At the sight of the fireball flying towards her, Wei Meiyu's eyes widened at once. With a hint of panic on her face, she shouted, "Elder Sister Qin, don't..."
Of course, Xia Pingan would not let the fireball hit his head.
Just as the fireball flew to Xia Pingan's side and was about to hit his head, Xia Pingan turned his head. He didn't seem to have done anything, but a small water shield appeared in the air.
When the fireball hit the water shield, the water shield changed from a shield shape to a ball shape and wrapped around the fireball. There was no explosion, no fluctuation. There was only a soft "chi" sound in the air, like a red-hot needle falling into water. The fireball and the water ball disappeared at the same time. Everything disappeared into nothingness. The clouds were calm and the wind was gentle, as if nothing had happened.
The woman was greatly shocked. Of course, she knew that her fireball would not kill anyone. However, it was her first time to see a water summoning skill that could extinguish the fireball without causing an explosion. Additionally, the flame and water vapor of the fireball didn't disperse at all. Additionally, the water shield even changed its shape from a shield to a sphere. It was her first time to see such a perfect scene without any smoke or fire.
'Master, he's definitely a master! ' A thought flashed across the woman's mind. However, didn't Wei Meiyu say that the scumbag who had been pestering her had just become a summoner? Even if he had mastered some water summoning skills, he couldn't control them so precisely and subtly.
Xia Pingan looked at the woman with long red hair and a hot figure in a leather windbreaker. Although her lips were a bit thick, she looked sexier and carried an exotic charm. He then said calmly, "Miss, if you cast the fireball indiscriminately on a person, you might kill him..."
"Elder Sister Qin, he, he's my friend, not that man..." Wei Meiyu patted her chest nervously and hurriedly explained.
Being stared at by Xia Pingan, the red-haired woman also felt a bit guilty. However, she pretended to be indifferent as she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Did I make a mistake? Ah, I'm sorry. As a man, you're not that stingy, right? By the way, your water summoning skill is pretty good. Where did you learn it from?"
"I learned it by myself!" Xia Pingan smiled faintly as he threw this trivial matter to the back of his mind.
That red-haired woman walked over. After taking a look at Xia Pingan and Wei Meiyu, she revealed an "I know" expression as she directly told Xia Pingan, "The Supervision Office is an important place where the Judgement Army handles cases. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. How dare you come here to look for Meiyu? Don't do it again. Hurry up and leave. Old Luo, how dare he let you in? I didn't expect that he had the potential to be a matchmaker at his age..."
Blushing, Wei Meiyu secretly glanced at Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan helplessly looked at the red-haired "oolong woman". Without saying anything, he just took out his inspector's token and said, "I think you've misunderstood. I'm here to take up my post. The concierge here is very dutiful. What's your name..."
"Mr.... Mr. Inspector..." The red-haired woman was dumbfounded at the sight of the token that Xia Pingan took out. She hurriedly stood at attention and broke out in a cold sweat.
Wei Meiyu also widened her eyes. She had never expected that Xia Pingan had such a high status. When Xia Pingan saved her last time, she thought that Xia Pingan was just an ordinary person. Inspector, oh my God...
Wei Meiyu covered her mouth with her hand in surprise.
"Mr. Inspector, my name is... Hua Ziqin..." No matter how carefree she was, the red-haired woman couldn't wait to find a hole to hide in. She had just met the Mr. Inspector, and she had already made two blunders in just a moment. First, she threw a fireball at the Mr. Inspector's head, and then misunderstood that the Mr. Inspector was looking for Wei Meiyu.
Oh no, this Mr. Inspector won't make things difficult for me in the future, right? Also, Meiyu is really too much. Why didn't she say that she knew such a big shot before?
The red-haired woman was extremely nervous.
"Meiyu, take me to the Mr. Inspector's office. Hua Ziqin, right? Call the people in the Inspection Department who are still here. Let's get to know each other..."
...
A few minutes later, Xia Pingan saw the other people from the East Port Inspection Department of the Judgment Army in the Mr. Inspector's office.
Including Wei Meiyu and Hua Ziqin, there were a total of 42 people in the Inspection Department. Among these 42 people, there were only 18 non-summoners like Wei Meiyu. The other 24 people were all summoners of the Judgment Army.
The 42 people, men and women of all shapes and sizes, all looked at Xia Pingan with different gazes. One or two of their gazes were even somewhat presumptuous and unconvinced because Xia Pingan was really too young.
Xia Pingan took out his Mr. Inspector's token and showed it to everyone in public. Only then did those presumptuous gazes slightly restrain.
"My name is Xia Pingan, the new Mr. Inspector of the East Port Inspection Department of the Judgment Army. It's my first time here, so I look forward to your guidance in the future!" Xia Pingan smiled and swept his gaze across everyone's faces.
"You're too kind, sir. You're young and promising. Please guide us in the future. I believe that under your leadership, the East Port Inspection Department will definitely become better and better and prosper day by day!" A bald fat man in his forties jumped out of the crowd with a smile and flattered Xia Pingan with a flattering look.
When this guy was flattering, Xia Pingan found that everyone in the room looked normal. No one showed any disdain, and they were not surprised at all. What did this mean? This meant that this guy who was flattering him just now had a glib style, and everyone was used to it.
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves. What's your name? What's your specific position? What's your responsibility? Hmm, Meiyu, let's start with you. The last time I saw you, you were in the library. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, you'd already come to the Inspection Department..." Xia Pingan pointed at Wei Meiyu, who was standing on the far left.
Wei Meiyu stepped forward shyly and said in a low voice, "My name is Wei Meiyu. I've just been admitted to the Donggang Supervision Office. My job here is to manage documents and do some secretarial and administrative work …"
After introducing herself, Wei Meiyu stepped back. Xia Pingan nodded as his eyes fell on a fat middle-aged woman with curly hair in a loose floral skirt beside Wei Meiyu. This middle-aged woman was not a summoner.
"My name is Lu Ping. I'm the accountant of the East Port Inspection Department. I'm responsible for the accounts and fund management of the Inspection Department..."
Beside Lu Ping was a gentle girl in her twenties. After Lu Ping introduced herself, that girl stepped forward and said, "My name is Zhang Xiaoqi. I'm the cashier of the Inspection Department. I'm responsible for connecting the bank and the material management of No.2 warehouse..."
Just like that, everyone introduced themselves one by one in front of Xia Pingan.
Within the Inspection Department, there were 18 non-summoners, including Wei Meiyu, who were in charge of administration, finance, internal affairs, boiler and property management, warehouse management, chefs, and other logistical work. There were both men and women, and their ages ranged from 20 to 60 years old.
Apart from these people, the other 24 people were all action team members of the Inspection Department. Their strength was basically between the One-Sun realm and the Two-Sun realm.
There were a total of 30 action team members in the Inspection Department. They were divided into six small teams of five people each. Five people from Team No.2 had gone out to patrol this morning and had yet to return. There was also a member of Team No.1 who was injured in the previous operation and was being treated in the hospital. He probably would not return for a few months. The others were all here.
Hua Ziqin, who had thrown the fireball at Xia Pingan's head earlier, was the captain of Team No.3.
The bald fatty who had sucked up to Xia Pingan was the captain of Team No.6. His name was Situ Hua. Situ Hua had worked in the Inspection Department for almost 20 years and was a standard old fox.
Those who had become captains were all Two-Sun realm Summoners.
The captain of Team No.1 was called Fan Gang. He was a man in a black robe who was silent and had a gloomy temperament like Professor Snape.
The captain of Team No.4 was called Fang Nu. He was well-built and had thick eyebrows and thin eyes. He looked like a gold medal fighter in the underworld. His temperament was somewhat similar to Tu Polu's. At first glance, one could tell that he was the kind of man who liked to use violence to solve problems. It was also this guy who looked at Xia Pingan with a somewhat unbridled and unbridled gaze.
The captain of Team No.5 was called Dongmen Yong. He looked like he was in his twenties and looked gentle. He wore a pair of tortoiseshell glasses that made him look like an old man. He had a harmless smile on his face at all times and looked like a rookie intern. However, Xia Pingan would not be fooled by this person because anyone who could become a captain in the Inspection Department was definitely not an ordinary person.
The Summoners who could join the Judgment Army had gone through a strict selection process. All of them were outstanding and elite Summoners. There were no fools among them. Xia Pingan, who had personally participated in the selection process of the Judgment Army, had a deep understanding of this.
"From today onwards, Meiyu will be my secretary. Your office will be moved to the room outside my office. Situ Hua will stay. The rest of you may leave …" Xia Pingan said to everyone.
A few people in the crowd glanced at Wei Meiyu. Wei Meiyu's face was burning as she lowered her head and looked at her toes.
Most of them were expressionless, but Situ Hua was a little surprised. He did not know why Xia Pingan wanted him to stay.
In the blink of an eye, only Xia Pingan and the bald fatty, Situ Hua, were left in the huge office.
"Have a seat!" Xia Pingan pointed at the chair in front of the desk and gestured for Situ Hua to sit.
Situ Hua was unusually cautious. He only sat down with half of his buttocks leaning against the chair with a smile on his face. "Sir, may I know why you've asked me to stay?"
Xia Pingan personally poured two cups of tea and placed one cup in front of Situ Hua. Situ Hua was so flattered that he quickly stood up but was pressed down by Xia Pingan's shoulder. "You've been in the Inspection Department for a long time, so you must be very familiar with the situation in the Inspection Department and the East District. I asked you to stay because I want to ask you about the real situation in the Inspection Department and the East District!"
Situ Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Xia Pingan said. His expression relaxed as he quickly said, "Sir, what do you want to know? I'll definitely tell you everything I know!"
"I just want to ask how the inspector earns money?" Xia Pingan asked directly.
"Cough …" Situ Hua, who had just taken a sip of water, choked and coughed when he heard Xia Pingan's question.
