When Li Yi walked into the investigation bureau again, he found that Zhang Lei, the captain, was already waiting at the door.
"Li Yi, just now Zheng Gong has told me about your matter. It just so happens that we are also waiting for you to wake up and discuss with you about the quota for the Golden Academy. This matter is indeed very important and has a lot to do with it. If it can be resolved early
It’s good for everyone, follow me to the conference room.”
Zhang Lei said straight to the point, while looking behind Li Yi.
After confirming that Li Yi's mother had not appeared, he felt a little more at ease.
"Okay." Li Yi nodded.
Soon, Zhang Lei took Li Yi to the conference room of the Investigation Bureau. In the conference room, there were several senior officials of the Investigation Bureau, who looked a little serious.
After saying hello, Zhang Lei motioned for Li Yi to take a seat.
"Li Yi, let's make a long story short. The quota for the Golden Academy was actually decided while you were in coma. Currently, there are three people in the Investigation Bureau who are qualified to obtain these two quotas. One is Director Pete, one is you, and the other is
It’s Gu Mengping who joined the Investigation Bureau very early and became a foreign war officer.”
"However, Priest Peter is the oldest and has the greatest merit. His quota is almost locked and there will be no changes. The only dispute is who between you and Gu Mengping gets the quota to enter the Golden Academy."
"It is precisely because of the controversy that the Bureau of Investigation has kept the matter of quotas secret and has not made any publicity so far."
Zhang Lei was very direct and told the current situation about the quota for the Golden Academy.
Li Yi's expression changed, and he looked at Zhang Lei, but before he spoke, a senior executive said: "Gu Meng Pingsheng is senior. Li Yi, your advantage is that you have made a lot of contributions recently, but your disadvantage is that you have just reached the spiritual realm now.
Your strength is a bit weaker. If you enter the Golden Academy, it will be a very stressful thing for you. There are too many weirdos there, and you will easily be excluded and bullied at your level. All things considered, I prefer Gu Mengping.
It is safer to go to Golden Academy."
"If the investigation bureau has already decided, then why did you come to me specifically to talk about these things? Isn't this unnecessary?" Li Yi frowned at this moment.
At the same time, he expressed his dissatisfaction.
If you can't get a quota if you have many meritorious services, then who will be willing to contribute to the mission in the future?
"Li Yi, don't be angry. There are still many people in the Investigation Bureau who think you should go to Golden Academy."
Zhang Lei said: "Everyone has their own considerations. Some people think that it is better for a foreign war personnel from the Lingjue Realm to go to the Investigation Bureau. This is less likely to cause controversy, but I agree with you going to the Golden Academy."
"In my opinion, Gu Mengping's potential is not as good as yours. Going to the Golden Academy is not of much use. It's just that he has been a member of the Investigation Bureau for a long time. Indeed, the Bureau of Investigation has done a lot of things and participated in every mission. It's a pity that he has been there for a few years.
There were relatively few meritorious services in this mission, so there was controversy."
"Zhang Lei, it doesn't matter whether there is a dispute or not. What matters is what the decision of the Investigation Bureau is? But from what I just saw, it seems that the Investigation Bureau is more biased towards Gu Mengping. If this is the case, then what happened to the previous mission?
? Just draw a pie? This method is very good from your point of view, but what I want to know is, next time there is an urban crisis, will the practitioners still be willing to cooperate with the investigation bureau? "
Li Yi then stared at several senior executives and spoke sharply.
Several senior executives fell silent immediately.
Li Yi said again at this moment: "I now understand a little bit what the Investigation Bureau means. They want me to give up the competition and let Gu Mengping win the spot. This will take care of the emotions of the older generation of the Investigation Bureau and at the same time reduce my exposure to the outside world."
What's the impact? If that's the case, then I have nothing to say, but I will resign immediately, give up my status as a foreign combatant, and disband the team at the same time."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several senior executives suddenly changed.
The strength of Li Yi's team now cannot be underestimated. In addition to him, there is also Lin Yue, a spiritual master, and several spiritual realm practitioners.
If Li Yi resigns, the strength of the Investigation Bureau will be greatly reduced, and the impact will be very bad. It may cause a chain reaction and cause many foreign war personnel to leave.
After Li Yi finished speaking, he immediately stood up and wanted to leave without giving the senior executives a chance to think.
"Li Yi, wait."
Zhang Lei's expression also changed and he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be so impulsive. Sit down and discuss it later."
"Didn't we discuss it just now? One quota cannot be given to two people. Since the Investigation Bureau chooses Gu Mengping, then I will be a loser in the competition and it is natural for me to resign. Okay, Zhang Lei, you don't have to persuade me.
I was hurt when I got it, and I have something else to do, so I left first."
Li Yi is very decisive in his work. Since he can't get the quota, there is no point for him to stay in the investigation bureau.
Zhang Lei didn't dare to stop him anymore.
Because Li Yi at this moment is not an ordinary practitioner of the Inspiration Realm, and he is not even his opponent. If he really tries to stop him by force, the impact will not only be bad, but it will also cause unpredictable results.
"Li Yi, calm down, things haven't reached this point yet."
"It's not that we don't support you, but there are some things that must be considered."
"Li Yi, we can compensate you elsewhere. Zhang Lei, stop him quickly."
Several senior executives in the conference room also panicked.
The result they least wanted to see happened after all. Once Li Yi left, many things would have a chain reaction.
However, Li Yi ignored him at this moment and still pushed open the door of the conference room and strode away.
"Li Yi, let me tell you the truth. The real reason why we did not choose you is not because of Gu Mengping's qualifications, but during the ten days when you were in coma, that Gu Mengping passed the test of the illusion of the bone mural, and through that
He succeeded in breaking through this opportunity, and now he is no longer a spiritual practitioner, but a strong man who has condensed his soul."
At this time, Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and told a secret.
You can't say it now, otherwise it will be too late if Li Yizhen walks out of the investigation bureau.
Hearing the news, Li Yi stopped immediately. He turned around and said, "What? Has that Gu Mengping become a strong man in the soul realm?"
"good."
Zhang Lei took a deep breath and said: "It is precisely because of his breakthrough that the Investigation Bureau had to let him get a place to enter the Golden Academy. If he didn't do this, then no one would know that a strong man in the soul realm was staying in Tianchang.
What kind of things will the city do? If he holds a grudge against you, Li Yi, then you will be in danger. The Investigation Bureau has no choice but to let him get the quota and send this guy away."
"Now I understand why all the senior officials of the Investigation Bureau have changed their tone and are willing to support Gu Mengping. It turns out that his strength has broken through." Li Yi's expression changed slightly, and now the doubts in his heart were solved.
I really didn't expect that Gu Mengping would have such luck. He could successfully condense his soul and achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation within these ten days with the help of the Bone Temple murals.
But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.
This Gu Mengping was originally a well-known master of spiritual awareness in Tianchang City for a long time. Like Yang Yilong and Li Shaoqing, he had been stuck at the peak of spiritual awareness for a long time. It would not be surprising if he suddenly broke through.
I just didn't expect that Gu Mengping would make a breakthrough at this juncture, which immediately changed the quota that originally belonged to Li Yi.
It won't work without changing it.
He is the only strong person in the Soul Realm in the entire Tianchang City. It is really unreasonable not to send him to the Golden Academy but to send Li Yi, who only has the Inspiration Realm.
A strong man in the soul realm has too much influence, and no one can restrain him. The quota given by the Investigation Bureau may not be without some sense of flattery.
To put it bluntly, no one dared to offend Gu Mengping.
Zhang Lei said: "Now you understand the investigation bureau's difficulties, but this news is still blocked. Except for a few of us, outsiders don't know that Gu Mengping has made a breakthrough. We didn't tell it before.
Gu Mengping asked for confidentiality before, so I had no choice. I originally wanted to discuss it with you first, but I didn't expect your reaction to be so big."
"Of course, I also understand. After all, you have really done well in completing tasks recently. If you can't get a place, I believe there will be many people who are not convinced, but a strong person in the soul realm must also take care of it, otherwise what will happen?
The matter is also a big trouble. The current Gu Mengping is not Yang Yilong. With the restrictions of Li Shaoqing, Taoist Priest Pete and I, he can almost walk sideways now. If something happens, we can only watch helplessly.
Nothing can be done."
Speaking of this, he was also very aggrieved.
The world has finally changed.
Whoever is stronger is the boss, and even he has to compromise.
"Now that you have said this reason, I can understand the difficulty of the Investigation Bureau." Li Yi said: "It's just that the Investigation Bureau said before that quotas will be awarded based on merit, not based on qualifications or realm. If only I had known that this was the case.
If so, maybe I should not participate in the mission and just stay at home to practice and achieve breakthroughs. Wouldn’t that be better?”
Zhang Lei also fell silent at this moment.
Because there is indeed nothing wrong with what Li Yi said, and it is right to be dissatisfied.
At this time, a senior executive gritted his teeth and said: "Li Yi, how about this, we each take a step back, you give up your place in the Golden Academy, I let you become a crossover, and everything will be business as usual from now on, what do you think?"
"Um?"
Li Yi suddenly focused his eyes and looked at the senior executive: "Can I become a cross-border person without entering the Golden Academy?"
"Of course, the Investigation Bureau has internal channels. It's no problem to put one person in." The senior executive said seriously: "Li Yi, if you believe me, I will take care of this matter. And there was a cross-border operation recently. You
As long as you agree, I guarantee there will be results within ten days."
Zhang Lei also looked at the senior executive in surprise at this moment.
Even he didn't know about this.
However, the Bureau of Investigation has far-reaching influence. It is behind everything, and the probability of winning a cross-border quota is still very high.
Li Yi's eyes looked thoughtful at this moment.
To be honest, he also knew in his heart that it was an ironclad fact that Gu Mengping would enter the Golden Academy as soon as he broke through. There was no way that he would be shameless enough to squeeze out Priest Peter's quota. After all, he was not as good as Priest Pitt in terms of qualifications and merit.
That's why I was eliminated.
But what surprised him was that the Investigation Bureau actually dared to give a cross-border quota as compensation.
After all, many people enter the Golden Academy just to cross the border and leave the earth, find a better world to live in, and avoid the Tianqing Incident.
"I have to think about it." Li Yi did not agree immediately, but he also indirectly relaxed.
"No problem, you can think about it," the senior executive said.
Li Yi nodded and then strode out of the investigation bureau.
After seeing Li Yi leave, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"That Gu Mengping is really hateful. If you don't want to make a breakthrough, you have to do it now." Then the senior executive slammed the table and said angrily: "The quotas have been determined before for Li Yi and Priest Peter to go to the Golden Academy, and now he is interfering.
With one kick, we are no longer human inside and outside the investigation bureau."
"There is no way, many things are unpredictable." Another senior executive sighed.
Zhang Lei said: "Li Yi's existence is very special. His importance is no less than that of a strong soul. In fact, I still stick to my previous opinion and think it is better to let Li Yi go to the Golden Academy and let Gu Mengping become a cross-border person."
.”
"The quota for the Golden Academy is a matter of fact. Everyone can be convinced by allowing a strong soul to go there, while the quota for cross-border students is an internal preferential treatment. The two are different. This matter will be like this for the time being. Let's see.
Will Li Yi agree? I hope he can understand a little bit of our difficulties."
"That's all."
With the end of this meeting, the matter of quotas has come to an end for the time being.
Chapter completed!
