Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 282 - 53. Are All the Enemies Licking Me? (10,000 Words for Monthly Pass!)_3

Hearing Zhuang Bo cue himself, Fang Ze knew instantly that the main act was about to start.

He quickly gathered his spirit, nodded and smiled at the commissioners and officers present, and then said, "Hello everyone, my name is Fang Ze, and I am a newly appointed first-level commissioner at the Personnel Department of the Emerald City Security Bureau."

"Please, I request your kind guidance in the future." Discover more stories at novelbuddy

Under Zhuang Bo’s lead, everyone clapped together.

Then, Zhuang Bo glanced around the entire conference room and said, "Yesterday, when Commissioner Fang Ze joined, he mentioned that he has considerable insights into training new trainees."

"Moreover, he has methods that could accelerate the training of trainees."

"So, I took the liberty of assigning him to the training center to manage educational affairs."

"He took over Commissioner Liu’s position."

At this point, he looked at one of the commissioners who had smiled and greeted Fang Ze earlier, nodded slightly, turned to the other three deputy section chiefs, and said, "The reason we are meeting today is to discuss this matter."

"Does anyone have different opinions?"

As soon as he spoke, everyone at the scene instinctively tensed up.

Everyone had guessed that today’s meeting was out of the ordinary.

And indeed, by the end of the meeting, Zhuang Bo revealed his true intentions.

Inside the Security Bureau, there aren’t many secrets.

Fang Ze is a confidant of Bai Zhi, Zhuang Bo is a close associate of Gu Qing, and Deputy Director Zhen Youcai of the training center belongs to the Neutral Faction but doesn’t get along with Zhuang Bo.

So, Zhuang Bo replacing Zhen Youcai’s people with Fang Ze was blatantly obvious.

However, this was also an open strategy.

The Personnel Department is divided into three areas of work: personnel promotion, selection, and training. Each deputy section chief manages one area.

In training, educational affairs hold the most power. All other tasks are supportive.

Fang Ze is not one of Zhen Youcai’s people and is also notoriously sharp within the Security Bureau.

If this part of the work was really handed over to Fang Ze, then Zhen Youcai would virtually be working under Fang Ze.

Therefore, whichever way it went, a fight over this matter was inevitable.

Thinking this, everyone internally noted Zhuang Bo as an old fox, while their eyes turned to Zhen Youcai, keen to see how he would handle the situation.

And indeed, without surprising anyone. Hearing Zhuang Bo say this, Deputy Director Zhen smiled, put down his cup of water, and then slowly said, "Since Director Zhuang has brought up this matter, I would like to say a few words as well."

Everyone held their breath, then quietly awaited his challenge.

But then... they saw Deputy Director Zhen lean forward to look at Fang Ze, and then nod slightly to indicate, "As the head of the training office, I welcome Commissioner Fang Ze’s arrival."

"And then... I also listened to what the director just mentioned."

"About the good training methods that can speed up the training..."

"I think, Commissioner Fang Ze, you need not put so much pressure on yourself."

"After all, you have just joined the job, just do things freely."

"If there are achievements, everyone will definitely notice them."

"And don’t worry if there are any issues. I’ve got your back!"

Having said that, he even patted his chest as if to pledge his determination!

Upon hearing his words, the office fell silent.

Many commissioners exchanged secretive looks, while a few officials were a bit surprised and then bowed their heads to sip their tea.

Though Zhen Youcai said much, the summary was just one word: fawning.

The extent of his deference almost made people doubt whether Fang Ze was his superior, rather than his subordinate.

Even Fang Ze was somewhat surprised.

After all, this wasn’t like the "script."

However, he was quick to respond, and since the other party had given him face, he too smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, for your care. I will definitely seek advice and cause some trouble."

Deputy Director Zhen truly had a very low posture. He couldn’t help but smile and said, "What advice, what trouble. Let’s exchange ideas, just exchange ideas. We should learn from each other."

Everyone else in the office: ...

If they were not familiar with Director Zhen’s personality, they might actually suspect that the other person was an extremely amiable and supportive senior officer....

After Zhen Youcai had expressed his stance, the atmosphere inevitably cooled down.

Fang Ze’s gaze moved among the few senior officers and finally landed on another potential enemy: Shen Yayun.

Whether it was because this woman was particularly sensitive, the moment Fang Ze’s gaze fell on her, she seemed to sense something and looked towards Fang Ze.

The two locked eyes, and Shen Yayun paused for a moment.

Then she lowered her head to think for a moment, coughed once, and said, "I agree with Deputy Director Zhen’s opinion."

"Commissioner Fang Ze is a newcomer after all. He should be supported, not pressured."

At this, she couldn’t help but look at Fang Ze, "So, Commissioner Fang Ze, do your best. If there are achievements, I will report them first thing."

"If there are any other issues..."

She glanced at Zhen Youcai and smiled, "Deputy Director Zhen will back you up."

Zhen Youcai was drinking water at the time, almost choking on her words.

But he managed to swallow it down and then laughed and said, "Yes, yes. I can handle that."

Fang Ze: ......

The office crowd: ....

Seeing the two play off each other, Zhuang Bo couldn’t help but drink his tea one sip after another.

Hence, what was clearly a challenging meeting weirdly turned into a welcome party for Fang Ze....

After the meeting was dismissed, Fang Ze, who had prepared a bunch of retorts and wanted to argue back, furrowed his brows tightly, feeling as if he had been bamboozled.

What happened to the discontent? What happened to jumping out? What happened to the chance to slap a face? Where did it all go?

My enemies are all fawning over me?

Fang Ze was a bit stunned.

And that wasn’t all.

While he was lost in these wild thoughts, Shen Yayun, the only female officer under the suspected Jiang Cheng, proactively came over to Fang Ze and then, smiling, said, "Fang Ze, now that we’re colleagues, we should look out for each other more."

Fang Ze came back to his senses and, not quite knowing how to face this "enemy," laughed awkwardly, "Sure, officer. Please take good care of me in the future."

Shen Yayun continued, "By the way, you seem not too young. Do you have a girlfriend?"

"I oversee the selection process for the Personnel Department. I come into contact with many pretty, well-figured young girls from various departments and families in Emerald City."

"Do you have a type you’re interested in? Should I introduce you?"

Hearing Shen Yayun’s words, Fang Ze casually said, "Is there one who can dance well, with a good figure?"

Shen Yayun was startled, then laughed, "Of course. So you like this type of girl."

"Don’t worry, I will definitely keep an eye out and find someone pretty with a good figure for you."

Fang Ze laughed, "It doesn’t matter if she’s pretty. As long as she can dance and is obedient, that’s good."

Shen Yayun: ???

Being a woman, she keenly felt there was more to what Fang Ze said, but she couldn’t figure it out. However, she still smiled and agreed.

Just then, Zhen Youcai also came over and started chatting with Fang Ze.

Though he suspected his direct superior had ulterior motives, one does not slap a smiling face.

So, Fang Ze also cheerfully engaged in the conversation.

In this way, the scene of the three chatting jovially was noted by many. Although nobody said anything, they still quietly schemed in their minds....

After the meeting, Shen Yayun and Zhen Youcai each returned to their offices.

No sooner had they entered their offices than their subordinates quietly came to their offices.

In Zhen Youcai’s office, a commissioner with cunning eyes, nicknamed "Mouse," cautiously asked Zhen Youcai, "Director Zhen? Is the plan still going smoothly?"

Meanwhile, in Shen Yayun’s office, a petite girl also asked softly, "Officer? How do you feel?"
