The Female Director’s Gift (7000)_3
“No matter what position it is, contributing to the stability of Xida State is our shared responsibility.
And besides…
the salary for a cushy job is the same.
It’ll also give our families some peace of mind.”
As he said this, he began to laugh.
But it seemed that this joke wasn’t very funny.
Instead, it brought a sense of sadness, as though he was leaving and the warmth would fade, causing the eyes of the officers present to redden slightly, looking at him with sorrow.
Seeing this, the old director sighed softly.
He then looked at the two people beside him and said, “Wen Long, Wu Hu, do you two resent me for not recommending you to take my place?”
Upon hearing the old director’s words, Wu Hu, a brawny man, quickly shook his head, his voice buzzing as he said, “Director.
No.
I know I am just a rash man.
If it were not for your trust, I would have been sent off to a military position long ago.”
“So, I would never dare to think of taking your position.”
“Even if you really gave it to me, I would be too scared to mess it up and would not dare to accept it.”
Wen Long, a handsome man with jade-like features, also smiled and shook his head, speaking warmly, “Director, how could we?”
“I know my own situation.
My talent is too low, and on top of that, I lack the heart for training, so my strength hasn’t improved. novelbuddy.cσ๓
There are hardly any here who are weaker than me.”
“My current rank is two levels below the deputy director, and if it weren’t for you persistently talking to the chief, I might not even have my current position.”
Hearing their heartfelt words, the old director sighed slightly again and then said, “It’s good that you understand.”
“The reason I didn’t recommend you, apart from your individual issues, is also because reaching this level means there are limited positions.
Besides needing achievements, one also needs connections.”
“I don’t have much skill, and my stubborn personality refused to form cliques.
It was the former chief who valued me, disregarding my stubborn temperament, and entrusted me with such an important department.
But after he left, I haven’t been able to rise for all these years.”
“Even though the current chief still values me, she is also trapped between two major factions and powerless.
It’s only near my retirement that they specially promoted me a level.
Otherwise, I’d probably be a director for life.”
“When I was young, I had no regrets.
Now, seeing you, I do feel a bit regretful.”
“I can’t give you better arrangements.”
“I’m sorry, everyone.”
At this point, the old director stood up and bowed slightly to everyone.
This movement startled the dozens of department heads who quickly stepped aside and helped the old director sit back down.
After being helped to sit, the old director continued to speak, “Although I don’t have any more opportunities, that doesn’t mean you all don’t.”
“I have studied the new director’s background and files.
He is not one to favor his own people.
After taking office in Emerald City, he didn’t even change the staff in the secretariat.
He is wholeheartedly focused on solving cases.”
“He treats his subordinates particularly well, whether they are his confidants or not, anyone with talent he is willing to support.
He has a bit of the old chief’s manner.”
“The most important thing is, his background and potential are much stronger than mine.”
Saying this, the old director patted the screen above Fang Ze’s recent achievements and said, “Just from catching so many council members before taking office, you can tell.”
“So!
Don’t worry about the distinction between nobles and commoners.
And don’t worry about who to side with.
Just do your own job well!
I believe he will notice you!”
“After all, you are the elite of Xida State!”
“I believe you will prove that those who work diligently will also have a bright future!”
Hearing the old director’s words, everyone present exchanged glances and then all stood up, saluting the old director!
…..
Councilor Wu was arrested in the afternoon, and Fang Ze and Lan Bing returned to the Security Bureau in the evening.
After returning to the Security Bureau, Lan Bing let Little You, Nan Yi, and the others rest first, while she had a small meeting with Fang Ze to discuss the progress and changes in the Dahei Jialuo case.
According to Lan Bing, the Dahei Jialuo case was now divided into two parts.
The section below the council members, including solving the case, etc., was entirely handled by the Security Bureau, which Fang Ze was in charge of.
As for the five internal traitor council members, they were handled by the Special Service Department.
Fang Ze didn’t have much opinion on this division of duties.
After all…
he had already come into contact with the internal traitor council members, so if there were issues, he could use the [Late-Night Investigation Room] for interrogation at any time.
What he was curious about was, “Chief, can the Special Service Department extract the relevant information?”
“The will of those demigod believers is very strong.”
“And besides, Dahei Jialuo is still lurking in Xida State.
Are you sure there won’t be any problems?”
Lan Bing gave Fang Ze a deep look and said curtly, “You’re a jinx.”
Fang Ze:….
Fang Ze felt helpless: I was just being cautious!
How did I become a jinx?
Don’t think of me as a bringer of bad luck and…
no, no, no.
I’m not a jinx!
Seeing Fang Ze’s internal struggle, Lan Bing found it oddly amusing.
She watched Fang Ze for a while, a barely noticeable smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and then she took the initiative to invite him, “Come to my place for dinner tonight.”
Hearing Lan Bing’s words, Fang Ze snapped out of his inner debate.
Hm?
Dinner tonight?
For some reason, Fang Ze felt the invitation was a bit odd: it seemed like a lover’s code.
But could he refuse an invitation from his direct superior?
Of course, he could!
His job was to solve cases, not to entertain.
So he decisively fled!
Then…
He was caught and brought back.
So…
two hours later, Fang Ze found himself sitting at Lan Bing’s dinner table.
Looking at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and then at Lan Bing, who was wearing a cartoon apron and working in the open kitchen, Fang Ze felt a kind of homey warmth for the first time…
T.T
After a while, Lan Bing finished cooking four dishes, quietly washed her hands, meticulously wiped them dry with a towel, took off her apron, and brought two bowls of rice to Fang Ze.
As she handed the rice to Fang Ze, Lan Bing said, “There’s more if you need it.”
