Chapter 991: 0588 The Correct Way to Use Li Ang

Good grief... It seems the rumors about the mass resignation of cleaners from the Virgin Branch, which nearly caused the branch to collapse, and the malicious spreading of her 'infamy' everywhere, really did leave the Director feeling deeply aggrieved.

Looking at the red-haired Director before him, who was squinting and clearly still holding a grudge, Li Ang thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

It wasn't because of the high bounty of 5 Gold Wheels per person, but because from the moment he joined the Virgin Branch until now, the Director had truly been good to him.

She gave money when he needed money, gave people when he needed people, gave anomalous objects when he needed anomalous objects, often treated him to drinks after work, rushed to save him when he was in danger, took the initiative to shoulder the pressure from above, and unconditionally cleaned up his messes when he caused trouble... It could basically be said that she had done everything a leader could possibly do.

With such a good leader, even if she wasn't in the right, he had to protect her a little. Not to mention, this time she was actually in the right; if he didn't help her vent her frustration, he would be a bit unloyal.

"Fine, I'll take this bounty. I guarantee I'll let you have a good time, Director."

After promising to help the red-haired Director vent her frustration, Li Ang said:

"Then I'll wait at home. Just call me when the promotion assessment is about to start, Director."

"Mm-hmm~"

After nodding with a pleasant expression, the red-haired Director took a sip of the strong tea in her flask, then, as if remembering something, she announced:

"By the way, how is your relationship with Fei Liya? Why don't you let her move into Happiness Apartment as well?"

"My relationship with her... it's passable, I suppose."

Thinking of Fei Liya, who had made it abundantly clear in her words that she didn't want to be in a team with him, Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly, then said with a huff:

"Happiness Apartment isn't run by me. If she wants to live there, she can. It's just that while I don't mind her living there, I'm afraid she would very much mind being my neighbor."

*Sigh*~ Little Li Ang is very capable, but he is still a bit young after all~

After glancing at Li Ang's slightly awkward expression, the red-haired Director couldn't help but shake her head, then reminded him with a smile:

"Fei Liya is the last bloodline of the Kuluoke Kingdom. The General Bureau values her highly. Before she marries and has children, they will definitely use the General Bureau's 【Sundial Disk】 and 【Moon Phase Mirror】 to lock onto her location and monitor her status 24 hours a day, without interruption.

If she is left at our branch, even with me, a Zodiac Director, presiding over it, the place where she usually resides will definitely receive heavy protection from the Bureau, constantly guarding against enemies like the King-Slaying Society... You understand what I mean, right?"

???

I understand wha... Oh! I understand!

After exchanging a look with the red-haired Director, Li Ang pondered for a moment, and his expression suddenly brightened slightly.

If Fei Liya moved into Happiness Apartment, then his younger brother and sister could piggyback on the Cleaning Bureau's "security"!

If he counted the Water Bottle incident, he had already disrupted three operations of the King-Slaying Society, basically making them mortal enemies. Who knew if they would think of retaliating against him or coming to grab his "weakness"?

And Fei Liya, this "last of the Kuluoke," would definitely receive the highest level of protection. If Anna and the others, who lived in the same Happiness Apartment, could piggyback on the Cleaning Bureau's round-the-clock protection, then he would truly have no worries.

Hmm... If he thought about it carefully, Fei Liya wouldn't be allowed to leave the Capital. Even if her talent as a cleaner was excellent, the missions she could execute would be limited. Yet the Director was spending so much effort to keep her here. Could it be that...

"I understand. Thank you, Director!"

"No need for thanks. Just help me with a few small favors when you have time~"

Smiling at Li Ang, who wore a look 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 'Rebel Faction'. During the month you were away on business, the Bureau has already dispatched investigators to look into the situation of every one of them. As their referrer for joining the Virgin Branch, you need to sign them."

"Alright!"

"And this."

After handing the pen to Li Ang, the red-haired Director rummaged through the drawer and took out a few more forms to hand over.

"These are the lists of anomalous object holders discovered by Jie Rui, as well as the personnel who applied to join our Virgin Branch this year and have the potential to become cleaners. I need you to help me review them and see if they are suitable to join our branch."

Looking at Li Ang, who took the forms with a serious expression, the red-haired Director said apologetically:

"Li Ang, you just returned from your business trip to Kuluoke. By rights, I should give you a long vacation to let you rest well, and I shouldn't be bothering you with these things.

But after that incident at the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, the Kingdom was polluted by the forcibly descended Nightmare King, and the number of anomalous events that broke out has nearly tripled. The Bureau is truly very short-handed lately. Plus, that stupid sheep's ability to observe souls is indeed suitable for this kind of work, so I have no choice but to trouble you again."

"It's no trouble."

Li Ang shook his head upon hearing this:

"I'm just on vacation; it doesn't mean I won't go out. After sending Mei Lan Ni and the others to school every day, I can find time to look at these people. It actually won't take much time...

By the way, Director, if the Bureau is really short-handed lately and you're too busy to handle it, I can actually come back to help. Anyway, I still have to participate in the assessment soon, so I can just rest a few days later and take my vacation all at once."

Don't! This is truly different!

Hearing Li Ang sincerely suggest that he could temporarily give up his vacation and return early to help, the red-haired Director's chest tightened slightly, as if someone had pinched her heart hard.

If you're on vacation, just take your vacation properly; don't you dare come back to work early!

Given your kid's jinxed constitution and that perverted ability to attract disasters, if I really let you come back to help, those missions that were at most Level 1 accidents would all end up heading toward Level 3 or 4. I'm afraid it wouldn't settle down without getting two Holy Spirits killed.

The correct way to use you is to have you go on field missions with branches ranked higher than ours, to wreak havoc... *cough cough*... to handle those anomalous events occurring in other people's jurisdictions. These small missions that could be perfectly solved by sending anyone should still be left to the newcomers in the Bureau!

"No need, no need. You just rest well on your vacation and find time to assess the people on the list."

After refusing Li Ang's good intentions without hesitation, the red-haired Director hurriedly gulped down some tea to steady her emotions, then explained with a straight face:

"You also know that the Nightmare King was finished off by us not long after he descended, so although the scope of this pollution is wide, the degree is generally very shallow. Therefore, the anomalous events that have broken out recently are all small-scale and low-risk.

What the Bureau lacks now isn't you alone, but a large number of Level 3 cleaners who can run around the Kingdom to investigate and handle low-risk events. As long as you investigate everyone on the list and select a few qualified ones to be 'probationary workers', that will be the greatest help to us."

"Alright, I'll look at them as soon as possible."

Not noticing the red-haired Director's hidden agenda, Li Ang nodded and accepted her request. He glanced outside the office door, then asked with some difficulty:

"By the way, Director, Fei Liya seems a bit resistant to contact with me. What should we do to make her willing to go to Happiness Apartment and be my neighbor?"

"What Happiness Apartment? Isn't that the staff dormitory designated by our Virgin Branch?" ===== CHAPTER 992 =====
