Chapter 1267 Song Wenxin

After more than a month.

East China, Demon City.

As winter deepens, the streets of Shanghai become increasingly deserted.

The north wind was like a sharp knife, causing a stinging sensation when it scraped across my cheek.

People on the streets put on down jackets, scarves, and gloves, wrapping themselves tightly. Even the girls who love beauty put away their light skirts and put on thick leggings and long boots. Even so, they still unconsciously shrink their necks when walking in the wind.

Xia Yu sat in the office, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

His brows were furrowed, and he looked through the glass at the bustling city below, with a heavy heart.

"President Li's secretary just sent me a message. They will be here in an hour." Eve stood beside Xia Yu and spoke.

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded slightly.

Li Ruilin is the President Li that Eve mentioned. Half a month ago, the headquarters of the China Pokémon Association issued an announcement, electing Li Ruilin as the President of the China Pokémon Association.

After Li Ruilin took office, he showed a courage different from any previous president. He immediately began to carry out drastic reforms, and the first thing he did was to make personnel changes in Champion.

Southwest regional champion Lu Tinghe was transferred to South China to serve as Northwest regional champion.

Northwest regional champion Zuo Qi was transferred to the Southwest region to serve as Northwest regional champion.

East China regional champion Long Fan was transferred to the Northeast region to serve as the Northeast regional champion.

Xia Yu, the top four kings in East China, serves as the acting champion of East China.

After a series of operations, the champions of the seven regions across the country, except for the South China champion Jian Yi, the North China champion Duan Hongzhi and the Central China champion Mi Ye, the champions of the other four regions were swapped.

This is also to prevent a champion from serving as champion in the same region for too long, to prevent local forces from becoming powerful and forming separatist regimes, and thus to safeguard the rights of the Pokémon Association.

Especially for champions like Northwest Champion Zuo Qi and Southwest Champion Lu Tinghe who have served in a region for more than ten or even twenty years, the Pokémon Association's decrees are not as effective as their words.

There are even popular terms such as "King of the Northwest" and "King of the Southwest" in the area.

The two champions also had complaints about Li Ruilin's appointment, but Li Ruilin personally went to the Northwest and Southwest regions to communicate and talk with the two champions.

The specific content of the conversation is naturally unknown, but both Southwest Champion Lu Tinghe and Northwest Champion Zuo Qi accepted Li Ruilin's appointment and went to the Northwest and Southwest regions respectively.

Today, Li Ruilin will personally travel to the East China region to talk with Long Fan and Xia Yu and announce the personnel appointments.

Xia Yu was not surprised by Li Ruilin's arrival.

What surprised him was a call from Li Ruilin the day before yesterday afternoon.

After research and decision by the China Pokémon Association Headquarters, Han Dingguo, President of the East China Pokémon Association, was transferred to the Imperial Capital Pokémon Association Headquarters as Vice President, and Song Wenxin, former Vice President of the China Pokémon Association, was appointed President of the East China Pokémon Association.

Xia Yu knew that Han Dingguo had been transferred. He was surprised that the new president of the East China Pokémon Association would be Song Wenxin.

Xia Yu and Song Wenxin were not familiar with each other. The only time they met was during the last meeting in the imperial capital.

"Song Wenxin..." Xia Yu murmured softly, thinking about Li Ruilin's evaluation of Song Wenxin in his mind.

"Xia Yu... although you're not familiar with Song Wenxin, she's an exceptional person both in character and ability. The only thing she lacks is strength. It's perfect for her to come to the East China region and serve as the president, partnering with you."

"Don't be resistant. I spoke with her before coming here, and she took the initiative to apply for a transfer to East China."

"She will be in charge of government affairs, and you will be in charge of security matters."

"Also, transferring Han Dingguo is also to facilitate your investigation of Han Dingguo's affairs, but you must be careful and make sure to lock down the evidence. You cannot attack Han Dingguo's opponent before you have the key evidence."

"As for the investigation into Han Dingguo, you can talk to Song Wenxin about it. She's one of us, and I've already told her to cooperate unconditionally with your investigation of Han Dingguo."

…………

"Half an hour later, notify everyone to go to the top floor to pick up President Li." Xia Yu gave the order.

"it is good."

…………

after an hour.

Li Ruilin and his group of more than a dozen people arrived at the headquarters building of the East China Pokémon Association in a mighty procession.

"Old Li." Looking at Li Ruilin's figure, Long Fan walked forward enthusiastically with a sincere smile on his face.

"President Li." Xia Yu also followed behind Long Fan and greeted Li Ruilin.

"Long Fan, long time no see." Li Ruilin, wearing a neatly tailored dark gray suit, with his hair combed straight and his eyes sharp as a knife, shook Long Fan's hand and said, "From now on, the affairs of Northeast China will be left to you."

"I'm not very familiar with the Northeast, so I'll need your and Lao Duan's help."

"You... you should ask your wife and father-in-law for more help." Li Ruilin let go of his hand and joked with Long Fan, "She's a local."

When Long Fan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Long Fan’s wife Chu Qishuang is a native of Northeast China. Before leaving her job, she was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Northeast region. The Chu family is also one of the wealthy families in the Northeast region.

This time, Long Fan went to the Northeast region to serve as the champion, and he would need the support of the Chu family.

"You guy." Long Fan smiled and shook his head.

"Xia Yu." Li Ruilin suddenly spoke, his eyes passing Long Fan and landing on Xia Yu. He smiled and walked to Xia Yu's side, gently patted Xia Yu's shoulder, and nodded slightly: "Do a good job."

"Yeah." Facing Li Ruilin's gaze, Xia Yu nodded slightly. He found that after not seeing him for more than a month, Li Ruilin's aura became more majestic.

"The East China region will be handed over to you from now on. Old Duan and I have high hopes for you. Don't let us down." Li Ruilin nodded at Xia Yu and spoke.

He spoke a little slower than before, and each sentence ended with unquestionable certainty, without any unnecessary interjections. His every gesture revealed a sense of calmness and reliability.

"Well, President Li, I will try my best." Xia Yu also showed a serious expression on his face and nodded vigorously.

"Don't feel too stressed, you've done a great job." Li Ruilin smiled and patted Xia Yu's shoulder with an encouraging look on his face.

He and Lao Duan are already old, and the future of China will sooner or later be handed over to Xia Yu: "Take your time, don't be impatient, you are still very young."

After Li Ruilin finished speaking, he looked at the people behind Xia Yu. His eyes swept over Han Dingguo, the president of the East China Pokémon Association, Gu Ying, the electric-type king, and Li Ruochen, the grass-type king. His eyes were filled with casual scrutiny. It was not a deliberate criticism, but more like the instinct of being accustomed to taking control of everything around him in a moment after being in a high position for a long time.

Finally, Li Ruilin fixed his gaze on Han Dingguo, nodded slightly at him, and said, "Dingguo, I've carefully reviewed the leaders of the Pokémon Associations in several major regions. You've managed the East China region with such success and brilliance. I've specially transferred you to headquarters to assist me. Please help me when you get there."
