The second half of the exam wasn't as much fun.
The assessment content had strict indicators and was personally invigilated by Fu Xuan herself.
Even if others wanted to suck up to Chu Ze, they definitely couldn't do it in front of Fu Xuan.
Fortunately, Chu Ze was already skilled.
His business abilities had progressed rapidly through his recent studies and practice.
In the end, he successfully passed the exam set by Fu Xuan and was officially recognized by all members of the Taiyan Division as the General Affairs Secretary.
"This way, you are now qualified to truly take over the work of the secretary."
Fu Xuan led Chu Ze and opened the door to the secretary's office, which had been closed for a long time:
"This is the place where the previous secretary used to work. But she willingly fell from grace, defected from the Xianzhou, and became a filth of the Plague Author."
"Now that you're here, this room belongs to you."
Chu Ze felt a little embarrassed hearing this:
"Why is it another defector? The Xianzhou is almost catching up to the Black Organization, there are traitors everywhere."
"...Although I don't understand what you're talking about, slandering the Xianzhou will get you criticized and educated."
Fu Xuan glanced at him, then added:
"After becoming an official secretary, you can issue orders in the office and handle important documents on my behalf."
"And according to the personnel system, you can also deploy no more than five secretarial assistants to help you with some work."
Secretarial assistants, huh.
Chu Ze thought for a moment and actually had a suitable candidate in mind:
"Then let's transfer Qingque over. It's convenient to exploit... ah no, to communicate with her."
Fu Xuan looked at him helplessly:
"You were about to say exploit, weren't you? You were definitely about to say exploit."
"But this is also good. This seat has long had its eye on Qingque and wanted to entrust her with important responsibilities."
"Letting you train her and help her focus in advance is also a good choice."
In just a few words, Qingque's fate was decided.
With a transfer order from Fu Xuan, Qingque's position was officially changed from treasurer to secretarial assistant.
She herself didn't feel there was anything wrong with it and was even a little happy, as her salary and benefits also increased after the transfer.
And so, in this atmosphere of mutual joy, the Taiyan Division's Secretariat, under Chu Ze's supervision, officially began its operations.
...
...
"Meeting—adjourned—!"
Inside the Secretariat.
Chu Ze, dressed in his uniform, sat in the center, looking dignified and majestic.
Following his sonorous shout, Assistant Qingque stepped forward and knelt on one knee:
"Long live the Secretary! Long live, long live, long live!"
"Rise, my dear minister!"
Chu Ze shook his head:
"Today, Assistant Qingque has shown loyalty and diligence. She is hereby enfeoffed as the Grand General of the Secretariat's Army, Navy, and Air Force, to govern the Taiyan Division with me!"
"Furthermore, you are granted the privilege of entering the chamber without haste, being announced without your name, wearing your sword and shoes in the hall, bearing the yellow battle-axe, receiving the nine bestowments, wearing a crown with twelve tassels, and remotely governing as the Grand President of the Zhuming Xianzhou!"
Qingque was overjoyed and kowtowed in gratitude:
"Thank you, Secretary... oh no, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fu Xuan, who had just come in for an inspection, couldn't hold it in anymore:
"You two are having a lot of fun, even started role-playing?"
Chu Ze immediately held out his hand:
"Halt, what rat dares to intrude upon the Secretariat?"
"Guards, bring out the dog-head guillotine!"
Fu Xuan didn't indulge him and directly threw out a formation seal, flipping Chu Ze's desk over:
"You can keep this dog-head guillotine for yourself."
"By the way, are you two so idle that you're not handling any work at all?"
Chu Ze pointed to the empty filing cabinet:
"There's nothing to do."
Fu Xuan reminded him:
"With this free time, you might as well learn how to work online."
"Of the three conditions I told you about, there's still one that hasn't been met. Before you learn to work online, this seat has no intention of letting you leave the Xianzhou."
"Hmm? What conditions?" Qingque came over curiously to join the fun.
But Chu Ze and Fu Xuan looked at her in unison, both showing expressions of pity.
Qingque immediately panicked:
"Eh, eh, eh? Why are you looking at me like that? Is something bad going to happen?"
She didn't know yet that she had been jointly sold out by Chu Ze and Fu Xuan.
After Chu Ze took his leave, all the work of the Taiyan Division's Secretariat would be handled by her alone.
"Ahem, back to the main topic."
Fu Xuan coughed lightly and took the initiative to change the subject.
She took out a file folder from her sleeve and placed it in front of Chu Ze:
"Here's a document. Open it and take a look."
"Oh? Is it a marriage application?" Chu Ze took the document solemnly: "No need to look, I agree directly. When are we getting our license?"
"In your dreams!"
Fu Xuan lifted her white-stockinged leg and stomped hard on Chu Ze's instep.
But Chu Ze, on the contrary, had a look of enjoyment on his face, his voice full of pleasure: "Thank you for the treat..."
"???"
Something's wrong with you!
Considering that Qingque was still an outsider, Fu Xuan took a deep breath and ultimately didn't lash out further:
"This is an overview of the basic duties of a secretary. You can take a look when you have time."
"By the way, there will be a meeting of the Six Commissions' General Affairs Secretaries at the Seat of Divine Foresight tomorrow. All attendees will be the secretaries of each commission and their assistants."
"You, the new secretary of the Taiyan Division, also have to go, so remember to prepare in advance. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me anytime."
Chu Ze gave an OK gesture:
"Don't worry, I'll come to your place tonight to ask questions thoroughly. I promise not to embarrass our Taiyan Division."
"Very good."
Fu Xuan nodded in satisfaction and left the office.
And after hearing her footsteps fade away, Chu Ze directly tossed the file folder to Qingque:
"Little Sparrow, I have an important task for you."
"Read this document, then summarize the useful information and verbally report it to me."
Qingque's eyes widened: "And you?"
Chu Ze chuckled: "Of course, I'm going to message my friends and brag about my official promotion. Don't worry, I have great faith in your abilities. you'll definitely get the job done!"
Well, thank you for your faith!
Qingque complained loudly in her heart.
She suddenly felt that being transferred to the Secretariat wasn't as leisurely as she had imagined.
And her past life of slacking off seemed to be gradually floating away into the air, getting farther and farther away from her...
As for Chu Ze, he was already happily messaging his friends.
[Chu Ze]: What? How did you know I was officially appointed as a secretary and even formed an office?
[Herta]: ?
[Chu Ze]: Mhm, that's right, real power. Under one person and above ten thousand in the Taiyan Division.
[Herta]: ???
[Herta]: Who asked you!
Satisfying.
Chu Ze sent an emoji to end the conversation.
Then he opened another person's chat box.
[Chu Ze]: Huh? How did you know I got officially promoted and even gained real power?
[Silver Wolf]: ...
[Silver Wolf]: Because a father knows his son best.
[Chu Ze]: ?
This time it was Chu Ze's turn to type a question mark.
After a long while, he finally replied to Silver Wolf with a middle finger emoji.
[Silver Wolf]: That's it? Not enough damage.
[Silver Wolf]: Type 1 and I'll send you a compendium of roasts, the kind that will make your opponent question their existence.
[Chu Ze]: 111, are you really sending it, big bro?
[Silver Wolf]: 「Debate-Winning Roasts (Silver Wolf's Compiled Edition, for internal Stellaron Hunter circulation only).zip」
[Silver Wolf]: Unzip code is 114514. Take it and use it.
[Chu Ze]: Thanks, Sis Wolf, you're the best!
Happily accepting the compressed file, Chu Ze's expression suddenly froze. What was he about to do just now?
Forget it, he forgot. He'll think about it later.
Anyway, he should save the compendium of roasts first. It might come in handy later...
