Enforcer's Handbook

An excellent part-time worker knows how to adjust his mentality at all times. One of the principles is to have a regular schedule and adequate rest, and never accumulate fatigue and stress until the next day.

Song Lan practices this personally.

A solid night's sleep is enough to put all the big and small things that happened yesterday behind.

After arriving in the first area, he took a nap for the first time in a long time and broke his own record of being on time for several consecutive days.

However, in a sense, reporting to the counterintelligence department is also to safeguard the security of the coalition government, so this should not be regarded as skipping work, but should be classified as a business trip.

When Song Lan arrived at the building of the counterintelligence department by bicycle after lunch, the staff here had already entered into an intensive work session. The small office was in sharp contrast with the magnificent building that looked from the outside. Everyone's desk It’s only about five cubic meters.

A desk, a computer, and a mountain of electronic manuals, this seems to be the daily life of a counterintelligence department employee.

Song Lan could see the busy work scene inside through the slightly translucent bulletproof glass. In addition to work documents, there were also auxiliary props such as coffee and anti-fatigue drugs that could ensure their work efficiency at all times.

After you've finished a grueling few hours of work, take a breath, give yourself an anti-fatigue shot, and get back to work again.

Walking along the corridor to the end is Lu Xiang's office.

Just from the floor space of the office, you can tell how valuable the head of the counterintelligence department is. When he entered, Lu Xiang was sitting at his desk with his back to him. There were half-eaten snacks on the table, which he usually made and put in. For the refrigerator.

She faced the holographic projection, and the size of the projection was comparable to a small screen in a private theater.

"Are you awake?"

Lu Xiang wiped the residue from the corner of his mouth and stretched.

Just like everyone else in the department, she had just finished her morning work - a video conference held by the Council. MI7 and the counter-intelligence department were the protagonists of the meeting, and they discussed in detail yesterday's changes in military technology. .

They have not yet taken action against Zero, the leader of the project team, and put her back after a brief inquiry. However, at the same time, her daily communication equipment has become the focus of monitoring. At the same time, a New tasks were assigned to the two departments.

Try to find out the origin of "Overload Type IV".

Although Zero insisted that this was an upgraded version of the overload system and that the project team had spent countless efforts and failed hundreds of times to create the result of military technology, the chairman of the review obviously did not buy her explanation.

Throughout the morning, she was surrounded by an unimaginable amount of information. It is no wonder that prosthetic transplantation is a required course before joining the company. With the reserve capacity and speed of the human brain, no matter how good the memory is, no one is capable of this kind of task. To this extent, neither the company nor the federal government will allow employees to make mistakes in data.

A single memory error may cost the department more than seven figures.

Lu Xiang turned the swivel chair, looked at Song Lan, who seemed a little confused, and lamented that if Song Lan was made the leader of these important departments, the company would be at risk of bankruptcy in a few days.

In fact, in her opinion, H1's model is more like a security company - it is probably one of the few current work models that does not need to process a large amount of information and data, and can also earn high returns. The only drawback is the average life span of this industry. It's really a bit short. There are very few people who can save enough money to leave this industry. If they are not careful, they will die in the process of performing their tasks.

Of course, there are also some departments that have been taken advantage of by the coalition government.

For example, MI7.

The intelligence officers of MI7 have to process large amounts of information and often need to perform high-risk tasks.

During the time he came to the first district, Lu Xiang finally understood the biggest difference between the two departments.

Compared with MI7, they are more like civilians, and they mostly deal with internal affairs. Employees at the headquarters rarely travel unless necessary. Most of the work is done while sitting in the office. The only possibility is a crisis. The possibility of life is death from overwork.

"Well, it's rare to have a good sleep."

Song Lan yawned.

Yesterday, he slept for more than ten hours, and while he was fully relaxed and enjoyed, it also inevitably produced some side effects - at least for him, every time he slept for too long, he would fall into a lazy mood. In this situation, you will be doing what you are doing now and you won’t be able to do anything energetically.

His eyes wandered around the room for a moment, then stopped on Lu Xiang's computer screen, and then he made a surprising discovery, "Do you shop online during work?"

This is normal for H1, but for Lu Xiang, who is known for his serious and responsible work, it is really surprising.

"Well, this is currently the most popular website for searching for prosthetics."

Lu Xiang did not deny it, "It is mainly about waist performance-enhancing prostheses. I heard they said that sitting in the office for a long time will cause strain on the waist. I also learned about some implants first to prepare for emergencies."

According to the internal statistics of the counterintelligence department, in addition to the operating system necessary for work, the first thing most people modify is the part related to the waist. As many as 85% of the people undergo waist modification, while the remaining 15% It is one of the few departments with field work.

Although there is no obvious discomfort yet, from a scientific perspective, her waist may be wearing out much faster than other employees.

"The development of prostheses is really changing with each passing day. Minimalist-style prostheses can be implanted without splicing lines. After surgery, they will look the same as the original ones."

This morning's meeting was extremely long, with several heated arguments breaking out, which provided her with plenty of time to sneak around shopping sites in private.

"The most popular style in District 1 right now is minimalism. Have you heard of it?"

"never heard of that."

Song Lan shook his head. He was one of the few pure original humans. He didn't even have a chip connection slot, which would indeed cause problems at work.

In the past, when department meetings were held in District 17, embedded chips would be prepared for everyone. It is said that as long as the chip is inserted into the connection slot, no explanation is needed, and the information and data inside will immediately appear in front of his eyes, and he I have to take my laptop to the conference room every time and flip through the information page by page using a method that Captain Doug jokingly calls "last century".

"Minimalism refers to a style that cannot be seen from the outside. Most of the big shots you see usually advocate minimalism, and the style like Huang Gu, who transforms his body to look like a war machine, It’s called Fauvism.”

"Lao Lu, you actually learned to desert during meetings!"

"I always will."

Lu Xiang remained calm-faced, "I didn't have the opportunity to desert before because I had to chair the meeting, but it's different now."

In the first district, the head of the counter-intelligence department was not a real big shot. Originally, due to her position, she was not even qualified to participate in the discussion of the Senate meeting. Because of her status, the Senate President recommended her to participate in the remote meeting.

But in fact the dispute at the meeting had nothing to do with her.

In Song Lan's words, the coalition government is now facing a critical crisis, but the reformists and conservatives still cannot put aside their prejudices and work together.

The main contention at today's meeting was the follow-up treatment of Desolate Bones.

Potential competitors of military technology firmly believe that the desolate bones are a source of instability and should not be repaired, but should be completely destroyed.

“And when I was studying at Daystar, there was never such a strange label as ‘serious and responsible’.”

Chief student.

League Championship.

College gold hunter.

These are the names she has heard the most. No matter in Daystar or in the core city, no one will be looked down upon because of the quality of "seriousness and responsibility". That is usually done when there are no other obvious achievements. Ask for the next explanation.

This title only came to her after she was transferred to work in District 17 after graduation, especially after she met Song Lan.

"You should have seen it on the way here, right? Most people in the counter-intelligence department are very serious and responsible in their work. From the perspective of working hours, there are a lot of people in the department who are more 'serious and responsible' than me. Many of them usually work They all live in the department and only get about 4 hours of sleep a day on average, and they work the rest of the time."

Lu Xiang also figured out the problem when he deserted during the meeting, "I think the reason why people always described me like this when I was in District 17 was probably because I was set off by you. In a place like the counterintelligence department, , no one would ever use this title.”

She paused and said, "Actually, it was a little strange when I first went to District 17. I just completed my job as the head of the law enforcement department, so how could I be described like this? Now that I think about it, the main reason should be It’s because there were too many idle people like you in the previous department!”

Working overtime and taking anti-fatigue drugs are the norm in large companies or important departments in core cities, and people have long been accustomed to it.

"Stop, stop, stop, you invited me here today to denounce me, right?"

"That could be one of the reasons."

Lu Xiang thought for a while and said, "You were also discussed in today's video conference. Your H1 has been complained several times for doing nothing."

On paper alone, this is a department with more than four six-star rescuers. You must know that the coalition government has never had a department close to H1 in terms of paper strength.

But look at these people, bringing together the top combat forces of the coalition government, what have they done?

Enjoy tea, chat about fashion, gossip, and even watch movies all day long!

When these complaints reached the ears of the council, many companies were so jealous that their eyes turned red.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go and work for them. Many of the company's businesses in the 'outside world' need the help of six-star rescuers."

Lu Xiang coughed lightly and imitated the indignant tone of the congressmen.

In their opinion, people like Song Lan are a complete waste of their work ability and lives!

"Why? We are not company employees."

"Because they seem to think that H1 is a resource that belongs to the coalition government, and it should be your mission to dedicate yourself to the coalition government."

As a result, Lu Xiang, who was very close to Song Lan, inexplicably took on many more tasks that had nothing to do with the counterintelligence department.

For example, in his free time, he actively carried out ideological education work for Song Lan and instilled in him what an honorable mission it was to serve the coalition government and the company. Nowadays, many people want to work for the company but have never had the opportunity.

"Fortunately, you brought down the Desolate Bones yesterday and made the council realize the importance of keeping you in the first district."

Lu Xiang had to admit that his "old friend" helped Song Lan again this time.

Huanggu sacrificed himself every time, bringing great convenience to Song Lan's life, "If it hadn't been for yesterday, they were planning to transfer you to the 'outside world' to work with the dispatch department to deal with the problem of the resistance. .”

"This is different from the content on the transfer order."

"It's different, but this is the council."

Lu Xiang shrugged, "The contents of the transfer order are the personal opinions of the Council Chairman, but his personal opinions cannot yet influence the entire Council. He only has the power to make final decisions when the two sides are deadlocked on certain issues. Decision-making, if an issue passes overwhelmingly, there’s nothing he can do about it.”

During the previous few meetings, she was really worried about Song Lan.

If someone really puts forward a proposal to transfer H1 to the "outside world" and it is finally passed unanimously, then according to the process of the council, the chairman of the council really can't stop the outcome of the meeting discussion.

"It's useless. If they really pass the issue, I have one last resort."

"Resign?"

"Of course not, I am carrying a loan now!"

Song Lan was serious in his words. The housing prices in the first district were not as good as those in the seventeenth district. It was not an exaggeration to say that an inch of land cost a lot. But he had only been transferred to the first district a few days ago and he didn't even get his first month's salary. Get it.

However, due to his understanding of the Council, he did consider the possibility that the other party would not abide by the agreement.

"If they really pass the proposal in the meeting, a mysterious infectious disease will break out within the H1 department. The symptoms will be headaches and abdominal pain that are so severe that they cannot work normally."

A smart migrant worker is always prepared for a rainy day.

Song Lan has described the specific symptoms of the disease to all H1 members in the department's internal meeting, and will ensure that everyone will adopt the same statement.

"Do you think the Council will believe it?"

"They have to believe it even if they don't believe it."

"Don't forget, Hogg-Foster is now a man in our department."

"Hogg? It's hard for his vote to play a role in an issue passed unanimously."

"indeed so."

Song Lan smiled slightly and said confidently, "But he has privately contacted the director of a large prosthetic hospital in the first district, and will prepare a complete set of diagnostic results for us by then."

Small theater its three hundred and fourteen:

A certain day of a certain year, a certain day, a Saturday, in the morning

"real or fake?"

Song Lan was shocked by Lu Xiang's answer. He thought that he was outrageous enough before, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiang was even more outrageous than him.

"real."

“Don’t Daystar have education in this area?”

He felt that his ignorance of these could be attributed to the fact that he had not read enough books. After all, he did not go to school seriously in the past, but Lu Xiang was a serious graduate from a prestigious school, and Daystar's teaching staff was ranked among the best in the entire coalition government. Can be ranked in the top five.

"Now that I think about it, there seems to be some."

Lu Xiang said thoughtfully, "When I was in high school, the school held a "Physical Health Class", but I didn't go because there were no credits."

When she was at Daystar, she was an out-and-out "bounty hunter". She did not participate in any courses or projects that did not have credits or involved college funds. She spent all her limited time on the cutting edge. This was her secret to becoming the top student. .

But now that the old incident was brought up again, she suddenly realized, "No wonder there are so many people actively participating in that course without credits!"

Everything has gains and losses. She gained credits and scholarships, while her classmates gained happiness.

"Let's not talk about this topic anymore!"

Lu Xiang bit off half of the fries as if to vent his anger.

"Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Not angry!"

Lu Xiang sped up his eating speed, his cheeks stuffed full of lunch, "I regret it, I feel like I've missed out on a lot of valuable knowledge!"
