Chapter 114 Recording Stone
Yanshi nodded.
Lu Jian walked back to the hospital bed, squatted down, and then half of himself crawled under the bed. After feeling around under the bed for a while, he crawled back out.
He took out a thick stack of documents.
Yan Shi: ?!
Her pupils involuntarily dilated.
Lu Jian handed the documents to Yan Shi and sat down on the hospital bed: "Director Yan, all my storage space has been 'lost'. I have no choice but to hide the documents that the Finance Department hasn't compiled and uploaded last month under my bed."
Yan Shi: ...
Although the scene should have been serious, Yan Shi couldn't help but feel a strange urge to laugh.
Did she suddenly jump from an adventure comic into a workplace drama in an instant?
What is all this?
Yan Shi put the documents into his personal space bracelet and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed.
“Tell me your thoughts,” she said.
Lu Jian lowered his eyes: "Almost all of those who were seriously injured last night were employees of our Information Department's internal affairs team."
Yan Shi: "The internal staff are not as capable as the external staff, and they are indeed more likely to get injured in this kind of chaotic battle."
Moreover, when the incident happened last night, the information department staff were queuing up at the entrance to swipe their cards for inspection.
The timing was perfect.
However, Lu Jian needs to provide more specific clues or evidence.
Lu Jian clearly understood Yan Shi's implication and continued, "I was on the second floor at the time. The IT staff ran into the main building the moment the fighting broke out."
“But Director Yan,” Lu Jian looked up and stared directly into Yan Shi’s eyes, “the Enforcement Department has been stopping them.”
As he spoke, Lu Jian took off the long blue tassel hanging from his right ear and brushed it aside.
In the center of the tassel was a thin crystal.
Lu Jian forcefully tore the crystal off, held it between his fingertips, and infused it with a few strands of spiritual energy.
The crystal shone, casting a curtain of light.
Lu Jian: "I happen to have a recording stone on me."
Yan Shi's lips twitched.
The scene was now visible on the recording stone, and the view was exceptionally clear, coming from a high vantage point above.
You can see that things are in complete chaos down there. Some employees in office uniforms are running towards the location of the video camera, some of whom are stopped by the masked investigators. On their way there, they are being seemingly assisted but actually blocked by the patrol team.
The recording stone on the road was small, so the amount of content it could record was naturally limited. One minute later, the recording stone began to replay.
It's very obvious.
Yan Shi watched the replay three times and said, "It's ready."
“Lu Jian, I know what you mean.” Her tone was warning, “but you have nothing that I can trust.”
The Bureau of Foreign Affairs has always had three core departments—the Execution Department, the Information Department, and the Control Department—that check and balance each other, and all of them are core departments with real power.
For many years, the position of bureau chief was vacant. As the violent department, the Enforcement Division was led by Director Sheng Chunqiu, who acted as the bureau chief, resulting in the Enforcement Division having a de facto monopoly.
But this is only the General Administration.
After the headquarters moved to the surface world, its control over the branch offices weakened, leading to the gradual withdrawal of core members of the major families from headquarters. This allowed Sheng Chunqiu to rise to the position of acting director despite his background in the surface world.
Now that Yan Shi has taken office, he has forcefully intervened in some of the affairs of the Middle World and has begun to gradually regain control of the branch offices. The headquarters has once again become a hot commodity.
Large families naturally engage in more and more underhanded tactics.
Lu Jian suddenly placed his right hand on his chest, bowed his head and said, "Director Yan, I am here on behalf of Jiucheng to convey the City Lord's message."
Her voice was solemn: "Wine City is willing to formally declare our allegiance to you in accordance with the law."
Yan Shi: !
She managed to suppress her shocked expression.
What is it?
Did she miss an entire season's worth of plot last night?
Lu Jian had no other choice.
There are very few positions with real power, and because of her interference, powerful families all want to get a piece of the pie in the General Administration. Yan Shi had already made moves against the Household Registration Department before, and Lu Jian is now the biggest target.
This is already clearly evident from the leak of the proposal.
Lu Jian naturally wanted to express his stance directly to Director Yan as soon as possible.
They are taking sides, and they are also gambling.
Yan Shi: "Mm."
Lu Jian straightened up: "The information and background of all current employees of the Jiucheng Branch Bureau will be compiled and handed over to you this week."
"I'll give you a new email address," Yan Shi said. "How's the selection process for the Director's Secretary's Office going?"
Ultimately, the Director's Secretariat is the only department that truly belongs directly to the Director.
Lu Jian: "The practical assessment just ended. If nothing unexpected happened, the final interview was originally scheduled for next Monday."
That is, tomorrow.
But now there's been an unexpected turn of events.
Given the current situation at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, it is not appropriate for anyone to participate in the interviews.
Yan Shi lowered his eyebrows slightly: "No need to change the time."
"Change the location. Send the word directly that they will be at the Summer Palace for the interview tomorrow morning."
The Summer Palace is closed on Mondays.
The location is just right.
"As for the final interviewer, there's no need to reassign him; I'll do it myself."
Lu Jian looked at Yan Ju.
Director Yan's eyes were very deep, and he suddenly sneered: "By the way, you, Sheng Chunqiu, and the three of you from the Control Department, come along too."
Since Director Yan took office, the Control Department has been playing it safe. Director Yan's tone was somewhat cold at this moment, and he didn't even directly mention the name of Bian Zheng, the head of the Control Department.
Lu Jian: "Okay, Director Yan. I'll pass the notification down shortly."
Yan Ju didn't say anything more, got up and left the ward. The chain on her coat brushed against the door, making a slight metallic clanging sound.
The door was closed.
Lu Jian sighed deeply, straightened the earring, and put it back on his right ear.
When Director Yan left, he also took the recording stone with him.
Without the central recording stone, the earrings now feel light and airy.
Lu Jian lay back down on the hospital bed, stared at the ceiling, and slowly closed his eyes.
Now she can finally get some real rest.
---
The Control Center is said to be one of the three most powerful departments. What's the title of the head of the Control Center?
She has absolutely no recollection of it.
Yan Shi recalled all the colleagues he had come into contact with since taking office, but still couldn't figure it out, and finally regretfully decided to give up.
Never mind, I saw it on Monday.
Anyway, she's the bureau chief, so there's no need for me to greet her first.
That's the decision.
After reaching a conclusion, Yan Shi mentally applauded himself.
As expected of her!
It's amazing that she could come up with such a brilliant idea as to bring the heads of three powerful departments along with her to the director's secretary's office for the final interview.
At that time, Yan Shi can judge whether the candidate has any messy background connections based on the reactions of his colleagues.
There's bound to be something wrong with a candidate who's only admired by one person.
Yan Shi wanted to try to select secretaries with clean backgrounds.
The complex web of relationships within the General Administration was driving her crazy.
Yan Shi slowly walked into the main building and began to wait for the elevator with a blank expression.
Standing beside her was Gui Gemu, who had reverted to his usual carefree and irresponsible demeanor. Upon seeing Yan Shi, he first said softly, "Director Yan, Lin Cai has been sent back to Zhan Zhou. I saw her go in with my own eyes."
Then he leaned back lazily against the person who came in and said, "Sheng Chunqiu, I don't want to go to work."
Sheng Chunqiu said gently, "Get up quickly. The bureau is busy right now."
"I'm going to rest for a bit," Gui Gemu said, drawing out his words. "Besides, I actually fell asleep during such a fun and lively night!"
She made a pained expression: "The fighting is over. Now all I can do at work is organize documents. It's so boring."
The elevator has arrived, Director.
Yan Shi walked straight into the elevator and pressed his floor button.
I got these dark circles under my eyes after staying up all night.
Yan Shi: ...
So, despite looking so haggard, she just walked through the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs area to visit Lu Jian?
Some of Yan Shi's carefully constructed image has quietly crumbled.
She walked into the empty rooftop, opened the door to her office, took off her coat, slumped into her comfortable office chair, and began to contemplate life.
When exactly did she become this diligent and hardworking at work?
Duan Yunchen was more comfortable.
Yan Shi thought of Duan Yunchen, who woke up naturally in the morning, and pouted.
She took out her phone from her pocket, intending to browse the news before bed, and along with her phone, she took out Yanlan's teacher's card.
wrong.
Yan Shi suddenly remembered.
Last night, which seems so distant in my memory, Ji Pucun apparently said that her abilities were beyond the standard and that he wanted to change her classes.
So what is her current schedule for her duties at Jamchea Monastery?
Author's note: I've finished writing the entire list.
