Chapter 1481: The Young Birds 5 (Part 2) Awkward
7:26 in the morning
"Master Xianglin, what are you doing............"
At the main entrance of the cafeteria in the General Affairs Department, a group of directors who had just finished breakfast looked at Yin Xianglin in astonishment. She had just been on vacation for two days and just returned to work today. However, the things in Yin Xianglin's hands at this moment surprised many people.
"Don't worry, I picked it up."
At once, many female directors and some women in the General Affairs Department came over. Everyone looked at the baby in Yin Xianglin's hand, who was sleeping soundly. Yin Xianglin smiled innocently. Wu Qun had said a lot to her in the past two days. Yin Xianglin didn't want to agree to Wu Qun's request to raise the child herself, but in the end Yin Xianglin agreed.
"How about treating it as an early mother's parenting training!"
It was this sentence that made Yin Xianglin agree to Wu Qun. If it weren't for the endless work in the General Affairs Department, if it weren't for Alpha's incident, Yin Xianglin would have resigned long ago and married Wu Qun.
There were discussions in the General Affairs Department. Many people wondered why Yin Xianglin brought a baby to work, but after knowing that it was picked up by Yin Xianglin, many people felt a little surprised.
After Yin Xianglin sat in the office, she did not rush to deal with some things, but read the precautions for raising babies. She looked at the baby girl next to her, smiled and leaned over, gently leaned over, put her head on the baby girl's cheek, and felt the child's gentle breathing.
Beep beep
Accompanied by a soft mechanical sound, Yin Xianglin immediately took out the milk powder, and started to mix it according to the ratio skillfully, and then put it in the thermos bottle, basically feeding it every two hours.
Yin Xianglin looked at the time, there were more than 10 minutes left, and then she returned to her desk with peace of mind and started working, but she always looked at the baby next to her with some anxiety.
Dong Dong
A slight knock on the door sounded, Yin Xianglin hurried over to open the door, Luo Jiahui and Yu Wanrou were standing at the door, Yin Xianglin smiled awkwardly.
"Xianglin, what's going on?"
Locke asked, and Yin Xianglin replied.
"I picked her up."
Then Yin Xianglin prepared a long-awaited explanation, telling the two that she found this baby girl who was just a few days old on the street when she went out for a drink at night, and temporarily picked her up.
"You don't really plan to raise a child, Xianglin!"
Yu Wanrou asked, and Yin Xianglin nodded after thinking for a moment.
"I always feel a little unbelievable, so I'll raise this child for now and see when the time comes."
Locke watched his wife squatting next to the baby basket, smiling at the baby inside. Locke thought for a moment and said nothing, because he felt that this baby girl was not picked up, but Locke didn't intend to delve into it. After all, the current situation is that Yin Xianglin is very likely to leave the General Affairs Department.
Recently, Wu Qun has often come to the General Affairs Department. Everyone knows about Yin Xianglin and Wu Qun. Both of them are people who stand on different positions. If the relationship is so close, one of them must give up the current job. Based on Locke's understanding of Wu Qun, he will not give up everything he has, and Yin Xianglin has long wanted to leave.
The current situation is still not stable. The General Affairs Department still needs Yin Xianglin. Over the years, Locke knows that Yin Xianglin has been suffering in such a depressing environment. Locke can't ask Yin Xianglin to continue like this. This is unfair to her.
The story of Yin Xianglin and Wu Qun has now spread to the outside world. One is the head of the parliamentarian faction, and the other is a senior official of the Operations Department. There is no way to avoid suspicion.
"I'll help you take care of Xianglin for a while. I'm still very experienced."
Yu Wanrou said, and Yin Xianglin hummed.
"Thank you, Sister Wanrou."
After feeding the child with milk, Yu Wanrou carefully carried the baby basket and left. Locke looked at Yin Xianglin who was about to go to work, walked over and smiled and sat aside.
"Manager, have you finished your work today?"
Locke shook his head.
"If there is really no other way, just resign, Xianglin."
This sentence made Yin Xianglin stop the work in her hands. She hesitated a little, but soon shook her head.
"It will be fine after a while. I don't think it's time yet."
Locke hummed, got up and left. Today he planned to discuss some of the next things of Section 3 with Zijuan. After looking at Yin Xianglin again, Locke walked out of the office. For a moment, he felt unusually tired and pressed his forehead with one hand.
"What am I doing!"
Locke smiled helplessly and walked slowly. Everything now has completely degenerated to the last era. There are more and more money-power transactions, and they are becoming more and more rampant. From the top to the bottom, people in the operation section and members of parliament are all engaged in various money-power transactions.
The strong control of the past has gradually been disintegrated due to social and economic problems. Locke can't think of any way to put an end to all this.
But with the beginning of all this, the economy of Brilliant City has begun to improve again. Money and power have always been a double-edged sword, and now as the citizen hierarchy system has been implemented for a longer time, the pros and cons have begun to appear.
Already, nearly 80% of people have dropped in citizenship level, while only 20% have maintained their status or are rising. This number will continue to shrink, and there is no way to effectively reconcile some newly emerging class conflicts.
The situation in each department is different. Locke cannot ask everyone to do anything. The only thing he can do is to continue to stick to this position and wait for the moment when he can leave with peace of mind one day.
"General Manager, Master Zijuan is here."
Locke nodded, and the director next to him walked quickly. However, there is still hope now. Although this hope is a little too slim and long-term, Locke is still full of confidence in the future.
When he came to the door of a small meeting room, Locke saw Zijuan and her daughter standing by the window. The daughter stood quietly beside Zijuan. The mother and daughter were almost printed out of the same mold, with the same calm expression.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Locke entered and closed the door. Zijuan smiled and shook her head. Zijuan now looks very mature and stable. Zijuan is handling all the big and small things in the three departments.
"Fat brother, there is a plan that needs you to submit for us."
Gary Locke looked at Zijuan with a serious face, and Zijuan patted her daughter on the back.
"Xiao Yuer, go outside and wait for your mother."
After Zi Yuer left, Zijuan turned on a light and shadow screen. After watching it for a few minutes, Gary Locke's face became serious.
"Do we have to do this?"
At this time, a report came from the Altan Ula Mountains. An organization called Red Tide, which was entrenched there, has grown to the point where it can be self-sufficient.
"Yes, Fat Brother, we have to do this. If we continue to let them go, it will pose a threat to the city."
Gary Locke continued to look through some reports. There were some reports on special inspectors there in recent years, including some special inspectors being killed.
And when the city was rioting before, the people who rushed into the eastern guard station and looted were also from this organization. Now there are people from the Red Tide organization in the north and south, and they have controlled a considerable part of the barrier area.
"It's not that we're going to clear them out right now, but we hope that Congress can reach a consensus. Once we find that they pose a threat to the city, our Section 3 can start clearing them out without any authority."
Gary Locke hummed and continued to look at the document, his face always solemn. Zijuan could only wait on the side.
"By the way, I heard that you've sent your daughter to the All-Domain Academy."
Zijuan hummed.
"Do you plan to let her enter Section 3 in the future?"
Zijuan smiled helplessly.
"It depends on the situation."
Dong Dong Dong
After a while, there was a knock in the room, and Zijuan walked over to open the door.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Zijuan squatted in front of her daughter.
"Won't you look around?"
Zi Yu'er shook her head.
"I don't like it here."
Gary Locke smiled and looked over.
"Why, little sister."
"It feels like everyone here is so casual. Are you really working hard?"
As soon as Zi Yu'er finished speaking, Gary Locke laughed. Zijuan was about to interrupt her daughter, but Gary Locke signaled her to let the child continue.
"This is the core of the city, a place that only high-ranking people can set foot on, but why are everyone so lazy? It's different from what I remember."
Gary Locke scratched his head, not knowing how to answer this 6-year-old child. The General Affairs Department is indeed a bit lax now. Gary Locke rarely uses a harsh tone to teach his subordinates, but more often talks.
"Do you want to go and see the little sister again? Even if everyone is a little lazy, they will still work seriously when they should."
Zi Yuer said in disbelief.
"If you live a lazy life even in your daily life, you can't do your job well."
Zi Juan patted her daughter on the back.
"Go around and look around. Mom has something to talk to Fatty Uncle now."
The door of the room closed again, and Zi Yuer could only walk towards the office on the side. She heard bursts of laughter. In Zi Yuer's view, work should be serious and rigorous, and looking at the staff members in a department who were laughing and working, Zi Yuer felt that they were too childish in their attitude towards work.
At least Zi Yuer grew up watching her parents work. No matter where she went, there would always be laughter in the General Affairs Department. This was Zi Yuer's sixth time here. Every time, she felt that the people in this place had too casual work attitudes, and it was impossible to manage the city well.
Zi Yuer saw some female staff members sitting in the rest area and talking about all kinds of things, and she couldn't help but walk over.
"Is it really okay for you to do this? It's clearly working time now."
Several female staff members noticed Zi Yuer, and one of them spoke up. This was Zi Juan's daughter.
"Little sister, sister, we are on break time now, so relax here, and we will go back to work after the break time is over."
Several female staff members spoke up, and one of them pulled Zi Yuer over and took out some candy from the cabinet, but Zi Yuer refused.
"Are you really doing a good job in the General Affairs Department like this?"
Zi Yuer asked again.
"Of course it's good, otherwise we wouldn't be here."
As time passed, these female staff stood up. Zi Yuer watched another group of staff come over. She still asked them about their work, but the answers they received were almost the same. of.
Zi Yu'er hated this place because it was so different from her impression. She was quite looking forward to it when she came here for the first time, but after coming here, Zi Yu'er felt something strange.
After visiting a few times, Zi Yu'er completely lost her admiration for this place. In Zi Yu'er's impression, a place like the General Affairs Department should be busy, busy every minute and every second.
Zi Yu'er got up a little irritably and returned to the small reception room where her mother entered, but the door was still closed. Zi Yu'er was about to knock on the door when, not far away, Zi Yu'er saw the person from the General Affairs Department. Secretary Yin Xianglin, she turned around and ran over.
"Secretary sister, are you finished with your work?"
As soon as Yin Xianglin sat down, he saw a child approaching, his eyes full of doubts.
“There’s never enough work to do here.”
Yin Xianglin just said it casually, but Zi Yuer became serious.
"Then why are you so unorganized? You obviously have so much work."
Yin Xianglin frowned slightly for a moment. This child had been here several times, even though he would ask some annoying questions.
"Because we are not robots, as long as the work for the day can be completed, little sister, you should go back to your mother quickly."
"Mom is discussing something with Fat Uncle. Sister Secretary, why don't you want to change?"
Yin Xianglin smiled bitterly.
"Our capabilities are limited and we can only complete the work within our capabilities."
"Then why don't you think of ways to improve your abilities?"
Yin Xianglin felt a little headache. She didn't want to continue to be entangled with this child, but looking at her expectant eyes, Yin Xianglin thought for a while and said.
"Everyone has different abilities and the same level of intelligence. I miss you little sister. You know a lot of things at such a young age. Sister, when I was your age, I only knew how to have fun all day long. You are already amazing. "
Originally, she wanted to divert the child's attention with words of praise, but Zi Yu'er shook her head.
"I'm not such a sister. The reason why I know a lot of things is just because I often watch different things and want to have fun. My mom and dad will also give me time to have fun, but when doing my own thing, I must You have to show an attitude, because if you, secretary sisters, can't do your job well, it will be difficult for the city to improve. If you issue a decree, the city will follow suit, but if you still work in such a sloppy way, it will only It makes the city bad.”
Yin Xianglin was a little angry, but she was an adult and did not intend to argue with this child, because this child had touched her sore spot. The working atmosphere of the General Affairs Department in recent years has been relaxed and happy, but the work efficiency has indeed slowed down a lot. This Yin Xianglin also knows a little bit, but Yin Xianglin feels that the current working atmosphere is great, at least it is not as heavy as in the past, and it is a lot more relaxed.
"But little sister, have you ever thought about a question? Most people in the General Affairs Department now have families. We are not robots. Although the work of managing the city is very important, we have families and it is impossible to devote all our energy to it. "
Zi Yuer blinked and said.
"Then just let those who can't devote all their energy leave the General Affairs Department. What we need here are people who can work seriously and diligently."
Yin Xianglin grinned slightly and gritted her teeth. She wanted to refute the little girl, but for a moment she felt a chill down her spine. If she continued, it would be endless.
"You will understand when you grow up, little sister. Well, sister, I still have a job."
Yin Xianglin said and touched Zi Yuer's head.
"Why? You don't need to wait until I grow up. Sister, you can tell me now."
Yin Xianglin said after hesitating for a while.
"There are some things that you wouldn't understand if you didn't do it yourself. Little sister, you will understand if you sit in the position of secretary one day."
Yin Xianglin said and patted the secretary's crest on his arm, then turned around and walked away with a smile. Zi Yu'er looked at Yin Xianglin's departure with some loneliness.
After a long wait, her mother finally came, and Yin Xianglin ran over quickly.
"Let's have a meal together."
Zijuan shook her head.
"I still have to send my daughter to school. I originally had to send her there early this morning, but the child fell asleep. I didn't wake her up, so I had to take her here first."
Zi Yuer lowered her head in embarrassment, Locke said with a smile.
"For a child of this age, it's better to let her have more children's fun."
Zi Juan hummed and left with Zi Yu'er. Looking at her daughter's unhappy look, Zi Juan said with a smile.
"What's wrong, Xiao Yu'er?"
"Mom, I still don't want to do anything in the future."
Zijuan looked at her daughter in surprise.
"Come on, I'll take you to school first."
After taking her daughter on the lift, Zijuan looked at the time and saw that it was just 10 o'clock. She hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Don't you want to go to school?"
Zi Yuer lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, but she still nodded.
"I hate Mr. Billy, I hate him very much."
Zijuan laughed, knowing that there was indeed some discord between Ziyuer and Billy in school, as if they were mortal enemies as soon as they met. In the past six months, Zijuan also heard that Ziyuer often There were some disputes with Billy in class because Ziyuer couldn't accept Billy's teaching methods.
Although she couldn't accept it, Zi Yu'er couldn't find anything to refute Billy. Zi Juan could only take out her phone and quickly dialed Billy's number.
"Sorry, the kid won't be coming to school for a few days."
Billy's laughter came over the phone.
"Zijuan, your child is a little special, or too awkward, but very smart, and has inherited the advantages of you and Osman. I will teach her well. In the future, talented people like her will be needed to shoulder everything. Come.”
Zijuan smiled and looked at her somewhat awkward daughter, hummed and hung up the phone.
"Then where do you want to go?"
Zi Yuer shook her head, and Zi Juan smiled and stroked her daughter's head. She knew her daughter's character very well. On the one hand, she really wanted to do something according to her ideal self, but she couldn't do it for various reasons. If you do this, you will often feel awkward and depressed, and you will say a lot of things that may seem okay to you, but may seem a bit hurtful to others.
Zijuan also realized that maybe she had put too much pressure on her daughter since she was a child. It was clear that her daughter often talked to others and wanted to have a pleasant conversation, but the words came out of her mouth differently.
"With your weird personality, I miss your dad very much."
Zi Yuer looked at her mother in surprise.
"My dad is a very nice person, as many people in Core 3 have said."
Zijuan laughed.
"Indeed, your dad was always overly serious when he was young, and you are too now. Xiao Yu'er, don't be overly serious. If you want to say anything, say it clearly. Don't hold it in your heart and use it in an awkward way. Go talk to others and you will have fewer friends in the future.”
Zi Yuer shook her head and said with a smile.
"Mom, where do you think it's better to take me to play? How about taking me to play with that sister? I think that sister and I can chat very well."
"Deguna!"
Zijuan smiled helplessly. It was true that Deguna and her daughter were getting along very well. Zijuan nodded and changed the destination of the takeoff, planning to go to Angel Paradise.
The daughter's character is a little too serious, but at the same time too childish. Although the daughter is a child to begin with, there is one thing Zijuan knows very well. Like her father Osman, her daughter is very kind at heart.
In the distance, the Ferris wheel could be seen slowly rotating under the sun. Zijuan smiled and picked up the phone.
The lift stopped outside Angel Paradise, and soon Deguna walked out with a smile.
"Come here, Xiao Yu'er."
Zi Yuer happily ran over, Zi Juan bowed slightly, and Deguna nodded.
"Just let me take care of this child for a few days, and you can continue to do your business."
"Xiao Yu'er, you should listen carefully to what Sister Deguna'a... said."
Deguna glanced at Zijuan, and Ziyuer had already ran into the paradise.
"You are already a mother, this little girl."
Deguna followed and walked in, looking at Zi Yu'er who was very excited. She liked this smart child very much. He had some traits similar to hers. Even though he was very annoying, he was somewhat similar to King Xue.
Deguna knew why Zijuan sent the child to King Xue, because she had clearly felt the characteristics of this child. Deguna smiled and followed Ziyuer who ran excitedly to some entertainment facilities.
The city not only needs people who can do pleasing things, but also people who can do annoying things. This is something Deguna has realized a long time ago. Hiding one's true heart and thinking about things from the opposite side of one's true heart will help. Time is far more practical and important than considering the problem from a normal perspective.
"It's just that I'll be annoying in the future!"
