"Is there a problem?!" Nakahara Mizuki slammed her hand on the table. "Only three days into the job, and she's already been promoted to department head based on her achievements? I've never seen such a rapid promotion in my life! It's outrageous! I just had a new person to bully, and now that's gone!"

She pretended to wipe away her tears, choking back sobs, "It's so unfair that I can only bully Takina from now on!"

Inoue Takina's face darkened; she wished she could throw the barley tea directly in her face.

"No way! This meal has to be paid for by you, you freak newbie! I'm going to get you completely drunk!"

So this was your real purpose... Luo Tian thought to himself, speechless.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.

Did he become a department head after only three days on the job? Or was he promoted based on merit?

She finally realized what was happening.

The problem is not that SDS's recruitment mechanism is flawed.

Luo Tian himself is the one with serious problems!

This guy, who seemed unreliable before, is incredibly talented and lucky!

Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was convinced that Luo Tian was extremely unusual, Luo Tian looked at Nakahara Mizuki, who was clamoring to drink more alcohol, and couldn't help but laugh: "Mizuki-nee, you seem to have forgotten my age."

He was already an adult before he transmigrated, but in this world, he is just a normal high school student.

High school students are not allowed to drink alcohol.

Mizuki Nakahara picked up the bottle and was about to pour it out: "What does it matter? There are no outsiders here."

Mika immediately snatched the bottle away, her already dark face turning even more grim: "Don't encourage minors to drink and cause trouble."

"Tsk, how boring." Nakahara Mizuki muttered under her breath.

"Could you please keep your voice down when you're talking about me behind my back?" Mika put the bottle aside helplessly and gave Luo Tian an apologetic smile. "Sorry, it's a celebration today, so I didn't keep her in check."

Luo Tian nodded in understanding. No wonder Mika knew about his transfer but hadn't mentioned it. She was waiting to bring it up during a celebration.

At that moment, Yukino Yukinoshita's hushed voice reached his ear: "Um... Senior Luo Tian..."

"What's wrong?" Luo Tian turned his head and leaned closer to look at her.

"...You're standing a little too close." Yukino Yukinoshita pointed out his posture—his head was sandwiched between her and Chizuka, and one hand was on their shoulders.

"Ah, sorry." Luo Tian immediately withdrew his hand and looked at Nishiki Chizuka, who was busy typing and sending messages.

Chizuka Nishiki received Tachibana Kirika's reply and grumbled, "No way, the department transfer is actually true?"

She whirled around, glaring at Luo Tian with resentment: "Will Yukino be joining your new department?"

"That's right, that's how it is." Luo Tian did not deny it.

"How could this happen!" Chizuka Nishiki exclaimed dejectedly, running to Takina Inoue and rubbing against her. "We finally had a beautiful new girl join us, but it turns out she's from another department!"

"Takina, I'm so sad."

"Alright, alright... the mushrooms are cooked, would you like a piece?" Inoue Takina looked at the sukiyaki pot next to her and reassured her casually.

"You just casually mention 'top-tier beauty' girls, aren't you afraid the new colleagues will feel uncomfortable?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita calmly replied, "I don't feel awkward at all, because this is an objective fact."

As soon as she said that, all four people sitting there, as well as Luo Tian standing to the side, turned their gazes toward her.

"...Did I say something wrong?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at everyone's reactions with a puzzled expression.

After all, she would be his future subordinate, so Luo Tian could only step in to ease the tension: "There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that Yukino is too straightforward."

"Thank you for your recognition." Yukino Yukinoshita said sincerely.

Luo Tian didn't know how to respond for a moment, when Nishiki Chizuka smiled and smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, stop standing, sit down quickly, sukiyaki doesn't taste as good when it's cold."

Luo Tian naturally took Mu Geng's hand and sat down next to Mika, with Mu Geng sitting close to him.
