Chapter Summary
After Liu Ning introduced himself to everyone, he explained his situation: "Although you were assigned to me, I don't need you at all. Whether you're there to protect me or serve me, I don't need you following me around every day." As they were speaking, they felt a gust of wind in front of them, and Liu Ning had disappeared. Anyway, the garrison has plenty of money; even if we keep you guys around for free, it won't cost much." They had all paid for their positions, and now that they couldn't s...
"Then I'm very grateful to you. I wasn't able to help much with the previous matter. You know my personality. If I could help, I would definitely help more. But the situation is what it is now, and there are some things I can't say. I'll thank you more in the future. If you have time in the future, you can come to the capital and we can have a drink. Perhaps by then I won't be able to sit with you. You've become a guest of honor of all the major families. Compared to you, I'm far inferior. I'm aware of this. If I don't even understand this, then I really don't know what to say in the future. Some things are like this. You rise to prominence in a very short time, while I sink like a star. Perhaps I'm not even a star."
As the Lord of the Prefecture spoke, his eyes held a look of utter uncertainty. He truly didn't know how to proceed from there. Going from a powerful and influential figure to a cautious one, the Lord of the Prefecture was deeply saddened. Given the current situation, entering such a large office building again seemed unlikely. As for those around him, since Liu Ning's arrests implicated too many people, they didn't need to be bothered with. Their mistakes were their own fault and had nothing to do with the Prefecture, so this was perhaps the best outcome. As for other matters, the Lord of the Prefecture was truly beyond his control.
Every hero's journey ends like this. Speaking of this city lord, Liu Ning knew of his past glory. Leaving aside other matters, just consider this: to protect the city, this lord led several battles. Although most of these battles were fought under the command of Old Master Wang, it must be said that this city lord was, after all, the most powerful leader in the entire city. Without his help, many things would not have been possible. Old Master Wang's contributions are undeniable, but his contributions cannot be ignored. Liu Ning slowly stood up and watched the city lord slowly leave from behind. This was the best respect for the previous leader. At this moment, the fall of a powerful figure is the most realistic saying; everyone has to go through this stage.
It was obvious that the father and son had coordinated beforehand. After the Lord of the Prefecture left, Zhou Tianhua came in from outside. The Lord of the Prefecture's visit was to pave the way for her. The rest depended on how the son handled things. Liu Ning smiled when he saw this guy, but Zhu Tianhua wasn't feeling so good inside. To be honest, he used to be the second young master of this city. No matter what he did wrong, he had to give his father some face. Even if others wanted to hold a grudge against him, they would let it go because of his father. But unfortunately, that's no longer the case. He went from a nobody to the administrative director of the West District, which can be said to be a meteoric rise, but the resources he controlled were not as many or as abundant as before.
To be honest, this guy also wanted his father to stay here, but are some things you can decide? Of course not. Even if you have that thought, you still have to see if others will let you stay. Zhu Tianhua thought that if his father could continue in his position for a few more years, he could rise faster. But then again, if your father doesn't allow you to stay in this position, how could Zhao Wudi and the others possibly let you take it? How would you get promoted then? So, everyone has their own place. If you want to gain power, you have to get the people above you to move first, so that everyone can have a good position and share the pie. Trying to eat it all yourself has no future.
Liu Ning didn't say much to the guy and walked out of the office building. The conversation had left him feeling very depressed. He wondered what his future would hold, and whether he would end up like that. Everyone who sees an elderly person thinks about what they will be like when they are old. Liu Ning felt an unusual sense of oppression. As he walked out of the building, he saw a small group of people at the entrance, all bowing to him. These were Liu Ning's entourage. Liu Ning was no longer the same person he used to be, so his entourage had increased to 500. This was understandable; after all, he was now the third-highest-ranking official in the city. Even if he didn't need these people, he still had to provide them with the best possible support.
The induction ceremony would have to wait a while, but things like benefits could be arranged immediately. Liu Ning used to be a city councilor, and although he was one of the city's bigwigs, he was still far behind now. When Liu Ning saw these people, he felt his temples throbbing. Although the number of people would decrease later, if he had to bring a large group of people with him for everything, Liu Ning might as well resign. It was a very sad thing. What privacy would a person have then? Liu Ning had never seen Zhao Wudi bring so many people before, so Liu Ning had his own thoughts. After nodding to these people, Liu Ning also started to get to know his subordinates. After that, he had to let them do what they were supposed to do.
After Liu Ning introduced himself to everyone, he explained his situation: "Although you were assigned to me, I don't need you at all. Whether you're there to protect me or serve me, I don't need you following me around every day." As they were speaking, they felt a gust of wind in front of them, and Liu Ning had disappeared. Everyone received a message on their smart devices: "We'll contact you when we need you, and when we don't, you can stay in your offices. Anyway, the garrison has plenty of money; even if we keep you guys around for free, it won't cost much." They had all paid for their positions, and now that they couldn't see Liu Ning every day, some of them started to have ideas.
