After Quitting the Circle and Getting Ashore, I Eat Melons on the Frontline

Wen Qianqian is talented in both civil and martial arts, versatile in ten fields. Unexpectedly, she encounters a sudden car accident. When she opens her eyes, she discovers she has transmigrated in...

Chapter 45

Lu Xingyan looked at his smug face and shook his head calmly: "Alright, since you don't like it so much, then the triple salary is gone."

Assistant Yuan: ? ? ! !

"No, no, I can't!" Assistant Yuan gritted his teeth. A man of insight and wit, he realized something was wrong and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I was wrong. You're a very good person. Miss Wen will definitely be fascinated by your character!"

"Please forgive me if you are a sage!" He gritted his teeth and tried to sound more sincere.

"Really?" Lu Xingyan raised the corner of his mouth. "Whether she was attracted by my character or not, I don't know, but I clearly felt that you were scolding me just now."

"Absolutely not!" Assistant Yuan swore, "Because I was attracted by your character!"

Lu Xingyan: ...

Tsk tsk tsk, it sounded so fake and artificial. Just by looking at Assistant Yuan's pretended calm expression, he knew that this guy was not sincere at all.

Suddenly, his eyes moved around the cake, checked the time, thought for a moment, and then said to Assistant Yuan, "You eat this cake."

Assistant Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking extremely embarrassed. "... Mr. Lu, this is inappropriate, right?"

Lu Xingyan looked at him and said, "Eat if I tell you to."

Assistant Yuan's alarm bells immediately went off: "Oh my god! This guy actually gave me the cake he spent a week studying and a whole day making to woo girls. Is he really that kind? Is it poisonous?"

So he flatly refused: "No! This is something you made for Miss Wen. How dare I covet something that doesn't belong to me!"

He is not stupid. He knows that if he dares to eat the cake that Lu Xingyan used to pursue girls today, and Lu Xingyan suddenly changes his mind tomorrow, he might ask him to pay it back with interest.

Lu Xingyan gave him a strange look and asked, "Who said they were going to give you Miss Wen's share?"

"I'll prepare her portion, wrap it in a box and put it in the refrigerator." After saying that, he pointed to the cake on the table and said, "This one is bad. It's for you to eat."

After saying that, he added: "Try it first. If it tastes bad, I won't give it to you."

Assistant Yuan: ...

Humph! He's full of resentment. He knew good things wouldn't come to him.

After thinking about it, he took a big bite out of anger under Lu Xingyan's impatient urging, and stuffed a large lump of cream into his mouth.

"How is it?" Lu Xingyan came over, looking very nervous.

"It seems alright," Assistant Yuan savored it carefully. "It tastes a bit like the desserts in that French restaurant, but the shape is a little off-putting."

Lu Xingyan glared at him and said, "I bought the recipe specifically from the pastry chef at that restaurant."

After saying that, he chuckled, as if recalling something: "Miss Wen likes to eat it, so I wanted to try making it."

Assistant Yuan was a little puzzled: "Didn't they say that the pastry chef's recipe wouldn't be passed on to others?"

This is a rule that everyone basically knows. Every famous pastry chef has his own secret recipe for making cakes, which he generally never passes on to others. After all, once it is passed on to others, his unique skills that he is proud of will be spread all over the street.

Assistant Yuan asked in a puzzled voice, "How did you get it?"

"Spend money." Lu Xingyan said concisely and clearly.

Assistant Yuan: ...

Okay, you're the best.

Seeing that Assistant Yuan gave a good review of the cake, Lu Xingyan's uneasy heart finally settled down a little.

Then, he looked at the tightly closed door and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He patted Assistant Yuan on the shoulder and said seriously, "Assistant Yuan, didn't you just say you were impressed by my character? Now I just happen to have something I want to tell you."

Assistant Yuan was a little confused: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xingyan cleared his throat: "I want you to move into our house."

"Huh?" Assistant Yuan was horrified, his whole body showing resistance, and he stammered: "Mr. Lu, we men shouldn't touch each other, this is not good..."

"Pah," Lu Xingyan glared at him, "What on earth are you thinking about?"

He pointed at the door and said, "Miss Wen and I always have different schedules. I haven't seen her for almost a week."

"I want you to stay at my place tonight. Stand by the door and listen for footsteps. When she comes back, tell me."

Assistant Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way? No way? You actually asked me to help you work overtime to guard the gate. What do you do?"

I knew he was a dog, but I didn't know he was so dog-like. Dogs are so imaginative and unpredictable.

Lu Xingyan was very calm: "Go to work."

"You just said that I haven't worked overtime at the company for several days this week. I decided to work overtime at home to review documents and reports. When she comes back, tell me."

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh,” Assistant Yuan said indignantly, “Lu Xingyan, do you think you’re speaking human language?”

Although this job isn't tiring at all, it's really too much! Working overtime late at night to help him keep an eye on girls, why? Singles have human rights too!

Lu Xingyan was a little confused: "Is there something wrong?"

Assistant Yuan: "Nothing is right!"

Lu Xingyan thought about it and said, "It seems that this is indeed not right."

"How about this, you don't have to live with me anymore. I have another apartment downstairs. I'll give it to you as your year-end bonus."

Assistant Yuan:!!!

Lu Xingyan glanced at him and asked, "Is there anything wrong now?"

"No!" Assistant Yuan's usual professional smile immediately appeared on his face: "Everything is perfect."

After saying that, he took the initiative to happily move the single sofa, sat leisurely at the door, with a happy smile on his face.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Wen Qianqian had not returned yet.

Lu Xingyan felt a little disappointed when looking at the refrigerator. This imported top-grade cream was very delicate. Even if it was refrigerated in the refrigerator, its shelf life was only 4-5 hours. If he couldn't deliver it to her tonight, all his efforts for the afternoon would be wasted.

Assistant Yuan observed his expression and quietly opened the electronic peephole at the door. Seeing the door of Wen Qianqian's house across the street, a plan suddenly came to mind: "Mr. Lu, why don't you hang the cake on Miss Wen's doorknob so she can see it when she comes back."

Lu Xingyan hesitated: "Is this okay?"

Assistant Yuan: "What's wrong with that? She can find out when she gets home. It's better than you rushing to her house late at night to deliver it, right?"

Lu Xingyan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he went to the refrigerator and took out the cake that had been carefully wrapped in a box. He didn't pay attention when he was wrapping it, but only now did he see a faint heart printed on it. He didn't know why, but the moment he saw it, he suddenly felt itchy.

He held the box and looked at it for a while before he made up his mind. He put the cake into the packaging bag and carefully wrote a line of words on a piece of paper: "Working overtime too late, take care of yourself."

Assistant Yuan leaned over to read what he had written and immediately couldn't help but complain, "Boss Lu, what you wrote is too plain and cold!"

"Even Miss Wen can't feel your fiery heart!"

He propped up his head with his hands: "You should write about my dear Qianqian, you are so sweet, stirring my heart, you are like sugar, sweet to the point of sadness!"

Lu Xingyan: "...Get out of the way..."

After saying that, he was no longer bothered to pay attention to Assistant Yuan. He opened the door silently and walked to Wen Qianqian's door. He thought for a moment, then carefully hung the bag on the door. He looked at it carefully twice before turning around and returning to his home.

After the game, he concentrated on working in the study. Just like Assistant Yuan said, he was very busy and his daily schedule was as busy as a top. Recently, because of his own little thoughts, he had been very rebellious, so he had to do his work well in the remaining time.

I don't know how long it was before Assistant Yuan suddenly called out quietly from outside: "You're back, you're back!"

Lu Xingyan's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt a little nervous.

He was busy making the cake and didn't think much about it. Later, he kept looking at documents until Assistant Yuan called him and said that Wen Qianqian was back. Only then did he feel inexplicably nervous.

He suddenly realized something: What if she doesn't like it? What if she throws it away?

He had never thought that she would refuse before, but now that the time had come, he suddenly realized that she might not accept it 100%. Who knows, she might really not like it and just throw it away.

This thought suddenly made him panic, and Assistant Yuan was still shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, we're going into the house."

Lu Xingyan hesitated for a long time and felt as if he had never been so nervous in his life. Moreover, this nervousness was still spreading. When Assistant Yuan called him, he became even more nervous.

"Hurry up! If you don't come soon, I'll have to go in!" Assistant Yuan began to urge impatiently.

Lu Xingyan took a deep breath and finally decided to go over.

"Come on, come on, hurry up." When I got closer, I saw that Assistant Yuan was slacking off and quietly opened the electronic peephole to look outside.

Lu Xingyan glanced around and saw on the screen that Wen Qianqian had just walked to the door. When she was about to go in, she noticed the cake hanging at the door.

She seemed a little surprised and was picking it up to examine it carefully.

Lu Xingyan's nervousness intensified, like a primary school student waiting for his grades to be announced. So he shifted his focus and looked at Assistant Yuan: "Isn't it impolite to look at Miss Wen through a cat's eye like this?"

Assistant Yuan felt a little aggrieved: "You want to keep an eye on her, and this is just an ordinary electronic cat's eye, which everyone has installed at home. It's just to watch the hallway, what's the problem?"

After saying that, he pretended to be serious: "If you don't want to watch it, I'll turn it off!" After saying that, he pretended to turn it off.

Lu Xingyan wanted to reach out to stop him, but before he could finish his words, he saw Wen Qianqian smiling after seeing the note, and then wrote something else with a pen to continue what he said.

Lu Xingyan suddenly felt his face getting a little hot. He stared at the door blankly, a little dazed.

Assistant Yuan put out the fire with his hand. "What are you looking at? They've already gone home."

Only then did Lu Xingyan come back to his senses.

Looking at Lu Xingyan's dazed look, Assistant Yuan was speechless. With a "click", he reached out and opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Lu Xingyan was a little confused. He watched him go out, worried that he would go look for Wen Qianqian, and felt a little anxious.

Assistant Yuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Love really does make people less intelligent."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Lu, you are so unbearable to watch."

Seeing Lu Xingyan's face darken, he immediately said, "Mr. Lu, haven't you been concerned about what she wrote? I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, he slipped out, and a second later, a pink note appeared in his hand.

He was about to read the note when Lu Xingyan snatched it away.

"Let me see what it says!" Assistant Yuan complained, "I brought this back!"

Lu Xingyan stuffed the note into his pocket without even looking at him: "No way."

Ahhhh, this dog! Assistant Yuan stood at the door, having an urge to beat the dog.

It was not until he arrived at the study that Lu Xingyan quietly opened the note.

After his originally rough handwriting, a few elegant and beautiful small words appeared: Thank you.

Then a simple smiley face was drawn next to it.

Lu Xingyan looked at the smiling face and smiled for a long time for no apparent reason.

The next day, Wen Qianqian got up, looked at the cake box on the table, and chuckled.

When she came back yesterday, she heard a loud quarrel next door. Assistant Yuan kept shouting, "Mr. Lu, come here!" Lu Xingyan hesitated, "Is this not good..."

The two elementary school kids were arguing, thinking she didn't know. In fact, from the moment she got off the elevator, she was attracted by the howling of Assistant Yuan in the room opposite.

She looked in the mirror and adjusted her hair. She had no time to pay attention to the cake box because there was an important event today - a city-wide commendation meeting.

This commendation meeting was very grand. The District C Police Station was led by Director You himself. He took Captain Gu, Pei You and her on the car to the Municipal Bureau.

The city police department in the imperial capital is different from the police departments in ordinary cities. Its level is higher. The director of the city police department is often highly qualified and has a higher level.

Even Director You was very nervous about this event. He got ready early in the morning and checked his uniform again and again before taking them with him.

On the way, he said to Wen Qianqian, "Young people have great potential. You should know that you have broken the record for the youngest person to be awarded the Advanced Individual Award in our bureau."

He pointed at Pei You and said, "You know, even an outstanding guy like Pei You only got the Advanced Individual award three years after he came here."

He looked at Wen Qianqian and smiled. "Captain Gu recommended you before, and everyone else recommended you. I also agreed to let you apply for our bureau's advanced individual this year. Later, the city said there were a few advanced individual spots available, but several bureaus across the city had to compete."

He looked at Captain Gu and said, "Old Gu and I discussed reporting your story. We didn't have high hopes, but I didn't expect it to be approved."

As he spoke, he laughed: "Comrade Xiao Wen is no ordinary person. Opportunities like this are rare. Our bureau hasn't received the city's advanced award in several years."

Wen Qianqian smiled modestly: "This award is not something I can get by myself alone. It is also due to the trust and cultivation of the director, as well as the joint help of all my colleagues. This award belongs to everyone."

"Okay," the director laughed. "I like humble and hardworking young people. Keep going! Your future is limitless!"

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau, and Wen Qianqian followed Director You and Captain Gu inside. As they walked, they looked around curiously.

Unlike the district, the city police station seemed much more spacious, with police officers wearing uniforms of various colors and police cars parked one after another.

There were obviously a lot of people, but it didn't seem crowded or messy at all. Everyone's movements were clean and neat, and their actions were orderly.

Wen Qianqian watched and admired in her heart, this is the police of our country, disciplined and capable, making people feel safe when looking at them.

"Director You is here?" The director of the Municipal Bureau's office greeted him repeatedly upon seeing him. The two seemed to know each other well. After exchanging pleasantries, the man looked at Wen Qianqian behind Director You and said, "Isn't this the newcomer from your bureau? I've heard about that celebrity who crashed into the president of the Lu Group and then fled the scene. It caused a huge uproar, with all sorts of theories circulating, leaving everyone in a state of panic. Fortunately, this young woman from your bureau stepped in and not only saved the man and averted a disaster, but I heard she even legendaryly found the perpetrator without any surveillance footage. She's truly remarkable!"

Director You was also very happy to hear someone praising his people, and immediately said, "Yes, if Xiao Wen hadn't come up with the idea of ​​collecting clues online, who knows how long this matter would have dragged on. She helped us solve a big problem!"

"If we were a step later, the murderer would have destroyed the evidence."

"Really?" The other party was also surprised: "I didn't know there would be such a situation later." He looked at Wen Qianqian again, his eyes full of praise: "This little girl is really not simple!"

Wen Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled at him: "It's all thanks to the good leadership and the good cooperation of my colleagues."

The other party also smiled at her and said: "The little girl will achieve great things in the future." After that, he said to Director You: "Old You must cultivate her well!"

Director You patted his chest and said, "Of course!"

After saying hello, Director You led them to the venue. As they walked along, they were often met with curious and envious glances.

[Wow, that's the super rookie from Zone C?]

[She's very capable and good-looking, I'm so envious! ]

[I heard that District C solved a lot of big cases this year, and most of them were contributed by this super rookie. I have to say, he is really amazing!]

If she wasn't so amazing, why would the city make an exception and give her the Advanced Individual Award this year? The document clearly states that only those with at least three years of experience can be considered, or those who are exceptionally outstanding can apply. The city giving her the award is a sign of recognition.

I visited District C a few days ago and saw a very positive atmosphere throughout the bureau. Everyone was very motivated, demonstrating overall unity. Who knows, District C might even be awarded the year-end Best Unit award.

[Wow, District C hasn't won an award in years. This year is such a great year!]

As Director You walked, he listened to the people around him praising Wen Qianqian and the bureau. He felt very happy and couldn't stop smiling.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the venue.

Wen Qianqian looked around and saw police officers in uniform everywhere. They were all elites from various departments in the imperial capital.

In the crowd, she turned around and suddenly saw Qi Xin, who had short hair and was waving at her from a distance.

Today, Qi Xin is also a well-known newcomer in the D District Police Station. The case of Park Shun's drug abuse and sexual assault on minors that she handled made her famous in the D District Police Station. In particular, she talked with those underage girls, gained their trust, and let them take the initiative to go to the police station to expose Park Shun's evil deeds. The chief of D District felt that her handling measures were appropriate and he was very fond of her.

Now, Qi Xin is also a key training target in District D.

Wen Qianqian waved at her and sat down in her seat.

Soon, the commendation meeting began.

As everyone had expected, the District C Police Station won many awards. Chief You sat next to them, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed.

The director of the Municipal Bureau's office, acting as host, continued on stage: "Next, let's award this year's outstanding units."

He took the list and continued, "This year, the best unit in Imperial City is District C Police Station. Welcome everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Director You stood up to receive the award for the fourth time today, with a big smile on his face.

After the host presented the awards, he asked Director You on stage: "Director You, what do you think is the secret to District C's success this year?"

Director You thought for a moment and said, "With hard work and dedication, our bureau's case clearance rate has increased by 63% this year, and the rate of solving major criminal cases has increased by 78%. This is the result of our joint efforts."

"Also, everyone may have heard that there's a new guy in our bureau."

"Everyone knows that Xiao Wen was initially a celebrity, and the focus on her was primarily out of curiosity. Some people even came to our police station to file a report just to see Xiao Wen."

"I was also skeptical about her at the time. I thought she was a delicate girl and a former celebrity, and the contrast with the police profession was too great. I wouldn't be able to get used to it so quickly. Later, they told me that Xiao Wen had the highest score in this year's national exam. Only then did my opinion of her change a little."

"Later, Xiao Wen officially joined us. Unexpectedly, he surprised us right away. Within a month, he cracked a taxi driver molestation case, an entertainment company tax evasion and bribery case, and then there was the city-wide hit-and-run case involving the president of the Lu Group."

"These cases happened in a short time span, were difficult, and involved unique amounts of money and individuals. Any one of them would have taken a long time to investigate, but Xiao Wen came here and solved three major cases within a month, directly breaking our fastest case-solving record."

"Later, as everyone knows, Xiao Wen participated in the recording of the legal program "Fa Shuo Xian Xian." He apprehended four criminals on the set, implicating hundreds of people in the case. Among them were major cases involving the sexual assault of minors, financial fraud, drug abuse, tax evasion, and the illegal killing of protected animals. Each one was shocking, but thanks to Xiao Wen's presence, these criminals were eventually brought to justice."

"So, on behalf of our bureau, I thank you, Xiao Wen, and I hope you'll keep up the good work! I also hope that our Bureau C will achieve even greater success next year!"

After Director You finished speaking, the audience burst into applause. People in the front row turned around to look at Wen Qianqian, their eyes full of envy and admiration.

After the Best Unit awards were presented, the biggest suspense of the year came with the Outstanding Contribution Award. Only one person can receive it each year, and it's the highest honor for the police in the capital.

"Are you nervous?" Captain Gu asked Wen Qianqian quietly.

She shook her head: "Not nervous." She knew in her heart that this award was too important to give it to a newcomer.

This award represents the highest award of the Imperial Capital Police Department. Many outstanding police officers would find it difficult to win this award in their entire lives. Looking back, before she transmigrated into the book, she only received it after working for 5 years.

So she is very calm now. She is just here to make up the number this year. After a few years, she will decide to make a full effort to win this award.

The host kept the topic a secret for a moment: "So, which unit and which individual will receive this most important award this year?"

The atmosphere is a bit tense now. After all, this is a big award that only comes once a year. There have been many speculations before the award ceremony. Now that the event is underway, the biggest suspense is about to be revealed.

The host looked around the audience and read out loud, "This year's winner of the Outstanding Contribution Award is Wen Qianqian from District C Police Station!"

"Pa pa pa pa" an even more enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience, like spring thunder.

The people in the front row looked back again, their eyes changing from envy to amazement.

Wen Qianqian covered her mouth. She didn't expect that she could win this award in just one year. It was really surprising and exciting.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Captain Gu and Pei You beside her clapped their hands and congratulated her excitedly.

"Xiao Wen! Well done!" Director You excitedly gave her a thumbs up.

Wen Qianqian stood up amid exclamations and slowly walked towards the stage.

When she passed Qi Xin, she whispered excitedly, "Qianqian, you won the Outstanding Contribution Award in just one year! You broke the record again!"

Wen Qianqian walked slowly towards the stage, feeling a sense of unreality.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the host announced: "Award presenter, welcome Director Zheng of the Municipal Bureau!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience exclaimed:

[Didn't the director accompany the minister on an inspection trip? Why is he here today?]

[Wow, I'm so excited to see the Director at the conference today!]

[I never expected the Director to come here right after accompanying the Minister on the inspection. It seems the Director takes this award ceremony very seriously!]

I'm so envious of Wen Qianqian. She's only been at the police station for a year and already has such a high-ranking leader presenting her with an award. She's so blessed!

Amidst thunderous applause, Director Zheng slowly walked onto the stage, took the certificate from the host, and handed it to Wen Qianqian.

At this moment, Wen Qianqian was extremely shocked, and there was even a hint of moisture in her eyes.

After entering the book, she thought that she would never be able to return to her past life and that she was far away from that honor. Unexpectedly, after hard work, she returned to the pinnacle of honor again.

Holding the certificate in her hand, she felt heavy and secure, and her heart finally felt at ease.

Director Zheng gave her a friendly handshake and smiled at her. "I've heard about your deeds. Keep up the good work, young man."

Wen Qianqian nodded vigorously.

"Group photo, group photo!" said the host with a smile.

So Wen Qianqian held the certificate and stood solemnly next to Director Zheng. The camera clicked and took a photo of the two of them.

The author has something to say:

The levels and awards are all made up by me, no need to verify them.
