Then let them offer their loyalty!

Soon, only Tan Huimin, Tan Huimin's personal secretary, remained in the entire lounge.

This woman had been taking care of Qiu Tu since the beginning. But because she was an ordinary person, she was always pushed to the periphery and couldn't get close at all.

Now that everyone else has left, she can finally get a good look at Qiu Tu.

When Tan Huimin came to Qiu Tu's side, she held Qiu Tu's hand, her eyes slightly red.

Qiu Tu looked at her and gently comforted her, "I'm fine. These are just minor injuries."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin felt even more distressed.

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Your leg is broken, how can this be considered a minor injury?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled nonchalantly, "As long as it's not a broken third leg, it's just a minor injury."

Hearing Qiu Tu's inappropriate words, Tan Huimin's fair oval face blushed slightly, and then she spat at Qiu Tu, "Sir, you're really bad. You're injured like this, and you still have the mind to make jokes like this."

Tan Huimin was already very beautiful, and when she was in tears, she became even more charming.

So every smile and frown made Qiu Tu feel a tickle in his heart.

He had been holding it in for seven days, and had been under immense pressure for seven days. Now that he's suddenly relaxed, he's starting to let his mind wander...

He scanned Tan Huimin's ample bosom, his gaze almost reaching inside her white shirt.

After a moment, Qiu Tu coughed and said, "Remove your armor!"

"Huh?" Tan Huimin was stunned for a moment, almost not understanding what Qiu Tu meant.

It wasn't until she saw Qiu Tu's gaze lingering on her breasts that she blushed and understood Qiu Tu's thoughts.

She hesitated for a moment, then said in a voice barely audible, "Sir, you...you're injured right now. Isn't that inconvenient?"

Hearing Tan Huimin's words, Qiu Tu shook his head indifferently, "I am a second-tier Cataclysm. These injuries will not affect my performance at all."

"Besides... I'm just checking your work over the past seven days."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tan Huimin's face turned as red as if it could bleed.

She glanced shyly at Qiu Tu, but in the end, she obediently unbuttoned her shirt.

As the shirt was unbuttoned, the next second, the deep cleavage encased in a floral bra appeared before Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly, and he continued.

"Unload again!"

"Unload again!"

"Hiss~ Driving without a mask is still the best."

"Come here, let me inspect your work!"

Because Qiu Tu was injured and unable to move around easily, he became the commander and began directing Tan Huimin to move around on him.

He could only silently support Tan Huimin from behind, allowing her to perform her work even better...

.....

Perhaps because for the previous 7 days, I had been in a life-or-death situation and had not been able to get a proper rest.

Perhaps... Tan Huimin was too serious about her work report last night.

Qiu Tu slept until noon before waking up.

After getting up, Qiu Tu was greeted with another round of checks and greetings.

This morning, news of Qiu Tusheng's return spread throughout the entire Investigation Department.

Along with this news, Qiu Tu actually completed the remaining tasks single-handedly, ensuring the success of the suicide squad's operation!

Thus... Qiu Tugui, a high-ranking official, risked his life to participate in high-risk missions; during the mission, he let his subordinates go first while he stayed behind to cover the rear; the "legendary story" of completing the remaining tasks single-handedly began to circulate in various departments of the Investigation Bureau.

If Qiu Tu's reputation for being protective, generous, considerate of his subordinates, and having a powerful background and ability was merely something that made everyone in the Investigation Department know and respect him, then this incident has given him a legendary aura!

Therefore, when they learned that Qiu Tu had been seriously injured and was recuperating on the 12th floor, almost everyone in the lower and middle floors who was qualified to see Qiu Tu came to visit him.

This kept Qiu Tu busy almost all afternoon.

However... Qiu Tu didn't want to see them the most. Instead... he wanted to see Tang Feifei.

Because only by seeing Tang Feifei will everything he has done have any value: only then will his deputy director position truly be secured!

Only then could he carry out his next series of plans, and... his deal with Tang Feifei!

And so Qiu Tu thought of her constantly.

Just as they were about to come down, Tang Feifei finally arrived.

Carrying Su Xiaowan and a formal appointment letter signed by the state, she walked lightly with her long, slender legs to Qiu Tu's lounge.

Given their relationship, there's no need for such superficial things.

So, upon seeing Qiu Tu, Tang Feifei didn't say anything, but directly said, "Congratulations, Director Qiu."

"You completed the suicide squad mission so successfully this time, which has made the department and the state extremely satisfied with you."

"Therefore, I brought with me the official appointment from the state."

"From this moment forward, you are officially the Deputy Director of Operations of the New Territories City Investigation Department. You will be responsible for the work of frontline departments such as the Public Security Department and the Special Operations Department."

"And at my request, you will also be in charge of the Political Department."

After speaking, Tang Feifei took the official appointment document stamped with the state seal from Su Xiaowan's hand and handed it to Qiu Tu.

After accepting the appointment with both hands, Qiu Tu finally felt at ease.

'Finally... I've become a deputy director!'

'I never imagined I'd climb to this position one day...'

Thinking this, at the same time, Qiu Tu also felt the cataclysmic power in his body begin to slowly boil, and his body became hotter and hotter, as if some kind of strange change was about to occur!

'Is this... about to advance to a higher rank?'

---------

Two chapters, 10,000 words each! Requesting your guaranteed monthly votes (mid-month minimum)! Thank you!

Chapter 363 Advancing to the Third-Tier Cataclysm! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Qiu Tu did a quick calculation, based on his experiences over this period.

The section chief level corresponds to the first-tier Cataclysm.

The section chief level corresponds to the second-order Cataclysm.

The Director level corresponds to the Tier 3 Cataclysm.

The Speaker of the State Legislature level corresponds to the fourth-tier Cataclysm.

A deputy position is the entry level, while a full-time position is the pinnacle. Advancement in between depends entirely on oneself.

If you have time to improve, you become stronger; if you don't have time to improve, you become the weakest among your peers.

Therefore, considering this, now that I've been promoted to deputy director, I should indeed become a Tier 3 Cataclysm.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced at Tang Feifei, who was still sitting by his bed, explaining the various benefits and precautions for Qiu Tu's promotion in accordance with the shelter's requirements.

Then... he temporarily suppressed the excitement of advancing.

Although he trusted Tang Feifei, Tang Feifei had also proven to Qiu Tu during this time that she was a trustworthy person.

But... as I said before, Tang Feifei is different from other women.

Other women are independent individuals, but Tang Feifei was marked by the Tang family and the Fengtian faction from birth.

For her, this was both a help and a shackle.

In many things, she has no choice but to do them.

Therefore... Qiu Tu can trust her in many things, but there are certain core secrets that he cannot let her know.

Just like Qiu Tu's path to catastrophe, this is something Tang Feifei absolutely must not know.

After all, Qiu Tu's path to disaster is "politics," which is both an advantage and a fatal flaw.

If others find out about this, they will try every means to prevent his promotion, or even try to demote him, which will affect his career development.

Qiu Tu had long ago discovered this drawback of his disaster response approach, so he has been trying to develop as many systems as possible—for example, he has positions in the security department as backups.

For example... establishing your own system.

"The above are the benefits and powers enjoyed by the deputy director."

At this moment, after reading the duties and benefits of the deputy director, Tang Feifei put down the document in her hand and looked at Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu snapped out of his daze and looked at her.

Today, the New Territories enjoys a rare good day. It has probably been raining on and off for several days, and even the sky is much clearer.

Sunlight streamed through the window, gently bathing Tang Feifei in her uniform, as if draping her in a golden armor.

This made Qiu Tu want to shout "Resign!" again.

However, he knew it was time to get down to business, so he stopped his daydreaming, straightened up, and said with a serious expression, "Thank you for the shelter's trust. I feel the state's high regard for us, and thank you for the director's guidance."

"I will definitely continue to work hard to help the Director manage the Detective Agency well."

After finishing these platitudes, Qiu Tu leaned back on the bed with a sense of relief, then looked at Tang Feifei and asked, "Feifei, how's the plan going?"

"When are you going to make room for me?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei: .....

She glared at Qiu Tu, "One second you said you'd help me manage the Investigation Bureau, and the next second you're preparing to usurp the throne."

"They've really given up on pretending."

Qiu Tu said with a smile, "I've already paid such a high price, can't I urge you a little?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei took a deep breath.

She looked at Qiu Tu, her wheat-colored face showing a complicated expression. "The progress is a bit worse than I expected."

"But it shouldn't take too long. It won't affect your plans."

"You've just been promoted to deputy director, so it's impossible for you to be promoted again immediately."

"So, it won't do you any harm if I take up a spot for a little longer."

After speaking, she paused, her gaze lowered slightly, and her voice softened, "However... no matter what, I still want to thank you."

“I know that many people would be interested in this deal, and I'm not the only option.”

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "What's the big deal?"

"We're like brothers, close friends. How could I forget you if something good happens?"

Tang Feifei's expression remained unchanged upon hearing Qiu Tu's strange words.

Having spent a lot of time with Qiu Tu, she had gotten used to his sudden, unserious remarks, and she would just let them go in one ear and out the other.

So she continued naturally, "Even so, I will still remember your favor."

"If there's anything else you need me to do, feel free to contact me anytime."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Really? Then... I want to go to the places I've been before..."

Tang Feifei: ....

Before Qiu Tu could finish speaking, she stood up without any change in expression and said, "I can tell you're not feeling well right now. Take some time to rest."

"If anything happens, just call me."

"The deputy director's order will be officially issued shortly. You are free to take over the various operational departments at any time."

After saying that, Tang Feifei walked with her long, slender legs to Qiu Tu's lounge, pushed open the door, and went out.

Behind her, Qiu Tu crossed his arms behind his head and leaned against the headboard. Looking at Tang Feifei's back, he clicked his tongue and muttered, "You don't keep your word. You can't even fulfill such a small request of mine."

"It seems I can only wait until I recover from my injuries before I can kill you seven times over."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's lewd words, Tang Feifei stumbled and staggered.

This made her wheat-colored face even redder, and she bit her lip, looking embarrassed and annoyed.
