Chapter 74 Rejection!

After Shen Xin left.

Tu Yuan lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He wondered if Shen Xin truly harbored ill intentions towards him.

What is the motive?!

As for targeting Zhang Tao, I'm just Zhang Tao's assistant police officer, and I haven't officially shed my probationary status yet.

Dealing with himself would have absolutely no effect on Zhang Tao.

On the contrary, it will only provoke a strong reaction from Zhang Tao.

After all, Zhang Tao's previous assistant officer had just been dismissed.

Now that Tu Yuan has taken over this position, he is being targeted again.

That's a blatant slap in Zhang Tao's face.

From this perspective, weighing the pros and cons, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

He hasn't offended Shen Xin recently.

If there was one, it was the day Ruan Xueqing came to the police station to find him.

Could it be because of Ruan Xueqing?!

Tu Yuan felt that this possibility was also unlikely.

After all, he and Ruan Xueqing were extremely close back in Dongzhou University, but Shen Xin never took him seriously at all.

Or perhaps the other person was certain that there was absolutely no possibility of them being together.

Shen Xinlai is now the deputy director of Zhenghe Police Station, whose rank and position are far higher than mine.

Given Shen Xin's arrogance, he probably wouldn't even consider himself a threat.

At most, he can be seen as a nobody who is dependent on Zhang Tao's power.

After this possibility was ruled out.

Tu Yuan frowned, unable to figure out Shen Xin's motive for a moment.

Or perhaps he had inadvertently offended Shen Xin?

"I am now Zhang Tao's assistant officer. No matter why Shen Xin wants to deal with me, he has to consider Zhang Tao's feelings."

Thinking of this, Tu Yuan felt a little relieved.

Tu Yuan then continued organizing the materials at hand.

After organizing the materials, I went to Zhang Tao's office.

The documents were placed on Zhang Tao's desk.

Zhang Tao wasn't at the office at the moment.

Zhang Tao hasn't spent much time at the institute these past few days.

The main reason is the murder of Zheng Hai and Ma Xingbao.

There's also the interaction of relationships.

Having broken through to the second level of martial arts master, Zhang Tao naturally hoped to be transferred to a better position.

He didn't want to get promoted, but the power he held would be less than that of a police station chief.

Having little power means having little say, and having little say means having few resources.

Limited resources lead to slower progress in martial arts, which in turn affects subsequent promotions and advancements—a chain reaction.

After putting the documents away, Tu Yuan left Zhang Tao's office.

I looked at the office door with the sign for the deputy director's office hanging not far away.

The door was open.

Upon seeing this, Tu Yuan took a deep breath.

Then he walked steadily toward the office.

Upon reaching the door, Tu Yuan did not go in immediately.

Instead, he stood at the door and gently knocked on the door.

"Deputy Director Shen! Do you have a moment now? I'm done with my work!"

Shen Xin held a stack of documents in his hand, looking down at them, occasionally making marks or annotations on them with a pen.

He didn't even look up when he saw Tu Yuan approaching.

He simply said, "Sit!"

Tu Yuan entered the office and sat down on the reception sofa placed against the wall not far from the door.

Tu Yuan sat upright and remained silent.

Shen Xin was also looking at that stack of documents, and the only sound in the office was the scratching sound of Shen Xin's pen tip drawing on the paper.

Time passed by, second by second.

Tu Yuan's expression remained calm and composed.

He knew in his heart that Shen Xin was trying to intimidate him.

In this situation, most people would gradually become more nervous as time goes by, and might start making wild guesses in their minds.

When you start talking to your boss, you are prone to making mistakes in your speech due to panic and nervousness.

More than ten minutes passed.

Shen Xin slightly raised his eyes.

Tu Yuan remained calm and composed.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He had never paid much attention to Tu Yuan before, and in his mind, Tu Yuan was just a poor but ordinary guy with a bit of luck.

In his view, such people often have limited knowledge and understanding due to family reasons.

But after meeting him today, he realized that Tu Yuan did not seem to fit the image he had of him.

He learned this trick from his father, who used it frequently when he was in the student union at Dongzhou University.

It works almost every time it's used.

But today, it didn't work properly with Tu Yuan.

Seeing that his first move had no effect.

Shen Xin put down the documents in his hand.

Then he stood up, a smile on his face: "Tu Yuan! How's it going being Zhang's assistant officer lately?!"

Looking at Shen Xin's rather friendly smile, Tu Yuan became even more cautious.

He smiled and said, "Deputy Director Shen, you've almost adapted to this job!"

Tu Yuan's smile was distant, and his tone carried a clear sense of boundaries.

Shen Xin's expression remained unchanged as he sat down on the single reception sofa to Tu Yuan's left with a smile, leaning back.

"Speaking of which, we are both alumni of Dongzhou University. I am your senior, and now I am your boss."

"This has to be called fate!"

Shen Xin finished speaking, without waiting for Tu Yuan to reply.

He immediately added, "Tu Yuan, I know you've had a tough time too."

"Your family isn't well-off, so you must have worked incredibly hard to get where you are today."

"But to be honest with you, with your qualifications, it will be extremely difficult to achieve anything in martial arts and attain a higher social status without the help of a benefactor!"

"I believe you know this in your heart. Many people in the institute come from families better off than you, and they've been stuck at the first and second levels of martial arts training for so many years!"

"I know Director Zhang admires you a lot, but even if he does, there's not much he can do to help you with your martial arts!"

"I have a female friend who admires you. She can help you in martial arts and even in your career. This is a great opportunity, and I hope you can seize it."

At this point, Tu Yuan understood why Shen Xin had come to him today.

Hu Jiawen truly lives up to her reputation as the daughter of the mayor.

Yesterday at Jixiangju, Zhao Nana and Gong Yuanyuan did not reveal their identities to Hu Jiawen at all.

But just one night later, Hu Jiawen not only discovered his identity.

They even got Shen Xin, the deputy director of the Zhenghe Police Station, to intervene.

Shen Xin's words just now first mentioned that the two were alumni, and then that the two were a leader and a subordinate.

It seems like they're trying to build a closer relationship, but in reality, they're subtly warning Tu Yuan.

It's important to understand the difference in status between the two people.

Then, from Tu Yuan's perspective, they said that Tu Yuan had it tough.

It was actually just setting the stage for the big promise in the last sentence.

If it were someone else, after being left out by Shen Xin for more than ten minutes and hearing what Shen Xin said, they would have been in trouble.

They had probably already lost their composure, and at the same time, they were tempted by the promises Shen Xin made.

It can provide assistance in martial arts and also help one's career.

With Deputy Director Shen Xin acting as a go-between, this opportunity could also help to get closer to Shen Xin.

With so many benefits laid out before them, it's truly tempting.

At the same time, these words, when considered in reverse, are also a kind of warning.

Since others have the ability to help one's career, do they also have the ability to hinder one's career?

The outcome—whether they become friends or enemies—is left here.

Let Tu Yuan choose for himself.

Shen Xin remained calm and composed.

A smile with an inscrutable meaning was on his face.

He doesn't have that kind of obsession with women.

He didn't care that after Hu Jiawen had a relationship with him, she might end up sleeping with Tu Yuan again.

The number of men associated with Hu Jiawen is too many to count on one's fingers. One more Tu Yuan wouldn't make a difference, and one less Tu Yuan wouldn't make a difference either.

In his view, he had said all he could.

Moreover, Tu Yuan is a smart man.

They will definitely understand what choice to make.

Tu Yuan looked at Shen Xin and saw amusement, composure, and smugness in Shen Xin's eyes.

That look in his eyes seemed to regard him as a toy in the palm of one's hand.

Tu Yuan suddenly remembered what Ruan Xueqing had said before: her mother, Zheng Peiling, looked down on Shen Xin.

He also warned Ruan Xueqing to stay away from Shen Xin.

It is said that Shen Xin's family members are not upright in their conduct, and they may get into trouble sooner or later.

Shen Xin's behavior at this moment clearly reveals the family's values.

They spoke in a high-sounding manner, and on the surface it seemed like they were doing it for his own good.

In reality, they didn't offer any benefits at all; it was all empty promises, and it even carried a hidden threat or warning.

Moreover, Shen Xin's empty promises were against the rules.

How can it help one's career?

Such words should be said with great care even in private, but Shen Xin spoke without any restraint.

He actually said it in his own office, with the door open.

This shows that, in Shen Xin's view, this kind of thing is perfectly normal.

Shen Xin had long since lost any respect for the rules of the federal government.

How long can someone who has lost their sense of awe continue to act arrogantly?!

Tu Yuan's gaze at Shen Xin was somewhat unfocused.

In his view, Shen Xin may be successful now, but in a few years, that may not be the case!

"Deputy Director Shen!"

"I understand what you mean, but personally, I think that you have to walk your own path step by step, and eat your own food one bite at a time."

.

"It's possible to suffer from indigestion if you're fed by someone else."

After saying that, Tu Yuan stood up abruptly: "Deputy Director Shen, you're busy with official duties, so I won't take up any more of your time!"

After saying that, Tu Yuan left Shen Xin's office.

After Tu Yuan left, Shen Xin finally came to his senses.

What did he just hear?!

Not only did Tu Yuan refuse, he even lectured me instead!

Especially when they say they're busy with official duties!

This is clearly a veiled criticism that he's neglecting his duties and instead getting involved in things unrelated to work.

Shen Xin's face instantly darkened.

He couldn't stand that someone he had never taken seriously dared to speak to him like that.

Moreover, he has already spoken to Hu Jiawen.

Within a week, Tu Yuan had come to them of his own accord.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin looked at the door of his office.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"A peasant! I'm giving you face, but you don't appreciate it! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

"Just you wait, there will be a day when you'll be begging me on your knees!"

Tu Yuan returned to the central command office.

Continue organizing the materials that Zhang Tao might need in the next few days.

However, he was thinking about his own affairs.

He didn't expect Hu Jiawen to come to him so quickly, and even approach Shen Xin.

"This time, we've completely broken ties with Shen Xin!"

"But no matter what I say, as long as I don't agree, given Shen Xin's character, he definitely won't let me off the hook."

"After all, how could someone as proud as him allow someone as petty as myself to suddenly reject him?"

"Between Shen Xin and me, if he really wants to deal with me, I'm at a huge disadvantage!"

"Those who are in a disadvantaged position have an abundance of methods at their disposal to deal with those in power."

Thinking of this, Tu Yuan felt a little heavy-hearted.

The main problem was that he had very few cards to play against Shen Xin.

Of course, he wasn't afraid either.

If all else fails, he can seek help from Zhao Nana and Gong Yuanyuan.

He was actually caught in an undeserved misfortune.

However, there was trouble involved. Going to see two women would make Tu Yuan somewhat embarrassed.

If you can handle it yourself, it's best to handle it yourself.

This is also a form of training for him.

After all, his goal is the pinnacle of the Federation.

To climb the ladder, it's impossible to avoid conflict with others.

In the future, there will definitely be similar situations where those who suffer high losses are suppressed.

If he can't even overcome this hurdle on his own, then what is there to talk about?

Tu Yuan's only worry was that Shen Xin might use some underhanded tactics.

For example, having someone outside injure him would disrupt his martial arts training.

If that's the case, then that's a real problem.

However, the probability of Shen Xin using this kind of Buddhist number is not high.

You should know that many federal government employees either pursue martial arts or become spiritual practitioners.

They all basically have practical skills to rely on.

Moreover, it is perfectly normal for so many people to have conflicts due to various interests.

Most of the conflicts and struggles in Beijing are still within the framework of the federal government's rules.

If there is a conflict, they will take advantage of their superior skills and resolve it secretly.

That federation was already in chaos.

However, the Federation is so large that there will always be people who use this method to deal with enemies.

Therefore, Tu Yuan felt that they still couldn't be careless.

After having dinner in the cafeteria, Tu Yuan returned home.

Today, Zhao Nana sent Tu Yuan the Zhihu account of Wang Shuanghe, the general manager in charge of distribution at Shengyun City Qinglong Pharmaceutical.

After returning home, Tu Yuan sent the other party a friend request.

The note also stated that it was introduced by Zhao Nana.

Of course, when the other person sees their friend request, they will also see a notification that Zhao Nana has sent an account notification.

After sending the friend request, I received a notification that the other party had accepted it shortly afterward.

Tu Yuan then greeted the other party briefly and introduced himself.

Perhaps because of Zhao Nana, Wang Shuanghe's reply seemed very polite.

They even proactively told Tu Yuan that if he wanted the various martial arts resources of the Qinglong Group in Qijing.

Just send him a message.

They even sent Tu Yuan a form.

The table was filled with things he could buy from the other party.

They have Azure Dragon Aohao potion, protective liquid... and even potions and pills specifically for martial arts practitioners.

However, the price is not cheap.

The price listed on the Qinglong Aohao medicine table is 35,000!

Compared to the 20,000 yuan price listed on Qinglong Network's sales channels, the price on this table is 10,000 yuan more expensive.

It nearly doubled.

Moreover, this is still following Wang Shuanghe's path.

If you go through a lower-level sales channel, the price will be even higher, at 60,000 Federal Dollars.

Previously, Tu Yuan didn't even have such a low-level channel!

However, while others would have to spend 30,000 to buy the Azure Dragon Potion from Wang Shuanghe, Tu Yuan only needed to pay 24,000 to buy a box of Azure Dragon No. 9 Potion.

This price is already considered a great deal for Tu Yuan.

Tu Yuan was overjoyed upon seeing this.

Indeed, having connections makes all the difference!
