Chapter 28

Inside the personnel director's office.

"Oh? You're interested in this person, Yoon Kook-hong?" Qin Yijiao subconsciously frowned after hearing Jin Yunho's intention.

"Yes, I wonder if you know anything about him?" Jin Yunho asked, seemingly oblivious to Qin Yijiao's expression.

"Heh heh, he's quite a celebrity in our inspection department. It's hard not to know him," Qin Yijiao replied with a smile, then proceeded to introduce some details about Yoon Kook-hong:

"How should I put it? He's an investigator that prosecutors both love and hate. They love him because he's exceptionally capable. Many difficult cases that involve complex investigations are quickly resolved when they get to him. They hate him because he has a peculiar habit: he always arrives and leaves on time."

"Arrives and leaves on time? Isn't that a good thing? Never being late for work is quite rare," Shin Dong-hae, who didn't quite understand Qin Yijiao's implication, interjected.

"You're talking about being on time for work, but his quirk is being on time for both arriving and leaving. He's never late for work, but he also leaves right on time, never willing to work overtime for even a minute," Qin Yijiao answered with a chuckle, not minding Shin Dong-hae's interruption.

"Ah! He never works overtime? How can that be? When handling cases, time is so tight, and there are many instances where working through the night is necessary. If he doesn't work overtime, who will do the work?" Shin Dong-hae asked a series of questions, clearly surprised.

"Heh heh, that's why he's been working in the logistics department for three years," Qin Yijiao turned around and advised Jin Yunho:

"Before, there were prosecutors who appreciated his investigative skills and wanted him as a subordinate, but it didn't end well. Either they couldn't tolerate his quirks and dismissed him, or they couldn't handle the pressure from the team and the atmosphere, and were forced to dismiss him."

Jin Yunho understood that Qin Yijiao was giving him good advice, but he was determined to choose Yoon Kook-hong, this unique individual.

He valued Yoon Kook-hong's strengths and wasn't bothered by his quirks.

He wanted to see if he could handle Yoon Kook-hong, this double-edged sword.

Seeing Jin Yunho's resolve, Qin Yijiao stopped trying to dissuade him, thinking to himself: "Young people, always thinking they can handle difficult people and situations."

He was already prepared to wait for Jin Yunho to eventually give up and come to him to request a replacement for Yoon Kook-hong.

After selecting Yoon Kook-hong as his subordinate investigator, Jin Yunho had two investigators. Next, he needed to choose a clerk and a secretary.

While reviewing the files, he had already found a very satisfactory clerk.

Song Eun-ji, female, 27 years old, with two years of clerk experience, highly rated for her work ability, and from her photo, she seemed very steady.

However, when Jin Yunho mentioned her name, Qin Yijiao frowned again.

"Prosecutor Jin Yunho, why don't you choose someone else? This clerk, Song Eun-ji, isn't the best choice," Qin Yijiao suggested.

"Oh? Does she have any quirks?" Jin Yunho was surprised, wondering why he kept picking people Qin Yijiao didn't like. It was the same with Yoon Kook-hong, and now with Song Eun-ji.

Qin Yijiao organized his thoughts and said, "Well... she doesn't have any quirks, but she is very cold. Yes, that's the word, very cold. She rarely smiles or speaks, making her hard to get along with. Her previous prosecutor couldn't tolerate her personality and dismissed her."

Ice Queen? Heh heh, perfect!

Shin Dong-hae was usually a chatterbox, so she would balance things out.

It's her then.

To Qin Yijiao's surprise, Jin Yunho, defying expectations, chose the 'Ice Queen' Song Eun-ji.

Qin Yijiao was speechless. Other prosecutors were very cautious when selecting team members, trying to avoid those with obvious issues, but Jin Yunho did the opposite, actively choosing those with significant problems.

Is this guy missing a screw?

When it came to selecting the last secretary, Qin Yijiao, without waiting for Jin Yunho to suggest anyone, quickly interjected:

"Prosecutor Jin Yunho, the secretary's job is mainly to serve others, so someone diligent and quick to act is fine. I have a few candidates here, why don't you take a look?"

Ah! This Maitreya Buddha is so enthusiastic, waiting for this moment.

Jin Yunho immediately understood that Qin Yijiao was trying to use personal connections to place someone he knew as his team's secretary.

Jin Yunho wasn't a fool. After all the favors Qin Yijiao had done, he couldn't refuse this request.

"Heh heh, sure, the person you recommend must be very capable. I should thank you for that," Jin Yunho said, flattery making Qin Yijiao praise him as young and promising.

Qin Yijiao recommended a person named Lee Hye-na, 25 years old, a recent college graduate, and quite beautiful. As for her work ability? Jin Yunho chuckled.

As Qin Yijiao said, the secretary's job is mainly to serve others. As long as she is diligent and discreet, anyone would do. Moreover, Lee Hye-na was only 25, the same age as him and Shin Dong-hae, so Jin Yunho felt comfortable giving her tasks.

Thus, two investigators, one clerk, and one secretary were selected, each with their own characteristics:

Investigator Shin Dong-hae: upright, talkative, likes to imagine grand scenarios, and tends to pass gas when nervous.

Investigator Yoon Kook-hong: highly capable, but never works overtime.

Clerk Song Eun-ji: steady in appearance, highly capable, and described by Qin Yijiao as an 'Ice Queen.'

Secretary Lee Hye-na: a beauty, unknown work ability, and got the job through connections.

Adding Jin Yunho himself as the prosecutor, a five-person team was formed.

As for how this team would perform—Qin Yijiao shook his head, thinking: "Problems galore."

But Jin Yunho seemed completely unaware, looking spirited and energetic.

Accompanied by Qin Yijiao, Jin Yunho and Shin Dong-hae went to their new office.

Upon entering, the first impression was the size, and the second was the compactness.

According to the "Government Hall Management Regulations" in South Korea, the office space for different levels of civil servants is clearly defined.

For a prosecutor in a local inspection department, a third-level civil servant, the individual office space is 50 square meters. For an investigator, a staff officer, the individual office space is 17 square meters. For a clerk, the individual office space is 7 square meters. For a secretary, a general employee, the individual office space is also 7 square meters.

Additionally, the prosecutor's office must have a file storage area and an interrogation room, adding an extra 110 square meters of office space.

In total, the office space for a third-level prosecutor in a local inspection department is 208 square meters.

Although the total office space was large, it contained five desks, a long row of filing cabinets, making the office environment appear very compact.

The five desks were arranged in a square shape.

Jin Yunho's desk was diagonally opposite the door, close to the window. On his left and right were the desks of the two investigators. Directly opposite him were the desks of the clerk and the secretary.

The secretary's desk was near the door, convenient for greeting visitors and running errands.

The clerk's desk was a bit further inside, convenient for managing the filing cabinets behind her.

The office was equipped with air conditioning, a small refrigerator, and other household appliances, making it very comprehensive.

Jin Yunho took a quick look around and was very satisfied with his new office.

He then thanked Qin Yijiao for the thoughtful arrangement.

After Qin Yijiao left with a satisfied smile, Jin Yunho and Shin Dong-hae began tidying up their desks, waiting for the other team members to arrive.

Shin Dong-hae was very interested in his future colleagues, constantly chatting and speculating about their characteristics.

Jin Yunho quickly tidied up his desk without speaking, but he was also looking forward to the arrival of the other three.

...

Second update delivered. There will be one more update, which might be a bit late. If you can't wait, you can check it in the morning.

Using the internet at my in-laws' place is very inconvenient. As the old saying goes, even a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own humble abode. If the power doesn't come back tomorrow, I'll have to stay another day. Sigh.

Additionally, thank you to 'Qian Yan' for your strong support. Your voice is so sexy, hahaha.

Thank you to 'Ruyude Shui' for your strong support. Your Northeastern accent is so flavorful...
