A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

Chapter 136 The first day at work



Chapter 136 The first day at work

The Demon Suppression Bureau is on the fourth floor.

The three of them came out of the elevator and found that this floor was quite lively with people coming and going.

Walk forward step by step and find the room of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"Redology Research Bureau."

"Folklore Research Bureau."

"Prehistoric Creatures Bureau."

……

Looking at the pile of bureau doors, Wencai suddenly felt something was wrong.

"You've been fooled. They are all sinecure positions. This Demon Suppression Bureau is not the one in the fairy tale novels."

Birds of a feather flock together; you can tell the master by looking at his neighbors.

If it were the Demon Suppression Bureau in the fantasy novels, it would be an important national bureau similar to the Electricity Bureau and the Tobacco Bureau.

The Demon Suppression Bureau of the Civil Affairs Bureau is just an empty position with no real power.

It is common in the national government to collect salaries without doing any work and to buy and sell official positions!

Generally, these honorary positions are sold by the higher-ups for money.

Official positions cannot be sold randomly. Important departments, such as the Ministry of Transport, should not be given to playboys or brothers-in-law.

If we let them give random commands and disrupt Shanghai's traffic, we will be held responsible.

Whether it's research on the Dream of the Red Chamber, flower arrangement, folk customs, etc., it's harmless to do whatever you want.

At most, they will misinterpret the Dream of the Red Chamber and come up with stupid things like Lin Daiyu pulling out the weeping willow trees.

Or do flower arrangement, cook orchids and cut leeks.

No matter how messed up these things are, they cannot shake the foundation of the country.

Finally found the location of the Demon Suppression Bureau, it was a pitifully small room.

There are five tables in such a small room.

The small space made it difficult for Wencai to turn around.

Wencai found a seat in the middle and sat down, saying, "I've been fooled. The director is just a commander without any troops. There is nothing to do."

Zuo Shuangtao smiled: "How much money did you spend to buy an official position? Now you have lost all your money. A director can be accompanied by a section chief and three clerks. I advise you to sell some positions quickly to recover the cost, and then resign."

As long as Wencai resigns, Zuo Shuangtao will have completed his mission and can return to Nanjing to wait for orders.

Hearing Zuo Shuangtao's mocking words, Liang Runsheng angrily said, "What are you talking about, little girl? Do you know what the boss does? When our boss stamps his feet, the whole of Shanghai will tremble. Boss, in my opinion, you don't need to come to work in the future. Just hang up an empty position for the sake of name."

Wencai smiled and said, "Runsheng, you can go through the formalities and join the Demon Suppression Bureau as a clerk by taking a resume."

"Boss, this... I'm doing pretty well in Sihai now, why don't you move here..."

Sihai had a salary of 100 yuan, but here I only get 20 yuan as a sinecure, and my salary is often delayed.

When Liang Runsheng came here, he was reduced from a white-collar worker to a loser.

"The salary at Sihai will not be reduced by a cent."

"thank you boss!"

Liang Runsheng happily went to the Personnel Bureau to submit his resume.

"Shuangtao, you just arrived in Shanghai, right? Where do you live now? Do you want me to arrange a place for you to stay?"

Wencai asked casually.

"I've been given a room upstairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zuo Shuangtao concealed it.

There are indeed rooms up there, and it's a nice, elegant little Western-style building, right near the government building.

This house belongs to Wencai, and can be considered a reward from above to Wencai.

According to regulations, Zuo Shuangtao is Wencai's secretary in public, so the two have to live together.

Most spy films have this strange setting, where a man and a woman must pretend to be a couple or a lover.

However, Zuo Shuangtao didn't want to live with this old weirdo with a toilet head, so he kept it a secret.

Wencai thought it was probably the kind of dormitory assigned by his unit in his previous life, so he didn’t think much about it and let the matter pass.

This matter was mainly blamed on Old Wu, so Old Wu didn't want to have too much contact with Wencai.

Although Wencai was very generous, Old Wu knew that he was a man with evil powers.

If you are in a bad mood and use evil magic to make yourself neither alive nor dead, that would be the end of you.

He recently read a report by Director Kang, which said that Wencai also knew a kind of witchcraft. If the person who was poisoned did not obey, the poisonous worms would eat his brain alive.

After reading this report, Old Wu felt a little regretful. He wondered why he dared to ask for a bribe from this person a few days ago.

If he had done this to me, his life would be over.

Even if it means eating dog shit, you have to eat it.

Therefore, Old Wu would avoid contact with Wencai if possible.

So when Lian Wencai took office, he did not show up to take over.

If Old Wu came today, the little beauty Zuo Shuangtao would have a hard time at night.

"Congratulations, congratulations. May I ask if you are the new director? I am Ma Baoguo, the director of the Chinese Wushu Bureau. May I ask your name? What is this new bureau?"

An old man in his sixties, wearing light clothes and shorts, came to visit, turning a walnut in his hand.

"Serve the country, Master Ma of the Lightning Five Whips."

Wencai looked at this person and suddenly he thought of a great man from later generations.

"I dare not. My name is not worth mentioning."

Ma Baoguo was modest for a moment.

"I'm Xu Wencai, Director of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

"Zhenmo, I think you are too weak. Learn a few whip moves from me someday. It's not peaceful outside right now. You need to learn some martial arts to protect yourself."

"Of course, Master Ma, I will definitely learn a few moves from you when I have time."

After Wencai responded with a few words, Ma Baoguo left the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Another man with a slicked-back hair, who looked somewhat similar to Xu Wenqiang, appeared.

"I am Gao Jin, the director of the Chinese Gambling Bureau. May I know your name? Which bureau are you from?"

Takakikata said as he took out a piece of dark chocolate and ate it.

"I am Xu Wencai, Director of the Demon Suppression Bureau."

"Would you like to gamble?"

Gao Jinyi was so excited that he took out a handful of playing cards from his pocket and shuffled them in his hand using the long dragon shuffle method.

Wencai saw out of the corner of his eye that the playing cards were made into a long dragon using glue.

"Not so good. It's work time. It's work time."

Wencai rejected Gao Jin's suggestion to take a gamble.

Going to work means going to work. As an official of the Republic of China, he would never play Landlord or Mahjong at work.

This is Wencai’s bottom line as a human being.

"You look so honest that you definitely don't know how to play cards. If a man doesn't know how to play a few cards, he won't be able to get ahead in the officialdom. I'll teach you some gambling tricks someday."

"Of course, of course, I will learn well from Master Gao."

After saying that, Gao Jin left the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Gao Jin and Ma Baoguo's bureaus are located on the left and right of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and they can be considered Wencai's neighbors.
