Chapter 58: Promotion? Job Transfer? Benefit?
“Mm.” Zhang Hongbo nodded, “I promised Yuan Chenyang that in the next year, I would modify his information for him.”
Yang Yan closed the information, not unfamiliar with modifying information like this.
The subtle exclusion of refugees was well-known, but there were also big shots with discerning eyes who discovered talent from the refugees.
To avoid possible exclusion, modifying information was also a method.
After seven or eight years, who would still remember their past refugee identity? Whatever was on the information was what it was.
“Do you have a plan?” Yang Yan closed the information.
“He’s from the Patrol Team, so in principle, he has to patrol at least once every three days.” Zhang Hongbo said in a low voice: “But he hasn’t gone out recently, I can chat with him.”
“He’s still a First Order Professional, he can’t refuse.”
“Since it’s within his duties, it’s settled.” Yang Yan put away his hesitation:
“Just treat it as a test for him. If he’s unwilling, it means he lacks dedication, and there’s no need to modify his information.”
“That’s all we can do, he should understand.” Zhang Hongbo sighed: “After all, it’s not letting him take risks alone, we have our people backing him up.”
Yang Yan neither confirmed nor denied, leaving with Gu Bing,
Until they got on the elevator, the silent Gu Bing pushed up her glasses and said: “He’s using you.”
“His son also has Brilliant Silver Level talent. After cultivation and reassignment to South Wind City, there’s a high probability he’ll inherit his City Lord position. An extra Su Chen adds a variable.”
“We decide, afterwards, Yuan Chenyang can’t find fault.”
“I know.” Yang Yan didn’t care, “As long as his method works.”
…………
Su Chen was impatiently pulled by Sun Tai to the top floor, knocked on the office door, and entered after getting permission.
“It’s you two?” Zhang Hongbo was quite surprised; his order to find Su Chen hadn’t been passed down yet.
But it was just right.
“Come, sit.” He smiled warmly, making one feel like bathing in spring breeze.
Before he could speak, Sun Tai opened his mouth, his face piling up a chrysanthemum-like smile, “Congratulations, City Lord!”
“Congratulations to me?” Zhang Hongbo, who was preparing his words, paused, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes, “Why?”
“The Inspection Department just produced a Second Order Professional, who is also a pillar of our South Wind City. Isn’t it worth congratulating you?” Sun Tai responded quickly.
“Second Order Professional?” Zhang Hongbo’s eyelid twitched, his gaze slowly shifting to the proud-faced Su Chen.
“That’s right, it’s Su Chen.” Sun Tai confirmed his guess, sighing: “It happens right when you’re acting head of the Inspection Department. Su Chen and you have destiny.”
Su Chen keenly noticed Zhang Hongbo’s expression flicker for a moment, but he quickly adjusted and said with emotion, “I didn’t expect it, Old Yuan really found a treasure this time. You’ve already become a Second Order Professional.”
Su Chen quietly raised his guard in his heart, smiling bitterly: “After luckily being accepted as a student by the teacher, I’ve always cherished this opportunity, working diligently without slacking.”
“For promotion, I haven’t gone out on patrol for a while.”
“Small matter. As the Minister’s student, how can you not have some privileges?” Zhang Hongbo waved his hand grandly, seeming very pleased: “Indeed, you’re a pillar of our South Wind City.”
“A Second Order Professional, an ordinary Patrol Team member—Captain no longer matches your strength. However, there’s no vacancy in the Inspection Department for now.”
Hearing him say that, Sun Fatty’s smile faltered.
But after pondering for a moment, Zhang Hongbo said: “How about this, first take a nominal Deputy Section Chief position in the Patrol Section.”
Sun Fatty’s face was spectacular, glancing at Su Chen repeatedly, wishing he would agree immediately.
Deputy Section Chief? Su Chen felt subtle in his heart, instinctively declining: “No, no, I’ve only been in the Inspection Department for a short time, with no merits. How can I get promoted? What will the other colleagues think?”
“Special cases call for special treatment. South Wind City needs talent right now.” Zhang Hongbo didn’t give him a chance to refuse, “Have Section Chief Sun submit the application, the Deputy Minister approves it, and I’ll stamp it.”
“Right, as Deputy Section Chief, you can go to logistics to pick a Second Order weapon.”
Su Chen wanted to speak but stopped.
“Also, one portion of Glazed Blood per year, three portions of Second Order Mist Fiend Potion per week… and apply for an E-level Body Tempering Method.”
Su Chen swallowed his words back into his stomach.
“Go on…”
In the end, Su Chen didn’t wait for the final “meeting”, and was inwardly stunned.
“Really just a pure reward?”
On the elevator, he was still muttering, but Sun Fatty was very excited, “I didn’t expect the City Lord to be so generous. I judged a gentleman with a petty heart.”
“So fast… Really training day and night in the room without letting go of any opportunity or time? This disposition…
In the room, Zhang Hongbo frowned tightly, his gaze fixed on the word “Brilliant Silver” on the information, showing hesitation for the first time.
………
This promotion efficiency was faster than Su Chen imagined. Sun Fatty happily went to handle the materials for him and returned in less than half an hour.
“Haha…” He grinned widely, taking out an exquisite cyan Hurricane Badge, saying enviously:
“Deputy Section Chief, tsk tsk… The City Lord has a broad mind. In such a short time, little brother is almost on par with me.”
“If the Minister handled this, it might cause gossip, but it’s different with the City Lord. Little brother, pack up and prepare to take office.”
“Take office?” Su Chen was stroking the Hurricane Badge, and upon hearing this, he suddenly had a strong premonition, “Where to?”
Sun Fatty was still envious: “North City Inspection Sub-bureau, concurrently Deputy Director. After all, as a Second Order Professional, you can’t just eat without working.”
“When you return, Qin Cheng’s position probably won’t hold.”
“I see…” Su Chen lowered his head, his eyes slightly cold, finally understanding that he was being used as bait.
Yuan Chenyang had used it once, and Zhang Hongbo probably hadn’t investigated anything, so he resorted to crooked tactics.
Old Zhang, you really won’t let me be leisurely for a moment.
Sun Fatty thought he didn’t want to move, explaining: “Don’t worry… North City is quite prosperous. The Inspection Sub-bureau has everything, even a five-times Gravity Training Room. Except for the Director, you’re the biggest.”
“Let the people below handle the matters, just like here.”
“Really…” Su Chen shook his head. Old Sun knew too little and still thought this was a promotion.
However, he soon realized something else—this didn’t seem like Zhang Hongbo’s whim; it appeared premeditated.
Thinking back to how on the first day he came, he specifically found Sun Tai to hint.
Su Chen was pensive. Fortunately, he had advanced to Second Order Professional; otherwise, Zhang Hongbo would probably just casually arrange for him to patrol.
With things as they were, he sorted his emotions and said: “Let’s go to logistics. The City Lord allowed me quite a few things.”
Get the benefits first.
“Come on, I’ll go with you.” Sun Fatty’s eyes darted around, chuckling: “Logistics Money Section Chief is my old friend. I heard he got something good recently; I must get him to hand it over.”
