A Top Scholar in Everything

Villiduo.

In many people's mouths, this place is referred to as Dream City.

Countless dream seekers come here, filled with passion and revenge, only to return disappointed in the end.

Yet even so.

This place is still filled with the dreams of those who drift in from afar.

Every year, people who chase after those illusory and vain dreams come here in an endless stream.

Bang!

A stack of documents was slapped onto the office desk.

Jie Ding walked over to the coffee machine, poured in a large box of coffee beans, with an expression of fatigue that was hard to hide.

Working at the Veterans Mutual Aid Association is not easy.

Especially him, as the head of the Logistics Department.

Retired veterans always have all kinds of troublesome issues.

Adding that none of them are easy to deal with, this further increases the difficulty of their work.

Besides.

Jie Ding's personal life is also very miserable.

This makes him drag his heavy body to work every day, and coupled with the nature of the job, it makes him increasingly despondent.

Knock, knock. Knock.

The office door suddenly knocked.

Jie Ding was slightly startled.

Those veterans usually use their feet to kick open the door, since when did they become so polite?

"Come in."

Jie Ding only paused for a while, then spoke.

Creak...

The door was opened.

A young and handsome man walked in, with a smile on his face at all times, making it impossible not to feel good at just one glance.

Of course.

If that young man was just astonishingly handsome.

Then the person behind him.

Made Jie Ding feel somewhat unreal.

Even though the other party had disguised themselves, when they took off their sun hat and mask after entering, he recognized their identity immediately.

This seems to be, the Third Prince of the Empire.

He had only seen him from a distance a few times at large banquets in Haiqing County, and he thought such a person high above could never have any intersection with him in his entire life.

"Minister Jie, I still remember you."

Shangguan Zi walked into the office, familiarly sat on the sofa: "At the last banquet, you seemed to have drunk too much, I remember it was my guards who escorted you back."

Jie Ding's face turned red.

Last time he tried his best to establish a connection with a big shot at the banquet, but ultimately failed.

In the end.

His status was just too low.

Just a minister of the Logistics Department for the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, he wasn't even a small fry in the Empire's pond.

"The Third Prince still remembers me. Is there an important reason for your visit this time?"

Jie Ding bowed.

The Third Prince's gaze fell on Baiyu, with a smile that seemed deep with meaning.

Jie Ding's gaze also turned over, carefully examining this handsome young man.

"Baiyu, a new employee at the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, President Liu asked me to come."

Baiyu took out an introduction letter from his pocket.

This letter was personally written by Pang Fei and sent to the president of the Veterans Mutual Aid Association.

The two had a deep relationship.

And Baiyu's parents seemed to also have been close friends with him.

So when President Liu heard that Baiyu wanted to develop in Villiduo.

He specifically arranged a good job for him.

Baiyu's current status is somewhat awkward, although he is an Imperial Baron, he has no actual duty, nor does he belong to the direct lineage of an aristocratic family.

Even though there is the Legendary Ship.

But Erza's report to the Empire is still under the Qiong Family.

The only normal status in his records now is as a freshman at Celestial South Martial Arts University, of course, that was when Celestial South Martial Arts University was still intact.

Very few students experienced this.

Studying and before you know it.

You are still here, but the school is gone.

Baiyu was very fortunate to have experienced such a bizarre event.

Luckily.

There was precedent in the past by the East Prosperity Imperial, and when a Martial Arts School was burned by foreign races, while the school has not yet been successfully rebuilt, all students were allowed to enroll in other Martial Arts Schools as registered students, and the same applied to teachers.

In other words.

If Baiyu wanted, he could immediately go to Haiqing Martial Arts University.

But he gave up that idea.

Because.

The Veterans Mutual Aid Association seemed quite appealing, not only containing many books unseen and unpurchasable from outside, but it was also very free.

"Introduced by President Liu? Oh, oh, please sit, please sit, it's a small place, don't stand on ceremony."

Jie Ding hurriedly invited Baiyu to sit down.

The Third Prince personally brought someone along, and President Liu personally introduced him.

The identity of this young man in front of him was at a level that Jie Ding could not possibly reach.

He felt that after forty years of life, he might finally be about to hit a turning point.

"Mr. Bai is my advisor, and also an Imperial Baron, Minister Jie, what do you think would be an appropriate position to arrange for Baiyu?"

The Third Prince spoke opportunely at that moment.

Jie Ding was slightly stunned.

Advisor?

Imperial Baron?

He furrowed his brows, not comprehending the meaning behind these words, and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, I remember advisors are supposed to be for each Prince..."

"That's right."

Shangguan Zi interrupted him, "Exactly.

That's why I asked you what kind of position would allow Mr. Bai to quickly enter the political and military circles of Haiqing County.

You know.

He lacks neither identity nor status right now.

What he lacks.

Is experience.

Of course, some stubborn old-timers in the Empire place the most importance on experience, which is why I'm here to ask you."

Jie Ding's face changed slightly.

If it's really as the Third Prince said, then this young man in front of him is likely to have an astonishing background.

Out to gain experience?

To be so young and already serve as an advisor to the Prince, and with President Liu not hesitating to personally recommend him, the family's background must be at the pinnacle of the Empire.

"I think the Inspection Department is very suitable for Mr. Bai.

Last month's Deputy Minister of the Inspection Department unfortunately died during an outside task in the Spirit Realm, leaving a vacancy.

Given Mr. Bai's status, he naturally wouldn't need to undertake tasks.

So.

The Inspection Department is the fastest place to earn achievements and qualifications."

"Inspection Department?" The Third Prince's inquiring gaze turned to Baiyu.

"Let's go with that."

Baiyu made the final decision.

...

"Sir, here's your uniform. And these are the seals, gun, work ID..."

The efficiency of Jie Ding at the Logistics Department was very high.

President Liu was not at the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, but after a phone call with the Third Prince, Baiyu's identity was immediately confirmed.

The management of the Veterans Mutual Aid Association is relatively lax.

Whether it was a promotion or demotion, that's something that doesn't need reporting to the high echelons of the Empire.

Of course.

This kind of relaxed management was what these retired veterans had strived for following the Celestial Essence War.

"Minister Jie, we are colleagues from now on. I can't bear being addressed as 'sir,' just call me Baiyu."

Baiyu said with a friendly smile.

The respect from the other party seemed to be due to the Third Prince's relationship.

However.

There's really nothing between them, at most, they're comrades who mutually keep each other's secrets?

Jie Ding chuckled, not answering.

The office of the Inspection Department is not very big.

The Inspection Minister, like President Liu, was not at the Veterans Mutual Aid Association, seemingly completing some tasks outside.

"It's almost time to clock off, so shall I take Mr. Bai to see the accommodation first?"

Once Baiyu's new identity was confirmed, Jie Ding suggested.
