Daqing: Immortality begins with taking Fan Xian as your disciple!

Chen Pingping frowned again.

"You still can't say anything right."

Wu Zhu thought about it for a moment, and seemed to agree with this statement, but did not answer.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile playing at the corners of her lips.

A blind man, a lame man.

These two can hurt each other.

However, seeing the slight frown on Chen Pingping's face...

Su Yu knew that Chen Pingping was not someone who cared about aging.

He doesn't even care about his own life, so why would he care about getting old?

It's just because he's afraid.

I'm afraid of getting old and not knowing when I'll die.

I wonder if the plans in my heart will be realized before I die.

Only by doing this can one truly die without regrets and go to the afterlife to see Miss.

After a lukewarm greeting with Wu Zhu.

Chen Pingping didn't intend to say anything more to this person.

Instead, he looked at Su Yu and smiled.

"Although Shadow already invited Mr. Su from Group 37 on my behalf yesterday."

"But I have come here today to sincerely invite you again in person."

"I am well aware of Mr. Su's talent and deeply admire him."

"The Censorate desperately needs someone like Mr. Su."

After a pause, Chen Pingping said seriously.

"Mr. Su, would you be willing to join the Supervisory Council?"

"Name your terms."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow.

He believed that Chen Pingping's sincere invitation to join him was genuine.

But if you can make any demands, that's where the ingenuity comes in.

Su Yu knew very well that the so-called "casual mention" meant that the eight departments were in charge.

Because the position of dean is out of the question.

The position of Ti Si was already predetermined.

It seems that none of the other major departments are suitable for a scholar.

That means it's still hosted by eight organizations.

Of course, Chen Pingping wanted to recruit him.

The official positions, though not officially recognized, will remain unchanged.

However, there are unseen benefits.

The Censorate was so powerful that no one dared to mess with it, and Director Chen wielded immense influence.

That's not just talk.

However, I won't go into the major aspects.

Let's take a small matter as an example.

For example, Su Yu's Danbo Bookstore.

The Eighth Department of the Censorate, responsible for reviewing and printing books, was essentially the superior body to the bookstore.

It turns out that before the bookstore opened, it had already borrowed Fan Jian's connections.

The review process at the Eighth Bureau was expedited, which also accelerated the bookstore's opening and the pace of making money.

But in fact, dealing with the Eighth Division is not something that can be done in a day.

It's not accurate to say that mentioning Fan Jian every time is effective, nor is it true that mentioning him will necessarily work.

No matter how good Fan Jian's relationship with Dean Chen is, he is not the dean.

It's impossible for subordinates not to skim some profit when they do things.

So after the bookstore opened, it spent a lot of money bribing the eight departments.

But what if Su Yu accepted Dean Chen's invitation at this moment?

Then he must be the head of the Eighth Division.

Those who accepted bribes all became his underlings.

Who would dare ask him for money now?

And for those unscrupulous merchants who pirate and reprint Dream of the Red Chamber.

They can now openly smash, loot, and vandalize.

Chen Pingping could turn a blind eye to these things.

After a moment's thought, Su Yu smiled faintly.

"I can feel that Dean Chen is indeed very sincere."

"Mr. Su is very grateful for the dean's appreciation."

Chen Pingping smiled helplessly when she heard Su Yu say that.

Quietly waiting for Su Yu's next 'but'.

Chen Pingping had been a powerful figure in officialdom for many years.

She is the most adept at observing people's words and expressions and understanding their hearts.

The reason he asked Su Yu to set the conditions was...

On the one hand, they knew that Su Yu was sensible and wouldn't make excessive demands.

But on the other hand, it's also because he genuinely values ​​Su Yu.

If Su Yu asks for it, he will definitely agree if he can.

Apart from the positions of Dean and Supervisor, everything else is negotiable.

He is not afraid of Su Yu setting conditions.

On the contrary, the worst thing is that Su Yu won't make any demands.

But clearly, at this moment, Su Yu belongs to the latter category.

Without mentioning any conditions, the meaning is quite clear.

This is a polite way of declining.

And then, as Chen Pingping had predicted, things naturally turned out as expected.

Su Yu smiled slightly and said.

"I am just a scholar."

"I'm not very interested in the Overwatch Council."

Well, actually, to be precise...

Su Yu wasn't particularly interested in joining the Supervisory Council.

Chen Pingping wasn't exactly an unreasonable person.

Since Shadow and Fei Jie had already extended the invitation on his behalf.

Now he has come in person, showing his sincerity.

Since Su Yu is still unwilling to join, it means that she is genuinely not interested.

He then stopped insisting.

He simply took a sip of tea and asked casually.

"Then, Mr. Su, what are your plans for the future?"

"After the palace examination, one can enter the court to serve as an official."

"Mr. Su, are there any positions you'd like to consider?"

Chen Pingping did not say the last sentence.

But the implication is that 893 clearly shows 460.

Su Yu knew that if she proposed a position at this moment...

Chen Pingping was very willing and had the ability to fight for him.

After all, in officialdom, there are always some shady dealings that can't be seen in the light of day.

However, Su Yu still smiled and shook her head.

"Su does not intend to serve as an official in the court in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping and Fei Jie were both startled.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Pingping's eyes.

After all, Su Yu was a man of exceptional literary talent and profound knowledge of both ancient and modern times.

His scholarly air was also very strong.

In his mind, Su Yu's participation in the imperial examinations meant that he was destined for a career in government.

If he had taken this path, he would surely have become a famous prime minister like Lin Ruofu.

Of course, he was a famous prime minister, or rather, a notoriously treacherous one.
