Chapter 6
When Ji Yile was interning in District L, he heard many leaders ask this kind of question.
Some newcomers are too straightforward and directly say how bad the L area is.
Then, the leader’s face turned black.
You won't be fired, but you may still get bullied occasionally.
Ji Yile immediately prepared himself for battle. When he was thinking, Lin Guo smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We are very casual here. Just say it directly."
Seeing that Ji Yile was still nervous, Lin Guo continued, "Besides, I can't fire you, right?"
Here it comes, here it comes, the classic lines are here.
Fortunately, Ji Yile followed Zhong Wenxu around this week and witnessed the rich and exciting nightlife in Area A as well as the messy and quiet surroundings.
He quickly said, "Area A is actually not bad. During the day, there are a lot of shops. You can buy whatever you need at any time. And the milk tea is delicious."
Ji Yile accidentally mentioned his recent hobby and quickly covered his mouth.
Lin Guo laughed and scolded Zhong Wenxu: "Look at you, you are leading the newcomers astray."
Ji Yile lowered his eyes. Damn, how come the leader even knew who took him to drink milk tea? Shouldn't the leader be busy with all kinds of things and go to meetings whenever he wants? How come he even knew such a small thing? Who! Who told him!
Ji Yile was secretly shocked and vowed to be careful with his words and actions in the future. God knows where the leader's spies are.
As a qualified worker, one must not let their leaders discover that they are slacking off.
As Lin Guo joked gently, Ji Yile continued to talk about his feelings about coming to Area A.
"The people here are actually pretty nice, just a little noisy at night. But it's not bad, which proves that our District A is a vibrant place. Besides, there haven't been any safety issues or complaints at night, which also proves that our public security is very good."
The more Ji Yile spoke, the deeper Lin Guo's smile became.
Then, Lin Guo turned to Lan Xin and said, "Look, look at this newcomer, what a talent!"
Before leaving, Lin Guo reminded Lan Xin again, "Old Lan, you must not let other regions snatch Xiao Ji away."
This is really...even when he went to the meeting to report, he didn't dare to brag about it, but all of it was said out by the newcomer.
Lin Guo touched his chin, and then said to the secretary beside him, "You said, at the next quarterly meeting, I will report according to what Xiao Ji just said, okay?"
The secretary's silence was Lin Guo's answer.
Lin Guo sighed, "Why are you so stubborn? Learn from young people like Xiao Ji, who are flexible and focus on the key points."
Ji Yile breathed a sigh of relief after the leader left. Lan Xin had already put her feet on the desk without any sitting posture, and lit a cigarette in her hand. "What is there to be afraid of? He is just a director. Is there any need to be so nervous that you stutter?"
Ji Yile immediately turned around to defend himself, "How can I not be nervous? That's my boss! What if he's not satisfied with me and rejects my application for regularization?"
Lan Xin was happy. He smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I can't fire you if I hire you!"
Ji Yile still cares a lot, "Ratings are still very important."
Lan Xin, who was still in the disciplinary process, didn't care at all. "Tsk, it's just a rating."
The leader had been here for so long, Feng Junan, who had been sleeping, finally woke up. He happened to hear the conversation between Ji Yile and Lan Xin, and immediately joined the topic, "Grading is still very important, Brother Xin, look at me, my performance for the first half of the year has been credited. But you, because you are still under disciplinary action, your performance has been cancelled."
Lan Xin's face immediately fell after hearing this, while Ji Yile nodded vigorously.
"Brother Xin, look at this!! This is the difference! If you get a high score, there will be extra rewards!" Ji Yile clenched his fists. He will definitely strive for good grades and get more bonuses! Mom and Dad said that they were often praised back then, so he can't fall behind.
It was a hot summer day and the heat wave was blowing, but Ji Yile still stuck to his job without any concern and continued to go door-to-door to register information.
Zhong Wenxu fell far behind Ji Yile, walking slower and slower, becoming weaker and weaker.
It was still Deep Water Garden, but he really didn't want to walk on the street on a hot summer afternoon.
It's too hot, too painful.
Even in Area A, which is full of weirdness, the gloomy place becomes sunny in July.
"What a waste!" Zhong Wenxu said with emotion.
A group of people, oh no, the weirdness of the whole city can't even make this place cool.
Really, calling them trash is a compliment to them.
"It's not as cool as a ghost!" Zhong Wenxu took the last sip of lemon tea vigorously.
"Ghosts won't appear in broad daylight! Brother Xu, just give up!" Ji Yile suddenly came to Zhong Wenxu and said quietly.
He kept walking forward, just about to talk to Zhong Wenxu, but when he turned around, he could hardly see him. Unable to wait for Zhong Wenxu to move forward, Ji Yile could only turn back to look for him.
Zhong Wenxu looked at Ji Yile with an indescribable expression, and then hesitantly said, "Actually... there's really no need. There's no need to be so stubborn."
Ji Yile raised his head and asked without a soul, "Then who is responsible for this work in other areas? And how long does it take?"
"Uh." Zhong Wenxu couldn't withstand the pressure and took half a step back.
Ji Yile continued expressionlessly: "Or, how many of these are newcomers on probation?"
“……” Zhong Wenxu was defeated step by step.
Then he scratched his head vigorously, "Ah~! So annoying!"
Zhong Wenxu finally said in annoyance: "It's all Brother Xin's fault. I shouldn't have given this job to you! You're a newcomer, and you're doing such an important job right after you come in. It's obvious that they want to bully you!"
After a week, Ji Yile had a very clear understanding of the operation of their department and its current situation.
He immediately explained for Lan Xin: "Brother Xin just doesn't have enough manpower, so he had to let me, a newcomer, take this job."
Deputy Section Chief Feng Junan was busy with an important project and couldn't spare time to help. As for Lan Xin, she would work late every day unless something unexpected happened. The other two colleagues were on business trips and were said to be doing dangerous work. He and Zhong Wenxu were the only ones left in the entire section.
According to Lan Xin, the section chief, Brother Xu is a member of the mobile team, and he can move wherever he is needed. He is also on standby 24 hours a day, ready to take over the work of the two colleagues who are on business trips.
Therefore, the census work had to be taken over by him, the newcomer.
There was nothing that could be done about it, but fortunately Ji Yile got started immediately and did a great job.
Zhong Wenxu sighed and said unwillingly, "Really, you can actually slow down and not push yourself. Anyway... Hey, I won't say it anymore! Otherwise, I'll teach you a bad lesson."
Ji Yile raised his chin and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, I am a principled person and I won't suffer any loss!"
Zhong Wenxu looked at him and then sighed again.
After Ji Yile showed off his skills in Building No. 1, Zhong Wenxu immediately went back to report to Lan Xin. However, Lan Xin was not at all moved after hearing the news, so Zhong Wenxu knew that Lan Xin had known about it for a long time.
Although Lan Xin didn't say it, through his own secret observation, he found that Ji Yile was not afraid of the weirdness here at all, even if he himself didn't know it.
Probably, I don’t know?
The weirdness of Area A has now been perfectly disguised as humans and integrated into human life.
This is also one of the agreements between humans and the weird.
Even though Area A is unwilling to accept the weirdness and is always sabotaging in secret, on the surface, they still do a very good job of pretending to be good.
In addition, the authorities are trying to downplay the disaster, and strange things are basically not seen in today's textbooks.
Therefore, young people of this generation, if they are not gifted awakeners, basically don't know about related things. And Ji Yile is not a gifted awakener at all, he is just an ordinary person.
But it's also ridiculous that an ordinary person would be frightened by the weirdness of a building.
However, he had to admit that it was really amazing. What kind of strength was that?
Anyway, Zhong Wenxu really envied Ji Yile's strength.
Ji Yile was frightened by Zhong Wenxu's stare. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, why are you looking at me?"
Zhong Wenxu quickly said, "Look at you."
Ji Yile tensed up even more. He said with a stern face, "I, I'm straight."
Zhong Wenxu patted Ji Yile's head speechlessly, "What are you thinking about! Stop overthinking."
Ji Yile covered his head and said, "Who told Brother Xu to say something so scary?"
They walked to Building No. 2 of Deep Water Garden and looked up at this 19-story residential building. Compared with Building No. 1, Building No. 2 looked more historic. It looked like it had been through many hardships. However, it was only five years old.
Ji Yile couldn't understand how the residents of this building had turned a good building into this state in the past five years.
The point is, why doesn’t the property management care about it?
Don’t you think it’s ugly?
He quickly called a property staff member and asked, "This whole building is covered with these vines. Don't you think it's ugly?"
After Ji Yile finished speaking, he moved the vines that were wrapped around the entire building toward the wind.
Ji Yile thought it was okay, but the staff member was visibly nervous. She said to Ji Yile with a stiff smile, "These are plants grown by the residents of Building 2. The purpose of our property management is to focus on the owners, so there is nothing we can do."
The exhaustion of a corporate slave was revealed in his eyes, and Ji Yile understood.
He nodded and said sympathetically, "I understand. You have worked hard."
The staff was somewhat moved, and looked at Ji Yile with tears in her eyes. At this moment, she suddenly had a good impression of the General Affairs Department. If everyone and the ghost were as easy to talk to as Mr. Ji in front of her, the world would be a very beautiful place. God knows, in order to prevent Building No. 2 from raising this ghost, they really tried their best.
After a few polite words, Ji Yile and Zhong Wenxu stepped into Building No. 2 together.
When entering the elevator, Ji Yile touched his back and asked Zhong Wenxu puzzledly, "Why do I always feel cold? There is no air conditioning here!"
