Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 651 - 148. Got promoted again! (7000 words)_4
After Fang Ze's persistent inquiries, the Flower God also pointed out the flaw of Jiang Cheng, or rather all the civil servant Awakeners who climbed the ranks using resources: they are mentally unstable and particularly susceptible to being swayed by emotions.
Because these people didn't grow up through trials of fire and blood, they can exhibit some strength when emotionally stable; but once their spirits are shaken, their abilities are greatly impacted.
Therefore, Fang Ze just needs to employ the strategy of exhausting the enemy troops: strike with full force, then decline, and finally exhaust. Soon Jiang Cheng's spirit will fluctuate, and he will be unable to wield his full strength.
At that time, Fang Ze could seize the opportunity to take his life!
Now, Fang Ze had already taken the second step. Next... would be the most crucial one.
With this in mind, Fang Ze got out of bed, dressed, washed up, ate his meals with the help of several Different Race maidservants, and then was escorted to the Security Bureau by the butler.
Upon arrival at the Security Bureau, Fang Ze didn't idle away. Checking the time, he immediately dialed the female director's communicator.
When the female director received Fang Ze's call, she wasn't too surprised.

She looked at Fang Ze indifferently, and then spoke deliberately, "I thought you would have contacted me yesterday."
"I didn't expect you to be so composed."
Clearly not one for small talk, she regarded Fang Ze appreciatively, then bent her head to open a drawer, took out a document, and said, "Your handling of the events in Miaohua City was exceptional. You saved millions of residents and demonstrated the efficiency of our Xida State Security Bureau's jurisdiction."
"In addition, your status now is nothing like before. Thus, after the department's deliberations, your position is officially adjusted."
After saying this, she glanced at Fang Ze and said with a slight smile, "From today onwards, I shall refer to you as Director Fang."
Even before Fang Ze's identity was exposed, the female director had shown goodwill towards him, wanting to transfer Fang Ze to the Provincial Government to take charge of the entire State Security Bureau's Judicial Department.
The Judicial Department of the Security Bureau is the most crucial division of the entire bureau, responsible for investigating all cases throughout the state. It has the privilege to summons anyone from the senior city Security Bureaus and Investigation Bureaus, a department with real power. It is much higher in rank than a senior city Security Bureau director.
The female director had said that once Fang Ze made a significant accomplishment, he could naturally ascend to the position.
Previously, Fang Ze successfully rescued Miaohua City with Huo Lin, and with the Si Family's rising tide lifting his boat, this position fell naturally into his lap.
Fang Ze's thoughts were simple.
Although his future path was set and he would become an Executive Councilor in just seven or eight months, an Executive Councilor, while prestigious, needs a vast network and connections to be influential. His current experience is too shallow, and both his connections and relationships are severely lacking. Therefore, he needs a position with authority in a department with substantial influence to serve as a foundation and stepping stone.
His plans were straightforward. The position of head of the Judicial Department would suffice during his time as a reserve council member and as a council member. And when he became an Executive Councilor, it would be best to add the title of Deputy Director of the Security Bureau.
With such a position, wielding the state's most powerful enforcement department, along with the Si Family's immense interests, he would be able to stir up the storm by leveraging his influence throughout the entire state.
Aside from the future benefits, this position is crucial to his current plan to take down Jiang Cheng!
Without this position, Fang Ze wouldn't be able to execute his plan to hunt down Jiang Cheng flawlessly!
Thinking this, Fang Ze looked at the female director and said with a smile, "Thank you, Director Xie, for your generous support. I will arrange my work for the next couple of days. Then, the day after tomorrow, Bai Zhi and I will go to the Provincial Government to meet you."
The female director simply acknowledged with a cold "hm," and then said, "Yes."
After that, she added indifferently, "Make sure you arrange things well for Emerald City's Security Bureau. Although you will be moved up to the Provincial Government, your first task is still the Miaohua City incident and the investigation of Dahei Jialuo."
"Emerald City must not be neglected."
Hearing the words of the female director, Fang Ze first nodded and then asked another question, "What about that matter we discussed before?"
The female director didn't speak, only nodded.
Seeing this, Fang Ze couldn't help but spread a smile on his face, "Thanks, Director."
The female director said, "That's something I should do anyway."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Ze hung up the communicator. Once the communicator was off, Fang Ze wandered around the room for a while, then picked it up again.
"Little You, ask Bai Zhi to come to the office. I have something I need to talk to her about."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Little You quickly responded, "Okay, Director."
After a moment, Fang Ze's room door was knocked on "thump thump thump" from the outside, and then Bai Zhi, curious, pushed the door open, "Fang Ze, you wanted to see me?"
Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi and couldn't help but smile, "I have two pieces of news to tell you. Two good news and one bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Long before Fang Ze's identity was exposed, the female director had already extended an olive branch to Fang Ze, wanting to transfer him to the Provincial Government to serve as the head of the Judicial Department for the entire State Security Bureau.
The Judicial Department of the Security Bureau is the most important main department of the entire bureau, responsible for the investigation of all cases throughout the state. It has the special privilege of arbitrarily calling upon the security bureaus and Investigation Bureaus of various high-level cities and is a true department of power. It is more than just one level above a high-level city Security Bureau director.
At that time, what the female director said was that once Fang Ze made a significant accomplishment, his promotion would naturally follow.
Before, Fang Ze and Huo Lin had successfully rescued Miaohua City, and Fang Ze's status, boosted by the rising fortunes of the Si Family, made this position a given.
And Fang Ze's thinking was quite straightforward.
Although his future path was fixed, and in another seven or eight months he would become an Executive Councilor, the position of Executive Councilor, while high, requires a vast network of connections to be effective. His experience was too limited at the moment, and he lacked both connections and relationships. Therefore, he needed a position with real power in an authoritative department as both a foundation and a springboard.
His thinking was simple. The position of head of the Judicial Department was enough for him to be influential during his time as a reserve Council Member and then as a Council Member. And by the time he became an Executive Councilor, he should ideally also have the position of Deputy Director of the Security Bureau.
With the strongest enforcement department of the entire state in his hands, along with the Si Family's enormous benefits, he could exert influence throughout the whole state and stir up the winds and clouds.
Besides helping his future, this position was also a crucial part of his current plan to deal with Jiang Cheng!
Without this position, Fang Ze would have no way to perfectly execute his assassination plan against Jiang Cheng!
Thinking this, Fang Ze looked at the female director and said with a smile, "Thank you for your favor, Director. I'll arrange my work these next few days. Then the day after tomorrow, Bai Zhi and I will come to see you at the Provincial Government."
The female director coldly "hmm"ed and then said, "That's fine."
After that, she added indifferently, "You must make proper arrangements for Emerald City Security Bureau. Although you are moving up to the Provincial Government, your first job will still be the Miaohua City affair and the investigation concerning Dahei Jialuo."
"Emerald City must not be neglected."
Hearing the words of the female director, Fang Ze first nodded and then asked another question, "What about that matter we discussed before?"
The female director didn't speak, only nodded.
