Chapter 424

"Are you saying that the older nurse is very likely also a person who naturally carries an 'anomaly'?"

After listening to Li Ang's report, the red-haired woman raised her eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully:

"No wonder... I remember Ai Ma's report also mentioned that a nurse was able to resist the Dean's control.

Originally, I thought it was because she was kind and upright, able to stick to her own stance and not be coerced by power, so she avoided the influence of the authority-type anomalous object.

But now it seems that she probably carries an 'anomaly' herself, which is why she could avoid being manipulated... Li Ang, you did very well!"

After giving Li Ang an appreciative look, the red-haired Director said with a smile:

"Even though you just finished a hard cleanup mission, you still insisted on actively applying for field work, worked hard to visit and re-examine the victims' situation, and keenly discovered clues to a new anomalous object from a few traces. You really worked hard!"

Ah? That's not right, is it?

Hearing the red-haired woman's summary, Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then reminded her:

"Thank you, Director, but I actually didn't go out for field work this afternoon, but took time off to see my sister. This news wasn't obtained through visits, but..."

"Taking time off deducts half a day's wages; actively going out for field work once allows you to apply for a subsidy of two gold wheels from above."

"..."

"But I actively communicated with the gas company compensation officer during my field work, and successfully analyzed it according to the methods taught by you and Auntie Ai Ma."

"Hmm, as expected of the person I value, you are indeed very suitable for the Bureau of Cleanup."

After looking at the sensible Li Ang with satisfaction, the red-haired Director smiled:

"Go back and fill out a field work result receipt according to what you said later, but you don't need to write about Ai Ma and me.

Scamming funds is scamming funds, merit is merit. What is yours is yours. No matter what other bureaus are like, our Virgin Bureau doesn't do this.

And since you found valuable information during your break, a special field work subsidy is what you deserve."

"Then... thank you, Director... I'll go back and fill out the receipt now!"

"Hmm-hmm, go ahead, go ahead!"

Li Ang really didn't know how to evaluate his own Director, who could talk about scamming funds without any avoidance, but whose style was inexplicably very "upright."

However, although the methods are a bit hard to look at, this kind of leader who can fight for benefits for subordinates and doesn't like to take credit for subordinates should be very popular in the bureau, right? No wonder Auntie Ai Ma is always very respectful when mentioning her... Right!

Seeming to have suddenly remembered something, Li Ang, who was just about to leave, stood still again and said somewhat hesitantly:

"That... Director, can I go out for field work again tomorrow?"

"..."

The red-haired woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, then subconsciously narrowed her pretty fox eyes and said with a smile:

"What? Short of money? Want to scam funds again?"

"No, no, no, this is a real field mission, or you can count it as me taking time off."

After shaking his head hurriedly, Li Ang explained sincerely:

"Yesterday I read Auntie Ai Ma's archived materials on the Red Brick Road Hospital incident, and felt that the appearance of those patients was too coincidental, as if they were specifically 'manufactured' to strengthen the out-of-control Infected.

After all, Red Brick Road Hospital usually only has a little over a hundred hospital beds. If it weren't for the water company and the Road Administration Department having problems at the same time, there wouldn't be so many patients for that Dean to absorb at once.

So I was thinking, can the bureau go to these two places to investigate and see if there is a mastermind making trouble, or if the water company and the Road Administration Department themselves have problems..."

"By the way, use the identity of a Bureau of Cleanup employee to dig up evidence of the water company and the Road Administration Department's dereliction of duty, so as to fight for some compensation for the patients still lying in the hospital... Did I guess right?"

The red-haired woman opened her pretty fox eyes, stared softly at Li Ang, who was startled, and smiled: "Hehe, it seems that the goat was actually right. You are indeed the type with a very strong sense of morality. Once you encounter something you can't stand, you always can't help but want to intervene and do something.

Hmm... don't be nervous. Although your proposal contains a little bit of 'selfishness,' I actually don't hate it. After all, naive and kind little guys are always very lovable~"

After giving Li Ang a strange evaluation with unclear meaning, the red-haired woman stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful curves, then leaned comfortably against the soft chair back, and said with a smile:

"Go if you want to, and this time it will count as your field work, but don't let it happen again."

"Thank you, Director!"

"You're welcome, but..."

Raising her hand to support her cheek, looking at Li Ang with interest, the red-haired woman smiled:

"Are you only prepared to thank me verbally? Don't you want to take some actual action?"

"Uh..."

A bit confused by the other party's sudden "solicitation of bribes to his face," Li Ang looked at the mountain of empty wine bottles behind the red-haired woman's desk and tentatively said:

"Then... after work today, I'll treat you to a few drinks?"

Hmm? Drinks?

Hearing Li Ang's words, the red-haired woman's eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously sat up straight.

Oh my, really... The actual action I meant was that the bureau is short of manpower recently, and I wanted you to take the initiative to work overtime. After investigating the water company and the Road Administration Department, go to the home of the middle-aged nurse named Hannah and see what's going on with her.

But if you insist on treating me to a drink... hmm... it's rare to have a newcomer join, so as a leader, it seems I should get closer to him and build a good relationship?

Quietly reaching her hand to her waist to touch her empty purse, the red-haired Director sat up straight in her seat, cleared her throat hard, crossed her hands, and said gently:

"In principle, I actually shouldn't accept your invitation, but since you just joined, let's treat it as a welcome party for you, and celebrate you becoming a member of the Bureau of Cleanup."

"Ah, okay!"

Li Ang nodded, then suggested:

"Then I'll call Auntie Ai Ma, and the ones who just came back..."

"Cough... there's no need to call them."

Quietly calculating Li Ang's salary, the red-haired woman stopped him and said righteously:

"Ai Ma has to rush home to take care of her children, and as for the two who just came back, I will arrange for them later... I mean, they will have new tasks soon and have to leave before the sun goes down today, so I'll drink by myself tonight!"

"..."

You'll drink by yourself... no, you're not even pretending anymore? Even if you said you were holding a welcome party for yourself, that would be fine, right?

Looking at the red-haired woman who seemed to have suddenly lost her mind, whose speech became incoherent, and whose original rational meticulousness had vanished without a trace, Li Ang opened his mouth speechlessly, remembering the Black Goat's evaluation of his leader.

"Let me tell you, although that stinky woman is calm and cunning, and her strength is terrifyingly strong, once she starts drinking, she is a pure alcoholic, the kind whose brains are bubbling with alcohol."

"Everything is fine as long as alcohol isn't mentioned, and she can wrestle with anyone regardless of who the opponent is, but if she encounters alcohol, she is as unreliable as she can be, and her quality is as low as it can be. You better be careful and don't get entangled by her!"

"..."

It's over... I seem to have dug a big hole for myself!
