…

“Alright, the specific admission rules for the assessment will be sent digitally in a while.

The assessment will start tomorrow. If there are no problems, then the meeting will be adjourned. I hope that everyone will go back today and make good preparations.”

Ouyang Yunzhong announced that the meeting was adjourned, and everyone returned to their respective posts.

Ye Xiao heard his subordinates secretly discussing how to give Ouyang Yunzhong gifts and keep their jobs.

“My father’s second uncle’s third aunt’s eldest grandson’s eldest grandson’s ex-girlfriend’s uncle is a distant cousin of director Ouyang.

“I have to go and see if I can find some clues and get him to help me speak up.”

“Distant cousin is nothing. Let me tell you, in terms of relationship and seniority, I have to call director Ouyang, great-grandmother!”

“F*ck, are you that close to director Ouyang?”

“Of course. Director Ouyang and my great-grandmother are from the same village.”

“F*ck, I thought she was your great-grandmother. I didn’t expect it to be an elder from the same village. What are you talking about?”

…

Ye Xiao was particularly speechless at their exchange. Those brats had thought things too simply.

If the library was expanded, it was very likely that they wanted to build a super large library that time.

Director Ouyang’s strength was only at the Xiantian first grade. After the expansion, whether she could become the director was still a question.

Moreover, director Ouyang’s age was also about to reach the age of retirement, right?

She was already over 90 years old now. It was only because she practiced martial arts that she was younger. However, the library in the past only managed the martial arts techniques of a small Jianghai city. In the future, it would not only be a small Jianghai city.

However, Ye Xiao was not worried.

When the soldiers came, the general would block them. When the water came, the Earth would cover it.

According to the assessment criteria on the phone, the lowest was Houtian third-grade martial arts strength. However, according to Ye Xiao’s judgment, it was actually risky.

That was because even if most people could not rely on their connections, there would still be a small number of people who could rely on their connections to obtain a few spots. If there were a few fewer spots, then naturally, the admission line, would also rise a little higher.

However, Ye Xiao knew that there were two colleagues who had a very good chance of going home to do their own business.

Therefore, as long as they revealed their Houtian third-grade martial arts strength, they could still pass.

As for the theory examination, even if he did not look at the standards, he was not worried.

With his performance in the library, it was enough to easily settle it.

Of course, even if he really could not become a librarian, there was no harm in it.

He could still come over to read books and earn some living expenses through refining artifacts.

However, there were two things that were not too good.

One was that the librarian did not need money to read books. There was also a monthly salary that could be received and various employee benefits.

Reading books also required money. One needed to get a card, and borrowing books also required money. Every time he read or borrowed books, there had to be various rules and regulations. It was very troublesome.

Ye Xiao did not care about money, but he hated trouble. Being a manager saved him a lot of trouble.

The other was also the most important one.

A manager could use the excuse that he was bored at work to kill time to read books.

If he was no longer a manager, he would not look for a job. There would definitely be a problem if he spent every day reading in the library. ..

Before his cultivation reached a level that satisfied him, he did not want to attract too much attention and let others discover his strength.

…

Ding!

Half a day in the morning passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

Ye Xiao came to the staff restaurant and ordered a set meal of beef stew with potatoes. After that, he found a corner by the window and started eating.

Before long, a refreshing fragrance assailed his nostrils. A figure sat opposite him.

Even without raising his head, he could guess who it was just by looking at the little feet under the table that were wearing silk stockings and high heels.

Ms. Wang.

“Little Ye Xiao, is it alright for me to sit here?”

Ye Xiao only nodded slightly.

Ms. Wang, who had been rehabilitated, was a lot more normal.

She was also wearing much more formal clothes and her makeup was not as charming as before. Even the perfume on her body had turned into a light fragrance instead of a particularly stimulating fragrance.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

She put down her plate, tidied up her chopsticks, and began to eat. As she ate, she said,

“What do you think about this assessment?”

“What other thoughts can I have? That’s it. If I can pass it, then forget it.”

“Do you want me to use my connections to help you?”

Ye Xiao could not help but feel a little curious.

“Didn’t you already find a boyfriend? Why are there still so many people supporting you?”

Ms. Wang rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao.

“Don’t you know that every man is woman-crazy? If I didn’t have a boyfriend, they would probably be sick of me. In the end, now that I have a boyfriend, every single one of them who sees me is like flies that see honey. Their eyes are shining.”

“Then how many hats does your boyfriend have to wear? You’d better not cause trouble for him.”

“F*ck you!”

Ms. Wang pouted, but she was not angry.

“Your sister Wang is now a decent woman. Other than my boyfriend, no one can touch me. I’m serious now. Everyone is giving gifts. If you need to give gifts, you can tell me.”

“I have worked here for 10 to 20 years. I can still find connections.”

“There’s no need.”

“Really? Your cultivation is only Houtian second grade, right? With this cultivation, it’s very difficult for you to stay.”

Ye Xiao shrugged.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not like you’ll starve to death after leaving the library.”

Ms. Wang looked at Ye Xiao in a daze.

“Ye Xiao, do you know? Your calm and worldly maturity, coupled with your face, is really a fatal attraction to women.

“You’re lucky that you’re not a sc*mbag. If you were a sc*mbag, all the women in Jianghai City, from a hundred-year-old granny to an unborn baby, wouldn’t be able to escape your grasp.”

Ye Xiao did not say anything. He just lowered his head and ate.

Ms. Wang saw that he did not speak anymore, so she did not continue speaking.

The reason why she helped Ye Xiao was purely because she thought that ye Xiao was a good person and pointed it out to her.

After going around and around, she finally came to her senses and went to find her own happiness.

However, since Ye Xiao did not need her help, then forget it.

After eating, Ye Xiao continued to work and read in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Gu Hai also called.

He had worked in the library before so he had never left the group of colleagues. He could also learn some information from his colleagues’ circle of friends.

The content of the phone call was nothing more than to look for connections and see if he could keep his job.

After all, a job in the library was indeed very popular in Jianghai city.

There was no need to do any heavy work, the salary was suitable, and there were all sorts of benefits.

Ye Xiao still refused.

After the two of them chatted briefly, they hung up on each other.

When Ye Xiao got home from work in the evening, he saw Ouyang Yunzhong get into a car at the door.

He knew that it was the governor’s private car.

It seemed that the change in the library was indeed extraordinary.

Perhaps they would be able to bring in many good books.

It seemed like he would be able to learn more types of cultivation techniques and synthesize more powerful imperial techniques in the future!

…

Ouyang Yunzhong got into the governor’s private car and went straight to the manor to discuss with Du Changfeng, Du Tianyu, and the others.

At the same time, Qin Shenglong and Nangong Ling were also present.

Seeing that she had arrived, everyone greeted her and the meeting officially began.

“Next, there are orders regarding the Jing and the Zhong province. I’ll tell everyone about them.”

The governor, Du Tianyu, held a document in his hand and began to introduce the work to everyone.

“This time, the seven stars have been aligned, and the entire world has suffered a great loss. It can be predicted that the star beasts are getting stronger and stronger.

“In order to reduce wind control, better deal with the star beasts, and better protect the fire of the human race, they are thriving and unceasing.

“Therefore, the requirements for integrating the city were made.

“According to the current better cities, priority was given to selecting, investing resources, and absorbing talents to form a large-scale city, gathering the martial artists.

“In this way, when facing the invasion of the star beasts, the human martial artists could better display their strength and better resist them.”

After glancing at the crowd, Du Tianyu continued to read,

“First, the position of governor will still be taken by me.

“Second, the principal of Jianghai Martial Arts Academy. Qin Shenglong will step down from the position of principal and be taken over by my uncle, Du Changfeng.”

Qin Shenglong approved of that decision very much.

After all, Du Changfeng was a great grandmaster and was much stronger than him. Moreover, Du Changfeng was previously a famous professor of the Jingdu Martial Arts Academy and was much more proficient than him in terms of teaching.

“Old Qin, do you have any thoughts?”

Du Changfeng was more concerned about the thoughts of his best friend.

However, Qin Shenglong shook his head.

“I don’t have any objections. If you hadn’t left back then, this position of principal would have been yours to begin with.

“Now, it’s just returning it to its rightful owner.

“Moreover, I heard that the star beast battlefield is very tense right now.

“My old bones are also reaching their limits. I’m thinking of going to the star beast battlefield to try my luck and see if I can make any breakthroughs.”

Seeing that Qin Shenglong did not have any objections, Du Tianyu spoke again,

“The former commander of the garrison team, Nangong Ling, will be the vice commander of the garrison team from now on. The Zhong province will send a great grandmaster to take over. Nangong Ling will be in charge of assisting him.”

Nangong Ling nodded. If Jianghai city wanted to expand, he would not be able to control the garrison team.

“The head of Jianghai City’s library, Ouyang Yunzhong, will step down from her position as the head of the library. The Zhong province will also send a great grandmaster to take over.

“Head Ouyang, do you have any objections?”

Ouyang Yunzhong shook her head.

“I’m old, it’s time for me to take care of my grandson. It’s appropriate for me to step down.”

“Alright, since no one has any objections, it’s decided then. I hope everyone can understand. The main reason is to make our Jianghai city better.

“After Jianghai city expands, it will absorb the surrounding cities and gradually expand, increasing its strength so that it can deal with the beast calamity four years later!”
