'It seems they really don't think highly of me,'

'So when the news that I'm going to be the Deputy Division Chief comes out, it will definitely shock everyone to the core, won't it?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu walked towards the elevator, preparing to patiently wait for the news on the 9th floor.

Just as the elevator doors were slowly closing, leaving only a sliver of an opening, suddenly! A large hand violently grasped the elevator doors.

Feeling the obstruction, the doors shuddered violently and then slowly reopened.

Noticing the unexpected, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up at the elevator entrance.

Then he saw the slowly reopening doors reveal a man in a plain green uniform with three bars on his shoulder standing there.

It was none other than Qiu Tu's defeated opponent from a few days prior: Zheng Tao.

Seeing Qiu Tu, Zheng Tao's expression did not change at all, as if the person who had been "slapped" in the face just a few days ago wasn't him.

Since they belonged to different departments, and it wasn't a formal meeting, Qiu Tu didn't salute but merely nodded slightly and then greeted, "Director Zheng, you're late today. That's not like you."

"You normally..."

"shouldn't you be working overtime late into the night, never leaving the office?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao's forehead veins twitched slightly. Then he snorted softly, ignoring Qiu Tu's mockery and walked straight into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and this time no one else came to interrupt.

So, in the slowly ascending enclosed space, there were only Qiu Tu and Zheng Tao.

Whether it was the awkwardness of sharing the same space or Zheng Tao being annoyed by Qiu Tu's earlier sarcasm was unclear.

After staring at the elevator doors for two seconds, Zheng Tao slowly began, "Chief Qiu, although we're both 'chiefs', my position is one level higher than yours."

"You are in fact just a normal Principal Staff."

"So, in the presence of a superior, you should show respect."

Seeing Qiu Tu remain unmoved, Zheng Tao continued with a cold face, "Moreover, don't think that there's just a one-level difference between us, but between Principal Staff and Deputy Division Chief there is an insurmountable chasm!"

"Do you know? As soon as you become a division chief, even if only a Deputy Division Chief, you will have access to a luxurious villa and sedan provided by the City Hall in the city center."

"You'll have dedicated housekeepers, drivers, and secretaries."

"And moreover, all of your daily necessities will be supplied through special channels! You can say that in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, there is absolutely no need to worry."

"You'll be enjoying the top resources of Xinjie City."

Having said that, he glanced at Qiu Tu once more and said coldly, "And you?"

"If I remember correctly, the car you're driving now was swindled from Director Qin, wasn't it?"

"I saw it yesterday; not only is the body beaten up, but even the window glass is shattered."

"Also, you are still living in a tube building in the slum area, right? It must be unpleasant stepping over filthy sewage and garbage every day to and from work, isn't it?"

"Your boots have also suffered along with you."

"Moreover, although your position is Principal Staff, since you haven't officially taken over the work of the Action Division, you don't even have your own office. Generally, you have to use an empty conference room for phone calls and meetings, right?"

"Hmm... As for a dedicated secretary or driver, there's no need to mention that."

"Now, do you understand the gap between us?"

Upon hearing Zheng Tao's words, Qiu Tu:...

Qiu Tu actually understood Zheng Tao quite well:

It was nothing more than the fact that he had slapped Zheng Tao's face so hard yesterday, causing him to lose face and prestige throughout the Investigation Bureau.

So, upon seeing him this morning, Zheng Tao wanted to strike at him from another angle to regain some of that lost face.

But the angle he chose was clearly wrong.

Let alone the fact that he had just changed villas yesterday, there was the matter of the Deputy Division Chief position...

He was about to get promoted as well.

This wasn't going to hit him at all!

Thinking so, Qiu Tu also looked towards Zheng Tao and then said with a smile, "You're absolutely right, Director Zheng."

"As a former subordinate of yours, I am greatly inspired. That's why I've decided to work hard to rise another level, to reach the same heights as you."

Saying this, Qiu Tu, as if he just remembered something, suddenly said, "Oh right, didn't the Political Department just recently have a Deputy Division Chief position open up?"

"I think it suits me perfectly!"

"In a moment, I'll have a chat with the Bureau Chief to see if I can get that position."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zheng Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with disdain as if he were crazy.

Deputy Division Chief of the Political Department?

Qiu Tu was dreaming an impossible dream.

Despite the fact that this position's rank is the same as a Deputy Division Chief, the value and authority it holds are the highest among all Deputy Division Level positions.

Forget about the heads of various government departments, even he, the Deputy Division Chief of the Public Security Bureau, wanted to compete for it. There was even more interest from senior Deputy Division Chiefs of other departments.

So, there was no way it was Qiu Tu's turn.

However... as a dignified person, Zheng Tao had just "counterattacked" Qiu Tu a couple of times, which was already quite extraordinary.

So, even though he felt that Qiu Tu was delusional, he just gave Qiu Tu a cold look and couldn't be bothered to engage with him anymore.

Qiu Tu wasn't the type to be unrelenting when he had the upper hand, so seeing that Zheng Tao had given up, he didn't stimulate him further.

Soon, the elevator rose to the second floor, and the doors slowly opened. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

Zheng Tao stepped out of the elevator.

But just as he was already stepping out, Zheng Tao suddenly stopped in his tracks.
