Chapter 175
"Azhe?" Xi Zhenhai was stunned. He turned to look at Rong Yuan who was following him. Seeing that Rong Yuan seemed a little confused, he felt panic in his heart.
Although Xi Zhenhai knew that Rong Yuan was not the Mu Zhe he knew, after spending some time with him, he had already regarded Rong Yuan as a trustworthy junior, and felt that he was many times better than the original Mu Zhe. In his heart, he hoped that Rong Yuan could continue to live here, and even when Xi Yanxin's health began to improve, he thought about entrusting his daughter's future to Rong Yuan.
At this time, the Supervisory Department came to find Rong Yuan, and Xi Zhenhai subconsciously thought that Rong Yuan's impersonation of Mu Zhe's identity had been discovered.
Does the Supervisory Department suspect Rong Yuan is a spy?
Theoretically, it is understandable that a person with an unknown identity could be a spy, but Xi Zhenhai subconsciously did not want to accept this possibility. He knew that he was nothing in front of the inspector of the Supervision Department, so he could only look at Morrison pleadingly and said, "Captain, Azhe has always been honest and simple, and it is impossible for him to do anything bad. Even if... even if there is some hidden secret, there must be a reason, Captain!"
Captain Morrison looked at him and shook his head without saying anything. However, the two inspectors seemed to be deliberately trying to show goodwill. They looked at them with their eyes moving slightly, as if they smiled, and then said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. Our general manager knows that Mr. Muzhe is very talented, so he specially recruited him to join the Supervision Department."
Xi Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt uncomfortable again.
Although this result is much better than being arrested and sent to the Supervision Department to "assist in the investigation", except for a few people who do whatever it takes for power, fame and gain, in the eyes of most ordinary people, the Supervision Department is not a good place to go. Although the people in the Supervision Department have great power and deterrence, even the ship owners treat the most ordinary inspectors in the Supervision Department politely, but who would want their friend to become a notorious executioner with blood on his hands?
Let’s not talk about anything else. If Rong Yuan joined the Supervisory Department, even if Xi Zhenhai thought that Rong Yuan was the most outstanding young man he knew in terms of personality, appearance and ability, he would never marry his precious daughter to him.
But even if they are unwilling, who can refuse the recruitment of the Supervision Department?
Appreciating you is a favor, if you refuse, it means you don't know what is good for you, and if you don't accept the toast, you will be punished. Your future life may be more difficult than offending the Supervision Department. So if it is an investigation and interrogation, Captain Morrison can still try to help plead for mercy, but since it is a conscription, no one can speak for him.
Of course, Rong Yuan didn't need their help, because joining the Supervisory Department was something he and Todd had discussed before. Even the fact that he "impersonated" Mu Zhe was originally just Mu Teer's mistake, but now in all the information, he is Mu Zhe. The reason why the Supervisory Department's recruitment was delayed for several days was because Todd was dealing with the matter related to his identity.
Therefore, everyone saw Rong Yuan was only slightly stunned, and then nodded without hesitation: "Okay. Uh... are we leaving now?"
The two inspectors were not aware of the relationship between Rong Yuan and Tao De. They were originally tasked with "persuading" Rong Yuan to agree. Now, seeing that he did not resist at all and his expression was not like the two people next to him as if their Supervision Department was a dangerous place, the smile in their eyes became more genuine and their attitude became a little more accommodating.
"You have one day to take care of your affairs. Report to the Supervisory Department headquarters on the 13th floor at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow. The General Manager wants to see you in person."
"Okay, I understand." Rong Yuan said.
A judge corrected him: "Next time, you should say 'yes', 'understood' or 'got it'. Got it?"
" clear."
"Very good." The inspector added, "Contact me when you get to the Supervision Department. You haven't applied for a pass yet, so you can't get in without someone to lead you. Also, remember to be on time!"
"yes."
After the two inspectors from the Supervision Department left, Morrison and Xi Zhenhai looked depressed and no one spoke for a long time.
Rong Yuan looked at Xi Zhenhai inquiringly and said, "Um... do I need to go through the transfer procedures or something?"
Xi Zhenhai looked at Morrison.
Morrison shook his head and said, "No need. The Supervision Department is independent of other departments. All they need to process your transfer is a transfer order."
He hesitated for a moment, then said to Rong Yuan, "I think the reason they transferred you there is related to the person you saved before, but your personality... is not suitable for the Supervisory Department. When you get there, remember to talk less, watch less, do whatever you are told, and don't do unnecessary things. Especially... if you encounter something... if you encounter something you don't like, don't argue with your superiors, don't resist orders, and protecting yourself is the most important thing. Don't complain to the General Manager just because you were forcibly recruited by the Supervisory Department. His appreciation and care for you are an important support for your survival in the Supervisory Department in the future. You must maintain this relationship well."
When he got to this point, he suddenly remembered something and took out an elegantly packaged square box from his office and handed it over, saying, "Here is a pack of native tea leaves from the original planet of Lille that someone gave me. It's not very expensive, but it's a rare good thing here. Many big shots in the upper echelons like to drink this. You can take it to General Todd to thank him for promoting you."
In fact, it was risky for Morrison to say these words to a future inspector of the Inspection Department. If he was not careful, the Inspection Department might accuse him of "making malicious speculations about the Inspection Department", "spreading false rumors", "slandering and insulting colleagues", etc. Even if he had a small position in the maintenance department, he would suffer.
But Morrison's view on Rong Yuan is similar to Xi Zhenhai's. He thinks that putting a simple, kind, and honest young man like "Mu Zhe" into a department like the Supervision Department is not a favor, but a grudge. But when the people above are self-righteous and "good to you", the people at the bottom cannot refuse it whether they are willing or not, and can only try their best to adapt to the change.
Rong Yuan looked at the tea box in his hand, a little surprised, then took it without hesitation, smiled gently, and said: "Okay, thank you Captain. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
Morrison didn't know the weight of Rong Yuan's promise, nor did he expect Rong Yuan to repay him in the future. He just hoped in his heart that Rong Yuan would not become as cruel and cold-blooded as other inspectors of the Supervisory Department.
But sometimes people change not because of their own will, but because the environment forces them to change. Morrison knew that his expectation was actually a luxury, so he didn't say much, just said: "You don't have to do the rest of your work today, hand over to Zhenhai, and go back to pack up early. The Supervision Department should send you a conscription notice soon. The day after tomorrow, not only you, but also your mother will move to the thirteenth floor. Don't think too much, all the family members of Sijian live on the thirteenth floor. This is not for control, but for protection. The Supervision Department has offended too many people. If the family members are allowed to live in ordinary residential areas, they are likely to be retaliated against."
Rong Yuan nodded in agreement. Then he and Xi Zhenhai went to the equipment room together, handed over the exoskeleton armor, the maintenance department's dedicated intelligent assistant, clothing and other miscellaneous items, and then took the personal belongings that were placed in the locker in the locker room.
Rong Yuan knew from the beginning that he would not stay here for long, so he brought very few things with him and his small backpack was not even full.
During this time, Xi Zhenhai kept looking at him hesitantly, with a hesitant look and a hint of subtle fear.
This is how ordinary people view the Supervision Department. Although Rong Yuan had not yet put on the black clothes and armor that symbolized fear and death, and was only wearing ordinary casual clothes, with a calm and quiet expression, looking like a student still studying at school, because of the halo of the future Sijian, Xi Zhenhai felt an invisible pressure just by looking at him, and did not dare to say some ordinary words easily, for fear of leaving hidden dangers for his future.
Before they parted, Xi Zhenhai said hesitantly: "Azhe... no, Rongyuan, after you reach the thirteenth floor, you must remember the captain's words and take good care of yourself. And... and... although you are not Aunt Mu's biological child, she loves you sincerely, you... you will..."
He stuttered and didn't say the rest of the words for a long time, for fear that Rong Yuan would think he was threatening him.
"I know." Rong Yuan said, "I will take good care of her, put her safety first, be cautious, and not let anyone make things difficult for her because of me."
"That's good."
Seeing Rong Yuan's sincere attitude and heartfelt words, Xi Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I knew that you are not that kind of person. After you get there, you must keep in touch!"
Xi Zhenhai regretted saying this casually - letting a Sijian contact him so often, perhaps because he thinks his life is too leisurely?
Rong Yuan saw what he was thinking, smiled, said nothing more, said goodbye and left.
Muter was sitting in the bedroom, stroking an old photo, in a daze. Suddenly, he heard the door open outside, and his lifeless face immediately brightened up.
"Ah... Azhe, you got off work so early today?" Muter wiped his face with his scarf and asked in surprise.
Rong Yuan pulled her to sit down, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid we'll have to move to the thirteenth floor."
"Moving? The thirteenth floor?" Mu Teer was stunned and asked, "Why so sudden? Is it your job..."
"Yes." Rong Yuan said: "You should also know that the headquarters of the Supervision Department is on the thirteenth floor."
"So... you are..."
"I received a call from the Ministry of Supervision today and will be working in the Ministry of Supervision in the future," said Rong Yuan.
On his way back, he had received a notice from the Supervision Department, which not only gave him and Muter a pass to the 13th floor, but also a large sum of resettlement money. In addition, the notice also specifically stated that his residence after arriving at the 13th floor would be arranged by the Supervision Department, and he did not need to pay for it personally.
However, for a traditional woman like Muter, she has gotten used to her current life. Everything around her makes her feel comfortable, including familiar neighbors, the market she often goes to, the scenery she sees every day, and most importantly, the home where she is very familiar with every corner. Although all of this is not the best, it makes her feel most at ease. Any changes in the outside world will make her panic. So even if the living conditions provided by the thirteenth floor are better, she may not be happy.
Therefore, Rong Yuan said, "I have some connections with the Director General of the Supervision Department, so if you don't want to move, you don't have to go. I will ask someone to help arrange it, and no one will affect your life."
"This... this doesn't comply with regulations, right?" Muter said worriedly. She had also heard about the regulations of the Ministry of Supervision in this regard.
"It's okay, I can handle it." Rong Yuan said: "You just need to live according to your wishes."
Muter hesitated for a while, but still held Rong Yuan's hand and said, "I'll go with you."
"But……"
"No need to say more, it's decided." Mu Te'er said firmly in front of Rong Yuan. She straightened her scarf and stood up, saying, "We are moving, right? Let's pack our things now!"
Mu Teer knew that although she could not do much, as long as she was on the thirteenth floor, Rong Yuan's work would be much easier, at least he would not be subjected to unnecessary suspicion and embarrassment.
Even if she could only provide some insignificant help, she hoped that she would be useful rather than an unnecessary burden.
Perhaps, all mothers in the world who care about their children have the same idea.
