Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"It won't happen next time."

The man in the green vest stuffed the money into his pocket.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely keep the leader's teachings in mind."

Liu Zheng said respectfully.

"Hmm, you're not bad. As expected of a family member of one of our city hall employees, your manners are much better than those delivery drivers from those bloody restaurants."

The woman in the green vest praised him.

"When I get back, I will definitely promote the importance of obeying traffic rules to our restaurant staff, especially in our takeout department. We will vigorously promote the importance of obeying traffic rules and the close relationship between the police and the people."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Hmm? Hmm. Not bad, not bad."

Although he couldn't see the green vest's shape, Liu Zheng could still feel its admiring gaze.

"I've heard of your reputation, but it seems seeing is believing. You don't seem like someone from the Bloody Restaurant at all; you seem more like someone from our City Hall."

The man in the green vest laughed heartily.

"No matter where you work, you are a citizen of the metropolis. It is only natural for citizens to cooperate with the city hall's management."

He said with a serious look on his face.

"That makes sense, but there aren't many people who understand it as well as you do."

The green-vested man's tone became even more appreciative.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"What are you going to do?"

"The man in the green vest asked."

"Go deliver takeout."

"Where to deliver it? To whom?"

The man in the green vest pressed for an answer.

"I'm sorry, boss, this is a trade secret of our restaurant. If I reveal it, I'll die on the spot. Could you please make an exception?"

Liu Zheng handed over another stack of banknotes.

"Well, our city hall is completely unreasonable. The trade secrets of a major taxpayer like Bloody Restaurant must be protected."

The man in the green vest tore off another ticket and stuck it on the windshield.

"I understand, I understand. This is what it means to enforce the law with both strength and compassion."

he blurted out.

"Holy crap! Well said!"

The man in the green vest shouted, attracting the attention of other men in green vests nearby.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just being crazy."

It quickly said to its colleague.

"Brother, you used to write official documents?"

After calming his colleague down, he asked Liu Zheng in a low voice.

"I understand a little bit."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

Besides working as a journalist, he also takes on part-time jobs such as writing academic papers, official documents, and PowerPoint presentations.

"Just based on what you just said, you definitely don't just have a superficial understanding."

The man in the green vest did not agree with his humility.

"Hey bro, have you written your annual work summary and your work plan for next year?"

It asked in a low voice.

"Oh, what level? I can't write anything above the department level."

Liu Zheng said cautiously.

"No need, no need, our brigade's will do."

The man in the green vest quickly replied.

"Could I have one from last year to look at first?"

he asked.

"Sure, sure, I always carry it with me."

The man in the green vest took out several sheets of bound A4 paper from his pocket and handed them to him.

Liu Zheng glanced at the title, "Annual Work Summary of XXX Brigade".

Well, it's decent, nothing special.

The work outlook for next year can be written in the main text; there's no need to put it in the title.

As for titles like "Uniting Our Efforts to Plan for the Overall Situation and Overcoming Difficulties to Demonstrate Responsibility," they're fine for personal work summaries, but a bit too fancy for departmental work summaries.

Looking at the subheadings again, problems begin to emerge.

It's okay if the main title doesn't match the parallel structure, but it's a bit unseemly if the subtitles don't match the parallel structure.

Although many people think this is a rigid, formulaic essay, the human pursuit of symmetry is based on a genetic instinct; even facial features are considered more attractive when they are closer to symmetry.

Even babies are like this, let alone a bunch of stubborn and rigid middle-aged and elderly leaders.

"Ugh."

After scanning the text again, Liu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Even among the hundreds of official documents he had to revise, this one was the worst.

"Okay, bro, I know I write badly, stop talking."

The collar of the green vest was slightly reddish.

"Hey bro, could you do me a favor and write my annual work summary for me?"

After hesitating for a moment, it finally revealed its purpose.

After saying that, its collar turned even redder.

"can."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng nodded.

If it's only better than this level, then he's still very much in control.

"Really. You're so generous, brother. Tell me, what do you want in return?"

The man in the green vest asked bluntly.

"I don't need anything, I just want you to remember me."

He smiled.

"Brother, I'm just a squad leader here. Even if I wanted to help you, there's nothing I could do."

The man in the green vest said somewhat awkwardly.

Although as an employee of the city hall, and a formal employee of a powerful department, it doesn't need to fear the Bloody Restaurant like other citizens, but getting mixed up with the Bloody Restaurant's employees is another matter entirely.

“It’s alright. I’ll help if I can, and I certainly won’t make things difficult for you if I can’t. I have many friends in the city hall, the Bloody Restaurant, the sewers, the cemetery, the Red Witch Board Game Hall, and the bathhouse district. If I were the kind of person who didn’t know my place, I definitely wouldn’t have made it this far.”

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"Wow, bro, you've got connections all over the metropolis."

The man in the green vest clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It's not that, it's not that. It's just that everyone sees that I'm sensible and lends me a hand."

He waved his hands repeatedly.

"So young, so talented, and so humble, brother, you are destined for great things."

The man in the green vest gave an invisible thumbs-up.

"Not at all, I think you are the one with the potential to be a king. You will definitely become the director of the Public Security Bureau in the future, and it is not impossible for you to go even further."

Liu Zheng retorted.

"Haha, bro, you're so good with words."

The green-vested man's laughter was unstoppable.

"577, what are you dawdling about?"

A stern voice suddenly came from the car radio.

"Report, I am checking the vehicle owner's information and driving status."

The man in the green vest was startled and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Is the questioning finished?"

The stern voice asked.

"Report, the investigation is almost complete."

The man in the green vest replied crisply.

"Then speed things up. If you can't finish in three minutes, you'll be sent to investigate in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"Yes!"

The man in the green vest trembled with fear.

What's the difference between going to the Ten Thousand Mountains and being exiled to the frontier? It hasn't had enough of the bright lights and glitz of the city, and it has no desire to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains to see those barbarians whose fur is thicker than its own vest.

"Hey bro, you don't have any contraband in your car, do you?"

The man in the green vest asked in a low voice.

"Brother, this car was given to me by the restaurant, and there are no personal belongings of mine inside."

Liu Zheng said skillfully.

After all, given the driver's nature, it wouldn't be surprising if he added something outrageous.

"Okay. This is my number, brother, write it down. Also, my number is JJ577, which is also my name."

"If you run into my colleagues in the future, just mentioning my name will usually work."

The man in the green vest spoke quickly.

"Okay. My name is Liu Zheng. Please write down my number, brother. I'll write up the work summary as soon as possible and then send it to you via text message."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, okay. No rush, just give it to me before the day after tomorrow."

"The one in the green vest said."

"okay."

He readily agreed.

He wouldn't even use this kind of official document for half a day.

"Alright, I'm off then. By the way, the roads haven't been safe these past few days, so don't pick up any strange people or accept any strange items."

The man in the green vest gave a reminder and then drifted away.

Chapter 466 Devil Fruit?

"Not peaceful"

Liu Zheng thought of the cattle and horses that had been called to the meeting. Could the two be related?
