The next day at work, after tidying up, Bai Li Qing drove Su Yue to the Ministry of Public Security.
“Did Chen Zi Ming talk to you privately?” Bai Li Qing asked casually while driving.
“Huh? Talk… about what?” Su Yue, who had been lost in thought, trembled slightly at the question.
“Who is the person in charge of the security activity, how old are they, and what’s their personality like?”
Su Yue was silent for a moment before quietly replying, “No.”
“This kid is quite cautious,” Bai Li Qing chuckled, but didn’t press further.
Instead, she began discussing the meeting with Su Yue.
As the car pulled up to the main gate of the Ministry of Public Security, Su Yue suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
Two years ago, she was still an intern at a police station, and Bai Li Qing was just a university student.
It was easy to find him.
There was no heavily guarded gate, no imposing, majestic building, and no security guards who would question you, inspect you, and make you sign registration forms.
The closer she got to the office building, the more her heart sank.
She couldn’t help but grip the hem of her clothes.
Silently praying that she wouldn’t see him.
The Publicity Bureau’s First Publicity Office.
They were received by a middle-aged female police officer named Mu, who introduced herself as the director of the Publicity Office and the liaison for this interview.
Director Mu led them to the scheduled office and then called in two young cadres from the Publicity Office, a man and a woman, who would be responsible for the specific affairs of this publicity.
After everyone had introduced themselves, Director Mu smiled politely and said, “The specific publicity objectives are still being finalized. We invited the two of you here today mainly to determine the interview process first.”
As she said this, she looked at the two cadres and asked, “Has Director Chen arrived yet?”
The female cadre quickly and enthusiastically replied, “Almost! I was just told he’s already in the elevator!”
Director Chen.
Su Yue, who was drinking water, froze instantly.
Which Director Chen?
Director Chen What?
No way, no way.
It couldn’t be Chen…
A knock sounded at the door, neither rushed nor slow, neither too loud nor too soft.
“It must be Director Chen!” The female cadre quickly stood up to open the door.
The moment the person entered, Su Yue was completely stunned.
Her heart pounded uncontrollably, almost leaping out of her throat, so powerfully that it felt suffocating.
The man in the police uniform was tall and upright. A closer look revealed some changes to his epaulets compared to before.
His appearance was a bit more mature and calmer than two years ago, but looking at him for a longer time would evoke immense pressure and nervousness.
Still as handsome as ever.
But with a hint of distance.
“It’s you, Officer Chen~” Bai Li Qing was also surprised to see Chen Zi Ming, but quickly smiled.
Her voice rose slightly at the end as she called his name.
She then immediately looked at Su Yue.
Only to find her frozen.
“Yueyue.” Bai Li Qing was a little confused and nudged her.
“Oh, cough, cough, Teacher Bai Li.” Su Yue snapped back to attention, coughed from being choked by the water, and quickly lowered her eyes.
Afraid to look at him.
“Hello, Reporter Bai Li.” A clear, cold voice sounded.
In her peripheral vision, Su Yue could see him taking a seat opposite her.
What a damned coincidence.
She remembered three years ago, when she decided to try and win him over, she had made plans to seduce him, just like now.
And he had appeared ahead of time, just like this.
Catching her completely off guard.
“You know each other?” Director Mu asked with some surprise.
“Yes, we do.” Bai Li Qing, sensing Su Yue’s reaction, felt a pang of doubt. Hearing Director Mu’s question, she quickly replied with a smile.
“That’s wonderful,” Director Mu was clearly pleased. “It’s easier to communicate when you know each other. Director Chen is the specific person in charge of this security activity, and the interview content needs to be planned according to his schedule.”
“Okay, got it.” Bai Li Qing replied again. Seeing Su Yue still with her eyes downcast, she glanced at Chen Zi Ming opposite them, puzzled.
He was staring coldly at the girl opposite him.
Had they argued?
It was at this moment that Su Yue realized she couldn’t continue like this; it was too impolite.
Not to mention she was representing the radio station today.
If they met beforehand, so be it.
Nothing to be afraid of.
Taking a silent, deep breath, she flashed a sweet smile and finally raised her eyes to look at the man opposite her.
“Hello, Director Chen.”
She greeted him quite politely.
