Chapter 76 Anti-Bombing Propaganda
When Yanshi arrived at the General Administration to clock in as usual the next day, the General Administration was already up and running.
The main building lobby was bustling with people, many of them looking hurried as they moved between different buildings within the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, carrying documents.
Yan Shi stood in front of the elevator, lost in thought, waiting for it to arrive.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, several figures quickly stepped out, carrying documents, and brushed past her.
The figure took a few steps, then suddenly turned back and called out to Yan Shi just as she was about to step into the elevator: "Director Yan!"
Yan paused for a few seconds, then tried to continue into the elevator, reluctant to accept the tragic reality that she had to immediately start working as soon as she arrived at the office.
The figure behind him quickly stepped back and pressed the elevator button: "Director Yan, you've come at the perfect time."
Yan Shi: ...
No, no, I don't really want it to be this perfect.
She turned around.
The figure leading the group was a tall woman. A long blue tassel hung from her right ear, its end reaching her shoulder, and her uniform sleeves were rolled up and pinned to her upper arm with safety pins.
As expected, the road ahead is fraught with difficulties.
Yan Shi sighed inwardly: "Come to my office."
Lu Jian: "Okay."
The people behind her were also wearing IT department uniforms, holding documents and standing outside the elevator with their heads down, waiting.
Lu Jian first turned to them and said, "Go to the logistics department and check the arrangements with the relevant personnel, then summarize the detailed plan for me." He then stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
Yan Shi continued to stare blankly.
Lu Jian began trying to strike up a conversation with Yan Shi.
"Director Yan, regarding the security campaign for the Otherworld you mentioned last night, I have already notified the relevant departments and they are preparing for it, modeled after the anti-fraud campaign cases in the Otherworld."
Yan Shi: "Mm."
Lu Jian: "The preliminary preparations at the Information Department have been completed. The Logistics Department will make a budget estimate based on the preparation plan provided by the Information Department, and then forward it to each branch office..."
Yan Shi: "Mm."
Lu Jian: "The preliminary plan is..."
The elevator doors finally opened.
Yan Shi took a deep breath and quickly stepped out of the elevator, saying as he walked, "Compile all the completed content and send it to my email in the form of a report."
When she has time in the future, she will consider checking her emails.
The director's email inbox is overflowing with files every day, and she usually flips through them while having afternoon tea.
Important reports should be saved in a book, while problematic reports should be forwarded directly to the relevant departments.
The main focus is on high efficiency.
Lu Jian: "Okay. There's a joint meeting of relevant departments at 2 PM this afternoon. Who are you?"
"Send the meeting minutes to my email after the meeting." Yan Shi swiped his card to open the office door. "I'll make the arrangements based on the situation. You guys go ahead."
In fact, they simply won't go.
Please, Yan Shi usually avoids these kinds of meetings, which sound long and boring, unless absolutely necessary.
But why do I have to contact her for everything?
After Yan Shi walked into the office and sat down, Lu Jian followed him in and began to pull out documents from a large pile of files he was carrying.
That's the director's secretary's office across the street, right?
Why does she only have an office but no secretary?
Is she, as a bureau chief, really that lacking in prestige?
"Lu Jian," Yan Shi suddenly asked, "how are the special recruitment arrangements for the fall going?"
Lu Jian placed the extracted document on Yan Shi's desk, paused for a moment, and then replied, "The notice for the additional exam has been posted on the homepage of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. We are currently in the resume screening and background check stage."
"The written test is expected to be held in early September, followed by interviews and practical tests for the field team at the end of September. The list of all selected candidates will be sent to you before October."
Yan Shi: ...?
She picked up the documents Lu Jian had brought, and opened them, seemingly in a daze.
Doesn't the Bureau of Foreign Affairs just require you to fill out an appointment form based on a letter of recommendation and start working?
What are these written tests, interviews, and practical exams? Is this the same kind of "different management bureau" that she works for?
"Director Yan?" Lu Jian finished explaining a lot of things and looked at Yan Shi.
Director Yan was flipping through the documents she had just finished working on in the early hours of the morning, her brows slightly furrowed and her expression serious.
'Could there be a problem with the report?' Lu Jian quickly tried to recall.
The document Yanju was looking at was likely the overall plan for the safety publicity campaign in the Otherworld, which she had drafted herself. She had checked all the contents of it more than five times before going downstairs to the logistics department.
'Is there still a vulnerability I didn't anticipate?'
Suddenly, Director Yan stopped turning the page.
Lu Jian's heart tightened, and he secretly glanced at the page where Director Yan had stopped.
There was a diagram of a banner, which she quickly identified as the page from the promotional plan for the dwarfs' living area.
If Lu Jian remembers correctly, according to last night's online discussion meeting, the main focus was on setting up information points along the main road in the Amicki Mountains at intervals.
To facilitate trade, dwarf tribes usually operate in the hills near the main road. As long as a flag is raised on the main road, it is difficult for dwarves to miss it.
"At the same time, hang a banner next to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs' emblem that says 'Answer the questions to receive free rare metal materials.'" Director Yan read aloud the contents of the proposal, his expression unreadable. "Very creative."
Lu Jian quickly explained, "Dwarves are fond of forging, and most master forgers come from the dwarf race, but not all dwarves are good at forging."
"Most dwarves are not actually good at forging. But because they love forging, the scrap rate of materials is high. So many dwarves actually lack metal materials."
He's bad at the game but loves to play.
"The Information Department predicts that by using rare metal materials as a selling point to attract dwarfs to participate in security campaigns, the participation rate could reach over 84%."
After listening to the report, Director Yan put it down and looked up at her.
Lu Jian lowered his head slightly: "Director Yan, this is the theoretically feasible plan that the Information Department currently believes to be effective, but the specific results still need to be implemented."
"Rare metal materials." Director Yan tapped the table with his fingertips. "What's the total budget, and where will it come from?"
Lu Jian: "There is ample liquidity within the bureau recently."
"I've already locked 98% of the compensation payments to Baiyujing and Jinzhou in the system," Director Yan suddenly said, changing the subject.
Lu Jian looked up in surprise: "Director Yan."
"Don't let me know that your Information Department has moved some things from somewhere else again. The Household Registration Department is a prime example." Director Yan closed the document.
"Take the dwarves as an example. I will go to the Amikby Mountains in a while and hope to see the results of your efforts."
Lu Jian remained standing in the same spot.
Director Yan: "Get out and close the door behind you."
Lu Jian nodded stiffly, walked out of Director Yan's office, and took a breath at the door.
"As expected of Director Yan," she murmured to herself.
When Director Yan suddenly brought up the reparations from Baiyujing and Jinzhou, Lu Jian knew that Director Yan knew everything.
Because this "Secret World Security Campaign" was so outrageous, Lu Jian was quite surprised when he heard Yan Ju's arrangement last night.
Although the Underworld has the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs and various forces to maintain order in large towns, in the suburbs it is essentially still a dog-eat-dog world. When did it become necessary to have a safety awareness campaign?!
The coverage rate in towns and cities is actually very low, and most places are still unmanaged gray areas.
To move to a town, one needs a recommender, a resume, a stable job, and a source of funds, and there are also restrictions on the number of license plates one can register.
Creatures living in the suburbs may never be able to move into a town in their entire lives.
As for the suburbs?
Even the cubs in the underworld know that being beaten is essentially a result of their own lack of strength.
Trafficked by black market smugglers, lost to war, experimented on with contraband...
It is fortunate for cubs to have the protection of powerful elders, but they should not blame themselves for being abandoned by their elders; they are responsible for their own lives.
Safety education and awareness campaigns are essential; which child doesn't have the instinct to protect themselves?
Not to mention reporting the discovery of an altar to the Bureau of Heterodox Affairs. Discovering a large altar raises questions about whether one can even escape.
No living being will care about the weak who silently disappear every day.
Therefore, when they went missing, they had nowhere to call for help and could only hope that in the next life, the Mother Goddess would grant them outstanding talents and a splendid background.
Only Yanju treats all living beings equally before her.
She insisted that the order that the Bureau of Disputes was established at the beginning, which may be ignored now, was concerned about the injustices of countless people who had nowhere to seek justice.
Because the current authorities are under Director Yan.
Safety awareness and education are requirements of Bureau Yan.
Lu Jian is a subordinate. Although he was surprised by Yan Ju's unexpected proposal, he will do his best to make it perfect.
She could say that the entire plan was absolutely meticulous.
Perfect analysis and solution design were carried out for the characteristics of each ethnic group.
Aside from the high cost, there are no downsides.
The high cost is not a drawback, as the compensation payments from Baiyujing and Jinzhou have just arrived and are currently in the logistics department.
The project proposal was approved by Director Yan, and Lu Jian applied through the normal approval process, so there were no problems at all.
As it turned out, Director Yan knew everything.
"2% compensation..." Lu Jian calculated in his mind. Combining the recent large-scale operation by the bureau to crack down on smuggling gangs, he roughly guessed Director Yan's intentions and made a decision.
"Let's revise the plan, expand the coverage to more suburban areas, and deploy more personnel to maintain order; meanwhile, the plan for the towns will remain unchanged, with the local branch and the major families funding the publicity."
Lu Jian made the decision cheerfully, his steps lightening as he walked towards the elevator, while simultaneously making a phone call: "Let's revise the plan and have a short meeting in the second conference room of the main building..."
In the office.
Yan Shi flipped back to the last page of the document Lu Jian had given her in disbelief, and checked it again.
You read that right.
Page 763.
She said she couldn't reach the end of the page no matter how many times she turned the pages.
Yan Shi took out his phone, reopened the chat window with Lu Jian, and glanced at the time again.
If I remember correctly, it was at 11:14 pm last night that I made the emergency contact with Lu Jian.
It wasn't the day before yesterday, nor last week.
It is indeed 9:24 AM now.
Is Lu Jian a human printer that has come to life?
Is the flow of time different in the inner world and the outer world?
How did she manage to produce a 763-page report in one night, writing so many personalized publicity plans based on the different characteristics of various ethnic groups and places of residence?
Furthermore, the icons are clear, the format is rigorous, and the solutions are logical and well-founded.
Yan Shi: Tactical lean back.jpg
She had just casually mentioned a few words to Lu Jian about the dwarfs' propaganda plan: rare metals, which looked very expensive.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jian actually planned to use the compensation from the Ju'e Plain for this publicity.
Yan Shi: ...
Fortunately, she had already locked up the compensation in advance using her authority as the bureau chief. If she hadn't checked, billions would have evaporated by the time she looked back.
She knew it.
Such generosity without any apparent reason must be suspicious.
A cunning adult.
