Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 634 Quiz with Prizes
Since I was put in the dark room for the previous chapter, here's a brief recap:

Chen Shu led a crackdown on five-star hotels, which caused a minor stir in society, and people admired him as a police officer with backbone.

Thanks to the popularity of short videos, public opinion, including some public sentiment, saw a surge in response to the special police livestream.

Everyone was focused on the fact that Chen Shu had solved a major case.
After Chen Shu admitted his mistake, the two recalled several cases and operations they had successfully handled together while fighting on the front lines in recent years.

This laid the emotional foundation for the next major operation.

……

The main text of this chapter is as follows:

Special police, conference room.

"Officer Chen, live streaming is a must-have trend, a must-have! This thing will sweep through our social circles just like Weibo or WeChat Moments did back then!"

"Ah! Let the autumn wind blow even more fiercely!"

After finishing a day's work, photographer Xiao Zhao stood on a chair in the conference room, looking not tired at all. His short stature did not diminish his commanding presence, like a general who had conquered all sides.

Standing below, the 1.8-meter-tall Mr. Chen stretched out his arm, actively and voluntarily offering cigarettes to the man.

Even when Xiao Zhao, lost in his own self-admiration, waving his arms and exclaiming loudly, accidentally knocked something down, he didn't care at all.

Today, he got his wish and had a great time in the live stream, but the way he was being served so carefully still made Zhu Yiba, who was sitting next to him, laugh so hard.

"So you've finally met your match, kid? Young Master Chen, weren't you so arrogant?" Zhu Yiba, the master of mischief, showed no mercy to the other party, pointing his hands in a sarcastic tone.

"What do you know! This is the trend, the way it is!" Chen Chuan turned around and glared at Zhu Yiba, then carefully helped Xiao Zhao down from the chair.

Xiao Zhao finally lowered his head, put the cigarette Chen Chuan offered him into his mouth, and said, "Officer Chen, the current atmosphere is still too conservative. In four or five years, nobody will care about this. Live streaming has already become an industry, and it even has a diversified industrial chain that other industries can't match. It provides countless jobs for the country!"

Chen Chuan nodded in agreement, taking out a lighter from his pocket as he said seriously, "I can relate to that. Since this livestream started, the attractiveness of the nightclub girls has plummeted, and even in red envelope giveaways, the turnout is disappointing. So, Master Zhao, we still need to talk about the next livestream..."

The rise of the live streaming industry has now swept up all the girls in nightclubs.

All the qualified ones have gone to live streaming. Those who stick to their posts, besides the older ones, are a group of girls who can't even be saved by beauty filters. All those with even a little bit of marketability have raised their prices to an outrageous level.

For example, in today's special police live stream, many fans expressed their "respect" for the special police's orange-sweeping operation, and some even joined in by saying "the arts and sports scene must be properly regulated."
"This needs to be addressed! This current generation is all too old!"

"This must be rectified! The prices are outrageously high, disrupting the market pricing system!"

"This must be thoroughly rectified, cross-platform operations strictly prohibited, and customer experience improved! Individuals over 30 years of age are prohibited from engaging in this service!"

The affirmation of the police's 100-day campaign is self-evident.

As soon as Xiao Zhao heard Chen Chuan casually mention it, he knew that the other party was knowledgeable. He took out his phone, lit up the screen, and swiped a few times. All he saw were very pretty, youthful girls wiggling their hips.

He held a cigarette that hadn't been lit yet, looking smug: "Officer Chen, just like you said, the girls in nightclubs are either ugly or expensive. Look at this phone, pick whatever you want, and if you're not happy, just swipe it away, right?"

Zhu Yiba raised his neck and glanced at it, then said dismissively, "Tch, these are all borderline cases!"

Xiao Zhao looked up and stared directly at Zhu Yiba, tears welling in her eyes. She said with a pained expression, "They were twisting and turning so hard inside to please me, not cheating me out of money or anything. They were just trying to get a tiny like from me. What did they do wrong to deserve such malicious accusations from you?"

As she spoke, Xiao Zhao's eyes reddened, and her voice became slightly nasal: "How could I not know whether they were skirting the line or not? I was just a stranger to them. In reality, no woman would be willing to give me that, but they were. This isn't skirting the line; it's salvation."

The man's vulnerability was laid bare.

"Is he possessed by an evil spirit?" Zhu Yiba was stunned.

Chen Chuan glanced at Zhu Yiba, thinking: "Making a fuss over nothing." This Xiao Zhao looks like a young man who has just entered society. They rarely have the resources or money to date women, and Douyin is all they use for their spare time.

"Sigh, it's not easy being a man," Chen Chuan said, extending his lighter to comfort him. "Little Zhao, I know your difficulties. Tonight I'm at A_PARTY—no, I've booked a private room at Emerald—we'll drink and chat. We can discuss the next live stream then."

"Of course, if you don't like the old-fashioned feel of jade, then we can book a booth at Ollies Island. The environment there is nice, perfect for relaxing after working overtime. This place is newly opened, you probably haven't been there before, but to describe it in four words: a veritable paradise of pleasure! The women there are definitely as beautiful as those in your photos!"

Since they were all in the same industry, Xiao Zhao knew from Chen Chuan's words that he was a big shot. He immediately and gently pushed away the lighter Chen Chuan offered, took out his own lighter from his pocket, and lit it for him in a flattering manner.

"Brother Chuan, actually, we don't care much about looks when we go out to have fun these days. Think about it, once you put on makeup, dim the lights, and drink some alcohol, looks don't matter anymore."

Chen Chuan chuckled: "What you said makes some sense, but those of us who aren't good-looking can't bring ourselves to do it."

Xiao Zhao gestured with his hands, drawing an S-shape in the air, and said confidently, "Brother Chuan, it has to be the figure, plus attentive service, awesome! Now if you just want to look at pretty girls, it's simple, there are plenty online, and they're free! But if you want to actually touch them, they're too expensive, so we need to go to the real world."

Xiao Zhao spoke with such spittle flying everywhere, completely at ease.

Chen Chuan, as if he had met a kindred spirit, excitedly patted the other man on the shoulder: "Master Zhao, you're just my type! Come, come, let's sit down and chat. My idea for the next live stream is..."

"What Master Zhao? Just call me Little Zhao!"

The two of them, heads close together, started talking about these vulgar things.

"Humph!"

People with different values ​​cannot work together. Zhu Yiba felt that staying in this place for even a few more seconds would be an insult to his years of military service, so he left in anger and happened to run into Chen Shu and Zhang Yang as they entered.

"Haven't had dinner yet? Come on, let's go together, it's my treat today!" Chen Shu put his left hand on Zhu Yiba's shoulder and pointed with his right hand at Chen Chuan and Xiao Zhao, who were chatting enthusiastically inside the room.

Swish!
The three seemed to have forgotten their earlier argument. They looked at Zhang Yang standing behind them with great coordination, and then shook their heads in unison.

"Sorry, we've already eaten. You can go eat by yourselves."

Zhu Yiba, who was about to leave, made a 360-degree turn, pushed Chen Shu out the door, and then slammed the conference room door shut, not forgetting to lock it with a click.

Chen Shu was taken aback for a moment, then realized something and shrugged: "Let's go eat."

Zhang Yang seemed very happy and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

Worried about not having a place to park his car, Chen Shu borrowed Chen Chuan's Vespa scooter.

When he sat on the motorcycle and handed Zhang Yang the helmet, Zhang Yang took it without thinking, put it on his head, and then straddled Chen Shu, gently wrapping his arms around Chen Shu's strong waist.

hiss!
The electric shock sensation came too suddenly.

However, Chen Shu was still somewhat pleased.

For a fleeting moment, he felt that Zhang Yang seemed different after get off work, as if he had taken off a heavy mask.

As a professional female journalist, she has a sharp and determined eye, always paying attention to her surroundings, capturing every detail that may contain news, and quickly grasping the key points of an event.

She is quick-witted and calm, always able to ask insightful and profound questions; she is fluent and persuasive, able to communicate and interact effectively with all kinds of people.

In the program, she is good at listening and understanding, and can quickly build trust and empathy with the interviewees, help them organize their thoughts, simplify complex questions into easy-to-understand forms, and then present them to the audience in front of the screen.

She is intelligent, perceptive, and courageous. She insists on pursuing the truth and respecting the facts. Once she has made up her mind about something, there is no other choice but to do it and do it better.

She is a charismatic and influential businesswoman.

At this moment, Chen Shu felt that Zhang Yang had suddenly shed her aloof image as a local internet celebrity female reporter in Dongzhou and become an ordinary woman.

Yes, an ordinary woman who needs a man to rely on.

This stark contrast between strength and weakness puzzled Chen Shu, who wondered why this had happened. But to be honest, he quite liked the feeling.

Standing at a distance, he admired Zhang Yang's confidence and unique personal charm as a female reporter on stage; when they sat closer together, he genuinely enjoyed the respect she gave him and her innate reliance on men.

The two rode their little motorcycle out the door, and Chen Shu felt a strange warmth and peace of mind rising in his heart as he felt the woman gently wrapping her arms around his waist.

The two rode on the same motorcycle, one in front of the other. This unique feeling instantly brought Chen Shu back to the scene when they were fleeing in Myanmar and huddled together.

It's often said that a man should settle down before building a career. Chen Shu didn't understand this before, and even disagreed with it. How could he work overtime if he had a woman and children to take care of? But at this moment, he suddenly understood a little bit.

The night breeze was cool, and rows of streetlights lit up. As they drove past the small park next to A_PARTY, Zhang Yang noticed a group of scantily clad women loitering around under the streetlights and asked, "Are these the people who do that kind of work? Why aren't you arresting them?"

Chen Shu glanced at Zhang Yang and understood what he meant: "We don't care about these 'self-employed' individuals who only make money for themselves."

"why?"

"It's a complicated explanation, I'll tell you when we eat."

"OK."

Chen Shu suddenly felt a pang of pity and explained, "These aren't bad people, they might just be a little lazy. As long as they're trying to earn a living, we turn a blind eye. Especially these women, they're quite cheap and can bring some comfort to many people at the bottom of society who are exhausted after a long day's work."

Zhang Yang felt the topic was a bit heavy and not suitable for the atmosphere between the two of them at the moment.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then deliberately changed the subject, playfully asking, "Brother Shu, tell me, what kind of comfort can they bring?"

Chen Shu was taken aback. Why would such a cold and aloof reporter bring up this topic? It was quite unlike her usual demeanor.

However, he didn't want to break the atmosphere because he thought Zhang Yang's voice was really nice when he was teasing him, as clear and pleasant as a little bird, and he wanted to hear it a few more times.

"The price of a pack of cigarettes can make someone happy for five minutes."

Five minutes? That's so short!

"Wow, you understood everything?"

"Hehe, I'm not a little girl who just graduated from school."

"Oh."

"Brother Shu, don't you like it?"

"I like it. Oh, but not that kind of liking."

"Oh? What kind of liking is that? Tell me~"

Chen Shu drove his little motorcycle with Zhang Yang on the back, speeding along the long street until their laughter, carried away by the night wind, disappeared around the street corner.
