Xu Wendong gave Elder Fang a thumbs up under the table, feeling quite admiring in his heart.
He hadn’t expected that Elder Fang, this war god, would actually grasp his idea.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have told Chen Guoan to return to work once he recovered.
Because even if Chen Guoan wanted to return to work,
since he had been absent for so long, his previous position had long been replaced by soone else.
Without a strong backer, even if he fully recovered, he wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything.
Chen Guoan was taken aback.
He seed not to expect Elder Fang to say such a thing.
After regaining his senses, he said, tears welling up, "As long as the country and people need , Chen Guoan, I am willing to strive to my utmost for the people, and only rest in death."
"As long as you don’t forget your original intention, I believe you won’t let down the party, and won’t let down the people," Elder Fang changed the subject, "Have you eaten? Would you like to grab a bite together?"
"I’ve already had sothing," Chen Guoan quickly said, "This is a specialty from my hotown that my nephew sent over before the year, I brought it over for you to try, and I hope you don’t mind."
After handing it to Xu Wendong, he made his farewell and then maneuvered his wheelchair out of Elder Fang’s courtyard.
Though he hadn’t eaten lunch,
he dared not stay longer to eat.
Because the strong presence that Elder Fang had, even he couldn’t withstand it.
To take a step back.
His goal for this visit had already been achieved, there was no need to stay longer.
However.
Before leaving, he gave Xu Wendong a grateful look.
Chen Guoan had mixed within the system for so many years, climbing from a grassroots position to beco a sub-provincial level officer, he certainly had exceptional abilities.
How could he not see Elder Fang’s purpose in recuperating in Haicheng?
Simply put.
Xu Wendong was paving the way for him!
Xu Wendong was a blessing in his life.
------
Elder Fang said, "Actually, Little Chen has visited many tis before, but I didn’t see him."
Xu Wendong looked embarrassed, cautiously asking, "Do you not like him?"
Elder Fang shook his head, "On the contrary, it’s precisely because I like him very much that I didn’t see him."
Xu Wendong picked up the bottle and poured Elder Fang a cup of wine, "I feel your actions are very contradictory."
Elder Fang sighed, "Little Chen has a certain aura, an unstoppable sharpness, fearless of the heavens and the earth. In him, I see the shadow of my younger self."
"For this reason, I want to see how high he can climb relying on his own abilities."
Xu Wendong: "The moon waxes and wanes, and people have fortunes and misfortunes."
"If he hadn’t fallen seriously ill, he might have already reached that pinnacle of power!"
Elder Fang shook his head dismissively, "Sotis pausing is not a bad thing, but for a better sprint! Especially soone as ambitious as Little Chen, he needs to go through so setbacks and tempering."
Xu Wendong suddenly understood and then raised his glass, "Co on, don’t talk about those things anymore. Let’s have a drink."
Elder Fang cheerfully said, "Co on, I’ve helped you such a big favor, give a cigarette to smoke, will you?"
Xu Wendong sternly said, "Go play aside!"
Elder Fang angrily said, "You ungrateful brat."
-------
Just as Xu Wendong was finishing his lunch,
he received a call from Geng Biao.
He had already had soone send over the materials for refining the Qi Refining Pill, asking Xu Wendong where he was so that the materials could be delivered to him.
Xu Wendong directly gave the address, then left the sanatorium, taking a taxi back to the civil servant community.
He did not take the special car to co here.
Because he was unsure if Ji Ning might reveal his location.
Upon returning to the community, a Land Rover SUV was already parked downstairs.
Inside the car were six burlap sacks.
They contained the materials needed for refining the Qi Refining Pill.
Though there weren’t many sacks, the materials inside were worth fifty billion, causing Xu Wendong a bit of heartache.
After the driver delivered the materials upstairs,
Xu Wendong sat cross-legged, took out the Ge Furnace, and began refining.
He needed to quickly recover his strength and then heal Chen Guoan. Only after Chen Guoan fully recovered and returned to provincial work could his plans proceed.
Thus, he needed to quickly refine the Qi Refining Pill.
The Qi Refining Pill.
This was an essential elixir for cultivators, it wouldn’t be an overstatent to call it a Spirit Pill, and it was still sowhat challenging to refine.
Even though Xu Wendong had refined many types of elixirs before, two consecutive batches ended in failure.
However, he was not discouraged, summarizing his previous failures and learning from them.
Only on the third batch did he successfully refine the Qi Refining Pill.
Looking at the slightly red elixir in his hand, Xu Wendong directly popped it into his mouth to chew, the elixir was soft, slightly bitter, with a hint of sweet aroma.
"One elixir and my strength has already recovered by a third!"
"This Qi Refining Pill is indeed a Spirit Pill."
Xu Wendong was full of excitent, and then he set about refining the fourth batch of elixirs in the sa way, except this ti he refined ten elixirs in this batch.
After successfully refining the elixirs, he swallowed two of them in one go, his True Qi also returned to its peak state.
Initially, he planned to ride the montum and swallow the few remaining elixirs to step into the Qi Refining Stage Level Six cultivation level, but considering it was already ti for work, he ultimately abandoned this thought.
Then he took the elevator downstairs.
At this ti, Liu Shii and Ji Ning were chatting together, and upon seeing Xu Wendong, both of them imdiately beca serious, giving off a no-nonsense aura.
"There’s nothing at the bureau, right?" Xu Wendong looked at Liu Shii.
Liu Shii: "No, there isn’t."
Xu Wendong nodded, "Since there’s no work, why not take a walk by the seaside, to feel the local customs and practices here!"
Xu Wendong wanted to investigate the missing reinforced company.
He had a hunch.
Since the Haicheng Annals didn’t record anything related, those people were likely hiding in so small mountain village, perhaps even already assimilated.
Only by finding their whereabouts could their intentions be understood.
Following Xu Wendong’s instructions, Ji Ning drove them to a remote small pier in the southeast. After parking the car, the three took a small motorboat, and after more than an hour of sailing, they finally arrived at a small fishing village with just over a hundred households.
This small fishing village was located behind a continuous stretch of Qing Shan, with no land route, and the villagers traveled entirely by fishing boats.
Also, due to the inconvenient transportation, this village was very impoverished.
However,
the seawater here was extrely clear, you could see many colorful fish frolicking and foraging in the water.
Xu Wendong casually remarked, "Though the scenery here is pleasant, it’s too far from the outside world, there are many inconveniences in life, whether it’s education or dical care, these are significant issues. Has the governnt not implented any relocation policy for this village?"
He felt that all of this was quite unreasonable.
