Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Cao Jianjun was puzzled: "What you're saying... has it to do with Xia Jie?"

The director stared straight at Cao Jianjun, lowering his voice slightly: "Don't you know Xia Jie likes you?"

"Like...like me?"

Cao Jianjun stood up with a look of utter disbelief: "Chief, where did you hear that from?"

"Hum..."

The director gave a cold laugh, sounding annoyed: "Cao Jianjun, although I'm getting old, I'm not stupid."

"Ever since you left, this girl hasn't been able to focus on her work."

Every few days, they ask me, "Where have you been? When are you coming back? Do you have my contact information?"

"As soon as the news about the drug-making village in Tazhai came out a few days ago, this girl kept staring at you..."

"Although I am the director, I have seen the problems that every comrade in the institute has in addition to their work and life."

“Especially Xia Jie, her father is our former director, do you think I wouldn’t have sensed it?”

Cao Jianjun didn't know how to respond.

Looking back on my time with Xia Jie, to be honest, I only had a slight liking for her.

"My dear director, you..."

Cao Jianjun thought about it more and more and felt that the director was talking nonsense. He stood up and said, "Oh, I'm ten years older than Xia Jie. She's just a little girl."

"Chief, what are you talking about?"

"Besides, I'm about to go to the provincial department. Oh dear... Director, you should go work at a matchmaking agency after you retire."

After saying that, Cao Jianjun waved his hand, turned around and left.

Even a little angry.

The director didn't stop them; instead, he smiled.

Cao Jianjun's reaction shows that there is really nothing between him and Xia Jie. At most, it's just that Xia Jie has a distorted mentality due to the lack of fatherly love since childhood.

If that's the case, Wang Shouyi will feel much more at ease.

Cao Jianjun had just come down from the second floor and was about to go to the office when he bumped into Xia Jie as he turned a corner.

"Brother Cao..."

It had been a long time since we last met, and Xia Jie was still wearing the same outfit.

Her slender figure was dressed in a police uniform, and beneath her rolled-up hat, her almond-shaped eyes were smiling, her cherry lips parted to reveal her porcelain-white teeth.

"Are you back?"

"Ah... Xia Jie."

Cao Jianjun suddenly felt a little lost.

What was supposed to be a normal meeting between colleagues was disrupted by the director's fabricated story, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Then...should we return it?"

Xia Jie excitedly leaned closer and gently patted Cao Jianjun's shoulder: "Brother Cao, I remember your promise from the Northeast!"

"Ah, this..."

Cao Jianjun was quite embarrassed, and gave a wry smile: "Xia Jie, it's not certain whether I'll go to the provincial department now."

"how is this possible?"

Xia Jie blinked in surprise: "I've heard that you're definitely going to the Provincial Criminal Investigation Division this time you're back~".

"..."

Cao Jianjun felt like cursing, so he cleared his throat and said, "Who told you all this?"

"Listen to the station..."

Don't listen to rumors.

Cao Jianjun dared not make any promises: "When I returned from South Vietnam, Vice Minister Hao from the ministry said that my personnel arrangements would have to wait and see."

"Where you go is a matter for the ministry to consider?"

Xia Jie's pretty face was filled with shock.

It's important to know that although Cao Jianjun has been commended several times, his current rank and position are still that of a police officer.

As a result, even a junior police officer's job transfer had to bypass the provincial department and go directly to the ministry for review.

That’s outrageous!

That's what the leader said.

Cao Jianjun could only boast like this: "So, Xia Jie, I really..."

"No, Brother Cao, since you've already gone to the ministry, wouldn't it be easier to arrange for me to go to the provincial criminal investigation team?"

"..."

Cao Jianjun was touched by her thought process, and looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Xia Jie, aren't you overestimating Brother Cao? I was transferred by the department, not sent to the department."

"Anyway, there's no difference."

Xia Jie remained stubborn: "I've already convinced my mom, now I'm just waiting for Brother Cao's word."

"..."

Cao Jianjun now finally understood why the director had given him those instructions.

The director is right, Xia Jie is really stubborn.

She is different from Huang Xi.

Huang Xi is a thoughtful and sensitive woman. She knew that Cao Jianjun had a wife and children, and she knew that being a mistress was very difficult, so she obediently left.

Xia Jie won't do.

Xia Jie had made up her mind about one thing, and it was clear she was going all in.

"That...that..."

Cao Jianjun felt he couldn't stay at the institute any longer. He pointed to his wristwatch and said, "I have other things to do right now. As for what you're talking about, I... I'll see later, okay? I'll see later..."

With that, Cao Jianjun turned and left in a flash.

"Hey, Brother Cao..."

"Xia Jie!"

Just as Xia Jie was about to chase after her, the director's voice rang out from the second floor: "Come here, I have something to tell you."

This completely saved Cao Jianjun.

I originally wanted to catch up with Chen Xincheng and Gao Suo, and then find a place to have a few drinks after work.

It seems that this approach won't work now.

Cao Jianjun had no choice but to drive around the city.

With his daughter's one-month celebration just over ten days away, Cao Jianjun needed to book a hotel in advance, considering that he would be hosting a large number of guests.

I don't know who spread the news that my wife gave birth.

Li Chengyang, He Yong, Da Jiang, and others called to congratulate him immediately and even sent red envelopes via WeChat.

These people will definitely need to be invited to a banquet when the baby is full-moon celebration.

Including colleagues and their families, there would be at least fifteen or sixteen tables.

If a table is priced at 1,000 yuan, Cao Jianjun suddenly felt that his salary was a bit low.

I had lunch at a small, unassuming restaurant, and then continued wandering around in the afternoon, inquiring about several hotels with good value for money, but they were all fully booked for the next two weeks.

no way.

With the college entrance examination recently concluded, many families are preparing to hold large banquets.

After wandering around until 3 p.m., Cao Jianjun finally found a large hotel, paid the deposit, and left.

Ten days or so can pass quickly.

Cao Jianjun felt that he spent every day with his wife and children, and in the evening he would take Zhou Hui for a walk in the neighborhood.

Before we knew it, the day of the full moon celebration arrived.

In Jinan, it's customary to hold a full moon celebration at noon.

So Cao Jianjun rushed to the hotel early in the morning to start setting up the venue.

He Yong, Li Chengyang, Da Jiang and several others arrived last night.

When Cao Jianjun arrived at the hotel, he saw Yang Shu standing at the hotel entrance, still in his police uniform, smiling and greeting him.

"Master!"

"Poplar?"
