Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

The next morning, Hull came to his office as usual.

As soon as he entered the door, Hull noticed something was wrong.

His seat was empty, and his personal belongings were thrown into the corner of the office, piled up like garbage.

How is this going?

He looked up at his secretary, Edmund.

The other person's eyes were obviously evasive.

The other three junior government officials were also different from usual, as if they didn't see Hull at this moment.

He just sat in his seat doing his own thing and didn't even say hello to Hull.

But it was obvious that their peripheral vision was always paying attention to Hull's every move, as if they were on guard.

"What's going on here?"

In the office where everyone was present, no one answered Hull's question.

Hull walked up to the secretary Edmund and asked: "Why are my things all on the floor?"

Secretary Edmund hesitated for a long time before he finally said "I don't know".

His expression was as if he was hiding from the plague god.

The other three were also afraid of being stared at by Hull, so they all lowered their heads.

Hull smiled bitterly. It seemed that the acting consul had finally taken action.

Look at everyone's attitude and the situation at your own desk.

I was either fired or demoted, right?

The former is unlikely. After all, Hull is a general appointed directly by the central government. He can only be removed from his post if he is caught with some serious crime.

It is very likely that Hull was demoted as a punishment because he failed to push any policy plan through review during this period?

This also explains Edmund and the others' attitude.

A mid-level civil servant who has fallen from power will definitely not be able to survive in the Territory of East.

Naturally, they have also lost the dignity that they should have as normal people. Everyone avoids them as much as possible, simply for fear of being implicated.

Edmund and his friends were just minor characters, and Hull had only known them for more than a month. Even though they got along well with each other, they were more afraid of being targeted by the upper echelons than standing in solidarity with Hull.

The right thing to do is to draw a clear line in time.

This is what is meant by "when people leave, the tea gets cold and when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down".

Perhaps a colleague who was working together happily the day or even the minute before may become a stranger the moment the notice of dismissal or demotion comes down.

No...they even avoid you more than strangers do.

This is why Hull never trusts anyone easily.

Especially in the workplace, relationships between people are always maintained based on interests and positions.

It was for this reason that Hull did not hesitate to use all means to tie the senior government official Gilder to himself.

Thanks to the advance preparations, otherwise after the war with Nur Ghana, Hull would be isolated by the entire government department in an instant.

There are many problems in East Territory, and everyone who can survive here is a smart person.

No matter how well you get along with others and how good you treat them, when problems arise, everyone will wisely choose to protect themselves.

Now that Hull has been demoted, there is no possibility for them to turn things around, so naturally it is time to cut ties.

Mean, indifferent, opportunistic, realistic - this is how small people survive in the workplace.

Hull didn't say much, he just walked to the bookcase where the documents were stored and started rummaging through them.

Edmund and the others looked at each other, as if they were afraid of incurring Hull's wrath, or being misunderstood as colluding with Hull, so no one stepped forward to stop them, and no one came to help.

Hull took out several stacks of documents in front of everyone.

"These are the policy proposals I personally prepared and submitted. Unfortunately, they were rejected one by one by the Acting Archon. I will revise them and submit them again."

Hull opened the stacks of documents and showed them to them.

But no one responded to him. At this moment, Hull was like air standing in the office.

Hull smiled bitterly, obviously there was no place for him in the office at this moment.

Staying here any longer would be humiliating.

Hull immediately packed up his personal belongings, took the documents he had found, and strode out of his office without caring whether it was working hours or not.

Around ten o'clock, Minister of State Affairs Goering sent someone to notify that the State Affairs Department would hold an emergency meeting in the conference room.

Hull also came to the large conference room of the Ministry of Government Affairs as requested.

To Hull's surprise, Noor Ghana was also sitting in the last row of the conference room with his secretaries to listen.

After seeing Hull, he nodded to Hull with a somewhat disgusting smile on his face.

Hull ignored him, as if he didn't see him, and went straight to his seat and sat down.

This made Nur Ghana's expression look a little ugly.

Minister Goering was standing on the podium, and next to him stood a tall and thin middle-aged man.

"I'm here to announce a few things to you. First, the successor to Senior Political Assistant Officer Badeda is Political Assistant Officer Moina. He will take on the responsibilities of Senior Political Assistant Officer. I hope that we can all get along well in the future."

The man looked to be about forty years old, with small eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth, a goatee on his chin, and a thin figure.

"Hello everyone, I'm Moyna, I will try my best not to hold you back, please take care of me."

He bowed politely in a somewhat reserved tone, and applause broke out from the audience.

Goering took the letter of commission from the secretary and handed it to Moina.

Moina took the letter of appointment and bowed deeply to Goering, then bowed to Noor Gana who was sitting in the last row.

After saying a lot of nonsense like thanking the empire for its trust, thanking the leaders for their appreciation, and hoping to work hard and devote himself to the prosperity of East Territory, Moina walked down the podium with the letter of appointment.

But when he sat down in the audience, his eyes were fixed on Hull.

Hull pretended not to see it and his face remained calm.

Goering coughed at this time: "Well, next I will announce another demotion."

"Political Officer Hull."

"Yes." When his name was called, Hull immediately stood up from his seat.

"From today on you are demoted to a junior political official."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them suddenly changed.

Especially the secretary Edmund and three other subordinates, they were whispering, seemingly discussing whether they would be implicated.

Hull showed an expression that he had expected this: "Okay, I understand."

"…Hmm? Don't you have anything to ask?"

"No." Hull answered directly.

Normally, if someone is suddenly demoted, the person involved will definitely ask the reason for the demotion.

But is this really necessary?

It was impossible for them to admit it in front of so many people. Was it because Hull scolded Nur Ghana that they had bad intentions and were taking revenge in private?

All that can be said are empty pretenses like lack of ability, failure to produce results, and not getting along well with colleagues.

You've gotten yourself into trouble for nothing, so there's no need to ask. Asking would actually be exactly what you want.

Besides, Hull wouldn't fly into a rage.

When being maliciously targeted, it is even more necessary to maintain a decent state.

Those who wrong you know the injustice better than you do.

Those who target you just want to cause you harm, and to provoke Hull into getting emotional, this actually fulfills their wish.

It's better to lose the game than the battle. The more these people want to see Hull make a fool of himself in public, the more Hull wants to put on a more decent attitude.

We cannot allow them to justify unjust punishment.

It will make bystanders who hear the punishment result have doubts in their hearts and doubt whether such punishment is reasonable.

And to demote Hull, they only needed to send a notice.

The announcement was made in front of all members of the Government Department, obviously just to see Hull make a fool of himself in public.

Hull would not let the other party's plan succeed. If he argued now, he would be at a disadvantage. It would be better to be open and accept it calmly, pretending not to care.

However, Hel's direct superior, Gilder, had his hands folded across his chest with his brows twisted into a knot. Everyone standing next to him could feel his dissatisfaction at the moment.

“This is too much...”
