Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1151 You guys...you might as well just change your name to the Lyon Bureau!

"..."X6
Faced with the director of the Cleanup Bureau's stubborn resistance, the board members looked at each other for a moment, then looked at him with considerable tension.

Director, times have changed!
Two years ago, most cleaners would have believed in your judgment as the director and thought that your approach might actually succeed.

But after conquering the underworld, the situation is completely different from before. Aquarius's mistress... his extremely close female friend is actually the highest controller of the underworld branch.

Over the past few months, Director Emma has personally resurrected nearly two hundred cleaners who died in the line of duty. The situation at the Underworld branch has already spread throughout all branches with those people. Now, Aquarius's reputation among the lower and middle-level cleaners is frighteningly good, and even the title of God of Food is almost forgotten.

You know, even if all of us directors were together, our voices might not carry as much weight as Aquarius's. And you, as a director, can't even get a vote through. There's no need for you to force the scope to be expanded and humiliate yourself again, is there?
"Of course, it might be too much trouble to call them all."

Seeing the complicated expressions on the faces of the board members, the director of the Cleanup Bureau realized that something seemed amiss and quickly smiled and changed his words:
"Or should we just call the directors of the Zodiac Bureau as well? It seems like having them involved would be about the same?"

"..."

The difference isn't that much, but it's probably still a huge difference...

Seeing that the director of the Cleanup Bureau was still unwilling to give up, the Cancer director, who had been his friend for many years, finally couldn't help but send him a private message to remind him:

'Stop messing around, that's enough for now!'

'ah?!!!'

'Aquarius has a high reputation among the Zodiac Directors, so calling them here will yield the same result!'

Knowing that his old friend was the type to not learn until faced with dire consequences, the Cancer director could only explain:
Olivia from the Virgo branch is having an affair with Aquarius; Beverly from the Leo branch is Olivia's best friend; Barto's granddaughter from the Aquarius branch was saved by Aquarius; the Pisces branch owes Aquarius a huge favor because of the "Nonsense" incident; and the Scorpio chief has been saved by him more than once.

Besides these five staunch supporters, he also risked his life to rescue the Zodiac Director, who was trapped on Heavenly Mountain, from the abyss. If he were to bring the Zodiac Directors back, he could easily get another nine or ten votes. How could you possibly beat him?

'...'

After hearing the Cancer director's advice, the head of the Cleaning Bureau was completely dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask in a private message:

'What are you all doing! He's only been in the Cleanup Bureau for a short time! How come you're all siding with him?'

We sided with him... Rather than saying we chose to side with him, it's more accurate to say that Aquarius truly brought about change in the Cleanup Bureau.

Although he hasn't been with the Cleanup Bureau for long, he has accomplished more than he ever did in his entire life. The changes in the Cleanup Bureau and the world in recent years are more numerous and dramatic than those in the past thousand years combined. Aquarius has indeed given us hope for changing the world.

Hmm... Compared to that vague "hope" of the old land, this homegrown hope seems much better.

'Regardless of why we support him, your plan is definitely doomed.'

Not having the heart to tell his old friend directly that he really couldn't compare to others, the Cancer director earnestly advised:
I know you like to try new things and always want to give it another shot no matter what, but this time Aquarius is really different. No matter how much you try, it won't work.

And even if you do find a solution, Aquarius can always bring up the Third Hokage again… Although you're the current director, you don't think your prestige can compare to the Third Hokage's, do you?

'...'

You guys... this is too much of a bullying... After taking stock of the "Lyon faction" within the Cleanup Bureau with the help of the Cancer director, the head of the Cleanup Bureau felt a slight soreness in his nose and his neck suddenly felt heavy.

When I left, everything was fine. The cleaners admired me, the directors respected me, the board members supported me, and even the Third Generation helped me forge the abnormal object. But when I turned around, everything had changed, and all of this suddenly belonged to someone else!
'How can you do this...'

Feeling like he'd been thoroughly humiliated, the head of the sanitation bureau couldn't help but complain in a private chat:
'How old is he this year? He'll probably be working for another hundred years or more! If you keep going like this, the Cleanup Bureau might as well not be called the Cleanup Bureau anymore, just call it the Lyon Bureau!'

What do you think?

Upon hearing the director of the Cleanup Bureau's complaint, the Cancer director couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

You have experience and hard work, but Aquarius has strength, benefits, influence, achievements, vision, and potential. Even your appearance is much more handsome than yours, with your pointy face and monkey-like features. What do you have to compare with him?

Although Aquarius is indeed a bit lacking in seniority and can't directly remove you as the bureau chief, he really does have the final say in the bureau right now. What are you, the bureau chief who is far away in the old town, but just a figurehead?
"OK then……"

After a simple vote, having rediscovered his place, the head of the sanitation bureau closed his eyes reluctantly, then said with a stern face:

"Since everyone seems to favor Aquarius's plan, let's try it out for now. As for my side..."

"You might as well continue to try it on your end as well."

Although he didn't agree with the Director of the Cleanup Bureau's ideas and even disliked his plan to sacrifice a large number of ordinary people, Leon still respected the Director of the Cleanup Bureau, who had spent decades in the old earth searching for humanity's lost treasures.

While he wasn't particularly fond of "hope," it would be nice to have some virtues to rely on. After considering the manpower needed to explore the fourteen planes, Lyon took the initiative to suggest:

"Actually, these two things are not entirely contradictory. If, after you have contacted the remnants of the old land, you find the situation suitable, you can also help them carry out a small-scale relocation, but try not to make the number of people too large."

"And they have to be the ones who want to move here!"

After giving the thoughtful-looking director of the Cleanup Bureau a wary look, the Taurus director spoke up, emphasizing:

"The remnants of the old lands are also a branch of humanity. No coercion! No threats! No deception! Tell them the truth! Tell them both the benefits and the dangers! If you act recklessly..."

"Then I'll resign on the spot and let Aquarius be the next director!"

Unable to resist interrupting the Golden Bull Director's warning, the head of the Cleanup Bureau said with some displeasure:
"I may be stubborn, but I wouldn't break the rules, would I? The voting results are already in, so how can I possibly act recklessly?"

That's true...

After hearing the director of the Cleanup Bureau's words, Jinniu Director felt that he was not so reckless as to be so tactless, and his expression finally relaxed a little.

However, just as she was about to give a few more words of advice, the thick fog above the Sage's Cemetery suddenly broke through, and an incredibly intense ray of sunlight pierced through the divide between the mortal world and the dead, shining precisely on Leon's head.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, the blazing sunlight shifted and transformed, slowly condensing into an invisible crown radiating the sun's flames... and this was the symbol of the Director of the Cleanup Bureau!
