The South Street in front of the bookstore is still crowded with people, but the bookstore's business is still "deserted".
This is probably what the ancient sages pursued: "living in seclusion from the world."
However, the interior of the bookstore was decorated with lights and looked very festive tonight.
A large round table was set up, and all kinds of hard dishes and seafood were served, with many still being kept warm on the kitchen stove.
Today is indeed a day worth celebrating.
Old Zhang sat upright on a reclining chair, which he had specially requisitioned from Xu Qinglang.
Sitting on the sofa doesn't look solemn enough, and sitting on a plastic chair seems too frivolous. I want to find an armchair but there is none, so I can only use this one to make up the number.
There is an altar with electronic candles lit because the owner doesn't want the house to be filled with smoke.
This is also good. At least there is no need to worry about it going out. If the tomb raiders had taken this with them when robbing tombs, there would no longer be any need to worry about "Ghost Blowing Out the Light".
"The auspicious time has arrived."
Old Zhang shouted at the top of his voice.
Lawyer An, who was dressed in formal attire, was sipping from his Super Cup.
Hearing this voice, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I always feel that the next sentence will be the bride and groom entering the bridal chamber.
Of course, he would never dare to say these teasings;
At this moment, he could only express his excitement with his happiest smile and his loudest applause.
Lawyer An's action was like an order from the cheerleading captain.
Starting from the left, Lao Dao, Little Monkey, Ying Ying, Black Girl, Deadpool, Xu Qinglang and others all applauded together.
Zhou Ze stood up and walked forward.
Unlike Lin Ke who was wearing a formal children's dress and Liu Chuyu who was wearing a burgundy suit,
Boss Zhou is still dressed in his usual attire today.
White shirt,
Sky blue jeans.
This is normal. From Zhou Ze's perspective, the actual joy that this promotion can bring may not be that great.
Zhou Ze stood in the first row.
Put your hands in front of you and close your eyes slightly;
Lin Ke behind him seemed a little nervous, but Liu Chuyu next to him could see his excitement.
The bodies of Yueya and Zheng Qiang are still warm.
But life has to go on and move forward.
It was not easy for Lin Ke and Liu Chuyu to reach where they are today. When they were forcibly recruited by Zhou Ze, they both thought that their future was over.
Who would have thought that there was a new hope after all the darkness
This road has not been easy to walk. We all have to bear the consequences. Just a few days ago, two of our companions died on the eve of promotion.
Old Zhang coughed twice.
Stand up slowly,
The little boy's body deliberately showed an old-fashioned look, which looked very out of place.
His eyes swept across the applauding crowd nearby.
Focusing on Lao Zhang's face,
Sighed,
Then it was replaced by a touch of seriousness and solemnity.
Open your palms,
A golden silk cloth appeared in his palm.
It looks very similar to the imperial edicts in ancient times.
Unroll the scroll.
Old Zhang recited in a deep voice:
"Feng..."
Pause,
Old Zhang continued:
"The former Tongcheng police chief, Zhou Ze, was loyal to his duties and made outstanding contributions. He is now appointed as the inspector. In addition to Tongcheng, he will also govern the two cities of Yangzhou and Taizhou."
This means that from now on, Boss Zhou will not only be in charge of the inspection of Tongcheng, but the two cities of Yangzhou and Taizhou will also be under his jurisdiction. In the future, the chief constables of these two cities will also bring their men to pay homage to him.
"What did you pray for before? Why didn't you recite it?"
The old Taoist asked Lawyer An beside him with some curiosity.
"As for the words that flatter the Nine Eunuchs, they are just nonsense, so I won't read them." Lawyer An replied.
The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Then the loyalty to duty and so on below is even more ridiculous..."
Lawyer An straightened up immediately.
The Taoist priest immediately covered his mouth.
"Inspector Zhou, come forward and take the seal!"
At this time, Zhou Ze did not put on airs. After all, everyone in the room was his own, so there was no need for him to act out of the ordinary and to show off to others. Naturally, he was not interested in doing what Napoleon did to the Pope.
He walked forward, took the yellow cloth, and placed his captain's token on it. The two immediately merged, releasing a faint light. Then, a dark golden edict of enthronement, the so-called birth certificate, appeared in Zhou Ze's hand.
At this moment, Zhou Ze felt that his control and perception of the resentment and evil spirits around him had improved significantly.
So, many times, you have to admire the awesomeness of the first generation.
After the end of the Prince's era, the era of the Ten Kings of Hell and the Nine Eunuchs came into being, but this system has been retained, which is enough to show the horror of the first generation.
At least in terms of the ability to lay the foundation, he is much better than Zhu Yuanzhang was back then.
Old Zhang stood up and left behind the altar.
He knelt down on one knee in front of Zhou Ze.
He said in a deep voice:
"I'm Zhang Weiyu, congratulations to the boss on his promotion!"
If you were to tell others that a judge knelt down before an inspector, it would be enough to make a lot of people smash their glasses, but here, it seemed so normal.
Lawyer An muttered and cursed, "You got there first."
immediately,
Lawyer An also knelt down.
Loudly said:
"The book house's lackeys have been loyal servants for generations. Heaven and earth can bear witness to the sincerity of the innocent little Anzi.
Congratulations to the boss on his promotion!"
This time,
Everyone knelt down together.
Some called him boss, some called him adult, and there was endless congratulations.
Zhou Ze didn't feel proud of this. Sometimes, one really has no choice but to do things in the world. In fact, he didn't have much interest in this inspector position. Maybe he just wanted to make things convenient for himself.
But it doesn’t matter if you are lazy, but if you don’t consider yourself, you should at least consider your subordinates, right
If you, as the boss, don't move up, how are your subordinates supposed to climb up
"Get up."
Everybody got up.
Zhou Ze walked aside with the birth certificate.
Next,
It’s Lin Ke and Liu Chuyu.
Both of them were promoted to captains of the police today.
Originally, Zheng Qiang and Yueya could have been promoted to captains of the police today. After all, except for Lao Zhang who did not have enough GPA, the other five ghost officers under Boss Zhou had enough GPA.
Because of Zhou Ze and the shutdown of Hell, it has been delayed until now.
Each captain of the police could recruit five more ghost catchers as his younger brothers, and the group would expand and develop. That’s how it all started.
The joyous canonization is over.
Next,
It's time to start the banquet.
Everyone drank a lot, but no one got drunk.
After the banquet,
Old Zhang personally drove his ancestor to the station, and Old Zhang had to go to other places to confer the title.
Zhou Ze didn't stay downstairs for too long. He quickly took a shower and went upstairs with Yingying.
Lawyer An, however, led a large group of people from the bookstore to sit together, with melon seeds, drinks and mineral water placed in the middle.
It was like a tea party.
The theme of the tea party was also very simple. It was nothing more than the same old stuff like continuing to follow the boss to create a new era.
Everyone seemed to be listening attentively, clapping and shouting slogans from time to time to show their loyalty;
Although the topic was a bit boring, the atmosphere was still pleasant.
Talking nonsense is a skill, and organizing a tea party where people talk nonsense requires even more skill. Getting a group of people to sit together and talk nonsense seriously is a skill among skills.
Lawyer An is well aware of this.
In fact, when he was still alive and his family was not in decline,
His father wanted to send him to politics or the army.
At that time, the Whampoa Military Academy was also close to Lawyer An's home.
However, Lawyer An was young and frivolous at that time and did not think much about the future. But Lawyer An's father had a good eye for his son. He did not make much waves when he was alive, but after his death, he lived a prosperous life in the underworld.
The tea party ended successfully.
Most people just went to bed and went back to their own hideouts.
Lawyer An deliberately kept Lin Ke and Liu Chuyu.
"Don't rush to recruit your ghost messengers. Each person has a maximum of five quotas, and you are not allowed to use them without permission."
The longer you are a younger brother, the more you want to be the boss. This is human nature. Otherwise, why do so many people in the world dream of becoming leaders
However, Lin Ke and Liu Chuyu had no objection to Lawyer An's order.
"Although two people just died in our library, we actually have quite a lot of people left. The two of you being promoted this time is equivalent to having ten more positions for us.
This is a resource that cannot be wasted. Let's keep it for now. We don't need any ghost messengers to run errands anyway."
What's more, your boss is the local inspector and your direct superior, so no one will find fault with you if you create a vacancy.
"We understand."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Also, Lin Ke, don't go home so often. If Wang Ke wants to see his daughter, let him come over by himself. Don't run back and forth all the time.
Liu Chuyu, you, just find a room in the Internet cafe opposite and stay there.
You all know clearly how Yueya and Zheng Qiang died. Our bookstore may not seem weak from the outside, but the real threat is only from the bosses and a few others.
We are just a few people, you, you, and me, a few of us, any wave coming over can kill us. "
"I see."
"good."
"Um."
Lawyer An nodded.
"Okay, that's it. Today, congratulations on your promotion. I hope that under the wise leadership of our boss, the future will be better and everyone will have a better future."
Wang An of Pingdeng made his closing statement.
Just when everyone was about to leave,
Lawyer An's cell phone rang.
Lawyer An took a look at the incoming call notification and was stunned for a moment. It was Geng Chen.
wipe,
This guy has been out wandering for so long that I almost forgot there was such a person in the bookstore.
It’s probably because there hasn’t been much blame to take in the bookstore recently, so Geng Chen’s presence has suddenly been weakened to the extreme.
Calculating the time, Gengchen has been away for almost half a year. He rarely calls me or anything. It was really surprising that he called me suddenly this time.
"Hello."
Lawyer An answered the phone and there was a lot of noise on the other end of the line.
"I can't...get up..."
"How dare you imitate the boss's words, how shameless!"
Lawyer An simply laughed and scolded.
"Save... me..."
“… …” Lawyer An.
