Chapter Summary
For this guy, life might not be very comfortable now, but it's definitely not as scheming and backstabbing as before. Let alone someone as successful as you, even those old subordinates I promoted who came to the capital on business would not be willing to come here. Liu Ning knows this guy has two sons, but the eldest son rarely comes, mainly because he can't offer any help.
Who is Liu Ning going to visit this time? This person is an old acquaintance of Liu Ning's. He holds a position that is neither too urgent nor too slow in the process, which is quite a good thing for him. This person used to be the governor of Liu Ning's city, that is, the former city lord. But now it is obviously inappropriate to use this title, because he is no longer the city lord. Since leaving that city and coming to the capital.
He landed a position as the director of some committee, which is a pretty good retirement job. Although he doesn't have as much power as before, he's doing quite well here. For this guy, life might not be very comfortable now, but it's definitely not as scheming and backstabbing as before. Back then, he had two god-level subordinates, but he dismissed them long ago. What's the point of keeping them around?
Although he is only a War God-level expert, he is still very capable in this society. It's better not to do too much. Just give him freedom. Let the sky be the limit. The main thing is that he doesn't want to stay by his side anymore, which means he has found a better place. So in this respect, this old gentleman did a very good job. Many people, even after retiring, will still hold on to the agreement in their hands.
The old man forbade his subordinates from going to other places. If they did, it would be considered disrespectful. Because of this, no one would come to their rescue after such incidents. The old man understood this very well. Rather than leaving behind such a contract, it was better to let these people leave earlier. When he was the city lord, they followed him for a better life. Why should they follow him now?
Following you, they no longer have their original lives. The most frustrating thing is that they can't get any promotions. If they could get promoted, that would be a great thing. They wouldn't leave even if you asked them to. Everyone can see the current situation clearly. Since we can't guarantee their promotion channels or give them enough good things, we should just give them freedom.
This was a good thing for everyone, so under these circumstances, the city lord released his subordinates, thus fulfilling the bond between the three brothers. Back when the three brothers were all insignificant, they still managed to get by together, and life was quite good for them. But now things were completely different. If they were to forcibly keep them, then they would be in the wrong. So everyone understood this very clearly, and when doing similar things, they all knew what they were doing.
When the car stopped outside, the city lord was already waiting downstairs. Liu Ning had made an appointment beforehand. After all, when visiting someone's home, one should at least show some respect; one can't just show up casually. The city lord hadn't expected Liu Ning to return, so he was genuinely surprised. You see, Liu Ning isn't an ordinary person now, and he wouldn't easily visit someone. For Liu Ning to come to your door is a great honor. After arriving in the capital, he visited the Second Speaker's place.
No one else went to his home, so Liu Ning's presence here was a great honor. Regardless of what you're thinking, I've done a good job. If you don't take me seriously, that's your own problem. Earlier, when Liu Ning encountered difficulties, especially during his battle with the young master of the Niu family, the fact that someone supported him was already quite remarkable. At that time, the city lord stood by Liu Ning's side, which deeply moved him.
However, on the other hand, Liu Ning is now the vice president of the Mage Guild, much more powerful than before. Everyone envies the old man's investment acumen, because he really made the right investment.
"I didn't expect you to still do things the same way as back then. To be honest, I never thought you would come to visit an old man like me. Let alone someone as successful as you, even those old subordinates I promoted who came to the capital on business would not be willing to come here. It's not that there's anything wrong with my place, it's just that there's absolutely no need for it. People in today's society are very pragmatic. I am really happy that you came here. This is absolutely true, without any falsehood, it comes from the bottom of my heart."
Zhu Hecheng said helplessly, "This guy had a glorious period, but I didn't expect him to end up as some kind of director here. For him, the position doesn't matter, but this kind of life is not what he wanted. However, he has entered the final stage of his life and can no longer continue to work in Chengdu. If he wants to continue working in Chengdu..."
He needs to break through, but unfortunately, he can't. In this state, he can only accept his fate. As for the final outcome, it depends on the rate of his degeneration. Most people at his age would be looking at how fast they degenerate. If the degeneration is too fast, he probably won't be given the position of director. In the end, he'll just be given a house and have to wait to grow old. Of course, this guy won't end up like that.
He has plenty of money and could live a comfortable life, but his rights as a person are gone forever. Apart from his own family, no one else will come. Liu Ning knows this guy has two sons, but the eldest son rarely comes, mainly because he can't offer any help. He quit his job to work with Liu Ning, which shows he has a conscience. Once Liu Ning comes, that guy will be even more eager to come. Everyone knows Liu Ning is a sentimental person, so in this situation, they will definitely try to flatter him. If he loses even this opportunity, it means he will have no chance of promotion in the future, and no one will care about him.
