Once, I wanted to be a good person

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Nan Yi put away her whimsical ideas and promptly executed the tasks Fang Ze had given her. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Half an hour later, in the conference room, Fang Ze met the twenty or so people under his command.

The training office, although not very powerful, was involved in plentiful affairs, making it the office with the second highest number of people in the Personnel Department.

The one with the most people was the Selection Office.

They were responsible for selecting Reserve Commissioners for various cities under Emerald City's jurisdiction and different departments, necessitating an even larger staff.

In the training office, besides Fang Ze the chief officer, there were two first-level commissioners, five second-level commissioners, and the rest were regular third and fourth-level commissioners and interns.

These people were mainly responsible for various training-related work of the Security Bureau including everything else associated with the training center, from feeding and lodging to examination and all the daily operations except teaching.

Strictly speaking, the instructors at the training center also belonged to the training office and were managed by Fang Ze.

But just like what Zhuang Bo said to him on his first day on the job at the training center, the instructors held a somewhat special status and identity within the Security Bureau.

Moreover, some had been teaching for so long their positions were equivalent to a department head, so generally, the Personnel Department did not manage the instructors, letting them manage themselves instead.

After getting to know his colleagues in the office, Fang Ze split them into two groups, assigning them different tasks.

The first group's task was to assist the instructors in conducting the pre-exams for this batch of students.

The previous afternoon, Fang Ze had already communicated with the instructors about today's exam questions and the related processes.

And he had Master and Qing Ya primarily responsible for this exam.

So, when these commissioners went there, they were mainly assisting, making their work relatively easy.

The second group's task was to survey various departments to gather data on commissioners whose strength hadn't changed for many years hence weren't promoted, and commissioners who had recently been promoted or advanced in position, recording the relevant information.

Fang Ze planned to directly recruit them seamlessly after Shen Yayun helped him apply for the formal commissioner training, and execute his "mud-slinging" plan with them.

After arranging these two tasks, Fang Ze of course wasn't idle himself.

He still had the most important thing to do today: find a way to gather 800 of Bai Ling's exclusive credit points to obtain the permission to "borrow" the Black Panther ability.

With this thought, Fang Ze dismissed the meeting, and after having Nan Yi and the other two trusted colleagues from the Personnel Department supervise the two groups of commissioners to complete their tasks, he casually went to find Bai Ling...

Meanwhile.

In Bai Zhi's office.

Bai Zhi was having a chat with a beautiful middle-aged woman.

The woman appeared to be in her forties. With a melon-seed face, refined features, faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and a gentle smile on her face, one could tell that she must have been a very beautiful girl in her youth.

Their relationship was obviously very good, with Bai Zhi even showing a rare girlish demeanor in front of her.

"Lady Jin, how did you come so quickly?"

"I only messaged my dad last night, and now, here you are."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lady Jin fondly scraped her nose and then said, "It's because I was worried about you."

"Your dad contacted me early this morning, explained the situation to me, and I rushed over right away."

Hearing Lady Jin's words, Bai Zhi, who had deceived her family, felt a bit embarrassed.

She coughed and then said, "Well... there wasn't really such a rush."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lady Jin gently stroked her head and countered, "How could there not be a rush?"

"Silly child."

"You are young—you do not know Jiang Cheng."

"I have watched Jiang Cheng grow up since he was little."

"That boy, full of cunning, malicious in nature, never had a bottom line in his actions."

"If he had his sights set on you, you would be in great danger."

Seeing how much Lady Jin cared, Bai Zhi couldn't bear to keep her in the dark any longer.

She carefully looked at Lady Jin, then whispered, "Lady Jin, actually... Jiang Cheng is not planning to make a move on me."

"He has his sights set on someone else."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lady Jin frowned slightly, waiting for Bai Zhi's explanation.

Bai Zhi, like a child who had done something wrong, then quietly explained the whole situation.

When Lady Jin heard that Bai Zhi had tricked her there to protect a man's safety, her expression turned from sunny to overcast, and she scolded, "Nonsense!"

She looked at Bai Zhi seriously, and said,

"Do you know how important our tasks at the Yang Transformation level normally are?"

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't possibly leave so many matters behind to rush over and handle this."

"Moreover... since Jiang Cheng has decided to use Yang Transformation-level experts against that Fang Ze, it shows his firm determination."

"The Jiang Family only has so many Yang Transformation-level experts. He's made such a big decision—if you obstruct him, it's equivalent to making a serious enemy."

"Our family's situation in Xida State isn't very optimistic."

"The Commoner Faction has been squeezing our space. If we make an enemy of the Bai Family as well, our situation would become even more difficult."
