Pokémon: Encounter

"..."

Guan Qing didn't expect Bai Lao to do this so suddenly. He cleared his throat and said, "This is not in compliance with the regulations."

"How does it not comply with the regulations? He is a new generation, strong and intelligent. I think there is no more suitable candidate than him." Bai Lao said calmly.

"He was expelled for violating disciplines. It's not appropriate for him to participate in this kind of action." Guan Qing raised his eyebrows at Bai Lao.

"How is it inappropriate? I think you are just prejudiced, discriminated against, and jealous of him."

"Alas." Seeing Guan Qing's eyes almost sore from squeezing, Old Xia on the side couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and said to the people around him.

"Yanhua, don't you have something important to do? Tell Chairman Guan that you can go down first. I'll go have some tea with Lao Bai later."

Xia Yanhua was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, yes, it is indeed very important." Then he bowed slightly to Guan Qing, "Chairman Guan, if there is nothing else, I would like to apply to leave first!"

Anyone who can be the head of a family is a smart person.

"Chairman Guan, it seems that my daughter at home has missed some other things. I would also like to apply to leave and ask for clarification, and then come back to inform you after I have summarized it." Fang Hui also stood up and said.

"Chairman Guan!"

"lead!"

"..."

At this time, the others also looked like they had something to do and wanted to ask for permission to leave early.

"Ahem, since everyone has important matters to attend to, let's end today's meeting here."

"I have conveyed the main purpose of today's meeting. I hope that each family can make a careful choice after returning and actively participate."

"What I want to say is that opportunities are always accompanied by risks. No matter what, I hope everyone can return safely in the end."

After Guan Qing finished speaking, everyone bowed and left.

After a while, only Guan Qing, Zhao Liyi, Bai Lao and Xia Lao were left in the meeting room.

Everyone was silent, and the two elders Bai and Xia looked calm and composed.

Zhao Liyi saw that everyone else had left, then walked to the tea machine nearby and slowly brewed some tea.

About three to five minutes later, the conference room was filled with the aroma of tea.

"Oh, authentic West Lake Longjing tea, your Excellency is so grand." Xia Wenyan said sarcastically. At this time, Old Xia was like a sulking child, spreading his hands and leaning lazily against the back of the chair.

Zhao Liyi brewed tea and served it to the three people.

"You have a good secretary. She is much more observant and better than you. You always like to put on airs."

Bai Songshi commented after taking a sip of tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai. You are so kind. Everyone has their own suitable position. I am actually more suitable for taking care of people."

Zhao Liyi bowed slightly to Bai Songshi and expressed his gratitude.

"I still don't like the way you intellectuals talk. Do you mean that Guan Qing is fit to be the chairman? He has been walking around naked in front of us since he was a child. How can we not know how many moles he has?"

I didn't expect Xia Wenyan to be such a straightforward person.

"Liyi!" Guan Qing awkwardly stopped Zhao Liyi who was about to speak. He coughed a few times, then stood up and shook his clothes, "Ahem, Mr. Bai and Mr. Xia, please give me some face, otherwise how can I convince others in the future."

"After all, I am the chairman." Guan Qing drank a gulp of Longjing tea and rolled his eyes quietly.

"Let's skip the narration and just tell me what other ideas you have." Old Bai said after taking a sip of tea.

"We are too lazy to do those crooked things. Reputation is something you earn yourself, not given by anyone else."

Seeing that Mr. Bai was really a little angry, Guan Qing shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know what kind of magic potion that brat from the south has fed you that you have to defend him like this."

"Then let's get down to business. In fact, Nan Fang is indeed the most qualified person to participate in this operation. But after careful consideration by Li Yi and I, we finally decided that I hope Nan Fang can represent our country's Beijing University to compete in this World Academy Competition."

The official is honest and upright.

After hearing Guan Qing's decision, the two elders were stunned, then frowned and began to think.

Xia Wenyan didn't care. He said he was just curious, and he and Lao Bai had been friends for many years, so he had to help.

After listening to this, Bai Songshi carefully considered the pros and cons.

"What's the reason?" Knowing that Guan Qing did not make the decision out of prejudice against the South, Bai Lao returned to his usual gentle demeanor.

Seeing the change in Bai Lao, Guan Qing grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Tsk, if you don't know, you would think Nan Fang is your long-lost grandson."

"You little bastard! If he is really my grandson, then I would have no wishes in this life!" Bai Songshi scolded with a smile.

Looking at Mr. Bai's reaction, Guan Qing became interested in this young man again.

"There are three reasons."

"First, theoretically, this island operation should be easier than the college competition. With such a rich harvest, those old-timers are still trying to squeeze people in. There is no way they would agree to someone like Nan Fang who has no background and has made mistakes."

"I said that everyone should sign up enthusiastically, but in fact, only 20 people can be retained at most. Quality is more important than quantity!"

Guan Qing's eyes suddenly became sharp. He could turn a blind eye, but he couldn't cross the bottom line.

Bai Lao nodded to show his understanding. After all, the old antiques still have a considerable amount of decision-making power.

"Secondly, Nan Fang is our first choice no matter where he is. Not only you, but also Senior Long Xing, who has been secretly protecting him in recent years, strongly recommended him. So we plan to put him in the upcoming college competition."

"Although the dragon race is strong, its fertility is relatively weak. Therefore, in order to better continue the race, the opportunity of the college competition, which is held only once every eight years, is extremely precious."

"Do you still remember the first three times, that is, our country's achievements in the past 24 years?"

Guan Qing held up three fingers in frustration.

"Three fights, three defeats."

Old Bai and Old Xia also had dark faces, secretly cursing their younger generations. Because these three matches happened to be Xia Yanhua, Bai Xingjian and their generation participating in the competition. No wonder Long Xing always complained that Nan Fang and his generation were getting more and more crooked. This was an unorthodox and imminent continuation of the old generation.

"Fuck! You two old guys! You didn't even include me in your private chat!"

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and Long Xing pushed the door open and walked in, shouting.

Although Long Xing is a little younger than Bai Laoxia, they were teammates who had been through life and death together, so he has no scruples towards them.

But in order to show that he is younger than them, Long Xing refused to be called Old Long.
