Chapter 61

"Ha, it's over!"
When Zhao Chenlu turned off the projection with relief, the relaxed smile on her face was particularly contagious.
However, the people around her couldn't laugh at her.
"Miss, are you serious?" Zhao Lingbo's eyes widened. Due to the heavy force, he even felt a sense of tragic feeling of rippling eyes, "Why?!"
"Because I don't want to do it anymore." Zhao Chenlu said naturally.
"No, don't you want to do it?" Zhao Lingbo was stunned again, and then felt his eyes were a little painful when he was staring.
Zhao Chenlu asked back, "What's the point of doing this Jinyu City Lord? The benefits are nothing more than two points. One is to be condescending and control the life and death of millions of people, but I never bother to control the fate of ants. In most cases, if I want people to do things for me, I don't have to use the identity of the City Lord. Just a smile is enough. The second is that the position of the City Lord is conducive to making money, but if you are with me for so long, do I look like a person who is keen on pursuing wealth?"
Zhao Lingbo subconsciously recalled it.
Ten years ago, Zhao Chenlu invited the gold medal band to perform at the Jinyusi Bamboo House at the 17th birthday party, and invited the famous food god in Liantian City to cook delicious food. Finally, he also gave the guests a generous gift. The budget for the banquet was 15,000 spirit stones, and the actual expenditure was 30,000 spirit stones.
Eight years ago, it was the 17th birthday party, Zhao Chenlu set up the location in the Nine Heavens Gangfeng layer on a whim, spending huge sums of money to build the pavilion in the wind and entertaining celebrities all over the world. The budget for the banquet was 31,000 spirit stones, and the actual expenditure was 7,000 spirit stones.
Five years ago, at the 17th birthday party, Zhao Chenlu suddenly wanted to see the full moon, so she still launched the Golden Jade Array to change the day and the sun was changed. The spirit stones consumed overnight were more than 500,000...
To say that Zhao Chenlu is keen on making money, that is of course completely absurd. She has never been keen on making money, but only keen on spending!
Zhao Chenlu glanced at Zhao Lingbo: "What are you thinking?"
Zhao Lingbo quickly replied: "Recalling the noble character of the eldest lady since Ren Chengzhu."
Overall, Zhao Chenlu's words are not wrong. She is actually not good at being the lord of Jinyu City...
Zhao Chenlu said: "I must have robbed this city lord in the past because I was looking for people. I mobilized the resources of the whole city to find people. After all, it was more convenient than me to do it alone. But now that people have found it, I naturally have no reason to continue to be the city lord. There is an ideal successor here..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hongxue next to him smiled bitterly: "Chen Lu, don't joke like this with me."
Zhao Hongxue looked at the theoretical biological daughter with a helpless look on her face, and then she helplessly touched the place where her neck was pinched. Although it didn't hurt, she felt a sense of burning embarrassment. In the public eye, being picked up like a product really made people lose face.
Although he had never considered any facial issues in front of his daughter for a long time.
"You are willing to find someone to take over. Of course, I have no objection to your affairs and it is never my turn to give my opinions, but how can I be the ideal successor?"
"Twenty years ago, you were the real city lord of Jinyu City. You are highly respected and received unanimous support from the elders. It took me a lot of effort to drive you down."
When talking about the old story back then, Zhao Hongxue was even more embarrassed: "I was young and ignorant at the time."
Zhao Chenlu looked at Zhao Hongxue: "I really don't want to?"
Zhao Hongxue waved her hand wildly: "I really don't want to, and I really can't do this city lord... To be honest, if I took over someone else's work, I'm probably a little sure of it, but your class is really hard to take over. I see everything you have done in the past 20 years. Although you may just do it casually, your wonderful ideas and genius make people sigh. But after being run by you for twenty years, this city is no longer something that I am a mediocre person."
Zhao Chenlu said: "Is that true? But even idiots like Zhao Hongwu can form a provisional government and replace it."
"They don't know how to live or die." Zhao Hongxue was not polite either. "Fortunately, they only had more than ten days in power, and most people had not yet reacted. If they were really allowed to take power, when Jinyucheng's economy declined or even collapsed, they would be pushed to the guillotine by millions of people!"
Zhao Chenlu then smiled: "I understand quite well, no wonder she is very honest over the years... However, I have decided on the handover of the city lord and don't want to waste time and argue anymore. If you really don't want to do it, just transfer the position to others, such as Zhao Hongwu, that idiot. When he collapses Jinyucheng, you can return to the public."
When Zhao Hongxue heard this, she finally lowered her head helplessly.
This daughter really saw through him.
Zhao Hongxue was indeed thinking about this. If Zhao Chenlu really wanted to hand over the shift, he would push Zhao Hongwu to the front stage. In his opinion, although Zhao Hongwu and others were very ambitious and had a rat, they would definitely be unqualified Jinyu City Lord, but they could serve as a filter to filter out Zhao Chenlu's legacy. Then, he, a mediocre person, could take over the position of the city lord.
At the same time, in a secluded restaurant box in Jinyu City, Zhao Hongwu stared at the projection that was gradually extinguishing, and his last words were still echoing in his mind.
She quit?!
The position of the city lord is handed over to Zhao Hongxue to inherit?
Which show is this? She finally got out of the seventeenth chain chain and got things right. Now is the time to rebuild authority, why did she retreat in a hurry?
This is unreasonable!
If something goes wrong, it will be a monster! Zhao Hongwu took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "You guys say, what kind of poisonous plan is hidden here?"
At the dining table, there were seven or eight Zhao elders of the same age as Zhao Hongwu.
As losers of the coup, they were accompanying Zhao Hongwu to join forces to keep warm and drink to drown their sorrows, but they heard Zhao Chenlu’s resignation declaration at the wine party. The veterans all put shocked expressions and pondered themselves.
"Can it be... a test of loyalty?" a veteran guessed, "It is to deliberately resign to check other people's reactions. If you don't try to keep her seriously, you will be disloyal to her..."
“It makes sense!”
"So that's the case. It's such a vicious scheming. Without further ado, let's write a letter to keep it!"
"Simple letters do not have the strength, preferably blood letters of the people... I happen to be a director in a cultural company and can buy services such as signatures of tens of thousands of people at a discount. I'll contact you now..."
Seeing that the elders were about to take action, Zhao Hongwu frowned and became tighter and tighter: "Is it that simple? Zhao Chenlu has always hated the reckless and flattering behavior of no technical content. Things like the Blood Book of the People may be effective for ordinary city lords, but in her opinion, it may be more like a joke. Moreover, is she really doing a show when she made the statement just now? She has found all the team members, and Zhao Hongxue... is indeed a very reasonable choice."
When the elders heard this, they immediately stopped and looked at each other.
"That, Hongwu Duke, in your opinion, what does she mean?"
"I can't figure it out." Zhao Hongwu said, "I just think that maybe she really wants to abdicate. But now I can't figure out why."
After a while of silence, someone suddenly gritted his teeth at the dinner table, "Maybe she is going to die."
Everyone around him was shocked when they heard this.
"Brother Xiandan, what are you nervous about? You can also say such words casually? What if she hears them?"
"Brother Xiandan, you are in danger of dying, but don't do it yourself..."
The old man named String Broad was the one who planted a talisman seal by Zhao Chenlu in full view of the public yesterday, claiming that he would break out at noon the next day. Later, he returned home and invited famous doctors to treat it as a bankruptcy. Finally, the talisman seal was resolved. According to the famous doctor, the talisman seal was indeed Zhao Chenlu showed mercy.
"I'm telling the truth, what's there to do to commit suicide? Besides, if she wants to hear everyone's conversation just now, you are afraid now, don't you think it's too late?" The old man gritted his teeth, "With that girl's greedy for authority, if she hadn't encountered some big trouble, how could she suddenly resign? She was obviously afraid that if she continued to stay, people would see the weak nature! I said that the collision of the Broken Moon Sword Formation that day seemed to destroy the world. She was in the center, so how could she be safe! It's very likely that she had already received serious injuries that killed her and was just surviving!"
"Sterned male, your guess is too subjective..."
"Then why do you think she wants to resign?" The old man Xiandan was stinging his arguments. "If you want me to say, if you have enough courage, you can order all your troops and fight to the death with her! This is our last..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly froze, then bleeding from his seven orifices and unconscious.
Next to him, Zhao Hongwu took back his right hand and said expressionlessly: "The brother's talisman seal exploded, and he was confused. I can't remember the nonsense he said just now."
The other elders nodded: "It's true, we can't remember it either."
"However, Zhao Chenlu's resignation cannot be taken lightly..." Zhao Hongwu frowned, "What should I do?"
When a group of people were at a loss, someone sighed and said, "At this time, of course we have to keep a low profile."
"Hong Wen? What do you think?"
