Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

After struggling to write a disgusting application letter, the old and frail owl finally had a rest. Luo Cheng found some food in the house and fed it to the old owl.

The promotion and salary increase system provided Luo Cheng with an orphan status. Yes, his parents in this world were both Muggles. They died one after another due to illness, and he had no other immediate relatives. According to his parents’ will, they

The rent of this small apartment in London was used as remuneration to pay for Luo Cheng's stay at the orphanage. This way Luo Cheng did not have to worry about being abused by his mother-in-law, nor did he have to pretend to be a good boy waiting to be adopted by an unknown family.

Cheng had lived in an orphanage before attending Hogwarts, and it was not until he officially enrolled that he moved into the small apartment his parents bought in London.

Because he has no family, Luo Cheng has been living in Hogwarts for the past five years, and will only return here during the summer vacation. Because of Luo Cheng's orphan status, he has been living on school subsidies, so he now has only

15 silver Sickles and a handful of Copper Nuts.

Luo Cheng stuffed the cover letter into the envelope and tied it to the owl's right leg, and then stuffed two copper Knuts into the small belt on its left leg - the transcript was paid on collect, so you had to pay one Knut. Now

I have to send another letter to the Ministry of Magic, and I have to pay another Knut.

"Hey man! Help me deliver this letter to the Muggle Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic. Thank you for your hard work!"

The old owl hooted weakly, which meant it agreed, then flapped its wings with difficulty and flew away unsteadily.

In the next few days, all Luo Cheng could do was wait and work.

Due to the economic depression, Luo Cheng could not rent out this small apartment when he was studying at Hogwarts. Therefore, in order to support himself, Luo Cheng had to find odd jobs such as running errands in London.

Finally, five days later in the early morning, when the hungry Luo Cheng got up to prepare for a new day of working life, there was a knock on the apartment door.

Luo Cheng opened the door and found that the person who came was a tall, bald, dark-skinned wizard with a golden earring on his left ear.

"Hello, I think you are Luo Cheng."

The wizard has a deep, slow voice that seems to have the power to calm people down.

"My name is Kingsley Shacklebolt, from the Auror Office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Ministry of Magic. The Head of Muggle Liaison Office told me that she needed to interview a new Muggle Liaison Officer, but this Muggle

The liaison officer is still young and has never been to the Ministry of Magic. So I hope I can take him along."

Luo Cheng pretended to be a flattered big boy. He seemed so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Oh! My God, you are an Auror! To be honest, my dream when I was a child was to become an Auror, but judging from my O.W.LS results, this dream is definitely over."

"Son, there is no distinction between high and low in the work of the Ministry of Magic, and the work of the Muggle Liaison Office is equally important. If you don't mind, we can set off now."

Kingsley Shacklebolt was a master at dealing with people, and he could speak impeccably. Luo Cheng did his best, and he directly stated that he would be ready to go immediately.

When the two of them arrived outside the door, it was still bright and early morning in London was always a bit chilly.

"You don't usually walk to work, Mr. Shacklebolt."

Luo Cheng asked as the two walked around the square.

"I usually apparate." Kingsley Shacklebolt said, "But at your age, you can't do this, and I also recently took on a special foreign service job, which also requires non-magical methods.

way to get to work.”

Kingsley Shacklebolt has a very strict tone, but to Luo Cheng, who is familiar with the plot, the kind of foreign service work that requires non-magical means to get to work is naturally no secret. Kingsley Shacklebolt is in the Ministry of Magic

During the Great War, after the news of Voldemort's resurrection was completely exposed, he once lurked in the office of the trusted Muggle Prime Minister to work as a secretary, and his work efficiency was extremely high, as good as two people.

Kingsley Shacklebolt's ability to have such proficient working skills certainly did not rely solely on magic. Luo Cheng believed that elite Aurors like Kingsley Shacklebolt had probably worked for many Muggle prime ministers.

There is no one on the dilapidated streets now. The economic depression has made it look very deserted. But when Luo Cheng and Kingsley Shacklebolt walked into the shabby and dilapidated subway station, it was already crowded with migrant workers who went to work in the morning.

, it’s not easy to work part-time!

Kingsley Shacklebolt bought a subway ticket from a sleepy-eyed steward, and the subway drove them towards central London. They got off the train at a station in central London and were squeezed by the crowd.

Walking forward, we finally came to a wide street.

"Follow me, London is not peaceful right now."

The two of them turned into a fork in the road and came to a desolate side street. There were only a few shabby-looking offices and a dirty tavern here.

"Here we are."

Kingsley Shacklebolt pointed to a dilapidated red telephone booth with several panes of glass missing and a painted-on wall behind it.

"You go in first."

Luo Cheng walked in, and Kingsley Shacklebolt also squeezed in, closing the door with his backhand. The tall Kingsley Shacklebolt squeezed Luo Cheng so hard that he was pressed against the phone.

This is really a man on top of a man!

Kingsley Shacklebolt picked up the phone across Luo Cheng and looked at the dial.

"6,2,4,4,2..."

Luo Cheng recorded the string of numbers psychologically.

A woman's cold voice sounded around them.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and your business.

"I am Kingsley Shacklebolt, from the Auror Office of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. I brought Luo Cheng here this time. Bertha Jorkins, Director of the Muggle Liaison Office, asked him to come for an interview."

Bertha Jorkins? Luo Cheng remembered this woman. Because she was unsophisticated and forgetful, it was said that she was driven from one department to another, and was finally brought to Voldemort by Wormtail and tortured to death. It seems that she is living a good life now.

He is also the head of the Muggle Liaison Office.

"Thank you." The woman said in a cold voice, "Guest, please pick up the badge and pin it on the front of your clothes."

A square silver badge slipped out of the phone's coin slot, and it read: Luo Cheng, interview. He pinned the badge on his chest and clothes, and the woman's voice rang again.

"Visitors of the Ministry of Magic, you need to go to the security checkpoint for inspection and register your wand. The security checkpoint is located at the end of the main hall."

The ground of the phone booth suddenly trembled, and they slowly sank into the ground. From Luo Cheng's perspective, the sidewalk outside the glass of the phone booth rose higher and higher, and finally there was darkness above their heads, except for the monotonous and harsh friction of the phone booth as it descended.

Voice.

"I often suggest that they improve the environment of the magic elevator. At least they should add some lights inside."

Kingsley Shacklebolt is an all-rounder, so it’s no wonder that he became so prosperous later on and even took over as the Minister of Magic.
