Knowledge was not intelligence, knowledge was not experience, knowledge was not ability, and knowledge was not talent. Conversely, intelligence, experience, ability, and talent were not and could not replace knowledge.
The biggest advantage of a city compared to the wilderness was that it had a relatively complete industrial system. The industrial system needed a civilization to maintain it. For any city, no matter how difficult it was, it had to continue to nurture knowledgeable people because that was the foundation of a city's existence.
Gao Qi entered the school when he was seven and graduated when he was 22. He lived and lived in a small campus for 15 years. To many people, it was like living in a prison, but to Gao Qi, it was a paradise for him to learn.
In the wasteland after the apocalypse, it was not difficult to nurture a knowledgeable person, but it was definitely not easy. Therefore, Chaoxi City was worthy of Gao Qi.
But here was the problem. Chaoxi City had spent a lot of money and resources to nurture a university student. Even if he was a liberal arts student who did not have any direct effect on work, he should not have been driven out of the city to fend for himself.
Even if the city's capacity was limited, there were still people who could be eliminated. Why did it have to be a university student who had just graduated?
Even a fool could see this problem, but the higher-ups who made this decision were not fools. So, who had the liberal arts student offended?
Gao Qi had always wanted to ask this question, but he did not have the chance or anyone to ask. Now that Huang Fei had asked it for him, no one was willing to answer.
The meeting room fell into silence.
Li Jin looked at Huang Fei and then at Gao Qi. After a slight hesitation, he looked at Liu Qiang and whispered, "Hmm, a liberal arts student is indeed not suitable to join the City Guard. Otherwise …"
Just because Gao Qi was a liberal arts student who had just graduated, Li Jin quickly changed his mind. He did not want Gao Qi to join the City Guard.
Huang Fei opened his mouth to speak, but Qi Xianghui gave Huang Fei a warning look and said, "Why don't we arrange for him to be in the management department? He can do some file management work first."
Was he going to be betrayed? After saving the three big shots, if he couldn't repay them for saving his life, why not just kill them?
Gao Qi choked on his anger. He was so angry that his head was a little dizzy.
Liu Qiang whispered, "Working in the management department is pretty good."
Huang Fei exclaimed in shock, "How can that be? He's from the Special Ability Group … "
Qi Xianghui frowned. "You won't be in charge of the Special Ability Group anymore."
The corner of Huang Fei's mouth twitched, but he did not dare to refute Qi Xianghui. However, at this time, Han Ruofeng said softly, "Well, we still need Minister Zhang's approval to transfer people from the Danger Control Department. This … is the work of our Special Abilities Group …"
The two team leaders of the Special Ability Group were going to fight against the three giants.
This was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. In front of Gao Qi, Han Ruofeng and Huang Fei were his thighs, but in front of the three giants, they were nothing. However, they still stood up for Gao Qi.
Therefore, Qi Xianghui and Liu Qiang were very surprised, and then Liu Qiang's face immediately turned ugly.
Liu Qiang was about to speak, but at this time, Li Jin smiled and said, "It does need Minister Zhang's approval, but it has to be approved by Group Leader Huang first. That's why I asked Group Leader Huang if he is willing to give up his treasure. I don't lack a secretary. Since Xiao Gao is a fresh graduate, although he is not a secretarial major, he is almost the same as a literature major. He can be considered a professional match for me."
The difference between a secretarial major and a literature major was far, but this was not important. What was important was that Li Jin wanted to protect Gao Qi again, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Huang Fei was a little surprised and said, "Secretary?"
Liu Qiang's face turned ugly again. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.
Li Jin wanted Gao Qi to be his secretary. This was a promotion, a big promotion. The implication was that he would protect Gao Qi.
Huang Fei and Han Ruofeng immediately looked at Gao Qi, and then Han Ruofeng said in a sharp voice because of excitement and excessive speed, "Congratulations, Secretary Gao!"
Huang Fei said anxiously, "Congratulations, congratulations. Why don't you thank Speaker Li!"
Han Ruofeng was afraid that Gao Qi didn't understand what he meant, and Huang Fei was more direct. He asked Gao Qi to thank Li Jin, because both of them were worried that Gao Qi didn't understand the key point, so they didn't dare to hint and directly said it.
Gao Qi thought about it and hesitated. After thinking about it again and again, he felt that Li Jin seemed to be a good person. At least he didn't bite the hand that fed him. So he bowed and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
As soon as he said this, the whole room was shocked.
Huang Fei whispered, "You fool … You … You …"
Han Ruofeng thought that Gao Qi was a very smart person. How could he suddenly become stupid?
Gao Qi whispered, "Uncle Li, you may not remember me. My father is Gao Feng, and my mother is Kang Qingping."
Li Jin's expression froze, and Qi Xianghui frowned as if he was thinking about the name Gao Feng. Then he stood up in surprise, and Liu Qiang's cigarette slipped from his fingers.
Huang Fei was stunned, and so was Han Ruofeng. The atmosphere in the living room became heavy. At this time, Huang Fei finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is Gao Feng …"
Han Ruofeng pulled Huang Fei and whispered, "The first director of the shelter. He was the one who named Chaoxi City!"
Gao Qi straightened his back, looked at Li Jin, and whispered, "I met Uncle Li when I was young."
Li Jin looked at Gao Qi from head to toe, then whispered, "The wind rises from the end of the green duckweed, and the waves rise from the small waves. Your father really named you Gao Qi. I told him that the name didn't sound good, but he said that it didn't matter if it sounded good or not. The important thing was the meaning."
Liu Qiang picked up the cigarette from the ground, took a puff, and put it out with three fingers.
Li Jin walked in front of Gao Qi and looked at Gao Qi with a slightly confused expression. He nodded and said, "You are indeed very similar to your father. Uh, all these years …"
There was no need to ask. The orphans of Chaoxi City's guardians were all the same. They were sent to the nursery when they were young, then to primary school when they were older, then to secondary school. If they were talented, they could go on to university.
In fact, the treatment of the students was originally the same, but after the separation of the inner and outer cities, the treatment changed. However, the difference in treatment gradually widened in recent years. Generally speaking, Chaoxi City was definitely worthy of the orphans of the city guardians.
Then, was there any relationship between Gao Feng and Li Jin? There was indeed. Gao Feng was the first director of the shelter, and Li Jin was an officer of the shelter's guards. When the captain and vice-captain of the guards died in battle, it was Gao Feng who promoted Li Jin to the captain of the guards.
Li Jin looked at Gao Qi for a while, then nodded and said, "Good, very good. You've grown up. I'm very happy."
Li Jin was once Gao Feng's subordinate, and he was promoted by Gao Feng. After that, there was no after.
After five years of the alien beast war, more than half of the people in Chaoxi City died. Someone had to take over the positions of those who died. Those who were capable would eventually stand out.
Therefore, Li Jin relied on himself to get to where he was today. He was once Gao Feng's subordinate, but they were only colleagues. At most, they had a bit of friendship because they interacted more often.
Of course, Li Jin had his own comrades and brothers, but Gao Feng was not one of them. Gao Feng had died too early, and they had too few opportunities to interact.
If Li Jin and Gao Qi had any special friendship, he would naturally go to Gao Qi. He did not, so naturally, there was no special friendship between them.
Li Jin did not ask why Gao Qi did not look for him all these years, because he did not look for Gao Qi either.
However, he could not say that.
"Back then, the war was a mess. People died every day. In the beginning, there were people in charge of keeping records. Later, even the people who counted the casualties and registered the names went to the battlefield. There were no records left. Many people died in battle without leaving behind a name. Sigh, after so many years, I still don't know if you're still alive. Little Qi, I couldn't find you, but why didn't you look for me …"
Li Jin was telling the truth. He had not only experienced the war, but also the apocalyptic war. He was now lamenting and explaining why he did not look for Gao Qi all these years.
However, since Li Jin explained why he did not look for Gao Qi's son, it meant that he still had to take care of his old friend's son. Although it was not much, it was enough. He could guarantee that Gao Qi would have a bright future in Chaoxi City.
These words were not only for Gao Qi, but also for Liu Qiang and Qi Xianghui.
So far, this was just a show of trying to curry favor with the son of an old friend. Other than Gao Qi, everyone thought so.
However, that was not what Gao Qi meant. He did not want to curry favor with Li Jin because he felt that it was meaningless and knew that it was meaningless.
Gao Qi took a step forward and asked sincerely, "Uncle Lee, can you tell me why the liberal arts students are assigned to the outskirts of the city?"
The allocation of the graduates was the management department's job. Li Jin did not care about it. However, Gao Qi called him uncle because he wanted to ask for an answer.
It was still the same sentence. Even a fool could see that it involved the decision of the highest level. Naturally, it was not a question that even a fool could answer.
Li Jin sighed. He looked at Qi Xianghui and smiled bitterly. In the end, he said helplessly, "This question is actually not easy to answer. However, since you asked, and you're from the literature department, then … Department Head Qi, please explain it to you."
Qi Xianghui forced a smile. Why did he have to force a smile? It was because he used to be Gao Feng's subordinate. He also had to have some feelings.
"Little Gao, this question is a bit difficult to explain. However, this matter is really related to you, so I'll tell you. Actually, if you want to blame someone, you have to blame Shurian."
Gao Qi said in a low voice, "What did Professor Su do?"
Qi Xianghui said with a serious face, "He destroyed the stability of Chaoxi City and caused unnecessary trouble for our production. To put it bluntly, the ideas he promoted had a great destructive effect on Chaoxi City. Students like you have been influenced too much by him, so we had to get rid of these black sheep who were influenced by Shurian."
As expected, it was true.
Gao Qi hesitated and then said in a low voice, "Then why didn't you kill him?"
