In that luxurious office that originally belonged to Li Tianlan, but which Li Tianlan had rarely been to, Ma Si, who had come from afar, met Qin Weibai in a red dress.
Qin Weibai's mental state was very stable. When Ma Si came in, she and Han Xinyan were dealing with the documents piled up in the office.
These documents were originally the work of Li Tianlan in theory, but were actually the work of Han Xinyan.
But now it has become what Qin Weibai has to do.
The documents that once made Li Tianlan feel numb and uncomfortable were handled quickly in Qin Weibai's hands. Han Xinyan summarized the report, compared the documents, signed or re-examined, the whole process was understated and calm.
The atmosphere in the office is not dull, but it is a bit weird.
Han Xinyan's face was gloomy, she didn't dare to look directly into Qin Weibai's eyes, she spoke cautiously, she could be brief and never said a word more, and she looked like she was suffering.
She had indeed made up her mind to leave the East Palace with Li Tianlan.
But the problem is that her position was too important before.
The palace lord's personal secretary.
This is a core position that holds many secrets.
As for Han Xinyan, a palace master like Li Tianlan, I don't know whether to say that she has gained a treasure or is just unlucky. She has not mastered too many secrets in the East Palace, but has mastered almost all the secrets of the East Palace.
Li Tianlan is really in trouble, he really doesn't care about anything.
The principle of "three noes" can be said to be most vividly embodied in him.
It doesn’t matter this, it doesn’t matter that, it doesn’t matter anything.
As a result, it is easy to imagine how busy Li Tianlan's personal secretary will be.
She holds the position of personal secretary and does almost the work of a palace lord.
Although Li Tianlan doesn't care about anything, the operations of the Eastern Palace have never stopped in all aspects, including internal city planning and even the future development of Tiannan Province. Central Continent has provided a lot of technical support and resource support, as well as cooperation with various forces.
Jun Bei's transactions, various investments and countless reports from the business empire, intelligence exchanges with various forces in the dark world...
Li Tianlan doesn't care about these things, but it definitely doesn't mean that these things don't exist.
These matters were also the main contents of Han Xinyan's previous work.
There are some things that she can decide by herself, and things that she can't decide by herself and Li Tianlan is too lazy to take care of, she and the senior officials of the East Palace decide together.
So she now has a lot of work in her hands. Li Tianlan can leave at will, but Han Xinyan cannot.
She had to stay and make a detailed handover with Qin Weibai. It would take at least half a month to hand over so many things.
Half a month...
In fact, Han Xinyan didn't want to stay here for a second longer.
It's not that she hates Donghuang Palace, it's just because she feels guilty, or she doesn't know what attitude to use to face Qin Weibai.
She is Li Tianlan's personal secretary, and following Li Tianlan seems to be the right thing to do from any point of view, which also proves her loyalty.
But Han Xinyan's motives were different.
This thing can't be seen on the surface, but Han Xinyan knows very well in her heart that her choice to go with Li Tianlan has nothing to do with loyalty. She just wants to occupy a position next to Li Tianlan and be her woman.
Han Xinyan herself didn't even know what her mentality was like.
Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai broke up.
This matter has become a fact.
But after accepting this fact, Han Xinyan's various emotions were a bit unsatisfactory.
happy?
A little bit, but not too happy either.
sad?
A little bit, but not too sad.
Worry, regret, joy, and even desire are all there, but they are very light.
Her various emotions seemed to be suppressed, making her feel a little depressed.
She really didn't dare to face Qin Weibai at this time.
She was already eaten to death by Qin Weibai, but now she was dealing with Qin Weibai under huge psychological pressure, and her whole body felt even more uncomfortable.
Ma Si's arrival made Han Xinyan subconsciously relieved, but before she could find an excuse to leave, Qin Weibai had already said: "You also stay, let's listen together."
The corner of Han Xinyan's mouth moved, she made a soft sound, and sat down on the sofa dejectedly.
Ma Si glanced at Qin Weibai and hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to call him.
"Tian Lan has left the East Palace."
Qin Weibai said: "I will take over the East Palace now."
Ma Si nodded and confirmed his title: "Palace Master."
The East Palace was originally the prototype of a dynasty created by Qin Weibai and Li Tianlan. Although Li Tianlan didn't stay here long and didn't do much, as his personal strength continued to increase, his existence was the biggest deterrent to the dark world.
.
How strong can this deterrent be?
To put it simply, if Li Tianlan did not choose to go to Youzhou after leaving the East Palace, but instead ventured into the dark world without any stance, just with the name Li Tianlan, in half a month or even a week at most, there might be someone in the dark world.
A new superpower emerged, a superpower that completely revolved around Li Tianlan.
A week's time.
Such a superpower may not be as dynasty-like as the current Donghuang Palace, but it will definitely be more powerful than the current Donghuang Palace.
This is Li Tianlan's current influence and deterrence.
After he truly stands at the top, he does not need to do anything at all, nor does he need to participate in any management. As long as he is here, even if he sleeps every day, many hostile forces will not dare to do anything.
The importance of his existence to the development of the Eastern Palace is self-evident.
Even though the main body of the East Palace is now the former Reincarnation Palace, no one can deny the importance of Li Tianlan.
So Li Tianlan is the palace lord.
But now that Li Tianlan has left the East Palace and Tiannan, Qin Weibai has become the perfect choice for the palace master.
The spiritual power of the transcendent realm and the impression Qin Weibai himself left on the dark world...
This kind of East Palace may not be as powerful as it was during Li Tianlan's time, but the overall operation method will inevitably become more delicate.
This can be said to be a good thing, but it can also be said to be a bad thing.
The future change in the Eastern Palace's style means an adjustment in their overall course of action.
The fact is very obvious.
After losing Li Tianlan, Donghuang Palace's future actions in the dark world will no longer be as unscrupulous or even unscrupulous as before.
The new palace master will think more, and the senior management and even the middle management will also consider more when taking actions.
When Li Tianlan was here, the East Palace could do things without restraint.
Without Li Tianlan, Donghuang Palace needs to reconsider its position in the dark world.
This will inevitably affect the future good situation of the East Palace.
Qin Weibai may be able to control the situation, but without extreme force, the East Palace must lose something, and it will definitely slow down the pace of the East Palace becoming a dynasty.
This is something the Parliament does not want to see.
The parliament does not want a dynasty completely controlled by Li Tianlan to appear in the dark world.
But the Parliament really hopes for the emergence of a dynasty that can be controlled by Central Continent as a whole.
The arrival of Ma Si can be viewed from two aspects.
On the one hand, it means that the Parliament finally seized the opportunity to formally interfere with the development of the Eastern Palace, which is naturally unpopular.
But from another perspective, Ma Si joining the East Palace also represents the will of Zhongzhou. As the leader of the five or six powerful men, once the majesty of the overlord is implemented in the East Palace, it can be turned into a variety of countless resources.
, allowing the Eastern Palace to regain enough confidence to build a new dynasty.
So whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, no one is sure now.
The specific outcome depends on the game between Qin Weibai and the parliament.
And Ma Si is just a prop in the game between the two parties.
"Tell me your purpose."
Qin Weibai raised his head and looked at Ma Si.
Her eyes were still a little red and swollen, but her voice was extremely stable: "If the council wants to investigate the cause of Li Kuangtu's death, then we have nothing to talk about. Tian Lan has left the East Palace, and this matter has nothing to do with the East Palace.
.”
She raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "He just left not long ago. If you want to talk about this matter, I can arrange a flight for you. If you move fast enough, you may be able to catch up with him."
"This is not my mission."
Ma Si shook his head: "My mission is to talk to the palace master."
"What to talk about?"
Qin Weibai said lightly: "I'm not familiar with you."
Ma Si was stunned subconsciously.
He always felt that Qin Weibai today was a bit strange, but also inexplicably familiar.
For a moment, he didn't know where this weird feeling came from.
He instinctively shook his head slightly, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Palace Master, I came today with the order of the council. You can take a look at this first."
He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Weibai with both hands.
Qin Weibai glanced at Han Xinyan.
Han Xinyan stood up, took the envelope and handed it to Qin Weibai.
In modern society, letters are actually a rare thing. There are very few things that cannot be solved by a phone call or a video.
Under such circumstances, Ma Si still produced a letter, which is enough to show that the parliament attached great importance to its contents.
The stamp on the envelope also illustrates this point.
That is not the seal of the parliament, but it is the seal of Li Huacheng's office.
Qin Weibai's eyes lingered on the seal for a moment, and he opened the envelope casually.
The letter was written by Li Huacheng himself, and the content was neither long nor short.
Rather than saying that this is an appointment letter from the parliament, it is better to say that this is a letter of recommendation from Li Huacheng.
Because Tiannan now has nothing to do with Zhongzhou, Ma Si's transfer cannot go through the Ministry of Personnel.
Therefore, Li Huacheng's wording in the letter was very gentle, and he used words such as recommendation, suggestion, maybe, and hope in some key words.
The wording of the main letter is not sharp, but it expresses his meaning extremely clearly.
Qin Weibai silently read the letter and was silent for a long time.
Ma Si stood opposite him.
His expression was calm, but he was a little panicked in his heart.
Today, Qin Weibai's attitude can even determine his future future.
He was Li Huacheng's secretary, and he was supposed to have a promising future. He had been with Li Huacheng for many years, and his status was completely different from that of the secretaries of other directors.
It is no exaggeration to say that under normal circumstances, if he had left Li Huacheng and not come to a special place like the East Palace, his future would definitely be more than just a feudal official.
Whether he can become a director or not is not said, but as long as Li Huacheng supports him, he can at least become a member of the parliament in the future.
But now he came to Tiannan and faced Qin Weibai.
The position of first deputy palace master of the East Palace is so fragrant.
But if Qin Weibai denies it, Ma Si's future will be over.
The key to Qin Weibai's denial is denial.
It doesn't really matter who Qin Weibai is.
From now on, the status of the Eastern Imperial Palace in Central Continent is not important.
The important thing is that he was denied.
This is enough to become the most fatal stumbling block on his way up. His future opponents will mention this from time to time. The impact this has on Marth is completely immeasurable.
"I read the letter."
Qin Weibai dropped the letter on the desk in front of him, his movements and tone were light and airy, without the slightest hint of fireworks.
Ma Si smiled reluctantly, feeling increasingly nervous.
Qin Weibai's next few words are enough to determine whether his future life will be smooth sailing or have a gloomy future.
But what he is facing now is Qin Weibai, and this is the only place that makes him feel at ease.
Qin Weibai and Li Tianlan are different after all.
If he faced Li Tianlan now, he would really not feel at ease at all, because Li Tianlan would not think too much about anything at all. His absolute strength can support his willfulness. If he likes it, he will accept it, and if he doesn't like it, he will reject it.
How dare people do to him.
But Qin Weibai is different. She will think more and more comprehensively. The moment the two options of rejecting and accepting pop up in her mind, she may have already thought of a series of consequences.
So based on the current situation, facing Qin Weibai...
Ma Si didn’t think Qin Weibai would reject the council.
But he was still a little nervous because he didn't know if something unexpected would happen.
"The Speaker recommends you to be the first deputy palace owner of the Eastern Palace and the governor of Tiannan Province."
Qin Weibai looked at Ma Si and said quietly.
Han Xinyan turned her head suddenly and looked at Ma Si, her face a little stunned, with a hint of anger.
Although she decided to leave the East Palace, her feelings for this place were not something she could just let go of.
What does Parliament mean?
Blatantly intervening in the development of the Eastern Palace?
Li Tianlan has left the East Palace, what reason does the council have for doing this?!
How dare they?
Who gave them the courage?
"yes."
Ma Si nodded and responded simply.
He didn't dare to say too much, he was afraid that Qin Weibai would hear the tremor in his voice.
"Do you think you're worthy?"
Qin Weibai moved her body, dragging her cheek with one hand, her tone was casual and lazy.
"This is the best option."
Ma Si did not avoid Qin Weibai's gaze and said in a deep voice: "Under the current situation, it is the best solution for me to come to the East Palace."
"Ah..."
Qin Weibai smiled, but the meaning was unclear: "Give me a reason, if you can't convince me, go back to where you came from."
