Chapter 469 - 153: [New Boss] (6200)_3
Hey! I’m not talking about you! If you could get absorbed into the Inspection Bureau, you must have some real skills, little brother.
But generally speaking, the local cultivators in this world don’t have much skill, and the cultivators from the Domain Realm look down on the fellows here.
Anyway, it’s just discrimination.
In the Inspection Bureau, there are very few cultivators from this world. Those who occasionally get absorbed are at the lowest level positions—like your current temporary status.
If you were in another group, where the leaders are from the Domain Realm, they would definitely look down on you. The benefits won’t come to you, and you’d be stuck with the dirty and tiring work—think about it! How long would it take for you to climb the ranks in that situation?"
Chen Yan quickly nodded.
"I’m different. I’m born in this world, so I won’t discriminate against a loose cultivator like you! Stick with me in the future, and I’ll take care of you!"
Chen Yan had sinister thoughts in his mind, but his face showed caution and admiration as he smiled and said, "Brother Ouyang, to be in this position, your cultivation must be quite advanced, right?"
"Of course! I’ve been in the Inspection Bureau for a long time. I’ve been around this world for many years. Rest assured, I’m familiar with everyone up and down!"
Chen Yan nodded, "So, who else is in our group?"
"..." Ouyang’s expression stiffened, then he forced a laugh, "Hahaha... as of now, besides you, there are no other members in our group."
Oh well, just two people?
A group leader, and me?
Chen Yan looked at Ouyang, feeling odd.
This guy was still "interning" before, and from what he said, it would take several years to accumulate the performance and experience for a promotion.
How did he suddenly get promoted, and the "intern assistant inspector" title suddenly lost the "intern" part?
Fearing that Chen Yan would look down on him, Ouyang promptly said, "I won’t beat around the bush, let me make it clear! This group is newly formed. I’m the group leader, and you’re my first member..."
Hmm, probably your first "subordinate" in this life too... Chen Yan sighed inwardly.
No wonder this guy is so excited and proud.
Being promoted to a leadership position, even if there’s only one underling, the feeling is naturally different.
"... You’re my first member, and in the future, they’ll certainly assign more members to me. According to the Inspection Bureau’s system, a group should ideally have four to five members.
But since you came early, and we’re both locals of this world, I’ll naturally look out for you.
You... work hard! As for the deputy leader position in the future... do your best!"
Ouyang said this while winking at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan sighed inwardly.
Deputy leader?
Just two people, one leader and one deputy leader?
Man, your talent for painting big pictures is pretty average.
At least I worked in the Flower Raccoon System before, where they paint pictures in a more professional way.
Besides... Chen Yan suspected something!
A newly established group!
A newly promoted group leader, Ouyang!
WTF!
Was this group specifically established to take care of him by his grandma and Lin Qingquan?
If that’s the case...
This group probably won’t take in any newcomers!
This is creating a position for a person! They won’t add or waste more quotas.
Chen Yan looked at the spirited Ouyang, unwilling to dampen his enthusiasm.
It’s just that he never expected to one day enjoy the special treatment of a "position created for a person" as a special privilege-holder.
·
This "Little Penglai" restaurant is run by Ouyang himself.
He holds both the positions of owner and head chef.
According to Ouyang, since he’s an inspector, walking around this world, he needs a suitable secular identity.
Being quite skilled in cooking, he simply opened a restaurant.
"Brother Ouyang, you’re from the Thre Eastern States, why not open a Thre Eastern States restaurant? Why open a Shandong cuisine restaurant?"
Ouyang sighed, shaking his head, "Don’t even mention it, brother. It’s a tear-jerking story... I used to open a Thre Eastern States restaurant when I worked with other groups, and it ended up failing."
"Why?"
Chen Yan was somewhat confused.
Honestly, judging from the braised pork knuckle and Spanish mackerel dumplings just now, Ouyang’s cooking skills are pretty good.
"Why else? In our line of work, we have to go out from time to time, how can we tend to the restaurant every day? I would be gone for several days, and with no one to cook at the restaurant, it just went under."
"Couldn’t you hire a good cook to replace you when you’re not there?"
Ouyang shook his head, "That won’t do! I have no other hobbies; I just love cooking! I opened a restaurant because I have to be the chef myself. I’m the boss, am I supposed to hire someone to take over my position?"
Hmm, okay, then you deserve to lose money.
Chen Yan nodded.
But... for a cultivator like Ouyang, losing money probably doesn’t bother him at all.
·
Chen Yan actually ordered six dishes, but Ouyang told him that since the restaurant is newly opened, many ingredients weren’t prepared yet, so for the six dishes, only a braised pork knuckle and Spanish mackerel dumplings were available tonight.
Nothing else, unfortunately.
Chen Yan couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
Fine, since you’re running this place just for your hobby, and you’re not worried about losing money, what am I worried about?
Later, Ouyang and Chen Yan chatted for a while—after some probing, Chen Yan was sure that Ouyang truly didn’t recognize him, didn’t realize that he was "Wang Chuyi" from the secret realm trial in Japan.
It seems the White Fox Inner Core’s talent divine technique, Transformation Technique, is truly remarkable.
