Chapter 64 Selective and Stable Talent
Chapter 64 Selective and Stable Talent
"Mr. Su Tu, now that you've reviewed the information about this calamity, what do you think...?"
Bot smiled, his voice carrying a hint of ingratiation.
However, Su Tu understood that he was trying to get rid of him.
Come to think of it, it's fine if he's the only one saying those things.
But besides him, there was also Bot in the office.
If someone happens to pass by the door and overhears, trouble is very likely to follow.
After all, there were many of Bot's political enemies within the reconnaissance team who coveted the position of team leader that Bot held.
If these people hear this and report it, Su Tu might not be in much trouble, but Bote might be.
His status and position are what they are, plus Su Tu has the princess protecting him.
Bote was just an ordinary citizen who joined the reconnaissance team and rose to the position of captain because of his outstanding abilities.
Even among true nobles, he was merely a dispensable nobody.
These remarks, which stirred up conflict between the church and the royal family, were exploited by those with ulterior motives, and for Bote, they were going to backfire badly.
That's why Bote interrupted Su Tu's speech, and despite the danger of offending Su Tu, a nobleman, he subtly gave him the order to leave.
Since Su Tu had already achieved his goal, he had no intention of lingering here any longer.
He simply stood up and walked out of the office.
But he suddenly stopped just as he stepped one foot out the door.
Seeing this, Bote felt slightly puzzled, not quite understanding why the young master had stopped.
Could it be that he harbors resentment towards me and is preparing to make things difficult for me?
He guessed, and his heart began to grow uneasy without him even realizing it.
"Bot, you've done a good job as captain, but I think with your abilities, this position is still a bit too low."
Su Tu turned his head and said these words out of the blue, leaving Bote completely dumbfounded.
"Bang—!!!"
The sound of the door closing instantly woke Bote up, and he was still thinking about Su Tu's words.
Before long, excitement spread through his eyes until it filled his entire face.
"He...he wants to promote me?!"
His current position is the captain of the first reconnaissance team. If he could be promoted, he would become the head of the first team.
The captain is only in name; his main responsibility is to carry out the tasks assigned by his superiors.
The real captain is actually the person in charge of the team, whose main responsibility is to issue tasks to those below.
The team leader, who is also considered a high-ranking member of the reconnaissance team, can participate in decision-making on major events.
It can be said that the difference in power between the two is not just a little bit; it's like heaven and earth.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Bote could only tremble as he pulled a roll of cigarettes from his pocket.
After putting the cigarette in my mouth, I subconsciously took a puff, but found that the familiar sensation didn't explode in my mouth.
He glanced at the cigarette, only to realize it wasn't lit, and hurriedly pulled out a magical tool resembling a lighter from his pocket.
With a snap, a red spark appeared on the cigarette butt, followed by wisps of white smoke that slowly rose, blurring the view.
He took a deep breath, and the familiar sensation exploded in his mouth, instantly calming his excited mood.
He slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke, only then realizing he had returned to reality.
"Su Tu and Her Highness the Princess have a very good relationship, so if it's him... it should be fine."
As he thought this, Bot brought the cigarette in his hand to his mouth again, trying to calm the overwhelming excitement in his heart.
......
On the other side, Su Tu was unaware that his words had made Bote so excited that he couldn't even smoke properly.
However, his real desire was to promote Bot.
From the initial contact to now, it seems that Bote is selectively conservative in his work.
He strictly follows the orders issued from above, and the results will definitely meet the expectations of those above.
With his extensive experience, he can guarantee that those above him will be satisfied.
It was through this talent that he successfully rose to the position of captain of the reconnaissance team.
Of course, this is also related to his outstanding abilities.
If you can only please those above you but have no ability whatsoever, you will never become a team leader.
Such capable and pragmatic individuals who can satisfy their superiors are extremely rare.
Su Tu wanted to promote him to a higher position because he wanted to see if he could use this person to do things for him.
He has his own people among the high-ranking members of the reconnaissance team, which will make future operations much easier.
This can be considered a casual move; let's see if it brings significant value in the future.
However, making it easy for Bot to rise to power is by no means as simple as it seems.
Fortunately, with the princess's connection, it wasn't too difficult to know where to start.
As Su Tu pondered, his feet unknowingly stepped onto the corridor leading to the room.
However, just as he was about to reach the room, he suddenly paused.
But soon, he took a few steps forward and spoke slowly in a calm tone:
"Eve, what brings you here?"
He didn't address her as "Your Highness," indicating that their relationship was relatively good.
Such a form of address can shorten the distance between two people, making the other person subconsciously regard you as a special person.
Everyone else respectfully addresses Eve as Princess, but Su Tu, who is not a member of the royal family, addresses the princess by her given name.
Over time, his standing in Eve's eyes will rise, which will be more advantageous for his subsequent actions.
This subconscious action of Su Tu shows that his body has developed a habit of keeping something in reserve.
"Su Tu, I'm here to talk to you about something."
When Eve heard Su Tu's words, she turned around and looked at him, a beautiful smile appearing on her face.
It was dazzling, at least in Su Tu's eyes.
The current Eve is quite different from before.
Of course, the difference might be even greater than before it became a calamity.
"It just so happens that I also have something I need to discuss with you."
What Su Tu was referring to was, of course, arranging for Bote, a potential ally, to be placed in the upper echelons of the reconnaissance team.
However, now is not the time to discuss this matter. Let's see what Eve wants to say first before making a decision.
"My business isn't urgent. Tell me what you wanted to talk to me about first."
Su Tu opened the door and invited Eve to come in with him.
Before closing the door, he subconsciously glanced at both sides of the corridor to make sure no one was there before closing the door.
Upon entering the room, Eve was no longer as hesitant as before. She sat down in a chair and told Su Tu why she had come to see him.
"Actually, what I want to talk to you about is very simple. I plan to establish a sixth team within the reconnaissance team."
Upon hearing this, Su Tu frowned slightly and began to ponder silently.
Of course, on the surface, he still didn't show much emotion, just nodded silently and waited quietly for Eve to continue.
"This team is composed of calamities from the capital. I will be in charge, and you will be the captain."
"The main responsibility is to carry out tasks related to calamities."
Eve's next words made Su Tu's mind even more active.
If such a team were to actually be formed, it might not be a bad thing for me.
