Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 326 67. Got promoted again! (6000 words!)_4

"With all the high praise from the Council Members this time, adding another burden on him... becoming the deputy chief of a department, well, that's actually feasible..."

As she said this, Qingping paused before continuing, "Of course, the premise is that he has done well in his own department in addition to solving cases."

This time, the Director nodded, "A sensible suggestion."

"Then let's notify them."

At this point, she paused, looked at the girl holding the books, and asked, "Yi, I remember, a department deputy chief has the authority to obtain an Awakening Ability from the Security Bureau's treasury, right?"

The girl nodded and said in a crisp tone, "Yes, Director."

The Director hummed in acknowledgment, "Then it's settled."

After speaking, she stood up and was the first to leave the conference room.

After she left, the gray-haired old man chuckled twice and then slowly rose from his chair. Shaking his head, he shakily made his way out of the conference room.

After the old man left, the girl with the books nodded at Qingping and the man with the explosive hair and then stood up to leave as well.

The conference room was suddenly left with only Qingping and the man with the explosive hair.

The man with the explosive hair watched the three leaving, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled before saying to Qingping, "You're too impatient..."

"She's found your weakness and will continue to exploit it."

"Thirdly, don't underestimate your concession. She is building momentum and crafting a Golden Body for Fang Ze."

"The Neutral Faction just praised Fang Ze; now we're also offering him a promotion."

"With Fang Ze's own noble faction as well, all three major factions are backing him. If his strength and capabilities keep up, he'll be the next Gu Qing, or even receive more support than Gu Qing obtained!"

"The noble faction has been weak these past years; it's been so long since it produced such a talent, hasn't it?"

"Additionally, don't forget, Jiang Cheng is still making preparations to deal with Fang Ze. With this Golden Body established, will Jiang Cheng back down?"

With that, the man with the explosive hair slightly shook his head, "You're... still not seeing the big picture."

After speaking, he lightly patted Qingping's shoulder, sighed, and then left the conference room.

Qingping stood there in the conference room, speechless for a long time...

Meanwhile, less than half an hour after the Director's conference ended, an official circular carrying the Council Members' endorsements and the content discussed at the Director's meeting reached the Security Bureau of Emerald City...

The more I wrote, the longer it got, so it's a bit late at 6000+ words.

My health is almost back to normal, so I should be able to return to updating 10,000 words by tomorrow. I'll tentatively set it for around 10 pm tomorrow night, haha.
