After the video communication was hung up, Qin Weibai sat alone behind his desk and did not speak for a long time.
For a moment, it was difficult for her to describe exactly what she had just experienced.
Before contacting Li Huacheng, Qin Weibai regarded the call as a negotiation, or even a battle for position.
But from the beginning to the end, there was no tense atmosphere between her and Li Huacheng.
Can this be called negotiation?
Well, barely, and judging from the results, things went pretty smoothly.
What Li Huacheng said did have a great impact on Qin Weibai.
As for the sentence about meeting someone after losing a pack of cigarettes, Qin Weibai didn't even understand what it meant.
But if there are no accidents, and excluding the fact that Li Huacheng also traveled through time and space, it is obvious that the person Li Huacheng met that night told Li Huacheng part of the truth.
No, what the other party told Li Huacheng was even more than what he knew, at least from a certain aspect.
So, who is this person?
The first thing Qin Weibai thought of was Jiang Shangyu.
Although this is unlikely, it currently appears that Jiang Shangyu is the only candidate.
But that night, Jiang Shangyu was participating in the siege of Li Tianlan.
Judging from the strength he showed that night, the other Jiang Shangyu will definitely fall into a deep sleep and cannot be awake.
But if it wasn’t Jiang Shangyu, then who else could it be?
What did the other party say to Li Huacheng?
In this conversation between her and Li Huacheng, Li Huacheng could be said to be full of sincerity, but there was no malice in that game. He reiterated it three times. To describe it as sincere and sincere is not an exaggeration.
Even though Qin Weibai thinks that she is not as good as Li Huacheng, she still has the most basic judgment. She can be sure that Li Huacheng does not have any ill intentions towards the East Palace at present. He has sent Ma Si here and has no intention of alienating her, at least in the short term.
That's right.
The result now is obvious, that is, the negotiation between her and Li Huacheng went very smoothly this time. She has obtained Li Huacheng's promise. As long as she is willing to cooperate with Li Huacheng's operations, the impact of Li Tianlan's departure from the East Palace will be felt in the dark world.
level is reduced to the lowest level.
As for some of the mysteries brought about by this negotiation...
Qin Weibai sighed softly. From the current point of view, we can only talk about it later.
Qin Weibai reached out and pressed a button on the table.
Soon, Han Xinyan and Ma Si pushed open the office door and walked in again.
Ma Si was a little absent-minded. He looked at Qin Weibai, his eyes were very hot, and at the same time he was a little evasive, with obvious nervousness.
Because since arriving in Tiannan, he has really had no way out.
Either soar into the sky and become important, or fall into disgrace and leave in embarrassment.
At this moment, Qin Weibai can really control his destiny.
She had enough power to reject Ma Si's new appointment.
As for what consequences Qin Weibai and Donghuang Palace will suffer in the future, that is all in the future. At least for now, as long as Qin Weibai refuses, Ma Si's future will be completely ruined.
Both sides suffer...
For Ma Si, who is mature enough intellectually, this is the outcome he is least willing to accept.
He hopes that he can win-win with Donghuang Palace.
"I have a request."
Qin Weibai looked at Ma Si and said in a calm voice.
Ma Si's somewhat evasive gaze suddenly condensed, and his eyes completely lit up, but his posture was more respectful than before: "You say."
What he was afraid of was Qin Weibai's rejection, but what he was least afraid of was Qin Weibai's request.
As long as she is willing to make demands, it means the matter can be discussed.
"The first deputy palace master of the East Palace will be responsible for the connection of all things in Tiannan and Central Continent from today on.
All affairs of the Eastern Palace in the dark world are controlled by Tianlan, and no one else can interfere, do you understand?"
"clear."
Ma Si agreed.
His voice was serious and serious.
He still remained respectful and waited silently.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Qin Weibai to continue speaking.
Ma Si was a little surprised and subconsciously raised his head, only to find that Qin Weibai had lowered his head and began to study the documents on the table again.
"Gone?"
In extreme shock, Ma Si spoke subconsciously.
"Um."
Qin Weibai nodded: "You can go out. I will sign the document later. At the same time, the East Palace will announce your position as the first deputy palace master and the specific scope of responsibilities to both internal and external parties."
Ma Si opened his mouth with a look of disbelief.
Qin Weibai said she had a request.
The meaning of this sentence is that only if this requirement is met, can he become the first deputy palace master of the East Palace.
Could it be that the request she made was the one just now?
No...
To be precise, did Qin Weibai really make any request?
He came to Tiannan on behalf of the parliament, so naturally he will be responsible for all things that connect Tiannan with Zhongzhou in the future.
As for a series of things in the dark world, they are all controlled by Li Tianlan...
This sounds like there is no difference from Li Tianlan not leaving the East Palace, but in fact it is very different.
The most critical point is that Li Tianlan's identity has changed.
He went directly from the palace master of the Eastern Palace to the special advisor and the protector of the country in Zhongzhou.
With the change of identity, the way of dealing with problems will naturally be different.
And as long as the East Palace and Tiannan still belong to Central Continent, then Li Tianlan will naturally be responsible for all issues in the dark world. This point does not need to be emphasized at all.
So Qin Weibai's so-called request...
In the end, there was no requirement?
Ma Si's eyes were a little complicated, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
He originally thought that Qin Weibai's request would be extremely harsh, and would even cause him to be completely restricted to death in a short period of time. This was a normal situation. Even if he moved to another place, Ma Si himself felt that he would do this.
Qin Weibai, and even the entire East Palace, were wary of him, and Ma Si could understand it.
If Qin Weibai really does this, Ma Si can only accept it. No matter what, this will be much better than returning to Youzhou in despair, even if he can only be a useless person in Tiannan in a short period of time.
As a mascot, he must be firmly nailed here and look for opportunities in the future.
But unfortunately...
However, Qin Weibai really didn't give him any restrictions. Not only did he not give him any restrictions, but he also gave him the greatest degree of freedom.
A request that is not a requirement, coupled with the announcement that will be issued both inside and outside Tiannan...
what does that mean?
Qin Weibai has already mentioned clear scope of responsibilities.
The meanings of these four words are obviously different.
No matter how small the scope of this responsibility is, as long as Qin Weibai brings it up, it means that Qin Weibai is ready to give him a certain amount of power.
Compared with the uneasiness Ma Silai felt before coming to the East Palace, this kind of treatment now is simply like a bad start.
"Um."
Qin Weibai simply hummed and said calmly: "I have just communicated with the teacher. He is very optimistic about your ability. Do your job well and don't let me and the teacher down."
Ma Si stood there in silence for a while, seeming to understand something.
As the person who has been with Li Huacheng for the longest time and knows Li Huacheng best, only Ma Si dares to use his wildest imagination to speculate on some theoretically possible situations.
He nodded and said softly: "I understand."
Qin Weibai didn't raise his head, just waved his hand.
Ma Si left the office in silence.
"This person is difficult to deal with."
Han Xinyan looked at Ma Si's leaving figure and frowned slightly.
She looked at Qin Weibai and said seriously: "Being able to stay with Li Huacheng for so long already shows his ability.
Just now was actually a good opportunity, even the last opportunity. What happens to him is entirely up to us. We can control him tightly. If we miss this time..."
"That's my problem."
Qin Weibai interrupted Han Xinyan's words, and her voice was very soft: "It's not us."
Han Xinyan's voice suddenly disappeared.
She stood next to Qin Weibai and opened her small mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
Qin Weibai continued to process the documents.
I don't know how long it took before Han Xinyan said with some difficulty: "Sister Qin, I'm sorry..."
She wanted to cry, but she felt that crying now was too green. No, even if she didn't cry, saying I'm sorry wouldn't taste right...
She was a little flustered and said hurriedly: "No, I'm not..."
"nothing."
Qin Weibai smiled: "I know very well what kind of temperament you have, and I can understand why you chose to leave with Tianlan. In the final analysis, your father is too capable. You have been with your father all these years, and your horizons are inevitably high.
Got some...
Tianlan may not be the most suitable for you, but it is definitely the one that can conquer you the most.
I am also a woman, and I understand what you are thinking."
Han Xinyan pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Actually, this isn't a bad thing."
Qin Weibai turned the pen in his hand.
After Li Tianlan left, she seemed to have quickly recovered from the lost state and fully activated her state in the Samsara Palace: "Tianlan is actually very careless sometimes. There is a woman by his side to take care of me."
Taking care of him is not a bad thing.
You have been with Tianlan for a long time, and Tianlan wants to take you away, which is enough to prove your ability."
She looked at Han Xinyan: "I am no longer with him, and his future life will be temporarily left to you.
Well, I won't do the handover work today. I'll wait for a while, no, now...
I am writing a document for you now. There are some precautions in it, all about Tianlan. There is a lot of content. You should print it out and keep it in your mind..."
Qin Weibai tapped his chin with a pen and continued: "Also, if you are following him, you have to keep an eye on him for me. I will fly to Youzhou often in the future, and you must cooperate with me then.
, let me know Tianlan’s movements and his mood at all times..."
Han Xinyan stopped talking.
She looked blankly at Qin Weibai, who was thinking seriously, and her mind was filled with question marks.
how...
How come it only takes a few words...
Did he change from Li Tianlan's personal secretary to an undercover agent sent by Qin Weibai to Li Tianlan?
