Chapter 3: The Rogue Department Head

  "How is it?" Aunt Zhang asked immediately.

  "What a benefit! It's really beneficial!" Chen Chong exclaimed.

  Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

  "What's wrong?" Aunt Zhang immediately asked again.

  "He's like a tapeworm in my belly! He knows exactly how I feel." Chen Chong explained.

  "Hey! What's the big deal? He can tell by your expression already!" Little Li said nonchalantly.

  Chen Chong thought for a moment and felt that Little Li also made sense: "Anyway, I think he's a bit different from others." But he still said so.

  "Was he always so different?" Zhang Yi said disapprovingly.

  "But I think he really is a big rascal, just like those who mix with the underworld." Chen Chong said again.

  "Hmm! I think he really was involved with the underworld before?" Little Li joked.

  "Alright, stop gossiping! He is our leader after all, we can't speak ill of him." Zhang Yi reminded them as she said.

  "Ah! That's right, he said there was a meeting this afternoon!" Chen Chong suddenly woke up and said.

  "Alright! Let's see what he has to say this afternoon then!" Zhang Yi finally said.

  "But I already know what he's going to say this afternoon!" Chen Chong said.

  "Do you know what he will say?" Zhang Yi asked back.

  "He asked us not to chat idly when we go to work in the future! During working hours, we must get things done!" Chen Chong said.

  "New official takes office and sets three fires?" Little Li blurted out as soon as he heard it.

  "What's the big deal? Is he going to control us to death? Can we still have a good life in the future? No way, we must think of a solution!" Little Xu said with an indignant expression.

  "Right! We can't let him say whatever he wants and get away with it! He just arrived and already made our lives miserable, what's the point of that?" Little Li agreed.

  "What do you think we should do?" Chen Chong asked.

  "What else can we do?!" Aunt Zhang suggested.

  "But----" Chen Chong hesitated and said.

  "What's wrong? Chen Lao Da, are you afraid?" Zhang Yi asked, seeing Chen Chong hesitate.

  "Yes, I'm really scared! I'm afraid he'll really come after us with a knife like some kind of gangster!" Chen Chung admitted.

  "What nonsense is this? This is a national organ! Give him some guts and he wouldn't dare to behave like this!" Zhang Yi said.

  "Hey! This is also hard to say! Look at him, he looks like a triad member!" Little Li joked.

  "Alright! Stop making such jokes! Let's be serious, how can we oppose this kid fixing us?" Zhang Yi said with a serious expression as she saw them starting to joke around.

  "But are we really going to rebel against him?" Chen Chong asked with a hint of fear.

  "We must rebel, we must! If he wants to control us to death, then we must rebel!" Zhang Yi said firmly.

  "But how can this be refuted? Others must have their own reasons!" Chen Chong brought up another issue.

  "This way!" Zhang Yi heard Chen Chong say this and started thinking. Then she said: "Anyway, if we unite to oppose him, he won't be able to do anything to us!"

  "Good! Let's do it!" Little Li also agreed after hearing this.

  "Alright!" Xiaoxu also agreed.

  "Whatever you say goes!" Li Xiaoqian said, changing her tune on the spot.

  Chen Chong saw that they all agreed and also nodded his head. "Sigh! --- Alright!" He also agreed.

  "Alright, we must unanimously and firmly oppose him!" Zhang Yi finally decided.

  By the time it was afternoon, colleagues all came to the conference room with a heavy heart because they were going to oppose their leader now, which was an unforgivable thing. After arriving at the conference room, they found that the new department head had already been sitting in the host's seat waiting for them. The new leader sat there very leisurely, as if he had nothing to do.

  Colleagues sat down. The new leader glanced at them and spoke up. "I know you don't obey me, and even want to oppose me! But I tell you, no matter how much you oppose me, I will still persist!" He declared first.

  Colleagues were shocked when they heard him say that! They didn't understand how he knew they would oppose him. Was someone leaking the news? They thought to themselves. And after hearing what their new leader said, they all fell silent.

  The new leader saw that they didn't speak up, so he continued to say: "I think I've said what I wanted to say, and you all know it too. Alright then! You just go ahead and share your opinions!"

  Colleagues looked at each other after hearing him say that, and then they all cast their eyes on Zhang Yi. In their opinion, it was time for Zhang Yi to speak up for them. Zhang Yi naturally understood what they meant, and having no choice, she steeled herself and spoke up. "Section Chief, whatever you say goes!" she said. Her words shocked the others, who were not only extremely surprised but also very disappointed. They had not expected her to be the first to surrender.

  "Alright! Does anyone else have an opinion?" The new department head asked again.

  "I do!" Little Li suddenly raised his hand and said. Everyone listened intently to him, thinking: Young people are indeed young people, they like to show off, but you don't even know how to write the word "death"!

  "Alright! You go ahead and speak!" The new department head said.

  "I think we can't chat idly during work hours, and we must do things during work hours. Moreover, we must be on time for work and cannot leave early." Little Li also expressed his opinion.

  Everyone was shocked and disappointed again. They thought to themselves: Not only did this kid surrender, but he even helped him repair us to please him.

  "Alright! Xiao Li's suggestion has been adopted." The new department head agreed immediately.

  "Section Chief, I also have a suggestion!" Little Xu said. Everyone's gaze focused on him once again after hearing this.

  "Alright, speak!" said the new department head.

  "I suggest, we should go to the countryside more often! Do a good job of popularizing the law at the grassroots level!" Little Xu suggested. The crowd was shocked again after hearing this. Going to the countryside frequently, always running to the grassroots level, isn't this going to cost them their lives? This Little Xu is willing to sacrifice everything just to please him. They thought to themselves.

  "Good, Xiao Xu's suggestion is also adopted." The section chief agreed.

  "I also have an idea!" Chen Chong said.

  "Hmm! Speak!" said Section Chief.

  "I suggest that we use all of next month's bonuses to donate to the rural Hope Primary School!" Chen Chong said his suggestion out loud.

  "Wow! ---" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they heard this. They thought to themselves: Chen Chong is so eager to please him that he's even taken out his capital.

  "Good! Chen Chong's suggestion was also adopted." The section chief naturally agreed too.

  Inside the meeting room, the crows and sparrows fell silent. Everyone lowered their heads, no one dared to speak again, because if they spoke once more, they would lose again. The section chief saw that they were not speaking, but he did speak. "Is there anyone who still has any suggestions?" he asked.

  "It's all gone! It's all gone!" Everyone chimed in unison after being asked by Section Chief.
