Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Inside Information
Inside the filing room.
Li Bing glanced at Chen Ming who was being ‘suppressed’ by Lin Chuan and laughed heartily, “Comrade Lin Chuan, thank you for being willing to contribute to Anling’s anti-gambling efforts.”
“It’s my duty to do so.”
Lin Chuan said with full righteousness, “By the way, may I make a small request?”
“Please, go ahead.”
Public Security Captain Li Bing asked.
“I hope that in the anti-gambling publicity, in addition to introducing my identity as an anti-gambling campaigner, my identity as a writer could also be introduced, along with a link to my novel ‘Swindler.’ This should have an even better promotional effect,” Lin Chuan explained.
“Of course!”
Li Bing nodded with a smile, “Your novel can serve as a benchmark for exposing cheating techniques, allowing more people to see it is also a form of anti-gambling!”
“Right, that’s what I also think!” Lin Chuan nodded seriously, adding his voice.
[Current work: ‘Swindler’.]
[Status: Launched.]
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 104/1000.]
The Popularity Value of ‘Swindler’ was too low right now; he had to figure out ways to attract readers himself.
This joint anti-gambling publicity with Anling Police Station’s video platform was the perfect opportunity.
If the publicity effect was good, the Average Subscription should see a significant increase.
Oh right, there was also a 3000 yuan labor subsidy.
Two birds with one stone!
Immediately, Lin Chuan quickly wrote down a series of numbers on the back of a playing card and handed it to Li Bing.
“What is this?”
Li Bing asked, puzzled as he looked at the ‘Morse code’.
Lin Chuan smiled, “That’s my payment account. When the time comes, the labor subsidy can be transferred directly into my account.”
Li Bing and Shen Qianqian smiled at each other, “No problem!”
The anti-gambling publicity matters were settled quickly, scheduled for the night after next.
The filing went smoothly too.
When Lin Chuan stepped out of the police station, it was already nearing dusk.
In the western sky, the fish-scale-like clouds reflected streaks of golden light, adding a touch of dreamy color.
Birds flew back to their nests, their sporadic chirping mixed with the sound of traffic on the roads, becoming peaceful in the remaining glow of the sunset.
At the entrance of the police station.
Lin Chuan took a deep breath.
At that moment, a figure came sprinting over.
It was Old Wang.
The moment Old Wang saw Lin Chuan come out, he rushed over and gave Lin Chuan a big hug, “Old Lin, you finally came out, if you hadn’t come out, I would have… ”
“You would have what?”
Lin Chuan asked with a smile.
Old Wang chuckled and whispered into Lin Chuan’s ear, “I would have made it with Qiqi.”
Lin Chuan was taken aback, “???”
Your brother is almost turned into a criminal suspect, and you’re romancing outside?
Old Wang chuckled and said, “Thanks to Qiqi’s friend arresting you and making you squat in the station, I had plenty of time and space alone with Qiqi, you know what I mean.”
“You forget your friends at the sight of beauty.”
Lin Chuan turned to walk away.
Old Wang grinned and said, “Old Lin, just kidding, Officer Shen already sent a message briefly explaining your situation to Qiqi while you were filing, so we didn’t need to worry. She also said she would treat us to a meal.”
“You’ve known her for half a day, and you’re already on a first-name basis,” Lin Chuan remarked with amazement.
Old Wang grinned, “You can tell you’ve never been in love; Qiqi is also in the same profession, we hit it off quite well, it was hate at first sight that we didn’t meet sooner.”
“Who hasn’t been in love?” Lin Chuan retorted, “Have I had fewer romances?”
“How many have you had?”
