Chapter 66: Instantly Unemployed
The hand holding the page trembled slightly.
It was approaching noon. Sitting on a chair in the living room outside the bedroom, Ronald looked at the paper in front of him with dull eyes.
He lost his job.
There is no other ambiguity, it is literally unemployment.
The page Ronald was holding in his hand at this moment had neat words typed out by a typewriter.

"."
"Isn't this too simple?"
Although he knew that there must be a follow-up investigation on the train station incident, he never expected the investigation bureau's People play so hard!
The job that he got through Arida's relationship was just gone?
Although the notice said that he was to join the Bureau of Investigation, this thing was actually a resignation statement!
Consultant position.
Obviously, he was asked to help investigate the matter at the train station.
It doesn’t matter whether he will be picked out.
As long as the investigation bureau gives up the investigation or seals the incident files, I, as a consultant, will not immediately lose my job.
Is there something wrong within the Bureau?
Or is it the 'locals' showing off their power to the 'outsiders'?
Thinking of this, Ronald touched his pocket.
The first month's salary I earned from the train station is in it.
The cost of housing in this era is not outrageous. Taking into account some additional consumption items, I can live in a boarding house for a full six months.
"."
"Thinking about it this way, it seems that I am quite rich too?"
No, no!
Is this the time to think about food and accommodation?
Pa pa -
After shaking his head vigorously, Ronald reached out and patted his cheek, then stood up and opened the window.
The cold winter wind poured into the house from the window and stung her face.
The depressed mood was instantly swept away.
A clear mind told Ronald that things shouldn't be that bad.
If the people in the Investigation Bureau were completely malicious towards me, then what I was waiting for this morning would not be a transfer notice, but several 'professionals' wearing coats who would directly block the door.
All he had to do was to leave as soon as possible.
The total time from the end of the inquiry yesterday to the envelope being stuffed into the mailbox this morning was less than 20 hours.
Use the working process of this society as a reference.
My transfer notice
should have been a decision made on the spur of the moment by a middle-level and senior-level staff member of the Investigation Bureau who obtained the investigation records between yesterday afternoon and evening.
After some loose scrutiny, the notice was delivered to the mailbox this morning.
There is another point that confirms this matter.
That's a full week set aside for coverage.
On the one hand, this period of time is to give Ronald enough room to prepare, but at the same time, it may also be to give himself enough buffer.
If things change, this person from the Investigation Bureau can make adjustments.
From this, it became necessary to set out as soon as possible.
Until the decision-maker has another 'inspiration' and comes up with something new, or the Bureau does more research on him.
I must complete the report as soon as possible and become the "own member" of the Investigation Bureau.
This is a great option to minimize the hassle!
Set off immediately -
thinking of this, Ronald opened the drawer under his desk in the living room.
He took out a wooden sign that was completely black and had patterns on the surface and stuffed it into his arms. He simply pushed the door open and went out.
Hearing the movement on the second floor, the landlady who was about to cook asked loudly in the kitchen:
"Mr. Ronald, are you going out?"
"Lunch time is almost here."
Ronald kept walking, while Looking down, he replied:
"I won't come back until tonight, just leave me something in the house."
The landlady then said:
"I will prepare dinner for you."
Click -
closed the apartment door, Ronald stood On a residential street.
He did not go to No. 21 Long Beach Street immediately, but followed his daily route to work and came to the tailor shop less than a kilometer away.
Pulling the doorbell's string, he heard the 'ding' ringing in the house, and then he pushed the door in and said,
"Is Mr. Ralph there?"
"It's Ronald."
In less than two or three seconds, A middle-aged man with fabric being cut hanging on his arm and a tape measure in his hand walked out from behind the counter.
Looking at Ronald without a coat, he asked in surprise:
"It's such a cold day, why don't you wear more clothes?"
"The coat I bought from you last time was stained yesterday." Ronald smiled kindly, and then explained, "It turns out that I have something to do today, and I thought you were not far away. Didn't I just stop by and buy another one?" "That's right.
"
Ralph He nodded to express understanding and then asked:
"Then what kind of clothes are you going to buy this time?"
Ronald replied:
"Just the same style as last time, preferably darker."
"Wait a moment. "
Hearing Ronald's needs, Ralph immediately turned back to the back of the store.
Ronald, who was already familiar with the situation, walked directly to the dressing mirror and waited for the other party.
In less than a minute, Ralph arrived at the front desk of the store.
The fabric and tape measure in hand were replaced by a dark brown coat this time.
"Let's try it."
"Okay."
Taking the coat and putting it on, Ronald looked in the mirror.
Don't tell me, what a coincidence.
Based on the clothes shopping experience last time, Ralph picked out the clothes for Ronald in just the right size.
Even the color of this dress is almost the same as what those in the Investigation Bureau wear.
All he needs is a wide-brimmed hat, and he can just pretend to be an investigator!
So, Ronald nodded with satisfaction:
"As for the price."
"Same as last time." Ralph also looked at Ronald in the mirror and chatted casually, "This style of clothes is nothing. It's in short supply, so let's take it at a discounted price."
"Thank you."
Ronald nodded, took out 6 Depp from his pocket and handed it over.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Have a good journey."
After walking out of Tailor's Talisman, Ronald checked that all the buttons on his coat were fastened, and then stretched out his hand to stop a taxi.
"Take me to No. 21 Long Beach Street. If you hurry up, I'll give you 1 Depp more."
"Understood, sir."
