Chapter 1001: There are actually people who don't want to be promoted

Liu She was called to the office.

At the door, he met Mu Qingshan, who winked at him and said with a smile: "Congratulations!"

Liu She looked confused; congratulations for what? What happy event did he have that was worth congratulating? Could it be that the Prison Warden...

"Hurry in, don't keep my lord waiting too long." Mu Qingshan reminded him again.

Liu She wanted to ask more, but the other party had already left in a hurry, holding a stack of documents, looking both hurried and busy.

"You're here, sit down and talk."

Chen Guanlou greeted Liu She to sit down and asked about his recent work and life situation very casually.

Liu She was currently serving as a squad leader in the Jia-grade prison, doing very well, and his monthly income was quite substantial; he himself expressed that he was very satisfied with everything now.

Chen Guanlou hummed. "Have you ever thought about moving, changing positions?"

Liu She looked confused, but at least he had some wisdom. "Everything is at my lord's command."

"It's like this: Prison Clerk Xu of the Bing-grade prison is old, his energy is insufficient, and there are often places he can't take care of. I plan to arrange another prison clerk in the Bing-grade prison to share the burden for Prison Clerk Xu and manage the prison well. I intend to promote you to prison clerk; what do you think?"

"This, this..."

The news came too suddenly; Liu She was at a loss for a while, stood up, and didn't even know where to put his hands.

His first sentence was not to thank him, but to show a lack of confidence, asking: "Can I do it? I haven't managed so many people, and I haven't read books, just know a few words. I'm afraid I won't do it well and will disappoint my lord's expectations. If I cause trouble..."

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly. He didn't expect Liu She to have such a reaction, lacking confidence. A prison clerk, without confidence, without courage, the prison guards below wouldn't be convinced. If the prison guards weren't convinced, the work couldn't be carried out. Plus, there was a tiger-watching Xu Fugui beside him; tsk, he felt a bit miscalculated.

It was really unexpected that after so many years, Liu She hadn't made much progress. Doing things still required someone to point out from the side, making it difficult to stand alone.

Prison guards are the most bullying of the soft and afraid of the hard.

In a different environment, he could give enough time for Liu She to slowly grind and fit in.

However, that mess in the Bing-grade prison, that bunch of five-poison-complete lawless prison guards, that bunch of Jianghu fierce bandits...

Headache!

"You stop thinking about things you don't have; just answer directly, do you want to be a prison clerk or not."

Liu She was very sensitive and sensed Chen Guanlou's dissatisfaction, becoming even more guilty and lacking confidence. "I naturally want to be a prison clerk, but I'm afraid I won't do it well."

"I heard from Chen Quan that you are doing quite well as a squad leader."

"It's all thanks to Prison Clerk Chen's guidance; he took good care of me." Liu She didn't take all the credit.

Actually, among the four people back then, he belonged to the most reassuring one, doing whatever he was told to do honestly. However, his ability was limited, and it seemed he really wasn't very suitable to be promoted to the position of prison clerk in the Bing-grade prison to fight against Xu Fugui.

If he didn't fight, he could barely manage, relying on Chen Guanlou's support to suppress the prison guards in the Bing-grade prison and handle the prison business well.

Since he had to fight, the individual must have sufficient ability. Liu She clearly wasn't very good! Otherwise, even with a backing, this position wouldn't be stable.

Just like when Chen Guanlou was suddenly promoted back then, transferred from a small prison guard to the Jia-grade prison to be a squad leader, being able to sit firmly in the position was all due to personal ability. Family background could only add icing to the cake, adding points when doing well. It would never add points when one couldn't handle it, only becoming a point for others to mock.

Chen Guanlou was a bit irritable and rubbed his temples; he had the heart to promote his former subordinates, but found they weren't qualified.

This is a mess.

"How about this, you go down first. Don't let this matter be known; I will consider it again."

Liu She was quite regretful; he felt he had been abandoned.

Afterwards, Chen Quan asked him what he was thinking at the time, why he wasn't more confident, why he was always worried about doing things wrong. If he had shown a little confidence and momentum, the position of prison clerk in the Bing-grade prison would have been his.

Liu She didn't hide it either. "I was really guilty. I'm serving as a squad leader now, and I'm already struggling; I'm often trembling with fear, and it's thanks to your care that I can hold on.

This time I have to go to the Bing-grade prison to fight against Xu Fugui, and I have no confidence at all. When my lord talked about this, I was at a loss, completely without the joy of being promoted and getting rich. I'm really worried about disappointing my lord's high expectations and losing face for him. If I am driven out by Xu Fugui, I can only apologize with death!"

Chen Quan reported the situation to Chen Guanlou, and Chen Guanlou could only sigh helplessly.

He had the heart to promote Liu She, but the other party couldn't handle it.

He had also thought about promoting Lu Datou, but that bastard Lu Datou, he was very happy to fight against Xu Fugui, but he was illiterate and didn't want to learn, and didn't want to sit in the office every day.

"Brother, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I'm really not that kind of material. My life is just like this; you let me run errands and pass messages, and I'm very happy. You let me sit in the office every day and sit in the office according to the rules, and I really can't stand it.

I'm afraid I'll make more mistakes than Xu Fugui. Wouldn't that disappoint your expectations? You'd better choose someone who is literate and capable; I'm really not good. You don't have to worry about me being unconvinced and making trouble in private; no matter who you choose, I guarantee to cooperate and help deal with Xu Fugui together."

Chen Guanlou laughed with anger; other people are hoping to be promoted and get rich.

Well, the people around him are all avoiding it. Is Xu Fugui so difficult to deal with?

Xu Fugui's biggest capital is that his seniority is old enough!

Just as an adult, he inherited the family business and served in the Heavenly Prison. After decades of mixing, the Heavenly Prison is half his home, and everyone from top to bottom knows him. He has a good relationship with the Six Shanmen, and he also knows a few people in the Ministry of Justice.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face; even if there is no credit, there is hard work. Because of his old seniority, the prison guards will also listen to his management and leave enough face.

Seeing Chen Guanlou looking worried and having no suitable candidate, Chen Quan stood up at the right time and recommended a person. "Does my lord still remember the prison guard Huang Ye?"

"I remember. He is a quick-witted and observant kid. What's wrong with him?"

"This kid Huang Ye has quite a bit of ambition, secretly reading and learning characters in private, and can already write and draw. I arranged for him to work under Liu She, and he did quite well. Many times, when Liu She couldn't make up his mind, it was this kid who came up with ideas. Originally, the plan was that if Liu She was promoted, he would be promoted to squad leader. Now that Liu She refuses to go to the Bing-grade prison, my lord, why not consider Huang Ye."

Chen Guanlou pondered for a while and nodded. "Take some time, call him over, and I'll ask him. If it's really suitable, it's not impossible."

Hearing this, Chen Quan was overjoyed.

He recommended Huang Ye; if Huang Ye was successfully elected, he would form an alliance with the other party. Xu Fugui would have to roll down sooner or later. ===== CHAPTER 1002 =====
