My Life with Narration-Chapter 212 - 211: I Don’t Think I’ll Die Here

As a specially appointed cybersecurity consultant, Su Qing is quite competent.

On his first day at work, in the morning, Zhu Lili showed him around, and he got to know the office lady officers nearby.

As for Li Zijun's warning not to peek at people, he pretended not to hear it. Not only would he look, but he would do so openly.

However, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In fact, beautiful women are rare everywhere. Among the lady officers here, a few are not unattractive, but calling them beautiful would be an exaggeration. They're just ordinary people.

In comparison, Zhu Lili actually stands out quite well, of course, that's also due to his high standards.

He's just surrounded by so many pretty girls that he almost feels like beauties are as common as cabbages.

In the afternoon, the two of them gathered to discuss filming plans, and naturally, it was mostly up to him.

Meanwhile, Zhu Lili set up an official account and got it verified, then ran around the police department with her phone, asking all the staff to follow the account.

Since it's the Public Security Bureau's social media account, everyone treated it as a task, regardless of their interest in short videos, and followed it. Those who were older or didn't usually use short videos also downloaded the app and followed.

Within just an afternoon, thanks to Zhu Lili's efforts, she had gained over a hundred followers, painstakingly adding them one by one, even getting her family and friends to follow the account through her family group.

Otherwise, it would have been hard to gather even a hundred people, as the account was newly set up, still empty and waiting for official certification, let alone having followers.

While Zhu Lili was happily admiring her over a hundred followers, Su Qing was deep in thought about what content to post as the first video.

Jiang City, being a developed city, shouldn't let its Public Security Bureau's official account remain unnoticed, otherwise, what's the point of influence? Since that's the case, accumulating followers was the top priority.

He had already nailed down the secret to gaining traction, and he brought the secret with him. Yes, it's Da Huang.

Nowadays, this dog is a well-known influencer with hundreds of thousands of fans, and it can attract more followers. But as the first video for Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau's official account, it can't be too unrestrained.

Thinking it over, Su Qing decided to involve Da Huang. First, it would attract followers; second, it linked his account to the official one, gaining more exposure and allowing his own following to grow.

Most importantly, having this connection would provide protection for him.

Although, over the past month, thanks to Da Huang's 'brilliance' and the involvement of various internet stars, the account rapidly gained ground in the pet bloggers' circle and became a hit, the quick rise wasn't without turbulence.

Even though some videos performed well and fans' comments were positive, there's always strife where there are people. He faced jealousy and even insults behind the scenes.

Earlier, when his videos weren't popular, there's hardly any criticisms, but now that he's well-known, some seemed displeased with him.

Several bloggers even accused his videos of being vulgar for associating the dog with thigh-high stockings. Were viewers watching the dog, or the stockings, they said he was borderline inappropriate.

Some even claimed Da Huang's dog face involved inappropriate content. Isn't that ridiculous? Da Huang is a Golden Retriever, yellow everywhere. If not yellow, it wouldn't be a Golden Retriever!

In short, when there's jealousy, nitpicking happens for the sake of nitpicking. Although he ignored it, it doesn't mean he wasn't aware.

But once linked with the authorities, it's another story. No one would dare claim Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau is involved in such content.

With that in mind, he drafted several filming ideas in two hours.

"No, no, I'm a police officer, and you want me to be involved in that?" Zhu Lili repeatedly refused.

Su Qing: ...

"What inappropriate content, this is the secret to going viral, ah, pff... this is just normal filming. I want you and Da Huang to make a transformation video. Look, I even got Da Huang's gear!" Su Qing pointed to Da Huang, who was wearing a police dog outfit.

Transformation videos are trending nowadays, simple to shoot, with good results; perfect for the first attention-grabbing video.

Since they planned to shoot, they must prepare adequately. That whole afternoon, Su Qing's mind didn't stop working.

As for Da Huang's outfit, he borrowed it from Fu Qi through Li Zijun. Although police uniforms are hard to come by, those labeled with police dog designs were accessible.

Even if he couldn't borrow one, he could buy a similar one online. But Fu Qi generously gave him a set; of course, not the riot gear, just a regular outfit with 'police dog' printed on it, which was satisfying for him since appearances matter.

Right now, Da Huang was standing beside him with a serious demeanor, convinced that it too was a dog officer.

"No way, absolutely not. I won't wear thigh-high stockings!" Zhu Lili shook her head repeatedly. If it were her personal account, perhaps, but this was the official account. What if the leaders saw her in those stockings? Where would she put her face?

"Didn't you say there were no boundaries?" Su Qing asked, feeling the woman was a bit dishonest.

Zhu Lili stomped her feet: "No boundaries, but there must be a baseline. This is the official account!"

"True, but with your figure and looks, without the stockings, the contrast isn't big enough?" Su Qing pondered, rubbing his chin.

The essence of transformation videos is the dramatic change. Sexy lady in thigh-high stockings, turning into a capable policewoman the next second. With Da Huang's popularity and the official video's nature, it would surely go viral. But as a conscientious police officer, Zhu Lili steadfastly proposed an alternative.

"Why not let Sister Zijun take over? She's beautiful, even without stockings, she's stunning." Clearly, Zhu Lili knew the secret to going viral, albeit not as extensively, but enough.

"Great idea, you tell her!" Su Qing suggested.

Just kidding, doesn't he know Li Zijun is the most attractive one in the precinct? But he wouldn't dare to approach her!

"No problem, just wait here, I'll go find Captain Lin, hehe!"

Once he agreed, Zhu Lili happily skipped over to the building in front, found Lin Chengcai, and informed him that they had set up the official account and were ready to release the first video, hoping Li Zijun could help with the filming.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengcai, although a bit puzzled, agreed, since this task was assigned from above, and they were told to cooperate. Besides, there weren't any major cases these days, and Li Zijun wasn't busy. There were plenty of people to interrogate suspects, but making a video was genuinely a challenge for this group.

Soon enough, Li Zijun appeared in front of Su Qing with a reluctant expression, glaring as she asked, "What do you want, and what do you need me to do?"

Su Qing and Li Zijun exchanged a glance: "Ahem, Sister Jun, you have black...oops, could you change into casual wear, like shorts or a skirt or something?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Zijun's face visibly darkened, looking as if she was about to explode. If Su Qing hadn't mentioned Lin Chengcai, he would definitely be in for a beating on his first day of work.

Due to pressure from her mentor, Li Zijun compromised. Although shorts or skirts were out of the question, jeans, a white T-shirt, and sneakers sufficed.

With Zhu Lili's help, they fixed her hair into a youthful, sunny girl style.

By the end of the afternoon, Su Qing finally managed to wrap up most of the filming. Of course, post-production was still necessary, but he was excited about it, especially since the police station was full of talent in this area, sparing him the headache.

However, he still planned to edit a version in his own style.

Before leaving work, Lin Chengcai called him to the office.

"So, Little Su, how was your first day at work? Getting used to it?" Lin Chengcai asked kindly.

[One of the "Double Tricksters" in Criminal Investigation, Lin Chengcai seems like he cares, but he's already plotting how to work you like a mule.]

Listening to the narration in his mind, Su Qing could only sigh inwardly, realizing that his carefree days might be numbered.

"It's okay, thanks, Uncle Lin, for taking care of me!" Su Qing replied with a smile.

Lin Chengcai: "Hey, from now on, we're colleagues, you should call me Captain Lin!"

Su Qing: ...

Well then, this official tone came on quick. Before I came, you let me call you Uncle Lin; now it's Captain Lin. Even a master of disguise doesn't change face as quickly as you do!

"Understood, Captain Lin!"

"Woof woof!" [I'm a cop now too, what's your rank? Want to be my underling?]

Ever since donning the police K9 uniform, Yellow was strutting around, proud and puffing out his chest, often showing off in front of other officers.

Yet, it didn't understand the ranks among police officers, always feeling superior.

"Yeah, clothes maketh the man, and a saddle makes the horse look good. Yellow looks quite the part now; you can take him for a walk at the narcotics department when there's nothing going on. Train this dog well, and he might secure a permanent position here someday," Lin Chengcai said with a laugh, glancing at Yellow.

As a drug-sniffing dog or an anti-riot dog, Yellow might not make the cut due to breed restrictions, but as a search and rescue dog, with the right training, it wasn't out of the question. After all, a dog's sense of smell is sharp.

"Get the account up and running quickly. There'll be other tasks for you afterward. Do a good job, and getting a permanent position shouldn't be a problem. Alright, head home now!"

After some meaningful reminders, Lin Chengcai let him leave for the day. He couldn't possibly draft him into the criminal investigation department on his first day; that would be too obvious.

Besides, the account promotion needed Su Qing, and Lin Chengcai himself had to give him time to adjust gradually; it had to be step by step.

Due to the distance, by the time he returned home with Yellow, Shen Yi had already been nesting on the sofa for quite a while.

"Officer Su is back! How was your first day at work?"

"Not bad!" Su Qing chuckled as he reflected on the day's activities.

At that moment, Yellow charged in and barked twice at Shen Yi on the sofa.

"Woof woof!" [Girl, you're quite intriguing, successfully catching my attention.]

Although it said this, it was actually flaunting its police uniform.

"Oh, Yellow's a police dog now?" Shen Yi asked, eyes wide with surprise.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing promptly kicked the 'police dog' aside: "Ignore him. Now I get why people like having a steady job; its tail is practically wagging up to the sky."

Kicked aside, Yellow barked furiously at him:

"Woof woof woof woof woof" [Kid, you've successfully angered me. This is assaulting an officer. Are you ready to face the consequences?]

Su Qing widened his eyes in response, shaking his fist with a cold smile: "Are you sure you can handle the consequences of angering me?"

Yellow: "Woof woof woof" [I don't think I'll meet my end here! I've never felt so refreshed, today I, Yellow, shall be unfettered, Profound Ice Dog Soaring.]

Su Qing: ...
