Chapter 111: Frontier Official
To prevent others from eavesdropping,

Jiang Shan used the ghost realm to transfer himself and Cao Yanhua to an abandoned villa outside the suburbs of Dachang City.

Because the impact of this incident was so great, he covered the entire area with a ghost domain.

The fifth-level ghost domain is enough to isolate most of the supernatural beings. As long as it’s not the Seventh Elders who take action, even if Wang Chaling brings his entire family along, Jiang Shan is confident that he can hold on for a few seconds.

As for leaks, that is almost impossible.

"I know what you are worried about. The appointment has been issued. Do you still want to keep it secret from me?"

Seeing Cao Yanhua's hesitant expression, Jiang Shan lit a cigarette and walked to the balcony, looking into the distance and said calmly:
"I'm a high school student who hasn't even taken the college entrance examination, but now the headquarters has asked me to manage three provinces and ensure the personal safety of nearly hundreds of millions of people. If this happened in ancient times, I would be considered a frontier official."

"The position of the branch director is a hot potato. I don't have the idea of ​​'occupying the mountain as king', nor do I want to care about the safety of hundreds of millions of people. After all, what does their life and death have to do with me?"

"I just want to have an identity that can facilitate me. For a selfish ghost rider, the most important thing in his mind is to ensure his own survival, don't you think so, Cao Yanhua?"

Taking the cigarette from Jiang Shan, Cao Yanhua sighed and replied:
"Eighteen-year-old 'Frontier Official', you know I didn't sleep well for three nights when I first heard the news. That's the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Even so, if you weren't here, the current headquarters would have become a decoration."

He paused, exhaled a puff of smoke and continued in a hoarse voice:
"I've already guessed that you don't want to be the minister. You're right. Most people want to live a good life. Who would be willing to work for the headquarters?"

"For civilian ghost hunters, they can earn hundreds of millions in half a year by joining a club or something, and they can even get protection by joining a supernatural forum. Joining a headquarters to manage a city seems to be a great opportunity, but do you know how long the average working day of the person in charge of the headquarters is?"

"61 days."

"I said a long time ago that there are huge problems with the headquarters' system, but..."

Cao Yanhua did not continue speaking, but just stared blankly at Dachang City in the distance, stunned for a moment.

He didn't wake up until his finger was burned by a cigarette butt. Then he looked at Jiang Shan with a lonely expression and said:
"There are too many things going on inside the headquarters, and many of them cannot be discussed. I can only tell you that your role as branch director is an important attempt by the headquarters. Although it is a special plan independent of the captain's plan, the headquarters attaches more importance to it than you think."

"Even if you don't want to be the minister, Fang Shiming, Wang Chaling, and Li will become ministers. I don't know if you know Mr. Qin. It was his words that made the headquarters finally issue this document."

"The headquarters said that the purpose of issuing this document was to deal with an unimaginable situation. It is hard to imagine how difficult it is."

Since becoming the deputy director of the headquarters,

Cao Yanhua knows about too many supernatural events every day.

Because of the global revival of the supernatural, countless people die because of "ghosts" every second and every minute.

In the files sent back to the headquarters, behind those cold numbers are living lives.

If his duties were not so important, he would have resigned and gone home long ago.

The burden on my heart is too heavy.

It was so serious that he had nightmares every night, and it was so serious that he could hardly breathe.

"The headquarters should send some people to assist the branch director in management."

Jiang Shan's sudden question made Cao Yanhua stunned. He answered with some confusion:
"According to common sense, there should be one candidate. There are many candidates at the headquarters. You..."

The sound stopped suddenly,

Cao Yanhua, who heard the hidden meaning, looked at Jiang Shan with a frown and said:

"Have you really thought about it? I'll tell you another secret, which is not really a secret. Tong Qian's action of causing trouble for you today was instigated by someone secretly. Otherwise, with the authority of the person in charge, she would not have known the specific number of deaths in Dachang City. Someone doesn't want you to be the head of this branch." "Haha, of course I know all this, but that's why I have to accept this appointment. However, I have a request, that is, you must come to my branch to handle some things for me. For other requests, I will go to Dajing City in person to "discuss" with those people." Jiang Shan said coldly.

He had indeed not previously thought of taking on the role of so-called "minister".

But after listening to Cao Yanhua's words, Jiang Shan changed his mind.

If he gave up this identity,

Then there will be Minister Fang, Minister Wang, and even Minister Yang.

In this world that deviates greatly from the original work,
Even with his current strength, Jiang Shan doesn't dare to say that he can rest easy.

If the unimaginable changes that Old Qin mentioned really happened in the future, Jiang Shan would be alone in facing a chaotic and divided situation, and his situation would definitely not be good.

Not to mention that he has now become enemies with Fang Shiming in his circle of friends, based on his personality alone, he will not allow himself to be under the "danger wall" all the time.

Even if Jiang Shan needs to manage three provinces next.

But the documents from headquarters clearly state that branch directors are not required to be involved in supernatural events.

become.

He will be able to take advantage of the resources of three provinces and build his own team.

not.

He was dismissed and stripped of his power just for asking for help from the headquarters.

He will always remember those words:

"Ghost tamers fear power, not virtue."

So Jiang Shan expressed his idea to Cao Yanhua. He not only wanted the power of the director, but also wanted the assistance of a deputy director from the headquarters.

Just based on his current team.

Apart from Zhang Dongxing who has returned to Dachun City, he can be said to have no power at all.

What he wanted was not only Cao Yanhua as a person, but also the connections and political power behind Cao Yanhua.

"I still don't plan to attend this meeting. Since those people want to know me so much, let them go. I need to arrange some things, and I need you to help me arrange them tonight."

Jiang Shan was the first to break the quiet atmosphere between the two. He glanced at the puzzled Cao Yanhua and continued:

"I'm going to Dachun City tonight. Please send me all the information about Dachun City and the person in charge. The faster the flight, the better."

"Okay, although I don't know what you are going to do there, I hope you can do something on my personal behalf," said Cao Yanhua.

"what's up?"

"The former head of Dachun City is the minister's biological daughter. Although the headquarters has sent people to rescue her, I hope you can help. As for why, I don't need to explain. I think you will understand."
