Although he returned to work, Lu Xin found that there was not much he needed to do.
Zhang Ge and Li Jie had already handled the project he was responsible for very well, and he had fallen behind a lot. Although he could catch up as soon as possible, it would be easy to disrupt their rhythm if he interfered when they were doing well.
As a leader, it is a taboo to dictate the work of subordinates.
Lu Xin understood this very well.
Don't interfere with work, get along well with colleagues, their enthusiasm made Lu Xin a little uncomfortable.
Now, no matter where he went, his colleagues were very friendly. They let him take the water first, let him take the lunch box first, asked him which one he liked first when talking to female colleagues, and even gave him cigarettes first, and praised his ZIPPO for being beautiful.
But this enthusiasm was a little timid, which Lu Xin didn't like.
He didn't like the way his colleagues were hiding from him, so he simply tried to hide from them as much as possible.
With nothing to do, he began to think about how to write his task report.
Chen Jing gave himself three days off, which means that he had to hand in a work report after three days.
This was a headache. It was refreshing when doing the task, but the most headache was to bite the pen and write the report in the end.
…
…
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Xin felt that it was still necessary to distinguish what could be said and what could not be said.
The report was written for the leader to see, whether it was a work report or a task report.
And what was shown to the leader must be true.
So he began to follow this idea, starting from leaving the city with Gecko, tracking the Knights to Blackwater Town, and captured the Knights' puppet ability user Chen Zhong in Blackwater Town, and then found the clues of Qin Ran's hiding through interrogating Chen Zhong.
Then in order to track Qin Ran, he entered Happy Town.
Because of the other party's strong resistance, I had no choice but to eliminate him, and at the same time alarmed the queen of the town.
The queen was terrible, but very reasonable, so I finally took my suitcase and got away safely...
Done!
Lu Xin was very satisfied with this work report!
The focus of the report was on the results, mainly explaining what I did.
As for the specific process, Lu Xin felt it was not so important, so he just passed it over.
It's not like writing a novel!
When writing the monthly work summary, I wouldn't write down the details of how I pretended to be a grandson in front of the customer...
The leader of this company has said many times during the meeting that he wants the result!
...
...
It took Lu Xin more than a day to write a detailed work report and sent it to Han Bing first.
Han Bing had said before that the work report could be shown to her first, and she would give me some advice.
After sending an email to Han Bing on the computer connected to the LAN of Gaoqiang City, Han Bing called back soon and said softly, "I have read your report. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly and in great detail..."
Lu Xin was actually a little uneasy and asked, "How is it?"
"It's very well written!"
Han Bing was very sincere when he praised people: "I will help you polish it and submit it."
"That's good, that's good, sorry for the trouble..."
Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and before Han Bing said the three words "no trouble", he said in advance: "But I have one more thing..."
Han Bing hurriedly said, "You talk, I'm listening."
Lu Xin nodded, and seeing that there were no other colleagues around the stairs, he whispered, "Do you know the 'second stage'?"
"The second stage?"
Han Bing was slightly startled and said, "Is it the second stage of the ability user?"
Lu Xin nodded and said, "It should be."
Han Bing was silent for a while, as if he was reading some materials. After a while, his voice sounded again, and he seemed very calm:
"I know this concept. It is part of the ability development research."
"But I only know a noun. The specific description and explanation of this concept are highly confidential. Now my authority cannot be directly checked. However, if Mr. Shan Bing wants to know, I will apply for it as soon as possible."
"..."
"This little girl is so nice..."
Lu Xin sighed in his heart and said, "Thank you, but don't worry, I'll wait for your call."
"You're welcome. It's all what I should do..."
"Thank you anyway..."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. This time he could rest assured.
After submitting the task report, all that was left was to wait for the corresponding reward to be approved, and then wait for Han Bing to tell him the concept of the "second stage". He had actually seen this name once in the previous materials, but there was no detailed explanation.
Originally, Lu Xin didn't care much about this, but now he needed to figure it out.
Finding out what happened to him has always been his wish.
So he was really curious about the "003" file.
However, my mother rarely asked me for anything. Since she said she would wait until the second stage to see it, I would do so.
Just, if my ability allows, I'd better get there quickly.
…
…
"Did he ask about the concept of the second stage?"
However, Lu Xin didn't know what was happening in another part of his body when he began to relax.
In the Qinggang Main City Research Institute, in Professor Bai's office, Chen Jing, as an assistant, was helping Professor Bai with his research. On the screen next to him was Minister Shen's majestic face. Judging from the background, he seemed to be inspecting something outside the city.
The speakerphone next to him was connected to Mr. Su, who was also concerned about this matter.
"Yes."
Chen Jing nodded and said, "The specific information of the second phase is highly confidential, but this concept is not a secret."
"Many people in the Special Qing Department know about it, so it is normal for him to hear about it."
"..."
"The point is not whether he knows this concept, but we have to determine his true purpose."
Minister Shen said seriously, "I have read his mission report. He is really cunning. He explained everything he did clearly, even including the small matter of firing three shots in Black Water Town and paying a fine of 3,000 yuan..."
"Write so detailed, are you worried that we don't even believe this?"
"Humph, the small matter is explained so clearly, but there is almost no disclosure of how it was done."
"For example, the withdrawal from Happy Town only said that the mysterious creature code-named 'Queen' awakened, and then said that it came out..."
"What? Does he want to tell us that this mysterious creature is very friendly and can get away with it by talking about reason?"
"..."
The more he talked, the more dissatisfied he became, and he even wanted to laugh.
As a military man, this was the most unprofessional mission report he had ever seen.
"He only wanted to tell us what he could do, but he didn't tell us the specific reasons..."
Finally, Minister Shen helped to summarize: "He must have concealed a lot of things!"
"This matter can be seen."
Professor Bai raised his head at this time, looked at the camera, and smiled: "Have you read the report submitted by Gecko?"
"I have read it."
Minister Shen nodded and said: "When asked, he said he knew nothing, and the reimbursement was more ruthless than a single soldier."
Professor Bai smiled and said: "What does this mean?"
Minister Shen frowned: "Does it mean he is not honest?"
"No!"
Professor Bai shook his head and said: "It means they are actually wary."
Without waiting for Minister Shen to answer, he explained with a smile: "In this post-disaster world, they have acquired some abilities that are different from ordinary people, so it is reasonable to be wary. This wariness is also a way of proving that they are the same as us. After all, our eagerness to understand their thoughts and their unwillingness to be understood by us are essentially the same."
Minister Shen frowned slightly and did not answer.
Instead, Mr. Su laughed from the phone next to him: "Brother Bai, what you said is right..."
Then he asked doubtfully: "Do you think we can trust him?"
"It doesn't matter whether we trust him or not!"
Professor Bai smiled and glanced at Chen Jing, saying: "I don't have such a strong gambler mentality, and I won't choose to bet at every turn."
"But what we need to understand is that no one in this world can really trust anyone, but we need to cooperate to survive in this world, so rules are born, and the rules are to give us a foundation for trusting each other."
"..."
In the video, Minister Shen has frowned.
Mr. Su's voice was also silent for a while, and he said: "Then what Mr. Bai meant is..."
"Follow the rules!"
Professor Bai smiled and said: "Through this report, some of my previous performances have changed my view of Danbing. He is a person who is willing to abide by the rules. For example, he has to pay a fine for firing a gun in Blackwater Town... To be honest, in this post-disaster world, people with abilities who are willing to abide by the rules are the luck of ordinary people, and it is worth celebrating with champagne..."
"And for a person who is willing to abide by the rules..."
Professor Bai was silent for a while and said: "The most terrible thing is privilege!"
"Danbing has the capital to ask for privileges from us, but he doesn't, and the most undesirable thing for us..."
His voice became more serious, and he looked at the camera: "It is to exercise privileges on him!"
...
...
In the phone, Mr. Su's voice rang: "So, everything is according to the rules?"
Professor Bai nodded and said: "Follow the rules."
Minister Shen did not refuse, and after a while he said: "Regarding the second stage..."
"Also follow the rules!"
Professor Bai smiled and said: "My suggestion is not to reject him, nor to skip the rules, and directly agree to him."
"After all, whether it is to reject him or to give him the green light directly, it is a privilege and a manifestation of breaking the rules."
"..."
Professor Bai's words surprised Chen Jing in the office, Minister Shen on the display screen, and Mr. Su on the phone. They could clearly understand every word Professor Bai said, but this view made it difficult for them to understand.
After a while, Minister Shen whispered: "Then, if he meets the requirements, he will be allowed to proceed to the second stage?"
"If the rules allow, of course we have to agree."
Professor Bai frowned, then loosened his brows and said: "Otherwise, why do we make rules?"
