Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

There's absolutely no indication that a grand event was held yesterday.

When they arrived at the main street, they found it crowded with people, and many were heading towards the notice board.

"A new factory is hiring! Really?! I'm quitting my job right now!"

"Bicycle factory! Bicycles are finally going to start production! I wonder if I'll be able to buy the first one!"

"You're not even submitting a resume? Move aside, can't you see we're all lined up?"

Many villagers held brand-new resumes, ready to compete for positions at the bicycle factory.

According to a rough estimate, about five or six thousand people participated this time, but only about two thousand will be admitted in the end.

A large majority of applicants will be rejected, many of whom have resigned to gamble on this opportunity.

If I'm not accepted, I might lose my job.

"Bicycle factory! Bicycles are finally going to start production! I wonder if I'll be able to buy the first one!"

"You're not even submitting a resume? Move aside, can't you see we're all lined up?"

Many villagers held brand-new resumes, ready to compete for positions at the bicycle factory.

According to a rough estimate, about five or six thousand people participated this time, but only about two thousand will be admitted in the end.

A large majority of applicants will be rejected, many of whom have resigned to gamble on this opportunity.

If I'm not accepted, I might lose my job.

Some kind-hearted bosses might rehire these resigned employees, but the compensation will certainly not be as good as before.

Therefore, if these people don't get a job, they will have to find another one.

However, such people are still in the minority; most people keep their original jobs while submitting their resumes.

In this case, there is a step back.

Qu Feng glanced at it briefly and then ignored it.

He used a concealment spell when he went out today; otherwise, he would have been caught in the wave of resume submissions and would have been enveloped in it, not able to get out for at least an hour.

To save time and avoid unnecessary trouble, let's start with the Breath Concealment Technique.

He wasn't in charge of submitting resumes and recruiting employees, so Qu Feng didn't care much; he only needed to know how many employees had been recruited.

Upon arriving at the Hokage Building, there weren't many villagers around, probably because they were all drawn by the notice board. The area in front of the building was filled with ninjas.

Without any hesitation, he went straight upstairs to his office.

Upon entering the room, one could see Anwar handling official business with an intelligent puppet.

Even after seeing that Qu Feng had arrived, the puppet did not stop what it was doing and continued to diligently correct the errors.

An Hua immediately put down his task: "Lord Hokage, you've arrived? Has something important happened?"

Unless it's an urgent or important matter, Qu Feng usually doesn't come to the office, and An Hua has long been used to it.

Today, the Hokage has come in person. I wonder what he has to tell me?

"No, I was just bored at home, so I came to check out the work situation here."

An Hua felt somewhat helpless after hearing this, but he didn't say anything. Although the Hokage liked to slack off, he had many ways to do it.

The 'clone' that was sent out handled official business incredibly quickly; even An Hua couldn't keep up with its pace.

"I see. Then, Lord Hokage, please have a seat for a while. I'll go make you a cup of tea."

Just as An Hua was about to leave, Qu Feng quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm not that thirsty."

Use the wind to move the puppet to a small table on the left side of the office to work.

He then sat at his desk and asked Anwar, "I heard from Amado that you two bumped into each other on the street yesterday?"

Qu Feng's sudden mention of the name startled An Hua, and a hint of unease appeared on his face: "Ah... yes, yes, I happened to run into Lord Amado yesterday, exchanged a few words, and then left."

Qu Feng smiled and said, "I see. But that makes sense, you and Amado haven't met many times."

Last night, Qu Feng and Zhi Li observed the two of them for ten minutes. When the couple left, Amado and Anwar hadn't even finished talking.

This isn't something you can just leave after a few words.

Anhua nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I have only met Lord Amado two or three times, but I have always admired him. After all, so many electrical appliances are made by him."

Anwar seemed unaware that when she spoke of Amado, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously turn up slightly.

However, when talking about other things, he doesn't exhibit this behavior at all.

If before taking the wind he thought Amado was in unrequited love, now he is 80% sure that Anwar also has some feelings for Amado.

However, it remains to be seen how far this goodwill can develop.

After all, just as Anwar himself said, she and Amado had indeed only met a few times.

It's possible that I got a little excited yesterday because I suddenly met someone I admire, so we ended up chatting a bit more.

“Haha, Amado also said you are a very good person. After we talked yesterday, Amado went home and praised you to us for a long time, saying that you are a very serious and responsible person.”

It must be said that his ability to fabricate stories is second to none, but Anwar couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Upon hearing what Qu Feng said, she could barely contain her smile, but she managed to suppress it.

"Really? Lord Amado is so sure of me, I'm so happy."

Anwar is very focused when he works and won't be distracted by other things.

But she couldn't resist the wind forcefully pulling her into the conversation.

This completely shattered her professional image, and she almost couldn't hide her true thoughts.

Qu Feng nodded: "Yes, it seems you two admire each other. How about this, come to my house for dinner tonight, and take this opportunity to get to know each other."

“There will definitely be times when we will work directly with Amado in the future. Getting familiar with each other in advance will make our work easier to move forward.”

The reason given for seeking wind was quite sufficient, allowing the two of them to get to know each other through the purpose of their work.

But once you get to know each other, who cares whether you're working or not?

As expected, Anhua initially wanted to refuse, but when she heard the second half of Qu Feng's sentence, she swallowed her words of refusal.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will go. Thank you for your hospitality."

Qu Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be so polite. You are my most capable assistant. Even without Amado, I was planning to invite you to my home. Zhili will cook dinner tonight. You're in for a treat."

"Lord Chiri is cooking? I am truly honored."

Afterwards, the two discussed some personal matters, such as how they felt about celebrating the New Year yesterday and whether they were scared when they saw the Nian monster.

They chatted like this for about twenty minutes before gradually bringing the topic back to work.

"By the way, Anhua, Haiyuan told me that General Mifune will be leaving Konoha tomorrow. We should remember to hold a farewell ceremony and give Mifune some small gifts."

An Hai nodded immediately after hearing this and wrote it down in his notebook: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will complete it. I have a pretty good relationship with General Mifune and I know a bit about his preferences."

Toruka knew about this. Before Mifune became shogun, he was accompanied by Anwa when he came to Konoha. For a whole week, Anwa led them on a tour of Konoha.

They could be considered old friends, but now that Mifune has become a shogun, he naturally can no longer be considered a friend of Anwar.

Chapter 609 The Wandering Ronin

An Hua nodded immediately after hearing this and wrote it down in his notebook: "Yes, Hokage-sama, I will take care of it. I have a pretty good relationship with General Mifune and I know a bit about his preferences."

Toruka knew about this. Before Mifune became shogun, he was accompanied by Anwa when he came to Konoha. For a whole week, Anwa led them on a tour of Konoha.

They could be considered old friends, but now that Mifune has become a shogun, he naturally can no longer be considered a friend of Anwar.

That's just how the ninja world is. Although Touko doesn't usually like being addressed as "Master," there's nothing he can do about it.

Even the villagers of Konoha still believe in the distinction between superiors and inferiors, let alone those in other countries.

This is not something that can be changed overnight; it requires a gradual process. The villagers' mindset needs to change little by little, and progress needs to be made generation by generation.

If one were to try to change the deeply ingrained ideas of tens of thousands of people in just a few years, Qu Feng felt that such a thing was beyond human capability.

"Besides Mifune, the Tsuchikage and Kazekage should be leaving soon too. You can ask them about the exact time and then give them a gift."

The guests are all people of status, and whether they are coming or leaving, there must be a certain level of welcoming and farewell ceremony.

This is basic respect.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I've got it all figured out."

With that, there was nothing more to do with taking the wind. After chatting with An Hua for a while, he left the office to go home.

As I opened the office door and walked out, I saw a group of ninjas carrying several large boxes heading towards the personnel department.

Qu Feng figured these must be the resumes that had been collected.

Selecting from so many people and conducting simple interviews is quite a huge undertaking.

The HR staff will have to work a bit harder these next couple of days.

However, their work is usually quite leisurely, and they don't get busy with large projects like this very often throughout the year.

"Lord Hokage! Are you going out?" The leading ninja asked with respect and admiration when he saw Torifu about to leave.

He was just an ordinary Chunin, and he rarely had the chance to talk to the Hokage. Even if he did meet him, it was always a fake Hokage.

When they met, he greeted them.

Qu Feng smiled and said, "Not bad. I've been dealing with official business all afternoon, and I'm a little tired now. I'll go for a walk."

"These must be the resumes submitted by the villagers. It's so kind of you to bring them over."

Seeing that Toki had said so much to him, the leading ninja shook his head repeatedly: "No trouble at all, this is our mission. Then, Lord Hokage, we will not disturb you any longer."

Then, the ninjas bowed slightly and watched as Tofu departed.

Qu Feng smiled, waved his hand, and then turned and left.

As the figure of the wind-taking figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor, the ninjas' faces once again revealed joyful smiles.

"The Hokage is so kind, he even cares about us. Let's hurry up and send our resumes over, so as not to delay the Hokage's business."
