Nono from another world

Chapter 131 The Conflict Before the Prom
James led a group of people to walk up the steps. He originally thought that the three of them, Nuonuo, would come over to greet him immediately after seeing him, but to his surprise, the three of them didn't seem to do so. With this thought, he still stood quietly on the steps, but stared straight at him with both eyes.

James frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.He originally thought that no matter how dissatisfied the people sent by the polar branch, they would not be too obvious. After all, no matter in terms of rank or other aspects, the branch is the key to their mission this time.

But the performance of the three of them, Nuonuo, was really surprising. Instead of deliberately trying to please themselves, they even acted indifferent, as if they didn't care about them at all.

This feeling of being ignored made James very unhappy, but he knew that now is not the time to make troubles for a momentary dispute, especially now that the real protagonist has not yet appeared... So James decided to suppress the anger in his heart forcibly. Didn't notice the three people on the steps.

But what surprised James was that although he had no intention of causing trouble, those subordinates around him quit. These people thought that the people from the three polar branches were too rude to the deputy director of their own branch. up.

"This is the man from the imperial capital? He is really polite. When he saw the deputy head of the branch, he didn't even say hello. He really regarded himself as an onion!" The one next to James looked like he was only in his 20s. The [-]-year-old young man looked at the three people on the steps coldly and said in a mocking tone.

Nuonuo glanced at the man, but didn't take his words to heart.As for Liuli and Nim, they didn't notice him at all, they just stared at James in front of the crowd, thinking about how to deal with the vice-minister of the Western Division.

Seeing the three people as if they didn't see him, the young man completely ignored him, and his complexion suddenly became even more ugly. Even the complexions of the other people around James also became ugly at this time.

"Hey, are you dumb?! Didn't you hear me talking to you?! If you can't speak, hurry up and don't waste our time!" The young man shouted angrily, completely unaware of his words. How many people's attention will be attracted by a shout.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Nuonuo and the three of them, wanting to see what happened.

From the very beginning when he saw James walking in, Nuonuo had been thinking about how to deal with the No. [-] person in the Western Division, asking him to hand over information about the mines in Xi'an District, and sending them to Xi'an District go.

Hearing this sentence suddenly at this time, Nuonuo reacted, frowned suddenly, glanced at the young man in front of him, then his eyes fell on his chest, and said with a sneer: "What are you? The deputy minister hasn't spoken yet, how can you, a mere D-level investigator, have the qualifications to speak, and even dare to yell at your superiors in public?!"

"You!" The young man's face instantly turned ferocious, but he couldn't refute Nuonuo.

Indeed, even if Nuonuo and the others came from places like the Polar Branch, Liuli is an A-level investigator after all. In terms of rank, he, a D-level investigator, even took the initiative to say hello to her!

But... But it's fine if Liuli or Nim said this sentence, this Nuonuo is not even an official investigator, so why scold him in public? !
Thinking of this, the young man took a step forward, wanting to say something.But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by someone reaching out.

"Enough, Abby, what does it look like to yell?!" James looked at him and said coldly.

Abby took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but in the end she held it back and took a step back.

"The three of you have come from a long way. It must have been a hard journey, right?" James turned his head, looked at the three of Nuonuo, and asked.

Having said that, his tone was not friendly at all, and even faintly condescending.

"So that's it. These three girls are the investigators sent by the Investigation Bureau to deal with the mine."

James didn't deliberately lower his voice. Everyone around heard his words, and immediately noticed the three of them, Nuonuo, and began to discuss in a low voice.

As powerful people in the west, these people can easily learn about the identities of the three Nuonuo and their purpose of coming here through various channels.

If people from other branches come over, no matter how bad they are, as long as they don't make any big mistakes, with the support and help of the branch, the matter in Xi'an District should be able to barely resolve this time.

But the polar branch is different. This is the famous crane tail branch, the weakest one in the investigation bureau.No matter how much the people in the branch help them, they probably won't be able to solve the problem in Xi'an District, right?

Most people expressed that they didn't understand this, and they didn't understand why the Bureau of Investigation would send such a team over. Isn't it obvious that they didn't take the matter of Xi'an District to heart?
Although a small number of people had heard about Nuonuo and the others going to the mine to save people, these people didn't take it seriously.After all, there were people from the Yinyue branch at that time, who knew that they didn't use the power of the Yinyue branch?
"What is the Bureau of Investigation sending people from the polar branch over here for? Don't they worry that the mines in Xi'an District will become worse and worse as a result?"

"And that red-haired girl, I heard that she is not an official investigator yet, and her current identity is only an intern logistics of the Polar Branch. I don't know why the investigation bureau sent such a person here, as cannon fodder?"

"Perhaps the Bureau of Investigation has other plans. It is said that the branch chief of the Polar Branch has an inexplicable relationship with the innovators... This is the west. Who knows if the Bureau of Investigation wants to use this to do something."

"No, I haven't heard of any actions by the innovators recently... Besides, what can the three of them do? I didn't say that, maybe they can't even see the shadow of the innovators, right?"

Hearing some low-pitched discussions around him and realizing that the eyes with various meanings were focused on himself or Liuli and the others, Nuonuo didn't feel any disturbance in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he said politely to James: "I've heard about Deputy Minister James' name for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary. I just don't know why Deputy Minister James invited us here, what's the matter?"

James also pulled out a smile, and said with a smirk: "You can just treat it as a clean-up for you. After all, a visitor is a guest, and it is not good to neglect you."

"I don't think it's necessary to pick up the wind and wash the dust." Liuli frowned, and said with some displeasure, "We have business to do this time, if possible, we hope that you, the deputy minister, can arrange people to send us to Go to Xi'an District. If there is no manpower, at least tell us the situation there."

Hearing this, James still didn't have much expression on his face, but said flatly: "We will do this naturally, but we must pay attention to a method in everything. Although Dong'an District and Xi'an District belong to the west, but The situation on both sides is completely different. In addition, the mine in Xi’an District has just undergone a change, and there are many things that we have not investigated clearly. It is really inappropriate for you to rush in at this time."

Speaking of this, James paused, and looked at Nuonuo meaningfully: "I know that you have a time limit, but you have already missed one day anyway, so it's okay to delay another day, right? After the dance, I will Let someone take you to understand the situation in Xi'an District in detail, and it's not too late to go to Xi'an District after that, right? Or, do you think that with your ability, there is no way to complete the task in three days?"

What James said was extremely plain, but Nuonuo and the others felt a strong sense of irony from it.Obviously, the deputy head of the branch in front of them didn't think they were qualified for this task at all.

Because in his eyes, the abilities of the three of them are not enough.Since the ability is not enough, whether it is five days or three days, it will not affect the final result.

When the surrounding nobles understood this, they all laughed immediately.But what made these people uncomfortable was that the three of Nuonuo didn't seem to be angry after hearing this, and they still stared at James calmly, as if they didn't understand James' hint.

Nuonuo and the others didn't notice the strange eyes of these people, but the thoughts of the three were completely different.

Nuonuo is because she has been surrounded by all kinds of strange eyes since she first emerged, and she is indeed not angry because of James' words. After all, what the deputy minister said is also true. It is indeed difficult for the few of them to complete such a task alone.
