Chapter 1339: The Useless 48th-Level Position
"Go fishing?" Su Yu was taken aback.
He knew "fishing" referred to a sting operation, but what kind of fish needed him to be the bait? He had already ascended to the Planetary level. The fish he would be baiting must be a big one!
"It's like this..." Luman Gridera drew out his words, slowly explaining, "You just joined the Public Security Department today, but we've been operating for almost two years now.
In those two years, we started off with a lot of bumps and bruises. No one knew how to manage public security, and the department was in chaos. We couldn't even find a competent advisor, so we had to look to the native planets nearby."
At this point, Luman Gridera paused.
Su Yu was full of questions. Why was he bringing this up?
Luman Gridera turned to look at the advisory board and smiled, "In the past, all the advisors came from native planets. Now, half of the board members are local residents of the Hub. It's truly heartening!"
Su Yu couldn't help but ask, "Minister, why are you bringing this up? What does it have to do with me going 'fishing'?"
"Don't rush, let me explain," Luman Gridera glanced at Su Yu and continued, "After two years of adjustment, the Public Security Department's operations have gradually stabilized.
But what about you, Deputy Su Yu? You haven't gone through this adjustment process. Even if you take the position now, it will be hard for you to be effective.
To be a competent deputy, you would need several months to adjust and familiarize yourself with the workflow. We all understand this."
Bella interjected, "And right now, the department is at a critical transition period. By the time you adjust, there might not be many people left in the department."
"Yes," Luman Gridera agreed, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably don't care much about the 'deputy' position. You might even think it's dispensable and don't want to join the department, right?"
Su Yu was hit right on the mark. He thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed. I do think the 'deputy' position is somewhat useless. Whether I join or not doesn't seem to matter."
"Useless?" Hearing Su Yu's words, everyone in the room cast him strange looks. They all stared at him with peculiar expressions.
As officials or advisors in the Public Security Department, they had never heard anyone describe the deputy position as useless.
This was a 48th-level position! In the Hub, it was a position of immense power! Many Planetary-level individuals couldn't even apply for it, and it required strong backing from major forces. How could it be called useless?
Everyone's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Perhaps only someone like Su Yu, with trillions of Psychic Coins and more money than he could spend, had the right to dismiss this position as useless.
Facing the strange looks, Su Yu shrugged, "Everyone has different positions, so naturally, our thoughts differ. To me, it is indeed quite useless."
Luman Gridera's expression didn't change. He calmly said, "I guessed you wouldn't want to join, so I prepared a 'mysterious gift' to entice you.
However, I didn't call you here just for that reason. There are three reasons:
The first reason, of course, is the 'mysterious gift.' The compensation amount of 320 billion for your planet is enormous, and such a large sum should be handed over in person."
320 billion!
Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked again.
They had been curious about the "mysterious gift." They didn't expect it to be 320 billion!
This was an astronomical amount! They hadn't even realized that after Deputy Su Yu had just received 4.2 trillion, he was about to receive another large sum.
"Ah! Truly, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer! 320 billion!" Many people were already envious, their eyes red with jealousy, even Planetary-level individuals like Sanguange were no exception.
Luman Gridera was equally envious, but to maintain his image, he didn't show it.
He continued, "The second reason is to help you activate your position. The department is about to undergo restructuring. If you don't join now, your position might be canceled in the future, and losing a 48th-level position would be a pity."
Luman Gridera didn't mention another point: Su Yu was one of their own. Even if the department was reorganized and Su Yu was transferred to another department, he would still have a 48th-level position, ensuring he wouldn't be demoted too much. He would remain one of their own.
If Su Yu didn't join, and another force took over his deputy position, the loss would be significant.
"As for the third reason," Luman Gridera looked at his secretary, Bella, "Bella, you can explain it."
"Sure, Minister," Bella turned to Su Yu and said seriously, "The third reason is that we received intelligence that someone is planning to move against you."
"Move against me?" Su Yu was taken aback.
"Exactly," Bella nodded, "After all, your 4.2 trillion is about to be credited. Once that happens, plus this 320 billion, your account balance will likely reach 4.5 trillion, right?"
"Actually, more than that." Su Yu checked his wristband and saw his current balance. He had over 700 billion now.
Of that, 320 billion was just transferred by Minister Luman, and the rest was his previous balance.
Zhong Feng, Yun Zhongmu, Cao Chengxiang, and other high-ranking officials from Blue Star were planning to return to farming, so they had transferred almost all their wealth to him, hence the large sum.
"Altogether, it's over 5 trillion," Su Yu said casually.
