Laughing at Chang'an

On the way down the mountain, the awakened Yang Huxing proposed to have breakfast together, but Li Shen and Feng He Qiqi refused.Don't say that the spirit can't hold on, after sitting opposite each other all night, now seeing each other's faces makes me upset.

So each went back to each house, each looking for each mother.

When Li Shen returned to the door of the house, his eyes were a little blurred.Wang Zhen didn't get any better, he followed behind listlessly with his head down, trying to bump into the door frame every minute.Fortunately, Li Shen saw it and stretched out his hand to cushion it, so that he didn't get a bump on his head.

"Be careful yourself." Li Shen reminded him, he raised his foot and stepped into the threshold, before the soles of his feet touched the ground, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.He subconsciously leaned back, half-opened his eyes and looked at the adjutant wrapped in a blanket with only his head exposed, blinking in confusion.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

The adjutant sniffed, holding the blanket with a pitiful look, and said aggrievedly, "I've been waiting for you here all night." He leaned over and sniffed at Li Shen, and asked in surprise, "Have you been drinking?"

Li Shen nodded, his face was a little tired, he walked past him, his mind was so dizzy, he just wanted to have a good sleep.The adjutant Xiaobu followed behind, hesitantly said: "Master, Li Xifeng called and asked you to attend today's regular meeting no matter what..."

The fifth day of every ten days is the regular meeting day of Geng Army cadres.Li Shen stopped, supported the wall next to him with one hand, and wiped his face helplessly with the other.He took a deep breath, turned around and walked out, stopped in two steps, turned to ask the adjutant, "What time does it start?"

The adjutant looked at his watch and replied: "Ten o'clock, there is still an hour and 20 minutes left, you still have time to take a shower and change clothes."

"Yeah." Li Shen nodded and ordered, "Bring me another bowl of porridge."

With a bowl of porridge in my stomach, I finally regained some energy.There was still some time before going out, Li Shen walked into the porter's room, and saw the boy lying on his side on the bed with a peaceful expression, as if he was fast asleep.

He sat down on the chair beside the bed and watched in silence for a while.

Wang Zhen had a restrained temperament, it was difficult to tell what was going on in his heart from the outside, and Li Shen had no intention of exploring it.He brought people back, probably on impulse, without thinking too much.But there are some things that need to be clarified.

He reached out to pat him awake.

Wang Zhen opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Li Shen, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was about to sit up.Li Shen pushed him back, let go of his hand, and said, "I didn't intend to let you join the Geng Army."

The boy lay on the bed, his expression blank for a moment.

"I will offer you to enter the altar and help you avoid all troubles during this period. You only need to promise me one thing." Li Shendao, his tone was flat, "Don't betray Yang Huxing. People from the Martian Group, can they do it?"

The boy's eyes widened silently, the two simple "this life" were heavy beyond description.He stared blankly at Li Shen, who was sitting by the bed, who was waiting for his answer. Perhaps it was because of playing cards all night and drinking, his eyes and brows were filled with tiredness, not as cold and cruel as usual. People appear peaceful and indifferent.

But Li Shen like this made the boy's scalp numb and his hands and feet cold.

The small concierge smelled of stale furniture that had been vacant for a long time. The only small window was covered with a layer of stubborn dirt, which prevented the light from outside from entering. It looked dark and depressing.

The boy slowly opened his mouth and answered a good word.

He knew that after he uttered this word, there would be no room for repentance, and he would be tied to Yang Huxing and the Huxing group for the rest of his life, sharing the ups and downs.Opening your mouth is a lifetime, until death.

Li Shen stood up.

"Go to sleep."

He whispered, turned and left.

………………

At 53:33, Li Shen stepped into the building of the Gengjun Guild Hall and took the elevator to the conference room on the [-]rd floor.He opened the door and walked in. The ten-meter-long table was already full of people. The Geng Army was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more departments below. People are always changing.

Li Shen stood at the door and glanced roughly, and found that there were a few new faces that he hadn't seen before.He stepped forward, walked straight to the first person on the right, pulled out the chair and sat down.Gong Yun, who was sitting across from him, greeted him with a smile, but beside the two of them, the head seat at the conference table was still empty.

At exactly ten o'clock, Geng Yan appeared at the door, and the conference room was suddenly quiet.

Li Shen sat with his arms folded and his head bowed, looking at his nose and heart. When someone sat down beside him, he slightly raised his head and took a look sideways.Geng Yan is wearing a dark gray wool coat today, with a high collar covering half of his chin, making the long golden hair hanging down his shoulders even more dazzling.He took out a pair of glasses from his breast pocket, put them on the bridge of his nose, and began to read the meeting materials on the table.Everyone looked at him quietly. The information mainly included the recent general reports and agenda items of various departments. After Geng Yan read it, he would point out what he thought was problematic.

Geng Yan's eyes blurred when looking at nearby objects. It was an old injury from his early battles. Now that medicine is so advanced, it is not difficult to cure it, but he refused to treat it, and he refused to give reasons.Li Shen really likes the way he wears glasses, it looks much gentler, and his heart can bounce more lively when he is scolded.

"Zhang Puqiu, have you spent the [-] million allocated last time?"

The first person to be named was Geng Army's most valuable living treasure, the head of the development department, Zhang Puqiu, Great Technician Zhang.Without Master Zhang, there would be no top-level war armor on them today. Master Zhang is the heavenly king of their group of fighters. When Master Zhang encounters a problem, they, who are favored by others, will naturally help them out, so Li Shen took a sip Cha moistened his throat and prepared to speak.

"Well, the development of Killing God has encountered a bottleneck, and more experiments are needed to find a breakthrough direction. Five hundred million is too little, and at least two billion is needed."

Li Shen took a sip of tea and got stuck in his throat. Master Zhang, you opened your mouth too big, two billion, you can buy a small country to be the emperor.As soon as the conversation on the other side fell, Murong Lin, who was in charge of finance, had already slapped the table, stood up, pointed at his nose and began to curse.

"I'm begging you to be a loser. You think the money is blown by the wind? It's 20 billion when you open your mouth. It's not worth the money if you sell you! Let me tell you, at most another billion, more than one billion you guys The development department will all go to sleep on the street for me!!!”

One Zhang Puqiu, one Murong Lin, offending either one is a tragedy.Li Shen silently returned to the posture of folding his arms and bowing his head, watching the play peacefully.There is a concept here that needs to be explained. Whether it is 20 million or [-] million, it refers to Penglai coins, and the exchange rate between Penglai coins and Datang coins is one to ten.The Geng Army’s current income for the entire quarter, which is about [-] billion Penglai coins, is at most half of the remaining cost after deducting the most basic costs of maintaining the team’s operations. Routine expenses such as maintenance fees for equipment and facilities are calculated at zero and zero, and the real income is not high.

After all, there is no foundation and everything starts from scratch, and the sequelae of rapid expansion can be seen here. Most of the branches that have spread out can only barely support themselves, and occasionally need blood transfusions from the headquarters. Monster, the Geng Army still has a long way to go.

Li Shen's eyelids drooped unknowingly, and the surrounding sounds gradually faded away, turning into subtle rustling sounds.He folded his arms, lowered his head, and fell asleep sitting like that.

Geng Yan glanced at this scene, a helpless smile overflowed from his lips, and it disappeared in a flash.

In the second half of the meeting, Geng Liancheng proposed to build a trump card team that was even more elite than the original three elite teams.As we all know, the three elite squads were all the direct descendants cultivated by Li Shen, and he was openly challenging Li Shen.

"Members should be selected from young people, and they should focus on cultivating their loyalty and sense of honor. This is the key. In addition to personal potential and aspirations, I have taken a fancy to a person, whose name is Wang Zhen. If he really If he can enter the mind with a knife, then I want to personally confirm his character."

While talking, Geng Liancheng turned his head to look at Li Shen. That's right, he was sitting under Li Shen. Of course, he knew exactly what Li Shen was doing.Everyone followed his gaze and looked over. Li Xifeng, who was sitting in the third place from the left on the opposite side, coughed dryly twice. He wanted to remind him but couldn't do it. He could only frown and admire Li Shen's peaceful sleeping posture with everyone.

To tell you the truth, it's pretty pretty... When Li Shen didn't open his eyes and didn't speak, there was really nothing wrong with that face.

But the problem is that this is a meeting.

Everyone looked at Li Shen, and then they all looked at Geng Yan who was sitting in the main seat, wanting to see his reaction.

Geng Yan took off his glasses, stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brows, and raised his head.

"I agree with the establishment of a new team, but the selection of candidates must be prudent. There is no rush for this matter, and we should do it step by step." He said to Geng Liancheng, without mentioning Wang Zhen or Li Shen, and his attitude should not be more obvious, "You start first. Make a list for me, and your complete plan for this team, and we will talk about it later."

Geng Liancheng nodded expressionlessly.

The commander-in-chief indulged Li Shen too much... This was the voice of many people present.It's not that they feel that Geng Yan is biased, this kind of dissatisfaction is mainly concentrated on Li Shen.Many of the cadres sitting here are newcomers who have not experienced the most difficult period in the early days of the Geng Army, and they have no friendship with Li Shen.When they came, the Geng Army had entered the era of rapid expansion, and brains were more important than fists, and Li Shen no longer needed to fight to the death all day long, but used his reputation and combat power more as a deterrent existence.

So in their eyes, Li Shen, most of the time, has nothing to do, and his subordinates do it when he has something to do, nothing to do...cough.The topic is far away. In short, compared to Geng Liancheng, who is serious and diligent in his work, Li Shen, a combat director who is always indifferent all day long, is really not qualified.

A regular meeting lasted for nearly two hours, Geng Yan ordered the meeting to end, and when the people finished walking, he got up and locked the door, returned to his seat and sat down.

He quietly looked at Li Shen's sleeping face.

Li Shen's arms were already hanging down on the chair, his head was slightly tilted to the left, and a lock of hair that was loosely scattered behind his head fell down in front of his face.Geng Yan's eyes slowly descended, stopping at the open collar of the shirt, the deep collarbone sinking into the collar, as if it contained some kind of magical power, making people unable to bear the desire to touch it.

He stretched out his hand.

Want to strangle that neck.
