Chapter 030 The boss is a workaholic
Fang Ling nodded: "It should be the latter. Do you still think it's normal to be shirtless and have a red cross on your body?"
"Well, I still think this is a very common thing." Zhang Tianxiao said, "But I can temporarily assume that these things are 'special', and we can continue the discussion on this basis."
“It seems that logically you can still analyze the particularity of these things, but you can no longer change your views on those phenomena from the bottom of your heart.
This ability does not simply influence people's consciousness through observation, it can even distort the views that have already been formed.
This is so special... I'm getting excited! I've never personally received such a special study of supernatural powers before!"
Fang Ling smiled, his eyes sparkling.
This was the first interesting superpower he encountered since coming to Dongyang Island. It was of great research value and challenge.
To study this kind of special ability, one can only analyze it by summarizing the rules, and cannot observe it directly, because all those who observe it directly will become like Zhang Tianxiao now, and lose the ability to recognize its uniqueness.
"This ability is at least S-level! It has extremely high research value!" Fang Ling said, "I will apply to the higher-ups to let that newcomer cooperate with me in research!"
…
Two days passed after Su Ming joined the Investigation Bureau. During these two days, he gradually adapted to the life in the Bureau.
The daily routine at the Investigation Bureau is to get up at seven o'clock to go to work, work until eleven o'clock in the morning, take a two-hour break, then go back to work at one o'clock in the afternoon, and get off work at five o'clock in the evening.
Well... very standard working hours, you only need to work eight hours a day, and if you don’t have any extra work in the evening, you can entertain yourself as you like.
People in the Special Attack Department don't seem to have the habit of working overtime. Everyone goes to and from get off work on time, not leaving even a minute longer.
Moreover, Su Ming discovered that there were very few members in the Special Attack Department. There were only a handful of people in the huge office, and even the workstations were not fully occupied. Moreover, their director seemed to be an overtime maniac. Su Ming had never seen her leave work on time, and no matter how early he came, Sylvie would definitely be in the office.
Just yesterday, Su Ming returned to the dormitory after get off work and played with his mobile phone until nine o'clock. He found that he had forgotten to take his charger, so he returned to the office. He found that in the huge office, only Sylvie was still working.
Su Ming suspected that their minister was a workaholic. After returning to the dormitory and asking Chu Xiaobai, this idea was confirmed. Their boss was a workaholic.
Chu Xiaobai is Su Ming's current roommate. Besides him, the other roommate is the team leader, Jiang Yichuang, whom he has not met yet.
Chu Xiaobai said that Jiang Yichuan was very busy and spent a large part of his time outside on missions, so he often did not return to the dormitory to sleep, so usually only Su Ming and he stayed overnight in the dormitory.
Chu Xiaobai has a good temper and a lively and cheerful personality. Su Ming is currently very satisfied with this roommate, but there is one thing that Su Ming cares about... that is Chu Xiaobai's gender.
Chu Xiaobai is very cute, but he looks androgynous. His face is as cute as a girl, but he also has some boyish characteristics. It is also difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman from his voice.
Plus, the guy was only twelve years old, still a minor, he had no Adam's apple on his neck, and his skin was very smooth, so he looked more like a girl.
To be honest, Su Ming thought the other person was a girl, but they were in a boys' dormitory, so it couldn't be a girl, right?
"Su Ming, how is the course going? Is there anything you don't understand?" Sylvie, who was sitting next to Su Ming, suddenly spoke, interrupting Su Ming's thoughts.
"Ah, fortunately, it seems easy enough so far."
"Are you free tonight?" Sylvie asked again.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment and realized something was wrong.
"Minister, what's the matter with you?"
"We have relatively few people in the special attack department, but we have a lot of documents to process. I have to work overtime today, so I'll teach you how to handle the documents." Sylvie said casually.
Need to work overtime?!
Su Ming frowned. He had only been employed for two days. He was just a newcomer. Would a boss let a newcomer who had not even completed training handle affairs? Wasn't this exploitation?
"But I haven't even finished the online course yet." Su Ming said with cold sweat, trying to struggle again.
"Strange theories require continuous learning. It doesn't mean that you can't go on missions or handle affairs if you haven't finished those courses. As long as you finish the previous week's courses, you can perform basic tasks. Subsequent learning will only improve your detailed operations when performing tasks."
"Minister, I personally think that on-the-job training is very important. Our work requires hard work. If we don't prepare in advance, what if we fail?"
Hearing this, Sylvie stopped typing on the keyboard.
She tilted her head, looked at Su Ming with interest, and snorted, "Are you afraid of death?"
"I think... there won't be anyone who isn't afraid?" Su Ming stammered.
"I didn't expect that the man who killed the Subway Stalker would say something like this. If you're so afraid of death, why did you agree to join the Bureau?"
"Of course it's because I want to become stronger."
"Oh? That's a rare answer."
Sylvie looked surprised, and her interest grew.
"You want to become stronger, do you have someone you want to avenge?"
"No, not really. Why do you ask?" Su Ming asked puzzledly.
“Because many people join the Investigation Bureau for revenge. Being a commissioner in the Investigation Bureau is a life-threatening job. Although the salary is high, the risk is even higher . Even the most capable people may die in an accident. Normal people would never join the Investigation Bureau even if they were to work as thugs for the nobles.
There are several types of people who join the Bureau: the poor, the avengers, and those seeking power.
People who pursue power join the Investigation Bureau, and there is usually aristocracy behind them, but your information is very clean, without , just like a time traveler who has just traveled to this world.
And you don't look like a poor person. Even if you are, you don't need to join the Bureau anymore if you know a noble like Flora.
So you probably didn’t become an ombudsman for power and money… But I don’t think you’re out for revenge either. There’s no trace of hatred in you.”
"Haha, really?"
Su Ming's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.
He just heard the other party mention the time traveler, which made Su Ming's heart tighten.
After being exposed by Xia Xiaoyu once, he has become very sensitive to such things. In this world, if he wants to keep the secret of being a time traveler, he must be extremely careful, otherwise, one careless word could expose his identity.
Su Ming secretly glanced at Sylvie and saw that she was still staring at the screen and typing quickly on the keyboard. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
It seems like the minister just mentioned it casually and didn't take it seriously. That's great.
"This is the first time I've heard of someone joining the Investigation Bureau just to become stronger... Well, your goal is a bit similar to Ye Xing's... Are you also a chuunibyou?" Sylvie muttered.
