Then let the witch offer her loyalty

The Frenzy Suppression skill has a duration and cooldown of 24 hours.

The cooldown period starts from the moment the talent is activated.

The time on my phone jumped to 19:23 PM.

[Raging Suppression] Cooldown refreshed!

The talent has been activated once again!

Chen Moxin activated two phase imprints and performed a phase transfer on them.

Psionic Release, 4 time.

The file folder containing the white paper on the table disappeared and was replaced by the one in the safe upstairs.

Chen Moxin put on gloves that prevented fingerprints and gently took out all the files inside.

He had already discovered Cao Jiande's method of using back channels through surveillance footage yesterday.

It's really a simple musical score, with absolutely no technical skill involved.

The way to open the back door is—the way the files are arranged.

Yesterday, when Cao Jiande was putting the files into bags, he was just putting them in normally.

When he put the fifteenth file in, he suddenly put that person's file in backwards.

If it were just this once, it could be considered a coincidence.

However, Chen Moxin had compared the contents of the documents and found that Wu Xuan had bought his connections with money, while the other three had political backgrounds.

If you put it in the wrong place once or twice, you can say it's a coincidence.

The fact that the wrong people were given the wrong prize four times, and that the wrong people were all "people with connections," means that this is no longer a matter of probability.

Chen Moxin realized at that moment that Cao Jiande had done this on purpose.

During the performance review interview for permanent employment, the candidate's file will be randomly distributed to different examiners.

In such situations, it is very difficult for people like Cao Jiande to "make a call" to the examiners, because they cannot guarantee that the person they are helping will be interviewed by a particular examiner.

Unless you greet all the examiners, but doing so is too risky and could easily give them something to say.

This led to the creation of a marking method that places files in their upright or reversed positions.

The HR department must have an unspoken rule: the reversed card indicates someone who needs special treatment, while the upright card indicates an ordinary candidate.

At that time, the examiners will receive the candidates' files. They don't need anyone to give them prior notice, and they don't need to know the candidates themselves. The reversed card indicates secret assistance, while the upright card indicates a normal interview. That's it.

Even if someone is investigated because of this, it will not form a valid chain of evidence.

I just put it there casually.

Which law in the Rose Empire states that it is a crime to store files backwards?

It's difficult for the court to investigate these kinds of matters.

At this moment, Chen Moxin found her own file in the file folder and rearranged it to be reversed.

In this way, he would also be considered a "connected person".

Then he took out Wu Xuan's file and rearranged it to its correct position.

"whee."

After repackaging, Chen Moxin reactivated the remaining phase imprints on the two file folders and initiated a phase transfer.

The two file folders were swapped again and returned to their original positions.

ended.

Psionic release, a total of 5 times.

There was no cumulative erosion by fanaticism.

It left no trace.

It's like nothing happened.

But the future outcome has been altered.

Chapter 35: The Interview Begins!

Time passed slowly, and the night before the interview began arrived.

At Wu Xuan's home.

Wu Xuan and Wu Yueping were both sitting on the leather sofa in the living room; the former was looking at his phone, and the latter was making a phone call.

"Old Qian, I've seen the report on our company's new drug. Have dinner with the leaders of the medical department tomorrow and get them to approve it as soon as possible. The price is negotiable. We absolutely must launch it as soon as possible to seize the market."

"Why deliberately reduce the efficacy of the drug? Nonsense, are you stupid? If the efficacy wasn't reduced, and the drug was developed according to the original version, the patient would have been cured in one course of treatment."

"If they recover, how will our company make money?"

"You don't even understand the principle of slow and steady wins the race? Seriously, I'm not trying to criticize you, but sometimes you just can't think straight... Go and get it done tomorrow. That's all, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yueping looked at Wu Xuan, who was engrossed in his phone, and patted him lightly: "All you do all day is play on your phone. You've been playing since you finished eating. Don't you even know how nearsighted you are?"

Wu Xuan clicked his tongue: "I'm not playing, I'm looking at the questions."

"What questions are you looking at?" Wu Yueping leaned closer.

Wu Xuan showed him the screen: "These are the past interview questions from our bureau. The interview is tomorrow, so I'm familiarizing myself with them first."

Wu Yueping scoffed and poked his son's head dismissively: "Are you stupid? Do you even know what 'using connections' means? Using connections doesn't give you any so-called advantage in the competition."

"Going through the back door means that even if you perform a set of military boxing moves for the interviewer on the spot tomorrow, he will still praise you for your martial virtue while wiping his nosebleed, and pass you directly."

Wu Xuan was stunned after hearing this: "Really? Is it that exaggerated?"

Wu Yueping snorted: "Nonsense, a full ten catties of gold bars, you think it was given away for free? This time, your father shed a lot of blood to get you promoted."

After saying that, he patted his son's arm: "Let's go, let's go, it's still early, let's go outside and play some basketball."

Wu Xuan thought for a moment, still holding his phone, and said, "You go by yourself. I'll take a look at the questions and perform normally tomorrow, just to be on the safe side. I'm really scared after being rejected in interviews for so many years in a row."

Wu Yueping thought to himself: "Oh, this brat is quite cautious. It seems he has made progress in the past few years and is much more composed than before."

"Suit yourself, I'm going to play ball. Remember to come back for dinner after your interview tomorrow. We'll have a big feast to celebrate our family's first civil servant."

"Son, work hard after you get promoted, strive to become a leader as soon as possible, and make more connections."

"Right now, we're the ones paying others to do things for us; from now on, they'll be the ones paying us! Hahaha!"

...

The following morning, the annual interviews for non-permanent staff to become permanent staff, conducted by the Administration and the Trial Court, began.

An empty prison area was designated as an interview venue. Officers could be seen busily working in the corridors, and all the candidates were waiting in the waiting area. Interviewers were also coming and going with relevant materials.

As is customary, the interview room is set up in the interrogation room of the prison block.

On the one hand, the environment of the prison area is used to increase the tension and further test the candidates' psychological qualities.

On the other hand, the interrogation room has one-way transparent glass, which makes it convenient for some leaders who are interested in the interview to watch through the window.

This year, the Administration nominated a total of 2517 people for conversion from non-staff to permanent positions. Only the top 10% of the written test scores were considered, leaving only 252 people for the interview.

Based on past data, the interview pass rate is around 5%, which means that only a dozen or so people out of these two hundred or so will ultimately be selected.

Today, Luo Shoucheng, the leader of Group 9 of the Seventh Special Investigation Division, also came to the interview site to see the person he nominated and recommended.

Chen Moxin was recruited three months ago through campus recruitment; she was a complete newcomer.

Luo Shoucheng felt that it was unlikely that a newcomer would pass the probation assessment on their first attempt.

However, given Chen Moxin's outstanding performance in the "Transformation Witch" case, Luo Shoucheng still wanted to see how he would perform.

The interview groups were announced this morning. Luo Shoucheng called over a few group leaders he was familiar with from other groups and waited on the other side of the glass in interrogation room number 7 for the interviews to begin.

Just as the group was chatting, the door was pushed open.

Luo Shoucheng looked at the newcomer and exclaimed, "Little Luo, what brings you here?"

The visitor was none other than Luo Lingyou. As usual, she was wearing the judge's uniform and sat down in a chair as if she knew the place well.

She unwrapped a strawberry lollipop and put it in her cheek, saying lazily, "I took a day off today and came here to watch the interviews."

Luo Shoucheng had a question in his mind.

The interviews at the court and the administration were both today, and they were essentially the same in format.

If Luo Lingyou only wanted to observe the interview, he could have done so in the courtroom.

She made a special trip back to the management bureau; she must have had a specific purpose.

At this moment, Luo Shoucheng remembered that he had heard from people in the office a few days ago that Luo Lingyou had given Chen Moxin a set of interview questions.

Could it be that she came specifically to observe Chen Moxin?

Luo Lingyou used to be a rather withdrawn person. Apart from her work duties, she usually liked to be alone and space out, seemingly uninterested in anything and indifferent to everyone.

But ever since the case of the shapeshifting witch, she seems to have started paying special attention to Chen Moxin.

I wonder where this kid gets his charm, that makes the court committee member's darling daughter care so much.

It can't be because he's handsome, right?

Luo Shoucheng had planned to chat with Luo Lingyou for a while, but she soon fell into her signature dazed state, staring at the wall with her chin resting on her hand, seemingly bored, while sucking on a lollipop.

Luo Shoucheng didn't try to strike up a conversation with her and continued chatting with the other group leaders.

Ten minutes later, the interview officially began.

The interview consisted of two examiners, a chief and a deputy, and three candidates participated.

The first few batches were all unfamiliar faces. As Luo Shoucheng looked at them, he chatted and joked with his colleagues about their performances.

But then there was nothing more to say, because the interview process was too ordinary. Neither the interviewer's questions nor the candidate's answers were anything special; they were very formulaic.

During this time, Luo Shoucheng turned around and glanced at Luo Lingyou.

She hadn't changed her posture since she sat down, staring blankly at the wall. If it weren't for the occasional movement of her mouth with the lollipop in her mouth, she would have looked like a doll.

Another round of interviews ended, and the candidates left one by one.

Soon, the interviewer's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Candidates from Group 10, Gui Nan, Wu Xuan, and Chen Moxin, please proceed to interview room number 7 for your interviews."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shoucheng sensed someone approaching from the side.

After staring blankly for a long time, Luo Lingyou finally came to the window. His rose-red eyes were slightly narrowed with a smile, like a cat ready to watch the fun.

Chapter 36 I was on the first floor, he was on the second floor

In the interview room, three candidates, Gui Nan, Wu Xuan, and Chen Moxin, walked in and sat down in their assigned seats, with signs reading "No. 1", "No. 2", and "No. 3" placed in front of them respectively.

Wu Xuan stood tall and proud, his eyes gleaming, radiating the confidence that came with his back door.

Yesterday, his dad told him that he had already smoothed things over with the boss, and no matter how badly he performed in the interview today, even if he gave the interviewer a set of military boxing moves on the spot, it wouldn't affect his chances of getting a permanent position.

Of course, that was just a joke; he wasn't stupid enough to actually punch the interviewer. However, it also indirectly proved that the outcome of the interview was a foregone conclusion.

After Wu Xuan sat down, he glanced at the two people beside him a few times.

Number 1 was a short boy with thick glasses, who looked like a bookworm.

Wu Xuan recognized the man named "Guinan"; he had seen him a few times at the bureau before, and he arrived even earlier than Wu Xuan.

Guinan also served as an off-staff employee for three years, and was nominated for the official appointment assessment every year, but failed to be selected each time.

Whether it was due to his introverted personality or the damage to his self-esteem from being rejected too many times, he always kept his head down, looking very insecure.

Wu Xuan then looked at number 3.

Chen Moxin has recently become somewhat well-known within the bureau.

He was said to be a senior college student who worked in the Special Investigations Division 7. He had only been working in an unofficial position for three months when he single-handedly killed a witch in a mission.

Chen Moxin sat there with her chin resting on her hand, looking relaxed and leisurely.

Wu Xuan chuckled inwardly.

Young teachers haven't experienced the harsh realities of teaching.
