As soon as Zhang Feng said those words, the restaurant fell into silence.

But everyone's gaze toward Zhang Feng changed.

They were even more shocked than when they heard the announcement.

What is this?

What's wrong with Zhang Feng, did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?!

This is a bloody promotion opportunity climbing several ranks at once!

You just started working and got this kind of chance, anyone else would jump up from the floor happily and accept it!

Yet he... refused?!

What the hell is going on?!

And standing in front of Zhang Feng, with the appointment letter still in his hand, Shen Hanshan's gaze also flickered, and his expression turned a bit strange.

He knew how big of an opportunity this was for Zhang Feng, but Zhang Feng still refused?

Thinking of his younger days, he longed for such good fortune to fall on his head!

Why does Zhang Feng not care at all?!

And the secretary behind Shen Hanshan was also shocked and couldn't help but blurt out:

"Zhang Feng, what do you mean, this is..."

Before he could finish, Shen Hanshan turned to look at the secretary.

Seeing Shen Hanshan's gaze, the secretary's mouth opened and closed, lowering his head awkwardly.

Then, Shen Hanshan turned to Zhang Feng and asked:

"Why?"

Honestly, Zhang Feng knew that such a chance was indeed rare.

Anyone in this system wished for such an opportunity.

If it weren't for Zhang Feng being a transmigrant, a Daoist.

He would definitely accept happily.

But currently, Zhang Feng's biggest worry was becoming too famous, making it inconvenient to do anything!

He didn't even want to attend this victory banquet, let alone get promoted in front of so many people!

So, he helplessly said to Shen Hanshan:

"I know, this is recognition from higher-ups for my work."

Zhang Feng could also speak in official tones.

"But... my experience is too shallow, and besides, I don't like doing patrol group work."

"I still prefer being an honest forensic doctor, helping the branch solve cases...."

Hearing Zhang Feng say this, Officer Hu, Officer Ma, Lin Rui, and Hu Huixin all had anxious expressions!

Even feeling an urge of frustration with him!

Why are you playing the humble pie card now!

What future does a mere forensic doctor have!

Your abilities can shine much brighter at the top!

But, they didn't understand Zhang Feng!

Shen Hanshan looked at Zhang Feng for a full three seconds, then burst into hearty laughter:

"Hahaha, Zhang Feng, I really didn't mistake you, you are truly indifferent to fame and fortune!"

How the hell does this connect to being indifferent to fame and fortune?

It seemed like Shen Hanshan was doing it on purpose.

After laughing, Shen Hanshan even turned to the people in white shirts at the same table and said:

"We need comrades like this in our system!"

No way!

Zhang Feng was exasperated!

Bro, what's your intention!

I'm trying all I can to dodge attention, and you're forcing me into the spotlight!

The group in white shirts heard this from Shen Hanshan, awkwardly flashed smiles, and nodded in agreement. How genuine the smiles were, no one knew.

Afterward, Shen Hanshan looked back at Zhang Feng and said:

"Don't worry, this appointment won't affect your forensic work at all."

"Generally, the patrol group won't assign you tasks, just continue your duties at your original unit."

"Unless something special happens, I will personally call you."

"Do you understand?"

Shen Hanshan emphasized his last sentence, "Do you understand?"

After saying that, he didn't give any chance to refuse, grabbed Zhang Feng's hand, and placed the appointment letter in it.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng felt Shen Hanshan squeeze his hand firmly.

Especially Shen Hanshan's gaze, it carried a hint of seriousness, as though conveying a message to Zhang Feng.

This scene made Zhang Feng's thoughts sink, pondering internally:

"Could it be that Shen Hanshan has some underlying motive with this arrangement?"

For a moment, Zhang Feng felt a bit unsure.

But with everyone witnessing the event, his refusal was utterly futile!

He could only wear a helpless expression on his face, nodding to Shen Hanshan saying:

"Well... alright..."

"Thanks for nurturing me, leader..."

"Clap clap clap clap—"

As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, crisp applause burst out.

Initially, only a few people clapped, including the four, Officer Hu and the others.

Under their lead, the whole restaurant erupted with applause.

However, the applause was mixed with different emotions.

Many young people around Zhang Feng's age looked at him with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Of course!

Just days after starting, and spanning several ranks!

Moreover, the leaders negotiated terms, coaxing you to get promoted!

Goodness, when did promotions require coaxing!

They were envious!

Why couldn't such good fortune land on them!!

This Zhang Feng, wasn't he just being modest while gaining a lot?!

Really jealous!!!

Feeling those resentful eyes mixed in the applause.

Zhang Feng felt entirely uneasy, but there was absolutely nothing he could do!

Finally, as Shen Hanshan handed a new credential to Zhang Feng, his visit's task was completed.

If there were a host on stage now, it would definitely be: "Everyone, enjoy your meal and drinks!"

Indeed, the meal started.

Yet at the table, looking at the badge with the words "Special Assignment Central Patrol Group," and the small photo of himself, Zhang Feng found it impossible to eat a thing!

The most annoying part was, Shen Hanshan barely touched his food, nodded at Zhang Feng, said he was full, and left!

Once he left, the rest of the white shirts had no more reason to stay, and the lone branch head of the D City Branch acted as a runner, chasing after them.

The table of dishes remained basically untouched, leaving Zhang Feng all alone.

It's truly a case of social death right there!

But at least, Zhang Feng finally had a reason to escape!

Leaving the restaurant, Zhang Feng finally caught a breath. The feeling of all those eyes on him was seriously discomforting!

But, just as Zhang Feng was about to leave, he ran into four familiar faces.

Lin Rui led the way forward, laughing and linking her arm with Zhang Feng's, she said:

"I knew you were going to run."

Hu Huixin wanted to mimic Lin Rui, but with her father present, she just looked enviously at Lin Rui.

Officer Ma and Officer Hu exchanged a sly smile, walked up to Zhang Feng, and stood at attention.

With a "snap!" they saluted Zhang Feng in unison, saying together:

"Hello, leader!"

"Puh—"

Zhang Feng almost spat a mouthful of old blood, complaining:

"Officer Hu, Officer Ma, that's too much!"

Amid their laughter, a gentle woman's voice suddenly came:

"Good evening, Forensic Doctor Zhang."

Upon hearing this, everyone froze, instinctively turning their heads.

There stood the famous actress Mu Qianqian, holding her daughter Mu Xue'Er's hand, graceful and poised, with a slight blush on her face.

Why was Mu Qianqian also here?

But for some reason, just seeing Mu Qianqian made Zhang Feng's eyelid twitch slightly.

A peculiar glint appeared in his eye at once.

Unlike before when his right eyelid twitched, this time his left eyelid twitched.

The saying goes, when the right eye twitches, good luck comes, but when the left eye twitches, romance follows!

Suddenly, Zhang Feng felt an odd premonition.

Tonight...

It seemed like something unusual was going to happen!
