Chapter 2292 Taking up the New Position of the Council of Staff
"Could this be the fairy city?"
Xu Yi's eyes lit up and he said loudly.
Since entering this world, the cities he has seen are all inhabited by mortals, but now he sees a city of monks.
Pan Meiren smiled and said, "Zhongxiang, Zhongxiang, means auspicious and auspicious gathering of bells. The current lord of Jeju was born here, so he gave the city the name Zhongxiang. There are many monks in the city and it is rich in resources. It is really the residence of gods."
After Pan Meiren's remarks, Dong Xinchang and Qin Shousheng spoke one after another, and Zhongxiang Xiancheng made supplementary remarks.
The three of them had known Xu Yi's movements for a long time, and they had obviously done their homework.
After all, no one wanted to be outdone by the other, let alone lose points in front of Xu Yi.
Xu Yi laughed, stopped talking, and led the three of them towards Zhongxiang City.
The entrance to the city was quite strict, but under Xu Yi's official edict, everything became easier. The gatekeeper even wanted to send a scribe to guide Xu Yi, but Xu Yi politely declined.
When Xu Yi came to Guibao Land for the first time, he wanted to be familiar with the place. He had never seen the fairy city in this world.
Wandering all the way until the sun was setting in the west, Xu Yi saw that the time was almost up, so he sped up and ran towards the outside of the city.
It is worth mentioning that the so-called outside the city here definitely does not mean outside this floating island, but refers to outside the city wall.
It turns out that the size of this suspended island is completely beyond imagination. There are four cities located in all directions, and the four cities are connected by mountains and rivers. It is more like a small country than a city.
The Staff House is located in Xiaoyao Mountain, two hundred miles south of Dongcheng. When the moon went over Dongshan, Xu Yi and his party finally arrived at the place.
Xu Yiman thought that he would have to rest for a day at the mountain gate before he could go through the entry procedures. Unexpectedly, after he presented the official edict and transfer order, the Jeju Chief Selection Office directly sent personnel to help him complete the process.
After the members of the Electoral Hall left, an assistant officer named Fang in the Staff Council received him, led him to a mountain called "Zangyou", and gave him a token and several tokens that could replicate the token. The jade token with authority summoned a team of servants. Pointing to the leader, a man named Liu Chang, he introduced that this was the servant assigned to Zangyou Peak.
After the introduction, the official surnamed Fang said, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb your Lord's rest. If you have anything to do, you can always give me instructions." After saying this, he said goodbye and left.
Over the years of practice, he has traveled to many places. He did not feel uncomfortable adapting to the change of place, and he was not too excited. At that moment, he burned three authority jade tablets and handed them to Dong Xinchang, Qin Shousheng, Pan Meiren, and He pointed out that Pan Meiren was the general manager of the mountain gate and asked Liu Chang to work as a handyman. If anything happened, he could look to Pan Meiren to take charge, so he went to rest in the cave.
After receiving Xu Yi's assignment, Pan Meiren was trembling with excitement. When he looked at Dong Xinchang and Qin Shousheng again, he wanted to raise his neck to the sky.
Dong Xinchang and Qin Shousheng looked at each other and did not look at Pan Meiren at all. Their eyes followed Xu Yi who was hiding in the mountain gate, and they could not return to their senses for a long time.
The two of them couldn't understand why Xu Yi would hand over such a powerful managerial position to Pan Meiren, who only knew how to cheat and cheat. It was really frustrating to be stepped on by such a villain.
While feeling depressed, Dong and Qin began to reflect on themselves. Are they still too reserved and not as good at licking as Pan?
The two of them had always been arguing with Pan Meiren in front of Xu Yi, so much so that they had forgotten that Pan Meiren's cultivation was completely ruined.
Xu Yi reused Pan Meiren without giving it too much thought. It was just a matter of balance.
However, Pan Meiren did not care about the depression of Dong Xinchang and Qin Shousheng. Once he had the power, he gave the order. He first ordered Liu Chang to take him to familiarize himself with the mountain gate, and then arranged the daily sweeping and rotating duties. He pointed out the two smallest caves to Dong Xinchang and Qin Shousheng, which made them blush with anger, but they did not dare to quarrel with Xu Yi for this trivial matter.
After officially taking up his new role as Chief of Staff, Xu Yi found that his long-lost ordinary days had finally come.
This is really a sinecure job, unimaginably idle, with no responsibilities and tasks, but the pay is pretty good, with a monthly salary of thirty wish beads.
Thirty wish beads are enough to successfully promote a monk who has experienced a perfect calamity to Ruofan level.
It's just that when people reach a certain high position, their horizons will always increase. If Xu Yi was given 30 wishing beads every month when he was a senior, he would definitely be so happy that he couldn't find any clues.
Now, he has achieved the third level of cultivation, and he can be regarded as a third-level official. He has a net worth of 6,000 wish beads and only 30 wish beads, so it is inevitable that he will not be noticed.
Although the treatment was not impressive, he really liked the peace.
There are nearly a hundred staff officers like him in the entire Staff Council, and the entire Jeju Council of Elders only has more than thirty elders, so there are no vacancies at all.
To put it bluntly, he was assigned to the CPPCC. If the opportunity is good, he can be a secretary-general for a big leader. If the opportunity is not good, he will continue to retire in the CPPCC position.
Xu Yi had experienced too many bad things, and his mentality had been calmed down a long time ago. When he first arrived, he originally planned to make a short-term plan, but he did not expect that once he entered the officialdom, he could not avoid socializing and socializing.
In the first month of his arrival, he spent most of his time welcoming and escorting people there. Since he is an official, connections are always important.
Even the frustrated people who have made it to the CPPCC are working hard to weave various relationships. Xu Yi's name may not be small in Zhongshan Mansion, but in Zhongxiang Fairy City under the leadership of Jeju, it is too lonely. Lost in silence.
But people in the officialdom, especially those who have reached a certain position, will never look down upon those who have reached the same position as themselves.
Therefore, even though Xu Yi was new here, colleagues came to visit almost all day long, and he also received various invitations throughout the day.
Some of these invitations are purely for eating, singing, building relationships, and creating scenes.
And there are also some who help others stand up and stand up for the table. They get into the CPPCC. Although they sit on the bench, they are still third-level officials. Their positions are not low and they always have a certain amount of heat.
Therefore, when encountering local official entanglements, it is inevitable that a certain colleague in the Staff Council will be used for leverage. In order to brighten the atmosphere and create a scene, the colleague invites several third-level officials to come and stand up. The countertop is perfectly normal.
On such occasions, after eating and drinking, you can always get as many as fifty or sixty, as few as twenty or thirty wish beads.
At first, Xu Yi was secretly shocked, but as time passed, he got used to it and understood.
After all, this is still a hierarchical world, with different scenery at different altitudes and different lives at different levels.
Two months later, Xu Yi finally became familiar with the people in the Staff Council. He had a good understanding of human nature and was willing to please them. For a while, he also gained a good reputation.
But after all, he was not a person willing to dawdle. After understanding the officialdom ecology in which he lived, he planned to officially make a break with the past state.
