Bowing to the aloof Shilin, Ning Feng and Rhodes exited the branch chief's office.
Bang.
As the door closed, Rhodes exhaled involuntarily to relax his tense muscles.
legend……
The outgoing former minister is actually a legend!
Although she basically didn't look at him, that feeling of indifference and power had penetrated deeply into his soul.
horrible.
Is this the legend of the Watch Society?
It feels like, even if compared with all the legends I have seen, this one can be ranked at the forefront.
Out of respect for the legend, Rhodes did not observe the other party's appearance carefully, but only had a general impression.
"What's your impression of the minister?"
Contrary to Rhode's mood, Ning Feng's relaxed voice brought him back to his senses and smiled awkwardly:
"I was a little confident at first, but after meeting your Excellency, I am a little unsure."
If all the branch leaders of the Watch Club are at this level, then my own strength may not be enough.
"Well...can I ask why?"
Why me?
As long as you know a little about the background of the Watch Society, you will know that they will definitely have better candidates.
There was no way that the position of branch leader could be filled by an outsider like myself.
But now, the matter of airborne on his own is proceeding without any resistance.
There must be a reason for these weird things.
Ning Feng had already guessed that Rhodes would have such a question, so he was not surprised and answered directly:
"You really don't have to worry about this."
"If I were a watchman, I would tell you this..."
"We have conducted a detailed investigation into your identity and background, life experience, human-machine relationship, personality and habits... After multiple aspects of review, we finally came to a conclusion."
"You are a qualified candidate."
Judging from the specifications of a wild awakener, Rhodes is definitely an outstanding lone traveler.
You have talent, you have strength, you have connections...and most importantly you have some self-persistence.
After such an audit, no major problems were found. Rhodes' character can still be guaranteed to a certain extent, and he is quite qualified as an outsider.
"But if it were Ning Feng personally, I would have another explanation."
After a pause, Ning Feng thought about it and said:
"I helped you a lot in the competition before, so this is a small reward that I can do my best."
After all, you have been asked to do a lot of things as a tool.
I'd rather someone isn't a devilish capitalist. You can't let someone work without getting paid, right?
It's that simple?
Is this level of transfer just a small reward?
Rhodes was silent about Ning Feng's invisible energy.
After a pause, he finally stopped asking questions under Ning Feng's encouraging gaze and instead said:
"I feel that Your Excellency doesn't think much of me..."
Hostile?
Not really, but the feeling of being ignored is very obvious.
The other party didn't take him seriously at all. Just now more than 90% of his eyes were on Ning Feng.
"Don't worry, she actually welcomes your arrival."
Really?
In fact, Rhodes had a lot of previous convictions, and he really couldn't believe Ning Feng's words anymore, so he just responded with an ambiguous and embarrassing smile.
"It's true, after all..."
Suddenly, Ning Feng's expression changed slightly, then he smiled apologetically at Rhodes and said:
"Sorry, I just received a notification suddenly that the branch manager came to see me for other matters."
"Can you first go to the general command room to find Instructor Yan? Just follow the signs. He is the one we met before. He will tell you what happens next."
"Oh, ok, it's okay."
Watching Ning Feng turn around and walk into the laboratory, Rhodes sighed silently after the door was closed again.
"I always feel like something is not quite right..."
Everything went so smoothly.
For Rhodes, this experience was a bit outrageous, and it was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
"Reward? I just did those things, do I deserve such a big reward?"
It's definitely not worth it.
There was some faint fear in his heart, but Rhodes knew that he could not let go of this precious opportunity.
Opportunities are given to those who are prepared. If he misses this time, he will not know when he will get a better opportunity.
"No matter what he wants to get from me, it will have to wait until I successfully become the branch leader."
"Also, although I don't know what Ning Feng did specifically, he must have paid some price."
During the whole process of going to see the branch head just now, the branch head kept staring at Ning Feng with an unsentimental gaze.
Are you angry?
Is all this being operated by the power behind Ning Feng?
And that branch chief is the loser in the power struggle?
…
After entering the room, the expression on Ning Feng's face changed slightly and he stood still at the door.
The smile remains the same, and outsiders cannot see the change. Ning Feng is thinking silently.
The reasons Rhodes mentioned cannot be said to be completely false, but they can at least be considered part of the reasons.
To put it bluntly, those are just a small number of high-sounding reasons that can be accepted by Rhodes.
As for the real reason...
"It's actually true."
Ning Feng lowered his head and clasped his palms to create a space the size of a fist.
He couldn't see or touch it, but Ning Feng had a feeling that he was holding a beating heart...
Rod's heart.
Because of some special experiences, Rhodes' life is in Ning Feng's hands!
This is the real reason why Ning Feng chose Rhodes.
Bincheng is the hometown of Ning Feng and Jiang Wan, and the Bincheng branch is the place where their memories are kept. He cannot allow any more changes to happen here.
To put it bluntly, what Ning Feng now has for Rhodes is not trust. At most, it can only be regarded as having enough confidence because he has control of his life and death.
Is this evil?
Not really, but it does lack some human touch.
【…………】
Noticing the eyes around him, Ning Feng turned his head to look at the reflection in the mirror and saw the angel with a calm face.
Facing the angel's gaze, he said calmly:
"I can be more humane about some things, but I can't be careless in this matter."
"Necessary insurance is a must."
Ning Feng was very clear about what he was doing and had no unnecessary confusion or weakness.
There is no need for hypocritical excuses in this matter.
The Watch Club will definitely have corresponding restrictions, but holding the switch with his own hands can make Ning Feng feel more at ease.
"It's just necessary insurance. If he doesn't do anything wrong, I won't harm him."
In response, the angel calmly asked:
【What if he did it?】
Taking steps forward, Ning Feng walked towards the depths of the room and said calmly:
