Chapter 297: Chapter 271: Benevolent?
Fifteen minutes later, the door of Lu Ming’s office opened, and two somewhat unfamiliar faces emerged. Despite their unfamiliarity, their dress and demeanor were extraordinary. Curiously, both of them paused for a moment when they saw Ji Sang.
Lu Ming waved to Ji Sang as soon as he saw her.
Beside them, Zhang Quan was already nervous to the point of restlessness, yet Ji Sang stood up calmly and walked over.
Lu Ming smiled and introduced her to the two leaders.
“Director Lu, this is Ji Sang, whom I just mentioned to you.”
Ji Sang’s brows twitched slightly, feeling as though she had heard this surname before, and it was associated with someone of a Director’s rank.
Lu Ming gently patted Ji Sang on the shoulder.
“Ji, go ahead and greet Director Lu.”
Ji Sang then pulled her thoughts back and nodded slightly toward Director Lu.
“Director Lu, hello.”
Director Lu was probably in his forties, a good half head shorter than Lu Ming, but he had a straight posture, neatly combed hair, and wore a deep gray suit, lending him an air of seriousness yet with a hint of kindness in his eyes.
Ji Sang retracted her gaze, not wanting to offend the Director, but inside she was processing this unusual feeling.
She constantly felt that there was an evaluative and somewhat benevolent smile in Director Lu’s eyes as he looked at her.
It made sense for him to evaluate her, but why would she see such kindness from someone she’s meeting for the first time?
Without waiting for Lu Ming, Director Lu took the initiative to shake hands and introduce himself.
Ji Sang quickly extended both hands, lightly gripping the front of Director Lu’s palm, and after a few seconds, both let go very politely.
Lu Cheng seemed quite interested in having a chat with Ji Sang and suggested they sit at a nearby coffee shop.
So the three of them found themselves sitting in a cafe near the TV station building.
Lu Ming first gave a brief introduction of the collaboration with the city government. That’s when Ji Sang realized that the job originally assigned to Mr. Tan was to handle the full recording of a press conference.
Director Lu’s visit today was just along the way, and Zhang Quan’s mention of an inspection was merely incidental.
The main point was that it seemed he came by because Ji Sang had taken over as the person in charge.
Ji Sang took a sip of tea, suppressing her inner doubts.
During the following conversation, Ji Sang understood why it was possible for a last-minute change of personnel at this press conference.
The press conference was about a recent spate of serial rapes and murders that had caused widespread alarm in the city, and Lu Cheng was the head of the Police Department.
Knowing Ji Sang’s interest in social issues, Lu Ming was not surprised to see no confusion on her face but instead an ability to join in their discussion.
“Weren’t you on vacation a short while ago?”
How did he get such timely news?
Ji Sang merely smiled, not saying a word.
However, upon hearing Lu Ming ask this, Director Lu picked up his teacup and took a sip.
As if casually, he asked a question.
“I heard that Jiangshui Police Station had requested the assistance of a very capable forensic expert, who made significant contributions to the case.”
Lu Ming’s brow furrowed as he thought for a moment.
“I seem to have heard about it, it seems that they requested a doctor from City First Hospital.”
Speaking of City First Hospital, Lu Ming naturally thought of the previous collaboration between the TV station and the hospital, which brought to mind Fu Yisi.
Suddenly Fu Yisi looked towards Ji Sang.
He knew that Fu Yisi and Ji Sang were together.
“Could it be that Dr. Fu is the one assisting Jiangshui Police Station?”
When he said this, Lu Ming looked directly at Ji Sang.
