.

Bai Wei is a person who knows how to get on the right boat in time.

Back then, when he was still working under the Faceless Hand, he saw Qi Feng at a glance.

At that time, Qi Feng was still relatively unknown in Highgate, but Bai Wei could see at a glance the ambition that could not be concealed in Qi Feng's eyes.

Bai Wei likes ambitious people, or he is really fed up with people like Wu Mian.

In terms of strength, Wu Mian is indeed a very powerful guy.

But for Bai Wei, this may not be a good thing.

Bai Wei himself is a person who likes glory and wealth. When he first followed Wu Mian, he thought Wu Mian was very strong, strong enough to make him one of the most noble people in Highgate Kingdom.

But Bai Wei actually really enjoyed the days following Wu Mian.

More than ten years ago, the storm caused by the Ole Empire swept across the entire planet.

As a witness to that war, Bai Wei naturally saw the miserable appearance of the citizens of the defeated country throughout the whole process.

That hell-like scene was enough to frighten people like Bai Wei who valued interests.

Therefore, during the most difficult period of the war, Bai Wei did not hesitate to regard Wu Mian as his most solid support.

At least when there are scorched corpses everywhere outside, Faceless can allow them to walk safely on the battlefield, and even face the enemy peacefully, instead of falling to the ground and becoming a new corpse.

Bai Wei admitted that he was actually obsessed with that feeling.

Faceless is indeed very strong. People who have not been in contact with him will not understand how strong he is.

It is indeed a very relaxing thing to put all your burdens on another person.

However……

Slowly, as the shadow of the war faded, some things began to change strangely.

Bai Wei is different from other people in Highgate Country. He admits that Faceless is still as strong as ever, but a person as strong as him is no longer suitable for the current world.

After the war, Bai Wei thought that with his faceless military exploits, he could successfully get a good reward. If he was smarter, then he would be the number one person in the Highgate Kingdom.

When the time comes, as a follower, how can he get the biggest reward?

However……

Bai Wei eagerly waited for the result, but it was Wu Mian's disastrous defeat on the new battlefield.

When everyone was frantically dividing up the fruits of the war, Faceless seemed out of place.

He neither knows how to fight nor gets what he deserves.

Bai Wei suddenly realized that all this guy could think about was fighting. Apart from this, he knew nothing else.

This was like shocking news, giving Bai Wei a blow in the head.

"General, should we... change some equipment?" One day, Bai Wei pointedly said to Wu Mian.

He was getting a little angry when he saw the people who came out one after another recently to grab credit. However, Wu Mian was usually not very talkative, so those around him did not dare to say anything to him.

Even Bai Wei could only make insinuations.

"Change the equipment?" Wu Mian raised his head slightly, "Why do we need to change the equipment? Did the top management approve the budget again?"

"No, it's not." Bai Wei said.

"It's just that the equipment we have now looks too ugly. There have been some rumors in the media recently, saying that our things look too ugly and that military expenditures have been deducted. After all, the weapons of other generals look more powerful.

There are so many..."

"Ignore them." Wu Mian said calmly.

"The budget is already very small now. If the Ole Empire attacks during this winter and we are not prepared, the situation will definitely be very bad."

Bai Wei felt as if he had choked.

Of course he knows that the group of people blocking the Ole Empire are very important now... but the situation in Highgate is equally important!

"Then...should we go and promote ourselves like the other generals?" Bai Wei asked again.

In the past few days, he had watched several generals around him engage in various activities. Some of them specially took pictures of his heroic posture on the battlefield, and some even deliberately found a few "actors" to pose for pictures.

And these methods that seem extremely inferior in the eyes of senior executives are actually still pursued by many people.

Turning around to look at their general... the big iron shell on his head has not been taken off yet.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, many women in the country wanted to marry Faceless. At that time, Faceless's terrifying mask was considered a symbol of security for them.

But time always forgets things very quickly.

Nowadays, those generals who look like stars are the most popular, and Bai Wei is jealous just looking at them.

Bai Wei looked at the news at hand again, and felt indescribably irritable again.

The news headlines these days are all about a person named Qi Feng. This person is very approachable and his support rate in the country is already very high.

His secret is to infect others with the extraordinarily friendly smile on his face. In comparison, Faceless, who has never even taken off his helmet, looks like some kind of Frankenstein.

There were even rumors on the Internet that Faceless wearing a helmet was untrustworthy. After all, no one knew what kind of person he was under the helmet.

What if he was a felon?

——Or even more extreme, what should we do if he is from the Ole Empire?

"Faceless General, I think you need to take off your helmet." Bai Wei thought for a long time and made this suggestion to Faceless.

He had already thought about it in his mind.

As a very qualified secretary, Bai Wei found a team of makeup artists to prepare a completely new image design for Wu Mian after he took off his helmet.

With Wu Mian's body shape, I'm afraid that his true appearance should be that of a relatively burly big brother. When the time comes, Bai Wei plans to ask them to deliberately dress Wu Mian in an aura-oriented direction.

It's a bit unrealistic to dress up like those generals who look like celebrities, but at least they can put on a good look. Bai Wei feels that the makeup artist he hired at a huge price will not be a waste.

After Bai Wei finished making this suggestion, he found that Wu Mian was stunned for a moment.

...After about ten seconds, Wu Mian shook his head firmly.

"I won't take off the mask." Wu Mian said calmly.

"Besides, it doesn't matter what I look like to the Highgate Kingdom or the Ole Empire."

"General Wu Mian, you..." Bai Wei suddenly became a little anxious. Just halfway through his words, he saw Wu Mian put down the things in his hands and walked out slowly.

This means that Bai Wei's last chance to speak is gone.

Looking at the door that was closed by Wu Mian, Bai Wei clenched his fists and dug his nails into his palms.

At that moment, he had never had such a strong premonition as he did now.

——Wumian, this boat is going to capsize.

This ship, which helped him get through the most difficult moments of the war, was so dilapidated after the war that it even made Bai Wei feel a little ridiculous.

He didn't even dare to take off that helmet. How ugly is this? Maybe he really has scars all over his face like what was said on the Internet? This idea suddenly came to Bai Wei's mind.

Bai Wei is a man with strong actions. A week after he believed that Wu Mian's ship would capsize, he resigned from his position next to Wu Mian. Another week later, he appeared next to Qi Feng.

.

I stayed there for so many years.

Listening to the messy sounds in the room, Bai Wei leaned against the wall, took out a rare cigarette and took a long drag.

Now it was time for him to make a decision again.

Bai Wei always feels that things in the world are unpredictable, as if God has been joking with him. Back then, he hoped that Wu Mian could seize public opinion like others, so he came to join Qi Feng, who was the best at playing with public opinion.

Now, in just a few years, things have suddenly changed dramatically.

Bai Wei suddenly felt that if Wu Mian was here, then everything happening in Highgate Country would be nothing, right?

If the people sitting in the office at the back were Wu Mian, they wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.

But really speaking, Bai Wei doesn't regret anything he has done.

...Maybe he has no chance to regret it.

After all, humans are always creatures that need to deceive themselves in order to survive.

If you can't even cheat, you will always lose some courage to move on.

Bai Wei took the last drag of his cigarette and waited until the sounds in the room completely stopped before going in to clean.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see broken pieces of ceramics everywhere and documents scattered everywhere.

Bai Wei walked over without being surprised and asked the robot to come in and clean up the broken porcelain, while he packed up the documents on the floor.

Qi Feng was sitting in the darkest corner of the room. Bai Wei tried his best to pretend that he couldn't see him. After all, Qi Feng's mood at this time was the most unpredictable. If he was not careful, he could easily get angry.

Bai Wei packed up the documents and put them aside according to type - even though he didn't think Qifeng would read them, it was still necessary to pretend.
