Sweat on.

After wiping his sweat, he spoke slowly and said, "So, you want to use the fact that the leader and solver of the Hua Chao Festival is actually Fang Ze to continue to suppress Bai Zhi's promotion?"

Qingping nodded and said, "Yes. Judging from the information passed by our people, Bai Zhi played almost no role in this case."

"Coupled with the leadership and crime-solving abilities she has demonstrated before, I feel that she is simply not qualified to be the director of the security bureau of a high-end city."

"Moreover, the order from the jurisdiction is that the affairs of the Flower Festival will now be taken over by the jurisdiction."

"They will send an action team to the Emerald City to monitor and handle matters related to the Flower Festival and the arrival of the Flower God."

"In this case, it would be too risky for Bai Zhi to be the chief. I'm really afraid that she will mess this up."

"So, I think we can make a fuss about 'Fang Ze is the one who solved the case'. Let's promote Fang Ze first, let him be promoted to section chief, and use part of the credit."

"In this way, when we talk about Bai Zhi's promotion, we will have a reasonable excuse to object."

Hearing Qingping's words, the old farmer didn't say anything. He waved to the side.

Suddenly, outside the vegetable field, a man in a suit came over and respectfully handed the old farmer a bottle of water.

The old farmer took the water, twisted it away, took a sip, and then said slowly, "Qingping, although you are not my disciple, I have watched you grow up since childhood."

"You have a calm temperament, can tolerate many things that ordinary people cannot tolerate, and you are relatively mature and steady in your actions. However, your problem is also very obvious. That is, you have never been far-sighted enough and focused too much on immediate interests."

"I'm just the director of the security bureau of a high-end city. Is it really that important?"

Seeing that Qingping wanted to say something, the old farmer raised his hand to interrupt her and said, "I know you want to say that the director of the Security Bureau is the most powerful person in the city, if not one."

"Not only does he control the most powerful violent institution in a city."

"And it is not subject to equal jurisdiction. It also has the right to directly take over city management under special circumstances."

"Although the members in the executive office are ranked above each department and below the four members, their influence is actually greater than that of most members. They are only lower than the first member."

"As for the security bureau of Emerald City being so weak, it's just because they have never had a director. And the gap in authority between the deputy director and the director is too big, and the security bureau cannot play its role at all."

"So, the director of the security bureau of a high-end city is a very important position."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Qingping, who nodded calmly.

The old man shook his head slowly and said, "Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. Look at the overall situation."

"Besides, even if you care about a director, it's not like this."

He picked up the hoe and continued to hoe the ground.

While hoeing the ground, he said slowly, "The credit for this matter belongs to the little girl from the Bai family and her subordinates."

"No matter how much you try to separate her, you can't get around her."

"And your crude opposition will only cause a backlash from the Bai family."

Having said this, he shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about whether you can really press down the Angelica dahurica. Even if you can, it's meaningless."

"The Bai family can completely arrange another place for her to serve."

Qingping was silent for a while, then said unwillingly, "Then...are we going to let Bai Zhi become the chief?"

She said, "It's not that I don't tolerate others. Over the years, I rarely stop other people in the Bai family from getting promoted."

"But Bai Zhi is really not suitable."

The old farmer smiled and said, "To prevent something from happening, you don't have to stop it. You can also work harder."

Qingping was stunned.

The old farmer said calmly, "Even I have heard about the Flower Festival, and it was indeed done very well."

"The area under their jurisdiction takes it so seriously that they even dispatched a special action team to take over."

"So, as the first achievement in this matter, is it appropriate for Fang Ze to only upgrade to one level?"

The old farmer said grandly, "Since you promised before, whoever cracks the Flower Festival will be the mayor."

"Then, give him a three-level promotion and make him the chief!"

"Isn't that great?"

Hearing what the old farmer said, Qingping quickly said, "Here, this Fang Ze has only been in the job for less than three months. He went from trainee specialist to director?? This is a promotion of nearly 10 levels!"

"Moreover, from deputy section chief, I skip the two most important levels and become director directly!"

"This, this has no precedent at all!"

But the old farmer just smiled and shook his head, continued to hoe the ground, and did not explain any more.

At this time, the man in a suit who had just handed the water to the old farmer and was now standing beside the two people holding water said with a smile, "Qingping, don't you understand?"

"Even you find it unbelievable. Can others accept it?"

"As many superiors as he had in the Security Bureau before, when he becomes director, there will be as many dissatisfied ones."

After hearing what the man in suit said, Qingping was stunned for a moment, and then she looked astonished.

After a moment, she said softly, "But... I can't accept it, and the Bai family probably won't accept it either, right?"

"So, even if I propose this plan, the director meeting will not pass it."

The old man was still hoeing the ground attentively and did not answer.

Therefore, it is still the man in the suit who answers.

He shook his head and said calmly, "But what does this have to do with you?"

"You brought it up. It's for Fang Ze's good. The Bai family doesn't agree. It's the Bai family's business. It's them who have blocked Fang Ze's upward path."

"I have read Fang Ze's information. He is not a person trained by the Bai family since childhood. He has not even had any contact with the Bai family, and he has no so-called loyalty to the Bai family."

"So, even if he is generous and does not break up with the Bai family because of this matter, it is very likely that he will leave a thorn in his heart."

"Isn't the relationship between people always destroyed in this way?"

Qingping said, "What if the Bai family agrees?"

The man in the suit smiled and said, "Then Bai Zhi won't be able to ascend?"

Qingping suddenly realized.

The man in the suit continued, "Besides, you have to think so."

"Even if the Bai family agrees after thinking for a long time, do they really have no grudge in their hearts?"

"Aristocratic families are divided into direct concubines. What's more, if a member of the family outside the family blocks the upward path of the direct descendants of the family, there are so many people in the Bai family, so there won't be any dissatisfaction in their hearts?"

"Bai Zhi wants to be the chief. After thinking about it for so many years, won't she have any grudges?"

Speaking of this, he said calmly, "Even if they are really saints."

"But what impact does this have on us?"

"When playing chess, don't worry about gains and losses."

"As the teacher said, you have to have a long-term perspective."

"This is just a casual move."

"Originally, this belongs to the Bai family. We just give it to them normally."

"It's the best if you can do it, and it won't be a loss if you don't."

"Besides, is it a good thing that Fang Ze has become the director?"

"This is also a very big test for him."

"There are various departments of the State Security Bureau that he is completely unfamiliar with and may have problems with him."

"There are subordinates who are dissatisfied with him. Even Bai Zhi, a comrade-in-arms, may not be so close to him."

"If he does well, then we know how to recognize people."

"If we don't do well, Gu Qing can take over again when the time comes."

After hearing this, Qingping finally understood completely.

She bowed slightly towards the old farmer calmly, and then said, "Speaker, I will go back and arrange this matter first."

The old farmer waved his hand, wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck, and continued hoeing.

After watching Qingping leave, the man in the suit withdrew his gaze, looked at the old farmer, and said, "Teacher, actually, I also have a lot of doubts about this matter. Therefore, I didn't tell Qingping many things."

"For example, do you really think so highly of Fang Ze?"

He paused and said, "The Bai family will definitely know that this matter was authorized by you, so after weighing it, they will definitely not refuse it 100%."

"So, what you are doing is equivalent to forcing Fang Ze to ascend to the throne."

"If he doesn't choose our side in the end, that's not it."

The old farmer smiled, and then he said while hoeing the ground, "Just now you told Qingping not to be so concerned about gains and losses."

"Why are you so worried about gains and losses now?"

"It's just a casual move. Don't worry about it so much."
