Then let the witch offer her loyalty

At this point, his gaze and tone became serious: "Don't you dare have any wicked thoughts about Luo Lingyou!"

"If you want to get close to her, or try to curry favor with her, that's fine, I understand."

"But you must never be like those young people in our unit, trying to curry favor in that way."

“I know she’s very beautiful and attractive to young people, but you two are from completely different worlds. The gap between you and her is probably greater than the gap between you and a beggar on the street.”

"If you get any wicked ideas and get involved in any romantic entanglements with the children of such important people, your future will most likely be ruined."

To be honest, Chen Moxin only intended to get acquainted with Luo Lingyou to make things easier for future work; she had no other intentions.

Now that I hear it, I realize her background is incredibly impressive.

We'll have to have a more in-depth discussion now!

Chapter 24 Chen Moxin is exposed!

"Yes, yes, Luo is right, I understand."

Luo Shoucheng didn't know whether Chen Moxin was just being perfunctory or had actually taken it to heart.

Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. I have no relation to Chen Moxin. I just thought this young man had potential, so I gave him some life advice.

If he doesn't listen to advice, there's nothing I can do to help him.

Luo Shoucheng used his nose to slightly relieve his craving for cigarettes and continued eating.

While eating, Chen Moxin suddenly chuckled and said, "Team Leader Luo, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Luo Shoucheng, a seasoned veteran in the workplace, could tell at a glance that the smile meant someone wanted something from him.

"What is it? Tell me."

"We have a performance review for non-permanent staff members at the end of this month. Would it be convenient for you to add someone to the team?"

Getting promoted to a permanent position is a very common occurrence, whether in private companies, public institutions, or government agencies directly under the administration.

In the Administration Bureau, the first step to becoming a permanent staff member is nomination.

Those who have served for three years and have performed well, or those who have served for less than three years but have made significant contributions, may be nominated by the bureau to participate in the assessment for formal employment.

As a team leader in the Seventh Special Investigation Division, Luo Shoucheng naturally had the authority to nominate candidates.

He looked at Chen Moxin, deep in thought.

Given Chen Moxin's situation, he does indeed meet the condition of "having served in office for less than three years but having made significant contributions".

The problem is that the competition to become a permanent employee is extremely fierce.

For top-tier departments like the Administration Bureau, people from all walks of life are scrambling to get in.

Chen Moxin did make a significant contribution to this case, but his tenure was too short, only three months at most.

If Chen Moxin had been working for several years and had sufficient experience, plus this achievement, Luo Shoucheng believed that he would definitely be able to secure a permanent position.

Three months is really too short; I've never seen a case where someone who was not on the official payroll was promoted to a permanent position after three months.

And to put it bluntly, sometimes background is more important than ability.

This has been the case in previous years. Some non-staff agents, despite not having any outstanding performances, still manage to outdo those with good resumes. These people usually have powerful backers.

Agents like Chen Moxin, who come from ordinary families, have neither connections nor background, so they are likely to be cannon fodder if nominated.

Of course, Luo Shoucheng couldn't say these things to Chen Moxin directly, so he could only try to probe indirectly: "Little Chen, are you planning to stay in the Administration Bureau until the end?"

"Actually, the work here isn't as good as you imagine. You've experienced it firsthand during this operation; danger is always with us."

"Given your potential, have you considered other affiliated units? I can write you a letter of recommendation; those places would be less stressful."

Chen Moxin's eyes shone brightly as she said in an unwavering tone, "Team Leader Luo, joining the Administration Bureau has been my dream since I was a child. I only want to shine in this position and dedicate my youth to the Empire!"

Seeing that Chen Moxin's gaze was so intense it was almost suffocating, Luo Shoucheng nodded slightly.

You have ambition.

I just don't know if you can handle the blow if you get eliminated.

Since the nomination was within his authority, Luo Shoucheng did not refuse.

However, these seasoned middle-aged professionals will not miss any opportunity to curry favor.

He pretended to look troubled and kept pondering, giving the impression that it was something difficult to handle.

After a long pause, he slapped his thigh as if he had made up his mind: "Alright, although you haven't been in office for very long, I'll nominate you for this meritorious service."

Chen Moxin saw through Luo Shoucheng's little scheme, but it was harmless. She responded with gratitude, "Thank you, Team Leader Luo."

Luo Shoucheng waved his hand: "Let me remind you first, I am only responsible for the nomination, the subsequent selection is not my responsibility."

"The competition for permanent positions is fierce, and there are only a few spots available. I can't say for sure whether you'll be able to get one in the end."

Chen Moxin said frankly, "I understand, I will try my best."

So what if the competition is fierce?

If I eliminate the person competing with me, won't I be promoted?

Thinking of this, he smiled brightly.

...

After finishing her meal, Chen Moxin took a taxi home.

He changed into loose-fitting clothes to cover the bandages from his gunshot wounds.

Old Chen never wanted him to work at the Administration Bureau. If Old Chen finds out that he was shot during a mission, it will probably cause an uproar.

Upon arriving at the main building of the manor, Chen Moxin had just opened the door when she heard a series of hurried footsteps.

Dong Xiaobai rushed over in a panic: "Young Master, run! Master went to get the rolling pin!"

Before Chen Moxin could react, Chen Wenzhe's furious roar came from the other end of the corridor: "Chen! Mo! Xin!!!"

Dong Xiaobai was startled and quickly pushed Chen Moxin to the corner of the wall, hugged his head, and shielded him with her body with her back to him.

It's also interesting to say.

Girls naturally develop earlier than boys.

When they were little, whenever Chen Moxin made a mistake and was about to get a beating, Dong Xiaobai would hug him like this, protecting him tightly so that the old man couldn't hit him.

Even after they grew up, Dong Xiaobai had good genes and grew taller than Chen Moxin, but she was still able to protect him just like she did when they were children.

Chen Moxin was suddenly pinned against the wall, and she was a little stunned, not knowing why she was going to be beaten up after coming home from work.

Chen Wenzhe came running from the other end of the corridor, and sure enough, he was holding a rolling pin.

"Chen Moxin! You, you, you, you, you... do you want me to be childless?!"

He tried to slap Chen Moxin several times, but because Dong Xiaobai was protecting her, he couldn't find the right angle.

He roared furiously, "You unfilial son, if you have the guts, don't hide behind Xiaobai! I'll beat you to death today!"

Chen Moxin peeked out from Dong Xiaobai's shoulder and asked cautiously, "Old Chen, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so angry? You need a reason to hit someone, right?"

"You want a reason, huh?" Chen Wenzhe pointed a rolling pin at his nose. "I'm asking you, what have you been doing these past two days?"

"I..." Chen Moxin blinked, lying without batting an eye, "I've been chasing girls all this time. I've spent all 500 million you gave me. Aren't I amazing? Haha."

"Chasing girls?!" Chen Wenzhe shouted, pointing at the living room TV. "You've made the headlines for chasing girls, haven't you?!"

Chen Moxin looked at the television.

At that moment, the TV was showing the evening news, specifically a segment about the Zhang Hao case at Sunflower Kindergarten, and it happened to be showing the scene of Chen Moxin coming out of the kindergarten.

In the video, he is wearing a hoodie and a hoodie, being led away from the crowd by Luo Shoucheng.

Chen Moxin grinned shamelessly and said, "Hey, who's that guy in the hood? He looks pretty cool."

"You've put on an act again?!" Chen Wenzhe pretended to hit her again, but Chen Moxin had already shrank back into Dong Xiaobai's arms.

Having dodged the attack, Chen Moxin poked his head out again like a groundhog and asked, "Old Chen, I'm wearing a hat and my face isn't showing, how can you recognize me?"

Chen Wenzhe glared at him and said, "Nonsense! I raised you from the bottom of my heart! So what if you haven't shown your face? I can recognize you just by standing there and taking a couple of steps!"

Chen Moxin couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

This is ridiculous!

Despite all the precautions, they couldn't stop Old Chen's sharp eyes.

Now look what's happened! His own father found out he was secretly stealing someone else's wife!

Chapter 25 has mentioned it countless times: applying for World Heritage status!

Facing Chen Wenzhe, whose eyes were blazing with anger, Chen Moxin coughed lightly: "Old Chen, let me explain... no... let me explain."

"I swear on my honor, I really did spend the weekend with a girl, I'm not lying to you. It's just that the girl has a fiancé. It was like a minotaur versus a pure love warrior, and we ended up fighting."

Chen Wenzhe's gaze turned strange after hearing this: "Wait a minute, is that girl you're talking about a witch? Did you go catch a witch when you asked me for money over the weekend?"

The news was irrefutable, so Chen Moxin couldn't deny it and could only obediently say "uh-huh".

Chen Wenzhe felt his vision go black and his blood pressure spike.

I used to hear stories of people who forgot their original aspirations, lost themselves, and misused public funds after entering the system.

My own son, on the other hand, has been using public funds for personal purposes.

Using family money to catch a witch, Chen Moxin, you really know what you're doing.

Seeing that Chen Wenzhe was almost unable to stand, Dong Xiaobai quickly helped him back to the sofa and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, sir, it's good that the young master is back safe and sound."

Chen Wenzhe said through gritted teeth, his face grim: "Chen Moxin, it was all on TV that the other party was an illegal psychic and had a gun. You barely survived to kill that man."

"Don't you think this kind of thing is especially glorious and fun?!"

Chen Moxin recalled the process: "Whether it's glorious or not is another matter..."

"It's really fun!"

Seeing Chen Wenzhe clutching his temples in pain, Dong Xiao rolled her eyes and quickly shook her head at Chen Moxin, signaling him to stop arguing with the master.

Chen Moxin touched the bridge of her nose, her tone becoming more serious: "Old Chen, I know you're worried about me, but I've grown up now, you don't need to protect me like a fledgling anymore."

"I've made up my mind about this path, and I plan to work in the Bureau for the rest of my life. As for your personal safety, don't worry, I'm super strong, and I definitely won't let you worry about me anymore."

"Alright, I'm going back to my room to rest now. Don't keep reading these exaggerated reports; those reporters believe everything they hear."

"An agent encountering a criminal is such a simple thing, but they've made it sound like a mess. They must be studying journalism."

Chen Moxin took the remote control and put on a comedy movie for Old Chen to liven things up, then jogged upstairs.

Chen Wenzhe turned off the TV, closed his eyes, and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Dong Xiaobai is a reserved and introverted girl. When her father and son quarrel, she doesn't know what to say and can only stand there blankly.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Wenzhe sighed deeply, took out a blood pressure pill from the drawer, and swallowed it with the water that Dong Xiaobai handed him.

After taking his medicine, he leaned back on the sofa, rubbing his temples and muttering, "It's my fault. It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly before. I spoiled him too much when he was little."

"We always indulged him in studying hard and making progress every day, so he didn't develop the good habit of indulging in playthings and neglecting his studies."

Dong Xiaobai tilted her head to the side and didn't dare to speak.

"Sigh, I only have one son. What if something happens to him in the future? How am I supposed to face his deceased mother..."

"No, we have to find a way to make him change his mind."

At this point, Chen Wenzhe glanced at Dong Xiaobai, as if he had reached a certain conclusion in his heart.

"Xiao Bai, go to his room tonight and make him strong!"

"......?" Dong Xiaobai was completely dumbfounded.

"what?"

Chen Wenzhe sneered: "A good-for-nothing like this, who has never been in a relationship, has probably never even kissed a girl, let alone slept with one. He only knows how to play mobile games and act crazy with his virtual characters. He can't even talk to a girl in real life. He's a complete social idiot."

"He just doesn't know how pleasurable it is to sleep with girls. If he did, he wouldn't be so eager to work like a slave for his company."

“If you go and strengthen him today, turn him into a real man, I guarantee that he will never again be so addicted to being a slave. He will definitely quit his job and turn over a new leaf.”

Dong Xiaobai's bewildered eyes trembled incessantly, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. A blush spread across her face like a rosy sunset, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "I...I..."
