An oval-shaped large conference room.
On the podium, Xide, the deputy minister of the operations department, stood at a lectern and spoke eloquently, "Today is a very special day. In the third Blood Moon cycle, the NW operations department has welcomed our first B sequence promoted staff member..."
Brian felt bored backstage.
Behind the screen backstage, a magical thing similar to one-way glass, one could see directly through the wall the various chiefs sitting in the conference room, along with a large number of unfamiliar faces that Brian hadn't seen before.
These unfamiliar faces all looked older, the youngest of them probably over thirty, relaxed in demeanor, exuding an air of a worldly-wise.
The group included both men and women, although women only constituted about one-seventh of the population.
As one of them, Susan stood out with her relaxed attire of denim and T-shirt, her impressive figure and delicate face were eye-catching, yet only a short man sat next to her.
