Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!
Chapter 4: Performance Challenge
"You cowardly Shen!" Wen Tao, realizing he was in the wrong, had no choice but to point at Long Aotian's nose and threaten, "Don't be arrogant. With your trashy attitude, your monthly performance review will definitely be zero! When you're kicked out of the Zhenye Division, let's see how arrogant you'll still be then!"
"Tch, just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Fiji Cup!" Long Aotian spat at Wen Songtao's retreating figure, venting his anger before turning to Jiang Beichuan beside him. "Um, Beichuan, what exactly is this performance evaluation?"
Jiang Beichuan was speechless, staring at Long Aotian.
Long Aotian understood instantly and immediately raised his hand.
"Give me a moment."
"what?"
Long Aotian closed his eyes tightly, and sure enough, memories of the performance evaluation immediately surfaced in his mind.
In the town's Night Division, in addition to the monthly salary, there is also a monthly performance evaluation linked to the extra salary. All matters, big and small, that occur in the jurisdiction can be recorded in the performance evaluation.
Performance evaluations are further divided into three categories: white, yellow, and red.
The first category of performance evaluation includes routine tasks such as finding lost items and mediating disputes.
The second category of yellow performance evaluation is the arrest and prosecution of murderers or criminals whenever a murder or other crime occurs within the jurisdiction.
The third category of red performance evaluation is the most special, consisting of various tasks assigned by the royal family. These tasks are rare, but when they do occur, they represent the best opportunity for promotion!
Note (White performance evaluations have no grade distinctions, but yellow and red performance evaluations are divided into levels 1, 2, and 3, with level 3 representing the highest level of achievement.)
wipe,
At first glance, this seems quite similar to performance evaluation, doesn't it?
The fact that Wen Songtao said he would be removed from the Zhenye Division at the end of the month due to non-compliance with performance evaluations is actually a rule in the Celestial Empire to prevent people from slacking off and doing nothing.
However, these rules are rigid, but people are flexible. When you're out in the world, you need to be mindful of social interactions. So, although this rule has always existed, very few people have actually been removed from the Night Watch Division for failing to meet performance standards.
The reason why Long Aotian was targeted by them using such a monstrous method is quite obvious and needs no further explanation.
In short, he must complete thirty white-category performance evaluations or one first-level yellow-category performance evaluation before the end of the month in order to keep his job.
Otherwise, if he is really expelled from the Town Night Division at the end of the month and loses this dog skin, he will truly become a lamb to the slaughter, and he doesn't even dare to imagine what he will suffer...
Thinking about it this way, ancient times weren't actually as good as he imagined. Without Uncle Hat and without any power or influence, if he were killed and became a weed under the city wall, no one would even know...
Here, human life is truly as worthless as grass.
Having learned the general rules of the performance evaluation, Long Aotian opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Beichuan beside him, and said with his usual confidence, "Alright, let's go, little brother. Watch your brother Long lead you to sweep through Causeway Bay!"
“My lord, please address me as Beichuan.” Jiang Beichuan clasped his hands in greeting. “And… Causeway Bay, which district is that? I’ve never heard of it before.”
Long Aotian was so overjoyed that he almost forgot he had traveled to ancient times. He quickly clenched his fist and put it to his lips, "Ahem... Don't worry about that, just come with me."
"Yes, as ordered."
The two left the Zhenye Division around six or seven in the morning and went to the area under Shen Congxin's jurisdiction, which was near the dock in the south of Qianzhou City.
For some reason, although he was only a chief inspector, the area under his jurisdiction was much larger than that of others.
Although the South City Wharf cannot compare to the East City Wharf, Qianzhou City is located south of the Celestial Empire, and its water transport is very convenient. The South City Wharf should be a place where all sorts of people mingle, making it the best place to complete performance evaluations.
But today, as if cursed, they wandered around this huge place all morning, until the sun was high overhead and the two of them were drenched in sweat, yet nothing happened.
"Oh dear, I'm exhausted. I've been busy all morning and haven't accomplished anything..." After walking around the area all morning without anything happening, Long Aotian had no choice but to bring Jiang Beichuan to Manager Jin's teahouse for a break.
"Sir Shen, you haven't even settled your bill for the last drink yet, why are you here again?" Manager Jin walked over with a pot of wine and a plate of fennel beans, still looking at him with a bad attitude, "You are, after all, the chief inspector, surely you can afford to pay for these few drinks."
Faced with Manager Jin's ridicule, Long Aotian didn't say anything, but just chuckled and said next time.
He had no choice but to come to Manager Jin's place. Jiang Beichuan was like his apprentice, running around with him all morning. If he didn't show some appreciation, wouldn't that be inappropriate?
Even the most ruthless capitalists of the 20th century had at least a half-hour or an-hour tea break!
Moreover,
He was new to this world, and having more people around him meant having more options. He had high hopes for Jiang Beichuan!
But Manager Jin was still dissatisfied. He rubbed his face and muttered, "Next time and next time again, no wonder your wife ran off with someone else when you've become like this..."
Hearing his words, Long Aotian felt very uncomfortable, but he knew that he was in the wrong and had nothing to say.
That's sometimes how it is; when you're doing well, everyone tries to curry favor with you.
But once you fall on hard times, the people around you will treat you worse than a dog!
This is a truth that Long Aotian only came to understand after experiencing many ups and downs in his middle age.
Manager Jin is a decent person, though he can be a bit sarcastic. Long Aotian has a good attitude and doesn't retaliate; he just keeps smiling and joking around.
"Lord Shen, you're here for tea even though you have no money? What a pleasant experience!" A regular customer nearby recognized Shen Congxin.
"Hey, don't say that. Lord Shen has a beautiful wife; his future is bright!" The others laughed from the side. "Be careful he doesn't give his wife away one day and come looking for you to settle scores!"
"This can certainly be considered a legendary tale in our Qianzhou City!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone teased Shen Congxin, and the atmosphere in the tavern was very cheerful.
In reality, they wouldn't dare to insult him like that normally, after all, he was a chief inspector with some power. It was only because Lin Boguang had Wen Tao spread the word that they dared to be so arrogant.
Indeed, a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs!
"Manager Jin, I'll pay for my master's drinks." Just as everyone was making fun of Shen Congxin, Jiang Beichuan, who had been sitting silently next to him, quietly slapped down a silver ingot.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was powerful, instantly silencing the entire Ruyi Restaurant.
Young patrol officers who are willing to do practical things for the people are quite respected.
The laughter stopped.
It was for no other reason than to give face to this young patrol officer who usually worked so hard for them.
"Kitagawa."
Long Aotian turned his head and looked at Jiang Beichuan beside him with some emotion.
How many years has it been since he felt such genuine affection?
In Long Aotian's world, after he runs out of talent, his friends abandon him like trash...
In Shen Congxin's world, even though he was so pathetic, and everyone around him mocked, looked down on, and even insulted him, Jiang Beichuan didn't! He was even willing to spend money on someone like him...
