Chapter 240: What an old fox...
Six towers.
A thin, white-haired old man was walking slowly towards the assembly hall accompanied by Zhao Futu, and behind them followed Yi Yu and other members of the Thirteenth Bureau.
"I haven't seen President Zhao for many years, but he is still so energetic. Unlike an ordinary person like me, I am already dying..."
The white-haired old man was slightly hunched over, and looked even smaller than the tall and strong Zhao Futu. However, there was no contempt in Zhao Futu's eyes. He smiled and said, "Director Wang is still so fond of joking . Looking at the entire federation, no one dares to look down on an ordinary person like you, President Wang."
Wang Jian, the director of Bureau Thirteen, is also the founder of Bureau Thirteen. Although he is just an untalented person, he manages the huge Bureau Thirteen in an orderly manner, and has a tendency to gradually replace the Beastmaster Association.
Maybe his combat power is zero, but in terms of means, there are probably few people in the entire federation who can beat him.
Hearing what Zhao Futu said, Wang Jian smiled and said, "It's all just a show of respect from everyone. In a few years, when I am buried, it will be useless. By then, the work of the Thirteenth Bureau will still need Chairman Zhao to take care of it."
Zhao Futu glanced at Yi Yu who was following closely behind Wang Jian and said, "President Wang has already found a successor. When the time comes, it may be our association that needs help."
"President Zhao, you are joking. With your current physical strength, it won't be a problem for you to work for a few more decades. Besides, hasn't your association found a successor?"
The two smiled at each other and walked into the assembly hall together.
The news of taking a joint exam with Bureau Thirteen had already spread to all the training members, so Bai Qiucha and others had been waiting here early. After seeing the beastmasters from Bureau Thirteen following Wang Jian in, they all became eager to fight.
Wang Jian looked around, looking at Bai Qiucha and the others who were extremely energetic, and said: "The Beastmaster Association's special training is still as full of talents as before. I'm afraid that the future legend of the Federation will come from here again."
Zhao Futu smiled and said, "No, they are still far from it..."
Looking at the two people who were constantly praising each other in business, Zhou Yan, who wanted to use this competition to regain his confidence, couldn't help himself.
"How long are these two going to keep fighting? Let's start the fight now."
Xiao Yuan smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "Wait a minute, these two are both talkative people, and none of them can stop for hours, and don't you notice that everyone is not here yet?"
Zhou Yan was stunned when he heard this, and looked around, only to find that Bai Qi was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Bai Qi? Didn't anyone notify him?"
Bai Qiucha smiled bitterly and said, "I have notified him, but he didn't answer the phone. I knocked on the dormitory door but there was no response. He must have fallen asleep."
"This guy is so undisciplined! I'm going to tear down his dormitory door and bring him over here."
Zhou Yan couldn't help but complain when she heard this. Before she could move, Lu Qing stopped her and said, "Today is just a meeting. There is no substantive assessment. There is no need to disturb him."
Hearing Lu Qing's words, Zhou Yan was immediately surprised and said, "Qing'er, are you crazy? Aren't you most annoyed with Bai Qi?"
Lu Qing pushed up her glasses and said, "I never said I had any opinion about Bai Qi. It was just a simple academic competition. Besides, Bai Qi is indeed better than me."
When Lu Qing said this, not only Zhou Yan, but also Xiao Yuan, Li Mu and others who knew Lu Qing well were a little surprised.
Is this still the Lu Qing who thinks everyone is a poor student?
"Well, Qing'er, why don't you just be the same as before? I'm not used to you being so modest."
Zhou Yan was obviously not used to it when he saw Lu Qing's calm expression without any reluctance. Lu Qing did not intend to answer at all and turned her head to read the book.
After witnessing Bai Qi's many research results with her own eyes, she has completely understood the gap between herself and Bai Qi, and also realized how naive her attitude towards Bai Qi was at the beginning.
When faced with people who are better than you, the best thing to do is to keep chasing them.
So, after Bai Qi left that day, Lu Qing sent an apology message through the badge, but for some reason, Bai Qi did not reply.
Seeing Lu Qing like this, Zhou Yan seemed to understand something. Thinking of how he had become autistic after being beaten by Bai Qi, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Just lose, she is not the only one who lost, she can just win it back later.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan immediately regained his previous fighting enthusiasm, and even planned to challenge Bai Qi directly as soon as he saw Bai Qi appear.
At this moment, Wang Jian seemed to finally remember Bai Qi, the young man that Yi Yu had always mentioned. He looked around and said, "Why don't I see Bai Qi? I should thank him for finding the Black Sky Mecha. The Thirteenth Bureau benefited ."
Zhao Futu shook his head and said, "Director Wang, you are too polite. Bai Qi should still be sleeping now. Young people always have irregular living habits."
"That's right. Young people nowadays are full of energy. Once they are busy, they don't know how to rest. It's normal to oversleep occasionally."
As soon as these two leaders said this, all the beastmasters from Bureau Thirteen and the Association fell silent.
Two big guys, are you sure you don't feel guilty about saying this? Who made the rule that we should be on time for various activities? Wasn't it you?
"The director is too biased. Last time I was late for two seconds and had my half-month allowance deducted. But now that I'm here with Bai Qi, it's normal?"
Seeing Wang Jian's nonchalant look, Tang Miao couldn't help but pout. Wang Huai smiled bitterly and comforted him, "That's normal. If you could be as troublesome as Bai Qi, the director probably wouldn't care about you."
"Then forget it."
Tang Miao couldn't help but stick out his tongue when he heard that, and said, "I can't research these three core patents even if you kill me."
Bang!
At this moment, the door of the assembly hall suddenly opened. Everyone looked and found that it was Bai Qi who came.
"This guy really just woke up."
Looking at Bai Qi's sleepy face, the young Beast Tamers from both the Association and Bureau Thirteen were speechless.
After all, this is a large-scale exchange activity between outstanding beastmasters from two major departments. Could you please be a little more serious about this?
However, it was obvious that Bai Qi was not aware of this. He quickly scanned the team of Game 13 and soon found Yi Yu's position.
"Minister Yi, you promised me last time... "
Bai Qi was halfway through his words when he realized that he was being stared at by nearly a hundred people, including several bigwigs like Zhao Futu. He immediately reacted, coughed twice, and said, "Minister Yi, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Yi Yu smiled slightly, looked Bai Qi up and down, and said, "Bai Qi, what new patent are you researching?"
Wow, do they just assume it’s a patent?
Everyone was shocked again, but after seeing Bai Qi, they felt it was so reasonable.
During these two weeks, Bai Qi was immersed in his own world and felt nothing, but the outside world had been swept up in a wave of enthusiasm for Bai Qi's research, and the top ten hot searches were almost all Bai Qi's information.
"The second stage of rune evolution has been released, and the Undead Beast Tamers are once again experiencing a period of explosive growth."
"Bai Qi is so outstanding, is there someone pushing him behind the scenes?"
"When will Bai Qi, the owner of three core patents, top the federal rich list!"
“…”
Although the third patent does not clearly state it, this does not prevent Bai Qi from becoming famous in the Federation. Coupled with the Zhuge family's support behind the scenes, Bai Qi has become a leader of the new generation.
Hearing Yi Yu's words, Bai Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "Minister Yi, you think too highly of me. I'm just a student. I just read too late yesterday and overslept."
"Hahaha... As expected, there is a reason for success. It seems that we in the Thirteenth Bureau must strengthen our theoretical study in the future."
Wang Jian burst into laughter upon hearing this, but Tang Miao and the others all looked bitter and glared at Bai Qi with resentment.
This guy can find trouble for them even if he is in another department.
Feeling those murderous gazes, Bai Qi shrank his neck in disappointment and immediately returned to Tepei's team.
"Now that everyone is here, shall we get started?"
Zhao Futu looked at Wang Jian, who nodded and said, "President Zhao, please announce the details of the competition."
"Then I will just say a few words."
Zhao Futu walked in front of everyone and said, "The purpose of this joint competition between Bureau 13 and the Association is to select outstanding talents and assign them to more reasonable positions."
"President Wang and I will decide whether you stay or go based on your performance this time. At the same time, for the students in the special training, this is also a key test that determines whether you can join the Six Towers."
"So, everyone, behave yourself."
The brief introduction made everyone's mood fluctuate again.
Not to mention the association, the Thirteenth Bureau had actually issued a similar notice before leaving, which naturally also involved their stay or transfer in the Thirteenth Bureau.
Simply put, what kind of training they will receive in the future basically depends on this competition.
Seeing that everyone had taken it seriously, Zhao Futu nodded with satisfaction and continued, "This assessment is divided into two categories: theory and practice. We will make a comprehensive ranking based on the final scores."
"As for the rewards, the students in the special training should be very clear about it."
When Zhao Futu said this, the students in the special training class felt a jolt in their hearts, and after seeing the reward picture displayed behind Zhao Futu, their bad premonition was confirmed.
"For this reward, we will distribute the special training points reward in advance based on the ranking. Of course, it is limited to the top three."
At this point, Zhao Futu looked at Bai Qi and the others and said, "So, if you don't want your rewards to be taken away, students, please work hard."
Looking at Zhao Futu with a smirk that was inconsistent with his age and status, Bai Qi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
This rule is aimed at him, forcing him to take first place.
No wonder he could become the president of the association, he is indeed an old fox...
