Chapter 599 The Truth About Dismissal
"Then I'll leave first."

Just as Modice was about to leave, Shangguan Yan suddenly put his hand on his shoulder, leaned over, and said softly with a smile:
"Modis, being too smart is your shortcoming. If you use all your brainpower on scientific research, you will definitely become a great scholar. But if you use it for other things... you won't live long."

"How do you know that I don't put all my brain into research? Just don't worry about me." Modis said coldly, with a hint of provocation in his words.

"I wish you good luck in your research." Shangguan Yan withdrew his hand.

She watched the short dwarf staggering towards the office area, with deep emotions flowing in her eyes.

She had hardly ever violated the first two rules of her agreement with the devil, and all her interactions with others were based on the premise of "transaction."

She also never lets others misjudge her actions. In order to prevent others from regarding her actions as good deeds, she rarely participates in the rescue of civilians. Even before she became known as the Witch, she did not participate in the rescue of members of the Control Bureau.

These two taboos are not easy to violate if you pay attention.

The most dangerous one is the third taboo: [If you have a crush on someone, you must not let the other person know of your crush.]

Human emotions cannot be controlled by ourselves. Once they are born, they can only be suppressed if they are not released.

Shangguan Yan seldom has a favorable impression on others, but after spending several years with his teammates, how could he not have any favorable impression at all?

But those fools don't matter, they can't feel her kindness, everything is a transaction, all the smiles are masks.

She maintained her persona very well and was ruthless in her actions, so even if they were grateful to her, they could not imagine that she had good intentions for them.

But Xia Shou is different, and Modise is another exception.

Xia Shou made her unable to control her behavior, and it was also her attitude towards Xia Shou that caused her to reveal flaws, allowing Modice to see through something.

Once a taboo becomes known to others, it is like having a guillotine placed at one's neck.

She wasn't sure if Modice had thought so specifically, but Modice had helped her, and she did find this guy more pleasing to the eye.

In order to prevent Modise from being convinced that she has feelings for him, he must put enough pressure on her, and the threat of life is the most effective.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Now that Xia Shou has found it, he has to think of another way out, a method to suppress the ascension of the sheep head.

In addition, she would have to find a way to get rid of the sheep's head, but based on her understanding of the sheep's head, there was probably no other way except to kill it.

Shangguan Yan took out his cell phone and checked the time.

It's about time. Don't keep him waiting too long.

……

Xia Shou stayed in Shangguan Yan's office, walking back and forth from one end of the room to the other.

Finally, the office door was opened, and Shangguan Yan walked in with her usual smile, as if she had been away for a business trip and nothing unexpected had happened.

"Minister." Xia Shou called out, giving the other party a questioning look.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry." Shangguan Yan put his windbreaker on the back of the chair and sat down. "The situation caused by Jin Fenglong is indeed serious, but it's not serious enough to be completely out of control."

"But Modise said I might be fired... for contribution."

"In your case, you can indeed be fired. In fact, even the director and I may be fired. Your confidentiality rights are fundamentally in violation of the law.

Your confidentiality authority comes from my permission, and my permission is approved by the Director. What do you think needs to be kept confidential in the Control Bureau?"

"Information that would cause unnecessary danger if known by irrelevant personnel." While answering, Xia Shou also began to think.

"That's right. The right to know in the Control Bureau is ranked from high to low. The director does not have the highest right to know, and neither do I. In other words, what the director and I know, those with higher authority will definitely know, but what the other party knows, we may not have the right to know.

The current situation is that someone with higher authority wants to know your personal information, but the director cannot provide it because you have never provided any personal information or participated in any ability tests.

If no one with higher authority is involved, your confidentiality will be in violation, but you will not be held accountable, but the situation is a bit troublesome now. "Shangguan Yan explained.

"But as an employee, I am beneficial to the Bureau, right? In fact, the main reason for firing me was to make a deal with the Library of Humanity because they were eyeing Glendower's manuscript."

"Although the current situation is very serious, the Control Bureau will not abandon its employees. Such behavior will shake the cohesion of the organization." Shangguan Yan explained.

"But it seems that the organization has decided to expel me." Xia Shou said in a deep voice.

Although Xia Shou also understood that his confidentiality violated the rules of the Control Bureau, he was fired for this reason. It would be a lie to say that he did not have any dissatisfaction or complaints in his heart.

Although he had only joined the Control Bureau for a short time, he believed that he had made many contributions to the Bureau. It was really unpleasant to be abandoned so directly at the critical moment.

He even suspected that Modise was joking with him, because in his usual impression, the Control Bureau was not such a cold organization.

He brought back so many precious relics from the funeral home, and the Control Bureau was willing to use them in exchange for two thousand civilians. There was no reason to abandon employees for the so-called overall situation at a critical moment.

To put it bluntly, this will shake the morale of the entire organization.

"Those involved are often confused." Shangguan Yan sighed.

"Let me explain it to you, and also sort out how serious the current situation is.

Xiao Xia, I know about it, whether it's the Blood Demon House or the Blood Mother Cult, but according to the information from the Control Bureau, the person who solved the Blood Demon House was not you, but the beast tamer. You are just a survivor.

Blood Mother Cult, according to the records and reports, you did not participate in the key battle. It was the Level 5 Finisher Xianna who repelled the realm gatekeeper and terminated the promotion ceremony.

The movie hotel incident was caused by the rescue operation caused by Xiaoyue. Although it can be considered an achievement, it accounts for a larger proportion of the rescue of companions. It is an employee who encounters an accident, and the control bureau has the obligation to assist. Vogt, you actually understand, right? The Vogt incident has nothing to do with the control bureau. The whole department is dispatched as my personal dispatch, but I think you should not think that I am just dealing with my own business.

The three tasks you are responsible for solving are Moon Burning Village, the closed area of ​​the hospital, and the Blood Cave incident.

These are all extraordinary achievements and are recorded in my resume.

But now, the problem is that we cannot prove ourselves because the confidentiality procedure for you is itself a violation.

If that were all, it wouldn't warrant contribution-based dismissal.

I don't know where you heard this from. Although everyone knows about this unspoken rule, there are few records of it being actually enforced. Only in extremely dangerous situations, special employees who have been transferred from criminals will take such measures.

Moreover, the criminal employees were aware of this unwritten agreement when they were hired.

Apart from this, only when the branch is facing a huge crisis where it cannot continue to exist will we discuss with the employees themselves and make the final decision.

For example, if we don’t draw a clear line with you, then people in the entire city will die. In this extreme case, the control bureau will have no choice.

One could even say that this was not the intention of some high-level official, but rather a collective subconscious vote.

If one person doesn't leave the Control Bureau, your parents, your friends, Su Yue and other colleagues, everyone you can think of will die, then what will you do?
I don't know your choice, but if it means my important people can live, I don't care how many people I kill.

At this time, contribution-based dismissal is the choice for the Control Bureau to maintain its pathetic dignity and minimize the huge losses. "

"Is the situation this time so serious?"

Xia Shou's face instantly darkened.

"Is it because of me?" Xia Shou asked again uncertainly.

Shangguan Yan nodded slowly without saying a word.

Xia Shou was shocked. He felt that this shouldn't happen.

Based on his understanding of the Bureau's strength, how could the Library of Humanity pose such a great threat to the Bureau!

"Of course, there are many reasons I haven't mentioned." Shangguan Yan added.

Of course she was lying.

In fact, the real reason has nothing to do with Xia Shou, but has everything to do with her.

As a semi-anonymous person, she is in a semi-cooperative position with the Control Bureau.

Although she has done a lot for the Control Bureau all along, in fact, the General Administration has always tacitly acknowledged that she is not responsible to the Control Bureau, but to Feng Ruohui.

Now, Feng Ruohui violated the confidentiality rules, and she, the semi-announced accomplice, was the guilty party.

Even the Control Bureau believed that Feng Ruohui was an accomplice...and of course that was indeed the case.

In short, in the eyes of the Control Bureau, this person who was kept secret not only survived the Blood Demon House, but also solved the problem of Moon Burning Village once and for all and passed through the underworld...

His strength is a mystery. Compared with other extraordinary people of the same level, he is extremely strong.

Shangguan Yan himself has established a cold and cruel personality in the Control Bureau for many years, and he also concealed the truth of why he did not ascend to heaven from the Control Bureau.

In the eyes of the General Administration, the whole thing looked like a huge conspiracy, like a semi-named person who failed to be promoted, recruited a loyal follower, and used the resources and privileges of the Control Bureau for a long time, preparing for promotion again.

In this situation, Shangguan Yan thought it was normal even though the General Administration believed that Director Feng Ruohui was her puppet.

Or so anyone with a brain would think.

The expulsion of Xia Shou was just for the most basic decency and to protect the cohesion of the organization.

If it is really implemented, I am afraid that even basic assistance will not be provided.

Even if we just take him in, it would be considered normal.

Shangguan Yan sighed calmly and glanced at Xia Shou "indifferently".

He was so shocked and must have been under a lot of psychological pressure.

I want to tell him the truth.

But I can't say that I became a witch that everyone fears just because I was waiting for you.

Shangguan Yan tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said:

"But it's not unsolvable. I said, as long as you listen, I will help you with these things... This deal is still valid now."

Her tone was the same as always, as if she had everything under control.

Xia Shou raised his head and frowned in confusion. There was no joy of being rescued on his face, but instead he was very alert.

When making a deal with the devil, the greater the benefits you gain, the higher the price you pay.

He has already realized this during his long-term collaboration with Shangguan Yan.

Xia Shou always felt that the invisible collar around his neck was getting tighter.
