18th-tier idol Ning Su debut...
Chapter 29 Chapter 29
In the Monster Bureau of City A, the person in charge of personnel work is a young human employee who was admitted to the Monster Bureau with high scores two years ago and is considered Xiao Du's predecessor.
"No, what is this?"
"Why is this happening?"
The special admission to Ningsu in advance was instructed by the senior leaders of the General Administration, and then it was discussed and approved at the executive meeting of the Bureau, which meant that the procedures for special admission were completed in advance.
Faced with such a great demon who was favored by his superiors and had made many contributions, the employee in charge of personnel work did not delay at all. After learning that the other party's score was above the passing line and was very high, he quickly sent him an employment notice.
But who knew, the response would be like this.
The personnel officer was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Although she got a little youthful shock from the young demon, she still had to do her job well, so she simply used the office phone to call Ning Su.
In the early years, in order to prevent fraud, the landlines of various agencies had their numbers authenticated by telecommunications providers. This time, the call was finally connected.
Ning Su had just cursed the man as a liar and received a phone call from the Special Management Bureau the next second, so he had to work very hard to keep his tone steady.
But after hanging up the phone, he still couldn't help but groaned, covering his face.
His toes are about to dig out a two-bedroom apartment!
Perhaps she sensed his embarrassment and remained silent during the call. After she hung up, the HR lady couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Being used to seeing the old-timers in the bureau taking advantage of their seniority, this young big guy is just like the newly grown grass, fresh and a little cute.
She is already looking forward to the new colleague joining the company.
Due to the interference of the demon bureau, Ning Su's interview review journey came to an end. When the little demons around him knew about it, they all seemed very calm.
"Reasonable, clear, and natural."
Even though they were all candidates, they all understood Ning Su's level, let alone the leader of the Monster Bureau. Even if it was them, if a great monster like Ning Su was willing to join the unit, they would be more than happy to have him.
This is precious real-time combat power!
"But, if that's the case, will the subsidy still be paid this time?"
After a series of subsequent scientific research, Ning Su and other monsters also learned about the case that happened in the Monster City that night, and realized that they had accidentally prevented a major event.
According to the experience of the previous case, as a demon who has made meritorious contributions, he should receive some subsidies.
"Isn't that wrong?" When it comes to rewards, the little demons are always willing to speculate the worst about the situation.
However, as if to give face to Ning Su, the new employee who was about to join the Demon Bureau, Director Tan sent Xiao Du to bring Yuehua that night.
This time, it was still five bottles.
"Don't think it's too little. It's not easy to apply for so much moonlight." Xiao Du had obviously just finished working overtime. The hair on his forehead was in clumps, making his already smooth forehead look even more translucent.
The reason for saying this was obviously because he encountered obstacles when applying for rewards for Ning Su.
"No, he has been recruited and exempted from the interview. Does he still need to be given the Yuehua?" When discussing this issue, the bureau's establishment demon retorted.
Later, after Director Tan’s much persuasion, the other party agreed to give Ning Su the reward.
Ning Su has not yet joined the company, so Xiao Du couldn't directly tell the twists and turns involved, so he could only be vague and say "it's not easy".
"You'll know when you come to work."
Xiao Du meant something.
When Ning Su saw Xiao Du getting off work so late, his heart skipped a beat. Then when he heard the hidden meaning in the other party's words, Ning Su skipped a beat a second time.
After these two incidents, his expectations for the monster situation continued to drop.
As an institutionalized unit, the Yao Bureau can’t be too bad, right?
Since it was a job search after a long time of unemployment, Ning Su was unusually nervous that night and lay in bed unable to sleep for half the night.
He was a little worried that insomnia would affect his condition. However, when he opened his eyes the next morning, he found that he was still full of energy.
Ning Su sat up expressionlessly.
How could he forget that he no longer needed sleep.
How can he not be considered a chosen worker since he can work 24 hours a day?
After a quick wash, Ning Su picked out a slightly more formal outfit, took his ID and went out early.
"Mr. Ning, it's so early?"
Having lived in Lijing Home Community for a few months, the security guards already had an impression of Ning Su's face. Seeing him go out early, contrary to his usual behavior, the security guards couldn't help but greet him out of curiosity.
"Well, I have to go to work."
After saying goodbye to the curious security guard, I bought a bun and soy milk on the way to work. I calculated the time to finish my breakfast before getting on the subway and chewed a piece of gum.
Ning Su looks like a worker. He hasn’t officially started work yet, but he already has the “workplace vibe”.
Fortunately, this time was still some distance away from the real morning rush hour, and the subway was not yet as crowded as a can of sardines. Ning Su even found a seat at a certain station.
However, after he sat down, he discovered that some passengers were secretly taking pictures of him.
After looking back at him calmly, the young lady who secretly took the photo of him felt a little embarrassed and pretended nothing had happened and put her phone away.
Perhaps because she thought Ning Su had a nice personality, the young girl even plucked up the courage to ask for his WeChat before getting off the subway. Ning Su had no choice but to reject her offer on the grounds that his phone was out of battery.
The commute took a total of one hour, but for Ning Su, this hour was the most tiring hour in recent times.
After getting off the subway and walking out of the subway station, Ning Su had an idea in his mind -
He could obviously have come here, why did he have to suffer this?
But after thinking about it, he convinced himself. After more than 20 years of life, it is normal that his thoughts cannot be changed in a short time.
Happily putting this little matter behind him, Ning Su began to look for his new workplace according to the location notified by the Monster Bureau staff last night.
Unlike the suburbs where he lived, Ning Su's new unit was located in the old city area of City A. Since the government departments selected the site together at that time, Ning Su soon saw several government agencies of City A after getting off the subway.
Looking from left to right on this street, there are the Intermediate People's Court, the Police Station, the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and the Medical Insurance Bureau.
Wait.
After walking this road, Ning Su couldn't help but look down at his text messages - the Special Management Bureau was clearly also on this street.
After confirming it again, Ning Su searched more carefully from beginning to end this time, and finally found a small path in the middle of the street.
Entering from the small path, there are shops on both sides. Going further ahead, there is a district library. Going further ahead, there is a courtyard with a sign that says "Special Management Bureau" hanging at the door.
I don’t know if it’s because of wind and rain or because it’s been too long, but the white sign has become rusty, and the vines clinging to the iron gate also look a little withered.
Ning Su fell silent again.
Teacher, this style is different from the paintings in other units he has seen!
Fortunately, this time the demon didn't keep him waiting for long.
"Are you here to report? Come in."
At the door, the guard was informed yesterday that a new colleague would report today, but he was still a little surprised to see Ning Su coming so early.
"Didn't I tell you the time? Your office doesn't start until nine o'clock."
Ning Su glanced at the time. It was only a quarter past eight.
Although it was still early for work and the staff who were supposed to help with the entry procedures had not arrived yet, the security guard did not make things difficult for him. He let Ning Su in and asked him to find a place to rest.
After entering the door, Ning Su became even more silent.
If the entrance of the Yao Bureau doesn't look very decent from the outside, then once you enter the gate, the poverty of this unit becomes even more obvious.
The four-story office building is not very impressive and looks very old.
"This is a house built in the 1990s. It's quite old." In the 1990s, the finance department allocated funds to the unit to build a small building in City A. Since then, there has been no infrastructure construction in the years.
"The unit is poor." The guard said frankly.
When saying the word "poor", the other party is as calm as saying that the sun rises from the east, as if it is some eternal truth.
"But don't worry, your salary will not be delayed." The security guard comforted Ning Su, worried that the scene and his words would scare him away.
"But I'm afraid performance target assessment awards and the like will have to wait."
Ning Su: “…”
Well, he knows that this unit is poor, and you don't need to save face anymore.
The company starts work at nine in the morning, and at half past eight, Xiao Du and the HR lady have already arrived.
The office had been gossiping for days about a new member who used to be an idol joining the company, but the HR lady was still shocked when she saw Ning Su in person.
At this moment, she felt like she was being bullied because of her looks.
"With this appearance, it's unscientific that he's not popular in the circle."
Why are ugly men popular in the entertainment industry right now?
After muttering this, the HR lady came back to her senses and saw Xiao Du and Ning Su were looking at her. She couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
How come I accidentally said what was in my heart?
Fortunately, after being a social animal for several years, she still had some sophistication. The HR lady smiled and stretched out her hand: "My name is Huang Jia, just call me by my name."
Ning Su stretched out his hand, gently squeezed the other's fingertips and let go: "I am Ning Su."
Perhaps it was because they had a good impression of each other when they first met, or perhaps it was because they were all from the same country, Huang Jia finished his breakfast in a few bites and took Ning Su to start the entry procedures.
Since Huang Jia had already prepared all the other employment documents, Ning Su only needed to sign the reporting procedures to complete the task.
"Because your situation is special and you were granted special treatment, the social security and salary procedures are slow."
"By the way, what's your social security situation? Are you still with your original company?"
Ning Su nodded. During the time he was away from work, his social security was suspended.
"Okay, I'll contact them to arrange the transfer for you, and the company will pay your social security then."
Huang Jia didn't say anything long-winded, nor did he deliberately make things difficult for Ning Su, meaning that he wanted Ning Su to run the program himself.
This is the benefit of having a good relationship between the two parties. Huang Jia is willing to help with the processes within his responsibilities.
Hearing that his salary, social security and provident fund had all been paid for, Ning Su felt relieved for some reason.
He wasn't greedy for the salary from the Monster Bureau, but he also didn't want to be owed wages after joining the company and have to rely on part-time jobs after work to support his family, right?
Perhaps Ning Su's relieved expression was too obvious, or perhaps Huang Jia himself had also gone through this onboarding process, so he smiled and said:
"How's it going? Are you relieved now?"
This time, Ning Su didn't try to hide his thoughts and nodded.
Huang Jia was even happier.
The entry formalities have been completed. Although the enrollment process has not yet been completed, Ning Su is already considered a new employee of the Demon Bureau.
"By the way, you still have a period of internship."
It is the same for every employee who comes into the Monster Bureau, except that it is just an internship period, so as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they can generally pass it.
"Of course, this is the experience of our human employees. You are the first demon we have recruited in recent years."
"Wait a moment, I'll take you to see the leader later."
The director of the A City Monster Bureau is naturally also a big monster. It is said that he has been in this position for many years and is often not seen.
It was the same today. After a while, Huang Jia received a message: "The director is not coming today, so this process can be skipped."
But the deputy director still wants to meet.
This time, the process was quite smooth. Ning Su met the human deputy director, whose surname was Lu. When they met, the other party smiled and shook Ning Su's hand, looking quite kind.
This surprised Ning Su a little.
He was not a rookie who had never been to society and knew the style of these so-called leaders. In comparison, Director Lu seemed a little too enthusiastic.
"Oh, because Director Tan was promoted by Director Lu."
Huang Jia only gave a hint, and Ning Su quickly understood it - he had heard popular science from Mi Gao before, that Director Tan was a human, and this Director Lu was also a human.
In the demon world, it is inevitable to form cliques and factions.
However, these so-called workplace struggles have not yet affected Ning Su, the new employee. Huang Jia took him on a quick tour of the unit and introduced him to many people and monsters.
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood on the surface. Although a little cold, they would not start fighting as soon as they met.
"You don't understand this, do you?"
Xiao Du finished his work and Huang Jia had something else to do, so Xiao Du, who was more familiar with Huang Jia, came to act as Ning Su's guide.
"They all think you have a backer, so they don't dare to mess with you."
"Backstage?"
Xiao Du said, "Yes, they think you have a relationship with the director of the General Administration, so they made an exception and recruited you in advance."
In the eyes of these organized monsters, although Ning Su also completed two cases, if there was no other connection, why would the director of the General Administration take the initiative to spend so much effort on an ordinary monster?
There must be some unspeakable reason!
"..." Ning Su was a clean person and didn't understand how he became a relative of someone with connections. However, words were not enough to prove such a question, so Ning Su had to remain silent.
"Don't worry, we are all colleagues." Xiao Du used himself as an example.
Although he was bullied by the evildoers in the bureau, he got used to it after a while because these evildoers couldn't get rid of him.
Ning Su: “…”
Can this kind of thing be considered chicken soup?
But the atmosphere of the Monster Bureau has not been formed overnight. Ning Su is a newcomer and does not want to play the role of a rookie, so he has to nod and accept Xiao Du's comfort.
After completing the whole process, Xiao Du took Ning Su to the office on the second floor.
"This is the business office. When we are on a mission, we will be running around outside. When we have nothing to do, we will rest in the office."
"By the way, there is a training ground in the yard. If you feel bored, you can go in and practice."
After saying all this, Xiao Du received another call and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he told Ning Su: "Stay here for now, and wait for Director Tan to come back and assign you a job!"
Director Tan single-handedly facilitated Ning Su's special admission, and of course he wanted to keep him under his command.
Ning Su nodded and watched Xiao Du leave.
However, when he turned around and entered the office, he found that Ning Su was not the only one in the room, but there were four or five monsters inside.
Different from the common little demons in Ning Su, these organized demons live a life of luxury and do not seem to be as cautious as the little demons who have to make a living everywhere.
As if it had heard Xiao Du's advice, a demon couldn't help but sneer when Ning Su entered the door.
"Is there something?" Ning Su felt the other party's hostility and looked back.
“I dare not, I dare not.” The demon said he dare not, but his tone was still sarcastic. “You are a demon who was admitted with special permission. We ordinary demons dare not say anything nonsense.”
Although Yi Ningsu may have a backer, he still needs to be given a warning.
However, when it came to these words, ordinary monsters would have already explained with fear and trepidation, but when it came to Ning Su, things were a little different.
He was neither nervous nor frightened, but replied calmly: "It's good that you know."
"?" This editor had never expected Ning Su to play against the rules. He was stunned for a moment and even forgot the lines that followed.
Ning Su had no intention of engaging in an argument with his boring colleague, nor did he want to establish any family ties. He simply ignored the angry look of the editor monster and found a seat to sit down.
The monsters in the business department do not work in the office, and there are no fixed workstations in the business office. There is a copy of the latest magazine from the Monster Bureau placed on the seat where Ning Su sits.
Ning Su simply ignored the other monsters in the room and started reading a book.
No, how could that happen?
Although the organizational monsters gave Ning Su face in front of the human employees, they definitely did not want to let this new monster have an easy time.
Besides, Ning Su is a demon, so how can he mix with that human named Tan?
Isn't this a betrayal of them, the demons?
It is precisely because of their dissatisfaction with Ning Su that these monsters got involved and planned to teach Ning Su a lesson.
But who knew that the other party would not buy it at all.
This was somewhat unexpected for the programmers who had previously treated human employees in the same way.
What should I do about this?
The monsters had just made their move when they failed, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
Ning Su ignored them.
For him, who participated in a talent show and made his debut through it, these little tricks of the editors were just like a piece of cake.
For the next few hours, Ning Su ignored these "colleagues".
He flipped through the internal magazines of the Monster Bureau and looked for outdated declassified materials. From these materials, he finally understood why the Monster Bureau looked so poor.
It turns out that in addition to the funds for its own personnel, the Yao Bureau also has a special business fund.
It’s just that it’s too expensive for the Yao Bureau to do business.
It costs money to deal with the aftermath of a business fight, and it also costs money to resettle the little monsters affected.
Because the operating expenses of the Yao Bureau were overspent every year, over time, the financial department was unwilling to allocate more funds.
The Yao Bureau didn't even have the funds to build its own office building.
No wonder Tang Erbao was able to negotiate cooperation with the Monster Bureau so smoothly at that time. I'm afraid that to some extent, the Monster Bureau valued not only Tang Erbao, the great monster, but also the wealthy man Tang Songzhi behind him.
You really need money wherever you go!
Ning Su was in a good mood after accidentally learning about another aspect of the demon bureau from written materials.
At lunch, although Xiao Du had something to do and couldn't eat with him, Ning Su, who needed to eat alone, walked quite leisurely.
"Damn it, he's so happy."
Several programmers came out of the office and saw this scene with mixed feelings.
In the group of monsters in the Monster Bureau, some monsters were already questioning: "Didn't you say we should teach him a lesson?"
"What's going on?"
Why does this new demon still look so happy?
Being questioned by colleagues in the group, several editors who were responsible for the attack also felt a little aggrieved: "We taught him a lesson."
But this monster seems to be a weird one.
It doesn't buy it at all.
"Think of another way."
If they intended to teach this new monster a lesson just to the point, then seeing how arrogant this new monster was, the established monsters really wanted to teach him a lesson.
"...I have a good idea." said a programmer in the group.
At this moment, Ning Su didn't know that his expression had inadvertently annoyed his colleagues with bad intentions, and their maliciousness escalated. At this moment, he was looking at the food in the cafeteria with shining eyes.
In front of you is a buffet with a wide variety of items, and the whole meal only costs two dollars and fifty cents.
This was the first time that Ning Su felt that he was an employee within the system.
With the idea that he would earn what he ate, Ning Su ordered a dish of what he wanted. Perhaps because he knew he was a new employee, the chef in the cafeteria even made a small snack for him.
"As long as you like it, come and eat often." When Ning Su thanked him, the chef said with a smile.
The love between colleagues that disappeared because of the editing monsters slowly rose again in the chef's delicious desserts.
After finishing the meal and putting the dishes back in the recycling area, Ning Su felt better.
He felt that although some of the staff in this unit were idiots, the rest of the employees were normal people and were not afraid to show goodwill.
As long as not all of his colleagues have mental problems, he can still attend this class.
What's more, Ning Su has never forgotten his original intention - to take the exam for the Monster Bureau, not only to find a job, but also to do something meaningful.
After lunch, Ning Su didn't plan to go back to the office, so he simply found a tree and climbed up to sleep.
However, before he had fallen asleep for long, he heard his cell phone vibrating.
"Xiao Ning, take a look at the message I sent you on your phone." On the other end of the line came the ginseng spirit's somewhat anxious voice.
...No, he was working properly, what kind of trouble happened?
Ning Su curiously opened the link sent by the ginseng spirit. After entering, he found that it was a gossip post published on the most popular website in the demon world.
"Didn't the Monster Bureau say that the exams were fair? Why are some monsters able to get in without an interview?"
"Are people with connections so arrogant?"
After opening the post, Ning Su discovered that except for the special admission content, everything else was fabricated.
But as the written test had just ended and many little demons were eliminated, this post seemed enough to stir up the demons' emotions.
And many little demons did take the bait.
When Ning Su read this post, there were already nearly a thousand levels of controversy in the replies. Someone even revealed that Ning Su was the one who sold civil service exam materials not long ago, which made people even more excited.
Later on, it even affected Teacher Su's civil service exam.
Ning Su's face darkened.
Ginseng Spirit, Mi Gao and Xiao Zhou all comforted him on WeChat: "Don't worry, we have already reported this post."
I guess after a while, a monster will come and delete it.
The ginseng spirit was more mature and asked implicitly whether the matter needed to be reported to the Demon Bureau.
After all, compared to their own clarification, it would be more convincing if the Monster Bureau was willing to issue an announcement.
In addition, the ginseng spirit also asked: "Are you doing well at work?"
It was only afternoon now, and Ning Su could not ask for leave at will. With this wave of public opinion, Ning Su was afraid that this afternoon would be difficult.
"It's okay, I'm fine. I'll go talk to my employer."
"Don't worry."
Ning Su jumped down from the tree and walked towards the business office. Along the way, the employees of the Monster Bureau looked at him strangely.
Obviously, the demon world is such a small place, and there is only one most lively website. This period of time is enough for all demons to get some information.
Ning Su ignored him and walked into the business office without looking around.
The monsters who were furious with him not long ago were now looking at him with a smile, saying something with a hidden meaning: "Little monster, are you still happy now?"
These organized monsters are so arrogant that they are not afraid to admit the bad things they have done, and they are confident that Yu Ning Su can't do anything to them.
After all, they posted anonymously, and no one had any evidence to prove that they did it.
Ning Su smiled slightly, said nothing, and just walked into a weaving monster.
"What are you doing? Why are you pretending?" The editing monster forced himself not to take a step back.
Before he could finish his words, Ning Su had already grabbed the other person's collar and lifted him up.
The provocative editing monster's face changed instantly - if I remembered correctly, it was a rhinoceros spirit?
Ning Su smiled and used his other hand to smooth the wrinkles on the rhino's collar: "Senior, I'm new here and there are many things I don't understand. Why don't we go to the training ground and practice?"
The rhino's pupils trembled, and just as he was about to refuse, Ning Su pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Senior, don't you dare?"
After hearing this, how could the Rhino Demon refuse?
At 3 pm, Director Tan, who was working outside, got off work happily. His colleagues teased him, "Why are you so happy just to recruit a big monster?"
Director Tan laughed and said, "Of course."
That’s Ning Su!
After leaving the message blocking area, Director Tan’s cell phone regained signal, and within a short while, Xiao Du’s message arrived.
Director Tan took a look and his face changed instantly. After reading Xiao Du's detailed report, he didn't even bother to say hello to his colleagues and hurried back to the bureau.
On the way back, he hurriedly called Xiao Du.
"Is everything okay in the bureau? Has Xiao Ning been bullied?" Director Tan is not a fool. From the current public opinion, he can tell at a glance who is causing trouble.
However, although this was clearly an urgent matter, Xiao Du's tone on the phone was somewhat complicated, and if you listened carefully, he seemed a little dazed.
"Director, the bureau is fine, Xiao Ning is fine too."
"But there's something wrong with the bureau's establishment monster."
Director Tan held the phone and uttered an "ah" sound.
"... Ning Su beat up all the monsters in our bureau."
