Chapter 1258
Good fellow... it seems that the fact that a large number of Virgo Branch cleaners jumped ship, causing the Virgo Branch to almost collapse, and spreading her 'infamy' everywhere, really made the director feel aggrieved.
Looking at the red-haired director who was still brooding, Li Ang thought for a while and agreed.
It wasn't because of the high reward of 5 gold wheels per person, but because since he joined the Virgo Branch, the director had been really good to him.
Giving money when he wanted money, giving people when he wanted people, giving anomalous objects when he wanted anomalous objects, often treating him to drinks after work, rushing to save him when he was in danger, helping him carry pressure from above, and unconditionally cleaning up his mess when he caused trouble... it could basically be said that she had done everything she could.
With such a good leader, even if she wasn't reasonable, he had to protect her a little; what's more, she was reasonable this time, so if he didn't help her vent her anger, he would be a bit unrighteous.
"Okay, I'll take this bounty; I guarantee to let you have a good time, Director."
After promising to help the red-haired director vent her anger, Li Ang said:
"Then I'll wait at home; when the promotion assessment is about to start, just call me."
"Hmm, hmm~"
After nodding with pleasure, the red-haired director drank the strong tea in the wine bottle, then seemed to remember something and notified:
"By the way, how is your relationship with Felia? Why don't you let her move into the Happy Apartment?"
"My relationship with her... it's passable."
Thinking of Felia, who was full of hints that she didn't want to form a team with him along the way, Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart, then said unhappily:
"I don't own the Happy Apartment; she can live there if she wants to, but although I don't mind her living there, she is probably very reluctant to be my neighbor."
Hey~ Little Li Ang is very capable, but he is still a bit young after all~
After looking at Li Ang's slightly awkward expression, the red-haired director shook her head and reminded with a smile:
"Felia is the last bloodline of the Kroke Kingdom, and the headquarters attaches the highest importance to her; before she gets married and has children, they will definitely use the 【Sundial Plate】 and 【Moon Mirror】 of the headquarters to lock her position and monitor her state 24 hours a day."
"If she is left in our branch, even with me, a Zodiac Director, sitting in town, the place where she lives will definitely receive heavy protection from the bureau, guarding against enemies like the King-Slaying Society at all times... you understand what I mean, right?"
???
I understand wh... oh! I understand!
After looking at the red-haired director, Li Ang thought for a while, and his expression was suddenly happy.
If Felia moved into the Happy Apartment, his younger brother and sister could follow and "sponge" the "security" of the Bureau of Cleaning!
Counting the matter of Aquarius, he had already destroyed three actions of the King-Slaying Society, basically forming a blood feud with them; God knows if they would think of revenge on him or come to catch his "weakness"?
And Felia, this "last Kroke," definitely received the highest level of protection; if Anna and the others lived in the Happy Apartment, if they could sponge the 24-hour protection of the Bureau of Cleaning, then he would really have no worries.
Hmm... thinking about it carefully, Felia won't be allowed to leave the capital, even if her talent as a cleaner is good, the missions she can execute are limited, but the director spent so much effort to keep her; could it be that...
"I understand, thank you, Director!"
"No need to thank me; when you have time, just help me with a few small favors~"
After smiling at Li Ang, who was full of gratitude, the red-haired director opened her drawer, took out a stack of forms, and handed them over. "These are the application forms for those anomalous object holders in the 'Rebels'; in the month or so you were on a business trip, the bureau has already sent investigators to investigate the situation of each of them. As the recommender for them to join the Virgo Branch, you have to sign them."
"Okay!"
"And this."
After handing the pen to Li Ang, the red-haired director searched in the drawer and took out a few more forms.
"These are the lists of anomalous object holders investigated by Jerry, as well as those who applied to join our Virgo Branch this year and have the potential to become cleaners; I need you to help me review them and see if they are suitable for joining our branch."
Looking at Li Ang, who took the forms solemnly, the red-haired director said apologetically:
"Li Ang, you just came back from a business trip to Kroke; logically speaking, I should give you a long vacation and let you rest well, and I shouldn't bother you with these things."
"But after the Fallen Soul Black Abyss incident, the kingdom was forcibly polluted by the Nightmare King, and the number of abnormal events that broke out has almost tripled; the bureau is really short of manpower recently, and that stupid sheep's ability to observe souls is indeed suitable for doing this kind of thing, so I have to bother you again."
"It's not a bother."
Li Ang shook his head:
"I'm just on vacation, and it doesn't mean I won't go out; after sending Melanie and the others to school every day, I can find time to look at these people, which actually won't take much time..."
"By the way, Director, if the bureau is really short of manpower and too busy, I can actually come back to help; anyway, I still have to participate in the assessment soon, so I'll just rest a few days later and take a vacation together then."
Don't! This is really different!
Hearing Li Ang sincerely propose that he could temporarily give up his vacation and come back to help in advance, the red-haired director's chest felt tight, as if someone had pinched her heart hard.
You should just rest well when you are on vacation, and don't come back to work in advance!
According to your kid's unlucky constitution and that perverted ability to attract disasters, if you really come back to help, those missions that would have been Level 1 Accident missions at most would all have to run toward Level 3 or 4, and it wouldn't be over without killing two Holy Spirits.
Your real usage is to go on field missions with branches ranked higher than ours, harming... cough... dealing with those abnormal events occurring in other people's jurisdictions; these small missions that could have been perfectly solved by sending anyone should be left to the newcomers in the bureau!
"No need, no need, you rest assured on your vacation, and just take time to assess the people on the list."
After refusing Li Ang's kindness without hesitation, the red-haired director drank the tea, stabilized her emotions, and explained without changing her expression:
"You also know that the Nightmare King was killed not long after he descended, so although the scope of this pollution is wide, the degree is generally very shallow, so the abnormal events that have broken out recently are all small-scale and very low-risk."
"The bureau is not short of you alone, but a large number of third-tier cleaners who can run around the kingdom to investigate and deal with low-risk events; as long as you investigate everyone on the list and select a few qualified ones to be 'probationary workers,' that is the greatest help to us."
"Okay, I will look at them as soon as possible."
Not noticing the red-haired director's little thoughts, Li Ang nodded and agreed to her request, then looked outside the office door and asked with some difficulty:
"By the way, Director, Felia seems to be a bit resistant to contacting me; what should we do to make her willing to go to the Happy Apartment and be my neighbor?"
"What Happy Apartment? Isn't that the staff dormitory designated by our Virgo Branch?"
