Jiang Feng was promoted.
He went from being a first-level Little Prison Guard to a third-level Prison Chief.
The news spread quickly.
The Captains didn’t pay any attention to it.
But the Little Prison Guards or Squad Leaders were all envious.
When Uncle Huo heard about it, he felt a bit disappointed, lanting that if he hadn’t been knocked out, and if he had been there that day, maybe Commander Han would have noticed him.
"From now on, this will be your workroom, and these three Squad Leaders will all follow your orders."
Liu Shanhai took Jiang Feng to the third level.
Leading three Squad Leaders, he introduced them to him.
"Greetings, Prison Chief Jiang!"
The three Squad Leaders quickly flattered him.
"Hello, Squad Leaders."
Jiang Feng greeted them.
"Prison Chief Jiang, I still have a lot of matters to handle on the first level, so I’ll head out first. If you need anything, you can find ."
"Take care, Lord Liu."
Jiang Feng saw Liu Shanhai off.
He looked at the environnt of the third level.
He didn’t feel a bit of joy at becoming the Prison Chief here.
On the contrary, he felt increasingly tense.
Knowing that those who could be detained on the third level were not only Senior Officials of the Court but also Royal Family and Relatives, these people were not only hard to serve but sotis even after heavy punishnt, they could be released in a few days.
Even if they had been locked up for many years.
Sotis a certain noble or the Emperor would rember, and with one word from above, they would be reinstated to their positions imdiately.
If not properly taken care of, it would lead to endless trouble in the future.
Conversely, if too close to these people, it would also displease those above.
In short.
Although being on the third level seed glamorous and entailed more benefits, the risk factor was higher, and if one wasn’t careful, it would lead to complete ruin.
"Prison Chief Jiang, the three of us Squad Leaders pooled so money together and arranged a banquet at Fengyue Building tonight to welco you and wash off the dust, you must co!"
Chief Wang, with a pair of triangular eyes, ca up eagerly, speaking cheerfully.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I won’t go to Fengyue Building. Tell the brothers not to spend too much."
Jiang Feng said, patting Chief Wang on the shoulder.
"Prison Chief Jiang, this is just a small gesture from the brothers, with no other intentions. If you refuse, they’ll definitely bla later."
Chief Wang said with a smiling face.
Jiang Feng understood that if he refused, the Squad Leaders under him would certainly overthink it, as they say, ’a new broom sweeps clean,’ so he said, "I really have sothing else tonight, let’s do it another day, arrange it at your house next ti, we’ll just have so salted vegetables and tofu, and chat to get closer."
"Alright, it’s settled then, I’ll call you another ti."
Chief Wang was overjoyed.
The Prison Chief having a al at his ho was truly treating him as one of their own.
Jiang Feng returned to his workroom.
He reviewed so related docunts placed inside.
From being a Little Prison Guard to becoming a third-level Prison Chief, overseeing three Squad Leaders.
Jiang Feng found his work to be much more relaxed, no longer needing to deliver als to prisoners, but he had to constantly supervise the efficiency of his Squad Leaders, ensuring they managed their Guards well, avoided trouble, and didn’t displease those above.
For a ti, Jiang Feng found it all a headache.
He really wished he could go back to the first level, continue as a Little Prison Guard, where aside from cleaning and delivering als to prisoners, he didn’t have to think about anything else, living steadily and cautiously.
"Who is the new Prison Chief Jiang?"
Outside the workroom, a Prison Chief and two Guards arrived.
The Guards and the Prison Chief wore the sa style of clothing, but the characters on their chest were different; one had "Guard" written on it, and the other had "Chief," and there were so differences in their hats as well.
The Prison Chief’s hat had two rooster feathers.
The Guards didn’t have any.
Moreover, Prison Chiefs all carried a personal saber, which could be slung over their waist, and this saber could be taken out of the prison and carried with them.
It could be said.
Little Prison Guards and Squad Leaders were considered non-staff personnel by the Court.
While a Prison Chief didn’t have a rank, they had entered the system and were protected by the Court.
Jiang Feng looked around.
Aside from him, there was no one else inside the workroom.
The other party, bringing two Guards, asked who was Prison Chief Jiang at his workroom door, wasn’t this clearly wanting to give him a hard ti?
Royal Family and Relatives.
Senior Officials of the Court.
Powerful figures from the Jianghu.
These were not people he could afford to offend.
But such a small Prison Chief, Jiang Feng wouldn’t take to heart.
Don’t forget he has Fifth Grade Blood Refining Realm Cultivation, is a Middle Third Grade Martial Artist, and with such strength, as long as Jiang Feng desires, he could ask the Court for a position as a Sixth-Grade Official at any ti.
In Zhenbei Prison, at least an official position like Officer Yuan.
A Ninth-Grade Skin Refining Realm little Prison Chief playing tricks before him, Jiang Feng inwardly chuckled.
As they say, if people don’t offend , I don’t offend them; if people offend , sotis I can still endure.
Jiang Feng hurried to his feet and said, "That’s , are you looking for ?"
After all, having just been transferred to the third level, he still had to maintain good relations with colleagues to avoid being sabotaged, so Jiang Feng endured it.
"Prison Chief Jiang, what a great sense of authority, no wonder Captain Li said, why you’ve never gone to see him since you ca in."
Prison Chief Sun spoke with a sarcastic tone.
Jiang Feng was montarily stunned, he had forgotten about that, it seed Prison Chief Sun was sent by Captain Li.
This was how the officialdom worked.
The first thing a new official should do on taking office is to pay a visit to the leaders.
Captain Li was surely waiting for this new Prison Chief to visit him.
And knowing he was transferred from the first level, originally just a Little Prison Guard.
Unexpectedly, he was ignored by soone like this.
"It just so happens, I was just thinking about what Commander Han had instructed, and lost track of ti, I’ll go see Captain Li right now."
Jiang Feng with a face full of apology, hurriedly explained.
This made Prison Chief Sun’s expression change slightly.
They all knew that Jiang Feng’s transfer from the first level to the third level as Prison Chief was recognized by Commander Han Dong of Commander Han.
They feared Jiang Feng indeed had a relationship with Han Dong.
So he said, "I was afraid Prison Chief Jiang might forget, so I ca to remind you, let’s go, I’ll take you to see Captain Li."
"Alright, much appreciated."
Jiang Feng nodded his head, following behind Prison Chief Sun, his submissive posture made Prison Chief Sun’s eyes show so disdain.
So ti later, Jiang Feng arrived at the door of Captain Li’s workroom.
"Captain Li, I am Jiang Feng, the new third-level Little Prison Chief, here to report to you."
Jiang Feng stood at the door and bowed in greeting.
"Clatter!"
Inside the workroom.
Captain Li was pouring tea.
Behind him stood three Prison Chiefs just like Jiang Feng, each possessing Ninth-Grade Skin Refining strength.
Captain Li seed not to hear Jiang Feng’s voice.
He went about pouring himself tea.
As the Captain of the third level, both in rank and strength, he was higher than the first level’s Liu Shanhai.
He had never been neglected by a Prison Chief before, Jiang Feng was the first.
So he pretended not to hear, deliberately giving Jiang Feng the cold shoulder for the other Prison Chiefs to see.
Jiang Feng imdiately recognized this as a display of authority.
He was most bothered by this kind of tactic.
But there was no other way; to survive in the officialdom, one has to be tactful, endure when necessary, especially since Captain Li was his superior, if he didn’t establish a good relationship with him, any maneuver could cause him a lot of trouble in the future.
Thus, he beca even more respectful, "The new Little Prison Chief Jiang Feng greets Captain Li!"
