Mu Chenyan stated with deep sincerity. It was no easy task for those who could persist in their dreams!
“One of you is in the military while the other is in the civil field, are using your own methods to preserve peace and justice. This is something extremely meaningful.”
What Wu Ze was hearing from her was exactly what he himself was thinking.
Even a restrained man like Wu Ze could not help but feel warmth in his heart to be able to have the woman whom he liked understand him.
“Why did you bring up Wu Huai? Do you need him to help you with something?” Wu Ze questioned closely.
Mu Chenyan explained, “The favor I’m asking from you this time is related to Wu Huai.
“In order to highlight the fairness and justice of the law alongside its regulations, and to promote the efficiency of the forensics system, the central government has planned to conduct a pilot project in Luohai last year to set up a news inspectorate to track and report the process of solving criminal cases. Were you aware of this?”
Mu Chenyan had gathered lots of information from the Internet and from her old classmates and friends, hence she had come prepared.
Wu Ze, of course, was aware of this matter. This was the first official collaboration between the judiciary and the press, but things did not go as planned.
“Yes, but the decision on this news inspectorate has not yet been finalized yet. The main reason was that the police was not very cooperative, and they were unwilling to let external parties enter their backroom to keep track of them and report their progress. Hence, the project came to a standstill.” Wu Ze replied.
Mu Chenyan nodded and smiled faintly. “Actually, the main issue was that Brother Wu Huai thwarted their progress greatly…
Hearing this, a smile emerged at the corners of Wu Ze’s lips, and he nodded in agreement. “Indeed. His temper is really bad, and he’s extremely stubborn. When it comes to his image, it’s very difficult to have him cooperate, hence the project was unable to proceed.”
Mu Chenyan immediately knew that she had found the right person.
“This time, I’m asking you to help me. I’d like to be an intern reporter in the inspectorate. You know that I studied journalism and that I’ve also interned in the BBC when I was in England…”
Mu Chenyan became excited as she spoke, her bright eyes full of anticipation!
Wu Ze looked at Mu Chenyan. He could not comprehend why she would think of working all of a sudden. After all, being a reporter was a tough gig.
“What are you planning to want to work in that investigative journalism unit?” Wu Ze asked.
“That department is currently recruiting volunteer journalists. Since it’s a pilot project, the wages are not high, and there are not many people competing for a spot. More importantly, I’ve got to pass the checkpoint that is Brother Wu Huai. If he doesn’t agree, this won’t work…
“Brother Wu Huai’s an upright person. His unwillingness to accept this department intrusion is unreasonable as well. After all, the people also want to learn of the progress and investigation of major cases.”
Mu Chenyan was being very cautious as she said this. She was afraid of saying the wrong thing, like painting Wu Huai as a bad guy who was beyond redemption…
Finally, Wu Ze understood Mu Chenyan. She wanted to work there, and clearly knew that if Wu Huai obstructed her plans, the whole department would quickly reach a standstill, and her plans would fail. Hence, she needed to talk to Wu Huai in advance!
“Chenyan, how come you suddenly thought of working, particularly in this department?”
Wu Ze felt that things might not be as simple as he’d like to have imagined. If she merely wanted to get a job, it would be a breeze to help her with Yuan Xuan’s connections.
Mu Chenyan was clearly hesitant. Her plain face was overly indifferent, and there were even traces of exhaustion in her eyes.
After a while, Mu Chenyan slowly said, “I’d like to come into contact with society through this channel. I can’t be stuck doing nothing my whole life and simply rot away in the Yuan Family Mansion…”
She was downcast as she spoke. “Without the support of the Mu Family, it’s not easy to be independent in society. I can only utilize what I’ve learned to gain a foothold for now. What more, this job will enable me to make connections with the police. If possible, I’d like to use them to eventually find my brother, Mu Chenwu, as well.”
