Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Don’t Let Him Commit a Crime!
“Comrade Lin, sure, sure,”
Hu Daqiang’s square face, his thick eyebrows raised, revealed a smile, “If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up, and I will do my utmost to satisfy you!”
Lin Chuan’s eyes lit up, showing a look of anticipation, “Really?”
“Of course!”
Hu Daqiang patted his chest.
“Captain Hu, could you help promote my novel?” Lin Chuan asked after a moment of thought.
Lin Chuan had a clear goal in mind.
What he needed to focus on now was to increase the Average Subscription of “This Assassin Is Too Professional” and reach 3,000 Popularity Value.
It would not only make money but also allow him to experience a new professional life and earn new skills.
As the saying goes, the more skills you have, the more paths you can take.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
At present, the Popularity Value (Average Subscription) of “This Assassin Is Too Professional” was: 1809/3000.
Just 1181 more to go, time to step it up!
“No problem!”
Hu Daqiang agreed without a second thought, then took out his phone immediately, “I’ll start promoting it right away, starting with the Criminal Police Brigade. When the reporters come for the interview later, I’ll help you promote it as well.”
In the Criminal Police Brigade’s communication group, Hu Daqiang’s sent out the novel link was quickly followed by a lengthy advertisement endorsement.
Shen Qianqian, standing to one side, glanced at the message on her phone and muttered, “Captain Hu, Director Zhang is also in the group.”
Hu Daqiang’s face turned pale.
Oh no!
He had forgotten that Director Zhang didn’t allow advertisements in the group.
However, taking a look at Lin Chuan, Hu Daqiang quickly regained his composure, quite dominantly, “Even if Director Zhang sees it, he’ll have to give Comrade Lin a full subscription.”
Having cracked the case, confidence was high!
Shen Qianqian thought back to the scene of Hu Daqiang pleading to Director Zhang Biao that morning, she pursed her lips, struggling to hold back her laughter, and giggled secretly.
Lin Chuan, unaware of the true situation, nodded his head.
The captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade sure had guts!
Walking out of the office.
Shen Qianqian, in her police uniform, with a smile on her face, walked on her way off work, her high ponytail bobbing with her movements, like gentle breezes supporting new willows, swaying with grace, “Lin Chuan, thanks to you, otherwise I would have had to work overtime tonight.”
Lin Chuan smiled, “If you want to express your gratitude, why not consider giving another full subscription?”
“I only have one account,” Shen Qianqian said, her lips slightly pursed, “but I could invite you for a meal; we can also call Qiqi and Wang Zikai along.”
Lin Chuan touched his belly and wasn’t overly courteous, “Alright then.”
“You seem quite troubled?”
Shen Qianqian tilted her head to look at Lin Chuan, her lively and sparkling eyes blinking, like the vibrant spring breeze and bright warm sun that touched his heart and settled within it.
Lin Chuan quickly shook his head, “It’s not that big a deal.”
…
Elsewhere.
Not long after Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian had left,
Hu Daqiang received a call from Director Zhang Biao.
“Director Zhang, we cracked the case!”
The first thing that Hu Daqiang said was to bring good news!
“I know, you’ve cracked the case, your Criminal Investigation Brigade has done a great job, with major contributions, I’ve noted that,” came Zhang Biao’s deep voice from the other end of the phone, “but don’t get complacent, there are still two cases unsolved, and the longer it takes, the harder they’ll be to crack.”
“Rest assured, Director Zhang, we guarantee to crack the case!” Hu Daqiang said with a beaming smile.
“Additionally, we still need to maintain a clean communication environment in the group chat. The novel promotion you just did, don’t let it happen again.”
Director Zhang Biao casually reminded him.
Hu Daqiang immediately responded, “Director Zhang, what you said is correct, for any other novel I wouldn’t even glance at it, but this one is different!”
“What’s different about it?” Zhang Biao asked back.
Hu Daqiang smiled, “Director Zhang, we were able to crack the case involving Hengli Company in such a short time mainly because of this novel!”
“Nonsense!”
Zhang Biao, who had a background in criminal investigation, scowled upon hearing this, “A mere novel can solve a case? Hu Daqiang, you might fool the new recruits, but not me.”
Hu Daqiang quickly explained, “You’re a seasoned detective, so the novel itself indeed cannot solve the case, but the author of this novel is somewhat extraordinary.”
