Merit Book·Xinghai

Bailiyun walked out of the restaurant angrily, and Jialiai quickly picked up the wine bottle he left on the table and followed behind.As soon as he walked out of the gate, Bailiyun's face was as if it had been brushed, the scowl disappeared, and a pleasant smile appeared instead.

The housekeeper, Jia Liai, was holding the wine bottle and said worriedly: "My lord, didn't Master Davalo ask you to make a deal with him? Will there be any bad consequences if you leave like this?"

"Haha, what are the consequences?" Bailiyun said frivolously: "She asked me to recognize this son, didn't I recognize it? She asked me to inherit the family property in exchange, didn't I agree? This son recognizes his ancestors, but didn’t I say it? It’s not that I can’t let him return to his clan, it’s just that it’s better for him now, isn’t it unreasonable? I did everything according to her request, but in the end people didn’t agree. Promise, what can I do? Can I still tie someone back and call me father?"

Speaking of this, he remembered Davalo's tone of instructing him to do this and that, and a look of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"... Ha! Recognizing the ancestors! That woman really dares to mention it! She probably thinks that everyone is a dog under her skirt, and if you give them a bone, they will lie at her feet and bark!"

"But...she has something against you..." Jia Liai said worriedly.

"Don't worry, those handles were actually prepared by me a few years ago." Bailiyun said lightly: "If the people above have something in their hands, they won't feel that they can trust you. But those handles At most, I will be temporarily dismissed from my current position, so as not to hurt my muscles and bones. In two years, they will still have to use me. If Davalo is as smart as she has always been, she will not take it easy for such a trivial matter. Using the trump card in her hand is at most a few words of warning."

"So that's how it is." Jia Liai said with admiration: "Your Excellency is really foresight and foresight. Then...this young master...does he have to be treated according to the previous ones?"

Although Bailiyun's wife is jealous and strong, she still can't control her husband's cheating.But he has a lot of illegitimate children, and none of them can be recognized. It's just that a large amount of child support is sent to him every month, and he will take care of school and work.The treatment of illegitimate daughters is also slightly worse, but they are all raised like little princesses.

When it came to this question, Bailiyun hesitated for a while, and then said: "Before the genetic test, he can't be sure that he is my son. Especially that kid is now involved in the dispute between the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Intelligence. It's better not to mess with it or not to mess with it."

"That's why my lord deliberately provoked him and let him refuse your request? It's amazing how step-by-step you are."

Jia Liai admired, but Baili Yun next to him seemed to have something on his mind, frowned and didn't speak for a while.

"My lord?" Jia Liai asked in a low voice.

Bailiyun paused, and just about to say something, his eyes moved down, and he saw the wine bottle in Jia Liai's arms, and said angrily, "Why are you still holding it? Is this wine still drinkable? Throw it away!"

"But... five thousand star coins..."

"My lord, I still need that little money? Throw it away!"

"……Yes."

As the wine bottle "clanged" and fell into the trash can next to it, Baili Yun seemed to have made up his mind, and turned to Jia Liai and said, "You can send a sum of money to Mu Zhe and his mother and son, quietly. Don't let other people know, but let them know who sent it."

"Yes." Jiali Ai responded, and then asked puzzledly: "But...didn't you just say that you wanted to draw a line with him?"

"I did intend to do so, but..." Bailiyun frowned and said, "I met him today, and I feel that this kid is better than those wastes at home. Especially when he can sneak in from the bottom without anyone to rely on." The Ministry of Supervision, whether it is luck or ability, is very good. And he seems to have an unusual relationship with Todd... Send some money to the past, and it may be useful in the future."

"Let me remind you, my lord, he refuses to recognize you as a father."

"Whether he refuses or not, as long as he inherits my genes in his body, then I am still his father, and he is still my son. When encountering things, it is easier to use than strangers."

"I see, my lord."

While talking, both of them had already got on the suspension vehicle. The driver had just started the vehicle when he heard a girl shouting, "Please wait a moment, my lord! Please wait a moment!"

Bailiyun glanced out, smiled suddenly, and said, "Stop."

He lowered the car window, just now the waiter Qianmei in the restaurant ran over panting, without wiping off the sweat from her head, she hurriedly bowed deeply, and said, "My lord, what do you do to the service of our restaurant by leaving in a hurry?" Are you dissatisfied? If... If it is because of the previous incident, please allow me to apologize to you again."

The girl's waist was bent deeply, hiding her somewhat ordinary face, and one could see a pair of slightly trembling pointed ears amidst the fluffy hair on top of her head.

Bailiyun admired the girl's graceful back for a while with great interest, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have forgiven you for what happened just now. I left suddenly because of other things, and it has nothing to do with your restaurant."

"Then...that would be great!" Qianmei straightened up and smiled with tears in her eyes: "I...I thought..."

"However..." Bailiyun said in a drawn-out voice, and when he saw the girl's expression became timid again, he laughed and said, "I really have Graman wine worth [-] star coins at home, do you want to go Would you like to try it?"

"My lord! I...I'm not the kind of girl you think!" Qianmei took a step back subconsciously, her face flushed.

"I know." Bailiyun said with a smile: "I appreciate your self-esteem and self-love, and I respect your choice. Now I just want to invite you to taste my collection. How about it? Would you like to?"

The girl bit her lip, clenched her hands into fists, tears glistened in her eyes, and her body trembled slightly.

Jia Liai next to him had already got off the car, opened the door on the other side of Bailiyun, and bowed slightly as a gesture.

The girl hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and walked into the car with her head down.She carefully sat on the snow-white soft cushion, not knowing where to put her hands and feet, but a tear fell down involuntarily.

Jia Liai sighed slightly and closed the car door.

Even though he knew the result when the girl caught up, he was still disappointed.

——Although it might be a bit rebellious to think so, Jia Liai sincerely hopes that one day a girl will appear who can categorically reject his adult's hookup, and slap him hard without hesitation!

"What are you looking at?" Davalo, who had already taken off his mask, followed Rong Yuan's gaze out of the window curiously, but couldn't find where his gaze fell.

"It's nothing." Rong Yuan turned his head to look at her and said, "I told you earlier that I'm not interested in things like life experience, and I don't want to recognize a father for myself. I appreciate it, but please don't interfere with me anymore. thing."

"Well, now I really believe that you are not interested in the property that Baili's family gave you...or, in other words, you are temporarily not interested."

Davalo twirled her fingers on the rim of the wine glass, fixed her eyes on Rong Yuan, and said with a smile: "However, people always have their own preferences. A man either loves money, or loves power, or is greedy for sex, or greedy for fame... ...you don't love money, so which one are you?"

Rong Yuan didn't answer.He lowered his eyes, with an indifference on his face that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Davalo continued: "If you are greedy for a good reputation, you can't join a department like the Ministry of Supervision; if you're lustful...you can't be so indifferent when you see me."

With a bit of sadness, she looked at Rong Yuan reproachfully and said.

"So, you want power. You want the power that everyone fears like Director Todd, am I right?"

Rong Yuan finally raised his eyes to look at her, with a blank expression on his face, unable to see whether his mood fluctuated because of Davalo's words.

Davalo secretly admired "Mu Zhe" at such a young age that he could cultivate to such a degree that his emotions and anger are completely invisible, but he was more sure of his guess.

She is not worried that Rong Yuan is Todd's person.Because she had investigated the growth process of "Mu Zhe" in detail, in the first 19 years after his birth, he never had any interaction with the Supervision Department, his performance in school was mediocre, and he was not qualified to enter the eyes of people like Todd.

After the age of 19, "Mu Zhe", like many young people full of passion and fantasy, joined an adventure team and left Leucasao. .

After wandering for eight years, "Mu Zhe" returned to Leucas Ao with nothing of his own belongings not long ago. He met Todd by chance more than half a month ago, and then joined the Supervision Department.Even if he feels gratitude, admiration, and admiration towards Todd during this period, it will not be too deep.What's more, in Leucasao, the notorious reputation of the Supervision Department will also affect his views on Todd and others. Whether it is for "justice" or for his own interests, the possibility of him betraying Todd is very high. big.

He hasn't let go yet, one is because he is afraid of Todd's power, and the other is that he hasn't seen enough benefits.As long as the price is paid enough, Davalo believes that there is no absolute loyalty.

Davalo smiled confidently, and said: "I can tell you frankly that someone has discovered that Todd has a conspiracy, and based on reliable information, he may take action in the near future. He won it! But it is not easy for a dignified chief executive to deal with it directly without enough evidence and actual rebellion. If you can use your position to collect evidence of Todd's crimes and find out about his action plan, then When Todd is imprisoned, you will be the biggest contributor. Even Lord Liuka will know your name. You don’t have to feel sorry for him. After all, you saved him back then, not because you owed him. It is reasonable to give you your life as compensation. As long as Todd is taken down, in the future... maybe you will become the new Director General of the Supervision Department."

"Me?" Rong Yuan couldn't help feeling amused, and said, "Are you insulting my IQ? A newcomer like me who has just joined the Ministry of Supervision for less than a month, even if Todd is in jail, how could he be eligible?" Become the head of the Ministry of Supervision?"

Realizing that his tone was not as loyal and fanatical to Todd as other Sijians, Davalo was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Why is it impossible? At the level of the chief executive, regardless of seniority or age. , don’t even look at ability, only look at Lord Ioka’s mind. Lord Ioka said whoever is the chief minister is the chief minister in charge of a department. You can be the chief commander of this ship, why can't you? After Todd's fall, instead of letting the dogs he cultivated take over, it's better for you...Are you right?"

Rong Yuan remained silent, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was weighing the pros and cons and the true and false.

"What's more, you also have your advantages." Davalo said softly: "If you have a family, you will have weaknesses. The people above will be more assured of your control of the Supervision Department; you have no foundation, Mr. Lika Your bestowal is your source of power, so there is no need to worry that you will betray like Todd; although this may sound uncomfortable to you, it is the truth, I believe you can understand, right? In addition, regardless of time Long or short, you have worked in the Supervision Department, and you have a certain amount of friendship with other people, which will help you integrate your work faster after taking over the Supervision Department. Thinking about it this way, who else is more suitable than you for the next job? What about the position of the general manager?"

Talking like this, no matter what Rong Yuan thinks, Davalo almost believes it.

If she hadn't known—Mapp had decided to clean up all the current chief inspectors, including their family members, afterwards.

Of course, with Bailiyun's relationship, considering that "Mu Zhe" has only joined the Supervision Department for a short time, as long as the kid in front of him is knowledgeable about current affairs, he may be able to survive, but he will only be able to eat and wait for death in his next life. Now, what kind of good thing do you want to reach the sky in one step?

After all, as before, she was directly promoted from a prostitute to the chief of the intelligence department, Ma Pu was promoted step by step to be the chief of the political department, Yin Mu was a fugitive parachuted into the chief of the military department, and Will A beggar becomes the Director General of the Ministry of Finance after a few words of conversation... Only Lord Liuka who does whatever he wants can do it.But now the one who manages Leucasao is that Mapu!

She saw the young man in front of her ponder for a moment, but still cautiously did not give an accurate reply, but said ambiguously: "I will think about it."

In Davalo's view, it was no different from him directly agreeing, so instead of persuading him further, he took a step back and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Seeing Davalo, who put on the mask again, mixed into the crowd and disappeared soon, Rong Yuan couldn't help but think of Todd's words:

"You don't need to act deliberately, just have a poker face and talk less, and the other party will naturally come up with the answer she wants. Davalo is a woman who is smart and scheming, and she likes to directly apply her ideas to others on you. Of course, she's right most of the time. But on you, she's doomed."
