"... Duke Wei did invite Lin Gerui, but he also invited the Emperor of Penguin Logistics."
The black-capped shadow guard beside him widened his eyes slightly. He didn't expect that Mr. Chen had guessed this. After a little hesitation, the black-capped shadow guard answered truthfully:
"As for what Duke Wei discussed with those two, we don't know."
"The Emperor? Why would he accept such an invitation? He shouldn't be willing to get involved in regional politics."
The words of the Black Raincoat Shadow Guard startled Chen Huijie slightly, and he thought that an accident must have happened that he was not aware of.
"It was Miss Chen who knocked out Texas, an employee of Penguin Logistics, and put him in jail. That's why the Emperor came looking for us."
? ? ? ?
Chen Huijie was stunned when he heard this. Putting aside other things, I couldn’t understand how these two came into conflict.
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. If I figured it out, my IQ would probably be on the same level as Chen Huijie’s, which would be too bad.
Chen Huijie shook his head slightly, throwing away all his random thoughts, and then said softly:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Your Majesty must have diverted the topic. These three probably chatted all night long over snacks and drinks."
Listening to Chen Huijie's words, the black-capped shadow guard didn't dare to say a word, because it was indeed the fact. Although no one knew what Duke Wei talked about with those two, Madam Wen Yue did add a lot of delicious food and wine to Duke Wei and the other two.
"Senior Liao and Senior Jiang, please come over here. There are some things I need to consult with them before I can make a better decision."
"Please go to the files room of the Guards Bureau and get everything from file cabinet number 42."
"Also, lend me a Guard Bureau access card. I need to access the intranet here to check something."
……
……
……
As orders came down one after another, the black-capped shadow guards were mobilized by Chen Huijie. The news passed on from their hands and mouths allowed Chen Huijie to quickly complete the initial integration of the information.
Yesterday afternoon, during an in-depth discussion of official business with Governor Wei, Chen Huijie keenly noticed that there were some subtle but significant differences between the current Longmen and the prosperous city he was familiar with and in charge of.
These differences are not only reflected in the surface changes in the city, such as emerging buildings and different urban styles, but are also reflected more deeply in the public mentality, policy orientation and potential social problems.
Chen Huijie knows very well that as a responsible manager, he must have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of these changes in order to make more accurate judgments and decisions.
Just as Chen Huijie was thinking about how to further explore the current situation of Longmen, Governor Wei's "lazy" behavior inadvertently provided him with an excellent opportunity.
Although it seemed like slackness in work on the surface, for Chen Huijie, it became a legitimate reason, allowing him to mobilize the Black Shroud Shadow Guard, a well-trained elite team specializing in secret missions, to assist him in completing his new understanding of Longmen.
Chen Huijie plans to leverage the team's expertise to conduct a comprehensive preliminary investigation of Longmen's current situation from multiple perspectives and levels. He hopes to gain relevant information on the livelihoods of the people, the efficiency of government agencies, and even potential social risks, so as to develop more practical and effective governance plans.
In this way, Chen Huijie can not only fill the gaps in his understanding of Longmen's new situation, but also take this opportunity to test the actual effectiveness of the Black Shroud Shadow Guard, while deepening his tacit understanding and trust with this team.
After all, although Chen Huijie is relatively "familiar" with everyone in the Black Shroud Shadow Guard, most of those were interactions in private life, and they had only cooperated in serious operations a few times. Especially when Chen Huijie took over the Guard Bureau and was in charge of Longmen, most of the Black Shroud Shadow Guard had died in the line of duty. There might really be some problems in the running-in between Chen Huijie and this team.
But this is secondary, let’s get down to business first.
The first thing to be affected is naturally the media publicity. After learning about Longmen's media environment, Chen Huijie was surprised to find that compared with the situation he was familiar with, the media publicity here was in a completely different state.
At this time, Longmen's media landscape appeared even more fragmented and complex. Numerous media outlets operated independently, with no clear monopoly forming. This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of unified coordination.
On the one hand, this diversity is conducive to the diversity of information, reduces the bias of a single perspective, and ensures the vitality and fairness of public opinion.
But on the other hand, this also means that when official information needs to be disseminated quickly or emergency public relations strategies need to be implemented, there is a lack of a strong command center, making it difficult to quickly mobilize resources from all parties and form a joint force.
However, this situation is undoubtedly good. Compared with the situation at that time when most of Chen Huijie's media resources were firmly controlled by major forces, this situation is simply too good. As long as it is summarized, it will naturally enable him to concentrate resources more efficiently when implementing specific propaganda strategies and achieve rapid coverage of goals.
Should we start taking down these media outlets tonight...
Forget it, I'd better wait for Governor Wei to wake up and leave it to him. Although the Black Shroud Shadow Guards are almost equivalent to his existence in Longmen, the Black Shroud Shadow Guards are not an openly violent agency after all. An organization of insufficient level has no way of knowing the identities of these people, but they recognize Governor Wei, and if he comes forward, it can save a lot of trouble and time.
Chen Huijie thought about this, picked up a pen with his left hand, and began to write down his ideas and plans. This time, what he wrote was quite clear. He was basically saying to Governor Wei:
"The rice and vegetables are cooked in the pot. If they are cold, remember to heat them up before eating. The water is also boiled, you can take a shower directly. If you encounter any problems and don't know who to ask, ask Senior Guo or Senior Dong. They can help you."
If Governor Wei can still drag this matter out for another week, then Chen Huijie will have nothing to say.
At this time, Chen Huijie's other hand skillfully jumped on the computer keyboard, and the mouse moved quickly on the screen. Chen Huijie's eyes switched back and forth between the screen and the file, sometimes frowning, sometimes with a smile on his face. He was obviously comparing the information and looking for connections and differences between the data.
Whenever he had a preliminary conclusion in his mind, Chen Huijie would temporarily stop operating his electronic device, gently close the relevant documents he had written, and put them neatly aside. Then, he would pull out a new piece of paper and start writing new content with his left hand.
On the other side, Chen Huijie took out a detailed map with his right hand, spread it out on the table, and began to think deeply about another topic. His eyes moved on the map, sometimes stopping at certain key areas, sometimes exchanging opinions with the black-capped shadow guards, and marking important information on the map with a pen.
Faced with this methodical yet passionate work pace that makes people feel their all-out efforts in every task, the black-cloaked shadow guards standing by were speechless.
How should I put it? When I was working in the imperial guards in the capital, I had never seen such a diligent minister. This kid... is really good at working overtime. It's a pity that Duke Wei gave up inheriting that position. Otherwise, with such a role model, all the civil and military officials in the court would have to leave work at least two hours later, and it was voluntary overtime.
However, for Mr. Chen to be so busy at this age is really too much...
"Mr. Chen, drink some water and take a break."
Thinking of this, the black-capped shadow guard poured a cup of tea for Chen Huijie and gently handed it to him. Chen Huijie thanked him and gestured for him to put the cup aside.
Then, after Chen Huijie finished his work and just held the teacup, a black-capped shadow guard came to report. He sorted out the information Chen Huijie needed by area. Chen Huijie nodded with satisfaction, handed over the teacup in his hand, and said softly:
"You've worked so hard. Drink some water and take it easy. It's a real help."
"Hey, that's nothing, Mr. Chen, you're too polite."
The black-capped shadow guard who came to report took the teacup with a smile and drank it all. Then, just as he was about to say something else, he saw that Chen Huijie had started to multitask and began to immerse himself in affairs again. It was obvious that he had no time to chat with him.
So the black-capped shadow guard could only step aside and wait for Chen Huijie's new order. Just like that, the night fell, the morning light pierced the darkness, and dawn came. Chen Huijie also put down his pen, sorted out the documents, and said softly:
"Send the items back to Governor Wei's deputy study. When Governor Wei wakes up, please have him take a look. If there are no problems, please implement them as soon as possible. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying this, Chen Huijie disappeared into the morning light. Not long after, Wei Yanwu, who had just woken up, looked at the pile of documents in front of him, looked blankly at his good brother in black cape, and said softly:
"I'm still asleep, right?"
Chapter 139: Black Suo: Lord Wei, you will kill people if you do that.
When Wei Yanwu got up today, he was full of ambition. He talked about some serious matters with Lao Lin and the Emperor last night, and then started drinking.
Don't get me wrong, this is not indulgence, but a move to calm down. It has been many years since we have shown our abilities in such a serious manner. We can't really let the younger generation look down on us. Just like the emperor said, after drinking at the party today, we should quit drinking until we finish the work!
Lin Gerui quite agreed with this statement. If what Brother Chen said was followed, the situation in the Longmen slums would improve a lot. Maybe one day, the order and balance there would not need the title of Rat King to deter others. In that case, Yuxia would not have to inherit his position and do what she wanted.
Thinking of this, Lin Gerui couldn't help but become interested, and drank a large bottle of liquor with Wei Yanwu. The emperor on the other side was very cooperative and heated up the atmosphere. It was because the sick tiger was not in good health now, otherwise these three people would have moved the drinking place to his ward anyway.
Then, when Wei Yanwu got up from the bed this morning, holding his waist, he was full of excitement. He had a great time last night, and from today on, he should work hard to let his nephew from another world see how powerful he is.
It would be best to make him realize that he is not only good at swordsmanship, but also that if he works seriously in his official duties, he is a goal worth following and learning from.
With this in mind, Wei Yanwu sat in his study, shook his sleeves, picked up a pen, opened a file, and prepared to start work...
Ok?
Wei Yanwu's gaze drifted between the lines of the document, his brow gradually relaxed, a hint of relief and wonder in his eyes. The document detailed the response strategy for the current situation, from personnel deployment to material distribution, from emergency evacuation plans to crisis public relations measures. Every aspect was thoughtfully and meticulously considered, so detailed that he'd even considered his own niece sitting here. As long as they followed the instructions and issued orders, there would be basically no major problems.
In response to this, Wei Yanwu slowly closed the document, pinched his brows, and sighed helplessly. He really drank a little too much last night. I thought I was just "provoking" Wen Yue. It turns out that I took advantage of the alcohol to busy myself with work.
Hahahaha, well, I'm really that weird, ahem, keep going, look at the next document, um, yes, look at the next document, hahahahahaha...
Wei Yanwu's movements seemed exceptionally calm. He gently picked up another document, his eyes moving slowly across the pages, savoring every comment and every graphic caption.
Every detail of these documents reveals the maker's care and professionalism. When Wei Yanwu finished reading them, he did not immediately make comments or suggest revisions. Instead, he quietly closed the document, gently put it aside, and then picked up a new document.
After reading four or five documents in a row, looking at the two piles of documents on the table, the Longmen Governor touched his chin and calmly looked at the black-capped shadow guard standing beside him and said:
"I understand. I haven't woken up yet. I'm still in a dream, don't you think so, Old Duan?"
Yes, it was in my dream. Am I really that hardworking? How can I be so busy in one night? Shouldn’t I sleep? I almost got tricked again. This kind of dream that makes people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood is so abominable. Can’t you just say hello before you dream? Look, I’m going to bed to restart!
"Duke Wei, the unprocessed documents are below."
Just as Wei Yanwu was about to stand up and try to calm his inner turmoil by leaving for a short time, the black-cloaked shadow guards on both sides reached out their hands tacitly and pressed his shoulders gently but firmly.
This instantaneous action, though seemingly simple, sent a jolt through Wei Yanwu's heart, as if an electric current were running through his body. This long-lost sense of familiarity was like a key, instantly unlocking the floodgates of his memory.
Wei Yanwu's thoughts were instantly drawn back to the capital many years ago. Back then, he was still a naive teenager, immersed in a heavy workload every day under the strict guidance of his father, the emperor, and the meticulous instruction of his teachers. Whenever he tried to escape or slacked off, the imperial guards at his side would "pin" him to his seat, forcing him to remain focused on his studies.
And, as luck would have it, the imperial guard who held him down at the beginning is the black-capped shadow guard standing next to him now.
Therefore, now, experiencing this feeling of being "pressed back to the original position" again, Wei Yanwu felt a complex emotion in his heart and couldn't help looking around.
Even though he is now a governor, he understands that these two old brothers are really serious. If he touches him like before, these two old brothers will roll up their sleeves and shout "Damn you for daring to offend Duke Wei" while getting serious.
No, everything was fine, how come you two became so serious in just one night? What happened?
"Mr. Chen Xiao said that Lord Wei, please take a look at the documents above to see if there are any corrections needed. The documents below are areas he is not proficient in and need to be handled by Lord Wei personally."
"Ah? Xiaojie is here?!"
After hearing this, Wei Yanwu, who was still confused, immediately widened his eyes in surprise. This was something he really didn't expect. How could there be someone who didn't sleep or rest in the middle of the night and came to work overtime on his own!
"Lord Wei, this is the report on last night's beast tide attack. The people below have just compiled it and handed it over."
Before Wei Yanwu had fully recovered from the previous news, the latest report from the Black Raincoat Shadow Guard was like a thunderclap, shaking his heart again. Wei Yanwu was well aware of the potential destructive power of the recent beast tide near Longmen. Therefore, as early as the beginning of the beast tide warning, he issued a series of response measures to ensure the safety and stability of Longmen.
However, the Blackcoat Shadow Guard's urgent report at this moment clearly indicated that the situation had developed beyond their original expectations, and new variables might have emerged. This sudden news made Wei Yanwu realize that his previous deployment might not be enough to deal with the current complex situation. He quickly recovered from his shock and began to analyze the possible emergencies and the emergency measures required to deal with them...
"Lord Wei, regarding the beast tide, please review these two documents together. Mr. Chen has warned us that this beast tide is not that simple."
The shadow guard in black straw raincoat standing to Wei Yanwu's left moved swiftly and precisely. He gently pulled two documents from his wide sleeves and, like a magician performing a trick, presented them to Wei Yanwu. The series of movements was smooth and natural.
At the same time, a trace of admiration and emotion flashed in the eyes of the black-capped shadow guard. Obviously, he had a very high opinion of Chen Huijie's insight and foresight. This young "Mr. Chen" always seemed to inadvertently show his extraordinary wisdom and carefulness.
As for Wei Yanwu...
Oh, the relationship has been dealt with, and now you are simply informing me.
Wei Yanwu took the document and sat on the chair with a complicated mood. He quickly went through the documents in his hands and on the table. He fell into a state of silence for a while. After a long silence, Wei Yanwu suddenly said in a firm tone:
"Sure enough, I'm still dreaming."
“……”×2.
The black-capped shadow guards standing on the left and right looked at each other and raised their hands decisively, intending to let their masters understand the reality.
"Okay, I was just joking. I'm not really having a seizure."
Just before the two slaps landed, Wei Yanwu became serious, waved his hands, and then sighed helplessly. He flipped through the documents in front of him and said softly:
"But let's be honest, don't you think it's outrageous? One night, just one night. How long has it been since he walked out of here? There's this beast tide, this luck, and all these plans. Can this be handled in one night?"
"Actually, it's not that serious..."
"Um?!"
Wei Yanwu sat up straight abruptly, looked to his good brother in black cape on his left, and waited quietly for the next words:
"There are some documents that have been sent to Lin Gerui according to Mr. Chen's order. Mr. Chen said that instead of letting you two get together to discuss it after you sober up, it would be better for him to build the basic framework first. As long as you two have no objections to this framework, then given your abilities, there's no need to get together to discuss the rest of the matter, which would waste time."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but rub his forehead, then suddenly raised his head, looked at his good brother Hei Mino beside him and said:
"How about... let's give the young man a chance and see what he can do if he takes over the governor's duties..."
"Duke Wei can't do that!" ×2.
Before Wei Yanwu could finish, the black-capped shadow guards standing on his left and right interrupted him in unison and said softly:
“It will kill people.”×2.
"Listen to what you're saying. How could such an operation not result in casualties..."
Wei Yanwu was halfway through his speech when he suddenly realized something. In response, the black-capped shadow guard on his left continued:
"Forgive me for the offense, but Mr. Chen's hard work is far greater than that of the civil and military officials in the court. If it weren't for the remaining official duties, he really isn't very good at them. I'm afraid he would still be working hard at this moment."
"Wei Gong."
At this time, the black-capped shadow guard standing on the other side also said softly:
"I noticed that the young master worked so hard last night, but he didn't eat or drink a single grain of rice, nor did he look tired or sleepy. He even seemed a little reluctant. When he left, he said he had other things to do instead of going home to rest. So, if I grant him full authority... the young master is already in poor health and his heart meridian is damaged, I'm afraid..."
"...You go and see what he's doing right now. If he's still busy, take over what he's doing and let me handle it. Watch him rest."
Wei Yanwu's movements betrayed a hint of fatigue and resignation. He gently pinched his brow, as if trying to relieve the pressure within him. Faced with his nephew Chen Huijie's diligence and perseverance, Wei Yanwu felt both gratified and bewildered. He chuckled self-deprecatingly, wondering to himself, "I'm someone who enjoys life and pursues a relaxed and carefree life. How could I, in this other world, have raised a nephew whose personality was so completely opposite to mine?"
"Lord Wei, the young lady is here."
