Chapter Ninety-Five: The Old Rogue of M City

Gu Weimin said, “Come on, let me introduce our staff and the people from the sister department.”

Gu Weimin said, “Kevin Zhou, head of the investigation team. The star team leader of our bureau. Ambassador for no smoking, ambassador for no drinking. Five second-class merits, three first-class merits.”

Director Wang went, “Oh? Star team leader. I’ve long heard of you.”

Kevin Zhou hurriedly extended his hand and shook his, saying excitedly, “It’s my honor.”

That left Director Wang thoroughly bewildered. He turned to Gu Weimin and asked, “What, what does that mean?”

Gu Weimin said, “It’s not important. None of it is important.”

At that moment, Kevin Zhou immediately took out his phone and leaned in close to Director Wang.

“Come on, Director, look over here.”

Director Wang flashed a frightening grin. “Oh, haha.”

“Again,” Kevin Zhou said.

After the photo was taken, he instantly stepped back into place.

Director Wang clapped his hands. “Good, good, good.”

Gu Weimin said, “This is our new colleague.”

When he introduced the handsome young man standing between them, Director Wang did not even look at him. He went straight over to Wang Zixuan.

With both hands, Director Wang took Wang Zixuan’s hand and shook it warmly. “Xuanxuan, hahaha, you’ve gotten thinner again. Your eldest sister specifically reminded me.”

Wang Zixuan quickly pulled his hand back and looked at him with visible disgust.

“Hello, Director.”

Director Wang froze for a moment, then smiled and said, “Good, good, good.”

After that, he headed for the next person.

So awkward.

Gu Weimin pulled Director Wang back toward his own department. “Bai Xiaojuan, head of the medical station. She heals the dying and rescues the wounded. A master physician.”

Doctor Bai greeted them with a graceful curtsy.

Director Wang pointed at her. “Eh? I think I saw you during my physical exam.”

Gu Weimin said, “Zhou Ning, director of the records center. Also an old—”

Halfway through, he was silenced by Zhou Ning’s glare.

Zhou Ning said coldly, “Old what? Who’s old? Who do you mean is old?”

Gu Weimin said, “An old good person. You’re a very, very good person. Ha.”

Even Director Wang could not help laughing beside them.

After introducing the more outstanding people in his bureau, Gu Weimin dismissed everyone. He left behind only a few department heads, Wang Zixuan, and Hao Yingjun—one group to go over the work, the other to take the chance to build some rapport. After all, there would be plenty of coordination in the days ahead.

In the conference hall, Duan Peng said, “Zhou Xiaoyu, unable to endure the heat, transformed into a fish and swam in South Lake, where he accidentally bit into a fishing lure and ruined his looks. He still hasn’t gone home. The possum-spirit couple in Bright Light have repeatedly lain in feigned death on major roads to stage scams. After being discovered, they fled and are still at large.”

Director Wang said, “All right. Have any of you heard of the old lecher of M City?”

After speaking, Director Wang looked around. Seeing that no one made a sound and no one even shook their heads, he could not help sighing and shaking his own head.

He stood up and sighed. “The old lecher of M City has repeatedly sneaked into private homes late at night. He targets women living alone, grabbing their legs and molesting them. And every single time, he gets away clean. Just a couple of days ago, he even laid hands on my niece. His name is thunderous even at the General Bureau, and yet none of you have even heard of him.”

By then, he was so angry that he kept slapping the table.

At last, he steadied himself, sat back down, and said, “With the state your bureau is in, your year-end bonus? Hmph. You might as well forget about it. You work in investigations, and you can’t even dig up this much information. How is Wang Zixuan supposed to get anything done? As for promotions, your bureau can forget about having any slots this year.”

That immediately stirred up the people from the investigation center.

No way. They could not lose the promotion slots.
