The Sword Saint of Arknights [MTL/Machine Translation]

Chapter 13 | The Actions of the Two Individuals

"Oh?"

Hearing Chen's words, the director of the personnel department showed a surprised expression.

He was naturally very familiar with the way the person in front of him operated. After all, she had spent time in this department after returning from Victoria and joining the Guard Bureau.

It was during that time that he got to know this young officer. Naturally, at this moment, he would show such an expression.

"Who exactly is worth what you're doing this for?"

Chen is someone who has the most stringent attitude towards her subordinates, herself, and others. That's why it made sense for other chief inspectors to submit such a request, but it was somewhat puzzling for her to do so.

After all, it did not fit her style of operation.

"The Guard Bureau should not bury any talent; I'm just giving him a chance."

"Is that so..."

The office director put down his teacup, then opened the personnel file attached by Chen under the document.

He was well aware that the person's recommendation would hardly face any obstacles later on, given her special status. However, as the director of the personnel department of the Lungmen Guard Bureau and the first step in the entire process, he had to do a good job of vetting. If this person did not meet the needs of the Guard Bureau, he would certainly not sign and stamp his approval, even if the recommender was a relative of the person.

This was his responsibility, and it was something he had to do. In his more than ten years in office, there had never been a case where the recommended person did not match the description in the documents, and he must maintain this going forward.

"An auxiliary police officer..."

Looking at the file, the director sighed slightly. Just as he thought, Chen was not using this right for personal gain. Aside from the last operation, which could not be considered a success, the two had never had any interaction.

One was a rising star officer of the Guard Bureau, and the other had been an auxiliary police instructor for nearly five years. If they followed the normal trajectory of life, the two would not have any intersection.

After all, Chen could be said to have unlimited potential, while Roy might very well stop here in his life.

After flipping through the last page, the director picked up a pen and signed his name on the document, also stamping the personnel department's seal.

Then, aside from the file records that had to be retained, the remaining documents were handed back to Chen. As for asking whether this young man named Roy was willing... in Lungmen, no one would refuse such a job that was not only respectable but also had a certain social status.

"The one on duty this week is that old guy Chen Shouchun; you go find him directly."

With that, the director shifted his gaze back to the computer screen in front of him.

Chen did not linger. After taking the documents, she left the personnel office and headed towards the security department of the Guard Bureau...

A few minutes later, at the entrance of the personnel office.

Knock knock knock...

Knock knock knock...

Knock knock knock...

Standing at the office door, Roy knocked on the door, and at that moment, the director sitting on the other side of the desk cast his gaze over.

"Come in."

After seeing it was Roy, he spoke directly, and at the same time, he pulled out the freshly printed document from the printer.

He had been planning to have someone contact Roy, but instead, Roy came directly here. It was clear that Chen had come prepared.

He was quite pleased with this, as it saved a lot of trouble.

"Hello, director, I'm here to submit my resignation."

"Don't worry... wait, you're resigning?!"

The director, who had been ready to hand the document to Roy, stopped his action and looked at Roy with a surprised expression.

This sudden turn of events caught him off guard, and his guess was wrong. Perhaps Chen had never mentioned this matter to this guy!

"That's right, this is the application."

With that, Roy placed the already prepared application in front of the director, then sat on this side of the desk to wait.

As usual, the office director picked up the resignation application, then opened it and pretended to read the contents.

However, he did not read it; he was merely thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

Since he had already signed and stamped, the young man's employment was a done deal. If he signed off on his resignation according to the auxiliary police's resignation regulations, it would not only be difficult to explain to Chen, but it might also add a black mark in front of the boss. If such a thing happened, he might lose his chance for promotion and even be transferred to some unpopular departments.

Although he was serious about his work, he still wanted to reach higher positions, and he could not let this matter cause him to lose his political future.

With that in mind, he opened the folder for resignation-related documents and clicked on the police officer's resignation application form, zhaoshuyuan.com. In the past, as long as the personnel department signed and stamped, the auxiliary police could complete the resignation process, but he dared not do so for the person in front of him.

After filling in Roy's information, he printed out the police officer's resignation application form and handed it to Roy.

"Take this form to the director."

"Aren't auxiliary police resignations only subject to the approval of the personnel department?"

"The rules have changed."

With that, the personnel department director said no more.

Seeing this, Roy did not linger. He turned and left the personnel office and headed towards the elevator. Since the other party said the rules had changed, Roy could only proceed according to what he said. As for whether the rules had really changed?

That was not something Roy should worry about, nor was it something someone of his level should be concerned about.

On the other side, after almost turning the entire administrative district around and stamping all the relevant departments on the document, Chen arrived at the last office door.

"Chief, I've come to ask for your instructions on a document."

After entering the office, Chen said to the director of the Lungmen Guard Bureau sitting across the desk. Then, she placed the document in front of him and waited for his response.

The director did not rush to sign, even though his subordinates had already reviewed this person's information over and over again.

He opened the browser and entered the Lungmen Guard Bureau's database, then logged in with his account. After entering the name, the person's information appeared before him.

"So, you want Mr. Roy to join your special action team, right, Officer Chen?"

"That's right, chief."
