So I'm a sheep.

"Eh"

"After reviewing my basic file, many places simply didn't dare to accept me."

"Back then, when I had nowhere to find a job, I was so grateful to you..."

Volume 1: Chapter 358 Disconnection

Natalia was very grateful to her station manager.

If she hadn't lent a helping hand back then, how would I have repaid the compensation of six thousand merits?

'Treating the angel who helped me to a meal is no problem, especially since I'm currently on suspension and don't need to worry too much.'

After having a pleasant meal together and adjusting her mindset, Natalia returned to the Ministry of Ideological Education early the next morning.

"Good morning, sir!"

"kindness"

"Welcome back, sir!"

"it is good"

“That’s Deputy Minister Natalia, quickly bow.”

The newly arrived angel, reminded by his seniors, hurriedly bowed and greeted the seraphim.

'So many new faces...and many familiar comrades are gone too, have they all been transferred?'

Before even stepping into her office, Natalia's mood turned somber.

"minister"

"Oh, Comrade Natalia, welcome back to your post!" The young girl greeted her warmly.

"I will transfer the last 1,200 merit points to you immediately."

"and......"

After taking two steps back, the Seraphim bowed deeply to Sasha.

"I once again express my sincerest apologies for my offense that day."

"Haha, you don't need to apologize every time you transfer my merit points, that's enough, that's enough."

The little girl smiled and said, "Natalia, you should feel right at home back at the Ministry of Ideological Education."

"You seemed quite happy when you had dinner with your coworkers yesterday, so why did you have such a long face when you got home?"

"..."

"Minister, I've always had this expression."

The seraph said calmly, "The angel who was watching me must have misjudged me."

"Sigh, what are you saying!"

"A comrade just happened to be passing by where you were having a meal, and he told me about it this morning."

Sasha patted Natalia's designated seat: "Sit down, I'll throw you a welcome party after get off work."

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

There's absolutely no need for that.

Natalia said in a cold tone, "Today's work is bound to be heavy, Minister. Let's begin."

"Oh"

The girl shrugged, sat back in her seat, and began quickly reviewing reports.

After waiting a while, seeing Sasha engrossed in her work, Natalia took the initiative to walk over to the little girl and opened a completed report to read.

Seraphim has been out of touch with the Ministry of Ideological Education for five years, and she urgently needs intelligence to understand the department's current situation.

"..."

"minister"

"Ok?"

"What is written on this?"

Looking at the scribbles-like 'writing' above, Natalia was bewildered.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you."

"To enhance confidentiality and to prevent any accidents during the transmission of intelligence, I promoted encrypted communication to the entire department five years ago."

“Ciphertext, these… these unintelligible patterns?”

"The angels I don't understand look like scribbles, but to me they're something else entirely."

"But we angels already have our own encryption language. Isn't it a bit redundant for you to create some kind of ciphertext?"

"how come"

The young woman smiled and said, "Which high angel wouldn't understand plain encryption? It doesn't meet our department's needs at all."

Natalia thought about it carefully and had to admit that her minister had come up with a good idea.

However, the timing of the appearance of this cipher text...

"Haha, don't worry, I only shared the Level 1 cipher with the entire department."

Sasha said seriously, "There are also Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5. Only reliable comrades can master these."

"The people in the department are all reliable," Natalia replied casually.

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."

The young girl nodded repeatedly: "Alright, I'll get back to work. You can do as you please, Vice Minister."

As she spoke, Sasha resumed her work.

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

"Ding ding ding ding, it's time to leave work! It's time to leave work!"

'Ding ding ding ding, repeating: It's time to leave work! It's time to leave work! All angels, please leave the Ideological Education Department within twenty minutes.'

When Sasha's personally recorded "off-get off work bell" rang, the atmosphere in the entire department immediately relaxed.

"get off work"

"Want to come with me to get my hair done on the way?"

"OK"

I promised to treat you to dinner last time.

"let's go!"

The little girl ran happily toward the door, but was suddenly stopped by the Seraphim.

"minister"

"what?"

"Now that I won't interrupt your work, please teach me the cipher text."

"..."

"Vice Minister, although you're not interfering with my work right now, you're making it harder for me to get off work."

The little girl said hesitantly, "Let's do it another day."

"When?"

"Another day"

"When is 'another day'?"

"Another day is another day."

Sasha bypassed Natalia and ran out of the room: "See you soon!"

"..."

You think you can stump me with a set of ciphertexts? If you won't teach me, other angels will.

Natalia was initially full of confidence, but after a month of doing nothing, she began to get anxious.

'I managed to shake off all the monitors, disguised myself, and tried to contact them under a different identity, so why is there no response at all?'

"They received a warning, huh?"

"What!?"

Natalia looked up abruptly, staring at the little girl: "Minister, what warning did you just give?"

“Vice Minister, your social circle is extremely narrow. You can only contact a handful of angels.”

The little girl said lazily, "I warned them before you came back that leaking confidential information is not as simple as being blacklisted, hehe."

"I never imagined you were such an angel!"

"So you think there's absolutely no problem with leaking confidential documents in private?" Sasha countered.

"..."

"Stop glaring at me like that, I have an idea for you."

The girl suggested, "I don't have time to teach you right now, but you can learn nearby."

"Visit other offices more often; they all know how to use Level 1 ciphers."

"So if they teach me, it doesn't count as leaking secrets?"

"If I agree to something, then it doesn't count as a leak."

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

After a few days of stalemate with the young girl, Natalia had to give in to reality.

Comrade
