Ma Haoyu personally went to deliver the news.

"Your situation will be announced tomorrow, and it will be publicly stated that you were specially recruited through a special talent recruitment process. Report to my office at 9:00 AM tomorrow morning, and Xiao Ge will arrange workstations for you afterwards."

"I understand." Lin Xi nodded.

After Ma Haoyu finished speaking, he didn't even flinch.

Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Lin Xi asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ma Haoyu sighed, "Do you know why the director is angry? You said two people would come, but in the end only you showed up? You guys have some nerve, daring to stand up even the director!"

"Oh, later Wuming said he had other things to do and couldn't get away, so he asked me to tell you. I'm sorry, I forgot about it as soon as I saw you."

Lin Xi quickly put on an apologetic expression and explained.

Oh right, how could I forget to make up an excuse for this?

Ma Haoyu was seething with anger, his fists clenching and unclenching. "Damn it, how could you forget this? Do you know how long the director scolded me after he went back for the first time?"

Lin Xi looked completely innocent. "If you had asked me back then, I would have told you right there."

"Is it my fault?" Ma Haoyu paused for a moment before turning his gaze to Xiao Er and the others. "Those two... well, before you go to work, make sure they're settled in properly. Don't let them go out freely anymore. It's a no-war period now; hitting people is against the rules and will be punished."

Lin Xi nodded.

But with her power, even if she did something, who could punish her?

But I can't be too conspicuous here; I'll talk to them about it later.

That evening, Lin Xi and her older sister repeatedly reminded her not to fight when they weren't around, since it was a no-fight period.

Lin Xi had been hearing Ma Haoyu and the others say this, but she only took it literally—that they couldn't fight now.

As for when the fight will start, she neither knows nor cares.

Anyway, it doesn't mean much to me.

After arranging everything, Lin Xi prepared to report for duty.

This time, because she was going to meet Chen Jin and the others, Lin Xi specially changed the cover of her bag.

To be honest, Lin Xi was a little worried about dealing with old friends again. They knew her too well and could easily recognize her from her tone of voice, expression, and even habits.

So it's best not to deal with them this time.

When it was time to report for duty, Lin Xi was the last to arrive.

Ma Haoyu was so angry he went crazy. "You bastard! You're the only one who cut in line, and you're not even punctual!"

Three knocks sounded at the door, and Xiao Ge stood at the door smiling, "Master, I'm going to take the newcomer to his workstation to assign him his work."

"Where are those people?" Ma Haoyu's expression softened somewhat.

Xiao Ge replied, "Everything has already been arranged, now only the third one is left."

Ma Haoyu nodded and waved his hand, "Okay, take it, take it!"

In this way, Lin Xi escaped the first wave of harsh criticism from her superiors.

Ge Nanhe shrugged and smiled, "Master can go on and on when he starts cursing, let's hurry up!"

Lin Xi's workstation wasn't far from Ma Haoyu's small office, but Ma Haoyu's office was a single-person office, while Lin Xi's workstation was located in the middle of a sea of ​​people.

Ah, this...

"This seating arrangement makes me feel like I've stumbled into some super-sized company."

“They all want to go to the military region; if they perform well there, they can get extra points!” Xiao Ge explained.

Lin Xi stopped in her tracks. "Huh? Is your internal selection process based on a scoring system? Shouldn't it be based on ability?"

"Strength is the main factor. For someone like you, it doesn't matter whether you get extra points or not."

Lin Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ge smiled again, "However, you still have to do your job conscientiously and do it well."

As she spoke, she continued walking, "To make it easier for newcomers to ask for help when they encounter problems, their seats are basically staggered."

Lin Xi felt that this was exactly what she wanted.

Then, I watched helplessly as she led me to Cheng Sheng's side.

Lin Xi pointed at Cheng Sheng, "Isn't she a newcomer? Don't try to fool me, I watched the audition."

Cheng Sheng, who was being pointed at, still had an earpiece on his head and looked over with a puzzled expression.

But in just a split second, she turned her head back to her work.

"Excuse me, could you please slow down your tone? Your accent is a little strong, and I can't understand you very well."

Lin Xi fell silent again.

What the heck is that?

Are you here to be a switchboard operator?

Xiao Ge said, "Well, this happens occasionally. Besides, you two are surrounded by senior colleagues with considerable experience, so you can just ask them if you don't understand something."

"Besides, there are many advantages to new people being together."

Xiao Ge said this with a look of envy, "For example, someone who is a little timid might have someone nearby to talk to, something that others would want but don't have."

Lin Xi smiled at her, but it was a very forced smile.

"Never mind, it's fine."

Anyway, Cheng Sheng doesn't recognize himself now.

As long as the people sitting next to me aren't Jiang Chuan and Chen Jin, that's fine.

"Alright, let me tell you about the work schedule for these three months."

"Is your work rescheduled every three months?"

"Of course, there will be a change in our staff every three months, but don't worry, everyone's job is the same, it's just a slight adjustment in the schedule."

"Oh!" Lin Xi understood.

"Today is Monday. Our schedule is six days on, one day off, from 9 am to 5 pm. Occasionally, we also have to work the night shift, which is from 7 pm to 2 am. If you work the night shift, you will be notified to rest during the day."

"My job mainly consists of three tasks. One is answering calls, which is usually residents calling in for help. If police need to be dispatched, you need to notify my mentor, Captain Ma, in a timely manner, and he will arrange manpower."

"The second one is patrolling the streets. You should know about that, right? I saw you a few times when my master was patrolling the streets before."

Lin Xi nodded, agreeing.

"You'll start by doing switchboard work today. In a couple of days, you switchboard newbies will switch places with the group switchboard newbies." After saying this, Xiao Ge was about to turn around and leave.

Lin Xi called out to her, "Huh? Didn't you say you weren't finished?"

"What?"

“You just said there were three tasks, but you only mentioned two.”

"Oh! You did the third one too, which is taking on big missions. These missions are usually when the higher-ups have identified a threat or when many people have reported it. These missions are very dangerous."

"Actually, they are usually handed over to the military region. Only when the military region is too busy will they give them to our city guard team."
