A rather large banquet was held in the Winter Garden.
The attendees of this banquet are all wealthy people from Anhua City, that is, families with a wealth of tens of thousands of gold coins, or at least top middle-class families.
And they all brought their best young sons with them.
Without exception.
This is normal.
After all, there were rumors circulating in the city that the host of the banquet was apparently the Dongyuan Fang family, but was actually the new director of the famous Inspection Department.
The most important thing is that it is said that the director will select a group of qualified seal-formers at the banquet and personally promote them as inspectors.
This is nothing less than a road to the sky.
Because once you are selected by the director, you will be hugging this boss’s super thick legs. Do you need to worry about your future in the future?
For this reason alone, who can still sit still?
At this moment.
In the bustling banquet hall.
A large group of neatly dressed young men and women looked at each other without leaving a trace, carefully observing the performance of their competitors.
No one dares to cause trouble.
No matter how arrogant people usually behave, now they behave obediently with their tail between their legs.
After all, this is the director's banquet. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the big shot to stir up trouble here?
No brainless idiot would do this!
In a corner of the banquet hall.
Xing Peng held a cup of Jinfeng sweet tea anxiously, trying his best to appear calm and composed.
I heard that Director Cheng liked Jin Feng sweet tea, so everyone tacitly chose sweet tea. No one touched the glasses of high-end wine placed on the drink table.
It is basic common sense to invest in the favor of the big shot.
Xing Peng secretly glanced at a tall, well-dressed young man not far away, followed his example, and took a small sip of sweet tea.
In the past twelve hours, this twenty-year-old young man has indeed experienced an adventure.
In fact, Xing Peng does not belong to the wealthy class. His family is barely well-off and he can only eat meat every three days.
last night.
The father of a girl who was in his class in middle school, a chubby wealthy businessman named "Fan Ancheng", suddenly came to his door and had a deep talk with him.
Fan Ancheng directly proposed an exchange condition, taking him to an important banquet. If he was selected by a big shot, he must marry the daughter of the Fan family.
Xing Peng didn't hesitate for a long time and agreed immediately.
First of all, this is indeed a rare opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it.
Secondly, Fan Ancheng's daughter "Fan Xiaoqian" is beautiful, has a gentle personality, and her family is so rich, so marrying her back is not a bad thing.
In short, it’s not a loss!
Twelve hours later.
Xing Peng put on a haute couture dress for the first time in his life, and also saw for the first time in his life how luxurious a banquet in the upper class is.
By the way.
The dress comes from the sponsorship of "quasi-father-in-law" Kang.
The other party also made it clear that even if he is not selected, he does not need to return it, and it is regarded as a reward paid in advance.
Xing Peng observed the venue and saw many beautiful ladies dressed up.
Several of them are really beautiful and heart-warming.
But Xing Peng didn't look much, he just glanced past.
On the one hand, he had an agreement with his prospective father-in-law and it was not convenient for him to read more.
On the other hand, if you think with your toes, you will understand that these beautiful ladies are most likely coming for Director Cheng, hoping to climb up to the big shot.
besides.
Xing Peng also smelled similar scents from some competitors.
This interesting discovery made him grin slightly.
It turns out that there are quite a few “son-in-laws” brought in like me!
But if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising.
Of course, if the prospective father-in-law wants to get an idea, other people will also want to get it.

After a while.
Fan Ancheng quickly approached and reminded in a low voice: "Don't drink too much sweet tea. If Director Cheng comes out during the meeting and you are in the bathroom, it will be too rude."
Xing Peng quickly responded: "I understand."
It suddenly dawned on him, no wonder everyone else was drinking in small sips, holding a cup of sweet tea for a long time without finishing it.
Fan Ancheng talked about the gossip again: "Director Cheng is a young genius who is seen once in a century. He is in a high position at a young age. He is a very confident person and naturally prefers confident young people."
Xing Peng was thoughtful.
No wonder the prospective father-in-law went around looking for people to talk to after entering the banquet hall. It turned out that he was just asking for information. Is this the role of connections?
Fan Ancheng deliberately emphasized: "You must remember that self-confidence is by no means arrogant, and you must grasp the right balance, otherwise it will only attract resentment.
"Just like Director Cheng. It is said that this big shot is very strict in his work. He has extremely high demands on the deputy director and whistle commander, but he is very kind to his subordinates. You can experience it carefully."
Xing Peng nodded repeatedly: "I understand!"
Fan Ancheng beeped for a long time and told many anecdotes about Director Cheng.
Xing Peng was speechless after hearing this, and gradually sketched out the image of this big man - powerful, vigorous, skillful, compassionate, but also ruthless.
Fan Ancheng finally said something that is widely recognized: "Director Cheng is definitely the most powerful director of the Inspection Department in Anhua City in the past fifty years."
Xing Peng was convinced: "That's true."
This big shot has only been in office for a few days, but he has received such a high evaluation, which shows how powerful he is!
Fan Ancheng's tone was full of calculation: "If you have the opportunity to be interviewed by Director Cheng later, what are you going to do?"
Xing Peng pondered for a few seconds before replying: "I personally feel that for a person as powerful as Director Cheng, it is impossible to hide his disguise from his eyes. Just show your truest self."
Fan Ancheng was stunned for a moment and was a little impressed: "This is a good method."
The rich man reached out and patted his prospective son-in-law on the shoulder: "You are better than I expected. No wonder Xiaoqian is so impressed by you."
Xing Peng hurriedly humbled himself and said, "You've given me the award."
It didn't take long.
The "buzzing" sound in the banquet hall suddenly disappeared completely.
Xing Peng instantly realized that a big shot was here.
He followed everyone's gaze and immediately saw a young man wearing a high-end inspection uniform, walking down the stairs.
This moment.
A word popped into Xing Peng's mind - young.
too young!
He stared at the young man, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.
At such a young age, he has become a powerful figure in Anhua City. How can he not make people sigh with emotion?
"Everyone, welcome to the Winter Garden!"
The young man's gentle voice reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
Even though he was facing hundreds of people, he was not nervous at all, and his demeanor and tone were extremely natural.
This scene made Xing Peng admire him deeply.
Director Cheng is a few years younger than me, but he behaves with such ease.
The crowd bowed and saluted, saying things like "Well done, Director" and "I've met Mr. Director".
Xing Peng quickly followed the instructions, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Director Cheng's voice continued: "I believe everyone already knows the purpose of this winter garden banquet, so I won't go into details.
"I will set up a small test for all the talents. As long as you pass the test, you can join the Inspection Bureau."
Xing Peng was slightly surprised.
test?
Could it be a live competition?
He took a peek at the others and found that everyone had surprised expressions on their faces.
Xing Peng soon knew that he had guessed wrong.
The owner of Winter Garden, Fang Qinghuai, suddenly interjected:
"Talents who are interested in joining the Inspection Bureau, please come and get a number plate first. Then, according to the order of numbers on the number plate, each group of ten people will enter the lounge next door and prepare to be assessed by Director Cheng."
With these words, two beautiful maids entered the hall carrying a lot of number plates.
Many impatient young people rushed over impatiently.
Xing Peng felt a slight push on his shoulder, and the words of his future father-in-law Fan Ancheng came to his ears: "Quickly go and line up."
He responded and immediately joined the queue.
While waiting.
Xing Peng also saw some wealthy people queuing up to visit Director Cheng, and many of them brought their beautiful daughters with them. The purpose was quite obvious.
While he was amused, he was also envious of it.
If a big shot like Director Cheng is willing, I'm afraid there's nothing wrong with being the groom every night, right?
One minute later.
Xing Peng successfully received a wooden number plate with a number written on it - No. 26.
There are a total of sixty-three people participating in this assessment, which is slightly more than expected.
at this time.
Director Cheng's clear voice once again spread across the venue: "Everyone, before we start the test, let's talk about other topics."
Xing Peng was startled for a moment, and his eyes locked on the big shot at the front.
Director Cheng's tone was full of confidence: "The situation in Anhua City has been turbulent recently, and many people should have doubts about the future.
"I tell you clearly that those rats hiding in the gutters will never be able to make waves. Sooner or later, the inspection office will be able to wipe them out."
No one had the guts to interrupt the Director, and everyone listened quietly.
Director Cheng suddenly showed a strange smile: "Let me treat everyone to a good show."
Xing Peng immediately saw that Director Cheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
"Snapped!"
A soft sound.
next moment.
A sudden change occurred.
Not far from Director Cheng, a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman suddenly shouted: "In the name of our ancestors, you bastard named Cheng, go to hell!"
The man took out something from his arms and waved it hard at Director Cheng.
Xing Peng was surprised at first.
Something big happened!
Dongyuan actually infiltrated into the Sartre Avengers and wanted to assassinate Director Cheng?
After a moment.
Xing Peng burst out laughing.
He clearly saw that what the assassin took out was a candy man made by a street vendor.
It's so funny to take out this thing while shouting "revenge" over and over again.
Under the gaze of hundreds of people.
The middle-aged man stared blankly at the candy man in his hand, and he immediately became dumbfounded: "How did my 'Dream Stick' turn into this thing?"
The roar of laughter suddenly broke out.
"Ha ha!"
“So interesting!”
"Is this Avenger a fool?"
Anyone can guess that the Avengers must have been discovered by Director Cheng, who secretly used a secret method to replace the opponent's weapon with a candy man.
This kind of invisible method also surprised the guests.
the other side.
The middle-aged man realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ran to the hall and tried to escape.
"snort!"
A soft drink sounded.
Xing Peng saw a green light flash from Director Cheng's hand and hit the middle-aged man instantly.
More than a dozen vines grew out of thin air and instantly tied the middle-aged man into a rice dumpling, making him unable to move.
"boom!"
The middle-aged man lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
Two black-armored soldiers strode over and took the middle-aged man out, one from the left and the other from the right.
Director Cheng's smiling voice sounded again: "Please believe that our Inspection Department is fully capable of protecting the safety of Anhua City."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded.
Because this scene before me is the most powerful confirmation of Director Cheng’s words.
Xing Peng couldn't help but sigh: "Director Cheng's methods are too powerful."
If the Avengers appeared on other occasions, it would probably cause a huge riot.
Director Ke Cheng sat here and not only easily solved the Avengers, he also turned the incident into a performance, perfectly demonstrating the capabilities of the Inspection Bureau.
Fan Ancheng nodded heavily: "It's indeed amazing!"
The wealthy businessman looked at his prospective son-in-law again: "The inspection bureau chaired by Director Cheng will definitely achieve great things. If you can become an inspector, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
