Chapter 617 - 312: New Boss and New Life, and also Starting a New - !_1
"Lin Xun, congratulations!"
"Congratulations on your promotion~"
"That’s the headquarters, a place I can’t even dream of."
"Cheers!"
In the hotel’s private room, everyone raise their glasses for a toast. Not only are there apostles from the Intelligence Team, but also Wang Zong and Lu Caiyi from the Armed Forces Group.
"Lin Xun, I remember when I first brought you into the organization. In just a few short months, you’ve been transferred to the Yunjing headquarters..."
Ye Xiaoqi, her face flushed from drinking, patted Lin Xun’s shoulder and remarked nostalgically.
The female superior only announced Lin Xun’s transfer to the Yunjing headquarters, not revealing his appointment to the ’Apostle Committee’.
After all, the leap from a local team member to a committee member is too astonishing. Unless he had achieved great merit, it would be difficult to explain the leap.
Even the announcement of his appointment at the Yunjing headquarters caused his colleagues to express their envy and admiration, comparing it to a rocketing rise in his career.
Everyone sent their blessings to Lin Xun, who was to be transferred to Yunjing the next day, and the celebration continued late into the night.
After relieving himself, Wang Zong was about to leave the hotel, when he noticed Lu Caiyi still in the private room.
The girl in white was staring blankly at the wine glass on the table.
As someone who has been through similar matters, he knew instantly what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun was now an undercover agent, about to join the ’Apostle Committee’ as a member, gearing up for a bigger battlefield.
Maybe he would be sent to Yunjing, or perhaps somewhere else, but he definitely wouldn’t stay in Wencheng.
The damn kid had kept things ambiguous with Yi Yi, and their relationship was yet to be settled.
They were already like this when they were in Wencheng, with him being transferred far away, would there be any chance for them to continue?
"Yi Yi..."
"Team Leader Wang!"
Wang Zong was about to say something comforting, but the girl interrupted him.
"Team Leader Wang, can you write me a recommendation letter?"
"I... I want to go to Yunjing... I want to join ’Kunlun’."
Wang Zong was immediately dumbfounded.
’Kunlun’ is a high-level military organization under the Apostle Committee. Shangguan Yu, who had teamed up with them to secure the Easter Egg Bookmark, was a Cruiser of Kunlun.
Compared to the Heavenly Punishment forces in the provincial capitals, Kunlun is of a higher level and a top-notch military institution.
It’s the frontline in the battle with the New World, and also the institution with the highest death rate in official organizations.
For anyone aiming at being promoted to a member, it’s far more beneficial to join Kunlun than to gain experience locally.
If you can survive in Kunlun, you don’t have to worry about merit for promotion. Many committee members come from Kunlun.
Given Lu Caiyi’s abilities, she indeed has the qualifications to join Kunlun. But...it’s too dangerous!
Kunlun has always had a high mortality rate, with too many apostles sacrificing their lives.
Wang Zong has always treated Lu Caiyi like a niece, even training her as his successor.
After his retirement, he would recommend her to the organization, and the position of the head of the Wencheng Armed Forces was guaranteed to be hers.
Why would a young, frail girl not want to be the head of the Armed Forces, and instead go to that brutal battlefield?
Yi Yi must be trying to keep up with that damn kid, Lin Xun...
She must really want my support now, but how can I be at ease letting her join Kunlun?
Wang Zong is undeniably loyal to the organization. If the organization asked him to join Kunlun, he would report to Yunjing this evening without a second thought. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
But when Lu Caiyi said she wanted to join Kunlun, his immediate reaction was absolute refusal!
He wanted to refuse her. As her superior and the leader of the Armed Forces, as long as he didn’t recommend her to the organization, even if Lu Caiyi insisted, the probability of her joining ’Kunlun’ would be very slim.
Wang Zong opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But the girl’s gaze was firm as she looked at him, her gaze filled with hope, and even a hint of pleading.
He grabbed the bottle of red wine from the table, raised his head and drank it all.
Wang Zong wiped the wine from his mouth, waved his hand as if he was admitting defeat, and said, "Go, go..."
"Thank you, Team Leader!"
Wang Zong sent away the jubilant girl. He was left alone in the private room, pouring one bottle of wine after another.
"Damn kid, if you dare to let Yi Yi down, I’ll risk my life... damn it, I won’t be able to beat him even if I risk my life."
Lin Xun, who had drunk too much, bid farewell to all his colleagues and also politely declined his female superior’s offer to escort him home.
Just as he was preparing to take a taxi home, he happened to run into Lu Caiyi at the hotel entrance.
In his memory, he had already seen Lu Caiyi off, and it wasn’t until Little White appeared in front of him again did he realize that he was really drunk.
Lu Caiyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Of course, Little White, why are you so slow, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
With his stubborn personality, he wouldn’t admit that he was drunk and casually replied.
"I just need to get you safely into a cab, then I can rest easy and go home... belch."
A taxi happened to drive by. Lin Xun stopped it and pushed Little White in without saying a word.
He felt that the girl seemed to have something to say to him, but he didn’t care much given how groggy he was from the alcohol.
It wasn’t until he had watched the taxi drive away did Lin Xun slap his forehead, realizing that he should have given the girl a... promise?
"Never mind, next time. After all, it’s not like I won’t be coming back to Wencheng."
-----------------
The next day, Lin Xun and his female superior boarded a flight together and arrived in Yunjing.
Looking at the towering building in front of him, he thought of the shabby three-story building of the Intelligence Team and couldn’t help but feel that the headquarters really lived up to its reputation – it was both wealthy and grand.
