In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Beijing.

Wu Chunlin stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, but his eyes were fierce as he looked at the Peking University wall in front of him.

Gou Ride!

I'm really going to follow it.

"Xiao Ye, give me your phone."

Wu Chunlin's voice was very low.

"Okay, boss!"

After all, Xiao Ye was young. After a long escape, his hair was slightly damp on his forehead, but he straightened his suit and looked quite presentable.

Beep!

Wu Chunlin's lips curled into an uncontrollable smile, tinged with resentment, his expression twisted in a grimace as he rapidly dialed a number.

"Hey, you can't catch me!"

Almost the instant the call was answered, Wu Chunlin's mouth spewed out like a machine gun, "Old man, all I needed were a few of you? Damn it, you actually called Lao Wang and his gang to blacklist me! Let me tell you, this isn't over. If I can't poach people from anywhere else, none of my dear juniors will escape."

"I'll tell you."

"You're finished!"

snort!

A disdainful laugh.

It came through the microphone.

"Have you forgotten how you escaped the capital last time?"

The old headmaster reminded him, "You wicked child, do you need me to remind you?"

"Old man, you're abusing your power! I'm going to report you in the lake!"

Wu Chunlin was even angrier when he recalled the large-scale operation of setting up checkpoints and conducting surprise inspections at various intersections in Beijing last time.

Fortunately, I had anticipated this and used the official car provided by the Donghai Liaison Office in Beijing.

Having connections is amazing!

This is still the capital city.

"Do you know who's on duty tonight? Let me tell you, it's Minister Hao from the Ministry of Public Security!"

The old principal said slowly, "Huang Yuxuan, the computer engineering genius you signed yesterday, happens to be the talent that the Ministry of Public Security's Network Center has reserved."

"You can now explain your motive for committing the crime."

Damn it!

Wu Chunlin spat.

"Old man, am I still your precious disciple? Do you even remember that I am your only remaining disciple?"

Since it's too hard to get...

Wu Chunlin's tone suddenly dropped, his voice thick with nasal congestion and suppressed sobs, "I just wanted to sign a few of my precious kids to Handong, and you won't even support my work? You're even blacklisting me!"

"And I still got into the department like this!"

"You've forgotten, you've forgotten the entrustment that your eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth sister entrusted to you to take care of me before they went to Qincheng and Yancheng."

"You're heartless!"

"You old geezer, would you be happy if I got me in jail too?"

Wu Chunlin's shoulders trembled as he stood in the darkness, howling like a banshee.

"You unfilial disciple, don't mention those wicked children to me!"

The old headmaster roared angrily, "I've spoiled you too much, which has made you more and more audacious, and you do whatever you want."

"I'm only fifty-eight."

"I've become an 85-year-old ghost just from cleaning up your messes."

"My unsuccessful career is a lifelong regret."

"I went through so much trouble to plan for you all, hoping that you wouldn't suffer the same hardships as me. But what happened? Starting with the second son, you all set a bad example and ended up in jail one by one."

"Your senior brother has already become a full-fledged department head."

"A 46-year-old ministerial-level official, but his heart has gone astray. He was sent to prison in less than two terms after serving in a local post."

I just wanted to make sure you walked steadily.

"Why won't you listen? Why did you go to find people from Qingda University!"

The old principal's roars pierced straight into Wu Chunlin's heart.

"But what can I do?"

Wu Chunlin retorted in a tone that said, "I know you're not feeling well, but I'm feeling even worse." He continued, "Sha Ruijin, the newly appointed provincial party secretary of Handong, wanted to freeze the list of 126 people to be promoted left by Secretary Liao at the very first meeting of the Standing Committee."

"Only Lao Lin can stand up for me in the entire Standing Committee."

"Old Lin went to such great lengths to help me refute the provincial party secretary's first proposal; I absolutely have to repay him!"

"Old Lin has great ambitions. He wants to build Handong into a leading advanced province in development nationwide, which requires a lot of financial resources and manpower."

"I can't help with the finances, but I need to take care of the people in my own jobs, right?"

"But Handong is short-staffed!"

"If I have to recruit people from all over, and you're so stingy, shouldn't I try to unite all the friendly organizations I can?"

Wu Chunlin said a lot, and finally concluded, "In the end, it's still your fault, old man. If you hadn't refused to help me and even blocked me, would I have gotten to this point?"

it is good!it is good!it is good!

"I was wrong after all."

The old headmaster was so angry he was blowing his beard and glaring. "You're all silver-tongued, eloquent, and persuasive; go ahead and try to take your younger schoolmates away!"

"But if I catch you."

"I'll hang you up at the school gate and whip you."

The phone call was abruptly disconnected, leaving only a busy tone.

"Boss, are we doomed?"

Secretary Ye asked.

Wu Chunlin tossed his phone over, wiped his face, and showed no trace of the anger and resentment he had felt during the call. "Young man, he doesn't understand anything."

"You think I made this call to brag about my victory? To provoke the old man? To whine and complain?"

Wu Chunlin shook his finger. "No, I'm accusing someone."

Xiao Ye understands a little, but not quite.

"Do you know what the most important quality is for us human resources managers?"

Wu Chunlin asked again.

"A discerning eye for talent?"

Secretary Ye asked tentatively.

"That's a skill."

Wu Chunlin gave him a flick on the head in an annoyed tone, "Of course, morality is about repaying kindness with kindness and repaying injustice with justice."

"Oh, I understand."

Xiao Ye suddenly realized, "You're trying to sow discord between Secretary Sha and others."

"Not too stupid."

Wu Chunlin chuckled and said, "When the old man hears that it's a tour group from Shajiabang, he'll definitely cause trouble for the Qin family; at the same time, he'll relax the restrictions on us, letting us pick up another batch of leftovers."

"The old man's rank isn't high, but his network of connections has grown significantly over the years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get the senior brother to that position. Now he's just right to deal with a few retired old men."

"Secretary Zhao is locked in a fierce battle with them."

"Any intervention by any force will disrupt the balance. In order to protect themselves, the Qin family will definitely compromise with the old man. At that time, they will use the Qin family's connections to send us another batch of talents."

"quack!"

"I'm really too smart."

Xiao Ye's confusion only deepened. "Then why didn't you tell the old principal from the beginning? Wouldn't that have saved you a lot of trouble?"

"What do you know!"

Wu Chunlin turned around and kicked him in the butt. "Students from Peking University are the cream of the crop. Except for those who have no interest in officialdom, most of them have already been reserved by various parties."

"In the past, getting people was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth; even the old folks had a hard time with us."

"How much can we get?"

"But if we grab one wave first, and then the old man arranges for another wave to be transported, won't we get even more people?"

Xiao Ye felt it was right, yet couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Unable to refute it, he could only obediently nod and ask, "Boss, should we run away now?"
