Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

Chapter 205 Contact

(It is better to read it together with the next chapter.)

Wu Feipeng and his team mainly went with people to "deliver warmth", doing work like resettling refugees, registering them, and counting materials.

The atmosphere in Zhitonghui was very good. Everyone was not very averse to the parachuted personnel, thinking that they had connections or something. They were very short of people right now and wished more people would come.

The disciples who were assigned here briefly introduced themselves and started working. Wu Feipeng was in the front, responsible for registering refugees and arranging work for the city residents.

Because of his good looks, high efficiency, and tactful handling of matters, his handsome and clever face made anyone who saw him feel warm and relaxed, and he instantly became the face of the department. After working for a few days, some girls would even linger at the door just to take a closer look at him, and everyone who worked with him also liked to talk to Wu Feipeng.

Wu Feipeng was surrounded by people, but he remained calm and composed, seemingly the natural center of attention.

Duan Jiashu was somewhat envious of those who were born to be suited to the workplace, who were good at dealing with people and were like fish in water. He thought back to when he was in the Xuanyin Sect, he was not very good at dealing with people. Even though he diligently completed his tasks and improved his cultivation, the deacons above did not promote him.

Instead, he was envied by some of his senior brothers. He was targeted for this and suffered terribly. Even when he reported it, no one paid attention. After those people found out, they became even more aggressive. He had no choice but to be humble and pay most of his limited spiritual stones every month as tribute...

Coming undercover, besides feeling that he was finally valued by the sect, wasn't it also because he wanted to make achievements and then "return home in glory" so that he could be proud?

After counting the days, it was time to contact Xuanyin Sect. They hadn't contacted him much before, but as soon as that devil Shi Yubai came back, he started to order him around and even set a time to contact... Duan Jiashu sneered.

Looking at everyone busy around him, even though Duan Jiashu was a little annoyed about the affairs of the Xuanyin Sect, he still wanted to find a chance to contact them. He looked around and walked to a colleague who was writing furiously.

"Should these documents be sent to the Ministry of Affairs? I just finished the work I'm doing and can help you deliver it."

"Really? Thank you so much, Brother Mingci."

"Easy to do."

Duan Jiashu went out carrying a dozen things. Wu Feipeng, who was writing a form with his back to him, paused, looked up, smiled gently at the person next to him.

"Can you help me with that? I remembered I didn't get a few documents."

"Ah good."

For a moment, he seemed to see Wu Feipeng's frowning expression. The man looked at the other's back, rubbed his eyes, and felt that he was seeing things. He turned his head to look at the long queue, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Brother Hongyu, please come back soon, otherwise I won't be able to handle so many people..."

Duan Jiashu first delivered the things to the Office of Affairs, and after handing them over to someone, he came out. Snow was falling above his head again, and the wind was blowing very hard. Snowflakes were flying in the air like torn cotton wool, drifting everywhere without a destination. The marks left by pedestrians on the street were now covered with layers, and there was a creaking sound when he walked on them.

Fortunately, there were not many people on the road, and Duan Jiashu easily found a remote place in an empty alley.

He opened the water mirror skillfully, and saw the familiar wretched face of the Great Elder. It seemed that the other party had just played with the cauldron, and his clothes were still loose.

"Duan, Duan..."

Duan Jiashu: "...Duan Jiashu."

"Yes, Duan Jiashu, the sect has high hopes for you. Why haven't you received any useful information recently? If you can turn the Wenxian Sect upside down, you won't have to worry about not getting a position as an elder..."

The Great Elder's voice was sharp, making people feel uncomfortable, but Duan Jiashu still smiled and listened to his words with an instructive expression.

You can't even remember his name, but you're still promising him something? What are you pinning your hopes on? Waiting for you to accomplish something and then rewarding you is all just empty talk - maybe there will be a bunch of people who will sit back and enjoy the credit for what you've worked so hard for, and want a share of the benefits.

And up to now, they don't even give him any help, they are so stingy, they just rely on him to work hard, right? They ask him to do this and that every time they open and close their upper and lower bodies, why don't they ask him to do anything? They just think they have control over him, and he will work even if they don't support him, they just don't bother to think about it.

"Don't you get along well with that guy with the Heavenly Spiritual Root? Have you collected any useful information? Besides, it's been so long, and you haven't found a chance to take action?!"

As the Great Elder was talking, he began to complain about Duan Jiashu's slow progress, as if if it weren't for the water mirror between him, he would have pointed at Duan Jiashu and cursed him for what he was doing.

"How can it be that easy, Elder? I have been staying inside the sect, and there are so many eyes watching me. Besides, I am a very famous person in the sect..."

The other party always made empty promises and stuffed a bunch of meaningless things into his mouth. After a long time, Duan Jiashu also figured out a set of words to fool the other party.

"What about Master Mozi? Why didn't he come out with you this time?"

"I don't know about that, Elder. My ability is limited. If the head of the Discipline Hall doesn't bring him along, can I still go up and ask him?"

"Mozi just came back, and he's not used to many things, and you don't help much. I heard that the Discipline Hall has a lot of homework, don't you help Mozi share some of the burden? Master Mozi is always tripped up by these insignificant things, which delays big things! Can't you be smart and help a little? If you are noticed by the master, that would be the best thing..."

The Great Elder complained in his tone, and kept emphasizing that Duan Jiashu had no tact and didn't know how to deserve the favor of his superiors. He pointed fingers at him in all kinds of ways. Anyway, he could find fault with everything and was simply nitpicking.

What about Mozi? If people knew that Mozi had failed the exams several times, I don't know who would laugh at him. Working under him is sometimes a bit embarrassing.

Duan Jiashu complained silently in his heart and almost rolled his eyes a few times, but he still looked helpless. He responded with hmm and aah, and waited until the other party had finished talking before he explained in a nice and gentle voice.

"It's not that I didn't help. I accompanied you to review and prepare for the exam every day, but you didn't seem to like it very much. Besides, I don't have the ability to take the exam for you during the exam!

Moreover, you seem to be highly regarded by the chief disciple, and he often watches over you personally... sometimes the disciples are powerless."

When dealing with his boss perfunctorily, Duan Jiashu's attitude is mainly one of sincere admission of mistakes, explanation of his incompetence, and inner monologue of being stubborn and passive at work.
