The Witch's Taste

Chapter 28
While Chen Ziang and Tsukimiya Suzuna were drinking in the izakaya, Countermeasures Section [-] was almost overwhelmed with work.

Currently, there are seven active operators in Section [-], including section leader Takahashi Junsuke.Considering that Tsukimiya Suzuna has not been on duty independently, and the section chief is more concerned with management and procedures, in fact there are only five people who really have the ability to handle cases.

The abilities of these five people are not the same. Among them, Chen Ziang's qualifications are ranked second, and his ability is even better than the deputy head of the class, Zuo Muken, and is the best in the whole class.

Therefore, he usually takes the 30% of the most difficult cases first, and the remaining 70% is distributed by the other four.

Now that Chen Ziang was suspended, the 30% of the cases were shared among the remaining four people. This caused a big problem—it directly increased the total working hours of everyone to more than 12 hours.

There is no day off, no lunch break, and even the meal time is ruthlessly compressed.

There are two choices before the operators of the sixth class: one is to die from overwork, and the other is to have an accident.

The head of the section, Takahashi Junsuke, couldn't sit still again, and ran to the office of Baba Yongjian to harass the director.

"So why is there a shortage of manpower?" Bachang Yongjian asked in a deep voice, "If you can't finish the work without one person, it means that there is something wrong with your original personnel structure."

Takahashi Junsuke really wanted to scold her, so he could only seriously explain to Baba Yongjian:
"Manpower replenishment has always been a problem, because our class has very high requirements for recruiting operators, and we must have an in-depth understanding of the mysterious side before entering the job, so talents who meet the requirements are very scarce."

"Have you tried post-employment training?" Baba Yongjian gave guidance, "The requirements for the knowledge assessment of the mysterious side are relaxed. Recruit people first, and then gradually train them later."

Takahashi Junsuke: ……………

The staff who specialize in dealing with the mysterious side mutation have actually relaxed the requirements for the knowledge assessment of the mysterious side. Would you like to hear what you are talking about?
Recruiting a barber doesn't mean you don't know how to cut hair, right? It's so smart!

"You try it first." Bachang Yongjian said enthusiastically, "I feel that the cadres under your command are relying on the current situation of scarcity of manpower, thinking that the classroom cannot do without him, so they are defiant, subordinates commit crimes, and are disorganized and undisciplined." , this situation must be rectified!"

"As long as the talent training mechanism can be smoothed out, we will immediately start to rectify the workplace order in the follow-up, and we must kill this unhealthy trend!"

Takahashi Junsuke was completely desperate, so he could only respond reluctantly.

The problem now is that the entire sixth class has been running continuously, and everyone is too busy, and the director is still paying attention to "evil tendencies" and "talent training", but he doesn't mention the matter of getting Chen Ziang back to his original post!

If this continues, there will definitely be a big mess!
But he understands the character of his old boss better, and knows that this is an out-and-out bureaucratic thinking of the island people, that is, "if there is nothing to do, mess around, throw the pot away if something goes wrong, bow when the pot is fried, and resign if it doesn't work."

To put it bluntly, there is no accident yet, so the other party absolutely does not know the pain.

Returning to the office with a gloomy face, the deputy head, Ken Sagi, hurried over and asked:
"How about it, did you let go?"

Takahashi Junsuke shook his head.

Knowing that the section chief's persuasion failed again, everyone didn't even have the strength to scold "the big idiot of the racecourse", and just dealt with the affairs at hand lifelessly.

On the other side, the dinner at the izakaya was over, and everyone went out one after another.

Because his partner is Suzuna Tsukimiya, Chen Ziang was given a few extra glasses of sake by his warm and friendly colleagues, and he is currently in a slightly tipsy state.

The alcohol content of the sake is very low, so it won't be too much, but Tsukimiya Suzuna insisted that he was drunk and had to send him home, which made the male colleagues jealous.

"Do it well." Ashiya Yu came out with a briefcase, and patted Chen Ziang on the shoulder, "Don't have psychological pressure, I will restrain the others."

Obviously, the boss is not unaware of everyone's faint jealousy.

The location of the izakaya was not far away, so Chen Ziang walked home, and Tsukimiya Suzuna walked beside him, lovingly holding his arm as if helping an old man with limited mobility.

"It's okay." Chen Ziang waved his hand and said, "I'm not drunk, so don't help me."

"Senior, drunk men always say that they are not drunk." Tsukimiya Suzuna refused to let go, "Why don't I test your sobriety by taking a quiz?"

"You take the test!" Chen Ziang said straightforwardly.

"I have two lipsticks here." Tsukimiya Suzuna took out two lipsticks with the same packaging from her bag, and pulled off the caps, "Which one is darker?"

Chen Ziang:? ? ?

Isn't it the exact same color?
He tried hard to distinguish the color difference between the two lipsticks by the light of the street lamp:
"I think... well, the one on the left seems to be a bit deeper..."

"Hmm, are you sure?" Tsukimiya Suzuna showed a playful and mysterious smile.

"... Forget it, let's go home." Chen Ziang finally surrendered.

The two were walking by the dam of the Tone River when they happened to meet a neighbor's family who came out for a walk.

"It's Mr. Chen."

"Good evening, Mr. Ogawa, Mrs. Ogawa."

"Is this your girlfriend? She's so beautiful~"

"No, it's my colleague."

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry, after all, you look so good together..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone said goodbye and left.

Yuegong Suzuna was in a good mood, and said to Chen Ziang with a smile:
"Senior, the neighbor's wife praised me for being beautiful!"

Chen Ziang looked at her face silently, thinking that it was really not a compliment, but telling the truth.

Before that, I never even dared to imagine that I could walk with such a beautiful girl.

only……

"Moon Palace." He said softly.

"What's wrong, senior?" Tsukimiya Suzuna blinked.

"I got suspended after arguing with the leader." Chen Ziang said slowly, "Don't do this kind of thing again."

Tsukimiya Suzuna was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked at the clear Tone River:

"But, it was the senior who quarreled with the leader first, didn't he?"

"I have no choice." Chen Ziang explained, "The Mandala Sword is very important to me..."

"Then senior is not important to me?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked suddenly.

Her voice was not high, but Chen Ziang was instantly overwhelmed by these words, and was speechless for a while.

It wasn't until the lights in the windows of the nearby residents suddenly went out that Chen Ziang finally came to his senses.

"Why?" He asked with some difficulty, "Yuegong, I don't know why you..."

The voice of the words came to an abrupt end in her throat, because at some point, Yuegong Lingna turned around and walked forward, hugging him gently.

She stood on tiptoe vigorously, leaned close to Chen Ziang's ear, and said in a clear and crisp voice:

"senior."

"Do you believe that someone can trap another person for a lifetime with just one sentence...just one sentence?"

Before Chen Ziang could answer, Yuegong Lingna let go of him, and turned around lightly.

"I believe it." She opened her arms staggeringly, like a child playing on a horizontal bar, walking on the white paint line on the side of the road, "So don't ask me why."

"Be careful!" Chen Ziang really wanted to ask her "what is that sentence?", but on the right side of the paint line was the steep grassland of the river dam, so he had to remind her quickly.

Yue Gong Ling Nai's body suddenly swayed to the right, so frightened that Chen Zi'ang rushed forward in three steps at a time, and supported the tottering girl.

"Hahahahahahaha!" She supported Chen Ziang's arm, managed to stabilize her body, and then laughed until tears came out.

"I think you are the one who is really drunk." Chen Ziang complained helplessly.

"Yeah, I'm drunk, senior, please carry me home." Tsukimiya Suzuna hugged his arm with her backhand, coquettishly.

"Leave me alone!"
