“Old Liang, you’re late,” said Kong Shu with a smile.

“Isn’t this just in time?”

Liang Yan was obviously close to the eldest son of the Kong family. She patted Yi Jinglun on the shoulder and casually sat down beside him.

Pointing at the seat, Liang Yan gestured for Yi Jinglun to sit down. She said earnestly,” I’ve seen how you’ve endured all these years. I’m very happy to have someone like you in the Alliance Security Bureau.”

“But you have to know that the position of deputy director is not given to you by anyone. You deserve it.”

” Think about it. After so many years of hard work, isn’t it worth the position of deputy director?”

” Indeed, we must be loyal to each other. However, we must not be ignorant of the situation.”

All in all, it meant that Yi Jinglun was able to get the position of Deputy Director of the Alliance Security Bureau because of his own hard work. It had nothing to do with Lin Yi.

Yi Jinglun could not help but smile bitterly.

If he had just returned from the Spiriters, he would have believed those words without a doubt. That was what he really thought. He really believed that with his experience and contributions, the Alliance should give him the position of Deputy Director.

Unfortunately, the result was that he was slapped hard by reality.

Even someone like Hechi could be nominated. At one point, everyone even thought that the position of deputy bureau chief was his. Otherwise, there would be no need to hold a celebration party in advance.

On the other hand, he was an old man who had worked hard and made great contributions. In the eyes of the public, he was not even qualified to be nominated, let alone pose a threat to Hechi.

If he didn’t use Lin Yi’s connections this time, the only possibility was that he would be a fringe in the Alliance Security Bureau for the rest of his life.

Deputy Director? Don’t even think about it.

Yi Jinglun wanted to speak but was interrupted by a hand.

Liang Yan continued,”I’m very pleased that you can become the deputy director, but you have to know that the position of deputy director is not so easy to sit on.”

” If you don’t get enough support, then it’s just an empty title. It’s useless.”

“I know you’re an ambitious person, but think about it, can Lin Yi really provide you with this platform?”

“Look at yourself. How many people do you have that you can use? Without my support and the help of your colleagues, what can you do in the Alliance Security Bureau?”

Yi Jinglun was silent for a moment. Finally, he said with some difficulty,” It’s difficult to move an inch.”

This was not an exaggeration at all.

Although he had been depressed before, he had only been ignored. Now that he was promoted to deputy director, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.

If he was really targeted from top to bottom, his situation would only be more difficult than before, and his days would be even worse.

“Old Liang, don’t scare him like that,” Kong Shu said.

” Yi Jinglun is a talent who is willing to do things. What we need to do is to provide him with all kinds of conveniences.”

“Oh right, I remember you saying that you’re going to retire in a few years. Who do you want to replace you then?”

Yi Jinglun’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

The director of the Alliance Security Bureau and the deputy director of the Alliance Security Bureau, although there was only a word difference between the two positions, were two completely different levels.

Even though the deputy director had already stepped into the upper echelons of the important departments in the headquarters, strictly speaking, he could only be considered as a middle-level officer in the entire power structure of the Alliance. His status was equivalent to the executive officers of the Alliance.

Once he became the director, his status would be higher than the Alliance Executive!

Even in the entire Alliance, they were all at the top of the hierarchy. Even the big shots on the highest board of directors had to treat them with respect.

Although he knew that the two of them were singing the same tune to confuse him, Yi Jinglun could not help but feel a little excited when it came to the position of the director of the Alliance Security Bureau.

This was his lifelong dream!

Liang Yan said calmly,”If you want to take over as the bureau chief, that person must have sufficient qualifications.” To be honest, there aren’t many people who meet this condition. The current deputy directors aren’t qualified.”

” In terms of experience, Yi Jinglun is the only one in the Security Bureau,” Kong Shu said with a smile.” You can’t forget him.”

“How could I forget?” Liang Yan laughed. He’s the talent I think the most highly of. The key is to see how he’s going to walk.”

After saying that, the two of them stopped talking, and the tea room fell into a stalemate.

The meaning was obvious. With that said, it was time for Yi Jinglun to express his stance.

After a long while, Yi Jinglun smiled bitterly.” Thank you, Master Kong, and the director for your kindness. But with my ability, I really don’t dare to have any extravagant thoughts about the director’s position.”

The position of the director of the Alliance Security Bureau was indeed a huge temptation, but he knew very well what he was capable of.

Not to mention that there was no chance at all. Even if he was lucky enough to sit in that position, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing.

If one wanted to get a hold of the position of bureau chief, not only did one have to have strong personal strength, but one also had to have a strong background like Tongtian. He did not have either of these.

The cake that the two of them drew for him was indeed very big and round, but unfortunately, Yi Jinglun did not lose his rationality.

No matter how well the cake was drawn, it was impossible for it to fall into his mouth. It was destined to be a castle in the air.

Kong Shu and Liang Yan looked at each other.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere in the tea room changed.

Liang Yan changed the topic.” I heard that your family hasn’t been living well these years. Now that you’ve been promoted and made a name for yourself, you should think of a way to compensate them.”

“After all, it’s said that when one person attains the Dao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven.”

“If you can’t make the family prosper with you, no matter how high you climb, it’s still lonely at the top.”

“The feeling of being alone is not good.”

” What?” Yi Jinglun’s heart ached.” You’re right, Chief. I owe my family a lot.”

This was a scar in his heart.

Logically speaking, even if he did not become the deputy director, his family should not be doing too badly with his background in the Alliance Security Bureau.

Unfortunately, he had been undercover all year round and had no time to care about his family. In the end, not only did the family not get to bask in his light, but because of his relationship, they had also caused many unexpected disasters. In the end, the family had fallen and the entire family had almost fallen apart.

It was also because of this that his greatest wish after returning to the headquarters was to make up for his family.

“I’ve received some bad news recently. Because you’ve been undercover all these years, you’ve offended many forces. They’ve heard about you everywhere now. It seems that they’re preparing to attack your family.” Liang Yan said leisurely.

He stopped here and did not continue.

His meaning was clearly expressed..
