Chapter 27 Partiality
"Sister, why are you putting me on the fire to roast?"

Xie Lingxin quickly caught up with Jin Su.

Jin Su's lips curled up slightly: "What? No confidence?"

Xie Lingxin scratched her head: "Well, it's not that... it's just that the pressure is immense."

"The fastest record for a new employee to be promoted to a permanent position in the Leizhou Environmental Protection Bureau is two months."

Jin Su stopped and stared at him intently: "Since you call me 'sister,' you have to be the best. No matter what it is, if others take two months, you'll only take one month."

"what?"

This woman is a bit too domineering.

"What? You've changed your mind? You don't have to call me."

Xie Lingxin quickly said, "Then let's call it that!"

"You don't need to worry. Since I dare to say it, you're not completely without a chance."

Jin Su said, "It depends on whether you're willing or not."

"what?"

"Let's talk in my office."

After saying that, she took him back to her office.

"sit down."

He casually pointed to a chair and told him to sit down. Before Jin Su could speak, Xie Lingxin couldn't resist leaning over the table.

"Sis, you just sided with me in front of so many people. Aren't you afraid people will say you can't separate public and private matters?"

Jin Su glanced at him and asked curiously, "You're one of my people, so what if I favor you? Why don't you dare let anyone know?"

"..."

Xie Lingxin could only give a thumbs up: "Sister is awesome!"

Especially the phrase "my people," it really resonates with me.

"Stop being poor."

Jin Su glanced at him: "Tell me about what happened today. How do you plan to clean this up?"

"what?"

"What? Didn't you think about the consequences when you insulted Shen Wen?"

Xie Lingxin was dumbfounded: "What consequences? Sister, didn't you say you had a way?"

In fact, he had thought that the worst thing he could do was lose this temporary job.

But Jin Su suddenly made a bold statement on his behalf, so she must have something in mind.

Jin Su remained noncommittal, then suddenly changed the subject: "Did you already have this confidence all along?"

"Ah? What?"

Jin Su just stared at him without saying a word.

Xie Lingxin felt an itch under his gaze and could only awkwardly say, "Sister, actually I..."

He recounted his work deciphering ancient fragments of scripture, and mentioned that he had already deciphered one of the characters.

"So, you're confident you can decipher page 19 of the ancient scripture?"

After listening, Jin Su looked somewhat surprised but not astonished. She didn't ask him why he suddenly had the ability to decipher ancient scriptures, but only asked him how confident he was.

Number 19?
Xie Lingxin recalled the number on the box containing the tattered page.

After a moment's consideration, I said, "About 60% or 70%."

Actually, he's probably at least 90% there.

The remaining 10% is due to unforeseen circumstances.

"Alright, then you don't need to take the risk."

"what?"

adventure?

Jin Su said, "Recently, there have been more and more ghosts in Tonggu Bay. I originally wanted you to be the bait. These ghosts are afraid of people with pure thoughts, but they also like people with strong minds the most."

"In ancient times, scholars cultivated a strong sense of righteousness, and ghosts and gods dared not easily offend them, but they also liked to gravitate towards them. This is the reason."

“Your consciousness is complete and your thoughts are pure, but you are just beginning your cultivation and have no real skills, making you the perfect bait.”

"One ghost costs at least 5 contribution points. If you catch six or seven, you'll be promoted to a regular position."

"Even though you're just bait, you're risking your life, so no one can say anything about it."

Xie Lingxin: "..."

thank you!

So thoughtful!

Jin Su said, "Since you still have this ability, there's no need to take this risk."

“If you are really confident that you can do it, then the bureau will have to prepare and mobilize in advance.”

"what?"

"Sis, aren't you afraid I'll exaggerate?"

The more Xie Lingxin interacted with this older woman, the more she felt like a fool.

She always manages to land precisely where she never expected.

Aren't you afraid of just making empty boasts and wasting your time?
Jin Su did not answer his question.

He just pondered, as if he had already begun to plan how to use this matter to achieve the best effect.

"Did you just log into the mission hall using Old Jiang's account?"

She could easily guess that Xie Lingxin had come into contact with the Mission Hall, which was why she suddenly wanted to decipher the ancient scriptures.

He wasn't officially hired, so he couldn't possibly have an account; only Jiang Daqiu could help him.

Xie Lingxin nodded. Jin Su said, "In that case, you can use Jiang Daqiu's account to accept this task first."

Xie Lingxin guessed what she meant: "Does my sister want me to keep it a secret?"

Jin Su nodded: "A scripture master who can decipher incomplete scriptures would definitely cause a big uproar in Leizhou. It's too early for you."

"If you can decipher the fragments and find the coordinates of the realm, the higher-ups will not object to making an exception for you."

“That’s easy, I haven’t logged out of Uncle Jiang’s account yet.”

Xie Lingxin took out her phone and waved it.

The return of the four sanitation workers' bodies had distracted Jiang Daqiu, and he had momentarily forgotten about it.

Jin Su said, "That's perfect, then we don't need to tell Old Jiang yet."

How many days do you need?

Xie Lingxin considered for a moment: "Ten days?"

Actually, based on the speed at which the first character was deciphered, three or four days should be enough.

"Alright, until then, you should focus on deciphering the ancient texts at the Ancient Texts Management Office. Don't worry about anything else for now."

Jin Su immediately exempted him from the job.

Xie Lingxin felt a surge of joy.

He hasn't done a single day of work since he started working, and now he has at least ten extra days of leave to slack off.

"You go back first."

"By the way, I'll be very busy these next few days, so you might not be able to find me. If you need anything, you can contact Su Li; for matters related to cultivation, contact Bai Ruhui."

"If you have any questions about deciphering ancient scriptures, just ask Lao Jiang. He's very knowledgeable in all sorts of things, and he's quite good at even unorthodox methods."

"Okay, I get it now."

Xie Lingxin wanted to keep talking to this older sister for a while longer, but seeing her busy with her phone, she knew that she was really preparing because of what she had said.

Scratching his head, he realized that slacking off was out of the question; it would be too unethical.

"Then, sister, I'll be going now."

Jin Su waved her hand without even looking up.

Tsk.

After leaving Jin Su's office, Xie Lingxin went straight home.

……

night.

No. 86, 1517.

Xie Lingxin sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the basic visualization techniques and the Mountain-Carrying Posture, when she was once again awakened by a wave of hunger.

"Ugh……"

He opened his eyes and sighed with a touch of melancholy.

When will this cycle of hunger and irregular meals end?
I listened intently for a while.

Nothing much happened tonight.

Why isn't Aunt Xie coming out to pay respects to her late husband?
Her ghostly husband isn't appearing in her dreams asking for food and drink anymore?

Xie Lingxin turned her attention back to her cultivation with some disappointment.

[Basic Concept: 1/1]

【Mountain strength: 0.11/1 (+0.05↑)】

[Sex: 2.16/10 (+0.03↑)]

[Life: 0.04/1 (+0.01↑)]

The progress of carrying the mountain increased by 0.05, and the life force also increased by 0.01.

The progress is actually a little faster than before.

Perhaps it's because I ate enough in the cafeteria today, and I'm full of energy.

The rate of increase in sexual function remained unchanged, rising by only 0.03.

The next day.

When Xie Lingxin returned to work at the Environmental Protection Bureau, she felt that she was being watched more closely.

After the commotion in the cafeteria yesterday, he estimated that he had become "famous".

You don't even need to ask around to know that this "reputation" isn't very good.

After all, Kim So-kwan openly "favored" herself, making no attempt to hide her "connections."

Although many people disliked him, no one asked him to do any work.

Xie Lingxin was happy to have some free time.

We arrived at the ancient management office.

Jiang Daqiu quickly approached with concern: "Xiao Xie, how's it going? Does Team Leader Jin have any way to get you promoted to a permanent position within a month?"

Xie Lingxin nodded.

"I knew it, you're incredibly lucky."

Seeing this, Jiang Daqiu breathed a sigh of relief, then said enviously, "I've never seen Captain Jin protect anyone like this before, and he's even willing to make an exception for you and abuse his power for personal gain... cough!"

"I mean I'll help you with all my heart!"

Xie Lingxin rolled her eyes: "Uncle Jiang, don't talk nonsense. My sister isn't that kind of person."

Jiang Daqiu had an "I understand" expression on his face.

Xie Lingxin was too lazy to argue, so she shut her mouth, took out page number 19 of the ancient scripture from the bookshelf, and began to move forward.
