Mrs. Han had just finished an internal seminar and came to the reception room. She saw Zhang Chi sitting there waiting obediently. She knocked on the glass door of the reception room and motioned Zhang Chi to go to her office.
Mrs. Han's office is much more spacious and brighter than the one in the college. It even has a fully automatic coffee machine. In the R&D center that emphasizes efficiency, the old lady doesn't even have time to grind coffee by hand.
He gave Zhang Chi a cup of fragrant coffee. Zhang Chi took a sip and said, "How about you grind the coffee with your own hands to make it fragrant."
Old Mrs. Han smiled happily, knowing that this boy was deliberately trying to flatter him, but it just felt comfortable to listen to. Maybe it was because he was getting older and his ears had become softer.
"Roughly the same."
Zhang Chi said: "It's much better. Handmade things have craftsmanship and emotion in them."
Mrs. Han smiled and said: "Please tell me in a nice way, tell me, did you get into trouble again by coming here to find me today?" Knowing that this kid is not worried, he probably made another mistake in the academy.
Zhang Chi said: "I didn't cause any trouble, I just want to ask you something." He told them about Xiao Changyuan's meeting with them today.
Old Mrs. Han said: "The joining of the commissioned students to the college was only decided by the school committee recently. You have been enrolled for a while. You should be able to see that the college is very different from other departments in Shuimu."
Zhang Chi nodded.
Mrs. Han said: "In recent years, there have been more and more people with super powers. Xiao Changyuan should have explained this specifically when you signed the confidentiality agreement when you entered school."
Zhang Chi said: "Is the purpose of our study just to deal with those superpowers who want to do evil in the future?"
Mrs. Han said: "It's not that simple. In order to conduct research and risk control on such incidents, the country established a special department in the 1960s. The official name was the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, but internally it was called the Mystery Bureau. Later
Due to some changes, the Mystery Bureau was banned in the 1970s. However, after entering this century, some supernatural phenomena emerged one after another, which attracted great attention from the country, so the reconstruction of the Mystery Bureau was put on the agenda."
Mrs. Han took a sip of coffee and continued: "The reserve and training of talents actually started five years ago. In the past five years, we have discovered and trained 30 students through various channels, but we discovered a phenomenon.
There are more and more young people with superpowers. This year, the number of new students recruited by the college through various channels has reached 101. It may not sound like a particularly shocking number, but in the past five years, we have only discovered a total of
Forty-three people, I don’t know if this number will explode next year.”
Zhang Chi understood that there was no essential difference between their current batch of freshmen and the previous Wei trainees. They were all serving as a talent reserve for the establishment of the Mysterious Bureau.
New World Management College is different from traditional colleges and universities in that their admissions criteria do not even depend on college entrance examination scores.
The New World Management major of Shuimu University is just a superficial guise, or it is just a shadow college. The real New World Management School admissions are strict and demanding, and there is no need to pass the college entrance examination.
It is precisely because of the surge in the number of freshmen this year that Mizuki established the New World School of Management for the first time this year. Some people are destined to become foils, and there are 32 freshmen who have been eliminated.
Mrs. Han said: "People with super powers have existed for a long time, but there has never been a sudden increase in recent years. Let me give you an inappropriate example. Astronauts who live on the space station for a period of time usually grow in height.
Phenomenon, changes in the environment will lead to corresponding changes in the human body."
She paused and said, "The large number of superpowers may not be a coincidence. Experts suspect that the environment we live in has changed. In the past six months, many students have made breakthrough progress in their cultivation."
Zhang Chi said: "What is the relationship between Mr. Qin and the Mysterious Bureau?"
Mrs. Han said: "He is one of the first seven founders of the Mysterious Bureau and the last director of the Mysterious Bureau. In fact, he is the most suitable person to hold the position of dean of the college. Unfortunately, he would rather enjoy his retired life than exert his full potential."
The residual heat may have been taken lightly.”
Zhang Chi said: "The forty trainees from the Mysterious Bureau are going to study with us for four years?"
Mrs. Han said: "Soon you will enter actual combat training. These forty trainees will receive training with you. In fact, they can enter the academy to study to a certain extent because of you and Mi Xiaobai."
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, what does it have to do with them?
Mrs. Han said: "Academician An Chongguang is responsible for the establishment of the Mysterious Bureau. Unsurprisingly, he will become the new director of the Mysterious Bureau. It was the outstanding performance of you and Mi Xiaobai in the Tianying System that made him aware of those who are about to
There are big deficiencies in the trainees who have completed the training and started to work, so they are asked to re-train. Moreover, the life field system that we are currently upgrading will provide a new training method, which is also an excellent training for these trainees.
training opportunities.”
Zhang Chi said: "But I heard from Director Xiao that there will be competition between Weipei students and us, and we freshmen will eliminate many people because of their arrival."
Mrs. Han said: "New World School of Management has never been a traditional school. Because students all have certain superpowers, our assessment also adopts a credit system. If you are good enough, you can complete your studies within one year."
When entering the workplace, those who cannot adapt to competition can only face elimination."
Zhang Chi's heart lit up at Mrs. Han's words. Yes, why didn't you consider completing your credits and graduating as soon as possible? Life is too short to waste so much time in college.
Mrs. Han said: "Academician An appreciates you very much."
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and said: "I feel like I have fallen into a whirlpool, sinking deeper and deeper."
Mrs. Han laughed: "Mr. Qin recommended you. In fact, you can ask him for more information about the Mysterious Bureau."
After school, Zhang Chi went to Shaorou Shengsheng and brought the sign of the College Student Entrepreneurship Base. When he saw Fang Dahang's frown, he asked and found out that the tables, chairs and benches they had placed outside had been confiscated by the urban management, and they were also given a two-dollar ticket.
A fine of 10,000 yuan.
Fang Dahang said: "They are too disrespectful to Lu Qiang, aren't they? They've already said hello, which is good. Not only have they confiscated the tables and chairs, but they've also issued a fine."
Zhang Chi said: "I told you a long time ago, don't be too greedy. You put out the tables, chairs and benches before it gets dark. Isn't this causing problems for others?"
Fang Dahang said: "Everything was fine in the past." He asked Zhang Chi to call Lu Jianqiang to intercede. Even if the tables, chairs and benches were not returned, he could see if the fine could be withdrawn. Twenty thousand yuan is a lot of money.
Zhang Chi had no choice but to call Lu Jianqiang. Lu Qianqiang scolded him before he asked. It turned out that Lu Qianqiang had also been complained about, saying that he acted as a protective umbrella for these two small traders.
, and also reported him for accepting bribes.
Zhang Chi was embarrassed when he heard that he had caused such a big trouble to Lu Qiang. He hung up the phone dejectedly and told Fang Dahang the actual situation. Fang Dahang became even more depressed when he heard this: "Someone must have reported us and are jealous of our good business. I think ten
There are ** companions.”
The two were each looking for their own relationship. Fang Dahang called his cousin Lu Jinqiang. Lu Jinqiang told him that urban environmental governance was being carried out recently. Their barbecue restaurant was among the key areas of improvement, and open-air barbecues were strictly prohibited. He told them not to bother.
, it’s useless to look for connections, no one can stand up to commit a crime and sell them such a favor.
I suggest that they operate in a low-key manner first and improve the environment in the store. Anyway, there is no end to the money, and long-term success is the way to go.
Zhang Chi didn't get through to his master Xie Zhongjun. The two of them admitted that they were unlucky. Fang Dahang calculated it. I don't know how long this rectification will last. It is estimated that their income will be reduced a lot. Zhang Chi plans to take some money from the store.
Let’s pay off the interest owed to Mr. Qin first, after all, it’s almost the end of the year.
Fang Dahang took stock of everything, and found that they had some surplus from the time they opened until now. Calculated, it was 200,000 yuan. To say that barbecue is really profitable. If it develops smoothly, they can make a profit in a year.
There is no problem with a million-dollar surplus, but things always keep happening.
Zhang Chi is a person who keeps his promises. He can never go back on his promise to Mr. Qin. He first took 80,000 yuan from the store, plus a total of 200,000 yuan in his own hand. He deposited it on a bank card and chose a weekend to give it to him.
Mr. Qin sent him there, and he basically returned to before liberation overnight, becoming poor and poor again.
If he hadn't come to give money, Zhang Chi wouldn't have taken the initiative to visit. Ever since Qin Junqing's incident, Zhang Chi has become more wary of the Qin family. No one likes to be taken advantage of by others, even if Qin Junqing's use of him is based on the exchange of interests.
superior.
Zhang Chi believed that Mr. Qin gave him the alchemy furnace to pave the way for Qin Junqing's alchemy. He even began to suspect that Qin Luzhu's acquaintance with him was part of the plan. Although Zhang Chi did not want to speculate on the Qin family with malice, the estrangement in reality was unknown.
It happened unconsciously.
The more Zhang Chi was like this, the less he wanted to owe the Qin family any favors. If the alchemy furnace wasn't so important, Zhang Chi would have even wanted to send the alchemy furnace back intact, but just thinking about it, he couldn't bear to part with it!
Walking into Wenming Lane, the snow on both sides of the road has not yet melted. Several children were building snowmen on the roadside. Zhang Chi took a look and found that Xiao Chunan was not among them. Xiao Jiujiu went to Hengdian to film a movie, and Liang Xiuyuan helped her make many contacts.
She has the resources, but after all, she is too young and can only start as a supporting actress, which is still far from the big name she wants.
Strange to say, after breaking up with Lin Daiyu, the contact between him and Xiao Jiujiu became much less. He rarely even made phone calls. He only sent messages occasionally, which were all greetings between friends. The words were not clean.
Like a relaxed style.
Whether Zhang Chi admits it or not, Lin Daiyu's incident still had a certain psychological impact on him.
When I arrived at the door of Qin's hometown, I met Xu Cuihua who was going to buy vegetables. Xu Cuihua greeted: "Xiao Zhang is here. I was just about to buy vegetables. I will buy you whatever you want to eat."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Auntie, you're welcome. I have something else to do. I'll say a few words with Master and then leave."
Xu Cuihua said: "I haven't seen you coming here for a while."
Zhang Chi used the excuse that he was busy studying, so he couldn't spare the time.
I haven't seen Mr. Qin for a while. The old man has lost a lot of weight and his hair is almost white. He is sitting alone in the yard basking in the sun. When he saw Zhang Chi coming over, Mr. Qin was very happy and said with a smile: "I am so bored."
, come! Play a few games of chess with me."
Immortal Zhang's scalp went numb when he heard this. The last time he played land war chess with Mr. Qin was still fresh in his memory, so he hurriedly said: "Master, I came here today because of important matters."
"Nothing is as important as chess."
Mr. Qin took Zhang Chi to the study. Zhang Chi had no choice but to play three games of chess with the playful old man, and lost three to zero, so Mr. Qin let him go.
Zhang Chi took out the bank card, handed it to Mr. Qin and said, "This is the interest of 200,000 yuan owed to you."
I originally thought that Mr. Qin would be polite to me, but I didn't expect that Mr. Qin would collect his bank card without even calling. The old man made a clear distinction between feelings and money. Zhang Chi thought this was worth learning.
Zhang Chi added: "The password is six six."
Mr. Qin said: "It seems that the business of your barbecue restaurant is good."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "It's just so-so."
"Your kid hasn't been here for a while. Did something happen to him?"
Zhang Chi knew that Mr. Qin must have noticed something, so he quickly explained: "I haven't been in a good mood lately, and I've been broken up in love." Thinking about it, it was depressing. The chance of finding a half-sister in a relationship is much lower than winning the lottery.
.
Mr. Qin said: "If you are young, don't be in love all day long. If you have time to fall in love, why not study hard? Besides, how old are you? Why are you so anxious? There are many good girls, one after another."
Zhang Chi said: "I will be nineteen soon." But he was thinking in his heart that if what Huang Chunxiao said was true, he should be older than his actual age and he would already be nineteen.
Mr. Qin said: "Do you want to eat here at noon?"
Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "No, I still have something to do."
"What a big deal? You didn't even eat with me?" Boss Qin said with a face.
Zhang Chi also felt that it would be bad to refuse again, and when he was about to agree, Mr. Qin said again: "Let's go out to eat, and you go somewhere with me."
Zhang Chi came here on a motorcycle and originally planned to call a taxi, but Mr. Qin asked him to ride with him, saying that he wanted to experience riding in the second-class seat of a motorcycle.
Zhang Chi was really impressed by him. This old man with old arms and legs actually wanted to go for a ride with him. Thinking about the style, it was very strange. I was riding a motorcycle with an old man sticking out his ass behind him. Oh my god! It's really rare.
Since Mr. Qin insisted, Zhang Chi had no choice but to let him go. When he got in the car, he handed Mr. Qin his helmet. Mr. Qin didn't use it. He put a brown woolen hat on his head and sat sideways on the back seat of the motorcycle.
Go up and say to Zhang Chi like a general commanding soldiers: "Drive!"
Zhang Chi found that Old Qin's sitting posture perfectly avoided the problem of sticking his butt out, so he started the motorcycle and headed west according to Old Qin's guidance.
After driving about twenty kilometers, Zhang Chi realized that Mr. Qin had guided him to a cemetery. He didn't want to eat at all. He had run so far against the cold wind. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and his stomach was growling with hunger.
The person in charge of guarding the cemetery was an old man with a white beard. He was squatting at the door to eat with a big white enamel teapot. When he saw Zhang Chi riding a motorcycle, he was a little puzzled, but when he saw Mr. Qin put down the teapot immediately and stood up straight.
He raised his body and gave a military salute to Mr. Qin in a standard military posture.
After getting out of the car, Mr. Qin returned a standard military salute to him, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Lao Wang, thank you for your hard work!"
"Reporting to the chief is not hard at all!"
Mr. Qin took Zhang Chi into the cemetery. The cemetery was not large in size, but it was well-kept. Even in winter, the pines and cypresses stood proudly inside, and there were still many uncut flowers left on the branches and leaves.
snow.
Mr. Qin said: "My colleagues from the Mysterious Bureau are buried here, and most of them died in the hands of Xiang Tianxing."
