Chapter 618: Chapter 312: New Boss and New Life, and also Starting a New Chapter!_2

The Apostle Committee’s public name is the ’Security Bureau Administration’, surrounded by strict guards, a place ordinary people would steer clear of upon reading the sign.

According to Li Xingyue, after Lin Xun joined the ’Apostle Committee’, he would continue his undercover life, only now he would be overseen not by Li Xingyue, but by a bigwig at headquarters.

His female superior would return to Wencheng after settling his initiation into the committee and continue her duties in the Intelligence Team.

Lin Xun was very curious about who this bigwig was, but his female superior deliberately kept him in suspense, only saying that he would know when they met.

Passing through the layers of guards, the two smoothly entered the headquarters building.

Lin Xun noticed that the comings and goings were all dressed in formal attire, a far cry from the casual dress code of the Wencheng Intelligence Team.

His female superior was still in a formal suit and skirt, entirely appropriate for such a setting. He, on the other hand, was casually dressed, which was somewhat conspicuous.

Li Xingyue seemed exceedingly familiar with the headquarters, leading him into the elevator and swiping a card to go directly to the 15th floor.

After reaching the fifteenth floor, they entered another elevator and once again swiped the card to reach the top floor— the 25th.

Lin Xun had a hunch that anyone who could work on the top floor of the headquarters had to be a big shot among big shots.

He wondered what kind of person this new boss would be.

Li Xingyue treated him extraordinarily well. If Lu Caiyi was the favorite of the martial arts team, then Lin Xun was the darling of the Intelligence Team.

If he suddenly had a strict and harsh superior, Lin Xun suspected he would find it difficult to adjust.

The two arrived at an office door. The secretary outside greeted Li Xingyue warmly.

The secretary lightly knocked on the door. After a response came from a middle-aged man inside, the secretary opened the door, inviting them in.

Behind the desk were two sets of redwood bookshelves, with a bright red flag hung between them.

A sturdy middle-aged man dressed in a black suit was staring intently at him.

The middle-aged man was quite handsome, and his expression was relatively gentle, but for some reason, he gave off an inexplicable sense of distance.

As if you knew this person was charming and easygoing, with no hostility towards you, but that was the amicable posture cultivated from being in a high position for a long time, expressing the natural sympathy of a superior to an inferior.

His true power was revealed against those enemies you had to look up to.

While the middle-aged man was sizing him up, Lin Xun was also observing this new boss.

To his surprise, he noticed the faint resemblance between this new boss and Li Xingyue.

"Could this be my another father-in-law, or no, she’s my boss’s father?"

Lin Xun couldn’t help but wonder.

"You must be Lin Xun. Xingyue has mentioned you many times... Indeed, you’re a promising young man."

The middle-aged man stood up, shook his hand, smiled warmly and said, "I’m Li Long."

"We are very pleased to have you join us. The council needs energetic young people like you."

While shaking hands with his new boss, Lin Xun, still confused about his situation, could only muster a standard bureaucratic response and vaguely said:

"Thank you for your high regard, sir. It’s an honor for me to join the organization and the council. I will strive to live up to your trust, the organization’s expectations, and the people’s confidence in me..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Li Xingyue, standing beside them, couldn’t help but smile and interrupt him, "Lin Xun, it’s rare to see you so serious. Let me introduce..."

"This is the Vice Chairman of the council, my uncle, Li Long."

"And this is my capable assistant and the member of the Intelligence Team...no, he should now be referred to as Senior Councillor, Councillor Lin Xun."

Lin Xun’s eyes grew wide.

The Vice Chairman of the ’Apostle Committee’ was the female boss’s uncle? And it seemed that they were very close?

No wonder Ye Xiaoqi once told him that her backing was extremely solid, with an intimidatingly high-profile background.

The council had three leaders: one Chairman and two Vice Chairmen. They were the highest leaders of the council and the supreme leaders of the official Apostles.

The three chairmen were not honorary chairmen. They had real power, enjoying veto rights over all council proposals.

"Xingyue, I’m very happy with Councillor Lin Xun. You have great taste."

Li Long smiled slightly at his female superior, implying something.

Li Xingyue seemed to be taken aback by something, her face color changed a bit, then she swiftly changed the topic and started explaining the matters of joining the council to Lin Xun.

With respect to him becoming a senior councilor, the fact he joined the organization not long ago and lacked the experience was not a big issue.

The only, and indeed the most critical problem, was his special status.

A ’12th Apostle’ had just been promoted in the New World. The fact that a council had a new senior councilor with an unknown background would easily raise suspicions.

The final decision made by the administration was to grant him the status and treatment of a senior councilor, but they would not announce the addition of a new senior councilor, and there would be no record of him in the councilor files.

Lin Xun, still in his undercover period, could not participate in the official council, nor could he propose or vote.

Only when he completed his task and returned to the organization could his identity be made public, and he be officially granted the status of a senior councilor.

This move was the administration’s safety precaution for undercover members and the greatest protection for him.

His file would be transferred to the ’Kunlun’, the military branch under the ’Apostle Committee’, and he would become an ordinary cruiser.

Once the ’Rectification Council’ of New World assigned him a parish, Lin Xun could go there and begin his work.

Lin Xun didn’t have any objections to this arrangement. As a former wage worker, he always hated meetings, so avoiding dull council meetings suited him just fine.
