The next day, Luo Fei’s belongings were moved to the Third Squad, assisted by members of the First Group.
Then the news about Wang Dong, the captain of the Third Squad, resigning and Luo Fei temporarily taking over the position spread throughout the detective team.
"Yang Mei, didn’t I say Luo Fei is a rising star? Look, he didn’t let me down. How long has it been since he graduated and joined our detective team? He’s already getting promoted to Squad Captain, this speed is faster than a rocket! Plus, I’ve checked, Luo Fei doesn’t have a girlfriend, his personal life is very clean, he doesn’t go to those messy places. Yang Mei, if you’re interested in Luo Fei, you should make a move quickly. Otherwise, I think if you wait any longer, you might miss the chance," Wu Xiaoyue urged Yang Mei to pursue Luo Fei upon hearing he became Squad Captain of the Third Squad.
Yang Mei glared at Wu Xiaoyue, "Who said I’m interested in him? Stop talking nonsense, or I’ll beat you up. Besides, isn’t it the boys who should take the initiative? How do you know he doesn’t have a girlfriend?"
Wu Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Yang Mei, with a contemptuous look, "I asked Xia Zheng and Wang Lei, they said Luo Fei doesn’t have a girlfriend and his daily routine is extremely disciplined, he doesn’t mess around."
"He’s absolutely a good homemaker, Yang Mei. As for the boy chasing girl idea, that’s such an outdated mindset! Nowadays, it’s all about girls pursuing boys. In today’s society, excellent guys are as rare and precious as pandas, so you need to take the initiative, strike hard, use your charm and beauty to win him over. Trust me, Yang Mei, you and Luo Fei are a match made in heaven, destined for each other."
Wu Xiaoyue continued rambling on, while Yang Mei stared at her, then suspiciously asked, "Xiaoyue, be honest with me, what’s your aim?"
Wu Xiaoyue froze, and then asked puzzled, "What aim? What’s that about, Yang Mei?"
"You’re too eager, overly eager?" Yang Mei said.
"Am I? I’m just worried that such a big beauty like you, Yang Mei, still doesn’t have a boyfriend. You suspect me, I’m really hurt," Wu Xiaoyue appeared to be quite aggrieved.
"Really?" Yang Mei still looked at Wu Xiaoyue with suspicion.
"Absolutely true." Wu Xiaoyue raised her hand in oath, while inside her mind, she thought of Zhao Donglai talking to her.
"Xiaoyue, you’re Yang Mei’s best friend, Yang Mei hasn’t had a boyfriend until now, her parents are quite worried about her. If you have good friends around you, can you introduce one to Yang Mei?"
"Captain Zhao, I don’t have a boyfriend myself, if I had one around me, I’d have been off the market already."
"We have many excellent guys in the detective team. For example, I think Luo Fei is quite good, isn’t he?"
Zhao Donglai made it so obvious, just short of saying Luo Fei is great, he’s a good match for Yang Mei, suitable for her, why don’t you try pairing them up? If Wu Xiaoyue didn’t catch on, she’d be really foolish.
So, Wu Xiaoyue nodded like a pecking chick, "I get it, I get it, I get it."
"I’m Luo Fei. I’ll be with the Third Group from now on, hoping for pleasant cooperation with everyone both in work and life." Luo Fei didn’t give a lengthy speech, just simply introduced himself.
In fact, everyone knew each other, just not that familiar beforehand.
On the first day at the Third Group office, there wasn’t much to do, Luo Fei followed Wang Dong to familiarize himself with the work positions. The group has to submit a monthly work situation report and report to Captain Zhao weekly.
In the following days, there were no major incidents in the detective team, and Luo Fei’s main task was to get familiar with his position under Wang Dong’s guidance.
With the Spring Festival approaching, the entire Ningjiang County started to hustle and bustle, not only more people were around, but also festive red couplets were seen everywhere on the streets.
On January 25th, Wang Dong resigned and the appointment was announced by the county organization department, with Luo Fei taking over as the acting captain of the Third Squad.
On January 27th, just a day before New Year’s Eve, Ningjiang Police Department held an annual summary and commendation conference.
Everyone involved in the police system in Ningjiang County participated.
At eight in the morning, Zhao Donglai led all detective team members except the ones on duty to the Public Security Bureau’s commendation conference, as this time the detective team was surely the main focus for commendation.
Several key leaders in Ningjiang County appeared at the commendation conference, including the head, Cheng Zhi.
Prior to the commendation, the Director of Ningjiang County Public Security Bureau, Wucheng, outlined and summarized this year’s work in Ningjiang County.
