Chapter 144 Telephone
It is true that Feixing Records is in great need of signed singers.

However, Jiang Yao handed the matters over there to Wang Tengfei to handle, as he himself was too lazy to spend the energy to take care of it.

After all, what he really relies on is his own strength, not anything else.

There are too many miscellaneous things to do in running a company. If he has the energy, he might as well look for some old cases to see if he can find some clues about the weird things.

The main reason he acquired Feixing Records was because he had the classic songs from his past life as a backing, and he didn't think he could lose money by doing this.

In addition, as a public servant, he often received some money from unclear sources. Through Feixing Records, he could more easily turn this money into his legal income.

Doing business is not his strong point. He does this just as a hobby. He has never thought about entering the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, how could he have infiltrated the police force and become a small uniformed policeman.

Although his current identity does not make him a big shot, he has an information advantage, which allows him to access some mysterious things that ordinary people cannot access at all.

These things are what Jiang Yao truly values.

I met Li Fei by chance and asked her if she would like to join my company. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thought.

Since she already had a good marriage and rejected him cleanly before he could finish his words, Jiang Yao naturally wouldn't do anything out of self-indulgent desire.

"Are you also a resident singer in the bar?" Turning around, looking at the shrimp dumplings that the waiter in the restaurant had just brought to him, Jiang Yao picked up one and put it into his mouth.

Then he raised his head and looked at Zhang Jingwen, who was sitting opposite him and looking at him with a smile.

As long as a woman maintains a good figure, has a decent face shape, regular facial features without a missing nose or eyes, and dresses up well, she can be considered a beauty in the eyes of ordinary people.

Such beauties are all natural, not the kind that have had plastic surgery on their face or body.

Zhang Jingwen in front of him was nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a decent figure and appearance. As for her singing, Jiang Yao had never heard it, so he could not comment.

But since she is able to perform in a bar, she must be tune-deaf and should have some singing skills.

Taking his eyes off Zhang Jingwen, Jiang Yao thought for a while and said, "The company I'm talking about is called Feixing Records. They recently released a record for their contracted singer Zhang Fangxin, and the sales are pretty good."

"If you are interested in developing a career in the music industry, I can recommend that you sign a contract with this company..."

Zhang Jingwen just said that simply because she was a little unhappy seeing her best friend marrying up with a rich man, and she was just teasing Jiang Yao to amuse herself.

But now, after hearing what Jiang Yao said seriously, her eyes lit up and she sat up straighter.

Before Jiang Yao finished speaking, she was so excited that she couldn't wait to take over the conversation: "Flying Star Records? Zhang Fang? I know the album you're talking about."

"The Distant Her and Forget Love on a Cold Rainy Night, these two songs in the album are quite popular recently. When I walk on the street, I often hear these two songs being played in small shops on the roadside."

"Brother Yao, did you set up Feixing Records? Are you the boss of that company?"

“Can I really sign with that company and release a new album?”

"Yeah!" Jiang Yao nodded and was about to respond when he suddenly felt his legs itchy.

With his head lowered, he looked down.

A small foot wearing black stockings seemed to be stretched out from the opposite side. After rubbing against his calf for a few times, the foot was still climbing up little by little.

"Um... Wenwen, right? I only own a small portion of Feixing Records..."

"If you really want to sign with this company, when you go to their place, just mention my name and say that I recommended you there."

"As for your future development and whether the company will help you release a new album, you need to perform well. Whether you can become popular depends on your own ability!"

Jiang Yao moved his chair and made a righteous statement.

If it were some other more private place, with Zhang Jingwen's behavior, he might be able to accept it reluctantly.

But inside Huang Ji Tea Restaurant, people are coming and going; it is a public place.

As a police officer, he must try his best to avoid suspicion and not let others think that he is behaving inappropriately in public.

"Got it, Brother Yao, I'll go to Feixing Records' headquarters later and tell them your name directly!" Zhang Jingwen retracted her black silk feet back into her high heels. Looking at Jiang Yao who was a little embarrassed opposite her, she covered her mouth and sneered, and responded.

"I'm glad to know. It's getting late and I have to go to work. I won't stay with you any longer!" It's really unbearable to be with women in the entertainment industry. After Jiang Yao finished his meal in a hurry, he stood up, said hello to Zhang Jingwen, and left.

Uniformed police officers like him always wear casual clothes when they are off duty. Only when they are on duty will they change into the uniform in the police station.

After hearing Jiang Yao say that he was going to work, Zhang Jingwen must have misunderstood something.

By the time she paid the bill and ran out of Huang's Tea Restaurant, Jiang Yao, who had left before her, had long disappeared.

"Want to avoid me? I'll go to your company now and see where you can hide?" After looking around and not finding Jiang Yao, she waved her hand, stopped a taxi, and got in.

……

Fang Kitting’s home at Rainbow Building, Nam Dun Road, Yau Ma Tei.

Fang Jieting felt uncomfortable the whole day, but she couldn't tell where she felt uncomfortable.

In the morning, she took some time to go to the hospital and had a comprehensive check-up.

The results of the examination showed that she was in good health and everything was normal.

Low blood sugar, insomnia, and anxiety were all because she worked too hard and didn't get enough rest. The doctor advised her to relax and have a good rest at home for a few days.

Known as a workaholic, she returned to the police station and worked for a few more hours despite her illness. When she felt she could no longer bear it, she rarely worked overtime and hobbled back home.

She went home and fell asleep without even taking a shower.

"What's going on? Why am I squatting here?" She didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She was completely dazed and finally woke up a little.

At this moment, she had already left the big bed and squatted in front of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator door was wide open, and pieces of fresh meat were placed in the refrigerator compartments in a disorderly manner, as if they had been gnawed by a dog.

There were also quite a few pieces of meat scattered on the ground in front of her.

What's even more outrageous is that Fang Jieting actually found herself holding a frozen chicken with only a small piece of it left.

"I ate this raw chicken meat like this? Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could I eat this?" Fang Jieting threw the remaining half of the frozen chicken far away, her face full of horror. She sat on the ground with her head in her arms and began to mutter to herself. During the day, she had no appetite for any food.

After working a day at the police station, she had only a few drinks and nothing else to eat.

After sitting on the ground for only a few minutes, her stomach began to growl.

"Hungry... so hungry..." She muttered to herself unconsciously, raised her head, and her eyes fell on the half frozen chicken that she had just thrown away in the corner.

She knew it was wrong to do so, but she just couldn't control her body's instincts.

With staggering steps, she moved to the corner little by little, grabbed the frozen chicken, opened her mouth, and began to bite it in big bites.

When she had torn the frozen chicken to pieces until only a chicken foot was left, the extreme hunger in her heart finally eased a little.

She was able to control herself again and immediately threw away the chicken foot in her hand.

She has always been a strong woman, but at this moment her emotions were on the verge of collapse. She didn't care about her image at all, she just sat down in the corner and began to sob softly.

Call the police? She is the police herself.

If you really want to call the police, what should you say when they come to your door? Say that you were so hungry that you ate the raw meat and frozen chicken you had stored in the refrigerator?

If Fang Jieting really did that, even if she survived by chance, she would be regarded as a monster by her colleagues in the police force.

Besides, I am a senior inspector who has worked in the police force for so many years, but I don’t know how to deal with the current situation. What role can those ordinary police officers play if they come to my door?
Fang Jieting, with a feeling of powerlessness in her heart and tears all over her face, finally stopped crying and slowly stood up from the corner.

She stumbled, found her cell phone on the bedside table, and sat down against the wall again.

She was on the verge of collapse. Fang Jieting was now at her most vulnerable and depressed. At this moment, she really hoped that someone could be by her side, talk to her, and listen to her.

I looked at the time displayed on the phone screen. It was already late, just a little bit to 11 o'clock in the evening.

Then she looked through her phone book.

Although there are many contacts in the mobile phone address book, Fang Jieting really doesn't know who she should call at this moment.

Those colleagues in the police station?
After she took office, she devoted herself to her work, often working day and night. Her team members had no choice but to work overtime with her.

On the surface, they were polite to Fang Jieting and did their best to complete the tasks she assigned them. However, secretly, they called Fang Jieting an old witch and often complained behind her back that she was only trying to exploit them.

In the past one or two months after being transferred to the West Kowloon Police Station, she has spent almost all her time on work except for eating and sleeping. With this kind of situation, it is really difficult to find a few private friends for her.

With dull eyes, Fang Jieting silently shed tears. Finally, after seeing a familiar name in her mobile phone address book, she gritted her teeth, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to start dialing.

……

Tsim Sha Tsui, on a street.

Jiang Yao and Li Hongsheng were dressed in military uniforms and walked slowly on the sidewalk.

"It's almost time to get off work. Another day has passed without any major incidents!" Li Hongsheng raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said with a cheerful smile.

"Those thugs on the street are all behaving themselves now. I have no interest in having fun with them!" Jiang Yao, who was standing aside, sighed and said with emotion.

He liked the arrogant look of those guys, so he went over with his baton and knocked them down with a few hits.

There were many such things in the first few days of work, and Jiang Yao enjoyed them very much. But now, he can no longer find that kind of happiness. The happy days before are long gone.

"Come on, Ayao, isn't it good to be so peaceful every day?"

"Those gang members are like this because they can't beat you, right?"

"Although they were honest when you were on duty, their colleagues have been complaining recently because they have been bullied by that gang of gangsters!"

Li Hongsheng responded with a laugh.

As Jiang Yao's partner, he had been worried for some time, but recently he has been much more comfortable.

As he was talking, the cell phone in Jiang Yao's pocket suddenly rang.

"Brother Sheng, let me take a call first!" After looking at the caller ID on the phone, it seemed to be an unfamiliar number. He greeted Li Hongsheng, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call directly.

"Brother Yao, are you free now?"

"I went to Feixing Records this afternoon and successfully signed the contract."

"I heard from Mr. Wang that if a signed singer like me wants to release a new album, we have to let you, Brother Yao, listen to the sound first, and then tailor the songs for us."

"I'm in good shape now. If you want to come over, I'll sing just for you!"

……

The voice coming out of the microphone sounded a bit coquettish.

When Jiang Yao first heard this voice, he didn't remember who it was. It was only until he heard her next words that he remembered Zhang Jingwen whom he met in Huang's Tea Restaurant during the day.

"I'm working now and don't have any free time for the time being."

"We'll talk about the audition of your singing in a few days."

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!"

Seeing Li Hongsheng looking at him strangely, Jiang Yao frowned slightly. He made up an excuse to send Zhang Jingwen away, then hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.

"Girlfriend?" Li Hongsheng asked with a smile.

"No, it's a neighbor I used to know who sings in a bar, and she wants me to go to her place to listen to her sing!" Jiang Yao responded with a smile, shrugging his shoulders.

"I see. No wonder you speak in that tone."

Li Hongsheng nodded as he suddenly realized what was going on. "The girls in the KTV I frequent often call me to come over and play..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yao's cell phone, which he had just put away, rang again.
