So I'm a sheep.

“However, as the vice minister, it’s not appropriate for you to stand behind me the whole time. Isn’t there a desk and chair for you in the office? Please sit down.”

"learn!"

And so, Natalia was finally able to sit down while at work.

Well, that's not the point. The point is...

'They grasped it so quickly; I can't find any fault with any of their decisions.'

Seeing the minister's abilities steadily improve, Natalia couldn't help but feel gratified.

'It would be better if they could follow the rules more.'

If there was anything she was unhappy about with the minister, it was that the young woman sometimes liked to push the boundaries.

Although it does not strictly violate the ban, such behavior is still not good.

Volume 1: Chapter 356 It's hopeless

"Deputy Minister, the Special Operations Team is going to hold a competition, and the three of you have jointly sent you an invitation."

After taking the beautifully packaged invitation and glancing at it, Natalia asked with some surprise, "Why would they invite me to their internal competition?"

"After all, there are three Seraphim. It's unfair for either side to fight two against one."

"But I'm not strong enough..."

"Hey, it's just an internal competition, it's not like we're really going to fight to the death."

The young girl seemed quite concerned about this matter. She pointed helplessly to herself and said, "I'm the one who's not capable enough to represent the department. Vice Minister, you're the only one who can go."

"OK then"

Having said that, Natalia could only nod.

"..."

Two to three years isn't really enough time.

'Hmph, take your time.'

The Seraph, lacking enthusiasm, went behind the sixth door to participate in the internal competition. What was supposed to be a matter that would be over in a few months turned into a stalemate halfway through the competition.

This stalemate lasted for three whole years.

...........................................

"minister"

"Oh, welcome back."

Sasha greeted the Seraphim with a smile: "How did it go? Which side won?"

"Both sides suffered heavy losses, so they agreed to fight again in a hundred years."

Natalia looked rather helpless: "You've been away for quite a while this time. Did you encounter any problems at work?"

"No, no, what problems could there be with each batch of reports?"

After a pause, Sasha said with some difficulty, "But Natalia, when you're not around, it's really hard to be in two places at once."

"Commander"

"Oh, I'm sorry, it should be Deputy Minister Natalia."

The Seraph nodded: "You just mentioned being unable to be in two places at once, what exactly did you mean?"

"Haha, Vice Minister, take a look at this."

After taking the colorful flyer and studying it carefully for a while, Natalia looked at Sasha, puzzled.

"Grand opening sale at the department store! All items up to 10% off?"

"kindness"

"Normal shopping activities do not violate any prohibitions, so you can go wherever you like after get off work."

"The problem is that I have to go there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow morning, and the round trip will take up a lot of time."

"I have a lot of official business to attend to tomorrow, so I'm really stretched thin!"

Seeing Natalia frown, the little girl quickly explained, "Don't be so quick to judge me, I have plenty of reasons!"

"Oh? Then please explain why you would skip work just to attend that ribbon-cutting ceremony?"

................................................

“Vice Minister, I’m not going there for nothing.”

“Go there, and the big boss will give me this much.” The girl held up two fingers.

"You went out to earn extra money during work hours?!"

"No, no, no, I'm raising funds for our department."

Sasha's expression turned serious: "All proceeds will be confiscated to alleviate the growing financial burden on the Ministry of Ideological Education."

"..."

"Minister, before I left, the Ministry of Ideological Education was well-funded and operating smoothly."

"How come there's a huge funding gap in the department after just three years?"

Natalia exuded an immense sense of oppression: "I need an explanation."

"Vice Minister, you are in a high position but you don't know the suffering of the people."

The young woman sighed and said, "Do you know how hard it is for those at the bottom? It's unbelievable that such a big department like ours can't even provide basic employee benefits!"

"Indulging in pleasure will only lead to depravity; a good comrade is one who has honed his noble character through hardship."

"Hehe, if you say it like that, you're putting yourself in opposition to the vast majority of comrades."

Sasha shrugged: "Comrades who work so hard for the department deserve to be rewarded."

"We need it spiritually, but we need it even more materially."

"Minister, your current thinking is dangerous."

Natalia's eyes flashed with a sharp glint: "Give me a detailed list of the new expenses, immediately!"

"Look, it's all ready."

The young girl pulled open a drawer and personally handed the Seraphim a detailed statement of expenses for the past three years.

"The accounts are open and transparent, and you can check them at will."

After frowning and reading through the expense details from beginning to end, Natalia stated directly: "I object."

"Of all the departments, our department has the worst benefits and compensation!"

"Is it that Prince Hill is refusing to allocate funds, or is Lord Rodriguez making things difficult for us?"

Sasha suddenly pointed at the Seraphim's nose and started yelling, "Natalia, you incompetent vice minister! You don't fight for what you should fight for, and every time benefits come your way, you push them away!"

"You call it protecting the purity of comrades, but you're just a selfish person."

"Am I selfish?"

After being scolded by the little girl, the Seraph also lost her temper.

"I have nothing to lose, I have nothing to be ashamed of, and I have dedicated my life to the department without any regrets. You call me selfish?"

"Oppressing everyone is selfish!"

"I don't!"

"You do have it, humph, I know it. Ever since your sister had that accident, you've developed delusions, you've been possessed."

"You can't stand seeing other angels having an even slightly better life, otherwise you feel uncomfortable all over."

"You're mentally ill; you're the one who should be sent to Heimla Fortress!"

'Sister' 'possessed' 'mentally ill' 'Heimla Fortress'...

The little girl's words tore a deep wound in Natalia's heart, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Shut up!"

boom!

The poor Minister of Ideological Education was shoved away by the Seraph in his anger.

"..."

Natalia's expression shifted as she stared at the large hole in the wall.

For a deputy minister to directly attack a minister is a serious matter.

...........................................

"Saliye, I've come to see you again!"

Buffa placed a basket of fruit in the corner, looked at the little girl lying on the bed wrapped in bandages, and couldn't help but grin.

"Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of this? Natalia only gave you a light push."

"Pah! You call that a light touch? My whole body felt like it was falling apart!"

"Hehe, even though my whole body is falling apart, it's already the fifth day."

"You're an angel, how come you're still not healed from such a small injury?"

"I won't be alright until Natalia's punishment is announced!"

Volume 1: Chapter 357 Poverty

"The punishment results are out. Lord Rodriguez will tell you when he comes to visit you later."

"What punishment?" Sasha asked quickly.

"Suspend you for five years, compensate you with 6,000 merits, and issue a public apology."

Oh? A five-year suspension is a good punishment.
