Chen Chuan followed the secretary to the office of the civil affairs director. Director Zhu was waiting there. When he saw him come in, he smiled and greeted him, "Director Chen, please take a seat."

He asked his secretary to bring out his treasured tea. After he sat down, he said, "Manager Chen, it's been two years, hasn't it?" He said with emotion, "I still remember the time when I invited you here. I had just taken office not long ago. Time flies."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Yang Zhi is much better than two years ago."

Zhu Xian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I, as the head of the Civil Affairs Department, got a bargain. You cleaned up the house for me and let me move in. If the Molan Company was still there, could I do better than my predecessor?"

He said with certainty: "It's just that it's hard to realize one's ambitions and display one's talents. It's like an actor on a stage. If the stage is not built or built well, then there will be no good performance."

He looked at Chen Chuan and said with a smile: "I have read the original case files. You, Director Chen, were involved in the destruction of Molan Company. It is not an exaggeration to say that you fired the first shot. So others think that you are promoted too quickly, but I think this is very suitable. Dashun needs capable young people like you.

What we can do is to pave the way for you and help you make the road ahead solid and without any edges, so that you can move faster. "

Chen Chuanshuo said: "If it's too flat, I'm afraid I won't be able to appreciate the hardships of our predecessors."

Zhu Xian said with a smile, "Manager Chen is right. If jade is not polished, it will be hard to make it into a useful object. Come, have some tea. This is the Yunge tea I brought from my hometown. Whenever there is a knocking sound from the mountains, it is the best time to pick the tea. At that time, there will be tea pickers singing folk songs while climbing the cliffs in the clouds. I have been out for so many years, and I haven't seen such a scene for a long time."

As he spoke, he patted the armrest and chanted: "The stream hits the rocks, the Zen spirit lingers in the evening forest, the stranger leans against the pine tree and listens, it turns out to be the sound in the clouds."

Chen Chuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea that Zhu Zhengzhang brought out this time was indeed good tea. It was fragrant and sweet, and it made people salivate with a long aftertaste.

After Zhu Xian took a sip, his expression revealed a look of reminiscence, "Speaking of which, when I was young, I was full of passion, fearless, and reckless. At that time, I did a lot of things and offended a lot of people. I was always complained by my colleagues, and my superiors rarely treated me well."

He suddenly laughed and said, "A colleague made a joke to me, saying that I had a lot of scratches on my forehead, but the direction was wrong, not upwards, but downwards.

I was very unconvinced at that time, so I wasted many years, watching many people who were not as good as me get promoted step by step. Looking back now, it is still hard to describe the feeling. Many times, it is not possible to get promoted just by having outstanding abilities. You also need someone to appreciate you, someone to support you, and someone to help you.

There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. "

He said in a deep voice: "If no one supports you, no matter how many abilities and talents you have, it will be difficult to display them."

Chen Chuan said: "Zhu Zhengzhang thinks those people can help me?"

Zhu Xian looked at him and said, "Manager Chen, I watched you walk out of here. I want to say a few sincere words to you. I don't know whether those people can help you or not. In this world, there is no such thing as giving without asking for benefits. If they want to give you benefits, they must get more in return from you.

If you refuse this time and they ignore you from now on, that might be a good thing. The scary thing is that they will target you. Many people cannot accomplish anything, but they are good at doing bad things, so you have to be careful."

Chen Chuan nodded, took another sip of tea, put the cup aside, stood up and said, "Thank you, Chief Zhu, for talking to me. I understand what you mean. Thank you for inviting me to tea. I think I should leave now."

Zhu Xian stood up with a smile, "Manager Chen, take care." He then asked his secretary, "Please see Manager Chen off for me."

Chen Chuan nodded to him and walked out. Zhu Xian watched him leave, then returned to his desk, put on his glasses, and continued to read the documents on the case.

After a while, the secretary came in and said, "Director, the person has been sent away."

Zhu Xian didn't look up, he just said, "I know."

The secretary hesitated, came closer, and whispered, "The Chief is optimistic about Director Chen? But those people may be members of the Central City Council."

Zhu Xian wrote a reply on the document, then took off his glasses and said, "You, what kind of world is this now? Fighters are being promoted everywhere, and fighters who master martial arts have never been valued as much as they are now. This shows that this is the general trend, and of course we must follow the trend.

Central City Council? Even if a capable person like Director Chen has setbacks, he won't be like this forever. Once the opportunity comes, he will soar to the sky. How can we really hold him back? There's no harm in making friends with him."

The secretary suddenly realized it, and he showed admiration, "The Minister is indeed thoughtful."

After Chen Chuan left the Government Affairs Office, he asked the motorcade to take him back to the family quarters. As it was already afternoon, Instructor Wen should be at the Police Station, so he did not rush to disturb him. Instead, after returning home, he took the opportunity to call his acquaintances and old classmates and made an appointment to meet up after a while.

Then I did some simple daily practice to maintain my condition.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, he guessed that Instructor Wen should have been back for a while, so he went to the telephone booth outside and made a call. When the call was connected, he said, "Instructor Wen, it's me."

After a pause, he said, "Instructor, Kenwa has been dealt with." Instructor Wen was a little surprised. He could have anticipated that this investigation would not be difficult for Chen Chuan, but he still did not expect the action to be so fast. It had only been less than two days, right?
He responded, "Manager Chen, I'll call Mr. Zhuan right now, but Mr. Zhuan may be busy and may not be able to get here in time. I'll notify you when he arrives."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'd better come over. It's not good to keep Mr. Zhuan waiting for me. Besides, I have some questions I want to ask Instructor Wen."

Instructor Wen smiled and said, "Okay, then Supervisor Chen, you come over first."

Chen Chuan put down the phone, changed his clothes, took some things he had searched from Kenwa, and then went out.

In less than ten minutes, he arrived at Instructor Wen's place. After being welcomed in, Instructor Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuan lives in a hotel not far from here. I just called him and told him. We just need to wait. He will come over eventually."

Chen Chuan nodded. After he sat down in the living room, he said, "Instructor Wen, someone from the Jingxiu Sect wants to see me today."

"The Refined Sect..."

Mr. Wen was a little surprised. He thought for a moment before saying, "It's not surprising that other schools have noticed a talented and outstanding young man like you, Director Chen. But I came all the way to Yangzhi City to find Director Chen. It should be the instruction of the upper echelons of the Jingxiu School.

But you can rest assured, the schools have an agreement with each other. As long as you join the Pure School, they will not bother you anymore. Even if there is trouble, the school will help you solve it. "

Chen Chuanshuo: "Does Instructor Wen know about this Jingxiu faction?"

Instructor Wen said: "The Jingxiu School is the same as our Pure School. It is also a fighting school that has been passed down from the old times. This school has a greater influence among the middle and upper classes.

In the old days, this school would select talented children from high-ranking officials and nobles for training and teaching, and this tradition lasted throughout several old dynasties.

They left behind a lot of heritage and influence, and their foundation is very deep. However, in the old dynasties, although the imperial family used them, they were also very wary of them. Therefore, in every dynasty, while winning them over, they also continued to suppress and weaken them.

In the new era, the Jingxiu School still follows the upper-class and elite route, has extensive connections in the government and companies, and has formed a huge network of interests with the help of the school.

The intensive practice sects often recruit people with potential as supplements, absorb them into their own ranks, and let them work for them.

They come to recruit you probably because they want you to become their peripheral vassal and their pawn.

Because up to now, what determines the status of members of the Jingxiu School within the school is not their strength, but their origin and status. Only those with high enough status can get more favor and teaching, and only a very small number will be accepted through marriage.

Don’t underestimate their martial arts ability because they are willing to invest resources in truly talented people, and many fighters in the school are very powerful.”

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "From what Instructor Wen said, it seems that this school has always been dependent on power since ancient times?" If that were the case, then it would actually be a very traditional approach for fighting schools.

Instructor Wen said: "This is what they showed, but this is probably just their superficial purpose. They should have deeper pursuits, but I don't know that."

Chen Chuan asked again: "Is there any conflict between the Jingxiu School and the Pure School?"

Instructor Wen smiled and said, “As long as we don’t collude with the other side or are not infected by the other side’s power, then the schools can cooperate.

The big collision is imminent. Although friction and contradictions between schools have always existed, and confrontation is inevitable due to ideological issues, it is also a consensus among all parties from top to bottom that major internal conflicts are not allowed to occur.

Chen Chuan understood, and then he asked some questions about the various schools. Instructor Wen was very patient and explained them one by one, allowing him to have a more preliminary understanding of the current situation.

Although Mr. Zhuan was late, the two of them didn't seem to be in a hurry. They drank tea and chatted until about two or three o'clock, when clear footsteps were heard on the street outside the courtyard.

Instructor Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuan is here."
