Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 550: 215, goodbye Zhang Yihua_1

A huge opportunity?

The man known as Chen chuckled bitterly and shook his head, “Better not, the fewer immortals like these we encounter, the better.”

“If they stir up some trouble again, I’m afraid it will only be our bad luck.”

“You’re all up there, not knowing how difficult the work is down here!”

“Ah…”

He sighed heavily, and from his expression, one could see his obvious exhaustion.

…

Third-rate actors belong on stage, while the first-rate ones are all in the officialdom.

With his current status, he couldn’t possibly handle most things personally; more often, he would delegate tasks and then wait quietly for the outcome.

So even if Chen Shanhe and Lin Mo made a big fuss, it wouldn’t wear him out.

They had not walked far when they boarded an official Coaster minibus parked by the roadside.

Everyone settled in, and Liu Limin looked at the man sitting next to him and said, “Chen, that’s where you’re wrong, whether up there or down here, aren’t we all serving the people just the same?”

“Recalling the past, you were an indefatigable tiger general. Wherever you were placed, results would follow.”

“Now that you’re nearly retired, you have to stand your last watch well, fulfill the heavy responsibility the people have entrusted to you, and not let down Grand Xia’s high expectations for you.”

“Don’t you think?”

With all the pressure now squarely on him, of course, Chen did not dare say much, merely nodding helplessly, “One minute on duty, standing a full 60 seconds, I’ve got that much awareness and can withstand any test.”

“Enough of this disheartening talk. It’s rare for you to visit, so as a token of my hospitality, let’s have a meal together tonight. I’ve got a few bottles of Maotai with iron caps left, a special preserve from our elder during these times. Later on, we’ll each take a bottle for ourselves.”

The two had a reasonably good personal relationship, so their conversation was less official.

In the past, whenever Liu Limin visited Rakshasa, he would indeed meet with him to catch up, discuss the latest political situation, or simply to unwind both physically and mentally.

Although they didn’t do any physical labor, they were mentally tense every day, which was actually quite exhausting.

However, this time the situation was too urgent. The higher-ups were waiting for Liu Limin’s report, and messing this up would be difficult to explain.

Perhaps if someone up there got unhappy, the accomplishment of his half-lifetime might come to an end, and he might gradually be relegated to managing a different city.

This was not the outcome he wanted to see.

After all, Liu Limin was still young. Although his position was already lofty, the potential for advancement was not particularly great, but that did not deter him from striving for it.

Should he rise to new heights, it would indeed be an ascent to the heavens for him and all his associates.

Liu Limin could distinguish between the urgent and the important. He smiled and said, “Let’s skip the drinking. I’m tied up with official duties, and people are waiting for my report. It’s best we focus on the work at hand.”

“How long will it take us to get to the city bureau?”

Hmm?

Is this the pace of interrogating Lin Mo overnight?

Everyone in the car was slightly taken aback, none of them expecting Liu Limin to take such decisive action.

It did not fit his usual character.

However, this also indirectly showed that Lin Mo’s voluntary surrender had indeed caused a significant disturbance, even making those above nervous.

That was better,

sparing them the trouble of entertaining the visitors, saving quite a bit of hassle.

With that thought in mind, Chen sighed and said, “You and I are really bound by our duties, utterly beyond our own control.”

“I was looking forward to catching up properly this time we met, but it seems that will have to wait for another day. But it’s just as well, handing Lin Mo over to you sooner will let me rest easy.”

“To be completely honest, whether Lin Mo represents an opportunity or not, I no longer want to touch this ticking time bomb.”

After speaking, he turned to a man seated in the back and said, “Tell the driver, we’re heading to the city bureau.”

The middle-aged man nodded, stood up, and hurried toward the driver.

After the staff member left, Chen added, “We’re not too far from the city bureau, it’s about half an hour’s drive.”

“You might want to rest a while; if you’re too worn out from traveling, I’m afraid you won’t hold up.”

Without waiting for Liu Limin to respond, Chen turned to the chief secretary and said, “Give Elder Liu a glass of water, and take him to the back to rest for a while.”

The Coaster they were in was an extended version, approximately the length of an ordinary bus, not just accommodating many people, but also thoughtfully equipped with two beds at the rear, specifically for leaders to rest during long trips.

A person who could become a chief secretary, of course, had extraordinary capabilities. He stood up and said, “Elder Liu, please follow me.”

“The conditions on the bus are a bit poor, please bear with it.”

Indeed, traveling by plane could be very draining, having to sit in cramped seats for several, or even over a dozen, hours, while also enduring the constant noise from airplane engines could be particularly uncomfortable.

But since Liu Limin flew on an official plane, although the conditions were not as extravagant as those of a wealthy private jet, it still had all the necessary amenities.

So he had gotten ample rest on the plane and wasn’t too tired now.

Nevertheless, Liu Limin did not refuse Chen’s kindness, and stood up to follow the chief secretary to the rear of the Coaster.

If there was an opportunity to rest, he would take it.

He knew that once he saw Lin Mo, he would face a tough battle.

….

Meanwhile, at another location.
