Solving problems and new problems
After coming back, Ji Yunding took a long nap first, and when he opened his eyes again, the whole day was almost over.
Chat software...the news is about to explode.
About two years ago, Ji Yunding's social circle was only Li Fengqing. Now, there are more inexplicably good people around him, but there are also many inexplicable people on the chat software.
He picked out the important people to reply to, and ignored all the other people who were trying to get close to him. It seemed that a group of independent things didn't make any noise at all. I don't know how Ji Liuxing fooled them.
While replying, Ji Yunding ran to group one. Training will start tomorrow, and there are a lot of things to deal with today.
"Nono, help me, I gave a gift to my high school teacher but was rejected!"
Zheng Nuo has been half-transferred to an administrative position. Apart from some basic tasks, every day he does some work that makes Ji Yunding want to ask Ji Liuxing how he could jump from the 28th floor without dying.
However, she herself enjoys it. It is no exaggeration to say that the world will not turn without the group, and the group will not turn without Zheng Nuo.
Ji Yunding asked the right person this question.
Zheng Nuo had just handed in the documents and was sitting on the sofa, reviewing his copies for the second time while waiting. When he saw Ji Yunding rushing over, he was the first to ask about the details.
"When giving a gift, you must first understand why you are giving it. Do you want something from her? Do you want to apologize? Or do you simply want to express your gratitude..."
"To express my gratitude, she took good care of me in the past, but last time I sent her money she was rejected."
When Zheng Nuo heard Ji Yunding's statement, he stopped flipping through the documents in his hand and then looked up.
"You just transferred the money? How could they possibly accept it..."
"Why not?" Ji Yunding tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.
At the same time, several other seniors who were reporting on their work in the office turned around and looked at the two of them, and also asked, "Why not?"
"Oh My God."
Zheng Nuo said this without any malice or disparagement. He simply expressed his feelings about the overly simple social skills of the people here.
"If you must give money..." Ji Liuxing thought about it carefully and said casually, "Remember to give cash. I've heard that large transfers are easy to be investigated."
"No, Team Leader, don't make trouble... Yun Ding, don't nod and write it down!"
Zheng Nuo stood up and grabbed Ji Yunding's shoulders and shook him.
"Wake up, the team leader was bribed! And didn't he take the money?"
"That's right." Ji Yunding nodded while being shaken, "Then, what should I give?"
"Of course it can't be too shabby, but it can't be too expensive either." Zheng Nuo looked at Ji Yunding with concern, "How much do you want to give?"
"Hundreds of thousands?"
"...You want to send your teacher to jail. Wait, you transferred hundreds of thousands to her?"
"The daily transfer limit on the chat app is 200,000 yuan, but she refused to accept it, and then lectured me for an hour..." Ji Yunding felt a little aggrieved when he said this, "I told Ah Qing about it, and Ah Qing scolded me too."
"Ah Qing did the right thing." Zheng Nuo commented mercilessly, "Also, Yun Ding, if you spread this out, it will cause public opinion."
After staying in the group for a long time, Ji Yunding knew that his ability to adapt to civilized society was rapidly deteriorating, so he obediently found a place to sit down and listen to Zheng Nuo's teachings.
"First of all, do you usually interact with that teacher?"
"Yes... When I used my points to exchange for a few thousand yuan, Qing and I bought her flowers. She was very happy."
"If you have regular contact with him, from my point of view, the teacher should still treat you as a student, so you can just give him what you should give as a student.
Then, consider what the teacher likes. You should think about it yourself. I can’t say much.
Finally, please remember to give gifts in private, not in front of others, as this will make it very difficult for the recipient. "
Zheng Nuo fluently gave a feasible solution.
“But money can allow the teacher to buy things she likes.”
Ji Yunding thought about it, but still didn't understand.
"Logically speaking, giving money is the most reasonable option and the best way for teachers to get the items they like."
"Giving gifts is a favor, giving money is called bribery."
Zheng Nuo tapped Ji Yunding's forehead, and it seemed like he learned this from Li Fengqing.
"In ghost stories, logic is paramount, because it is for the sake of survival. But for humans, sometimes emotions are more powerful than logic.
When you give gifts, besides the value of the item, the more important thing is the emotion."
"Ghost stories can also tell me the rules..." Ji Yunding felt a headache about the unreasonable human society.
At this time, a senior from the first group just finished reporting and came over to interject, "That's not necessarily true. If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, maybe they won't tell us after it becomes a ghost story."
Just like no one in the real world would write "Don't jump from the 28th floor" on a piece of paper and then stick it on the wall, once the alien dimension and the real world have merged to a certain extent, there is no need for the monsters to write some of the rules of the alien dimension explicitly.
In other words, the weirdness has assimilated the rules of the real world and become part of the rules of nature.
"You have a harder time now. The rules used to be as detailed as an instruction manual, but now they are becoming more and more vague."
The senior patted Ji Yunding on the shoulder, and then patted Zheng Nuo on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's you, senior. Thank you for your hard work in exploring the alternate dimension."
Ji Yunding and Zheng Nuo replied politely. Then, Ji Yunding remembered something.
"Fixed Ghost Stories has the potential to solve this matter, so why not announce it?"
When Ji Yunding woke up, she saw a message asking her not to reveal the matter to the outside world for the time being, and she was still a little confused.
"The situation is still uncertain, but T has stopped its expansion trend, so the Ghost Story Bureau will keep it secret for a while and announce it after the investigation is complete."
Zheng Nuo shook his head, feeling a little headache when he mentioned this matter.
"Although this is a good thing, we can't be careless about big news related to ghost stories. If there is any mistake, the public opinion on the Internet will immediately flood in."
"I almost forgot, in a few days it will be time for our group to recruit new members."
Ji Liuxing didn't know what he saw, and suddenly raised his head.
"Student Ji Yunding, can you help me pick a few people I like from the people recommended below? Just enough ability, no other requirements."
"…If our group was as casual as we are, public opinion would have been ruined long ago."
Zheng Nuo replied in silence and sighed.
"Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, the person in charge of recruiting new members and the person who is recruited have a natural connection. How can you just throw the matter of recruiting new members to someone else and only send one person?"
If only one person is allowed to take care of this matter, the linkage will be even more serious - because whether it works or not is up to Ji Yunding to decide.
"That's good. If they don't obey me, they can obey Ji Yunding. As long as they can do their job, there's no problem. As for sending only one person... being arbitrary is a good quality of an investigator."
Ji Liuxing spread his hands, took out instant coffee powder from the drawer, and took a sip like a snack.
"This kind of chaotic organization where everything gives way to abilities always feels like a villain."
Zheng Nuo complained. Ji Yunding curiously asked Ji Liuxing for a bag of instant coffee powder, tasted it, and frowned.
“It tastes terrible.”
After saying that, Ji Yunding simply walked to the refrigerator, took a box of blueberries, ate a few, and turned to look at Ji Liuxing.
"Team Leader, the blueberries you bought are really not tasty."
"You're so picky. There's candy in the drawer under the table over there. That one must be sweet."
Ji Liuxing smiled and pointed, then handed the document to Zheng Nuo.
“I have no objection to the proposal to fight for the agency rights of the research group, but you have to think carefully, this matter will tie you down here.
We are not actually an organization with real power. At most, we are a key project team with sufficient funds. Having said that, you should have your own considerations, right? "
"Team leader, there is something wrong with your understanding of 'power'."
Zheng Nuo shook his head and sighed.
"In my opinion, the fact that the research group has no power is a big problem - this is simply not true. Yun Ding, do you know why the research group seems to have a lot of power even though it has no real power as stipulated?"
Ji Yunding was eating jelly and was called by Zheng Nuo while he was biting the fork.
"Because there is no research team?"
"That's one side of it, simply put, 'being needed'. What's the other side of it?"
"We can just say we don't want to do it?"
"That's exactly right. It means 'cannot be forced' and 'needed, can coerce others'. If you have these two things, you have power."
Zheng Nuo looked at Ji Liuxing and continued,
“Power is something that comes naturally, and it is not given by any position. It is a problem when people who should not have power hold power, but it is also a problem when people who should have power do not have power.
The research group needs power to protect the rights of its members; otherwise, sooner or later it will be cut off from the civilized world.
Now, the investigators within the research group all trust you, and outside the research group, they have to listen to your opinions, so everything seems to be running smoothly.
But even so, it was able to operate for eight years before any problems occurred... I feel that your family should not be a normal place, at least it has domesticated people to a certain extent."
"What a hassle." Ji Yunding understood, but he was a little confused. "Anyway, isn't Group 1 independent anymore?"
"Yes, thanks to Zheng Nuo, this is the case for now."
Ji Liuxing sat back in his seat and took out a few books from some drawer.
"I really hadn't thought about this aspect before. Fortunately, I came across this incident and had a serious chat with the three of them. Then, I just asked Zheng Nuo about the politics of the civilized world."
"Team Leader, even with caffeine, you'll die if you don't sleep."
Ji Yunding couldn't help but say.
"That makes sense, so I'll leave the plan for the two of you to consider in terms of gaining real power for the research group. If you have any questions, you can ask the person who liaises with the research group and the administration. I've already given Zheng Nuo his stamp of approval."
After Ji Liuxing finished speaking, he lay down on the table, raised his hand and waved.
"Bye, just do whatever you want, don't worry about anything."
Ji Yunding was given the job for no apparent reason, but seeing that Zheng Nuo seemed to be in high spirits, he waited until they left the house before asking.
"Nono, aren't you going to use the research group as a springboard?"
"That's right, because I used to think that the research group wasn't a powerful organization, but I was wrong - this place is more important than I thought."
Zheng Nuo was a little excited, so he pulled Ji Yunding to start looking for someone.
"Starting from me, I want to turn the research group into an organization with real power and become the capital to support me."
"So, Nono, do you want to be the team leader?"
"It's not a question of whether or not we want to, it's a question of being able to do it. The rules that people here recognize are completely different from those in the civilized world, but..."
Zheng Nuo turned around and looked at Ji Yunding and smiled.
"We can work together. You just need to be the strongest according to the rules over there, and I will get what I want from the collision between the research team and the civilized world."
………………
Somewhere in another dimension, a discussion is taking place.
"The proposal to promote Ji Liuxing's weirdness is feasible."
Polar Night’s representative, An Le Zong, is speaking - their power’s ideas and actions are not welcomed, but that does not mean they cannot cooperate with other forces.
In the chaotic alternate plane, the weird will also establish a certain order for efficiency. Just like the main world plane that advocates order, there are also many people who pursue "chaos".
"According to my ability, his degree of weirdness increased sharply during the conversation, proving that his 'self' has not been completely erased. In addition, about the person I mentioned earlier, you should have heard a lot about him recently, Ji Yunding..."
