As the old saying goes, it’s just because it’s difficult to do that you can show your true ability. Anyone can do something well. Doing it well is not called meritorious service, it’s called work within one’s duties. It’s hard work that goes against the odds. Only the kind of things that others can do
When bad things are done well, they are called meritorious deeds.
Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully for a long time, but still felt that no matter how bad the headache was, it would be a good idea.
As a member of Quanzhen Taoism, Qi Xuansu naturally wanted to ask Master Donghua for his opinion, even if it was symbolic.
Of course Qi Xuansu does not have to report. No one stipulates that he must report. In terms of his position, he does not have a strict subordinate relationship with Donghua Zhenren. It is just that it is involved in factional disputes, and his every move will be interpreted by others. If he does not report,
The interpretation is that Qi Xuansu has other thoughts and wants to change his family. Even if Donghua doesn't think so, others will think so, which will cause confusion.
Master Qingwei's words "Don't rush to reply and think about it carefully when you go back" also have this meaning, leaving enough time for Qi Xuansu to ask for instructions and report.
So Qi Xuansu met Donghua Zhenren again and made a detailed report in the signing room.
Qi Xuansu naturally reported it truthfully and repeated his conversation with Master Qingwei verbatim. This is why Qi Xuansu deliberately changed the subject when it came to Ziweitang. If he had agreed with Master Qingwei at that time, then
Should I not say it now? If I say it, Master Donghua’s reaction will be unpredictable. If I don’t say it, then I am hiding something. Loyalty is not absolute, which is absolutely disloyal.
After listening to Qi Xuansu's report, Master Donghua was not surprised at all - even Qi Xuansu had heard the rumors, so there was no reason why Master Donghua would not know about it.
Master Donghua asked, "Were you and Li Zhiqing the only ones present at that time?"
Qi Xuansu replied, "Yes, Master Qingwei's secretary Shen Yuqing is just guarding the door."
Master Donghua was silent for a moment and then asked, "When did you receive the notice?"
Qi Xuansu said, "This morning, it was very sudden..."
Qi Xuansu deliberately stopped, but Master Donghua did not answer. The silence in the signing room became a bit scary, and the pressure rose sharply.
It's just that Qi Xuansu was not the seventh-grade Taoist priest back then. He didn't say anything and just bore it.
The silence lasted for quite some time,
Master Donghua was not angry. Instead, he showed an approving smile and took the initiative to break the silence. "After all, he is a person who has experienced life and death. It is good to be calm. As an aside, I also asked Jianyuan this way back then. I
After the first silence, which lasted only a few breaths, he couldn't hold it anymore and started to speak actively. I still didn't speak, and there were two more silences, and then he said everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube. In fact,
At Daomen
, you must learn to keep your composure and hide your words. Don’t tell the second person what only one person should know. Don’t tell the third person what only two people should know. Say what should be said and what should not be said.
It's rotten in your heart. Don't have any reservations just because you are your senior boss. This is not good."
These are some experiences that go beyond the scope of superiors and subordinates. Qi Xuansu said solemnly, "I have written it down."
Master Donghua continued, "Master Qingwei's proposal is a double-edged sword. My attitude is between two options. The key depends on your own thoughts."
Qi Xuansu said, "I think... although the risk is high, it's worth a try."
"Even if you risk your own future?" Master Donghua looked at Qi Xuansu.
"The word 'gamble' sounds unpleasant, but that's what it's all about." Qi Xuansu patted the table lightly, "It clicked and put the bet on. Betting on one's own destiny is also betting on the development of the general trend. Everything in the world is
, who can really be sure? If you are 50% sure about something, you can try it."
Master Donghua smiled and said, "It's like competing for a great leader. No one is 100% sure. It doesn't have to be 50%. As long as you have three or four achievements, you can give it a try."
Qi Xuansu asked tentatively, "The real person agrees?"
"I have no other opinions." Master Donghua leaned back in his chair and waited for Qi Xuansu's next words. This time it was not about exerting pressure, but the restraint of an elder.
Naturally, Qi Xuansu would not take it any further and said slowly, "After I agree to Master Qingwei's conditions, I will also formally report to Master Qingwei about Qi Haoran."
Master Donghua nodded slightly, "Okay, you go and report."
There is no need to say everything, there is no need for Qi Xuansu to say more. The reason why Master Donghua agreed so happily was because he needed Qi Xuansu to go to Master Qingwei to take the initiative to report things about Qi Haoran. Only by passing this level first, can he continue
Things will fall into place naturally.
Qi Xuansu stood up to say goodbye and left.
He met Zhang Yuelu again and "reported" the situation to Zhang Yuelu.
Yes, notification.
As Zhang Yuelu said, it doesn't matter what she thinks. What matters is the attitude of the real people who knew her.
Now that the attitudes of Master Qingwei and Master Donghua have been decided, which means the result has been decided, it is natural to report a result instead of asking for her opinion.
And strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu had already asked for Zhang Yuelu's opinion before meeting Qingwei Zhenren, and Zhang Yuelu did give her opinion, so there was no need to ask for advice a second time.
Zhang Yuelu also expected this, but said, "Since you have decided to go to the New World, you must be fully prepared. Everything else is imaginary, and the safety of your life is real."
After going around in a circle, Qi Xuansu found Master Qingwei again the next day and expressed his willingness to take on this important task.
Master Qingwei couldn't help but praise Qi Xuansu for knowing the general situation, considering the overall situation, etc.
Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and formally reported Qi Haoran's affairs to Master Qingwei - not a verbal report, but a written material. Qi Xuansu stayed up all night last night to write this, carefully considering every word, and finally asked Zhang Yuelu to help check it.
The two of them studied together for a long time, striving to make it watertight. The others studied at night with Hongxiu Tianxiang, while Qi Xuansu immersed themselves in research, writing reports and picking out words. They wrote more than a dozen drafts, which is a different kind of Taoist romance.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also sent a copy to Donghua Zhenren. Issues involving Taoist priests, rather than simple secret association issues, are usually jointly investigated by Ziweitang and Beichen Hall, but Beichen Hall takes the lead.
In this way, with the records of Ziweitang and Master Donghua, it also eliminates the possibility of Master Qingwei not admitting his account afterwards. Although this possibility is very small, it must be guarded against.
This reporting opportunity may not be the best, but it is not bad. After all, Master Qingwei has just decided to use Qi Xuansu and praised Qi Xuansu. It is hard to fall out immediately. It is better to use "face-changing" skills less often and more frequently.
If you spread the word too much, it will be very detrimental to your reputation. Many times, it is best to be wise and foolish. Everyone knows that you are smart, but that is not necessarily smart, but a rather negative burden. Especially the big shots will pay more attention to this.
.
Master Qingwei was not surprised after reading Qi Xuansu's report.
Don’t forget that Beichen Hall is still responsible for part of Yujing’s defense. Especially when the line of chief sects is weakening, Beichen Hall’s real power has further expanded. What can happen inside and outside Yujing that can be hidden from Beichen Hall’s eyes?
Master Qingwei is the leader of Beichen Hall.
The report about Qi Xuansu's night break into the Requiem Division has long been placed on the desk of Qingwei Zhenren. Although Xu Jiaorong warned the Taoist priests in the Requiem Division, Xu Jiaorong was only a powerful figure in the local Taoist government after all. How could he compare?
As the current manager of Shang Beichen Hall, as long as Beichen Hall wants to investigate, there is nothing that cannot be found.
Although Qingwei Zhenren doesn’t know Qi Haoran’s
The tomb was empty, and no one knew about the military dissolution, but Qi Xuansu's desire to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy could not be concealed from Qingwei Zhenren.
However, Master Qingwei did not make a fuss about this matter. Firstly, he did not know the results of the autopsy. Unless it was a last resort, Beichen Hall could not dig a grave to verify it. Secondly, Master Qingwei still wanted to use Qi Xuansu and did not want to
Making a fuss, his silent attitude after receiving the report made many people in Beichen Hall who were trying to figure out what he wanted to do not dare to act rashly.
At any time, don’t act smart, let alone pretend to solve problems for your boss before you understand the true attitude of your boss. In fact, it means you have figured out your boss’s attitude. If it’s not to please your boss, then there’s no need to express yourself too much.
If unforeseen consequences really occur, without proof in black and white, who will be held responsible?
Now after reading Qi Xuansu's report, Master Qingwei has understood a lot of things. It turns out that this is why Qi Xuansu opened the coffin and performed the autopsy. He also understands that after Qi Xuansu reported, it means that Qi Xuansu has made up for this flaw, causing others to lose the opportunity to make a fuss.
.
However, Qingwei Zhenren does not regret it. This is an exchange in itself.
Master Qingwei put down the written report and in front of Qi Xuansu, used a red pen to mark a line on the report.
Because the writing habit in the East is from right to left and from top to bottom, the vertical direction is called "row" and the horizontal direction is called "column". For example, there are two lines of tears, but the tears flow vertically, not horizontally. There is also one line.
The egrets are flying upright in the blue sky.
The writing habit of the West is to write horizontally, so the west is just opposite to the east. The horizontal direction is "row" and the vertical direction is "column". Many people are influenced by the West and often confuse the difference between rows and columns.
This line is written vertically, "Please ask the supervisor to find out as soon as possible." Then there is another line, which is the signature and date of Master Qingwei.
Then Master Qingwei called Shen Yuqing in and handed the report to Shen Yuqing, "Save the original and forward the copy to Deputy Hall Master Lu for quick processing."
"Yes." Shen Yuqing responded and left with the report.
This is undoubtedly an attitude.
The next thing is that Master Qingwei exercised his right of suggestion as the master of the hall and proposed to Jinque that Qi Xuansu should be the chief deputy chief of Beichen Hall. Then Jinque discussed and approved it and officially dismissed Qi Xuansu as the chief deputy of the Borneo Taoist House.
As the deputy head of the palace, Qi Xuansu was officially appointed as the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall.
Because it will take some time to go through the procedure, all Qi Xuansu has to do is wait for the notification with peace of mind.
