Chapter 47: 47, Promotion
“What?”
“God… Group Leader Lin, he actually…”
“What Group Leader Lin, the announcement has already stated it’s a Patrol Officer, from now on it’s Captain Lin!”
“Does anyone remember, Captain Lin was only promoted two months ago? Only two months and now a promotion to Deputy Captain?”
“Dang, riding a rocket!”
“Just two months back, Captain Lin was an external temporary Patrol Officer, a genius…”
...
On this day, every formal Patrol of the Xiao Shan District Patrol Bureau had received the shocking news from the Patrol System, almost everyone was dumbfounded, barely able to believe their own eyes.
The news swept through the entire Patrol Bureau of Xiao Shan District like a hurricane, then surged towards the other bureaus of Lin’an City.
A Patrol who had officially been on the job for only two months had, like riding a rocket, shot up to the level of Patrol Officer; this news was enough to stir up heated discussion and turmoil throughout the entire city of Lin’an.
Even if there had been faster records before, they were extremely rare.
Everyone understood that a Patrol Officer merely eighteen years old would have a very bright future.
Even becoming the next Patrol Chief of Lin’an City would be quite normal!
For a while, not only within the Xiao Shan District Bureau but also Patrols and civil servants began to send all sorts of friendly congratulations.
Even the WeChat group ‘Lin’an City Frontline Patrol Group’ of Patrol Departments from other districts were also flooding the group with congratulatory messages and virtual red envelopes were flying everywhere.
Even the Patrol Officers who seldom spoke up in the group, quite a few of them popped up to offer congratulations and took the initiative to send friend requests to Lin Qing.
In this group, at the very least, were Patrol Officers who had mastered the 46-level Practice Method, bound to become Patrol Chiefs eventually.
Most were Patrol Chiefs at the level of group leaders.
There were also captains and deputy captains of the twelve district bureaus, all Patrol Officers, making up a total of seventeen people including Lin Qing.
But whether Patrol Chiefs or Patrol Officers, their attitude towards Lin Qing was very friendly, obviously because of his current status and future prospects.
The degree of friendliness in the world depended entirely on personal status.
[You’ve received a red packet from Patrol Chief Yuan Anping, 0.01 yuan has been credited to your wallet]
While Lin Qing was getting hand cramps from receiving red packets, he suddenly found a red packet of 1 yuan divided among a hundred people and was slightly taken aback.
On a closer look at the sender of the red packet, it was Yuan Anping, the General Captain?
Could he really send such a tiny red packet??
[Patrol Chief Yuan Anping: Lately, I’ve been using my salary to aid the poor in society, leaving only one yuan in my WeChat balance, but this is also a gesture of goodwill]
All the money going to help delinquent girls, right?
Lin Qing immediately replied—
[Patrol Officer Lin Qing: As expected of Patrol Chief, easily doing things we wouldn’t dare to]
Others might think he’s too eager to progress, all copying with a +1, but Yuan Anping knew at a glance this kid was being sarcastic and replied with a silly laugh emoji before going silent and playing dead.
“Tsk…”
Inside the Conference Room of Group Seven, Lin Qing somewhat lacked a response as he opened Yuan Anping’s private chat interface, tapped on his profile picture, and sent a message over:
[Don’t forget about the thing you promised yesterday, Patrol Chief, on this great day]
[Yuan Anping: Rest assured, as long as I’m here, there will be no accidents.
And it’s not that I’m stingy, I’m just afraid of people discovering our relationship (pitiful)]
Lin Qing’s mouth twitched slightly and he sent a reply:
[Why don’t you V me fifty to show your strength, Patrol Chief?]
Yuan Anping started playing dead again.
Lin Qing, lost for words, ferociously poked the other’s cartoon bear avatar twice.
“Captain Lin,” Zhao Jiayi said, her legs crossed lazily on the sofa across from him, unable to help but speak up: “On this great day of your promotion, you’re hiding here snatching red packets?”
“The position hasn’t changed yet, I’m still a group leader,” Lin Qing glanced at her, “and you grabbed more than I did.”
Zhao Jiayi coughed slightly, “But I’m not the main character today.”
“Getting tired of listening to their flattering congratulations,” Lin Qing said casually: “Better to snatch some red envelopes.”
At that moment, his phone suddenly vibrated, it was a call from Kou Guoyong, the bureau chief.
“Lin Qing, come up for a moment, your notice of position change has arrived.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Lin Qing immediately stood up.
“Getting promoted to Deputy Captain?” asked Zhao Jiayi, beaming and lifting her head to look at Lin Qing.
“Pretty sharp ears.”
Lin Qing glanced at her and suddenly said, “By the way, I heard the Deputy Captain’s office can recruit an executive assistant from the official Patrols, no need to follow the group daily, do you want it? If you’re interested, I’ll nominate you. Otherwise, I’ll just let the bureau pick for me.”
“Of course!” Zhao Jiayi immediately nodded, “I don’t want to go out on duty every day, hanging onto your coattails is much better.”
“Fine.”
Lin Qing nodded slightly and then turned to walk out of the conference room.
After he had left, Zhao Jiayi couldn’t help muttering to herself, “He even has a good relationship with the General Captain… It looks like some big moves are coming…”
…
Inside the office of the Patrol Bureau Chief.
“Lin Qing, starting today, you are the Deputy Captain of our Xiao Shan District Patrol Team.”
Kou Guoyong said with a beaming smile, “The work permit has been updated, and the patrol officer’s uniform and epaulets will arrive tomorrow. The salary, benefits, and authority changes will all follow up soon.”
Lin Qing nodded.
The salary for a Level 3 Patrol Officer was eleven thousand, but it wasn’t of much significance; it was merely symbolic.
“As for the details of your job change…”
Kou Guoyong turned his head to look at Xiao Peidong, who stood silently beside him, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
He knew that Xiao Peidong, the acting Captain transferred from another district, obviously wanted to become permanent.
But that would require time and merit.
Captain Chen Yanan was still in the hospital and couldn’t return to normal work for several months. Xiao Peidong had a chance to become permanent.
But who would have thought that Lin Qing would suddenly appear, rising up like a rocket to become Deputy Captain?
As a local of Xiao Shan District and so young, by the time the next City Bureau promotion evaluation comes around on the 20th next month, the higher-ups would certainly consider making Lin Qing permanent.
Even now, Xiao Peidong was only acting Captain, which meant his position and rank was equivalent to that of Deputy Captain.
“Captain Xiao.”
Kou Guoyong looked at Xiao Peidong with an implicit suggestion, “Although you’re the acting Captain, you do have more experience than Deputy Captain Lin, so I’ll leave it to you to discuss the duties with Captain Lin.”
Kou Guoyong was worried that Xiao Peidong would be upset and give Lin Qing, the promising Deputy Captain, attitude, which would make things ugly.
However—
“Haha, what’s there to discuss?”
Xiao Peidong laughed, “I think it won’t be long before Deputy Captain Lin becomes the real Captain Lin, and I should be reporting to him.”
He looked at Lin Qing with a cheerful expression, “Moreover, Captain Lin has become a patrol officer so young, he has a limitless future. Perhaps someday, he will be the General Captain of our Lin’an City.”
Kou Guoyong was slightly startled; he hadn’t expected Xiao Peidong to be so flexible at his age.
Although unsure about the sincerity, Kou Guoyong felt somewhat relieved and immediately laughed, “I agree. Our little corner of the Patrol Bureau probably can’t contain Captain Lin for long.”
He said this also to hint to Xiao Peidong about the significant gap and to not act rashly.
“Of course.”
Xiao Peidong grinned at Lin Qing, “Even if you become permanent soon, I should stay on as your deputy. When you become the General Captain later, it would be a great honor for me, Xiao Peidong, to have been your Deputy Captain.”
Lin Qing knew that this man was cunning and not as easygoing as he appeared, just good at hiding it.
However, you don’t hit a smiling face, and since it was only a guess, all he could do was politely say, “Captain Xiao is too flattering.”
“Haha, where’s the flattery? I really mean everything I said…”
…
Half an hour later.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
Inside the private training room next to the Captain’s office.
“Damn!”
Xiao Peidong’s face was incredibly grim, his hands clutching his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a frightening sharpness.
Strands of distorted black lines spread slowly from the depths of his eyes, gradually covering his whites and making him appear even more fierce.
“He should have been taken out earlier!”
Xiao Peidong’s teeth clenched noisily, “Even if I unleash my real strength and defeat him during the promotion assessment, the higher-ups will probably choose him! Unless I master the Original Sunrise Training Method, I won’t have an absolute advantage, but with just over a month, there’s no way…”
He was very clear.
Not only did he need more time to reach the peak of the Seventy-seventh Version of Practice Method, but even if he took the Super Sensing Liquid, it would take a month or two to be effective.
But the promotion assessment starts on the 20th next month, and there’s simply not enough time!
“This is my biggest opportunity, I can’t lose it…”
The thought of that dark lab cage made Xiao Peidong shiver uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath and pulled out a hidden backup phone: “You’ve forced my hand…”
[Big trouble has arrived. Lin Qing has been promoted to Deputy Captain. Get Chu Tianyao to make a move. Don’t need to kill Lin Qing, to avoid attracting an Inspection Headquarters investigation. Just break his legs, so he can’t compete with me for the next few months.]
After sending the message through a secret website, Xiao Peidong rubbed his hands around the phone vigorously, turning it into powder.
His gaze grew even colder.
“Blame yourself; you just don’t understand what kind of power you have meddled with…”
