Chapter 328 68. Shock after the Promotion! (6000 words for monthly votes!)_2

The State Security Bureau, after a director's meeting discussion, was proposed by Deputy Director Qingping, suggesting that the Emerald City Security Bureau should assess Fang Ze, the person in charge of the Special Case Team, for promotion.

The specific assessment and job arrangements will be drafted by the Emerald City Security Bureau itself.

Although the entire formal letter's wording is all suggestions and praise, everyone understands that since the state has given such advice, the Emerald City Security Bureau could hardly reject it unless there is 100% justifiable reason.

Therefore, Fang Ze's promotion can almost be said to be set in stone!

And after understanding this matter, the first reaction of all those who knew about this letter was a bit confounded: Fang Ze is being promoted again?

He is now a first-level Commissioner, and after being promoted... he will be the Deputy Section Chief, right?

Isn't that too fast?

And upon further consideration of the content of this letter, it was proposed by Qingping, a member of the Commoner Faction, which indicates that Fang Ze has likely obtained the appreciation of the Commoner Faction, or at least, their acknowledgment.

And Fang Ze himself is from the aristocracy faction, and just recently received support from the Neutral Faction.

So... now he has garnered support from all three sides?

For a moment... everyone had a feeling: it seems a political rising star is on the rise in the Emerald City Security Bureau!

And there are others who think even more.

It seems... that rumor must be true.

Once approved by the Neutral Faction, it is the same as having the support of all three sides and receiving robust training and support from the entire Security Bureau system.

Truly becoming a core seed for the future.

So... is Fang Ze really about to soar?

For a moment, many minds couldn't help but become a bit restless...

.....

Considering Fang Ze's current access to information within the Security Bureau, he knew about the formal letter almost as soon as it had reached the Security Bureau.

Although he was somewhat surprised, Fang Ze didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, things like the aristocracy faction, the Commoner Faction, and the Neutral Faction, he didn't care about any of them.

What he cared about were those who sincerely treated him well, and the promotion of his own strength and position.

He would not let go of those in the aristocracy faction who crossed him.

He would remember the kindness of those in the Commoner Faction and the Neutral Faction who treated him well.

As for the rest, that would wait for later.

His current thoughts were all focused on dealing with the crisis he was facing...

The Yang Transformation-stage master and the hidden hands behind his 23 students were the immediate crises he had to face.

If he couldn't overcome these two crises, what future would he have?

Thus, after sending away a few close confidants who had come to report, Fang Ze directly lingered in Qing Ya's office.

He had a significant task tonight.

Not only did he need to write up his recent job report under Qing Ya's guidance, but he also had to learn about Marrow Tempering, the cultivation method that followed Organ Tempering.

....

Meanwhile.

On the rooftop opposite the Security Bureau.

The sloppy-looking vagrant was there sipping from his Wine Gourd, patiently waiting for Fang Ze to come out.

It was the time for the Security Bureau staff to leave work. Many commissioners were discussing Fang Ze's promotion while coming out from the Bureau's gate and heading outside.

In front of the vagrant, on the empty ground, sat a photo of Fang Ze, which he glanced at, then with half-closed drunk eyes, he casually swept over all the people coming out.

'Not there.'

Tilting his head for a drink, the vagrant muttered silently in his heart...

After a moment, he took a few more sips of liquor, then continued to watch the next group of commissioners emerging.

Even though there were as many as a hundred people in the second group, his quick scan was precise, and he judged,

'Still not there.'

Continue drinking, continue scanning, continue waiting.

So from the initial throng of people leaving work to the gradual trickle of only three or four commissioners, the vagrant waited for who knows how long.

The Wine Gourd in his hand seemed like a bottomless pit, continuously pouring out the liquor into his mouth.

And his belly seemed like a bottomless pit too, regardless of how much liquor went in, he didn't appear to feel anything...

Time seemed to lose its effect on him. He simply waited from the sun's descent to the first lights of dusk, and then to the moon rising above the willow tops.

Only... Fang Ze never appeared.

"He didn't come out today either?"

The vagrant slightly furrowed his brow.

Then, with a profound look toward the entrance of the Security Bureau, he took a communicator from his pocket and pressed a few buttons...

...

In Emerald City, at the Governing Hall.

In that room adorned with aristocratic decor,

Jiang Cheng was sitting behind a desk, dealing with documents.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Someone knocked on his door.

"Come in," Jiang Cheng said without even lifting his head.

Following the sound of the door opening, his close female aide walked in.

After entering, the aide quickly approached Jiang Cheng, bent down, and whispered, "Your Excellency. Lord Shang Quan has sent a message saying Fang Ze didn't leave the Security Bureau today either."

"Hmm. I know," Jiang Cheng responded.

The aide stood up straight and then asked softly, "So... what do we do next?"

Jiang Cheng didn't answer but instead handed a document from the desk to his aide, "Take a look at this."

The aide took the document with a puzzled expression, her gaze landing on it.
