In the inner city of Shen City, in the office of the deputy city lord Shen Jinghai, the young and talented secretary B hung his head and reported his work to Shen Jinghai with a look of self-blame.

"Lord Shock, that's what happened...... It was the incompetence of his subordinates who caused such a serious loss of property, and the problem that could be solved by a few thousand spirit stones wasted the family's 100,000 spirit stones. His subordinates are willing to bear all the blame for this. ”

Shen Jinghai sat behind the desk and looked at his secretary B without saying a word, which made the young man quickly break out in a cold sweat, and even began to regret why he had confessed so clearly to the leader.

If he didn't say it, who would have thought that there would be an evil trick of inviting idol groups to perform? Who could have known that the funds for the 100,000 spirit stones could have been avoided?

If he didn't say it, he would still be a great hero who was ordered to help the deputy city lord solve the problem, not a fool who caused the family's senseless losses.

However, as a young talent who graduated from the Shen Family Outer Courtyard with excellent grades, Secretary B knew very well that doing things unfavorably was just a matter of ability or luck, and concealing the true situation from the leader was a matter of principle. Especially in the face of secretarial work under direct supervision, it is an absolute taboo to conceal important information.

So even if he was stubborn and had all the skins, Secretary B honestly explained the situation.

Shen Jinghai was not annoyed when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he asked, "Do you think that if there were no 100,000 spirit stones to open the way, would it be possible for Shen Qingming to accept the invitation to perform commercially?" With her mentality towards the Shen family at that time, with her status as the champion of the Qingyun Dabi and the little princess of the Li family, would she care about the commercial performance fee of one or two thousand spirit stones? ”

Secretary B was stunned when he heard this.

"What's more, if you receive two thousand spirit stones and one hundred thousand spirit stones, the possibility of the other party going to the banquet is completely different, and we can't allow a little difference in this matter. What you do is not wrong, there is no room for cleverness in important things. ”

After speaking, Shen Jinghai waved his hand and signaled that Secretary B could go down.

And after Secretary B left, Shen Jinghai frowned slightly and let out a sigh.

Of course, things are not as simple as they seem, but there are some things that do not need to be known to the secretary.

The check for 100,000 spirit stones was not paid with public funds, but out of his own pocket, and this one almost emptied his investment income in the past two years.

However, it is a necessary expense.

The reason why things have developed to this point is, in the final analysis, that he has misunderstood the intentions of his superiors, and mistakenly thinks that the city lord really wants to turn the Li family away. That's why a series of cold receptions were arranged in the back, constantly wearing down the patience of the Li family. In the end, I really exhausted people's patience, only to find that I had gone the wrong way from the beginning.

This is also the evil result of thinking inertia, in the past twenty years, the city lord in Shen Jinghai's eyes, as his name suggests, is a Shen family with an unwavering standard like a rock, what he decides, even the Holy Sect Sect Master is difficult to pull back, and twenty years ago, Li Fengyun kidnapped his beloved daughter Shen Yue'e, and dragged the father and daughter to sever their relationship, the Li family was forever blacklisted by Shen Ruoshi.

In Shen Jinghai's eyes, this is simply a contradiction that is impossible to resolve, unless the city lord abdicates and is replaced by the next generation of city lords, the relationship between the two families can be eased. In this era, the time is not ripe at all, and the Li family is really in a hurry. The most they can do is to gradually reverse the inherent impression among the younger generation of the Shen family, and then break this layer of ice after dozens or hundreds of years - it is because of this that Shen Jinghai threw them directly into the outer courtyard of the Shen family.

Shen Jinghai always thought that his thinking was not wrong, and it was in line with the needs of the city lord, but ...... Later, he realized that as a member of the Shen family, many times, what he said and what he showed was completely different from what he thought in his heart.

For example, he himself, after ten years of blind dates, rejected one white and slightly flawed woman after another, and thought that he would live alone as the right-hand man of the city lord for the rest of his life, but in the end he fell into the gentle countryside that he had never imagined...... So pushing oneself and others, maybe the insistence of the city lord also hides a different kind of mind behind it?

After thinking about this, Shen Jinghai realized how outrageous he was wrong before.

And at this time, the only thing Shen Jinghai had to do was to remedy his mistakes at all costs in order to restore his position in the eyes of the city lord.

The right-hand man of the city lord of Shencheng is not so easy to do, if he does not advance, he will retreat, and he can't go further if he does a hundred things right, but if he does one thing wrong, he may have to roll down from his position, and there is absolutely no reason that a high position can be relaxed. On the contrary, in the position of right-hand man, it is even more necessary to focus on the needs of the city lord at all times, and he cannot relax in the slightest. And many times, work attitude is more important than ability.

That's why Shen Jinghai wanted to use the private property of 100,000 spirit stones to show his remedial attitude, and I believe that such an attitude can somewhat calm the dissatisfaction of the city lord.

And next, it is to make these 100,000 spirit stones worthwhile, don't be wasted, and in the outer courtyard in 2 days, I am afraid that I will have to do some serious articles.

On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure that all 5 places can fall into the hands of the Li family, or at least ensure that one place falls into the hands of Shen Qingming. On the other hand, the face of the outer courtyard cannot be ignored, after all, it carries the future of the Shen family, so how to arrange this work is quite troublesome.

——

At the same time, in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, more than 100 Shen family members were already gearing up and eager to try.

The opportunity to be ashamed has finally arrived!

A month ago, the Li family and his party entered the outer courtyard of the Shen family with great force, defeated the elite monks of the Shen family one after another with a sweeping momentum, and then walked away, leaving behind a lot of chicken feathers.

Since then, on the one hand, the Shen family has sincere admiration for the methods of the Li family, but on the other hand, they can't wait to take revenge, and now that the opportunity is in front of them, they will naturally do their best to fight for it.

On this day, during the short lunch break, the Shen family monks gathered in the shade of the trees next to the school grounds to discuss the countermeasures for two days later.

"How's it going, is the format clear?" A tall, thin teenager asked impatiently.

The young man who was asked shook his head helplessly: "Not yet, I have pestered the instructor several times, he only said that he didn't know, and he would wait for the notice." ”

The tall and thin young man touched his chin: "If Brother Feihu can't ask, it seems that Scarface really doesn't know, and I don't know how to design the competition system this time, and select 5 out of these more than 100 people." ”

A young girl said: "It should be like Shencheng Dabi, group elimination, and gradually advance to the top five. ”

Shen Feihu said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's impossible to arrange it like that this time, it's too unfair to the Li family." ”

The kind of competition system that divides more than 100 people into dozens of groups to catch and fight, and finally advances layer by layer, is obviously very unfavorable to a minority like the Li family, and the monks in the outer courtyard of the Shen family can fully target everyone in the Li family through internal tacit understanding.

The girl was unconvinced and said, "How can this kind of thing be fair?" Is it fair to have the general weight of the five of them and the more than 100 of us? ”

Shen Feihu smiled and said, "Not exactly, the correct way to say it should be that the five of them are more important than the more than a hundred of us, so that it is fair." ”

These words made everyone present a little puzzled.

Shen Feihu said: "If you listen to the words of the family, don't take it too seriously." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at him even tighter.

Shen Feihu couldn't help but smile bitterly at this, and secretly blamed himself in his heart for not holding back, so he had to make such an unnecessary limelight...... But the words have already begun, and it is not good to be hasty eunuchs, so I have to go along with it.

"The invitation to this birthday banquet was a bit strange from the beginning. To say that the specifications of the centennial birthday banquet are different from the past, and we little characters have no right to participate, this is okay, I think it is normal. But it was strange that the matter was arranged in such a hurry, as if it were a temporary idea. At present, it is the deputy city lord Shen Jinghai who is presiding over the preparations for the birthday banquet, and judging from his usual style, when it comes to the city lord, which thing is not arranged in an orderly manner and takes precautions? How could there have been such hasty and sudden arrangements? ”

This analysis is very reasonable, the city lord's 100th birthday banquet can be said to have started preparations since a year ago, and Shen Jinghai had already considered many things very thoughtfully at that time, and now it is really strange to suddenly say that the number of participants is limited.

"Then, the quota for this banquet is 5 people, and how many people is the envoy group of the Li family? It is also 5 people! I don't think it's a complete coincidence. In the end, the outer courtyard was more than a big competition, but the Li family wanted to participate, although it made sense, after all, several of them had practiced in the outer courtyard, but after all, it was still far-fetched. ”

After analyzing these three points, there was a brief silence under the tree.

Because if you think about it according to Shen Feihu's line of thought, the conclusion is really about to come out.

"The above is to think ...... Take this opportunity to deliberately give up the quota for the banquet to the Li family?! ”

"Why?!"

"What's this!?"

Shen Feihu shrugged: "I'm not Shen Jinghai, I can't say why I want anything." However, if it's just speculation, I think we might as well think in a good direction: such an obvious agitation method is to hope that we can show the backbone of the Shen family and be ashamed. ”

"I see, the family has worked hard in the hope that we can show the backbone of the Shen family and face the difficulties in the face of strong enemies......"

Shen Feihu didn't wait for the crowd to stir up, so he hurriedly interrupted: "I want to say that if we continue to reason according to this line of thought, the competition system arrangement will definitely be beneficial to the Li family, because only in this way can we get into a disadvantageous situation and show the courage to fight against the odds." And to put 5 people in a relatively advantageous position against 100 people, then the most likely way should be ......"
