The day in the ore department starts off busy.
Xingyao was holding a cup of coffee, yawning, and greeting the appraisers who were passing by.
"good morning."
"Good morning, Deputy Minister."
"Deputy Minister Xingyao also looks good today."
"Thanks."
Xingyao smoothed her long hair with satisfaction.
He spent an hour and a half this morning studying the new method.
The slightly curly long hair crisscrossed and coiled behind her head, like a complex mechanical circuit, fixed by a hairpin with a sapphire hanging on it.
all in all.
Exquisite and beautiful.
He glanced nervously at the terminal.
Jinyi is used to arriving at the General Services Office ten minutes before work. He doesn't like nutritional supplements that have a refreshing effect, but is keen on high-concentration black coffee.
Xingyao specifically ordered double milk without sugar according to his preference, and even found an excuse for the "buy one get one free" promotion.
Ignoring the pile of documents waiting to be signed on his desk, he nervously adjusted his hair again.
Will he be praised when I give him the coffee later?
He thought expectantly.
Unfortunately, before Jin Yi arrived, a cute and shy maid arrived.
Anya lifted her skirt, bent her knees slightly, and gave Xingyao a ladylike salute.
"Deputy Minister Xingyao, the Young Lord's wife asked me to pass on a message to you."
"Please go to the lounge in ten minutes with the identification form for the smuggled ore, which is nearly a month old. He will be waiting for you there."
…
Xingyao's mind went blank, and she looked at Chen Que, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, in panic.
"Um... Director... is there any problem?"
Shen Que went through the lists one by one, "Are all the smuggling identification forms signed by you?"
"Not necessarily." Xingyao clenched her hands. "Sometimes Jinyi will sign for me... when I'm too busy... but I'll always check it later! Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes in the identification."
Shen Que nodded. He did see Jin Yi's neat signature inside.
"Is there any symbiotic stone among the recent smuggled ore?"
Xingyao recalled.
"There are two. One is a symbiotic stone of moonstone and hyacinth, with a ratio of 1:2, and a purity of 73% and 55% respectively."
"The other piece is starlight and hibiscus jade, with a ratio of 7:9 and a purity of 32% and 47% respectively."
I remember it very clearly.
Shen Que glanced at him again.
"Are there any crystalline alluvial gold and aquamarine intergrowth stones with a purity of over 95%?"
Xingyao was obviously stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head.
"Crystallized gold dust only appears in the asteroid belt near White Sand Planet. And with such high purity, it must be worth hundreds of millions, right? I want to follow them when they confiscate it."
Shen Que picked up the stack of information and asked, "Are all the appraisal forms here?"
Xingyao nodded frantically.
"There are 172 orders in total, and I have reviewed every one of them."
"Very good." Chen Que stood up and patted Xingyao on the shoulder. "Let's have coffee later. Come with me first."
The General Affairs Department is divided by the courtyard, with the Minerals Department and the Trade Department standing at the two corners.
When we arrived at the reception room of the Ministry of Trade, Demi and Phil were already waiting there.
Also with them was old Dion and his apprentice.
"Ma'am, this is a complaint appointment from the Ministry of Trade." Demi presented a light card.
The apprentice looked at Shen Que in a daze.
He still hasn't figured out the situation.
All they knew was that early in the morning, the maid who often came to order custom-made ore came over and asked them to go to the General Affairs Office.
Dion didn't ask any questions, took off his goggles and followed.
And now... standing before him...
It can't be wrong.
This is the young lord’s wife!
He had seen it on StarNet!
He glanced at his master nervously, but Dion just glanced casually at the white stone on Shen Que's chest, shook his head and smiled.
"Madam, this is Deputy Minister Xingyao." The old craftsman greeted the two of them.
Shen Que simply nodded and gestured to Demi: “Go ahead.”
Demi took the light card and walked to the complaints area of the Ministry of Trade.
The person who received her was the same department member from yesterday.
Seeing Demi coming over, he showed an impatient look.
"Why you again? Didn't I ask yesterday? We have complete procedures for investigating and handling ore here. If there's nothing wrong with your ore, why would it be investigated and handled for no reason?"
"Hurry up and go!"
"But I appealed." Demi waved the appointment record in her hand. "I didn't ask for any special treatment. You have to give me a chance, right?"
"Don't you understand what people are saying?"
The receptionist raised her voice.
"You don't even know if your ore has the necessary paperwork? You're lying and wasting our time."
“Do you know how much cargo we have to register every day?”
"If everyone complained like you, would we still be able to do our jobs?!"
"Sorry, sorry." Demi said with a smile, "But you have to follow the prescribed procedures. Our wife came in person today and wanted to know what's going on."
"Your wife?" The receptionist scoffed. "What's your wife? If there's a problem, there's a problem. Even if the lord's wife comes to complain, it's useless!"
After saying that, he turned around and continued to register the confiscated ore, looking like he didn't want to bother with Demi anymore.
Demi was about to continue speaking when a hand suddenly snatched the light card from her hand.
Shen Que pushed the appointment in front of the receptionist and opened his thin lips slightly: “Excuse me, I want to apply to see the smuggling identification form of the ore.”
The receptionist slammed the table and turned around to continue scolding.
A cold and indifferent face came into view.
With a "pop", the ore in his hand fell to the ground.
