About an hour later, Secretary Yan came in from outside.
"Chief, there is a meeting to be held in twenty minutes."
"Well, I know, you go ahead and prepare."
Number One nodded.
"yes."
Secretary Yan nodded, turned around and left.
"Chief, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Xiao Chen was ready to leave.
"Well, there's nothing else to do. I'm also going to have a meeting... All day long, there are all kinds of things and endless meetings."
Number One nodded.
"Haha, as the head of a country, he has to be like this... If it were me, I would really be a bit intolerable."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"If I asked you to sit in my seat and deal with things and various meetings every day, wouldn't you come?"
Suddenly, No. 1 looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Not coming."
Xiao Chen shook his head without even thinking about it.
"I have a lazy temperament and can't stand restraint... I like freedom."
"free……"
Number 1 repeated these two words and narrowed his eyes.
"Then you know that if you want absolute freedom, you must have absolute power?"
"Haha, I don't have that big ambition, as long as no one provokes me, that's fine."
Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"Chief, I'm leaving first, please take care of yourself."
"Okay, let's go."
Number One nodded.
"I'll arrange a car to take you there."
"No, I'll call Lao Guan later and ask where he is. I have something to do with him."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said.
"Okay, then I won't care about you. I'll go home for dinner sometime."
Number One nodded.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart moved and he agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for the chief's arrangements at any time."
"You kid... go ahead."
No. 1 tapped Xiao Chen with his finger and smiled.
"Well, goodbye, chief."
Xiao Chen also smiled and left the office.
"Chief, let's go too."
Soon, Secretary Yan came in from outside and said to No. 1.
"good."
No. 1 nodded, stood up, and walked out.
When he reached the door, he thought of something and stopped in his tracks.
"Xiao Yan, let me ask you a question."
"Chief, you ask."
Secretary Yan said quickly.
"You should know my daily schedule. If...it were you who took my place and was busy all day long, would you be willing?"
Number 1 looked at Secretary Yan and asked.
After hearing what No. 1 said, Secretary Yan's face changed wildly. He didn't mean to ask this, right?
"Just say it."
No. 1 knew Secretary Yan's concerns and said calmly.
"Well, I do."
Secretary Yan hesitated, nodded, and then added.
"I think no one would be unwilling."
"Are you willing? Haha, that guy just said that he was unwilling..."
Number 1 smiled and strode outside.
"ah?"
Secretary Yan is a little confused. Is there anyone really unwilling?
"Hey, Lao Guan."
After leaving Office No. 1, Xiao Chen casually strolled around Zhongnanhai.
Except for a few places, this place is not as strict as outsiders imagine.
Generally speaking, if it is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, as long as it can come in, there is basically no problem.
"Boy, have you finished meeting No. 1?"
The sound of turning off the mountain came from the receiver.
"Well, I just came out of his office... Lao Guan, where are you?"
"I happen to be in Zhongnanhai too. I'll ask someone to pick you up. Please tell me where you are."
"Um."
Xiao Chen looked around and said a location.
After hanging up the phone, he didn't wander around anymore, but lit a cigarette and started smoking.
After only two or three minutes, a middle-aged man came over.
"Mr. Xiao."
"Haha, it's you."
Xiao Chen looked at the visitor and smiled. This was Guan Duan Shan's confidant. He had seen him twice before.
"Well, Mr. Xiao, the chief is waiting for you, please come with me."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"good."
Xiao Chen followed the middle-aged man and walked inside.
"You can do it, kid. You took the No. 1 car to Zhongnanhai..."
As soon as they met, Guan Duanshan said with a smile.
"I didn't know it was the No. 1 car. Don't tell me, it just feels different. As soon as I sat in it, I felt the aura of a king."
Xiao Chen smiled, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, simmered it, and took a sip.
He was more relaxed in front of Guanduan Mountain than in front of No. 1.
"The air of a king? You shouldn't say this to me, you should say it to No. 1."
Guan Duan Shan looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"What I said to No. 1 seemed too deliberate. I told you, I guess these words will reach No. 1's ears."
Xiao Chen put down the tea cup.
"How was your conversation with No. 1?"
Guan Duanshan chuckled and asked.
"Did he agree to the Longshan matter?"
"Well, I agreed very happily. I even felt guilty and wondered if there might be some conspiracy in this."
Xiao Chen nodded and said.
"I think you are a complete conspiracy theorist... How can there be so many conspiracies? It's true."
Guan Duan Shan gave Xiao Chen a white look.
"As for the affairs in Bang Country, you have made great contributions and saved us a lot of trouble. That's why No. 1 agreed happily."
"Hmm, I'm thinking about it...it seems like this summit is very important, right?"
Xiao Chen nodded and asked casually.
"good."
Guan Duan Shan didn’t say much.
"Apart from Longshan? What else are we talking about? It's confidential, so you don't need to tell me."
"Hmm... Number 1 asked me if he gave up his seat to me. Is this considered confidential?"
Xiao Chen looked at Guanduanshan and asked seriously.
"What the hell?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Guanduanshan was stunned.
"Give me my seat?"
"Yes, he said that being the number one was too tiring and asked me if I could do it..."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"..."
Guanduanshan was speechless and looked strange.
"Then what did you say?"
"I said no, I'm not interested."
Xiao Chen was a little proud.
"How do you like it? Are you domineering? In ancient times, it was the throne. I don't want it if I don't want it."
"Don't talk like I can really give it to you!"
Guan Duanshan curled his lips and said angrily.
"Ahem, why don't you let me pretend to be awesome?"
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.
"I'm not going to talk nonsense to you. Is that little girl a dual-power person?"
Guan Duanshan brought up the business and asked.
"You guys are so boring...you know everything."
Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, she is a dual-type superpower, wind type and water type."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Guan Guanshan's eyes lit up: "Wind element and water element? Very good!"
"Lao Guan, I promised her parents that you will do your best to train her...and her parents don't want her to lose her freedom for the rest of her life!"
Xiao Chen looked at Guanduan Mountain and said seriously.
"What's the meaning?"
Guan Duan Shan was startled.
"If you can let her awaken her powers, when she grows up, she will need to be relatively free instead of working hard for the country... She is not a soldier!"
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"If you don't agree, then her parents won't let her join your supernatural organization."
"Relative freedom?"
Guanduanshan pondered.
"Boy, do you know how much financial, material, and energy it takes to awaken a dual-system ability..."
"But you also have to know how precious a dual-power user is... Your training for her is not enough for her to spend her whole life."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Impossible. If we cultivate her but she is not used by us, what's the point? It's like a priceless treasure that doesn't belong to us. It's just like a stone, meaningless, isn't it?"
Guan Duan Shan shook his head.
"Okay, then let me take a step back. Before she reaches adulthood, even if she awakens her powers, you can't force her to do anything... After she reaches adulthood, whether she will stay in your organization depends on her personal choice.
"
Xiao Chen said while smoking a cigarette.
"Isn't it your kid negotiating with me here? Do her parents really have so many demands?"
Guan Duanshan looked at Xiao Chen and said with some suspicion.
"Ahem, how is that possible? These are all reasonable requests..."
Xiao Chen coughed dryly. Don't tell me, he negotiated on his own initiative.
"Let's take a look at her supernatural talent first. If she has a very high talent, I can consider it."
Guan Duanshan thought for a while and said.
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded. He knew that if he said anything more, it would be a bit too much.
"When will you take me to meet you?"
Guan Duanshan asked.
"You make arrangements, but you have to do it as soon as possible. I may not be able to stay in the capital for a few days."
Xiao Chen put out his cigarette.
"Tomorrow morning."
Guan Duanshan thought for a while and made a decision.
"Okay, then let me tell them...shall we go directly to your base?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"Okay, her parents will go too?"
Guan Duan Shan nodded.
"Of course, I want to give you my daughter, so I have to go and see... what if you are some kind of pyramid scheme organization."
Xiao Chen curled his lips and said.
"..."
Guan Duanshan is speechless, this guy... talks a lot of nonsense.
In the evening, Xiao Chen left Zhongnanhai.
Guanduanshan arranged a car and sent him to the 49th Club.
On the way, he called Hua Yixuan.
"Yixuan, what are you doing?"
"Shopping with friends, are you done?"
"Well, I'm done with my work now. I'm going to have dinner with Lao Chu and the others tonight, will you come?"
"I'm not going. I guess my grandfather and my mother have almost finished their research. I'll spend some time with them tonight."
"OK."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Not coming back tonight?"
Hua Yixuan asked.
"We'll see when the time comes, I can't be sure now."
"Okay, if you don't come back, give me a call."
"Um."
After the two chatted for a few more words, Xiao Chen hung up the phone.
When he arrived at the Sijiu Club, the people at the door stopped him.
"Sir, please show your membership card."
The person at the door said politely.
"Um, it seems not."
Xiao Chen was a little embarrassed, Kuangren Chu didn't give him any membership card.
"No? Then sir, you can't go in..."
The person at the door said with a smile.
"Let me make a call."
Xiao Chen took out his cell phone and was about to call Kuangren Chu.
Before he could make the call, he heard a mocking voice coming from the side: "It looks like he's from out of town... Can anyone enter this 49 Club? You thought you could just call and find someone?"
