"The essence of trade has never been a specific dock, port or city. That's so well said!"
After reading the last paragraph of today's Zaun Daily front page article word for word, Wei put away the newspaper with great satisfaction.
Lux once told her the story of Janna before, so her feelings about this passage were undoubtedly more profound.
From Wazuan to Zaun, the people living here have been building their own homes with their own hands and through labor. For this, Wei's heart was full of pride.
However, while she is proud, she is also a little bit resentful - although she is relatively close to Lux, Wei still does not know that Zaun has begun port construction, let alone that Zaun has already established a relationship with Bilgewater
Having reached a complementary strategic cooperation, although she is proud, she still feels resentful towards the Piltovers for controlling the Gate of the Sun.
It was obviously built bit by bit by the Zaun people, and Janna even devoted all her divine power to it and almost died.
After putting away the newspaper and stuffing it into her pocket, Wei came to her work station while thinking about taking back the Sun Gate.
The joint cooperation experiment between the two cities has reached a stage that requires a certain amount of cooperation, so compared to the simple security work before, the tasks she is now responsible for have increased a lot.
The transfer of a lot of data, materials, and personnel visits require communication and cooperation between the security departments of both parties - and today, it is time to exchange data and materials again.
Wei personally led the team, and Caitlin from Piltover was no exception. After the two sides took stock of their own personnel and supplies, they started a cooperation and exchange meeting while protecting the exchange personnel.
This is not the first time such a meeting has been held.
At the beginning, Wei would listen curiously, but soon she discovered that although she could understand most of the words spoken by the experts, she was completely confused after they were connected together.
Therefore, after the meeting started, she simply started patrolling around the venue herself - rather than standing stupidly at the door, she preferred to walk around the venue irregularly.
Interestingly, unlike the previous situation, Vi, who was patrolling around today, was surprised to find that Caitlin, the head of security in Piltover, did not continue to listen.
This Picheng guy, who was neatly dressed, even wearing a hat, took the initiative to leave the venue for the first time and started patrolling like Wei.
If it were normal, if Wei saw him, he would at most pretend he hadn't seen him.
But her mood was a little subtle, so after seeing Caitlin, she took the initiative to say hello: "Caitlin, right? You won't pretend today?"
"Pretending? What are you pretending to be?" Caitlin, who was suddenly cueed, blinked and looked at the Zaun security chief in front of her with some confusion, "What are you talking about?"
"I see that you have been observing the meeting before." Wei raised her eyebrows, "I thought you could understand it - but now it seems that you can't understand it either!"
"I could understand it before!" Caitlin frowned, "I learned the basics of Hex technology theory from Mr. Jace!"
"Who knows if you have understood it before." Wei spread her hands and shrugged, "But you have studied with Jace before? Is it the Jace I know?"
"That's right." Caitlin didn't seem to care about Wei's doubts, but nodded proudly, as if she was very proud of this, "He used to be my tutor!"
"Then why did you become a law enforcement officer?" Seeing that the Piltover man looked very serious and didn't seem to care about his ridicule at all, Wei's tone became much calmer, "Being a Hex scientist is not enough.
Okay?"
"There are always things that Hex Technology cannot change." Caitlin puffed up her chest, "Efficiency may not bring justice. I have my own ideals!"
"Ideal, Justice, Caitlin, your jokes are so funny." Wei looked at Caitlin with a serious face and couldn't help but laughed on the spot, "To be honest, you are the funniest Piltover I have ever seen.
people."
"This is not humor!" Caitlin, whose ideals were questioned, countered, "Vi, right - don't use your own thinking to speculate on others. I'm not you. I didn't rely on family connections to get to this point!"
"You said I relied on my family connections?" Wei stopped smiling, "Ha, that's really interesting. Why didn't I know that I still had family connections?"
"Your adoptive father is the commander of the Zaun Security Office. After you joined the Zaun Law Enforcement Officer, you barely received a salary in the first month because of your recklessness, but now you are still the person in charge of security here." Regarding this pair of yourself.
Caitlin, who was ideally dismissive of the Zaun people, struck hard and swiftly, "I have personally confirmed this information, and it is definitely not the fabrication of reporters."
"Then your reporters must have never reported on my application results for law enforcement officers, right?" The questioned Wei raised his face slightly, folded his hands on his chest, and showed a proud expression, "Although I only got excellent in shooting, but in the physical test, observation
I got record-breaking perfect scores in both the test and the combat test - but it was you. I remembered, you are the little princess of the Gila Mann family, right? I wonder if you had any experience before you became the head of security here.
What achievements are outstanding enough?"
Caitlin was speechless.
Although in theory, her resume is quite bright, once you open it, you will see that it is full of security director positions for various large-scale events.
But Caitlin knew very well that these "large-scale events" were hosted by the Gila Mann family. Although they were of great significance, they were the kind that could not go wrong.
In other words, those are all gold-plated resumes.
Compared with Wei's three perfect scores, Caitlin's resume now gives people a feeling that "it all depends on her family".
If someone else were here, they might be able to list that long list without any trouble, as long as they don't mention anything related to their family.
But as a rare and shameless Piltover, Caitlin could only be speechless, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Do you want to say that you have learned shooting, reconnaissance, and interrogation work?
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Wei was in a good mood - looking at Caitlin, whose face was gradually turning red, she finally laughed contentedly.
Caitlin, on the other hand, gritted her teeth and looked at Wei, not wanting to leave or stay.
"To be honest, you didn't do a bad job." After laughing enough, Wei finally stretched happily, "But it's just good. If you really want to prove yourself, then use something convincing.
Here’s what you need - Speaking of which, don’t you guys in Piltover have any exams?”
"There is an exam, but there is no law enforcement officer." Caitlin clenched her fists, "When I become the police chief, I will definitely change this, kick out those fools, and recruit truly reliable people...
"
"This is quite possible. The Gila Mann family is quite famous. I see that many experimental equipment boxes have your family's name printed on them..."
