Chapter 260: Little Ghost: I have made a meritorious deed again!
If only Chu Chen could become the "Counselor of the County Capital" with an eighth-grade Taoist cultivation level.
Even if he has made a lot of achievements and shown potential that is worth cultivating, gossip will definitely be inevitable.
At the very least, several first-class deputy leaders with seventh-level Taoist cultivation must be secretly complaining.
However, with Wang Ping's presence, the firepower was immediately attracted to him.
Not long after he joined the County Ghosts and Gods Department at a young age, he was also promoted to the rank of Counselor of the County Capital Management Bureau due to his eighth-level Taoist cultivation, assisting the Capital Management Bureau and cultivating him vigorously.
The reputations of Chu Chen and Wang Ping are very different.
Many colleagues are not aware of Chu Chen's background and think that he has no background and has won the appreciation and favor of his superiors with his outstanding resume and true ability.
And what about Wang Ping?
Wang Ping came from a famous family and joined Wanlei Sect, a major Xuanmen sect in Qingzhou. He was more famous than Chu Chen in the County Ghosts and Gods Department. Many people knew Wang Ping's origins and knew that he had a good background.
This time, Wang Ping's resume and achievements also appear to be ordinary.
The biggest highlight was the capture of two seventh-grade demons.
Likewise, this highlight is also the point where all the first-class deputy squad leaders are most dissatisfied.
It was obvious that Wang Ping had the support of his family and sect behind him, which enabled him to arrest demons one after another in a short period of time.
To some extent, this is an unfair competition.
How can a group of first-class deputy squad leaders be convinced?
"Why was Wang Ping chosen because of his good background?"
"I have a Sheriff Dad, do you have one?"
"Not just the Sheriff Dad, the Wang family is a thousand-year-old family, a famous family, and has the support of high-achievers from the Wanlei Sect, how can we compare?"
"I am convinced that Deputy Team Leader Chu was elected as the Counselor of the Capital. He meets the selection requirements in all aspects. I am a high-ranking scholar in the Immortal Court, and I am eager to promote talented people, but what is Wang Ping?"
"What you're talking about is that those two seventh-grade monsters were obviously captured by the Wang family and the Wanlei Sect. He, Wang Ping, had the nerve to take the credit for himself. Does this count as credit?"
"Bah! It's too dark! With a good background, you can do whatever you want?"
"Yes, if you are born well, you can do whatever you want. What can you do to others!"
...
As Dean Jiuqiu Shanren read out the appointment documents of the Immortal Courtyard, the entire Huanghaoyuan was in an uproar.
Whether it was the Class A deputy leader or other immortal inspectors, everyone was talking about it.
Chu Chen and Wang Ping suddenly stood at the forefront and attracted much attention.
The only difference is that Chu Chen received mostly praise.
Of course, there are many people among them who deliberately "pulled Chu Chen to step on Wang Ping".
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, Xiucai, and Lin Miaoyin from Class A of Huanghaoyuan took a break from their busy schedule to get together.
The scholar's face was full of envy: "We entered the county's Ghost and God Department together. You two have been promoted all the way, and I am still on duty every day. It's really irritating to compare people with each other."
"That's right, Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Wang, Xiucai and I wanted to catch up with you two and hunt down the demons with you, but I'm afraid we won't be able to do that."
Lin Miaoyin congratulated the two of them, but felt a little disappointed.
Chu Chen smiled: "Even if we become counselors in charge of the capital, we will still take on the job of hunting down demons, and there will be many opportunities to work together."
"Really? That's good."
Lin Miaoyin was quite surprised when she heard this.
Soon, everyone unconsciously mentioned the raging public opinion outside.
The scholar and Lin Miaoyin were quite indignant and comforted the two of them.
"Brother Chu, Brother Wang, you don't have to worry about the public opinion outside. They are just jealous. The counselor is supposed to train young immortal officials, not to serve as a springboard for them. Why do you have to be a seventh-level Taoist?"
Chu Chen smiled: "It doesn't matter, I'm fine."
"Brother Chu, of course you're fine. Their target is me."
Wang Ping laughed at himself at first, and then became quite unhappy: "In order to hunt down the demon, everyone used their personal connections and spent all their money. Logically speaking, everyone is competing unfairly, but each one of them actually accused me of fraud. It's really
This is unreasonable."
Chu Chen comforted him and said, "Brother Wang, it's normal. Their discussion can't change the outcome. You and I should go back and prepare well. We have to go to the Metropolitan Administration Office tomorrow to run errands."
Wang Ping nodded: "I know."
Chu Chen and Wang Ping did not plan to stay at the forefront of the Gui Shen Division, and planned to pay a visit to their old boss Lin Wuqing before leaving.
The two of them quickly came to the squad leader's study room and met with the squad leader.
Lin Wuqing had a complicated look on his face when he saw the two of them.
In fact, he had expected this scene a long time ago.
The two demon bounty cases were handed over to him. He knew it very well and had already guessed that Xianting would probably promote the two of them.
However, when the appointment document from Xianting came down, Lin Wuqing was still a little shocked and surprised.
"You two are very good. You have gone to the Imperial College and are in charge of the counselors. You must do the things assigned by the Imperial Guards. Don't lose the face of our Class A class in the yellow courtyard."
"Yes! Please rest assured."
"Stop shouting, we are all colleagues..."
Compared with before, squad leader Lin Wuqing's attitude toward Chu Chen and Wang Ping had undergone some subtle changes.
There is a faint feeling of treating each other as equals.
Chu Chen and Wang Ping felt these subtle changes keenly.
After leaving the class study room, Wang Ping smiled and said:
"Brother Chu, it feels good to be promoted. Look at Lao Lin's attitude towards us."
Chu Chen smiled:
"Indeed, we have already half-stepped into the high-level circle of the County Ghosts and Gods Department. By then we will be able to experience a different kind of scenery."
The two were transferred to the position of counselor of the county capital. Their rank did not improve at all. They were still in the eighth rank, but their status quietly changed.
The counselor is in charge of the capital and handles errands for the capital, and the affairs involving ghosts and gods that he comes into contact with will also change.
It is no longer a small fight, but gradually begins to involve higher-level affairs of demons and gods.
This is a valuable learning opportunity.
In the future, if I have the opportunity to take charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods, this experience will be very important.
"That's right, Brother Chu. Not to mention, I am determined to be the counselor in charge of this county, and I want to be a good one. I have the intuition to break through to the seventh level of Taoism. Once I break through, I will strive for the position of foreign minister.
I am appointed as the governor of a county, taking charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods, and shutting up those who point fingers at me."
Wang Ping was determined and full of enterprising spirit.
"Senior Brother Wang, you said it well. If you reward me with incense, I will give you my blessings and ensure that you go smoothly and have a bright and prosperous official career."
A clever kid appeared, bowed to Wang Ping and raised his hands, congratulating him repeatedly and showing off his amazing magical powers.
Wang Ping, who had been injected with chicken blood, heard that the little devil wanted to bless him. His expression changed, he took out a handful of incense and forced it to the little devil:
"Little devil, thank you very much. Your blessing is very good. Don't wish me any more next time. Be good!"
Little devil: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o"
...
There was no errand today, so Chu Chen returned to Yunshui Residence.
In the evening, Master Xu Ping, Taoist Master Xu Shi, heard the good news and left the office early.
"Sir, my senior brother has become the counselor of the county capital! I have made meritorious service again. I cursed my senior brother and consumed all his energy of calamity. Then he has good luck and was successfully elected as the counselor of the county capital."
"Master, it turns out what you said is true. My magical powers are really powerful!"
"It's ridiculous that Senior Brother Wang Ping doesn't know the goods. He's so short-sighted that he doesn't recognize Lingyun Wood!"
The little kid was so excited that he put his hands on his hips and kept asking for credit.
"Senior brother, do you think so? Have I made great achievements again?"
