Promoted beyond the normal ranks

  Back in her room, Yun Shu directly threw the luggage bag to the side of the bed. Her room was simply decorated with a dark gray tone as the main color. There was a large bed, and on the left side of the bed stood a row of tall, same-colored wardrobes. On the right side was a large floor-to-ceiling window, and under the dark gray curtains sat a potted evergreen plant. Opposite the bed was a dresser, which was very tidy and had a rather neutral decor.

  He opened his luggage bag neatly and took out the things inside, a set of black clothes folded very neatly, a ultra-thin laptop computer, a wallet, that's all.

  After putting everything away, she took out a set of pajamas from the closet, had a comfortable bath, and then went straight to bed.

  Knowing that she had been tired for several days, Xia Lingwei did not go to disturb her, quietly tidying up the things, closing the door and the lights, and then returned to her room.

  Night, gradually deepened, the night sky outside is magnificent and enchanting, and time slowly slipped away. The dawn will always replace the lonely darkness of the night, day and night alternate, a natural phenomenon.

  Yun Shu woke up the next day to find it was already past three in the afternoon. Xia Lingwei had gone out, but she had left him a meal on the table. Although Xia Lingwei came from the countryside, her cooking skills were not particularly good.

  This house was bought by Yun Shu for herself, because she used to work outside and thought the house would be idle anyway. Coincidentally, Xia Lingwei also worked in this city and it was close to her workplace, so she simply let her move in. With someone around, the house wouldn't feel too deserted. And every now and then, Yun Shu would come back to stay for a few days.

  After a simple lunch that was no longer considered lunch, Yunsu took a book and lay down in the rattan chair on the balcony to read. The books she read were mostly about criminal psychology. This house had three bedrooms and two living rooms, excluding the kitchen, so the balcony was quite wide. Whenever Yunshu had nothing to do, she would lie down in the rattan chair on the balcony to read a book or enjoy the view. The view here was very good, with a large lake below the balcony filled with lotus flowers and layers of green waves. There seemed to be a faint scent of lotus flowers wafting up, which refreshed her spirit greatly.

  "I knew you weren't in the study, so I figured you'd be here. How are you? Did you sleep well?" Just as Yun Shu was absorbed in thought, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside him - Xia Lingwei's soft tone.

  "Hmm, what's for dinner tonight?" Yun Shu asked while flipping through a book, her focused eyes never leaving the pages.

  Xia Lingwei shifted her pace slightly and stood beside Yun Shu, leaning against the window with her hands clasped around her chest. "You've read this book so many times, aren't you tired of it yet?"

  "Reviewing the old to know the new." Yun Shu replied lightly.

  "Wow! You're still so skilled at cooking, I don't understand how you do it. Let's have a big feast for dinner tonight, I haven't had your cooking in ages. It's really hard to believe that someone like you, a rich young lady, would be so interested in cooking and actually be so good at it too! I'm impressed!" Xia Lingwei praised generously.

  "I'm interested in cooking because it doesn't waste time, and I can taste the various delicious foods I make myself. It's a very enjoyable thing, and also a very practical thing." Yun Shu slowly closed the book in her hand, took a few sips of water from the low table beside her, and then looked up to gaze at the elegant white-robed woman standing by the window.

  Xia Lingwei shrugged her shoulders, her voice still as gentle as water, "Really a stubborn person, I guess for a girl like you, it's either horseback riding or playing table tennis!"

  Yun Shu took a deep breath, "There's no time for that, I still have to report to the bureau the day after tomorrow. I'll rest well today and go back home tomorrow. When I come back, I won't be able to see him again, he'll probably have another reason to get rid of me."

  "Of course, I should go back home and take a look. I also miss going home, but now it's impossible to leave, it's always been so busy. Big cities have their downsides too, there are especially many crime cases, I haven't gone back in over a year." Xia Lingwei also sighed, and soon her eyes flashed, "What did you just say? Going to the bureau to report? The headquarters?"

  Yun Shu nodded and took another sip of water.

  The Public Security Bureau of Jin City has seven branches, with two relatively independent large county towns in the east, west, south, north and outside, totaling several thousand police officers, accounting for nearly half of the staff of A city's civil servants. Such a huge number is enough to illustrate the important position of A city as a super prosperous metropolis.

  "Are you saying that, unexpectedly, you were directly appointed as the deputy director?" Xia Lingwei was somewhat unbelievable, after all, a deputy director at such a young age was a bit hard to accept. However, thinking about it again, it seemed that there was nothing impossible about it. Setting aside her family's abilities, just based on her own merits, she was also qualified for the position!

  "Uh, this time I'm back to take over the affairs of the A City North District Public Security Bureau, and I'll be in charge of criminal investigation as a deputy director. It's an unexpected promotion from above, but I don't know what's going on. I'll go see Director Chen at headquarters the day after tomorrow and then I'll understand." Yun Shu spoke calmly, as if it was no big deal, but actually she had some idea in her mind that it might have something to do with her father and brother. She guessed that now everyone in the bureau is probably making a fuss about it, because nothing can be kept secret these days, especially when it comes to personnel matters. Many people will probably speculate how she got this position."

  "It's okay, anyway I think you have the ability. Although the jurisdiction of Chengbei District is not as large as the other three districts in this city, it is still a prosperous area and there are many things to do. Congratulations, you have become the youngest deputy director in this city! Maybe after working for a few more years, you can take over Chen's position!" Xia Lingwei said sincerely.

  Yun Shu shook her head, "I'd rather be a secret police or even a traffic cop. It's cold at the top and you can't afford to offend anyone, otherwise you'll be in trouble both inside and out. I regret not listening to my father's advice and choosing this career."

  "Alright, be content! You've done even harder things before, what's there to worry about? The sky is getting dark, hurry up and cook dinner, I'll help you with it. It's been a long time since we had a good meal, tonight we can finally eat our fill!" Xia Lingwei smiled.

  Yun Shu slowly got up from the wicker chair and stood up leisurely.

  "Satisfy you." A faint sentence fell, and the person had already flashed into the door. Xia Lingwei's gentle low laugh sounded, and she quickly followed up.
