Chapter 65

New book in soft pink seeks support, collection, and recommendations! This week, I've been promoting with underpants, but the effect hasn't been great, not really helping with collections and recommendations. So it all depends on everyone's support. I sincerely ask everyone to give a few more recommendations, giving me a chance to show my face on the charts. I bow in gratitude!

************************

The Criminal Investigation Team is now divided into two squads. One squad has over thirty people, mainly responsible for some of the city's murder cases and ordinary criminal cases.

The second squad, however, is well-known within the bureau as the elite of the elites, the famous Major Case Squad. This team has twelve members, mainly responsible for major criminal cases within the city.

Wei Zhengming is the captain of the second squad, while Wang Liming is the head of the first squad. These two have been competing openly and secretly for a long time, but overall, Wei Zhengming has the upper hand.

On one hand, it's because Wei Zhengming is indeed capable, and on the other, it's because the Major Case Squad he leads often solves some major and important cases, allowing him to frequently appear before the higher-ups.

If it weren't for the newly arrived Deputy Director Lei, the position of the head of the Criminal Investigation Team would have been a sure thing for Wei Zhengming. However, because of this newly arrived Deputy Director Lei, the atmosphere within the bureau has changed.

Recently, there has been a lot of news about Jingnan. It's said that this iron-faced top cop might be on the move, with some saying he might go to the provincial department, and others saying he might go to the central Ministry of Public Security. In any case, there are many different opinions, and because of this situation, the bureau has become unstable.

Li Xiangdong had no idea about any of this when he reported for duty. He received a phone call last night, telling him to report to the Major Case Squad this morning.

Afterward, Hao Runtong also called him, encouraging him to work hard. What surprised him even more was that he actually received a call from Jingnan, who similarly encouraged him to work hard.

If Li Xiangdong were a young, passionate person, the words of these two leaders might have made him excited for a while. But he has long been unperturbed by such things, so he wasn't overly excited. Since the leaders have made the arrangements, he would just follow their instructions.

"Everyone, quiet down. Let me introduce our new teammate, Li Xiangdong. I'm sure you're all familiar with this name."

Wei Zhengming and Li Xiangdong had already met before, at the scene of a kidnapping case. Wei Zhengming had praised him then and even joked about inviting him to the Major Case Squad after graduation. He didn't expect that his words would come true, and this young man actually came.

But it's good that this young man has real skills and is a rising star in the bureau. Wei Zhengming quite likes him.

"Haha, a big star! I've heard a lot about you, kid. I didn't expect you to join our team!"

A tall young man laughed and said, extending his hand to Li Xiangdong, "Hi, I'm Zhan Ming, the technical support for our second squad."

"Hehe, you're being unusually modest, kid!"

Wei Zhengming laughed and said, looking at the young man, then turned to Li Xiangdong, "Xiangdong, don't let Ming fool you with his jokes. His computer skills are top-notch in our bureau."

Wei Zhengming introduced Li Xiangdong, who also had a good impression of this young man, not much older than himself. He shook his hand and exchanged a few pleasantries.

The others in the room also came over to chat, and Wei Zhengming introduced each of them to Li Xiangdong. These seven or eight people are all Major Case Squad detectives, each with their own specialties.

For example, some are skilled drivers, some are skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and some are skilled in case analysis. Each has their own set of skills and is highly specialized in their field, which is why they can join this elite team.

Li Xiangdong expressed his respect to each of them. After all, he is a new member of the team, and his humble attitude quickly won the favor of everyone.

Everyone thought that after receiving a first-class merit and the title of hero, he would be arrogant. But they didn't expect him to be so humble and easy to talk to.

Wei Zhengming left Li Xiangdong in the room and assigned him a place to work. His new colleagues enthusiastically helped him set up his chair and even went to the logistics department to get a set of office equipment, though the computer would have to wait until the afternoon to be installed.

Soon, Wei Zhengming returned to their second squad office, this time followed by a woman.

"Cough, let me introduce another new member of our Major Case Squad. Her name is An Jiajing, and she is Li Xiangdong's classmate. I'll let her introduce herself."

The Major Case Squad is usually a place dominated by men, with very few female members. An Jiajing's sudden arrival made the atmosphere in the office momentarily stagnant.

There are already few women, and now a beautiful new female colleague has joined, leaving the Major Case Squad members a bit at a loss.

Zhan Ming was even a bit dazed, and even Li Xiangdong was quite surprised. He wasn't very clear about An Jiajing's family background, but he knew that her family had some influence.

Although she majored in criminal investigation, he always thought she would end up in a more relaxed and well-paid place like household registration management, or the entry-exit administration, or customs. He never thought she would come to the Major Case Squad.

But now, she is here!

"Hello everyone, I'm An Jiajing..."

Her clear, melodious voice and graceful demeanor quickly won the favor of the men. After her self-introduction, the colleagues even whistled in approval.

"Alright, Shao Wei, cut it out. If you keep this up, I'll call your wife."

Wei Zhengming shouted at Shao Wei, who was whistling the loudest and cheering the most. Shao Wei is a fat man in his thirties, with a square face and head. His whistling stopped when Captain Wei said this.

"Captain, you can't do that. I'm just warmly welcoming the new member, Jiajing."

"Is that how you welcome new members? If you really like welcoming new teammates, then how about you treat us to dinner tonight to welcome the two new members?"

Wei Zhengming teased Shao Wei, but Shao Wei's fat face didn't turn red.

"Hey, Captain, isn't that your job? Welcoming new members, and you want me to take the lead? Ha, I can talk, but you should treat us to dinner."

"Alright, I'll treat you. Tonight at Sanweiju, the usual place. We'll have hotpot and welcome the two new members."

Wei Zhengming's words were met with unanimous approval from the team members, but Li Xiangdong could hear a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice toward Shao Wei...
