[Upcoming]
For some reason, the Distillery's Audit Department had suddenly started enforcing much stricter standards lately. The department head, rumored to be a lazy slacker who did nothing but coast along, had apparently taken something strange, because overnight, he rolled out 108 regulations under the title "Guidelines for Task Report Approval and Expense Applications."
The entire organization was soon up in arms. They said some cadres who had used task expense applications as an excuse to buy handbags and spa treatments, and even one who had secretly purchased an Osprey under the guise of a mission, had flipped their tables on the spot.
But none of this seemed to have anything to do with Scotland, a new sniper who was diligent in his work and conscientious about his marksmanship.
The first time Scotland met Lu Cangyou, he had just finished a mission. Blood stained the corners of his eyes, and the smell of gunpowder clung to him.
The young man had a pair of pure-white eyes. Feeling his way toward the elevator doors as they began to close, he asked in confusion, "Sorry... Is anyone there? Could you press the elevator button for me?"
A fierce gust of wind swept past. Faced with a dagger aimed straight at his eye, the other man didn't even blink.
The blade, glinting coldly, stopped just a centimeter from his eye. The white-eyed young man stared blankly ahead, then awkwardly addressed the empty corner of the elevator. "Hello...? Is anyone there?"
...So he was blind.
After a long silence, the cat-eyed young man, covered in blood and carrying a bass guitar case, withdrew his knife and gave a soft, "Mm."
"...Which floor?"
"The first floor, thank you."
Watching the other's figure disappear into the night, Lu Cangyou looked down at the System notification on his phone.
Tsk, this format is riddled with errors, the content is all the same, and the writing is dull as dishwater... Who wrote this? Send it back for revisions!
And so... half an hour later.
Scotland stepped out of the elevator and headed back to the safehouse. He had just taken out his phone when a brand-new email appeared in his inbox.
[The task report has formatting errors and repetitive content. It has been rejected. Please carefully check the report and correct the formatting. Do not plagiarize.]
Scotland: ?
The next time Scotland saw Lu Cangyou, he already knew the other's codename. He found the white-eyed young man curled up in a hallway corner, filthy from head to toe. After a moment's silence, he helped him up.
"...How did you end up like this?"
The white-eyed young man scratched his head, looking embarrassed. His pure-white, empty eyes were full of chagrin. "I came to Finance to apply for reimbursement, and accidentally fell..."
"What were you hoping to buy?"
"Um... a guide dog or a cane, maybe?"
"Did they approve it?"
The white-eyed young man sighed dejectedly. "No... Finance said my reason for applying wasn't convincing enough and rejected it."
Scotland was silent for a while. "Come on... I'll take you home."
I'll just think of it as doing a good deed... he thought.
People with disabilities deserved special consideration, especially when the person in question had stumbled into such a vast and brutal criminal organization.
As for what happened later...
Lu Cangyou examined the [Marriage Proposal] submitted by his excellent sniper. The format and structure were both impeccable. After pondering it for a moment, he waved his hand and happily signed his name at the end.
Ignoring the organization's model worker, whose face had darkened like a stormy sky, Lu Cangyou leaped into the arms of Officer Morofushi, who had driven over to pick him up after work.
"I want taro balls with red bean rice today~"
Officer Morofushi's ears turned faintly red, but he nodded without changing his expression. "Sure."
