Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

When Lu Xu entered the conference room, he was not in a hurry to speak, he just pulled up a chair and sat on the side to see what they had to say.

As the best of the gods of death, Lu Xu's business ability has always been recognized as the strongest.Don't look at him looking young and smiling, if you really provoke him, you don't know how cruel he will be.

Originally, he insisted on severely punishing Xie An, but now he subconsciously restrained himself in front of Lu Xu.

It's just that the Eastern District is really a big market. Seeing that Lu Xu's business is doing so well, there are not a few people who want to make a move.

It wasn't long before Peng Hanfei became the god of death, so he didn't understand why the minister was so afraid of Lu Xu.From his point of view, Lu Xu takes the same head as them, so there is no need to be so scruples about professional equality.

Besides, in the name of his position, Lu Xu grabbed so many orders in their area and was exposed.The other ministries knew about this incident and didn't say anything on the surface, so they had long ridiculed them in private.

The more Peng Hanfei thought about it, the more angry he felt, he just felt that these were all caused by Lu Xu, so why should he look at his face and talk.

"Everyone's opinions have been expressed very clearly. Xie An was convicted of covering up stowaways. He should have been severely punished so as to serve as a warning to others."

Peng Hanfei spoke first, and the others followed suit——

"That's right, it's not a trivial matter to cover up stowaways. If you don't get caught, who knows what will happen later."

"Yes, such low-level mistakes cannot be made. This is a blasphemy against our profession."

"Severely punished, must be severely punished!"

……

Lu Xu looked over one by one, stroking the table with his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that the staff of several districts became more and more excited as they talked, they wished to put a big hat on Xie An and go directly to the [-]th floor of hell.

The minister did not rush to speak, but listened silently to their argument.After they had finished talking, they looked at Lu Xu and said, "Xiao Lu, Xie An is your subordinate, what do you think about this matter?"

Before Lu Xu could speak, someone next to him secretly poked and said, "Lu Xu, you can't just cover Xie An just because he's your subordinate. Otherwise, what authority does our God of Death have?"

Lu Xu took a look at the person who spoke, and recognized him as the god of death in the North District. There was no emotion on his face, he just smiled and nodded: "Of course, since Xie An made a mistake, he should bear the consequences. no?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded, Lu Xu. I thought you would take into account the friendship of your colleagues and help him to say a word and beg for mercy." These words obviously seemed to be praising Lu Xu for setting up righteousness to kill relatives, but if you take a closer look, you will It was discovered that Lu Xu had no heart.

In any case, Xie An has worked under him for more than 40 years, and his previous work performance is obvious to all.It's right to make a mistake now, but it's really nothing for Lu Xu to intercede as his colleague or friend.Pushing Xie An out without hesitation now will inevitably make people think that he is timid and ruthless.If this matter gets out, other people probably have other thoughts in their hearts.

Lu Xu didn't care what they thought, he just showed that his attitude was to follow the rules.Then he took a deep look at that person, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched into a smile: "By the way, did you catch a stowaway two years ago in the northern district, and he stayed in Yangjian for 60 years because he didn't have registration information?"

"Forehead……"

The god of death in the northern district didn't expect that the topic of Lu Xu would suddenly come to them, but what Lu Xu said was still true, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered: "There is something wrong, but that is the reason for the loss of data..."

"The data is lost?" Lu Xu shrugged his shoulders as if he had heard something funny, "The Ministry of Death is responsible for the data, so to put it bluntly, it is the responsibility of the North District. I would like to ask what the punishment was at that time. , can be used as a reference today, isn’t it?”

Lu Xu just sat there leaning on the chair and laughed, his tone was flat and his expression was natural, as if he was really asking a simple question.

"..."

People in the North District looked at me and I looked at you, and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.

When the problem was discovered back then, the stowaway was arrested. Except for a few verbal words, he had to be careful in his work, and there was no punishment.

Seeing this, Peng Hanfei couldn't help wanting to stand out, so he came up and said: "What happened three years ago is nothing compared to now..."

Hearing this, Lu Xu turned to look at him, with a glimmer of leisure in his eyes, as if he was about to ask for trouble.

The leader of Southwest felt that something was wrong at first glance, and just as he was about to remind Peng Hanfei to say a few words less, Lu Xu on the other side had already opened his mouth.

"Things from three years ago have no reference, so how about recently?" Lu Xu looked at the location of the Southwest God of Death Department as he spoke, and spread his hands, "If I remember correctly, Lai Chengshan was originally under your management, right? The lingering undead in Devil's Bay. This is also considered a job error, so what is the punishment from the Southwest Death Department?"

No one expected that Lu Xu not only remembered things in his own area clearly, but also remembered things in other areas clearly.

Speaking of, which district has no mistakes, if we really have to strictly calculate it, I am afraid that the impact caused by Xie An is almost the same.

Those who were clamoring to be severely punished suddenly lost their voices, blushing in fear that Lu Xu would point out their mistakes.

Feeling unwilling, Peng Hanfei sneered, "So what you mean is that Xie An doesn't have to accept punishment."

"Of course not." Lu Xu suppressed his smile for a moment, with a serious and arrogant expression, "The principle of our east is to act according to the law, and the rules are the rules. If we don't follow the rules, the world will be in chaos. I didn't want to tell Xie An I beg you, but I have to make two points clear. First, Xie An is not covering up stowaways. Lu Xingliang saved three children, so he is essentially different from those stowaways who are in trouble. Second, Xie An's ability to work is obvious to all. One mistake was his fault, but if you refer to the methods of dealing with mistakes in various districts, you should not be dismissed directly."

After Lu Xu said this, he didn't continue. His attitude was very clear, he would neither cover up nor accept heavy punishment.

The minister glanced at Lu Xu meaningfully, and unconsciously lowered his eyes to hide his smile - Lu Xu, boy, tsk tsk.

After Lu Xu finished expressing his opinion, the others looked at each other, but no one said anything more.

The minister cleared his throat when he saw this, and clapped his palms to signal everyone to come over: "I think everyone's opinions should be relatively unified now, right? Xie An's handling of this matter is indeed against the relevant regulations of the Death Code. We can't turn a blind eye to this behavior and must be severely punished. But considering that he didn't make a deal for personal gain, and it didn't cause particularly serious consequences, there is no need to dismiss him..."

At the end of the meeting, the minister still made a punishment decision——

Xie An, as a prefectural civil servant, did not follow the rules and regulations of the God of Death, and the rank of the God of Death was downgraded from official to intern, and he was sent to prefecture-level cities to work.After he passes the grade test, he will be restored to the status of a regular worker, provided that he does not make any more mistakes.

As for the stranded Lu Xingliang, although he has contributed to saving lives, it is wrong to stay illegally.I could have enjoyed the VIP reincarnation service, but now I am waiting for the lottery like other ghosts.

Lu Xu seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and he accepted it if he didn't object.

This punishment is not light, and the God of Reaper in other divisions can't say anything more, so it can be regarded as agreeing with this decision.

After the meeting was over, everyone left in groups discussing in small voices, but Lu Xu was left in the meeting room by the minister.

"Xiao Lu, how is the work going?"

The organization sent Lu Xu in the past to investigate Ji Xiunian. Some of the members who were sent before had been squatting for two years without finding anything. Lu Xu has only been in two months, so he is not particularly anxious.

Thinking of Ji Xiunian, Lu Xu inevitably hesitated: "Minister, are you sure that Ji Xiunian is really a stowaway?"

Through this period of getting along, Lu Xu felt more and more that Ji Xionian really didn't have the despicability of a stowaway.Although he narrowly escaped death several times, this is not evidence to conclude that he is a stowaway.

"We're not sure about this, so we have to rely on you to check." Thinking of the three subordinates who had defected, the minister could not help telling Lu Xu, "Regardless of whether Ji Xiunian is a stowaway or not, you must stay sober." , don’t be fooled by his appearance.”

"It's almost as if I've confused him." Lu Xu didn't take this to heart, only thought that the minister was worrying unfoundedly.

The minister also didn't think that Lu Xu was the kind of person who could be easily bewitched, so he immediately smiled and said, "Of course I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you there. By the way, Xie An can't go back to the east for the time being. Do you want to transfer someone from another area to you, or re-select the god of death to bring it to you?"

"I don't like old fried dough sticks, so you'd better give me a blank sheet of paper." The atmosphere in other districts is different from that in the east, and there are inevitably some goofy things.Instead of finding such a person to work with, it is better to choose a novice to bring it yourself.

Even if the process is a bit hard, at least it will be worry-free to cooperate afterwards.

The minister has known Lu Xu for so many years, so he was not surprised by his choice at all. He just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you in the next two days. By the way, Xie An, do you want to go and have a look..."

Even if the minister didn't say anything, Lu Xu was still going to meet Xie An, so he saw him off in advance.

During the period of being locked up in the investigation team, Xie An looked a lot rounder, and even his pale face looked a little more lustrous than before.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xu wasn't too worried.

It's just that Xie An was different, seeing Lu Xu from a distance, he cried out, "Brother Xu, I'm sorry..."

Xie An knew that what he did violated the relevant regulations, and he was ready to bear the most severe punishment.But when the penalty notice came, he realized that it was just a downgrade, and with his ability to work hard, he would soon regain his original title.

It's just that the trainee Reaper can't stay in Dongcheng, Xie An doesn't feel ashamed of the prefecture-level city, but he still feels sorry for Lu Xu.

When he was not around, Lu Xu was busy recording the show and collecting people at the same time, it was not easy to think about it.

Xie An began to feel that one person was responsible for doing things, but now he found that when he made a wrong decision, other people would also be affected.For example, Lu Xu didn't have to work so hard, but now he has to deal with the work that belongs to two people independently.

Lu Xu didn't blame him or anything, but couldn't help but ask him: "Why Lu Xingliang?"

Every year, people die because of saving lives, and among so many "heroes", Lu Xingliang is not the only one.

Almost everyone has family members, and the first reaction after death is reluctance.So many people begging Xie An didn't violate the rules, it happened that Lu Xingliang was special, Lu Xu always felt that there were other reasons.

Xie An sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, then sighed: "When I looked at him, I felt like I saw myself..."

Xie An actually didn't know until now that he just saved a few people in the water, and how he became the god of death.

He only remembered that he was very dazed when he died, completely unaware that he was dead.

"I just squatted over there and watched them salvage my body, thinking that it would be great if I could go home and see my family. But at that time, I didn't say anything, and followed the minister to the underworld to register. I thought I was going to send I went to reincarnate, and it turned out to be a training job. You also know that death means that everything in the world has nothing to do with us. I haven’t visited my family, but occasionally I wonder if it would be better if there was a farewell ..."

It was the first time that Lu Xu heard Xie An mention his past, he raised his hand and patted Xie An on the shoulder: "Okay, don't think about the past and look forward. Go over there and work hard, don't make such low-level mistakes again .”

Thinking of not being able to work under Lu Xu in the future, Xie An couldn't help feeling a little sad.

In his eyes, Lu Xu is always calm and composed, and will never make a mistake.He will not be influenced by others, and he has never had any mood swings.As Xie An thought about it, he suddenly became curious about what Lu Xu would be like before he became the god of death.

Seeing that Lu Xu was about to leave, Xie An couldn't help shouting behind his back: "Brother Xu, thank you."

Lu Xu didn't look back, but just waved his hands: "Okay, goodbye friend."

"Goodbye Brother Xu!" Xie An could hold back at first, but tears flowed out after saying "goodbye".

I thought it was a pity that I didn't have time to say goodbye, but I didn't expect that it would be so sad to say goodbye in person.

He suddenly regretted——

If I hadn't softened my heart at the beginning, then everything now would not have happened.

In the final analysis, he did something wrong himself, and it has nothing to do with others.

When the minister came out, he saw Xie An staring at Lu Xu's back in a daze, and said jokingly, "Xiao Lu looks a little indifferent, will you be sad?"

Xie An shook his head: "No, brother Xu is not indifferent, his heart is the hottest."

Even though he never showed concern, Xie An knew that Lu Xu was fine.

"It's good that you know, and it's not in vain that Xiao Lu has done so much for you." The minister suddenly remembered something, "By the way, that Lu Xingliang wanted to see you, and said he wanted to apologize to you in person."

Hearing the name Lu Xingliang again, Xie An couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's not only him and me who are at fault, so I'm not qualified to accept this apology. If the minister has nothing to do, I'll pack up and leave. I will always remember today."

"Go."

The minister sent Xie An away, and thinking of the result of the discussion with Lu Xu just now, he couldn't help but call the talent department of the underworld: "We need to add a position of death here, please help us enter the conditions... Mmm, we need talents urgently, the sooner The better."
