"I'm exhausted." A personnel department official from the Tang Country entered the room, grabbed the teacup on his desk, drank the overnight tea in one gulp, and sighed, "I've walked so much my shoes are nearly worn out!"
"What happened?" His colleague, buried under a mountain of forms and documents, lifted his head and asked knowingly with a smile.
Although he wasn't sent out on assignment, the workload in the office was still overwhelming. He had been working overtime for two consecutive days without going home, his mind constantly muddled; even during meals, his head was filled with names and photos.
The personnel department recently had to select over 2,000 people daily, appoint more than 700 officials and clerks, and ensure that these personnel's identification work resumes and files were sent to the appropriate locations.
