My Life with Narration-Chapter 234 - 233: The Difference Between Working and Begging

Back then, Su Qing felt like he embodied every symptom of the young generation.

He had megalophobia, afraid of big fools; nyctalopia, afraid of old dimwits; trypophobia, afraid of people with too many hidden agendas; thalassophobia, afraid of deep-sea diseases; but the worst was his anorexia, afraid of empty promises.

Anyway, when Liu Hong brought in a few senior figures from the Public Security Bureau, he immediately felt uncomfortable all over.

To be specific, he felt nauseous, wanted to vomit, shivered, and was astounded.

Ever since he began narrating like this, almost no one could hide their thoughts in front of him, especially about him, whether good or bad, it's like mind-reading—he could even understand when the dog Big Yellow insulted him.

But today, he discovered another type of person.

Someone who wanted to express their ideas but wouldn't say it directly, and then there'd be someone insightful by their side to subtly hint at it.

Just like Liu Hong and Deputy Director Guo beside him.

Liu Hong only said that even if he was on a special appointment, he should be well-nurtured, and that Deputy Director Guo understood Liu Hong's intention, instructing Old Lin to find two people to teach him.

But what to teach him, they didn't say, but from Old Lin's nodding expression, it seemed like he understood.

One has to admit, with that surname Guo, being just a deputy director seems like an underutilization of talent.

He naturally understood that Liu Hong felt that as a member of the police force, he should adhere to police etiquette and at least look the part of a cop.

Besides the two directors, the other three seemed like leaders from other departments crashing the event.

After all, their department had just cracked a major case, not only were they investigating it in Jiang City, but almost every precinct and sub-bureau knew about it; otherwise, so many police couldn't have been mobilized that day for the arrest.

The East City Public Security Bureau only has so many people, subdivided into multiple departments, and without collaborative efforts, a case like this would be extremely difficult to handle.

Seeing Su Qing, who didn't look the part of a cop at all, Liu Hong felt a bit embarrassed, leading to such a comment, which the deputy director accurately understood.

In response, Su Qing couldn't help but sigh, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and pigs, if it weren't for the narration, he would have thought the director genuinely appreciated him, maybe even felt a bit smug about it.

Afterwards, Director Liu started to discuss the case and shared his thoughts with leaders from the other departments, finally summing up ways to prevent similar malicious cases from happening again.

Of course, the process naturally involved praising their department, especially he and Du Qiang, who were directly involved, both were praised in front of their entire department.

Since Du Qiang was a genuine criminal investigator, solving major cases naturally came with corresponding rewards, possibly even commendations; the police department has its own system, whereas he only received verbal praise, and Old Lin was given the right to mobilize him anytime.

Simply put, even though there were no tangible rewards, he could now participate in every case in the Criminal Investigation Unit just like a real detective.

But, the police uniform he longed for was still not given to him, making Liu seem even more annoying to Su Qing. Oh come on, it's just a set of clothing, was it necessary to deny him that.

Once Director Liu and others left, Lin Chengcai arranged the follow-up arrangements, dispersed the crowd, leaving only Li Zijun and her mentor, Du Qiang, and him in the room.

"What's the matter Little Su, it seems like you're unhappy!" Lin Chengcai asked, sitting next to him.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing took a deep breath and replied weakly, "What's there to be happy about? No money, no awards, not even a set of clothes; I have no motivation to work!"

Hearing this, Lin Chengcai pointed at him, shaking his head with a smile, "You, you, you, you're such a bright person usually, how come you're acting foolish now!"

"You are a special appointment from society, given your job nature, technically speaking you don't belong to the police department. Even though the case was cracked because of you, according to the procedure there's really no way to officially credit you, but since Director Liu opened his mouth, saying that you need to be well nurtured, it indeed means they acknowledge you.

As long as you perform well, you could directly join our Criminal Investigation Unit, by then your position will be secure, and let alone a set of police uniform, even a police car could be yours!"

To this, Su Qing pouted, "I've had enough to eat, no more painting, please!"

Lin Chengcai: ???

"Master, he's saying you're drawing pie charts," Li Zijun beside him explained teasingly.

Since she found out last night that he actually had a job and was colleagues with her roommate, she planned to take the chance to tease him; such a big deal and she wasn't aware, he really kept his mouth shut! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Hey, you dare say I'm drawing, if you entered through the formal channel, this merit wouldn't slip away, you would've had a good chance to be credited," Lin Chengcai said, a bit frustrated by Su Qing's lack of understanding of his good intentions.

He was very positive about Su Qing, believing that if he focused, dedicating himself to a criminal investigator role, he would become an excellent detective in the future.

Just like this time, he fully demonstrated the abilities of an outstanding detective, whether it was case analysis, crisis perception, or excellent tracking skills.

To be honest, the way he entered carried some water, now it's at the drying phase.

In response, Su Qing flopped onto the table powerlessly, saying, "Forget it, I think the current situation is pretty good, not too busy, don't have to work every day, forget about working for money, it's never going to happen in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun immediately got angry, "Really? If you're not working, how come you are colleagues with my roommate Sun Mumu; you've been hiding it well!"

"That social maniac is your roommate?" Su Qing was briefly stunned and questioned.

In response, Li Zijun snorted, "What social maniac, I also heard your company's boss is called Shen Yi, isn't she the woman who appeared in your house last time!"

Her keen perception quickly allowed her to deduce the situation's background.

At this point, Su Qing also realized, the social maniac had mentioned more than once she had a policewoman roommate, he didn't pay heed to it, policewomen aren't numerous, but Jiang City is so large, it wouldn't be such a coincidence—but it did.

"Haha~ It's not entirely the case, I'm just broadening my horizons, can't stay locked up at home all day," seeing there's no hiding it, Su Qing could only tell the truth.

Seeing he's still stubborn, Li Zijun grabbed his ear, lifting him up, saying, "I see you're more interested in the woman than the job, haven't you heard of the saying 'the word lust is like a knife over your head'—that woman's story isn't simple, what experience do you have, what experience does she have, want to be a kept man?"

"Nonsense, I rely on my skills to make a living!" Su Qing broke free, retorting.

To this, Li Zijun playfully inquired again, "If you rely on your skills to make money, what're you doing having a job, didn't you say, working is something you'd never do in this lifetime."

"They hired Big Yellow, not me, Big Yellow went to be a model, I just went as his poop-scooper, I'm not working, as far as I'm concerned, working and begging are no different!" Su Qing retorted righteously.

Hearing this, Lin Chengcai shook his head and said, "What kind of words are those, begging is asking for food, working is making money with your abilities, why does it sound like working is begging from your mouth!"

Hearing this, Su Qing coldly sneered, "Is there really a difference?

Begging: Hey, have a heart.

Working: Hey, yes, yes, ok!"

Everyone:...
