Chapter 1260: Zhu Qingrui's Nemesis 1

When asked, Wang Yingzhi did not answer immediately.

She held a compass and looked around; every time she reached a room door, someone would take the initiative to open it for her.

When she walked to the innermost room on the second floor, however, no one helped her open the door, and people looked one after another at the Office Director.

In their gazes, besides inquiry, there was more schadenfreude.

"This room has a major problem," the Great Immortal said with a very serious expression.

Zhu Qingrui had endured for a long time, but now he could finally bear it no longer and rebuked angrily: "This is my room, what problem do you say it has?"

The Great Immortal: "Whether there is a problem, and how big the problem is, I will only know after looking. Open the door."

"No."

He refused flatly: "Stop putting on an act and fooling people here. The little tricks you use are all things I used to use. You have no right to enter my room unless the President permits it."

Qi Heng said: "Nonsense, how can the Office Director's room be entered just because one wants to? Do not enter."

He still needed to use Zhu Qingrui now and had to give him face.

But he also could not watch him develop too quickly, so he invited the shaman to disgust... and check and balance him.

The Great Immortal could not enter the room, but she did not give up. She said to the President: "That's not right, you let me enter your room and office just now, why can't I enter his?"

"Of course, not entering is also fine, but because his room cannot be checked, if there is a deviation or inaccuracy in the overall situation, you cannot blame me."

Her implication was—if something bad happened in L Country again, it would be because this room was not altered.

It would be the Office Director's fault, and it would have nothing to do with her.

Such a big pot to carry, Zhu Qingrui could not take the blame.

So he retorted, questioning whether the Great Immortal was unworthy of her reputation.

Originally, he thought quite simply, assuming it would not be difficult to expose her.

Putting on an act and fooling people, the things used were all about the same. When his brother Zhu Qingxiang was alive, he had relied on this skill to fool quite a few people. Although he did not know as much as his brother, he understood some.

The Great Immortal was not annoyed and asked in return: "You suspect me, do you have evidence?"

Zhu Qingrui:...

No evidence.

All the evidence was favorable to her; it could not be brought out.

The Great Immortal retreated to advance: "I see it now, your Presidential Palace is not run by the President, but by the Office Director. Since you don't trust me, I won't waste time here anymore. Goodbye."

She turned to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Qingrui: "Wait, you're just leaving like this? Is it because you have a guilty conscience?"

"What a joke, you are nitpicking to find fault with me, and I shouldn't leave? You are too unreasonable. You can't produce evidence, yet you want to detain me? When I came, my apprentices all knew I came to the Presidential Palace. If I am not seen alive or dead, what you people in L Country have done will immediately spread across the whole world..."

"... Oh, I remember now, your L Country's reputation is already terrible, you don't care about one more thing, right? But you are too outrageous, aren't you?"

"The entire staff of the Presidential Palace is dealing with one old woman like me; how idle are you?"

Wang Yingzhi's rapid-fire series of questions made Zhu Qingrui's face turn the color of pig liver. Although the President did not speak, his expression was not good either.

Zhu Qingrui knew that if he did not make a concession, he was afraid his future days would not be easy, so he scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, isn't it just wanting to see my room? Come in."

"This isn't very good, is it?"

The President objected, hypocritically: "Director, if you don't want others to see your room, then forget it. It's no big deal to see one less room."

"Don't, still come in and look, lest there be something bad in the future and it becomes my responsibility. I am just a small Office Director, I cannot afford such a big pot."

The Great Immortal walked into his room grandly.

Zhu Qingrui said to the others standing at the door: "Everyone come in and look, to save her from talking nonsense. You all look, maybe you can be a witness for me later or something."

Since he had said so, others naturally complied, and they all swarmed in. A group of people looked around as if they were sightseeing.

They were curious.

The Office Director's room was never allowed to be entered by anyone; even the cleaners were not needed. He did the cleaning himself, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he would immediately close the door tightly.

He also never invited others to his room.

His room was very mysterious, and today everyone finally got to see it.

There was nothing strange. The Great Immortal looked very carefully, holding the compass and turning around everywhere, even looking under the bed.

The more carefully she looked, the uglier Zhu Qingrui's face became. Several times he wanted to interrupt, but in the end, he held back and did not speak.

Actually, his room had no secrets. This was the Presidential Palace; even if there were secrets, they could not be carried out here!

The reason Zhu Qingrui did not let people into his room was because he was a germaphobe.

Now a whole crowd of people had walked in wearing their outside Spring Shoes; how many bacteria would this bring in?

Finally, the Great Immortal finished looking.

She said to the President with a straight face: "This room needs to be adjusted. Opening an extra window on this side and adjusting the layout and ornaments will be enough."

Zhu Qingrui walked out; let them toss it however they wanted, he did not want this room anymore.

He disliked having large windows in his room the most. Having been displaced since childhood, he was very sensitive to light; if the light was too strong, he felt no sense of security.

If his room layout had to be changed, then it would be better to change to a new room.

He thought that was the end of it?

Zhu Qingrui was still too naive in front of Wang Yingzhi.

The matter was not over, but just beginning!

Wang Yingzhi tossed the Presidential Palace about thoroughly, and everyone from top to bottom was tossed by her. After all, only tossing Zhu Qingrui alone would be too obviously targeted; she had to "treat everyone equally."

The Presidential Palace took on a new look. Actually, there were no major changes; she mainly changed some ornaments and the color of the curtains.

But Zhu Qingrui felt very uncomfortable in his heart and frowned all day without speaking.

He felt a deep threat approaching.

He really wanted to get rid of Wang Yingzhi, but he could not do it for the time being.

The old woman had come prepared; she was followed at all times by eight burly men. They were called apprentices, but in reality, they were bodyguards protecting her personal safety.

In fact, she was overthinking; as long as she did not leave the Presidential Palace, Zhu Qingrui would restrain himself and not make a move.

Wang Yingzhi did not leave, and even moved in!

She was appointed by Qi Heng as the "Protector of the Nation Great Mage" and remained at the Presidential Palace to hold the post!

Zhu Qingrui objected, but the objection was ineffective.

Qi Heng had a very sufficient reason: "Keeping her here gives her no real power; it is merely borrowing her reputation to put the common people at ease, and to make the whole country believe that our nation's previous failures were because the feng shui of the Presidential Palace was bad."

"As long as everyone believes that we will get better, there will be hope and motivation; as long as the masses are of one mind and everyone works toward the same goal, could the development of L Country be anything but good?"

A series of high-sounding, grand principles left Zhu Qingrui speechless.
