Let them offer their loyalty!

As Zhen Lie spoke, he couldn't help but laugh, "And to think... I didn't expect that Councilor Ouyang would actually show up."

"So, I tried nominating Qiu Tu as well. And then... you guys all jumped out."

"Good grief, I've been in the department for so long, and I've never seen such a scene."

"Which got me thinking during the meeting, what on earth goes on in Dai Yukang's head? He's thousands of miles away from the Sanctuary, how did he calculate all of this?"

Hearing Zhen Lie's words, Meng Sanzhai and Zhou Jingfu exchanged glances, somewhat surprised.

They had heard of Dai Yukang and knew that he did very well on the secret front, having been praised multiple times.

Moreover, he was not like the direct descendants of the factions sent to the Planning Area to "gild their resumés," such as Yan Chen, Ye Mingfeng, and Tang Feifei.

Perhaps because his way of doing things differed from the "Iron-Blood Faction," he wasn't part of the core group that the faction focused on cultivating, giving him a bit of a "blue-collar" vibe among factions.

Even though he was only in his forties, he had already worked in the Security Department of three different cities.

In every city's Security Department, he started from scratch, building it up and then fostering its growth, proving his exceptional ability.

His position as the head of the Security Department granted him the military rank of Senior Colonel; the recent promotion to Director of Dongye State Security Bureau and the responsibility over the secret front of over a dozen cities in Dongye State also related to this experience.

So, when they learned that it was he who had asked Zhen Lie to nominate Qiu Tu, Zhou Jingfu and Meng Sanzhai's regard for Qiu Tu immediately escalated several levels.

And considering that someone as seemingly inconsequential as Qiu Tu had drawn the attention of so many capable individuals and important figures...

For a while, the office atmosphere quieted down, as the three of them reminisced about Qiu Tu's credentials, searching for something special about him.

After a moment, Meng Sanzhai straightened up and spoke, "Right... who invited Councilor Ouyang?"

"Is the 'Liberal Democratic Faction' also interested in Qiu Tu?"

At his question, Zhen Lie and Zhou Jingfu's eyes also showed a hint of confusion.

Clearly, according to Qiu Tu's credentials and intelligence, he had no connection to the 'Liberal Democratic Faction' whatsoever, right?

So the three exchanged glances, feeling that the mystery surrounding Qiu Tu was only getting thicker...

They felt as if Qiu Tu was being favored by some real big shot, who had specifically chosen him...

After all, with Councilor Ouyang's status, unless there was a nomination from a faction leader and a certain exchange of interests, it would be impossible to get him to act...

...

Meanwhile.

Xinjie City.

Qiu Tu stood in his new office, with a lollipop in his mouth, looking at the bright but slightly shabby lollipop and mocking himself,

"Back to the Administrative Office I go, and I don't even have a secretary anymore."

"It's like going back to the stone age, huh~~"

"Wonder when I can get back to the Political Department."

Thinking this, Qiu Tu crossed his hands behind his head and idled away some time.

Just as he was slacking off, suddenly, his communicator on the desk started buzzing.

Without much care, Qiu Tu reached for it and took a look.

He found that he had received a message.

The message was from Tang Feifei and it had just two words, "Done."

At the sight of those words, Qiu Tu jumped up in surprise, staring at the screen of the communicator with joy!

He was just about to call Tang Feifei to talk about the specific situation.

But right at that moment, his other specially made communicator also rang.

Qiu Tu picked it up curiously and saw.

This time it was a message from Qin Shuman, "You're locked in as Head of the Political Department, Director Dai wants to meet with you..."

Qiu Tu:??

Qiu Tu was no greenhorn.

The first half of the sentence seemed unrelated to the second half, but at such a sensitive time, it could lead to speculation—as if it was suggesting that Qiu Tu's appointment as Head of the Political Department was to his credit.

'What's going on?'

Before Qiu Tu could figure it out, another message from Qin Shuman came in, "The Director says he can tell you the real reason behind your promotion."
