Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 338 - 71. Jiang Cheng’s Gift! (10,000 characters 1/2)_2

They were now third, fourth-level Commissioners, mid-tier Awakeners. After fully digesting this wave of improvements, with another two occasions like this, they estimated that it wouldn’t take a month to reach higher-tier Awakeners, that is, second-level Commissioners.

They were only in their teens, not even twenty years old, and they had already become second-level Commissioners. Your next read is at novelbuddy

They could completely choose a civil position when it was time to differentiate between the literary and martial paths and then slowly accumulate seniority.

Even without any distinguished contributions, after slogging it out for four or five years, they would become first-level Commissioners nonetheless.

Afterward, they had decades of time ahead of them. As long as they came across an opportunity, they could rise to the position of a deputy department head.

Therefore, the moment the Security Bureau acknowledged their strength, agreed to their early employment, and matched them with appropriate ranks, their future became bright.

Thinking of this, gratitude swelled in the hearts of these students both towards Fang Ze and the Commoner Faction who sponsored them.

After all, although Fang Ze had provided them with an opportunity for barrier-free promotion, if it weren’t for the financial support of the Commoner Faction, they would have had to climb up slowly.

In the end, they might have to spend a year or two more to be promoted to second-level Commissioners. It wouldn’t be as quick as it was now.

A teenaged second-level Commissioner and a twenty-year-old second-level Commissioner are completely different scenarios…

So, their emotions were actually complicated.

They felt they should repay Fang Ze, but also that they should repay the Commoner Faction who sponsored them.

Without either of those, they wouldn’t have their today or their future.

Almost all of these students’ thoughts and considerations were within Fang Ze’s careful observation.

He shook his head slightly, without a hint of sound.

Indeed... the things obtained too easily are never cherished.

And a verbal contract is far too fragile.

This batch of students was considered a waste...

His original intention was to train them properly, allowing their strength to increase in a systematic fashion, while he pruned them at a leisurely pace and assessed them gradually.

As long as they remained loyal during this period, Fang Ze, along with the enhancement of his own power, would continue to support them during the Fuser phase.

But now... they were already out of control at the very beginning, capriciously hopping from one side to the other for short-term interests; hence, Fang Ze could no longer trust or support them.

After sending them into the Security Bureau, Fang Ze planned to go their separate ways and look for new subordinates.

Fang Ze felt that these students, who had not yet experienced the harsh realities of society, must still be filled with aspirations for the future.

They probably wouldn’t truly understand who had the upper hand in this matter until they lost his support.

When it comes to increasing one’s power, resources and abilities are indeed both indispensable.

But there are many, many people with resources. Those with the ability, however, are only himself...

While Fang Ze and the students had their divergent thoughts, the five officers had finished their discussion. They all provided opinions similar to Xun Yi’s, supporting Fang Ze to be the principal examiner for tomorrow’s examination.

Regarding the examination questions, Fang Ze would discuss them with the instructors of the training center upon returning today; the Personnel Department wouldn’t interfere, fully entrusting Fang Ze with autonomy.

Everything was set, and Fang Ze took the students out of the conference room.

No sooner had they left the conference room than many lower-level Commissioners, who had received the news and hence rushed to the third floor to wait for Fang Ze, swarmed around him, eager to make his acquaintance.

This one said he came from Qingshan City.

That one mentioned that his mother’s family used to live in the slums.

This one claimed he had always taken good care of the Nan Yi batch of students and was friends with them.

Another stated that he had long admired Fang Ze and wanted to study closely beside him.

Seeing the Commissioners’ excited and ingratiating faces, Fang Ze smiled and responded one by one and indeed engaged with them in conversation. He patiently inquired about their strength, departmental situation, family background.

Those Commissioners, who originally came just to be seen, did not expect Fang Ze to actually take them seriously, and thus, they became even more emotional and grateful.

In contrast to those students who hadn’t entered the Security Bureau and were still in the ’ivory tower,’ these lower-level Commissioners who had battled it out at the bottom of the Security Bureau for years understood the rules of society and this world better; they knew how important and precious an opportunity could be...

Meanwhile, the students who had been excited inside the room felt their passion cool as they witnessed this scene...

They were just young and inexperienced, tricked by some flattery, but not fools.

Seeing so many lower-level Commissioners coming up to curry favor with Fang Ze, they instinctively felt something was amiss and a sense of crisis rose within them...

They had originally thought that they and Fang Ze would "help each other succeed."

They enhanced their power and, in turn, added to Fang Ze’s accomplishments.

And Fang Ze accepted their resources and improved their abilities, probably making a profit in the process, which seemed mutually beneficial for both sides.

But now, looking at the crowd outside the meeting room, they suddenly realized... they might not be as important as they thought.

There are many people with money and resources but low strength.

But... it seems like only Fang Ze has such an Extraordinary Artifact...

At that thought, a sudden knot formed in the students’ hearts.

They began to feel... like they had probably made a mistake...

At that moment, the door to the conference room suddenly opened from the inside.

Bai Zhi, Xun Yi, and several other officers walked out.
