Chapter Eleven: Your Patronizing Air of Seniority

Page 1/3

“How do you all handle your duties? Huh? Especially the Security Department! How many times have I told you to frequently check the surveillance footage! Frequently check the footage! And the patrol robots’ reports must be reviewed immediately upon receipt!”
“You just won’t listen! After all, you all retired from the Second Military District—why won’t you obey orders and do your jobs properly? Now look at the huge mess you’ve caused, are you satisfied?”
“All members of the Security Department will have their salaries docked for three months! Both the director and deputy director will receive no year-end bonuses this year! Furthermore, all security personnel must undergo a background check within three days. Anyone found problematic will be dismissed immediately!”

As Jiang Suisui entered the small auditorium, she heard the director standing on the podium, raging angrily.
She was about to find a seat at the back when, in the next moment, the director cleared her throat and said,
“Xiao Jiang, you’re back? Come up on stage.”

Jiang Suisui pointed at herself in surprise, confirming the director was calling her, then quickly walked to the podium.
The director, previously furious, softened her expression somewhat upon seeing Jiang Suisui.
She patted Jiang Suisui’s shoulder. “Xiao Jiang, your brave deed deserves praise! Luckily you discovered the anomaly in time and intervened to save someone; otherwise, our Morning Star Kindergarten would have truly been doomed!”

There’s a world of difference between a child nearly having an accident inside the kindergarten but being saved, and a child being kidnapped outside and then rescued. The nature of the incidents is entirely distinct!
Their consequences, too, are vastly different.

Jiang Suisui smiled faintly. “It was my duty. I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.”
“That may be true,” the director scanned the crowd again, then added, “but not everyone shares your sense of responsibility and kindness. So I want to commend you and give you the bonus you deserve!”

Upon hearing “bonus,” Jiang Suisui thought for a moment. “Director, you don’t have to give me a bonus. I didn’t save anyone for the money.”

The director looked at Jiang Suisui deeply, seeming to understand her sentiment.
She nodded. “That’s fair. Talking about money feels vulgar. How about this: I’ll shorten your probation period from one month to one week. If all goes well during that time, you’ll be officially hired after a week. Plus, this month’s salary will be calculated as if you were a full-time employee, and your year-end bonus will be doubled.”

Jiang Suisui’s smile grew brighter. “Thank you, Director. I won’t disappoint your trust.”

It’s said that some rejoice while others grieve.
Jiang Suisui was happy, but Liu Song was miserable.

One of the kidnappers who was beaten nearly to death by Jiang Suisui and subsequently arrested by the police was Liu Dajun—Liu Song’s own younger brother.
Liu Song had been completely unaware of Liu Dajun’s reckless involvement in kidnapping Yun Zihao with accomplices.

At the time, Liu Song was sleeping in the dormitory and only learned of the incident when someone came looking for him.
Kidnapping a child was wrong, but Liu Dajun was his own brother!

Watching Jiang Suisui humming softly as she worked, Liu Song gritted his teeth in anger.
He couldn’t help himself and slammed his hand on the counter. “Xiao Jiang, what have I ever done to you? Why did you have to send Liu Dajun away? Don’t you know he’s my own brother?”

Jiang Suisui glanced up without stopping her equipment adjustments. “Master Liu, that’s a strange thing to say. It wasn’t me who forced Liu Dajun to kidnap the child. He committed a crime, and the police arrested him. What does that have to do with me?”

“It has everything to do with you!” Liu Song knew he was in the wrong, but he couldn’t swallow his anger. “If you hadn’t hurt him and rendered him immobile, he wouldn’t have been caught so quickly!”

“He has a four-year-old child at home. Now that he’s in jail, what about the kid? You’re really cold-hearted and heartless!”

Jiang Suisui nearly laughed at the absurdity of that argument.
She finished her adjustments and looked at Liu Song. “His child is a child, but does that mean other children aren’t? If it had been your child kidnapped, would you still want to cover for Liu Dajun?”

“Simply put, it’s because the knife didn’t cut you, so you don’t feel the pain.”

Liu Song stiffened his neck and continued, “You don’t understand, Yun Zihao isn’t just any child—he’s from the Yun family of Qinglong City…”

Before he could finish, the secretary of the dining administration department approached with a serious expression. “Liu Song, come with me to the director’s office.”

Liu Song’s heart sank. Shaking, he followed the secretary away.

It was nearly five o’clock in the afternoon when Jiang Suisui saw Liu Song return with a dark expression.
She pointed to the various ingredients she had already prepared. “I’ve taken care of everything. Just waiting for you to cook, Master Liu.”

Seeing Jiang Suisui acting as if nothing had happened, Liu Song was so furious he nearly had a heart attack.

He had been questioned by the police in the office and then scolded by the administration director all afternoon.
In the end, he was warned that he would be under close watch for a month, and any further irregularities could lead to immediate dismissal.

All of this was Jiang Suisui’s doing!

Jiang Suisui noticed Liu Song’s hostile gaze but showed no reaction, continuing to review the rewards granted by the system in her mind.

【Congratulations, host, for completing the emergency task. Rewards granted: Power Spinach x6, Healthy Carrots x6, Happy Apples x10, Pain Relief Pills x1, Teacher Points 2000.】

Another batch of ingredients—Jiang Suisui thought for a moment and decided to use some of the system’s rewards to cook later.

Seeing Liu Song still busy cooking, Jiang Suisui opened her holographic screen and searched online for what was needed to set up a food stall.

She already had a health certificate but still needed to apply for a stall from the relevant department, pay a deposit, and complete the necessary formalities. Beyond that, she would have to purchase various supplies for the stall herself.

“Jiang Suisui, it’s work hours now. Slacking off right under my nose—do you take me for a fool?”

Hearing this, Jiang Suisui closed her screen. “I’ve finished all my tasks for now. I was just looking over tomorrow’s menu to prepare in advance. Is there a problem?”

The more Liu Song looked at Jiang Suisui, the more irritated he became, but he couldn’t find a fault with her.
He sneered coldly, “Don’t think that just because the director shortened your probation to a week, your official hiring is guaranteed. I’ve seen plenty of interns like you who think they know everything.”

“I’ve also seen plenty who lean on their seniority like you,” Jiang Suisui retorted. Since she had already offended Liu Song, she didn’t bother to keep up appearances.
She wasn’t a patient person who could endure everything.

Liu Song clenched his fist but quickly relaxed it. Xiao Wu would be back tomorrow, and he had plenty of ways to deal with Jiang Suisui.

Seeing Liu Song suddenly lose his temper, Jiang Suisui found it odd but didn’t pursue the matter.
She finished the remaining work and began preparing extra meals for Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi.

Pork, corn, and carrot steamed dumplings.

The meat filling was handcrafted and minced finely, retaining a pleasant texture without losing its juiciness. It offered a rich yet smooth mouthfeel.

Mixed with sweet, juicy corn kernels and fresh, crisp carrot bits, the filling was flavorful without being greasy, with plenty of rich juice oozing out.

The dumpling wrappers were also made by Jiang Suisui—thin but not too thin, soft and elastic yet with a slight chewiness.

Since she made a large batch, after delivering the lunch boxes to the two, she ate a full large plate herself.

Her clock-out time was later than the kindergarten’s dismissal time, so Jiang Xingran and Jiang Yueyi waited for her in the classroom.

What she didn’t expect was that someone else was also waiting for her.
