Isn't it too late?

Nan Ning looked at the other party in confusion. She raised her palm and looked at the watch. The gears in the delicate mechanical watch were rotating and the hands were already pointing in the direction of 11 noon.

It's almost noon... Nan Ning's eyes became serious and she said to the middle-aged man: "Do you usually come here at this time? What time do you get off work in the evening?"

"What time do you want...it depends on the situation. Sometimes it's late. Normally, 5 o'clock is the latest time to get off work." The middle-aged man immediately said with a smile.

Nan Ning couldn't help frowning and said: "Then you don't spend more than 8 hours on work every day. I remember that the working hours stipulated by the city-state guardian are from 8 am to 6 pm. You are too lazy!

"

"Uh, yes..." The middle-aged man was about to nod when he suddenly came to his senses, his face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "You're a new guy here, do you want to teach me a lesson?"

"…Hmm."

Nan Ning also suddenly reacted and said angrily: "Ah, no, no, I just mentioned it casually, is this the rule here?"

"Humph, of course you newcomers have to go to work on time, but the things we deal with are busy. Some cases may not require staying at the office every day to solve them, but also require visits. Forget it, it's useless to tell you all this. From today on

...You still have to report at 8 o'clock in the morning, you know?"

The middle-aged man said with a straight face, looking very majestic.

"Yeah." Nan Ning nodded repeatedly, her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

The old man in a tuxedo behind her was stroking his beard and smiling and nodding. Apparently he thought the middle-aged man was doing a good job, but when he saw the sullen look on his face towards the young lady, he was a little annoyed and gave him a slight glare.

This tugging... Xu Shen looked around, feeling a little speechless.

"Um, sir, I took office today. Do you have any work arrangements now?" Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to leave, Nan Ning asked quickly. She always felt that there was something wrong with the process.

The middle-aged man woke up and almost missed this. He turned to look at the girl, and then at Xu Shen next to him. He had never seen Xu Shen, but the bodyguard who followed the young lady... should be responsible for supervision.

Yes.

He nodded friendly to Xu Shen, and then said to the girl with a straight face: "You just took office today, do you want to join the work?"

"Of course, isn't it just for working when you take office?" Nan Ning looked at him with a strange expression.

The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Shen, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, you see, I didn't force this, she asked for it, she can't blame me.

You gave me the wrong wink... Xu Shen kept smiling and saw the helpless expression on the face of the old man in a tuxedo next to him. It was obvious that he couldn't do anything to this enthusiastic young lady.

Others want to go to work and be lazy, but she takes the initiative to make trouble.

"You have little experience, so you should start as a civilian in the institute and be responsible for recording cases." The middle-aged man said with an indifferent expression, assuming the posture of a leader.

Recording cases... doesn't require any errands, it's a very easy job.

"Ah, no, no." Nan Ning shook her head quickly, with an eager look on her face: "Sir, although this is my first time serving, my grades are very good and I am definitely qualified for many jobs. I hope to go to the front line and investigate the most vicious cases.

The most difficult problem is to go outside and look around..."

Are you speaking human language? The middle-aged man looked at her speechlessly. No matter how you looked at this pure little face, it didn't look like she was saying such perverted words.

I dare not touch even the most vicious cases... The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"No, no, I just hope that the leader can reuse me." Nan Ning said quickly.

The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Shen and saw that Xu Shen had no reaction. He immediately thought about it, this young lady came here for fun and adventure. If she really let her become a civil servant, she would definitely cause trouble for him later, so he simply let her go out in the wild.

After a while, when she ran to those dirty and messy places in the suburbs and was out of breath, she knew it was hard to give up.

In this case, she could pack up her bags and get out of the house as soon as possible and go back to her inner city.

"Okay, then let you go to the front line and be an investigator?" While the middle-aged man said this, he looked at Xu Shen.

Xu Shen's face was expressionless and showed no reaction.

That means I agreed... The middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man in a tuxedo behind the girl had an angry look on his face, gritted his teeth, and glared at the middle-aged man fiercely. The untouchables in this city are simply unreasonable. They dare to let the young lady do the most messy and tiring work, and bully the young lady. Is there anyone around her?

?

"Great!" Nan Ning couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when she saw that the other party agreed. Who said the people in Dicheng were arrogant and unreasonable? They seemed to be easy to get along with!

"You, tell her what the investigator has to do, and come to work on time tomorrow. Don't be... late!" the middle-aged man told the assistant-like woman beside him, and then turned around and left.

Xu Shen saw the old man in tuxedo walking over, but he turned back halfway, obviously still worried about his young lady.

Looking at the other side, Maeve was sitting on a chair, holding her chin in her little hands, with an interesting expression on her face.

As if she noticed Xu Shen's peripheral vision, her expression suddenly changed and her mouth puffed out.

Xu Shen's eyes quickly moved away.

"I can go to work now..." Nan stared at the direction in which the middle-aged man was leaving. He still wanted to work hard, but was blocked by the assistant woman.

The woman's expression was cold and she said: "You are here to report for the first time. Just do whatever the Lord Judge tells you to do. Don't be too fussy. Remember to report at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Just go back today."

Nan Ning was a little helpless and said oh.

"Do you have a place to stay?" the woman asked.

Nan Ning glanced at Xu Shen, thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Okay." The woman said, "Come with me and get your law officer uniform and medal. Remember to wear it when you go to work on weekdays."

"good."

Nan Ning immediately followed the other party, while Xu Shen followed Nan Ning and went through the appointment process.

While traveling through the city-state guardianship, Xu Shen had seen what this place with the strictest laws in the city looked like, and he also had some understanding of the ranks in the guardianship.

People like Nan Ning were junior law officers.

Further up, as the accumulated cases and seniority increase, one is promoted to intermediate or senior level.

Then there are the trial lawyers, who can finalize and decide some major cases.

Above the inquisitor is the presiding judge, who is also the highest-ranking person in the guardianship.

In addition to them, there are also guardian guards at their disposal, and these guards are all ruin-killing personnel.

It is not unreasonable to have warriors at the disposal of ordinary people. In fact, this is the case in many places. The guards do not dare to insult the law officers at will, otherwise they will be suppressed and sentenced by higher-level force.

The law may not be so thoroughly penetrated elsewhere, but among the classes within the city-state guardhouse, the law is definitely strict and the hierarchy is orderly.

After completing the formalities, Xu Shen and Nan Ning walked out of the city-state guardhouse.

"Do you know any accommodation nearby?" Nan Ning asked Xu Shen.

"Why don't you let them make arrangements for you?" Xu Shen asked.

"I always feel like they are a little weird. I wonder if my identity has been revealed." Nan Ning said in a low voice.

Quite sharp...but there is no need to doubt it, it must have been arranged in advance by the butler behind you.

The old man in a tuxedo behind the girl suddenly became nervous when he heard the girl's words. He stared at Xu Shen closely, for fear that Xu Shen would help her analyze something.

"You are too sensitive." Xu Shen smiled: "Shall I rent you a hotel?"

The old man in the tuxedo breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile. This confused boy was quite insensitive, but he was really incomparable to my young lady.

"Okay." Nan Ning agreed immediately, and immediately rummaged through her backpack: "I'll give you money, but there are some things I don't understand, so I won't trouble you if I want you to spend money."

Xu Shen just wanted to refuse, but when he saw the gold paper she took out, he still felt that he should learn to talk less.

"Silence is Golden"

"Are these enough? I didn't know if there was a bank or chamber of commerce here, or if I could withdraw money, so I brought some cash." Nan Ning took out 20 pieces of gold paper and handed them to Xu Shen: "How long can these last?"

Xu Shen happily took it, counted it, and confirmed the amount: "It depends on how you use it. If you don't buy some more luxurious things, if you use it normally, the consumption here will be enough for you to use it for a long time."

"That's good, don't tell me when you don't have enough." Nan Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Easy to say."

Xu Shen smiled and accepted the gold paper.

The old man in a tuxedo next to him put his head in front of Xu Shen's face, staring with an angry look on his face. This damn kid even dares to take the lady's money?!

It was promised that the bodyguards would be sent here, and they had already been given benefits. How dare they ask for money?!

He gritted his teeth and wished he could put his face against Xu Shen's. If it wasn't inconvenient for him to show up, he would have done it directly.

Does this old guy have such big mood swings... Xu Shen suddenly sneezed. Although he couldn't touch him, the old man still subconsciously leaned back and glared at Xu Shen.

Xu Shen rubbed his nose and said, "The dust is a bit big. It seems like something dirty just got close to my nose."

"The air here is indeed not very good." Nan Ning nodded.

Just when Xu Shen thought she would miss the clean smell of the inner city, he saw some sadness on her cheeks and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I hope the sun will shine here one day."

Xu Shen was slightly startled.

Although the light was weak, Xu Shen felt strangely bright when it shone on the girl's cheek.

The old man in the tuxedo let out a deep sigh when he heard the girl's words.
