Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Mind Your Own Business About the Section Chief_1

On this day, Song Lan became the first section chief in the history of the Law Enforcers of District 17 to head two departments.

The news spread quickly among the various departments. As soon as he returned to the Psychological Consultation Department, the department resounded with enthusiastic applause, with Zhuang Chi being the most vigorous clapper.

"Why are you here again? The automatic hamburger vending machine is broken, it won’t be fixed anytime soon."

"Am I that kind of person?"

Zhuang Chi’s "radar" was wobbling on top of her head, a sign of her excitement, "Given our friendship, of course I’m celebrating your promotion to head of the Propaganda Department."

When he heard that he had become the head of the Propaganda Department, Song Lan was filled with grief.

This was nothing like he had imagined. The Propaganda Department had long been merged into the Statistics Department, so logically the propaganda work should have been handled by the Statistics Department. He could not have imagined that this task would end up on him in such an unexpected manner.

Indeed, expressing views in public was a fairly risky behavior.

"Congratulations are over, it’s time to get to work."

Song Lan sat behind his desk, wanting nothing more than peace and quiet.

"Received!"

The three people nodded, each returning to their seats.

"Wait a moment, aren’t you an employee of the Statistics Department?"

"Precisely speaking, I am a former Statistics Department employee, now a member of the Propaganda Department."

Zhuang Chi was delighted. In fact, when the Psychological Consultation Department was first established, she had expressed a strong desire to transfer to this new department. However, her request was rejected as the Psychological Consultation Department did not need that many staff. She had not expected that she would have a chance to resurface one day.

To facilitate the work of the Propaganda Department, the Department Head decided to assign Song Lan a capable assistant.

Many people in the Statistics Department showed great interest, but in the end, she outsmarted everyone and won this hard-earned spot.

Zhuang Chi felt that the saying "opportunity always favors the well-prepared" was true.

For this spot, she had carefully prepared a network virus called "Little Dove", which could spread back and forth across the network like a homing pigeon, intelligently tracking the computer at the Department Head’s home and stealing data from it, including browsing history, which was not exempted even if incognito browsing was used.

This virus was created by a hacker who had been arrested and sentenced to 30 years in prison for endangering public safety, cyber security, and crimes against humanity.

Zhuang Chi had a hunch that this virus might be useful in the future, so as a staff member of the Statistics Department, she secretly backed up the virus.

When she asked the department head out of apparent curiosity about what kind of websites he usually browses at home, he immediately assigned the spot to her.

"From today on, I am a member of the Department. Let’s work together for the future of the Law Enforcers!"

"Get to work!"

Song Lan stood up abruptly.

Knowing Zhuang Chi, he was sure she didn’t transfer to their department for the sake of the future of the Law Enforcers, instead, she instigated all this to satisfy her own appetite.

However, who on earth can enjoy freebies?

"The first and most important job is to cover the story of the ’Public-spirited Citizen’."

The first issue of the ’Law Enforcement Handbook’ is particularly important. Nothing can attract the attention of the citizens of District 17 more than the topic of the "Public-spirited Citizen". The long-term collaborative relationship between the Public-spirited Citizen and the Law Enforcers is definitely exclusive news. Presenting it better to the citizens is the problem they need to solve presently.

Song Lan wasn’t very good at writing and drawing. Just thinking about the thousands of words for this article gave him a headache.

"Roger, Valerian, how’s your research on the ’Public-spirited Citizen’ coming along?"

"It’s almost done."

Roger said, "After you left that day, the mayor of Lyon City told us a lot about the ’Public-spirited Citizen’. We’ve already created a rough image of him."

Valerian then took out a tablet and showed Song Lan the portrait she had created based on the mayor’s description.

For the former Crime Analysis Department employees, this was part of their professional skills. After her face-to-face meeting with Pero, she was determined that the Psychological Consultation Department was where she truly wanted to be.

The portrait on the tablet was almost identical to the image of Song Lan that night.

"If we’re going to write a profile, this is not enough. We’ll need to link together all the cases that the ’Public-spirited Citizen’ was involved in, starting from the tip-off letter of the Old Man Printing Factory. Valerian, you should go to the Crime Analysis Department to look for some related files; Roger, you are responsible for layout, illustration, and solving professional issues; Zhuang Chi, are you capable of writing the article?"

"Yes, I’ve written some science popularization articles on prosthetic implantation before."

"Then, let’s get to work."

Zhuang Chi was surprised by the atmosphere in the office. After Song Lan assigned their tasks, Valerian and Roger immediately got to work without hesitation, contrasting sharply with the usually relaxed atmosphere of the department.

Valerian left for the Crime Analysis Department with her tablet.

Roger went back to his desk and started to organize all the information they had gathered so far about the ’Public-spirited Citizen’.

Song Lan put on his headphones and opened the video player...

Huh?

Wasn’t that the movie that was popular for a long time a while ago?

"Chief..."

Zhuang Chi couldn’t help but voice the doubt in her heart, "What’s your job assignment?"

"None of your business what the chief does."

After replying, Song Lan got absorbed in his movie appreciation.

As they say, work and rest should go hand in hand. He had taken on pressure beyond his years today. First, there was the crisis of having the entire department’s budget cut in half, then he became the head of two departments, and he also had to complete the first issue of the ’Law Enforcement Handbook’ quickly. He had indeed had a hard day.

He had to reward himself by watching two movies back-to-back.

Besides, he had put forth the greatest effort in this matter.

First of all, as the "Public-spirited Citizen" himself, just not demanding copyright fees and portrait right fees from the Law Enforcers was already a huge concession on his part. That was no small amount of money, and given the current financial situation of the Law Enforcers, they could not afford to pay him those fees.

So, rounding up, it could be seen as him investing a large sum in the Law Enforcers as the "Public-spirited Citizen", perhaps 5 million watts or more at least.

Having given that much, what’s wrong with taking a break?

"Chief."

Zhuang Chi spoke again, raising her hand, "Although we’ve gathered firsthand data on the ’Public-spirited Citizen’, communication between us has been scarce. Since we’re to talk about our long-term collaboration with the ’Public-spirited Citizen’, shouldn’t we arrange an interview with him? I think the general public must be eager to hear the ’Public-spirited Citizen’s’ real thoughts."

At her words, Song Lan had to pause his movie.

Zhuang Chi, comrade,

Why don’t you just ascend to heaven?
