Chapter 2 General Cleaning
"Section Chief, you are really good at using your brain, but I don't know what your actual combat skills are." Nolbe said.
"It's okay, why do you want to practice with me?" Annick glanced at this guy. He is half a cultivator and half a transcendent. When fighting at the same level, except for a few guys with weird abilities, normal people are completely different.
Don't be afraid, if the worst happens, just run away instantly.
"No, no, I'm just a loser in fighting. I mean, do you think you'd better not stay on duty here till night?"
Norbert seemed to have something in his words, but he didn't say it clearly. Annick was a little dizzy. He sat on the sofa in Merlin's office and asked: "There are only four of us here, and there is also a police officer?"
"Oh, you're talking about Matthew, it's her turn to go out today and Wednesday to deal with the case reported to us. By the way, section chief, there are 4 of us and 5 of us."
"Five people?" Annick asked before he took the coffee from Merlin and drank it.
"Yes, Matthew's situation is a bit special. After the sun goes down and before the sun rises the next day, she seems to have changed. She calls herself Marlene and is Matthew's sister. Not only does her personality change
The color has also changed."
"Pfft." Annick spit out the coffee in his mouth.
"Mr. Merlin, your coffee is too bitter. Is it without sugar?"
Using the bitterness of the coffee to hide his embarrassment, Norbert finally found a chance to take revenge and spoke.
"This guy said that it is easy to make mistakes when studying some unpopular rituals and magic. In order to prevent himself from summoning demons or accidentally sacrificing his life, he drinks concentrated coffee to stay awake at all times."
Annick took out his handkerchief to wipe away the coffee that had sprayed on the coffee table, and added some boiled water to his own coffee to dilute the bitter taste.
"Then it seems that Mr. Merlin, you haven't prepared any cane sugar, right? I'll go to the purchasing point in the future. By the way, don't we have the finances? Have we hired someone to renovate the office building?"
"There is no finance, and no one from the Ninth Section comes to visit anyway. The main purpose of setting up the Ninth Section is to keep an eye on Dawn Morning Star and the others and prevent them from messing up." Merlin explained.
Annick felt that he had fallen into a trap and asked, "So no one cares about your wages, duty hours, and fund procurement?"
"We still have wages, and someone will send them to us at the end of each month. As for the funds, no one has approved them for us without the section chief. We are on duty. Anyway, the three of us don't have anything else to do. We basically spend the whole week here.
After all, in winter, heating coal is provided here for free, and these two guys even stayed here."
Annick shook his head, "When that Matthew comes back, I'll treat you to a meal, and by the way, we can establish a reasonable work and rest system, so that we can work every day and have at least 2 days of rest every week."
"No problem, section chief, you and Matthew are in the same class, and the old man and I are in the same class."
"You are the old man, but your suggestion is good. Section Chief, you and Matthew should be in the same class."
It seems that both of them are afraid of this Matthew? Annick smiled bitterly. Is he a schizophrenic, a bomb lover, and a seasoned fisherman? His subordinates are really special.
"Okay, please do me a favor and clean my office together."
"Okay, Nol Bernardo, the cleaning tool. He often has to clean up the rags he made."
The office opposite Merlin is still very spacious. The predecessors purchased a lot of office supplies, a walnut desk, and a brown leather sofa. It is much more luxurious than the clerk's office in the port branch. There is even a desk by the window. There is a glass bathtub, but not to mention the fish, there is not even a grain of sand in it.
"Ahem." There was a lot of dust. It seemed that these two guys were not kidding. The section chief's office had indeed not been used for half a year. Norbert brought a broom, rag and feather duster.
Annick took the rag and asked: "Let's divide the work and finish cleaning up quickly. Where will you finish lunch at noon?"
Merlin answered while scanning: "This is a rare residential area in the North District. The other places are industrial areas. There are still many small restaurants. In the morning, a waiter from a restaurant will come to collect what we want to eat, and they will prepare it. It will be delivered.”
"Are we the only ones worthy of their visit?" Annick asked doubtfully.
"Diagonally opposite 100 yards is Koch Industries and the office building of the Bavarian Machinery Manufacturing Factory. The main restaurant here is next to them. We are just passing by. Of course, there are more small restaurants and cafes. Section Chief, you My salary and worth are not enough to eat in a greasy restaurant with ordinary workers."
What do you mean by my net worth? But black people are rich. Annick’s current weekly salary is ten pounds, plus various allowances and bonuses, which is a full annual salary of four hundred pounds. And he doesn’t have to pay taxes. He is already a senior doctor. with the annual salary of senior staff.
"Tsk, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for lunch. The budget is 5 pounds."
"The section chief is indeed very generous. I made a profit today. I haven't had a good meal for a long time." Norbert shouted happily.
"You have a good weekly salary, right? The meal I'm giving you is less than 2 pounds per person, do you need to be so happy?"
When Norbert heard this, he said directly: "My weekly salary is 8 pounds, and the old man should have 9 pounds."
Merlin explained: "It's just a long service. I still have three children to raise, so I have to save money."
After Merlin finished speaking, he pointed at Norbert and said, "This guy spends all his money on extraordinary materials and chemical materials. He is almost thirty years old and still hasn't gotten married."
Norbert rolled his eyes at Merlin and said, "What do you know? I want to make a new type of bomb that combines runes and chemistry. It's so powerful. A bomb as big as this can blow up the entire Eggsburg."
Let me go, does this guy want to build a harmony bomb? Fortunately, no one has even proposed an atomic nuclear model, otherwise Annick would not want to be baptized by nuclear radiation every day.
"These are not important. When will Miss Matthew come back? I'm a little hungry, and I need your help to familiarize me with the neighborhood."
Annick said, the first thing he needs now is to establish a good relationship with them and get familiar with them. The experience of survival in the workplace in the 21st century on earth is that a new leader must integrate into the group as soon as possible, otherwise he will easily be ignored or excluded. outside the circle.
Merlin glanced at his pocket watch and said, "It's 11:40 in the morning. This guy should be back too. Marlene's personality is to fight violence and bring peace to the people. Matthew should be very docile. Did something happen?"
Norbert patted his head: "Merlin, have you forgotten that this guy can switch personalities when he drinks too much?"
Merlin smiled and said: "Ah, those little gangsters and gang members have suffered a lot."
"Ah ah ah, it hurts, it hurts, please be gentle, ancestor."
"Spare us."
