An excellent worker always knows how to adjust his mentality, and one of the criteria is to have a regular schedule and sufficient rest, and never accumulate fatigue and stress to the next day.

That's how Song Lan practiced.

A solid night's sleep is enough to put the big and small things that happened yesterday behind you.

After arriving in the first district, he slept for the first time in a long time, and also broke the record set by himself for several consecutive days of punctual attendance.

However, in a sense, reporting to the counterintelligence service is also to defend the security of the coalition government, so this should not be considered a skip shift, but should be classified as a business trip.

When Song Lan drove his bicycle to the building of the counterintelligence department after lunch, the staff here had already entered the busy work link, and the small office was in stark contrast to the golden building from the outside, and each person's desk was only about five cubic meters.

A desk, a computer, and a mountain of electronic manuals seem to be the daily life of a counterintelligence employee.

Song Lan can see the busy work scene inside through the light-sensitive bulletproof glass, in addition to work documents, there are also auxiliary props such as coffee and anti-fatigue drugs that can keep them working at all times.

After you've finished hours of intense work, you can take a breather, inject yourself with an anti-fatigue shot, and move on to your new work.

Walking along the corridor all the way to the end is Lu Xiang's office.

Just from the floor space of the office, you can see the gold content of the head of the counterintelligence department, when he entered the door, Lu Xiang was sitting at his desk with his back to him, and there were half-eaten snacks on the table, which he usually made and put in the refrigerator.

She faces a holographic projection that is comparable to a small screen in a private theater.

"Are you awake?"

Lu Xiang wiped the residue from the corners of his mouth and stretched.

She, like everyone else in the department, had just finished her morning's work — a video conference convened by the Council, in which MI7 and counterintelligence were the protagonists, to discuss in detail yesterday's changes in military technology.

They had not taken any action against the head of the project team for the time being, and after a brief questioning, they put her back, but in the meantime, her daily communication equipment became the focus of monitoring, and at the same time, a new task was handed over to both departments.

Try to find out the origin of "Overload Type IV".

Although Zero insisted that it was an upgraded version of the overload system, and that it was the result of countless efforts and hundreds of failures by the project team to create a military science and technology achievement, the Chair apparently did not buy her explanation.

For a whole morning, she was surrounded by an unimaginable amount of information, and it is no wonder that prosthetic transplantation is a compulsory course before joining the company, with the reserve amount and speed of the human brain, even the best memory of the person, can not be qualified for this level of work, neither the company nor the coalition government will allow employees to make mistakes in data.

A single memory error can cost a department more than seven figures.

Lu Xiang turned the swivel chair over, looked at Song Lan, who seemed to be a little confused, and sighed that if Song Lan was made the leader of these important departments, then in a few days, the company would face the risk of bankruptcy.

In fact, in her opinion, the H1 model is more like a security company - this is probably one of the few working models that do not need to deal with a large amount of information and data, and can also be exchanged for high returns, the only drawback is that the average life span of this industry is really short, and there are very few people who can save enough money to leave this industry, and they will die in the process of performing tasks if they are not careful.

Of course, the coalition government also has some major departments.

For example, MI7.

MI7 intelligence officers are also equipped to process large amounts of information and often carry out high-risk tasks.

During the time he came to the first district, Lu Xiang finally understood the biggest difference between the two departments.

Compared with MI7, they are more like civilians, and most of the handling is internal incidents, unless necessary, the staff of the headquarters rarely travel, most of the work is done in the office, and the only possibility that life may be dangerous is death from overwork.

"Well, it's rare to get a good night's sleep."

Song Lan yawned.

Yesterday, after sleeping for more than ten hours, while he was fully relaxed and enjoyed, it inevitably had some side effects - at least for him, every time he slept too long, he would fall into a lazy mood, and he would not be able to do anything like now.

After his gaze wandered around the room for a moment, he stayed on Lu Xiang's computer screen, and then made a startling discovery, "You shop online during work?" ”

This thing is normal in H1, but it is really surprising in Lu Xiang, who is known for his serious and responsible work.

"Well, this is the most popular prosthetic lookup site right now."

Lu Xiang also did not deny it, "The main thing is the waist performance enhancement prosthesis, I heard them say that if you sit in the office for a long time, your waist will be strained, and I will first understand some implants in case you need them." ”

According to the internal statistics of the counterintelligence department, in addition to the operating system necessary for work, most people are the first to transform the part related to the waist, the number of people who carry out waist transformation is as high as 85%, and the remaining 15% are a small number of departments with field work.

Although there is no obvious discomfort yet, from a scientific point of view, her lower back is probably worn out much faster than other employees.

"Now the development of prosthetics is really changing with each passing day, and the minimalist style prosthesis can be implanted without splicing, and it looks the same as the original product from the outside after surgery."

This morning's meeting was extraordinarily long, with a few heated arguments that gave her plenty of time to sneak around shopping sites in private.

"The most popular style in Zone 1 is minimalism, have you ever heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it."

Song Lan shook his head, he is currently one of the few pure original humans, and he doesn't even have a chip connection slot on his body, which will indeed bring trouble to his work.

In the past, when there was a department meeting in the 17th District, everyone would have an embedded chip, and it was said that as long as the chip was inserted into the connection slot, there was no need to explain, and the information and data inside would immediately appear in front of him, and he had to take his laptop to the conference room every time and turn through the information page by page in a way that Captain Doug jokingly called "the last century".

"Minimalism refers to a style that cannot be seen from the outside, and most of the big people you usually see advocate minimalism, and the style of transforming one's body to look like a war machine like Arakushi is called Fauvism."

"Lao Lu, you actually learned to desert during meetings!"

"I always will."

Lu Xiang's face still did not change, "I didn't have a chance to desert before because I had to preside over the meeting, but now it's different." ”

In the First District, the Minister of Counterintelligence was not really a big deal, and she was not even qualified to participate in the deliberations of the Council in the first place, and it was only because of her status that the Chief of the Council recommended that she participate in the remote meeting.

But in fact, the dispute at the meeting had nothing to do with her.

In Song Lan's words, the coalition government is now in danger of survival, but reformists and conservatives still can't put aside their prejudices and work together.

The main contention at today's meeting was the follow-up handling of the bones.

Potential competitors in military technology firmly believe that the bones are a destabilizing factor that should not be repaired, but should be destroyed completely.

"And when I was in school at Daystar, I never had such a strange label as 'serious and responsible.'"

Chief student.

League Champions.

Academy Gold Hunter.

These are the terms she has heard the most, whether in Daystar or in the core city, no one will be looked down upon for the quality of "serious and responsible", which is usually the second best thing to say when there are no other obvious achievements.

And this title was only given after she was transferred to work in District 17 after graduation, especially after meeting Song Lan.

"You should have seen it on the way here, right? Most of the people in the counterintelligence department are very conscientious and responsible, and if you think about it from the perspective of working hours, there are a lot of people in the department who are more 'conscientious and responsible' than me, and many of them usually live in the department, with an average of only about 4 hours of sleep a day, and work the rest of the time. ”

When he deserted during the meeting, Lu Xiang also figured out the problem, "I think the reason why someone always described me like this when I was in the 17th district was mostly because of you, in a place like the counterintelligence department, no one would ever use this title." ”

She paused and said, "Actually, it was a little strange when I first went to District 17, I just completed my job as the head of the law enforcement department, how could I be described like this?" Now that I think about it, the main reason should be that there were too many idlers like you in the previous department! ”

Working overtime and taking anti-fatigue medications are the norm in large companies or important departments in core cities, and people have long been accustomed to it.

"Stop, stop, you should have invited me over today to denounce me, right?"

"This can also be one of the reasons."

Lu Xiang thought for a while and said, "You were also discussed in today's video conference, and your H1 has been complained about several times for doing nothing. ”

On paper, this is a department with more than four six-star rescuers, and the coalition government has never had a department that is close to H1 on paper.

But look at these people, what have they done to bring together the best of these coalition governments?

Drink tea, talk about fashion, gossip, and even watch a movie all day!

When these complaints reached the ears of the Council, many companies were so jealous that their eyes were red.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go and help them work, many of the company's businesses in the 'outside world' need the help of six-star rescuers."

Lu Xiang coughed lightly, imitating the indignant tone of the parliamentarians.

In their opinion, Song Lan and these people are completely wasting their work ability and life!

"Why? We are not employees. ”

"Because they seem to think that H1 is a resource that belongs to the coalition government, and it should be your mission to do your best for the coalition government."

As a result, Lu Xiang, who was very close to Song Lan, inexplicably had many more tasks that had nothing to do with the counterintelligence department.

For example, in his free time, he actively carried out ideological education work for Song Lan, and instilled in him what a glorious mission it is to serve the coalition government and the company, and now there are many people who want to work for the company but have never had the opportunity.

"Thankfully, you brought down the bones yesterday and made the Council realize the importance of keeping you in the First District."

Lu Xiang had to admit that this time the "old friend" helped Song Lan again.

Wild bones sacrificed themselves every time, bringing great convenience to Song Lan's life, "If it weren't for yesterday's incident, they were thinking about transferring you to the 'outside world' and dealing with the problem of the rebels with the expatriate department. ”

"It's not the same as what the transfer order says."

"It's not the same, but that's the Council."

Lu Xiang shrugged his shoulders, "The content of the transfer order is the personal opinion of the chairman, but his personal opinion cannot control the entire council at present, and the power in his hands is only to make the final decision when the two sides of some issues are deadlocked, and if an agenda item is passed by an overwhelming vote, then he can't do anything." ”

The first few times she attended the meeting, she really sweated for Song Lan.

If a proposal to reassign H1 to the "outside world" had been put forward and passed by unanimous vote, the presiding officer would not have been able to prevent the outcome of the meeting's deliberations according to the Council's procedures.

"It's useless, if they do pass the agenda, I still have a last resort."

"Resign?"

"Of course not, I'm carrying a loan right now!"

Song Lanyi is stern, the housing prices in the first district are not as good as those in the seventeenth district, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an inch of land, and he has only been transferred to the first district for a few days, and he has not even received the first month's salary.

However, out of his understanding of the council, he did consider the possibility of the other party not abiding by the agreement.

"If they do pass the proposal in the meeting, there will be a mysterious contagion within the H1 department, with symptoms such as headaches and abdominal pain, the kind that are so severe that they can't work properly."

A witty worker always prepares for a rainy day.

Song Lan had already described the specific symptoms of the disease to all H1 members in the department's internal meeting, and promised that everyone would take the same account when the time came.

"Do you think the Council will believe it?"

"If they don't believe, they have to believe."

"Don't forget, Hogg-Foster is now the man of our department."

"Hogg? His vote is hardly going to work on a topic that was unanimously approved. ”

"That's true."

Song Lan smiled slightly, and said confidently, "But he has already privately contacted the director of a large prosthetic hospital in District 1, and he will prepare a full set of diagnosis results for us at that time." ”

The Three Hundred and Fourteenth of the Small Theatre:

Saturday, morning, month, year

"Really?"

Song Lan was shocked by Lu Xiang's answer, he thought that he was outrageous enough before, but he didn't expect Lu Xiang to be more outrageous than him.

"Really."

"Doesn't Daystar have an education in this area?"

He felt that he didn't know that this could be attributed to the lack of reading, after all, he had not gone to school in the past, but Lu Xiang was a graduate of a prestigious school, and Daystar's faculty could rank in the top five in the entire coalition government.

"Now that I think about it, it seems that there were."

Lu Xiang thought thoughtfully, "When I was about the first year of high school, the school carried out the "Physiological Health Class", but I didn't go because I didn't have credits. ”

She was an out-and-out "bounty hunter" when she was Daystar, and she did not participate in any courses and programs that did not involve academic credits, and spent all her limited time on the blade, which was the secret of her becoming the chief student.

But now that the old thing is brought up again, it suddenly dawned on her, "No wonder there are no credits in that course, but there are still so many people actively participating!" ”

She gained credits and scholarships, while her classmates gained happiness.

"Don't talk about this topic anymore!"

Lu Xiang bit off half of the fries as if he was angry.

"Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Not angry!"

Lu Xiang sped up his meal, his cheeks were stuffed with lunch, "I regret it, I feel like I missed a lot of valuable knowledge!" ”
