~8 min read 1,543 words

【Connection-Holder: Someone who has obtained special treatment or priority allocation of resources through interpersonal relationships and networks】

【Wearing Effect: When performing your duties, your work efficiency will be improved, and you will be more likely to obtain internal organizational help and support for all relevant resources】

【Advancement Route: After solving relatively difficult tasks alone multiple times, or leading teams to complete relatively important tasks multiple times, this badge will automatically advance to the Silver badge "Business Backbone"】

【Hidden Trait (No need to wear): Due to your status as a Connection-Holder, you will be more likely to gain appreciation from superiors after performing meritorious deeds, and your promotion speed will also increase accordingly.

But at the same time, because of your Connection-Holder status, colleagues at the same level and lower positions may have a lower evaluation of your abilities】

"…"

Forget it. Since promotion is faster and it's easier to obtain Cleanup Bureau resource support, let the evaluation be lower. As long as the benefits can be obtained, that's all that matters.

After closing the badge panel with complex feelings, Li Ang carefully tucked away his ID and bid farewell again:

"Thank you, Director. If there's nothing else…"

"There is still something~"

After calling Li Ang again, looking at his somewhat speechless expression, the Red-haired Director curled her lips mischievously, then took a letter from the drawer, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

"Here, that witch has replied to you. As long as you read this letter, the Witch's Broom can be reactivated, and the mission to infiltrate the Bobby Laien family can continue."

Just by reading this letter, it can be reactivated?

Looking at the strange red envelope on the table tightly bound by a wide strap, Li Ang didn't dare to reach out for a moment, but looked at the Red-haired Director with some hesitation.

"Director, if I open this letter, will it turn into the shape of a mouth and then roar crazily at me?"

"Hmm?"

After looking at Li Ang with some surprise, the Red-haired Director asked curiously:

"How did you know? Could it be that you've met other witches, and have even been sent a Howler letter by one?"

"…"

So it really is one?!

"No… I haven't seen a witch in my life yet…"

After picking up the envelope with extreme speechlessness, Li Ang, while biting the bullet to open the letter, casually bluffed:

"I just read a novel about wizards. The author wrote in it that when wizards get angry, they send letters to others that can shout and scream… Holy crap!"

The opened envelope suddenly turned into a big mouth, biting Li Ang's finger, while the strap used to bind the envelope, which had small triangular teeth at the end, began to scratch crazily on the back of his hand like a cat's paw.

However, although it was aggressive, the material was paper and thin silk ribbon after all. This "Howler letter" pounced and bit Li Ang's hand for a long time, but in the end, it couldn't even leave a scratch.

After a while, this letter probably scratched until it was tired. It stopped to rest for a while, then the two corners of the envelope stood up slightly, arching into the shape of cat ears, and opened its "mouth" to roar at Li Ang.

"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow!"

"…"

"She says you are the rudest, most impolite, and most barbaric human she has ever seen in her life."

After listening to the meow language for a while, the Red-haired Director helped translate with a smile:

"She says she won't forget the humiliation you brought her in this life, the next life, and the life after that, especially when you pointed to a basin filled with sand and asked if she could use it as a toilet."

"…"

How was I supposed to know you weren't an ordinary cat…

After listening to the Red-haired Director's translation, Li Ang couldn't help but scratch the back of his head helplessly.

The cats in Harry Potter eat cat food, eat little fish snacks, and use cat toilets. I thought that since you were also a cat raised by a wizard, you should be about the same. Who knew your intelligence was about the same as an ordinary human's…

After looking at Li Ang, who was depressed from being meowed at, the Red-haired Director, as the culprit, didn't think it was a big deal and continued to translate with a smile:

"She asks if you know how much damage doing that would cause to a lady?"

"…"

I know, I know. I guess it's equivalent to a big slap in the face, right?

After opening his mouth speechlessly, Li Ang, while listening to the clearly very angry meowing, asked the Red-haired Director curiously:

"Director, you actually understand cat language?"

The Red-haired Director shook her head:

"No." Li Ang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Is it telepathy or something?"

"No."

After smiling mischievously at Li Ang, the Red-haired Director answered:

"I guessed~"

"…"

Guessed… I think you're just uncomfortable from having no wine to drink and have started teasing people again? I really shouldn't have asked you…

After secretly glaring at her speechlessly, Li Ang silently finished listening to the "meowing letter," then pushed the door and left the office, wanting to check the situation of the Witch's Broom. However, just as he pulled open the office door, he bumped into a thin, small man.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Although the man wasn't tall, his physique was surprisingly sturdy. After bumping Li Ang until he staggered, he hurriedly reached out to support him and said with a face full of apology:

"I was in a hurry to report to the Director and didn't pay attention for a moment…"

"It's fine, it's fine. I was also in a bit of a hurry when I just left."

Although he was bumped until it hurt a bit, seeing the short man's guilty expression, Li Ang smiled, waved his hand to indicate it didn't matter, and then quickly left the Director's office.

And after his footsteps could no longer be heard, the man, who had just been full of guilt, smiled cheekily, looked up at the Red-haired Director behind the desk, and asked curiously:

"Director, why was there a cat meowing in the room just now? It seemed to be saying something about a basin toilet, something about a lady's humiliation. Are you raising a cat?"

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare raise a cat, especially when someone like you is around."

After glancing at the short man, the Red-haired Director knocked on the table with her knuckles and asked with a serious expression:

"How did the matter I asked you to handle go? Did you find out who invited that Holy Spirit of the Chengjin Sect down?"

"Since you asked me to take action, naturally I was able to find out."

The short man smiled confidently upon hearing this:

"I controlled 300,000 ants and checked the aura of everyone who had been to the shopping plaza over the past few days. I found that only a few dozen people had traces of contact with the Chengjin Sect."

"Then I sent out 20,000 rats and 3,000 crows to monitor and listen in on those few dozen people day and night, locked onto the most suspicious target, and then…"

"Alright, alright, I know you've worked very hard."

Looking at the man who was indirectly asking for credit, the Red-haired Director couldn't help but rub her temples and promised directly:

"This time counts as a great merit for you. The food expenses for those animals will all be reimbursed by the Bureau! Calculated directly for one month! And there's a bonus! Tell me the result quickly!"

"Done, then I'll thank you on their behalf~"

After saying thank you with a smile, the short man continued his report:

"The result is that the person who invited the Holy Spirit down is the three families that conspired to frame Charle Department Store earlier… Oh, and also, my rats dug through the secret room of the Rose family mansion and heard some news."

"Those three families couldn't compete in legitimate business, and after inviting the Holy Spirit to cause trouble, they were cleaned up by our Bureau. So they tried to kidnap the only daughter of the Charle Department Store owner, preparing to use force to coerce him into submission!"

"Got it, these damn nobles are really troublesome!"

After rubbing her temples, the Red-haired Director said with a headache:

"And then? They didn't invite anything else down, did they?"

"No more."

The short man shook his head:

"It's hard to say about the future, but at the very least, over these past few days, I haven't seen them have any movements."

"Fine, then continue to maintain surveillance. During the time you monitor them, the Bureau will pay double the food expenses for those 'friends' of yours… Oh, that's right."

Speaking to this point, the Red-haired Director's eyes narrowed slightly, and she reached out toward the short man.

"What did you steal from Li Ang just now? Take it out and let me see!"
