Chapter 79 Relocation of the General Administration
This post...
No wonder it received over 100,000 replies.
Yan Shi was amazed.
The original poster didn't reappear after that, but it ignited a heated debate between the two sides, fully demonstrating the profoundness of the written word to Yan Shi.
And how to expand a comic from less than ten chapters into one hundred chapters.
Yan Shi: ...
Her life wasn't as dramatic and full of bitterness and resentment as some people imagine.
What kind of nonsense are these people imagining?
And Yanlan and Director Yan are both her, right...?
How did they manage to concoct two strange lines of logic that seem quite plausible?
As the person involved, she had no idea that her fate was so tragic.
They even faced a tragic fate of having to choose between two options.
That was truly amazing.
When asked about Libertas eavesdropping on Guan Yunji's conversation with her, Yan Shi turned off her phone and took out her grandmother's work notebook from her bag.
The three characters "Shan Fengyang" were still printed on the title page in a bold and elegant style.
Yan Shi opened it; because the work notes were very thick, she had only skimmed through them once.
Guan Yunji and Shan Fengyang must have had a very close relationship. In the entire work notebook, besides Linxi Bridge, Guan Yunji appears the second most frequently.
They traveled together to many places in the Otherworld.
This was also something that Yan Shi found strange.
Guan Yunji and Shan Fengyang used to have such a good relationship, so why did Guan Yunji dedicate herself to breaking down the world barrier and causing trouble for Shan Fengyang's former workplace after Shan Fengyang's death?
They broke up...?
Furthermore, according to her work notes, Guan Yunji is a very gentle person.
Shan Fengyang wrote about her:
Yunji is always like this, speaking softly and acting softly.
In my opinion, there's no point in negotiating with these greedy Vatican members; we should just fight them.
Yunji disagreed, saying that force could not solve all problems.
Well, somehow, she did manage to convince the Pope.
But that didn't stop me from climbing over the wall with Linxi Bridge afterwards and beating up the Pope.
The old woman spent all day standing on her moral high ground, babbling on and on. She finally quieted down after being beaten.
I covered myself with a burlap sack; I swear, the Pope didn't see my face or Linxiqiao's face clearly.
Yan stopped.
Guan Yunji's current actions do not show that she does not advocate resolving issues with force.
What happened after Shan Fengyang's death? The gentle, intelligent protagonist completely transformed the villainous big boss.
World barrier, world barrier...
Yan Shi thought for a while, then remembered Duan Yunchen from last night. She said she didn't know why the General Administration later moved the Table World from the side of Guixu Sea.
Is the relocation of the headquarters related to the global barrier?
Yan Shi lowered his eyes.
We should ask the people who were in charge at the time.
She found Sheng Chunqiu in the spiritual message:
[Yan: Come to my office.]
Sheng Chunqiu, unusually, did not reply immediately, but instead replied after a while:
[Sheng Chunqiu: I'm sorry, Director Yan, I'm currently at the medical department. You may need to wait for about an hour.]
Yan Shi: ?
When she went to find the hairpin last night, Sheng Chunqiu seemed perfectly fine, so why is she in the medical department today?
Did another major battle occur after Yanlan left?
Sheng Chunqiu's next message came in immediately:
[Sheng Chunqiu: Director Yan, could you send me a document report first? I'm reviewing it now, and I'll be there as soon as it's finished.]
Yan Shi: ...
There's no rush.
She is not the kind of boss who expects subordinates to work while they are sick in their hospital beds.
Yan Shi did not reply to the message, but got up and went directly to the medical department.
The human wards are on the third floor of the medical ward.
Unlike the quiet fourth-floor fantasy ward of the medical department last time, the third floor was crowded.
People come and go, and doctors and nurses in light green uniforms from the logistics department move about in the corridor.
Some members, wearing the field uniform of the execution unit, with bloodstains on their jackets, were leaning against chairs in the corridor, bandaging their arms.
The ward next door seemed to be crammed with a team of medical personnel; the door was open.
The people inside are probably all fine; it's noisy and lively.
They were probably all part of the execution team that went to Emerald City for fieldwork last night.
He only came to the headquarters to treat his injuries after his duty was over.
Yan Shi walked through the crowd to the end of the corridor.
She asked Sheng Chunqiu's ward number at the reception desk downstairs.
The doctor happened to come out from inside, and when he saw Yan Shi, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "Director Yan."
Yan Shi nodded, walked into the ward, and closed the door.
The medical ward is well soundproofed, and you can immediately hear the noise outside.
Perhaps considering Sheng Chunqiu's status, this was a single, small hospital room.
Sheng Chunqiu was half-leaning on the bed, while Gui Gemu was lying on the edge of her bed, seemingly asleep.
When Sheng Chunqiu saw Yan Shi enter, he was somewhat surprised and quickly tried to get out of bed.
Yan Shi made a gesture to stop him: "No need."
Sheng Chunqiu: "Director Yan, why did you come in person?"
"I have something I want to ask you." Yan Shi sat down in the chair next to him. "Why did you end up in the medical ward?"
"The logistics department found a possible source for yesterday's altar in ancient books this morning," Sheng Chunqiu said. "Because it's related to soul sacrifice, I've come to the medical department to have it checked."
Although the Mithril Merchant Guild ultimately failed to achieve its objective yesterday, the ritual was successfully completed.
Sheng Chunqiu mainly came to check if there was anything missing from the soul, and to repair it as soon as possible if there was.
After all, the human soul is a very important thing.
Yan Shi: "What were the test results?"
“It’s strange,” Sheng Chunqiu frowned. “The sacrifice was successful, but as the central offering, I am completely unharmed.”
"It's alright." Yan Shi looked at her. Apart from being a little pale, Sheng Chunqiu seemed to be fine.
To be honest, Yan Shi thought that the pale complexion looked more like someone who had been working overtime late into the night.
It has nothing to do with the altar.
Just now, Sheng Chunqiu said something that surprised Yan Shi: "You've already found a possible source?"
“It comes from a fragmented book,” Sheng Chunqiu nodded, took out a tablet from the side, opened a photo, and handed it to Yan Shi.
"This fragment of the book is in the archives of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. A large part of that page was torn off, and the remaining part looks very similar to the remnant outline of yesterday's altar."
Yan Shi took the tablet, and then his face was covered with dense array lines.
Yan Shi: ...
Sure enough, I couldn't understand anything.
Array masters are all geniuses; even after tearing off more than half of it, they can still accurately recognize the outline as very similar.
Which curve has a similar trend?
This incomplete version is also very large.
This is already considered an incomplete version; the original must have been incredibly complex.
Yan Shi handed the tablet back to Sheng Chunqiu: "Hmm, what is this incomplete book mainly about?"
Sheng Chunqiu: "Most of them are formations, derived from the framework of the ancient gods. Some formations are complete, but their specific uses will only be clear after the logistics department replicates them."
It's amazing that it can be replicated.
Yan Shi gained a new understanding of the work abilities of some of her subordinates within the bureau, and she nodded: "Good."
Sheng Chunqiu, unable to discern Yan Ju's emotions, quickly added, "Because the formation is somewhat complex, it will take some time to find some materials. We should have results by next week at the latest."
"Once the results are in, I will include them in the report and send it to your email."
Yan Shi: "Okay."
The work from last night has all been reported. Sheng Chunqiu tugged at the corner of the blanket: "Director Yan, what brings you here?"
Yan Shi: "Do you know why the General Administration moved the Table World from the side of Guixu Sea?"
"Relocation?" Sheng Chunqiu was somewhat surprised. After recalling for a while, he shook his head: "I hadn't been working at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs for long at that time, so I didn't have access to any classified information."
"I only heard from rumors that it was the director at the time who insisted on it."
Sheng Chunqiu was a very cautious person, so if he said something, it certainly wasn't some true rumor.
This news was told to her by the then-returning minister.
The relocation of the General Administration caused a great uproar, and almost no one agreed to it at the time.
The heads of many branch offices in the main city were meeting at headquarters to jointly stop this.
But Shan Ju is a woman of her word; once she makes a decision, no one can change it. She moved out about two months later.
After Shan Ju left, some people suggested that he move back.
However, none of the previous directors before Director Yan were able to hold their positions, and the matter of relocating the General Administration back to its original location was dropped.
Yan Shi: "The bureau chief at the time?"
“Yes, a single round,” Sheng Chunqiu said. “I don’t know if you’re clear on that.”
Yan Shi lowered his eyes. Shan Ju, Shan Fengyang, is that Grandma?
So the relocation of the General Administration was related to my grandmother?
That's right. Yan Shi remembered that the first page of his grandmother's work journal said, "The director's office has a direct view of Guixu Sea."
They probably hadn't moved yet at that time.
Was there something that caused the relocation?
The Mithril Merchant Guild was established about twenty years ago.
Seeing Yan Shi deep in thought and silent, Sheng Chunqiu finally spoke after a long while: "It's already August, time flies."
She looked at the big tree outside the medical department. There were no cicadas chirping inside the management bureau, only the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind.
Why are you suddenly bringing this up?
Yan Shi's thoughts were interrupted, and she looked at Sheng Chunqiu with some confusion.
Sheng Chunqiu doesn't seem like the type to be melancholic about autumn or sentimental about spring.
Sheng Chunqiu: "Director Yan, your bureau secretary should be able to start work next week."
Yan Shi: ?
So it turns out she should have a secretary.
But why has it been delayed for so long?
"Generally, the director's secretariat selects outstanding graduates from the annual Zhanzhou outstanding graduates to join the secretariat, and they are trained before taking up their posts," Sheng Chunqiu explained.
"July is the graduation season in Zhanzhou. The Information Department has been working on the selection process for the Director-General's Secretariat for some time now."
The Director's Secretariat is the department with the fastest promotion rate in the Bureau of Management, and therefore has the highest requirements.
Often, being an outstanding graduate is merely the threshold for being selected.
After your resume passes the initial screening, you will need to go through multiple rounds of assessments, including three written tests, an initial interview, two random event assessments, and a practical assessment, before you can reach the final interview.
The final interview is usually conducted by the secretary-general, and sometimes the director will also observe and participate.
Because the position of director had been vacant for many years, and because the General Administration had moved from the Underworld to the Surface World, the Secretariat gradually faded away.
With Director Yan's strong intervention in various events, the Secretariat Office has once again become a hot topic.
"Because the secretariat is short-staffed, the selection criteria have been relaxed to include outstanding graduates from Zhanzhou in the last ten years. The final interview will be scheduled in a couple of days, and Director Lu should ask about your schedule."
Yan Shi nodded: "Zhan Zhou's graduation season is in July, and school starts in August?"
What about summer vacation?
Sheng Chunqiu: "Yes. Zhanzhou has three short holidays every year, usually about 20 days long. These are also the time for their semester practice."
Yan Shi: "Mm."
Seeing that Yan Shi seemed somewhat interested, Sheng Chunqiu continued, "The main reason is that Zhan Zhou's management model is very unique, which you may not be familiar with."
"Because we recruit students from both the inner and outer worlds simultaneously, and do not restrict the race of those applying from the inner world, the student body is very diverse. Therefore, we will adopt a joint management approach involving both a faculty committee and a student committee during the week."
"The annual admissions assessment for new students is conducted by graduates, using a method of random selection of questions based on different ethnic groups, with the faculty committee conducting random checks. This whole system can basically guarantee the fairness of the admissions assessment."
"At the same time, the Foreign Affairs Bureau will also have departments that coordinate with the Graduates' Weekly Assessment to score graduates. This is one of the important evaluation materials for outstanding graduates."
It sounds complicated, but the core message is simple: Zhanzhou's admissions and outstanding graduates are of high quality.
Why did Yanju suddenly ask about Zhan Zhou?
Sheng Chunqiu was somewhat puzzled.
Gui Gemu, who was lying next to him, had just woken up a bit. Hearing Sheng Chunqiu talking about Zhan Zhou, he mumbled, "Is Director Yan worried about Yan Lan?"
Yan Shi: ?
Sheng Chunqiu also looked over.
With two pairs of eyes watching him, Guige Mu instantly sobered up.
Returning to the Pavilion: !
She had been very worried about Sheng Chunqiu lately, and her nerves were on edge. Now that she had relaxed and taken a nap, she was stunned when she woke up.
She shouldn't have interrupted.
However, being watched, Gui Gemu had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to Sheng Chunqiu, "Lu Jian took the recommendation quota from Jiucheng and recommended Yanlan to work in Zhanzhou."
Yan Shi: ...
Is this Lu Jian's way of keeping secrets?
Everyone knows how to return to the inner chambers.
Sensing the subtle displeasure beneath Yan Shi's cold demeanor, Gui Gemu made a sewing motion with his mouth shut before saying, "Director Yan, don't worry, not many people know about this."
"It's just that the number of recommended candidates for the Twelve Cities and Nine Towers is fixed every year, and they need to be reported to Zhan Zhou at least three months in advance."
"Lu Jian suddenly squeezed in someone from Jiucheng's quota just before the start of the semester, and almost everyone noticed it."
Yan Shi: ...
What do you mean "big family"? This is their extended family's channel, isn't it?
Yan Shi was not part of this large family.
Gui Gemu continued to try to salvage the situation: "I can only see a name, I can't access the file. I only remembered it because I know Yanlan is your sister."
Seeing that Director Yan's face was still cold, she tried to change the subject: "By the way, Yan Lan should have been working at Zhan Zhou for a few days now, right? Zhan Zhou is currently in the freshman season, it should be quite lively."
"Zhanzhou is located above the capital, so it will be convenient for you to visit Yanlan."
"I wonder what Zhan Zhou is like now..." Seeing Yan Ju's expression, Gui Ge Mu stopped talking.
Yanju stood up and gave her one last look: "I don't want to hear about this from anyone else."
Gui Gemu nodded frantically: "I promise."
Yan Ju glanced at Sheng Chunqiu again, said nothing more, and left the ward directly.
Returning to the Pavilion: ...
After Yan Ju's footsteps left the floor, Gui Ge Mu sighed and lay down next to Sheng Chunqiu's bed: "Everyone already knew that, and I didn't say anything wrong."
Sheng Chunqiu patted her head: "It's alright. Director Yan's dissatisfaction isn't directed at you, but at the powerful families."
"She's already started with Twelve Cities, Nine Towers, but who knows who'll be next."
Sheng Chunqiu was usually very reserved, but he rarely showed his sharpness in front of his friend: "Originally, the management of human territory should belong to the Bureau of Alien Management."
Guige Mu rested his face on his hand as he looked at her.
They both remained silent and did not continue their conversation.
After rushing out of the ward, Yan Shi exclaimed: !!
She finally remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something again.
She had forgotten that Lu Jian had asked her to log into Yanlan's spiritual communication account with a new identity verification system last time.
Because she only had one Lingxun (a type of mobile phone service) on her phone, Yan Shi kept considering whether to buy another phone to log into Yan Lan's account, which delayed her decision.
I completely forgot about it later.
Yan Shi: ...
She quickly walked back to her office and logged into the identity verification system.
As soon as I logged in, a flood of internal information popped up, showing 99+.
[Lu Jian: Ms. Yanlan, please remember to log in to Lingxun using this ID code after verifying your identity.]
[Lu Jian: Ms. Yanlan, please log in to your spiritual communication system. The information related to your onboarding during the Zhan Zhou period is linked to your spiritual communication.]
[Lu Jian: Ms. Yanlan, please log in to the spirit communication system.]
...
[Lu Jian: Little ancestor, log in to the spirit message if you see this, otherwise I'm going to tell Director Yan.]
The last message was sent 10 minutes ago.
Yan Shi: ...
It's quite touching that Lu Jian has to worry about this matter amidst his busy schedule.
Author's note: Although it's late today, today has been exceptionally long.
