"Mhm, oh, I'm off then, see you later, this is yours." Captain Li grunted, his face somewhat contorted.
Dropping a black box, he bid farewell and vanished on the spot.
"Daddy, that uncle was so strange," Little Ying scratched her cheek and said.
"Yeah, do avoid playing with that weird uncle in the future," Mu Rufeng nodded.
"Daddy, I'll head back now. I stayed up late playing with Auntie Bai last night and haven't slept yet," Little Ying said.
"Go ahead, and if you need anything, let Daddy know," Mu Rufeng pinched her little cheek and said.
"Mhm mhm," Little Ying acknowledged before returning to her Contract Slot.
Mu Rufeng picked up the box and opened it to find it neatly filled with Login Bracelets, four layers of them.
There were twenty-five in a layer, so that was a hundred in total.
The leadership sure issued the Login Bracelets quickly.
Moreover, the box seemed to be made of special materials; the entire box could actually be stored in the Item Slot.
This surprised Mu Rufeng a bit, but he didn't dwell on it, as it made everything much more convenient.
After stowing away the picnic tablecloth, Mu Rufeng stepped out of the house and drove the van to the Wan City Branch.
"Morning, Brother Mu," the gatekeeper greeted Mu Rufeng.
"Morning, why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy today? Did you pull an all-nighter?" Mu Rufeng greeted with a smile.
"I had the night shift last night. Little Wang had some issues, and I covered for him for a couple of extra hours. I'm beat."
"Haha, you should make him treat you to a big meal."
Mu Rufeng entered, still laughing.
He arrived at the training ground and began his usual daily training.
There were quite a few people at the training ground, even the Reserve Players had substantial training regimens.
An hour later, Mu Rufeng went to the resting area, eating chilled watermelon while watching everyone still training.
"Hey, Xiao Mu, did you hear? Our Field Officer Tian seems to be getting promoted," Cheng Youlin joined him and said.
"Eh? Officer Tian is getting a promotion? To where?" Mu Rufeng asked, puzzled.
"I think he's being transferred to the Capital," Cheng Youlin said.
"How do you know?" Mu Rufeng looked at Cheng Youlin.
"Hehe, just a little bird told me," Cheng Youlin chuckled.
"But you said it's just a rumor; it could be false," Mu Rufeng commented.
"How could it be false? The janitor auntie at headquarters is my aunt. She told me about it yesterday.
She said she overheard Officer Tian on the phone while she was cleaning last night," Cheng Youlin whispered.
"Your aunt is really something. But if that's the case, who will take over at the Changsha Headquarters?" Mu Rufeng asked, somewhat surprised.
"I heard from my aunt that it seems Captain Zhou will be promoted and take over there. If Captain Zhou is promoted, I'm not sure who will take his place."
"Xiao Mu, do you think it could be me?" Cheng Youlin asked with a grin.
"Possibly, if this turns out to be true," Mu Rufeng replied, smiling.
Cheng Youlin had been around for a while, too. In terms of seniority, except for Zhou Wen, he was the most experienced.
In terms of strength, he was a Level 3 Contractor. Excluding Mu Rufeng and Cheng Youlin, his strength was the highest in the Wan City Branch.
Also, his management and problem-solving abilities were strong, so there was a high probability he would take over the Wan City Branch.
As for Mu Rufeng, he really didn't care about these things. He was more interested in how to improve his ability.
When it came to managing affairs, like what Captain Zhou was doing, working until seven or eight in the evening? That was something Mu Rufeng definitely couldn't handle.
Right then, Zhao Dayong came running over.
"Brother Cheng, Brother Mu, the boss is calling for us in the office," Zhao Dayong said, panting.
He obviously had run over.
"Is there a problem?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Don't know, all the Contractors of our branch are heading there," Zhao Dayong said.
"Okay, let's go now," Cheng Youlin immediately responded.
Soon, the two of them together went to Captain Zhou's office.
Upon entering the office, Mu Rufeng saw that indeed, all the Contractors of the branch were there.
Not many, just five people.
Zhou Wen, Qu Lianhong, Cheng Youlin, Mu Rufeng, and Xue Fan.
Except for Xue Fan who was a Level 2 Contractor, the other four were Level 3 Contractors.
"I've called you here because there's something I need to announce," Zhou Wen started.
"Captain Zhou, don't tell me you're being transferred to headquarters to take over the position of head of headquarters?" Cheng Youlin spoke up.
"Eh?" Qu Lianhong suddenly looked at Cheng Youlin with a shock.
"Hm? Cheng Youlin, you're quite well-informed, huh? You knew about this?" Zhou Wen looked at Cheng Youlin with a hint of surprise.
"No, Captain Zhou, is it true what Cheng Youlin said?" Qu Lianhong asked incredulously.
"Yeah, Officer Tian is being transferred to headquarters, and I will be taking over the position of head of headquarters tomorrow.
The transfer orders for a few of you have also come through, and I'll outline them now."
Zhou Wen straightened up and surveyed everyone before slowly announcing, "Qu Lianhong, you'll come with me to headquarters.
Cheng Youlin, you are to take over as the head of the Wan City Branch, and Mu Rufeng, you are to take over as the head of the Wan City Branch's action team."
"Yes, Captain Zhou! Ah no, I guess I should say Head Zhou now," Cheng Youlin quickly replied.
Captain Zhou was the head of the Wan City Branch, but to distinguish himself from Officer Tian and because he was also the captain at headquarters before, everyone just continued to call him Captain Zhou.
