Chapter 36: New Mission
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“No way. Captain Li, I am from the district department. You want me to do a mission from the city department?” Lin Zhendong asked in astonishment.
“Hey, there is no difference. We’re all under the Special Protection Department of Zhongyun!” Li Zhi laughed.
“But I have to prepare for the exam! I’m about to take the college entrance examination!” Lin Zhendong was still howling.
“The mission time is likely to be very short. It won’t affect your college entrance examination! Let me tell you, once this mission is completed, it won’t be a problem for you to be promoted to an official! So, what say you!” Li Zhi said.
“I’ll do it!” Lin Zhendong’s eyes immediately lit up.
“I know you would not agree if there’s no benefit! Come to my office directly.” Li Zhi hung up the phone.
Naturally, Lin Zhendong eagerly went out to hail a cab.
Sitting in the car, Lin Zhendong was happily thinking about the promotion to the official rank.
“Haha. Captain Li has wide connections. He already promised I would be promoted immediately after completing the mission. Otherwise, I wouldn’t do it!”
Lin Zhendong smiled. “I’m now a Grade 8 Official. After completing this mission, I’ll be a Grade 7 Official before the college entrance examination. I can get a salary of 3,000 Zhongyun dollars!”
“In the entire city, there isn’t a youngster as powerful as me, right? It’s awesome!”
Lin Zhendong happily went to the city department, showed his work pass to the guard, and then went to Li Zhi’s office according to his memory.
The door was closed. Lin Zhendong looked at the door plate. [Intelligence Department, Captain Li Zhi’s office]
Lin Zhendong was stunned. However, he suddenly realized that he had been promoted to a higher rank when he had found the treasure. Hence, it was normal for the deputy captain, Li Zhi to be promoted to a higher rank.
When Lin Zhendong thought of Li Zhi’s ability, he immediately felt he had followed the right leader.
This way, he could complete a few more missions and advance a few more ranks!
He might even catch up to Uncle Chen before the college entrance examination!
When Lin Zhendong thought about how Uncle Chen was shocked and in disbelief, he knocked on the door with anticipation.
Xiao Bin opened the door. When he saw Lin Zhendong, he immediately shouted happily, “Xiaodong, you’re finally here.”
After entering the room, Lin Zhendong saw that Li Zhi was not in the room.
“Where’s Captain Li?” he asked curiously.
“Big boss just called him over. You have to wait a while. Come, have some tea.” Xiao Bin greeted warmly.
“Brother Xiao, look at your glowing face. Did you rank up?” After Lin Zhendong thanked him, he teased him with a smile.
“Heh. Thanks to your ability, I completed the last mission on the same day. I’m now a Grade 6 Official. The head has already started to help me with the position of team head.” Xiao Bin said with a smile.
Lin Zhendong raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, “Brother Xiao, you’re already a Grade 6 Official, and you’re only now a team head? Shouldn’t it be the vice team captain?”
Xiao Bin laughed. “Do you think this is a district? We are in the city department. There are many people here, and they are of high rank! In a district, a Grade 7 Official can already be a squad leader, but in the city, it’s normal for a Grade 6 Official to be a squad leader.”
When Lin Zhendong heard that, he smacked his lips. He thought of his Uncle Chen, a Grade 4 Official. He was only the team head of a four-man team. It was really a waste of his talent.
However, with his personality, he probably wouldn’t even be able to be a team head when he came to the city department!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhendong could not help but feel that it was the right choice for him to join the district department.
“That’s why I’m promoted to a Grade 6 Official and become a team head because of you!” Xiao Bin couldn’t help but thank him.
“What are you talking about? Isn’t this the result of your hard work? If it’s mud, the higher-ups won’t be able to support it even if they want to, right?” Lin Zhendong quickly waved his hand modestly.
Xiao Bin sighed, “That’s true, but everyone that could work at the Special Protection Department was capable. Every one of us was grinding slowly from the bottom. Besides having a good boss who is willing to promote their subordinates, we also need to encounter influential people to succeed.”
“For example, I would never find the treasure without a benefactor like you in the last mission. Even if I had all kinds of abilities, I wouldn’t have been able to use them to advance, right?”
“Don’t, don’t say that. I’ve also advanced a rank because of this. Everyone will benefit, so let’s not talk about whose credit it is.” Lin Zhendong quickly waved his hand.
“And to be honest, Captain Li is the best. Otherwise, how could we have accepted the mission and improved so easily?”
“Haha! Yes, you’re right!” Xiao Bin gave him a thumbs up.
“Captain Li has also been promoted, right? I saw that the door plate has been changed.” Lin Zhendong asked.
“Yes, he got promoted to the main team position a few days ago.” Xiao Bin nodded.
“Eh? Just mentioned a few days ago? Didn’t we rank up on the day we completed the mission?” Lin Zhendong was curious.
“Rank and position are different. Captain Li’s rank was promoted on the same day. Now, the head is a Grade 3 Official.” Xiao Bin said.
Lin Zhendong nodded in realization. Rank and position were completely different.
Once a person had achieved their rank, they would naturally be promoted.
After all, the promotion was permanent. If someone blocked another person to rank up, they would become a deadly enemy.
But positions were different. The competition was fierce. Even if one changed their boss, the position they worked hard to climb up to would be gone.
Therefore, if Lin Zhendong wanted to be promoted, it was not just about merit and rank. He also needed the support of a backer and a big shot.
Hence, the lower-level personnel pursued increasing their rank. Their rank be with them for a lifetime, and their salary and resources would depend on it.
The two of them chatted for a while. Li Zhi had not returned yet. Lin Zhendong, who had already drunk a few cups of hot tea, could not help but ask, “Brother Xiao, what mission did Captain Li ask me to do this time?”
Xiao Bin did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood up and closed the door that was previously open. Then, he deliberated for a second and said, “I only heard a little about this from the head. It shouldn’t be a matter of our city department, but it’s the jurisdiction of the provincial department.”
“What? Jurisdiction of the provincial department?” Lin Zhendong was shocked at first, but then he was pleasantly surprised. “Captain Li’s connections are wide. He can even get a provincial mission?”
Looking at Lin Zhendong’s bright eyes, Xiao Bin couldn’t help but say, “Tsk, aren’t you afraid that the mission will be too difficult and you won’t be able to complete it? At that time, we’ll be punished by the provincial leaders!”
“Haha, what other mission could Captain Li have called me for? It’s a mission to find treasures! On the contrary, he wouldn’t look for me to kill monsters. I dare to say I’m good at treasure hunting!” Lin Zhendong said proudly.
At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly pushed the door open and said, “That’s right, I’m looking for you for this!”
“Captain Li!”
“Captain Li!”
Lin Zhendong and Xiao Bin immediately stood up to welcome him.
Li Zhi closed the door again and threw a document at Lin Zhendong. “Look, I hope it’s as you said just now. You’re the best at finding treasures!”
