My Life with Narration

Chapter 186: An Unconventional Assessment


In the Hundred Family Surnames, the Wang surname is indeed a big one. Among the people he knows, the Wang and Li surnames are the most common, almost every place he goes.

Faced with his doubts, Wang Jingye was a bit puzzled, while Li Zijun stepped on his foot.

In the car, Su Qing, sitting in the back, asked, "Sister Jun, is Uncle Lin really just inviting me to visit?"

Hearing this, Old Wang, who was sitting in the back with him, couldn't help but laugh, "What, you want to investigate cases? Hahaha, I've heard about you. Recently, several cases in our police station have involved you. I also heard that Old Lin and Old Zhao want to apply for a special recruitment quota with the top management!"

"But don't worry, there's no case for you to investigate today. With us police around, how could we possibly need you? It's just a little tour since you are a young hero known for acting bravely for a just cause!"

Hearing this, Su Qing nodded, but was in complete disbelief. How could he, an ordinary citizen without any official position, possibly get to tour the police station? It's a police station, not a vegetable market that anyone can enter.

Sure enough, the next second he heard a voiceover in his mind

[What seems like an ordinary tour is actually a test for you. The end of the universe is to become a civil servant. This will be a visit that determines the direction of your life.]

Upon hearing this, he knew what was happening. Although he didn't know what form the test would take, it was definitely not a simple sightseeing tour.

"I heard you can predict and calculate things, is it true? Do a reading for me too!" Wang Jingye laughed as he wrapped an arm around Su Qing's shoulder.

Although it was a joke, there's no denying that Su Qing has indeed helped their police station quite a bit, so most of the officers in the East City Public Security Bureau have a good impression of him, especially the detectives who worked on those cases involving him firsthand.

"It's all just guesswork, purely coincidental, purely coincidental!" Su Qing laughed it off. He dared not mention Feng Shui Divination anymore, especially in front of police officers.

"Haha, now you're being humble. By the way, you're Little Li's brother, what do you do for a living?" Wang Jingye instinctively asked.

"I make short videos."

"And your age?"

"22."

"Family members..."

Before he could finish, Li Zijun, who was driving, interrupted, "Team Wang, what are you doing? Are you used to interrogating suspects?"

Hearing this, Wang Jingye quickly coughed twice, "Sorry, I tend to ask people questions when I meet them, don't mind me, Little Su!"

He was already immune to all kinds of occupational hazards, especially in the police profession, where they're quite strong.

"Uncle Wang, what do you do?"

Wang Jingye: →_→

Li Zijun: →_→

Is this a normal question to ask? You're asking a uniformed police officer what they do, what do you think it is?

"Cough, cough, well, I'm just asking casually," Su Qing replied with two dry coughs, helplessly.

Instantly, the car was filled with an atmosphere called awkwardness.

In this atmosphere, the car arrived at the East City Public Security Bureau.

Instead of going through the main entrance, the group used a side door and went directly to an office upstairs.

Knock knock knock

"Master, Su Qing is here!" Li Zijun knocked on the door, and Old Wang dragged him straight into the room.

Inside, Lin Chengcai and Zhao Minghui couldn't help but laugh, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

"Little Su, we meet again!"

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhao!" Su Qing greeted them.

In response, Zhao Minghui laughed twice and invited everyone to sit down.

"Uncle Zhao, you're working now?" Su Qing asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Minghui shook his head, "No, not yet, recently it's been more like a break. Didn't you notice I'm not even in uniform? I just came today to have a look since you're visiting us."

"You look much better, is your cold almost gone?"

Su Qing smiled and nodded. After a few days of rest, his cold was mostly gone, especially today, he obviously felt much better. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to go to work tomorrow.

"Yes, after taking medicine and getting IV fluids, I'm better. By the way, Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhao, I heard you two called me over for a visit. Is there anything to see at our police station? Why don't I treat you all to a meal instead? I've made a little money recently," Su Qing suggested with a playful look in his eyes.

Actually, ever since he found out about special recruitment opportunities, he had looked up some information online, but it was all quite superficial, and he had no idea about the specific process. However, if it doesn't involve taking a test, he's willing to give it a try.

After all, he now has a very stable source of income. With Dahuang managing the company, if it really is possible, he wouldn't mind shining a light and bringing some heat, as long as he doesn't have to be on the front lines. Why? He's afraid of dying.

His abilities are more suited to staying behind the scenes and doing some minor actions. Apprehending criminals is not suitable for his small frame.

"Hey, if anyone's treating, it should be us. We can't let you do it. First, we want to thank you, and second..." Lin Chengcai and Zhao Minghui exchanged a knowing glance and laughed, "We do have a small issue we need your help with."

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but think to himself, 'I knew it.'

Just as he was expecting to help interrogate some suspects, Lin Chengcai called out, "Lili, come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Lili, petite yet wearing a full uniform, walked in and waved at him, "Hi, Comrade Su, we meet again."

This left Su Qing a bit puzzled, but he nodded, "Hello!"

Then Lin Chengcai continued, "In the past two years, short videos have become really popular. Our public security departments need to keep up with the times. We want to create our own video account to promote ourselves; it's an assignment from above."

"But the talent in this area within the bureau is limited. We old folks are obviously out of luck, and not many young people know about short videos. That's why we thought of you, hoping you could come and give us some guidance."

Though it was still helping out, it was quite different from what he had expected. Since he was in the short video industry, he naturally knew that various agencies had started joining in too.

Universities, telecom companies, local telecom providers, the police system, traffic police, and local news channels have all set up their own short video accounts. It's a way to increase their influence and to post positive videos for guidance.

With the development of the internet, this force is quite significant, especially for the young people nowadays. Who watches TV anymore?

Some serious official systems have even started engaging with young people to keep up with them actively.

And what young people like the most, undoubtedly, are beautiful women.

Whether it's the admissions booklet of a university, a telecom company, or the public security system, they'll send out their most beautiful ladies to make an impression.

Every place has its fair share of beauties. Schools have campus queens; police bureaus have police beauties. Whenever officials come up with something fun, netizens get excited.

"Lili is in charge of this part now. I originally wanted to transfer Xiao Li over too since her image is great, but she wasn't willing. I figured you two are like siblings, so communication should be easy," Lin Chengcai said with a smile.

Everything has to start step by step. Su Qing is just an ordinary citizen, and getting into the public security system without taking exams is definitely tough. Even with special appointments, it's not easy.

And this is the first step for Lin Chengcai and the others.

"I see, no...no problem, but I'm just an amateur, Uncle Lin. Don't get your hopes too high. My short videos mainly feature the dog. As for me, no one knows what I look like!" Su Qing said honestly.

In his previous videos, it was always Da Huang in the frame, and you could only hear his voice, so he wasn't very confident. As for the special appointment, Lin Chengcai never mentioned it, and he couldn't bear to ask.

"No worries, I have faith in you, kid. Lili, share your thoughts with Su," Zhao Minghui said.

Hearing this, Zhu Lili looked at everyone a bit sheepishly, then said to him, "Here's the thing, I want to film a daily activity of our colleagues handling cases downstairs. There's a lot of bizarre stuff happening there. Would you like to take a look?"

He's an amateur, not a professional, so how could he refuse? He nodded quickly, "Sure, let's give it a try and see how it turns out."

He couldn't claim much, but he did have some insight into whether a video might have a viral point.

"Let's head over then. Perfect timing, let's go check it out too!" Lin Chengcai and Zhao Minghui got up, inviting everyone to join them.

Before long, they arrived on the first floor, where officers handle their tasks.

Under Zhu Lili's guidance, they soon were near the interrogation room, where a hubbub of noise could be heard.

Unlike the detention center or interrogation rooms where criminal suspects are held, this place seemed more like a mediation site.

Every day, people in the city call the police hotline, and different people come to the bureau mostly with trivial matters and neighborhood disputes.

They couldn't send everyone to the detention center. For minor incidents, they would generally conduct inquiries here.

"Officer, it was him, he groped me and took pictures secretly. I suspect he filmed under my skirt. Check his phone. You must look at his phone!"

At that moment, a girl wearing a miniskirt shouted, her face full of grievance, while beside her was a young man who appeared a bit introverted, even somewhat sleazy.

His appearance seemed unkempt, with hair in strands. Facing the girl's accusation, the man hurriedly said, "I didn't do it. There were so many people on the subway. Who touched her? My phone definitely doesn't have her pictures."

"Then show me!" the girl shouted.

"Why should I show you my phone? Look at you, do you think I would touch someone like you?" the man, driven to exasperation, retorted.

The girl's figure and appearance were just average, not unattractive, especially after makeup. Amidst a crowd, she was a small beauty. Her face reddened, clearly furious.

After a few exchanges, Su Qing could roughly guess the story – it was clearly a subway groping incident.

"What do you think, Su?" At that moment, Lin Chengcai approached, patting Su Qing's shoulder with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback, "I'd definitely stand..."

But before he could finish speaking, a voiceover sounded in his mind.

[Exam start. The girl is lying. She didn't actually see who touched her. Believing herself to be very attractive, she guessed it must be this sleazy-looking man, hence her persistence. As for the filming, it's purely her imagination, meant to get the police's attention and severe punishment for the pervert.]

"Look... at her, just a basic girl!"
