In the inner city of Shencheng, in the office of the deputy city lord Chen Jinghai, the young and talented secretary B was dejected and reported to Chen Jinghai his work situation with a remorse.

"Mr. Jinghai, this is the whole story... It was because my subordinates were foolish and incompetent, causing such serious property losses, and the problem that could be solved by just a few thousand spirit stones wasted, and the family's 100,000 spirit stones were wasted. My subordinates were willing to bear all the blame for this."

Chen Jinghai sat behind the desk and looked at his secretary B without saying a word, which made the young man feel cold sweat soon, and even began to regret why he confessed to his leader so clearly.

If he didn't say it, who would have thought that there would be a trick to invite idol groups to perform commercially? Who would have known that the funding for the 100,000 spirit stones could have been avoided?

If he didn't say it, he would still be a great hero who was ordered to help the deputy city lord solve the problem, rather than a fool who caused unnecessary losses to the family.

However, as a young talent who graduated from the Shenjia Outer College with excellent grades, Secretary B knew very well that the disadvantage of doing things was just a matter of ability or luck, and concealing the true situation from the leader is a matter of principle. Especially in the face of the secretary work of a direct leader, it is an absolute taboo to conceal something in important situations.

So even if you bit the bullet and all the skin, Secretary B honestly explained the situation.

Chen Jinghai was not angry when he heard this. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Do you think that if Chen Qingming had not made the way out of these 100,000 spirit stones, would Chen Qingming accept the invitation to a commercial performance? With her attitude towards the Shen family at that time, as the champion of the Qingyun Competition, and as the Li family's little princess, would he care about the commercial performance cost of one or two thousand spirit stones?"

Secretary B was stunned when he heard this.

"What's more, the possibility of the other party attending the banquet is completely different after receiving two thousand spirit stones and one hundred thousand spirit stones. We cannot allow a little mistake in this matter. You are not wrong. You cannot tolerate cleverness in important things."

After saying that, Chen Jinghai waved his hand and signaled that Secretary B could go down.

After Secretary B left, Chen Jinghai slightly raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, things are not as simple as they appear, but there is no need for the secretary to know some things.

The check for 100,000 spirit stones was not paid for by public funds, but was paid out of his own pocket, which almost emptied his investment income over the past two years.

However, this is a necessary expense.

The reason why things developed to this point was that he understood the wrong intentions of his superiors and mistakenly thought that the city lord really wanted to keep the Li family out. Therefore, he arranged a series of cold greetings later to constantly smear the Li family's patience. In the end, he really wiped out the other person's patience and realized that he had gone in the opposite direction from the beginning.

This is also the consequence of thinking inertia. Over the past twenty years, the city lord in Chen Jinghai's eyes, as he was, was a member of the Shen family who was as firm as a rock. Even the sect leader of the Holy Sect would be difficult to get back. Twenty years ago, after Li Fengyun kidnapped his beloved daughter Chen Yue'e, which even dragged the father and daughter to sever the relationship, the Li family was written on the blacklist by Chen Ruoshi forever.

In Shen Jinghai's eyes, this is simply an impossible contradiction. Unless the city lord abdicates and changes to the next generation of city lords, the relationship between the two families will be eased. In this era, the time is still not yet ripe, and the Li family is really too hasty. At most, they can do it, gradually reverse the inherent impression among the younger generation of Shen family, and then break the ice after dozens or hundreds of years. Therefore, Chen Jinghai threw them directly into the Shen family's outer courtyard.

Chen Jinghai always thought that his thinking was correct, and it was in line with the needs of the city lord. However... later he realized that as a member of the Shen family, many times, what he said and expressed was completely different from what he thought in his heart.

For example, he himself, after ten years of blind dates, rejected one woman after another with a flawless white jade. He thought he would live alone as the right-hand man of the city lord for his whole life, but in the end he fell into a gentle land that he had never imagined... So, to put himself in others, perhaps the city lord's persistence also hides a different mind behind it?

After thinking through this, Chen Jinghai realized how outrageous he had made his mistake before.

At this time, the only thing Chen Jinghai had to do was to make up for his mistakes at all costs and restore his position in the mind of the city lord.

The right-hand man of the city lord of Shencheng is not so easy to be. If you don’t advance in this position, you will retreat. If you do a hundred things right, you can’t go further. However, if you do something wrong, you may have to roll down from your position. There is absolutely no reason to relax if you have a high position and a high position and a high position. On the contrary, being in the right-hand man position requires you to always focus on the needs of the city lord, and you cannot relax at all times. In many cases, work attitude is more important than ability.

That's why Chen Jinghai had to use the private property of 100,000 spirit stones to show his remedial attitude, and I believe that such an attitude can calm the dissatisfaction of the city lord.

Next, we must make these 100,000 spirit stones worth the money, and don’t waste it. In the 2-day competition in the outer courtyard, I am afraid that I will do some more serious work.

On the one hand, we must ensure that all five places can be put into the hands of the Li family, or at least one place can be made into the hands of Shen Qingming. On the other hand, the face of the outer courtyard cannot be ignored. After all, it carries the future of the Shen family, so it is quite difficult to arrange the specific work.

At the same time, in the Shen family's outer courtyard, more than a hundred Shen family members were ready to try.

The opportunity to avenge the previous shame has finally arrived!

A month ago, the Li family and his group entered the Shen family's outer courtyard with great might, defeating the elite monks of the Shen family one after another with a sweep, and then leaving behind a mess.

Since then, on the one hand, the Shen family has sincerely admired the methods of the Li family, but on the other hand, they can't wait to take revenge. Now that the opportunity is in front of them, they will naturally do their best to fight for it.

On this day, during the short lunch break, the monks of the Shen family gathered under the shade of trees next to the schoolyard to discuss countermeasures in two days.

"How is it? Have you found out the competition system clearly?" a tall and thin boy couldn't wait to ask.

The young man asked shook his head helplessly: "Not yet, I have been pestering the instructor several times. He just said he didn't know and had to wait for the notice."

The tall and thin boy touched his chin: "If Brother Feihu can't even ask, it seems that Scarface really doesn't know. I don't know how the above plan to design the competition system this time and select 5 of the more than 100 people."

A girl said: "It should be like the Shencheng Competition, which is eliminated in groups and gradually advances to the top five. In the past, our outer hospital has competed for rankings several times, and this method was used."

Chen Feihu smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to make such arrangements this time, it's too unfair to the Li family."

The competition system that divides more than 100 people into dozens of groups to fight and eventually advances layer by layer is obviously very unfavorable to a minority like the Li family. The monks from the Shen family's outer courtyard can fully target everyone in the Li family through internal tacit understanding.

The girl said unconvincedly: "How can such a thing be fair? Is it fair to have the weight of five of them and more than a hundred of us?"

Chen Feihu smiled and said, "It's not entirely true. The correct statement should be that it is fair to make the five of them more important than the more than a hundred of us."

What he said made everyone present feel a little confused.

Chen Feihu said, "You should listen to your family's words for now, don't take them too seriously."

Before he finished speaking, he saw more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at him tighter.

Chen Feihu couldn't help but smile bitterly at this, secretly blaming himself for not being able to hold back and insisting on showing off such unnecessary limelight... But the words had already started, and it was not easy for the eunuch to be hasty, so he had to continue talking.

"The invitation to this birthday party was a bit strange from the beginning. It is normal for us younger generations to have no right to participate in this birthday party. But the arrangement of this matter is too hasty, as if it was a temporary intention, which is strange. Currently, the deputy city lord Chen Jinghai is the deputy city lord. Judging from his usual style, whenever the city lord is involved, what is not the arrangement of the orderly and preparations for the rain? How could there be such hasty and sudden arrangements?"

This analysis makes sense. It can be said that the preparations for the 100th birthday party of the city lord started a year ago. At that time, Chen Jinghai had already considered many things very thoughtfully. Now he suddenly said that the number of places to attend the meeting is limited, which is really strange.

"Then, there are 5 people in the banquet, and how many people are there in the Li family's envoys? There are also 5 people! I don't think this kind of tailor-made general quota design is a complete coincidence. In the end, the Li family wanted to participate in the competition in the outer court. Although it makes sense, after all, they have practiced in the outer court, but it is still a bit far-fetched."

After analyzing these three points, the tree fell into a brief silence.

Because if you think about it according to Chen Feihu's idea, the conclusion is really about to come out.

"The superiors wanted to... take this opportunity to deliberately give the quota for the banquet to the Li family?"

"Why?!"

"What is this for??"

Chen Feihu shrugged: "I'm not Chen Jinghai, I can't say why I'm trying to do anything. But if I'm just guessing, I think I might as well think in the better direction: such an obvious way of provoking is to hope that we can show the backbone of the Shen family and avenge our previous shame."

"So that's it. The family has worked hard to hope that we can show the backbone of the Shen family and face the difficulties in the face of a strong enemy..."
