Chapter 344: No Joking
After returning to Jinping, Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing returned to their resident apartment first and packed their luggage.
As soon as they opened the door of the apartment, they smelled the familiar smell of champagne.
"Surprise!"
As a joyful voice sounded, the lights in the hall suddenly became bright, colorful strips flew, and the music played a light and pleasant melody. The candlelight on the long table in the restaurant was dim, and the meaty aroma of dinner stimulated the taste buds of the two people at the door.
Xue Yang created the effect of a welcome party with his own efforts alone.
At this time, he was wearing a fashionable casual suit and opened his arms to Jiang Qian: "Welcome home! Brother!"
Jiang Qian reluctantly cooperated with Xue Yang's welcome ceremony, and before this guy tried to turn to Ye Xiaojing, he interrupted his bold behavior in time: "You are dressed so coquettishly, did you get a regular job in advance?"
Xue Yang turned his head with some grief, and corrected him with a tragic and serious expression: "What are you talking about, Old Jiang? This is obviously a welcome ceremony carefully prepared to celebrate your promotion to power and Sister Xiaojing's return from the army! By the way, I just told you the news that I got a regular job in advance..."
"As expected, it's expensive." Jiang Qian perfunctorily said, and at the same time stroked Ye Xiaojing's waist. The latter smiled and pushed the suitcase inside.
"What do you mean by expected? I'm sincere, okay!"
Xue Yang rolled his eyes at the newly promoted nobleman, then snatched the luggage from Ye Xiaojing with a smile on his face: "Hey, Sister Xiaojing, I'll do it!"
A burst of busy work.
When the three of them sat back at the table, the dishes were still hot.
Xue Yang was full of curiosity about Jiang Qian's promotion to a nobleman, and he was very excited and endless when he questioned him.
"No way! I can't even imagine that kind of elimination rate... But the tribe summoning trick is too cool, and there is also the beast king! My goodness, you actually got the beast king... I heard that it is a high-level combat capability that only a very small number of nobles have!"
Xue Yang looked at Jiang Qian with longing, but what he thought of in his heart was the scene of being lingering with his beloved Xiaohong.
"Xue Yang, I will return the summoning wind chime to you in a few days. There was an accident during the promotion, so it may need to be repaired." Jiang Qian apologized.
"It's okay, you can take it, I can't use it for the time being." Xue Yang said generously.
Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the problem was not with the summoning wind chime, but the target Kraken sea monster that was summoned... I'm not sure if it's still alive.
During the training island, because all aspects were strictly controlled, Jiang Qian never had the opportunity to enter "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" to check the survival status of the Kraken sea monster after his return.
His plan was that if the summoning wind chime was really broken, he would compensate Xue Yang with a new prop. This prop did not necessarily have to reach the rare quality of the summoning wind chime, but it must make up for Xue Yang's shortcomings and be practical.
"By the way, after you were promoted this time, you will be promoted again, right?"
"I think so, waiting for the notice." Jiang Qian slowly stuffed the food into his mouth and chatted leisurely.
"Ah... I'm envious!" Xue Yang turned to Ye Xiaojing, "Sister Xiaojing should also work hard to get promoted, don't let this guy get too proud~"
Jiang Qian hurriedly stopped: "Your sister Xiaojing has long been a powerful person."
"Puff! Ahem!" Xue Yang was a little silly, "Sister Xiaojing has long been a powerful person? Then why did Sister Xiaojing recognize you as your leader?"
"Maybe because I'm handsome." Jiang Qian said calmly.
"Fuck, how is this possible."
"Everything is possible." Jiang Qian pushed Ye Xiaojing with his elbow, "Isn't it?"
"...Huh?" Ye Xiaojing was stunned, put down the phone and looked up, and pressed the phone screen downwards.
Xue Yang happily repeated Jiang Qian's arrogant remarks, but Ye Xiaojing became more calm the more she listened. Finally, she simply raised her lips and replied with a deep smile: "Yes, that's right, I'm a fangirl."
"Really? Sister Xiaojing!" Xue Yang was distressed, "Why don't you look at me too, I'm much more handsome than Lao Jiang!"
Ye Xiaojing declined politely: "You are too handsome, and you feel insecure when you show it off. He is different. He is just in the range that I appreciate and feel more at ease with."
Xue Yang was immediately happy and worried: "It turns out that I am too handsome. Yes, this is indeed my fault."
The three of them ended the dinner happily.
While washing dishes, Xue Yang dragged Jiang Qian to do some useless work: "The internship at the Wanzhong Group Biological Center is really not a job for humans! I am a relative of the family, and you dare to order me to do odd jobs, it's really unfair."
"You can slack off."
"No, you don't know," Xue Yang explained to Jiang Qian very depressedly, "Teacher Zhang is here too!"
Jiang Qian smiled: "So your work is all assigned by Teacher Zhang?"
"Yes! If I dare to slack off, how can I get away with it at the end of this semester?!" Xue Yang's expression was distorted, struggling, tangled, and then relieved, "Fortunately, I will be transferred soon."
"When will I be transferred?"
"Just for a few days, oh yes, I'll lend you the bus, I have a lot of stuff, you can help me pick it up." Xue Yang made the request without hesitation.
Jiang Qian put away the washed dishes, shook the water off his hands, and asked back: "You let the powerful be your driver?"
Xue Yang was stunned, then showed Jiang Qian the call records with a sly smile: "My sister and aunt have often called to ask about your recent situation recently. I always report according to what you told me. Do you think I did it right?"
The air was quiet for a moment.
"You did a good job." Jiang Qian remained calm, "Send me the time to use the car, and this powerful person will pick you up on time."
When he returned to the room at night, Jiang Qian found Ye Xiaojing standing quietly in front of the window in the corridor, looking worried.
So he walked over and hugged her slender waist from behind: "What's wrong?"
I found that she was a little absent-minded when we were eating.
Ye Xiaojing didn't beat around the bush, and turned her cheek to say: "Jiang Qian, Ji Ming sent me a new appointment letter of intent, as the deputy director of the Jinping Operations Department. He said you know about this."
After speaking, she watched Jiang Qian's reaction.
"Well, I know. I think it's reasonable. Are you dissatisfied?" Jiang Qian leaned close to Ye Xiaojing's ear from behind, breathing on her earlobe, and the girl's body trembled slightly.
In fact, Ji Ming's original intention was to let Jiang Qian inform Ye Xiaojing, because Jiang Qian is currently Ye Xiaojing's direct superior, but Jiang Qian thinks that as the Minister of Operations, it is more appropriate for Ji Ming to be directly appointed as the deputy minister.
"Not very satisfied." Ye Xiaojing murmured.
"Because Ji Ming is not in your aesthetic range?"
"Don't come on, tell the truth, when will your appointment come?" Ye Xiaojing ignored Jiang Qian's ridicule, but was eager to know where Jiang Qian was going.
"Mine hasn't been decided yet. I guess there will be news after I go to Beijing for further studies." Jiang Qian said.
Ye Xiaojing was speechless.
Jiang Qian knew what Ye Xiaojing was thinking, so he continued: "Do you feel uncomfortable leaving me now? I have become a commander without troops, while you are promoted step by step."
Ye Xiaojing's breathing tightened for a moment, and he was about to say something but stopped.
"That's not the case. Based on my recent contributions to the license holder official, they can give me a lot of job options, which may not be lower than the position of deputy director of branch operations. At present, I am entangled in the relationship between all parties. I haven't reached an agreement, so I haven't decided where to go next."
Jiang Qian continued:
"In fact, I am very satisfied. The position of deputy director of operations matches your qualifications. After accumulating for a period of time, it will be a natural thing to be promoted to the fifth state. In this way, you can also stay in Jinping for a long time, and the distance between us will not be too far."
"And, once you are confirmed as the deputy director, you are In addition to the second figures other than the Ming, the information and resources I have mastered will be broaden out. I will expect you to help me. "Although Ye Xiajing also recognizes Jiang Qian, it is still difficult to mention the interest:" Jiang Qian, do you know? "The position of intention" is the official rules of the licensee: in order to avoid risks, the close parties of the intimacy are not allowed to hold an important position in the same department at the same time. "Even so, would you still feel satisfied?" , Go away. "Don't go inside." "Inside?" …
The next day.
Jiang Qian and Ye Xiaojing appeared on time at the Jinping Special Affairs Center, which immediately triggered onlookers and discussions.
"Qianlong Wuyong is back! I haven't seen him for a long time. This guy seems to have become more handsome~"
"Oh, you are really... Be careful with your words, call me Qianlong God!"
"It's not easy. Those little bitches on the forum said they envy us! In fact, Qianlong Wuyong rarely comes to the unit. He is either on a mission or on the way to a mission..."
"That's right. I haven't seen him for a month, and he has been promoted to a powerful person! How do you say it? A day without seeing you is like a long time~"
"Damn! Qianlong Wuyong's promotion speed is really like a long time without seeing you."
"When I debuted, why didn't I take advantage of his good feng shui..."
The discussions here include envy and jealousy from male colleagues, as well as admiration and admiration from female colleagues.
Including a small number of middle and senior leaders whose positions are higher than Jiang Qian! What they envied most was Jiang Qian's youth. He was a young talent with great potential. At his prime, he had the strength and resources that many people would never have even if they worked hard until they were old.
In their eyes, Jiang Qian was lucky and could be called the chosen one.
After all, most people would only focus on the attention and fame that Jiang Qian had gained, and selectively ignore the twists and turns and life-and-death moments he had experienced in these few short months.
After meeting with colleagues from the same department, Ye Xiaojing and Jiang Qian separated in the corridor.
One went to Ji Ming's office to discuss the appointment; the other went to the logistics department to repair and evaluate the props.
After the promotion ceremony, some of Jiang Qian's props were worn to varying degrees and needed timely maintenance and repair.
The related maintenance and repair costs are not cheap, starting from six figures and not capped. But Jiang Qian does not need to spend money on this part of the cost. The official pays the bulk, and formal employees only need to pay a symbolic fraction.
There are many official internal benefits and conveniences like this, which are privileges that casual cultivators can only dream of.
When he came to the logistics department, the second-in-command deputy minister came up with a smile and greeted Jiang Qian warmly about the smooth progress of the promotion ceremony, even though the two met for the first time today.
The deputy minister was obviously a master at handling relationships. The content of the communication with Jiang Qian was just right, neither taboo nor comfortable.
This was undoubtedly done to make friends with the future leader of the Jinping Action Department, not just to treat Jiang Qian as an elite backbone.
Of course, Jiang Qian would not neglect the purpose of coming here.
Since the other party was interested in making friends, he took this opportunity to carefully ask some questions about prop identification and classification.
After face-to-face communication with the second-in-command of the logistics department and the professional expert in charge of identification, Jiang Qian finally had a further understanding of his current prop reserves:
First of all, there is indeed a set of operational classification standards for the identification of prop rank and quality, and the prop classification implemented according to this standard is basically in line with the rules of the super-species world.
But this set of identification standards is not completely applicable to all props.
According to incomplete statistics, among all the props currently recorded by the official, there are about 0.01% of the props that exceed this standard, and their actual performance far exceeds the identification results of the conventional process.
In Jiang Qian's impression, the contraband children's water guns and the pens that some families are eager to get seem to belong to this extremely special category.
If you are a little bolder, the little devil suit and the exploration notes also seem to be beyond the conventional standards!
Of course, Jiang Qian did not take out all his treasures to the logistics department for appraisal, after all, "showing off wealth" is very dangerous.
Therefore, he only made a general classification of the props he currently holds according to the official appraisal standards:
Suspected divine props: 2 pieces/set;
Respectively: Gate of Time and Space (imitation), Key of Time and Space*6.
These two sets of props are obviously not suitable for public discussion, and they belong to Jiang Qian's own judgment.
Needless to say, the Key of Time and Space is used in conjunction with the Gate of Time and Space. According to its "functional attributes", it is a medium that can travel through parallel worlds. It is obviously a high-level product of the concept of time.
The imitation of the Gate of Time and Space, because of its "rare attribute" of being able to repeatedly travel back and forth to the copy world for a long time, is close to the attributes of divine props.
Powerful props: 6 pieces/set;
Respectively: house-guarding tourmaline, Beidou button camera, purple gold gourd, fountain pen, children's water gun, ice blue bone-eroding knife.
Among them, the tourmaline and the purple gold gourd are both top-quality props for the rich and powerful, and the Beidou button camera frequently plays an important role in Jiang Qian's various operations.
As a prohibited item, although there are strict restrictions on the use of children's water guns, its performance has obviously surpassed the ranks of the rich and powerful.
Similarly, the reason why it was willing to "submit" to Jiang Qian, who only had two states, was completely greedy for the massive strange pollution sources stored in Jiang Qian! It can be unswerving, which is obviously inseparable from the stock on Jiang Qian.
Conventional props: 9 pieces/set; they are: Exploration Notes, Little Devil Suit, Invisibility Cloak, Chivalrous Cloak, Secret Glasses, Rebound Handkerchief, True Spirit Spider Web, True Living Glue, Four-panel Showcase.
There is nothing much to say, except for the "suspected top-quality" features of the Exploration Notes and Little Devil Suit, the others are almost all rare top-quality props among the conventional props.
In summary, his prop reserves are amazing, and the quality is even more enviable!
After clarifying this part of information, Jiang Qian made a definite arrangement for the two reserved item upgrade opportunities.
The summoning bagpipe was borrowed from Xue Yang and needs to be returned later, so it is not included in the discussion. In addition, the logistics department's assessment of the summoning bagpipe is: no damage, no need to repair.
This means that either the Kraken sea monster is safe and sound, or the death of the sea monster is separated from the use of the bagpipe. For example, the next time the bagpipe is used, another Kraken will be summoned... This is good news, but further observation and verification of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" is required.
After returning from the logistics department, Ye Xiaojing has also been formally interviewed and started to implement the transfer process approval.
"Is it going well? What conditions did Ji Ming offer you?"
"The conditions offered by Ji Ming are not bad, much higher than the salary I received in the East China Sea, and the requirements are also within a reasonable range, which is unexpectedly easy."
"Is it possible that he is still not confident in entrusting you with important tasks?" Jiang Qian laughed and teased.
Ye Xiaojing shrugged: "Then it's up to you."
"It's not bad to transition like this."
As they walked towards the garage, they exchanged their gains.
"What about you? Have you finished the props?"
Sitting in the car, although Ye Xiaojing had changed jobs, he still sat in the driving seat habitually.
"Done."
Jiang Qian fastened his seat belt and asked with a look of enjoyment:
"So how have you considered it?"
Ye Xiaojing was slightly startled, and then her pretty face blushed: "What's going on..."
"You promised to accompany me home to meet my parents. You promised me last night, and you played amnesia with me?"
Ye Xiaojing blinked in surprise: Does the joke between the bed curtains count?
Jiang Qian seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and said in a calm tone: "You are not joking."
