It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

Capt. Sun really felt like he was beeping.

He was going to be beaten again for no reason.

I just wanted to show off in front of my superiors, but now something like this happened again.

But he didn't even ask why because it was too late.

Two detectives had already dragged him outside.

Soon, screams and the sound of hitting boards began.

"You, lead the way!"

Sun Fuling pointed at Wu Youde.

Wu Youde didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly led the way.

Soon, they bypassed the noisy streets and finally came to a secluded alley.

At this moment, there was no one in the alley.

The doors of every house were locked.

Wu Youde pointed to a place, meaning that that was Zhou An's room.

Sun Fuling looked up at the old house and frowned slightly.

He didn't expect how such a character could be in such an old place.

But after all, he sat in the position of the governor, and he was well-informed.

He knew that some people had little quirks, which in the eyes of ordinary people were considered unique.

But in the eyes of these people, it is extremely normal.

For example, he once met a master who loved to eat spicy tofu pudding.

Even if he saw such a heresy, he would frown.

"Go and knock on the door."

Sun Fuling was stunned for a while, then asked Wu Youde next to him to knock on the door.

Wu Youde smiled bitterly. He did not expect that things would develop like this.

A small policeman, someone he had never even looked at, but at this moment, big shots wanted to come to his door one after another.

This situation is really rare in life.

Wu Youde even regretted it a little.

He shouldn't look down on others and underestimate Zhou An.

At this time, he had no choice, because the government order had already been issued, so he had no choice but to walk to the door, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

Soon, I remembered the sound of footsteps.

With the creaking sound of the wooden house, the door was opened.

Zhou An stood at the door with a calm expression.

"Several adults have come to my humble residence and I don't know what they can give me."

After all, he is a master who is about to enter the second-tier level. Of course he knows that someone is at his door.

Even with his sharp five senses, he could sense it, but he didn't know why he came to him.

Thinking of this, Zhou An's eyes lingered on Wu Youde with a kind of contemplation.

"If this guy is looking for trouble, have you found a way to solve it?"

This is what he really thinks.

His character has always been like this. Only by eliminating all hidden dangers can he feel at ease.

When thinking this way, his eyes naturally looked a little creepy.

Wu Youde only felt goosebumps rising on his body.

I always feel like a prey, being targeted by a hunter.

"Brother Zhou, this is the governor of Yunlai Mansion. He came here to see you for something."

Wu Youde even changed his title.

Zhou An nodded: "I wonder what the Lord wants to see me for?"

At this time, he seemed to understand what Tiejiang Zhao meant. When a person's identity changes, the attitudes of those around him will change.

He remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life.

When you're down and out, everyone around you is bad.

When you are prosperous, the people around you are good people.

This world is so realistic.

Sun Fuling looked at Wang Meng next to him.

Wang Meng nodded imperceptibly, indicating that he did not admit the wrong person.

"Brother, can you please come in? There is something wrong with discussing things here." Sun Fuling said with a smile.

When these words were spoken, Zhou An felt something was wrong.

The person in front of him, who is in a high position, should be a scholar himself, but his conversation has an air of quackery.

Sun Fuling seemed to have been used to it for a long time and knew what Zhou An was thinking, so he even explained it.

"I came from a poor family, became a monk halfway, and spent some time in the world of martial arts, so I naturally have the tone of a martial artist."

Zhou An touched his chin: "Master Sun, who became a monk halfway and has reached his current position, he is really talented."

I don't mean this as a compliment. A person like this who is a monk halfway and can hold a high position must be talented.

"Brother Zhou, can you let me come in and have a chat?" Sun Fuling continued with a smile.

Zhou An thought for a moment, made way for others, and brought Sun Fuling and others in.

There is enough light in the room.

Zhou An made them a pot of tea and sat down.

Customers come to your doorstep, and they come with a smile. There is no reason to drive them out with a broom.

Zhou An has always adhered to one sentence in his values.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

It is difficult for such people to survive by using their cold buttocks to stick to other people's hot faces.

"Yes, Brother Zhou is very good at picking tea. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad." Sun Fuling is indeed someone who has been around in the world, and he is not at all restrained.

At the scene, only Wu Youde was standing.

He dared not sit.

He had offended the two people in front of him all the time, and now he sat down blatantly, fearing that he would be scolded.

"Master Sun, let's get down to business. What is it that bothers a noble man like you to come to my place?" Zhou An asked.

Sun Fuling was just polite, knowing that it was time to talk business, so he pointed directly at Zhou An's waist without any unnecessary nonsense.

"Brother Zhou must be a Taoist. The thing on your waist is not simple."

When Zhou An heard this, he took a fancy to his waist.

There was a pink money bag tied there, which contained his various equipment.

For example, a frying pan and a long knife that I made myself.

This money bag was given to him by Ye Shuang. The person who made the money bag was the top supervisor of the craftsman and was also the uncle of Blacksmith Zhao.

According to Blacksmith Zhao, it seems that the original blacksmith of the Casting Branch is focused on maximizing the characteristics of the objects he casts.

Zhou An raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Sun is overthinking this. This thing was given by my friend. I am not a Taoist, so I may disappoint you."

At this time, Wang Meng, who had been silent, spoke.

"This thing is extremely precious. How could someone give it away randomly?" Wang Meng said: "This is the way of the original blacksmith. Among the two existing branches, the original blacksmith and the spiritual blacksmith are completely different. You can tell it at a glance."

"Oh?" Zhou An became interested and asked, "Who is this brother?"

Wang Meng cupped his hands and said, "My dear Wang Meng, I am also a former blacksmith. I was once fortunate enough to be the apprentice of the blacksmith's supervisor."

Superintendent?

Zhou An was slightly surprised.

The so-called supervisor, that is, the head of the craftsman's supervisor, is Blacksmith Zhao's uncle.

In other words, this Wang Meng is the apprentice of the supervisor's apprentice, and can be regarded as the nephew of Blacksmith Zhao.

"This world is small enough." Zhou An thought.

Sun Fuling smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, people in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. Now the founding competition is in full swing. You have such strength, why don't you participate?"

This is actually the purpose of his coming here.

To be honest, when a task is issued by the superiors, you have to be able to figure it out.

Only when you think about it well can you complete it well.

The Casting Competition is obviously taken seriously by the superiors, so it must be completed well.

What counts as a well-done job?

In addition to ensuring fairness, we must also ensure quality.

Quality is a big deal, no joke.

For example, if the venue where you are hosting finally selects some talents, but these talents are actually useless, what will you do then?

Although the superiors will not blame you, the image of your inaction will be remembered by the superiors.

Don't think about getting promoted and getting rich. If something happens and makes your superiors unhappy, you will be rewarded.

Therefore, Sun Fuling believes that the key to improving quality is to allow more people with real abilities to participate.

The more passionate you are, the better, so that you can attract attention from above.

Zhou An is a smart man, and of course he knows what Sun Fuling is planning.

He pointed at Wang Meng next to him and said: "Brother Wang, with his status, must be very capable. He will definitely be able to shine when the time comes. There is no need for a nobody like me to participate."

Again, Zhou An didn't want to cause trouble at all.

With a golden finger on his side, he is truly a salty fish.

No one messes with him, he's just a decent guy.

If someone comes to mess with him, he will kill everyone who messes with him.

"It's different. With a few more people, it will be more lively. What's more, Wang Meng doesn't care." Sun Fuling still didn't give up.

Wang Meng nodded and said: "Building the Tao is a path that must be practiced for a lifetime. People of our generation must overcome obstacles and are not afraid of difficulties. How can we be afraid of a competition? The more masters there are, the more we can compete with each other and let ourselves Advance with great joy!"

Zhou An touched his chin: "But, I'm really not a master."

What Wang Meng said just now was very good, but it did not shake his heart at all.

Sun Fuling was still thinking of what to say.

Zhou An waved his hand and said: "Master Sun, I'm just a nobody. I really don't want to show up. If this is really the case, you don't have to say anything."

When people live in this world, they must know how to refuse.

Don't be a pleaser.

The word "reject" is easy to write, but difficult to learn. As long as you learn it, your life will go much smoother.

Sun Fuling chose to keep his mouth shut.

After so many years in the world, he could feel that Zhou An seemed to have made up his mind.

"Alas..." Sun Fuling sighed.

"In this case, I don't want to persuade you too much. If Brother Zhou really wants to participate, he can go to Yunlai Mansion to sign up at any time."

The twisted melon is not sweet.

Sun Fuling knew that the other party really didn't want to go, so he didn't persuade him any more.

He was very pressed for time, but he still found time to come here this time, so he left Zhou An's room without intending to stay longer.

Zhou An sent Sun Fu Ling and others to the door, then closed the door and continued to go to Gan Chef Ding to get his chops.

…

On the way back, Wu Youde kept greeting him with a smile.

Sun Fuling remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"Master Sun, how about I come here to persuade you every day and find a way to persuade Zhou An to participate?" Wu Youde felt that this was the time for him to show off and said quickly.

Sun Fuling came back to his senses and shook his head: "You don't understand."

Wu Youde couldn't understand what it meant and expressed confusion.

"Those who can stand out in every industry have been immersed in it for many years. Not to mention other things, they definitely have a persevering heart. When they decide on something, not even ten cows can pull them back."

Sun Fuling sighed and said: "I can only say that I don't have this blessing. I won't say any more. I have to go. Remember, you must take good care of the place under your jurisdiction. If I don't find any laziness in you, I’ll make you walk around without food!”

Wu Youde shivered and said he understood.

He remembered something again. Qi Shuo told him about the master in the blacksmith shop.

So, he told the matter again in a flattering tone.

Of course, he hid Qi Shuo, after all, he still had to rely on the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce to climb up.

So I attributed this matter to myself and said I found it myself.

Sun Fuling originally planned to go back, but when he heard this, he felt a little moved.

If the casting master just now is not willing to participate, then another one will participate.

This matter can also be partially solved, at least it will be fruitful.

It’s not like every master has Zhou An’s temper, right?

Well, probably not.

Thinking of this, Sun Fuling quickly asked Wu Youde to lead the way.

Wu Youde thought to himself that if he could get it done this time, he would definitely change his image in Sun Fuling's mind.

He didn't hesitate and immediately led the way.

Soon, they arrived at Blacksmith Zhao's blacksmith shop.

Sun Fuling walked in naturally.

As a result, he saw a very unexpected scene.

"Disciple Wang Meng! Meet my uncle!"

Wang Meng reacted very quickly and came to Blacksmith Zhao in a flash.

Master...Uncle Master?

What kind of weird operation is this?

Sun Fuling felt that there seemed to be too many surprises in today's trip to Anding County.

Blacksmith Zhao put down the hammer and was also very surprised.

"Wang Meng, aren't you staying at Yunlai Mansion? Why are you here today?"

They are all from the same sect, and although their teachers and junior uncles are not easy to deal with, it is all a matter of their own family. Outside, everyone still loves each other and is a family.

Wang Mengyan explained it briefly and concisely, and then Blacksmith Zhao suddenly understood.

He thought this was coming specifically to see him, but he didn't expect it to come here.

"My Sun Zhisu, I have met Senior Zhao." Sun Fuling said with cupped hands.

The top craftsman supervisor is of high seniority, and his junior apprentice's apprentice is naturally of high seniority as well.

Those who work in official circles these days always have some discernment, not to mention that Sun Fuling comes from Jianghu and has a Jianghu aura.

However, Sun Fuling is still a little regretful, because this casting competition is mainly for young people.

The man in front of me is no longer a young man.

Tiejiang Zhao is actually a very good person. As long as he is not allowed to do things he doesn't want to do, he is usually quite kind.

Therefore, facing Sun Fuling's smiling face, he also responded with kindness.

"Master Sun, it turns out that you are also here for that boy Zhou An, but you are in the wrong place. That boy is a stubborn donkey and cannot be persuaded to come back."

When Tiejiang Zhao said this, he looked like he was gritting his teeth.

He had never seen such a person in his life, and he didn't even want to be a craftsman supervisor.

Sun Fuling sighed and said, "Yes, I think this game will be exciting if he is there."

This is what he really thinks.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Blacksmith Zhao.
