Xiao Bing first told him about his plan to reorganize Dragon Gate, and then said to his ear, "I have discussed this matter with the eight generals of Dragon Gate, and they have no objections. Now I want to ask you to come out and be in charge of intelligence."
Ear asked, "Do you mean you want me to sit in the office like you?"
"Yes." Xiao Bing said, "I can also help you apply for a director-level position for you."
Ear smiled and said, "It sounds really good. If this was in ancient times, it would be equivalent to a civilian organization being incorporated and put in an important position by the state. I guess everyone is looking forward to such a happy ending."
Xiao Bing asked, "So Uncle Ear agrees?"
Ear shook his head and said with a smile, "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but this is not suitable for me. And you have to know that there is an intelligence department in the Ministry of National Security. Their intelligence system is more powerful. If you set up an intelligence system alone, what will others think? What will the intelligence department in the Ministry of National Security think? "
Xiao Bing frowned and said, "I have also considered this problem. Poisonous Fox once analyzed it for me, but I think …"
"I understand." Ear said, "You are thinking for my sake, but it is not necessary. I am already an old man, why would I care about being a director? What's more, if I'm really recruited, the information I have will be greatly reduced. Right now, I'm hiding in the dark. When the time comes, I'll be out in the open. Our deterrence to anyone else will be greatly reduced. "
Xiao Bing sighed and asked, "Uncle Ear, this is a rare good opportunity. Are you really not going to …"
"No," Ear said. The Ear said, "I have no interest in fame and fortune. If it's about money, I already have a lot of it. If it's about power, I am an old man with no descendants. What use do I have for power?"
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "If Uncle Ear really does not agree, then I will not force you."
"Well, in the future, I will continue to be in charge of your intelligence system in the dark as before, but there is no need to let the state know."
"I understand." Xiao Bing said, "Maybe your decision is right, but I feel that it is too unfair to you."
"There is nothing to be unfair about." Ear smiled and then coughed violently.
Xiao Bing hurried over and patted Ear's back gently. Ear waved his hand and sighed, "I am old, and my body is getting worse year by year. So tell me, is fame and fortune still useful to me?"
Xiao Bing looked at Ear and said with a puzzled face, "So I am even more curious. Uncle Ear, you have done so many things for me over the years. Without you, Dragon Gate would never have become what it is today. What is it for?"
Ear smiled and said, "A sense of accomplishment. I wanted to see you grow step by step with my own eyes. I'm already so old, and what I want to see most now is the birth of a miracle. You didn't let me down … Your growth over the years has been much faster than I imagined."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Uncle Ear, although you said that, I always feel that you treat me very differently. To be honest, although you have helped me, in my heart, I have always treated you as my uncle, as my family."
Ear smiled and said, "I also treat you as my family. Don't worry, I will not let you down. I will never do anything that will let you down."
"Uncle Ear, you don't have to say this. I believe you."
Ear suddenly said with a serious face, "Child, I want to remind you that you should never trust anyone, even the person closest to you."
Xiao Bing frowned and shook his head. He smiled bitterly and said, "I am afraid I can't do that."
Ear sighed and said, "Alas, what I said is true. You will never think of someone who will betray you, even me. No one is worthy of 100% trust. The more trustworthy the person is, the more harm they will bring to you after they betray you. If you want to achieve great things, you must remember this point. A true superior does not have absolute relatives, nor do they have absolute friends! "
Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "According to what Uncle Ear said, I am afraid I am just a layman and will never become a true superior."
Ear said, "This world is more dangerous than you think. Whether it is humans, gods, demons, or beasts, you will never be able to guess their hearts. If the people around you betray you, they can even make you lose your life, no matter how high your cultivation is."
Xiao Bing looked at Ear curiously and asked, "Uncle Ear, why are you reminding me of this?"
"Because I hope that you can safely reach the end that others will never be able to reach, and be able to do things that others will never be able to do. If you want to do this, in addition to unparalleled talent, you must be able to persevere and live."
Xiao Bing said, "Uncle Ear, I will remember what you said. Although I can't do what you said, I will definitely live well."
Ear looked at Xiao Bing and opened his mouth. He seemed to know that there was no need to continue reminding him, because a person's character could not be changed by a few words. He shook his head slightly and said, "Then I can only hope that nothing like that will ever happen to you. Otherwise, as long as I am alive, I will not let go of anyone who betrays you, even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth."
Xiao Bing looked at Ear in surprise and saw that Ear was so serious. Although Ear was so old, the determination in his eyes was so firm.
A smile appeared on Xiao Bing's face and he said, "Just like Uncle Ear, you said that I can't trust anyone, but how can I doubt you?"
Ear said, "Let's not talk about this. What do you want to eat tonight? I will ask Qiang Zi to buy some ingredients and cook for you."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Qiang Zi seems to be taking good care of me, but I don't need him. Today I will cook for Uncle Ear and let him taste my cooking."
There was some warmth in Ear's eyes. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Bing said, "Uncle, you should rest first. I will go out to buy some ingredients."
"Okay." His ears looked a little tired, so he laid down on the wooden bed and began to rest.
Xiao Bing walked out of the wooden house and saw that Qiang Zi had begun to practice boxing in the yard. Xiao Bing stood by and watched with a smile. This Qiang Zi's boxing was powerful, with a sharp aura. A person's character could be seen from a person's martial arts. His boxing was clean and neat, and there were not too many tricks. Although it was simple, the moves were very sharp.
After Qiang Zi finished a set of boxing, Xiao Bing clapped his hands and praised, "Uncle Ear seems to have taught you well."
Qiang Zi said, "I have been practicing this set of boxing for a few months. I practice it at least a hundred times a day."
Xiao Bing was slightly moved and asked, "You insist on it every day?"
"Every day," Qiang Zi said. Qiang Zi said, "Old Cripple said that there is no shortcut in martial arts. If you want to have a deep foundation, you must practice hard. Therefore, the more you practice, the more familiar you will become. Finally, you can reach the state of perfection. Old Cripple wanted me to practice 40 sets of fist techniques a day, but I thought about it. I was still young, and I didn't lose to anyone at the starting line. But if I could practice the same fist technique 80 times while everyone else practiced 40 sets a day, then wouldn't I be able to practice twice as much as the others? Wouldn't that be equivalent to me running out of the starting line earlier? If I practice three times more than others every day, then I can even compete with those geniuses? "
Qiang Zi's words were very reasonable, but it was very difficult to do. This set of boxing would take a while to practice more than a hundred times a day. It was almost equivalent to practicing boxing every day except for eating and sleeping. You should know that in addition to eating and sleeping, he also had to chop firewood, cook and take care of his ears every day. Didn't that mean that almost every day, his sleeping time was very limited, and he practiced martial arts crazily?
It was no wonder that he could become a Transforming Strength master from a layman in just two years. He was a martial arts fanatic. Even Xiao Bing did not dare to imagine the effort he had put in.
Qiang Zi's next words made Xiao Bing even more stunned, "In addition to practicing boxing, I also go out to find some work every day. Now I am very strong, so sometimes I go to help people carry bricks nearby, and sometimes I help several nightclubs in the suburbs of Jingdu to drive away some hooligans."
Xiao Bing said involuntarily, "How much time do you have to sleep every day?"
"Four plus one?"
Xiao Bing asked, "What is four plus one?"
"Four hours of sleep every night, and another hour at noon every day, so that I have a lot of energy every day."
Xiao Bing gasped. After all, he was just an 11-year-old boy, but he had to do so many things every day. How could he have so much energy? This kind of suffering was probably unbearable for ordinary adults.
Xiao Bing could not help but say, "In fact, we pay attention to perseverance, but in the short term, there is really no need to work so hard like you. Your body is still in the stage of growth. If the growth is delayed, it will be the most terrible thing for you. Do you know that?"
"The cripple said the same to me, but I feel that after practicing martial arts, my body grows very fast."
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "That can't work. You have to rest when you need to. I don't treat you as a child. I know you have a strong perseverance, but your body is a child's. By the way … "
Xiao Bing looked at Qiang Zi seriously and asked, "Are you interested in going with me? Leave here. "
