191: Secretary Yang's request
Dad was indeed right.
Since she was little, Su Mei had a competitive personality; if she liked something, she would fight for it.
That's why her personality was a bit brash.
If Su Mei didn't know about the situation between Zhang Yu and Lu Hanxiao, she would have definitely made a move long ago.
But.
Now, obviously, she couldn't do that anymore.
"Dad, thank you, but right now, my heart is only on work."
Su Mei smiled.
"I still haven't received your appointment allowing me to stay on the Criminal Police Team."
"You have already qualified,"
Su Guoqiang said.
"I know about your performance in this mission. Before, I was too worried, but now it seems you really are suited for this."
"Yay! That's great!"
Su Mei couldn't help but jump up.
Now, she finally didn't have to be a Traffic Police officer, checking cars on the road.
It wasn't that she looked down on the Traffic Police, it was just that her aspirations didn't lie there.
Now that Dad had nodded in approval.
From now on, she could finally return to her favorite profession.
"Alright, hurry up and get to work. There's still a pile of things left to handle,"
Su Guoqiang said.
"Oh right," he remembered another thing, "Has Sasha returned yet?"
"Not yet, she's still on the heavenly river,"
Su Mei answered truthfully.
"This girl, just running off without a word, she's going to worry Old Sha to death,"
Su Guoqiang sighed about his niece.
"Dad, what are you afraid of? There are guards on the ship now, the pirates won't come back."
Su Mei said.
"Easier said than done," Su Guoqiang's expression was stern.
"Do you not know that after the heavenly river reaches the high seas, they don't care about many things on board? No one dares to come and fight on the outside, but what about the inside?"
Su Guoqiang had handled cases for many years and had some understanding of the matters on the heavenly river.
"There are many gamblers and playboys on board. If they set their sights on Sasha, then…"
"It wouldn't be that serious, would it?"
Su Mei realized that she had indeed overlooked this problem.
"After all, she has status…"
"It's precisely because she has status that she's easier to manipulate,"
Su Guoqiang sighed, "What do you think your uncle was worried about when he wouldn't let Sasha run around?"
"I know now, I'll contact the cruise ship immediately and make sure to strengthen her protection."
Su Mei had saved Shen Aoshuang's number.
It was to make it easier to get in touch with the ship.
"Then you go quickly."
Watching Su Mei's retreating figure, Su Guoqiang took off his hat and smoothed down his thinning hair.
Sigh, he was getting old.
Without realizing it, he was already over 50.
His career was about at its end. The most important thing left was…
"Su Mei, that girl, must be shy."
Su Guoqiang didn't know about the relationship between Lu Hanxiao and Zhang Yu.
He thought to himself.
"Then I'll just have to step in and talk to Zhang Yu about this myself."
Zhang Yu was already a new upstart in Jiangcheng, and had gained the appreciation of a high-ranking official from the capital.
He had also made quite a name for himself fighting pirates on the ship.
He was definitely the 'it' guy right now, and who knows how many daughters from other families were eyeing him.
His name had now appeared in the mouths of almost every high-ranking official.
And Su Mei seemed interested in Zhang Yu, so if he, as her father, didn't proactively seize the opportunity,
and waited until Zhang Yu became someone else's son-in-law,
then he would really regret it.
Thinking this,
Su Guoqiang made up his mind; he had to act fast!
"Hey, Old Su, what are you doing?"
A black official car pulled up to the side of the road.
Su Guoqiang looked and saw it was his direct Superior Officer from the provincial department, Chen Tingquan.
He had come to the Jiangcheng bureau today to oversee the work.
"Oh. Nothing, I was just waiting for my daughter to come back."
"Your daughter is remarkable," Chen Tingquan said with a smile.
"Everyone in our system knows about her performance yesterday. Congratulations, a tiger father has no dog daughter."
"Thank you, Superior Officer!"
Su Guoqiang smiled politely.
"By the way, your daughter doesn't have a boyfriend yet, right? I know a few good young men, should I introduce them to her?"
Chen Tingquan asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Superior Officer, but… my daughter already has someone she likes."
Su Guoqiang replied.
"Has someone she likes?"
Chen Tingquan frowned slightly upon hearing this.
"It wouldn't be that Zhang Yu from the ship, would it?"
Su Guoqiang smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.
"That young man is indeed excellent."
Chen Tingquan smiled, "Your daughter has good taste. I'm leaving, Old Su."
"Safe travels, Superior Officer!"
Su Guoqiang waved goodbye.
"Little Sun, do you know Zhang Yu?"
In the car, Chen Tingquan asked his driver.
"I know him. He's been really hot lately. Yesterday he topped the charts on over a dozen platforms, almost paralyzing the entire internet."
Driver Little Sun said, "I also heard that hundreds of people went to the airport to meet him today."
"He is indeed a talent."
Chen Tingquan was lost in thought.
Even his driver knew of this person's existence.
It seems he really is a hit.
Now in Jiangcheng, many families want to find someone to introduce them.
Chen Tingquan thought.
He still had a daughter who wasn't married.
The reason she wasn't married was because his daughter was very arrogant and unruly.
Although she came from a prestigious background, it was very hard to find a match for her.
If it were other flaws, many people might be able to make do.
But his daughter had her own ideas, and she wouldn't settle for just anyone.
That's why she had remained unmarried.
"Such a figure can only be my son-in-law."
He thought to himself.
In all of Jingchu, among those who have unmarried daughters, his status was the highest.
Since that was the case, as long as Zhang Yu was in Jiangcheng,
he could not become someone else's son-in-law.
As for that Su Guoqiang, he was his subordinate, so that was absolutely out of the question.
"Nier," Chen Tingquan called his daughter.
"I think there is someone in Jiangcheng that you would like."
"Old Chen, who are you talking about?"
"Zhang Yu."
The person on the other end was clearly stunned for a few seconds, and there was the sound of a chair being dragged.
"Really? Zhang Yu? That's the one, I won't marry anyone else but him! Dad, you must help me!"
"You are my daughter, even if you wanted the stars in the sky, I would have to pluck them for you!"
Chen Tingquan had finally heard his daughter call him 'Dad,' and he was filled with mixed emotions.
……
"Finally here."
On this side.
Zhang Yu and his group arrived at Binjiang Mansion.
Lu Hanxiao and Pan Yuyao couldn't wait to run home as soon as they got out of the car.
"General Manager Zhang."
Behind them, Secretary Yang suddenly called out.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yu turned back and asked.
"I have something I want to ask you about."
Secretary Yang spoke with some hesitation.
"Go ahead."
Zhang Yu straightened his collar.
"I have a younger sister who works on the heavenly river. I was wondering, did you see her when you boarded the ship this time?"
Secretary Yang asked cautiously.
"Don't you have her contact information?"
"I do, but she never answers my calls," Secretary Yang said helplessly.
