Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

Since being demoted, Hull has moved out of his original dormitory.

He then found a place to live in the city, which was very convenient for him to move around.

After dealing with Lasoro's issue, Hull went back to his residence to get some things, and then returned to the castle.

Instead of going directly to the office to handle official business, he came to Gilder's office to plan the next step.

As soon as he entered the office, Heer discovered that in addition to Gilder and Secretary Kululi, there was another person in the office.

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.

"Political Officer Hull, you've come at the right time. You've already met this person. She's the newly appointed Senior Political Assistant Officer Moina."

"Hello, please take care of me."

The middle-aged man with a goatee greeted Hull in a warm voice, with a bit of politeness and pretentious humility in his attitude.

"Hello, I am Hel Heim, a junior government official. Please take care of me."

"I've heard about your story a long time ago. You were promoted twice in less than half a year. I didn't expect that you would be demoted after just over a month in East. It's really a pity."

"Yes."

"But you are an excellent civil servant. If you work hard, you will have a chance to be reinstated."

"Thank you."

"..."

Facing Heer's indifferent answer, Moina looked Heer up and down with a firm look, as if he was looking at a prey.

"Moina, is it about time for you to go back? I still have something to discuss with Political Officer Hull."

"…Gilder. Well, I hope you don't mind, but I think it's best not to talk to a junior political officer alone. This will not show your authority to the subordinates around you."

"You don't have to worry so much about the relationship between superiors and subordinates. As I said just now, Administrative Officer Hull is very outstanding and is a subordinate worth training."

"Having said that, I still think it's best not to skip your superior and discuss official business directly with this junior political officer. The relationship between superiors and subordinates should not be messed up. Besides, I think Political Officer Lasolo will be in a difficult position, right?"

"Hmm...you really are someone who is entangled in the relationship between superiors and subordinates."

“That’s just the way the organizational structure works.”

After hearing what Moina said, Gilder couldn't help scratching his head, thinking that this newly appointed political assistant was really troublesome.

He even dares to teach me how to do things. Is it true that he has Minister Goering and Noor Gana backing him up?

"Political Officer Hull, you also have to understand your own status. You have been demoted and are now just a junior political officer. It is best not to be too presumptuous."

"From a legal perspective, there is no provision that a lower-level government official cannot have a dialogue with a senior government official, right?"

"Law? Haha... I think you should consider why the organizational structure exists. You have your superiors. If there is any situation, you can report it directly to your superiors. Your superior Lasolo can then report to me. Finally, I will decide whether it is necessary to report it to Senior Political Officer Gilder."

"..."

Simply put, no matter what, you have to go through me to communicate with Gilder, right?

It seems that Minister Goering and Deputy Senior Archon Nur Ghana intend to cut off their connection with Gilder in this way.

Seeing that Hull didn't say anything, Moyna twirled his goatee as if he was thinking about something.

"Could it be that... you and Gilder are planning something? Are you going to discuss something that I and Senior Political Officer Lasolo can't know?"

"No, if that is your instruction, then I will follow your orders."

"Really? That's good."

The goateed man smiled.

"Well, I'll call Political Officer Lasolo over now. Political Officer Moina is here too, so putting this matter on the table in front of everyone can save some time in explaining it."

Hull spoke with certainty, but the man with a goatee smiled with contempt.

"I see. You seem to be very self-centered. This tendency is not good... I advise you not to act rashly. After all, Lasolo, the middle-level political officer, is very busy. Unlike you, he is now a middle-level political officer."

"The difference in job title is just the content of the work. People are equal after all. As for whether the middle-level political officer Lasolo can spare time for me, it depends on his willingness."

"Hehehe... That's why you were demoted. If you keep going like this, you might not even be able to keep your job as a lower-level political official."

"..."

Moina smiled mockingly and showed a look of contempt.

"Well, I'm not a rigid person. As long as Administrative Officer Rasoro has time, of course it's OK. Otherwise, please give up."

"……I see."

After saying that, Hull turned and walked out of Gilder's office.

Three minutes later, Hull returned with Lasorlo.

In Moina's eyes, Lasolo's condition seemed to be different from before.

He stood beside Hull with dull eyes, looking nervous and uneasy.

Moina was surprised that Hull could call Lasoro.

In Moina's impression, Lasolo is not an easy-to-talk-to superior.

No, to put it more directly, he is the only one who orders his subordinates around, and it is absolutely impossible for him to obey his subordinates' orders and be available at any time.

Moina turned his gaze towards Hull.

"Did you order Lasorro to come here immediately in my name, or in the name of the senior political official of Gilder?"

Apart from this, Moina could not think of a second explanation.

And if this is true, with Moina's reminder at this moment, Lasolo will definitely take strong measures against this troublesome subordinate.

"You are the kind of person who takes advantage of others' power..."

Without waiting for Hull to speak, Lasoro immediately stood up.

"No! Political Officer Hull did not put pressure on me under the guise of his superior! He called me here in his own name, that's all!"

Lasorro clearly rejected Moyna’s question.

This was even more beyond Moyna's expectations.

He winked at Lasolo a few times, but the other party just stared blankly into space without any reaction.

"Ahem... Really? That's good. I'm really sorry, Administrative Officer Lasolo, for taking time out of your busy schedule to ask you to come here."

"No! No problem at all! I'd love to come!"

Moina frowned. He felt that something was wrong with Lasolo today.

He had never been so obedient before.

Because he had served in the military, he naturally believed that he had a higher status than civilian officials.

This is not surprising. The empire has long pursued a national policy of territorial expansion. Even if they are of the same rank, the status and voice of military officers are still superior to those of civil officials.

This is especially true in border areas.

In addition to being strict with his subordinates, Lasolo often made trouble for his colleagues at the same level. Even though Moina was one level higher than him, he usually had trouble commanding him.

Therefore, Moina had never seen Lasolo so docile, which was almost to the point of blind obedience.

Moina came over, gently pulled Lasolo aside and whispered, "Hey...what's wrong with you? Are you confused? Why are you obeying Helheim's orders?"

Lasolo ignored him and just continued to stare into the air with lifeless eyes.

"Well, now that everyone is here, can we get down to business?"

Only then did Moyna see that Hull was holding a large stack of documents.

So that's what it is. Looking at the gesture, he probably guessed what this guy wanted to talk about.

It's nothing more than some policy proposals that have been rejected in the past, and I plan to submit them through Gilder and myself.

Moina smiled disdainfully - how could I let you do whatever you want and cause trouble for the higher-ups?

There is no need for Minister Goering to take action. Don't even think about getting your policy proposal approved by me!

"I have to tell you that I am very strict in reviewing the policy proposals. If it is a boring proposal, I will reject it on the spot. Considering that it is you who submitted the policy proposal, I don't have high expectations for the content."

No one can stand being criticized.

As long as you want to find loopholes in the plan, you can find enough reasons to reject it whether it is in style, font, typos, or even content.

He used to find faults in everything and he never failed.

"Don't worry, these are not policy proposals... Please take a good look at what they are."

Hull arranged the documents neatly on his desk for everyone to review.

"As you can see, these materials are records of bribery received by Moina's senior political assistants over the years."
