Chapter 366 Cai Ning as public image
Such near-like worship for officials created endless greed and was easier to become the breeding ground for corruption, as checks and balances had a missing element—the people.
Officials themselves were arrogant, not regarding themselves as mere public servants, who were working for the people and were paid by the people, along with some benefits because ordinary people couldn't make a proper decision for the country or had no time.
It wasn't wrong to call them, they were electors, serving as representatives, not to indulge in wealth and power. The psychological seesaw dictated whether the government could emerge as less corrupted or an evil system.
Alan and Lin Bing moved their eyes toward the new figure because the surrounding became quieter, particularly officers who had loud voices, conversing with the people or criminals brought in.
Both knew this person might be a higher authority because everyone paid attention to details, not wanting a bad impression of themselves.
They saw a policewoman exuding vibrant energy and felt a sense of coercion as she walked in their direction. Wearing a blue and black uniform, with a skirt and a pair of black high-heel boots, reaching above the knees, this policewoman depicted alluring to another level.
Tight fit sculpting her great figure, the woman paused her searching gaze at the couple. Both understood this should be the responsible person meeting them.
However, the serious atmosphere was disturbed by a gulping sound. Alan felt pain in his waist and looked down. A hand twisted his fat skin layer mercilessly and cold sweats formed on his forehead.
Looking upward, Alan chuckled nervously, trying to mitigate Lin Bing's aggression. He just admired a beautiful policewoman who could be a supermodel. Any male would behave the same as his. He swore he had no other intention.
[Pfft! Alan's painful expression yet not daring to exclaim is so funny. He's definitely suppressed by his wife.]
[I love the couple's interaction. It never ceases to be boring.]
[Does anyone realize Alan gulp? I can make a strong judgment according to Lin Bing's jealous behavior, Alan is salivating at another beautiful girl.]
[Above, we're at a police station. That means the culprit should be police flower.]n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
[Police flower. Wow, what kind of woman can stun Our Alan? She must be no simple based on Alan's reaction.]
The netizens were extremely curious of the identity of the police flower and urged Alan to turn the camera but Alan didn't react to their demand and their chatters brought amusement to other audience, glancing at the lively chatbox.
"Ouch! Please forgive me, wife. Give me some face," whispered Alan with a red face.
Female officers attending to the couple laughed, not feeling strange at the reaction. They knew many people reacted similarly the first time they saw Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning.
Their sexiness stood at another level compared to other beauties in the entire department. Moreover, their superior's aura formed a killer move against any males.
Many male officers wished to gain the two goddesses' favors but no one dared to make a move, even after several planning. Because once they stood in person in front of the two chiefs, their courage wilted.
"I presume you are Mr. Alan. Welcome to City N police station." Cai Ning stepped forward, her eyes taking notes of Lin Bing's vinegar.
Lin Bing released her grasp and Alan waved and hurriedly greeted back. "Hello, you can call me Alan and this is my wife, Lin Bing, I have come for an appointment."
Lin Bing nodded, apparently satisfied with her husband's openness. Cai Ning smiled at the woman and thought these two were funny.
"Yes, I know. Chief Yang is on sick leave today. I'll take over her work," said Cai Ning. "Allow me to introduce myself. Vice-chief of the station, Cai Ning."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Chief Cai." Alan and Lin Bing responded.
"The pleasure's all mine," replied Cai Ning.
While Cai Ning spoke, the pop-ups inside the chatbox grew like a sponge, almost making others hard to read the text. Everyone became more excited, hearing the voice. All agreed this was the tone of a female mafia boss with slight coldness and domineering energy.
Some even shouted their knees were weak. Step on them, please. Anyway, the heat had turned into 18+ scriptures.
"Is the police chief doing fine?" Lin Bing asked with some worries because out of all the police chiefs she had known, the one in this station had excellent performances and incorruptible steelwill. She had confidence under the current chief's lead, the province's safety should improve in the future, which meant a higher safety level for her parents.
She didn't want this one to fall out of the chair due to health issues. Of course, other officers who heard the information glanced at Cai Ning with trepidation. They just had good days, were respected by many, and were scared to lose these precious gifts.
Cai Ning had her lips twitched. Why was everyone expressing worries? That bastard should be sleeping lazily.
"Don't worry. She's merely taking a rest after working hard the entire night." Cai Ning bit the word—hard. "I'm someone who has grown up with her since childhood; so, I'm sure after taking a day off, she'll come back with a full battery."
"That's a relief to hear," said Lin Bing.
"Let's focus on your part. Let me express, representing the station, I express my gratitude for helping us." Cai Ning bowed her head a little.
"Please don't do this, Chief Cai. I'm happy to contribute to your police work." Alan and Lin Bing hurriedly rejected Cai Ning's action. "It's also our citizens' responsibilities to ensure our communities are safe."
"I'm thrilled to hear your thoughts and it's a great relief for all of us." Cai Ning paused. "Chief Yang put emphasis on public relations affairs and to cooperate with professionals. Are you live broadcasting at the moment?"
"Eh? Ah! Do you need me to turn off right now?" Alan asked with panic. He understood law enforcement agencies paid attention to confidentiality seriously. Even though he obtained consent from the officers on the ground floor, when the chief asked, he didn't know if he had done wrong.
"No need to turn off the device now. The follow-up video production must be carefully edited to ensure some secrets aren't leaked, making live-broadcasting impossible."
"I understand. How can I cooperate?"
"You can participate in a policing event this week and record the activities. The final edit must go through our supervision so that we can blur or cut some scenes." Cai Ning explained.
Lin Bing and Alan accepted the deal happily. These were usual procedures. But they felt pity, losing a live broadcasting opportunity, which had its special attraction.
Seeing their expression, Cai Ning smiled and added: "As for live broadcasting, I'll give you a chance today where I'll answer your fans' inquiries and introduce briefly about our work."
Alan became exhilarated. Lin Bing was also surprised. Both knew the scenario was a rare opportunity and thanked Cai Ning. "Does Chief Cai have any ideas?"
"Well, since I have seen high interest in our police vehicles in the past months, let's begin with our police fleet."
"It's awesome. Don't say about the netizens; we're also curious and want to find out if police vehicles have any secrets?" Alan nodded and spoke.
"Then shall we go and see our fleet." Cai Ning suggested.
"Of course."
"Does your fan have any special request?" Cai Ning suddenly was curious about the bubbling interaction, she saw on the device screen. Although she wasn't a tech geek, she still knew common sense that she could sense excitement from these viewers.
Alan read the netizens' request, ignoring strange remarks and showed embarrassment on his face.
"What's the matter?" Lin Bing grabbed the device and soon had the same expression.
"Don't worry about offending me. I can give you a simple answer of yes and no, with their demands. There's no need to feel troublesome," Cai Ning answered her thought.
"Actually, the chatbox is filled with one demand. My fans like to see you and know more about you. They want to discover what a true police flower is." Alan said with a wry smile.
"Chief Cai doesn't need to care about their demand. We always encounter such scenarios." Lin Bing remedied to avoid offending Cai Ning.
"…" Cai Ning stopped and asked. "So, they demand to see me on screen."
Alan and Lin Bing nodded.
"Sergeant Mi, care to accompany me today."
"With pleasure, Ma'am."
"Mr. Alan and Mrs. Lin, follow me first," said Cai Ning.
Alan and Lin Bing shrugged and tagged along behind Cai Ning and Sergeant Mi, purposefully neglecting the demands on the screen and turning it black. The crowds were whining in despair.
However, both didn't want to pressure Cai Ning and made such a decision. Since the vice-chief avoided talking, they mustn't be shameless to continue pursuing.
"In fact, Mr. Alan and Mrs. Lin don't need to feel troublesome. Although I don't like to show off my identity and attract more nuances, I can accept the camera lens," said Cai Ning after a while. She was telling the truth. Her line of work had forced Cai Ning to appear on camera vision rarely and she felt a little unwell.
Nonetheless, taking in a high-ranking position came at a cost and Cai Ning knew she had to take the step someday.
Upon hearing positive news, Alan and Lin Bing exchanged glances and sighed in relief. "In that case, I'll turn on the screen and start recording again. Is there anything I'll have to pay attention?"
Cai Ning: "No, you can be at ease. I'll remind you when the time comes."
