Chapter 229 The Queen and Number 0.7 (Bonus Chapter 4)
News of public officials getting involved in scandals spreads quickly online, so in a short period of time, the case of the man surnamed Ding violating discipline became a hot topic online.
The next day when Lü Wang went to work, she ran into the colleague who had wanted to introduce her to a potential partner. The colleague was a little embarrassed and pulled Lü Wang aside to quietly apologize.
"Little Lü, I really didn't expect that Ding Luren was such a wicked person behind the scenes. I'm sorry, but don't worry, I have plenty of resources here, and I will definitely find you a truly outstanding man!"
The kind-hearted colleague patted his chest and left.
Lu Wang munched on a small bread roll, thinking to herself that this colleague, who had only recently been transferred here, definitely didn't know about her "achievements".
Over the years, many of Lü Wang's colleagues who are nearing retirement have tried to introduce him to potential partners. However, whenever Lü Wang goes to meet someone, something unexpected always happens.
For example, some lewd comments that this man made under videos of beautiful women were exposed, or records of that man searching for short videos in the middle of the night were exposed, or illegal and disorderly conduct like that of Ding Luren were exposed.
If this happened once, it could be considered a coincidence, but for it to happen repeatedly, it seems rather strange.
So some people spread rumors that Lü Wang was probably cursed, and that God didn't want her to find a partner.
Lu Wang laughed it off. She was a staunch materialist and would never believe in such a baseless theory. But now, she suddenly wondered if she was really destined to remain single.
After Ding Luren's incident, the male colleagues dared not get too close to Lü Wang. They were afraid that if they were also infected by the curse, all their private secrets would be exposed, and they would die on the spot.
However, the female colleagues loved to get close to Lü Wang, especially when they were looking for boyfriends. They would always ask Lü Wang to come out and test whether the men they had chosen were decent people.
Lu Wang just finished a case yesterday. Her work has been much easier lately, and she has more free time to eat in the cafeteria.
She had just sat down when she received the message.
Zero: [I've arrived in your city.]
Lu Wang paused for a moment, then asked, "Didn't you say you were abroad?"
Zero: [Yes, the formalities are complete, I can go back to China.]
Lü Wang: [That simple?]
She remembered that he had said the day before that he was abroad and wouldn't be able to come back.
Zero: [It's like playing a game. When you log in, create your character, and appear in the game, the other players don't feel that your appearance is abrupt. It's that simple.]
Lü Wang didn't see any similarities between the two, but she always distinguished between the online and real worlds, so when this online friend returned, she simply replied: "Congratulations on being able to come home."
Anyway, she had absolutely no intention of meeting him in person.
The people over there were probably busy with something and didn't reply to her message.
In the afternoon, Lü Wang saw the director, who had a beaming face, pass by. You know, they have a lot of work pressure and dealing with troubles can easily leave them exhausted. This director usually has a stern face.
Lu Wang stopped a female colleague who was passing by and asked, "Is there some good news? The director seems so happy."
The female colleague whispered, "I heard it too. Apparently, our office is getting a top-notch overseas returnee, from the IT department. Isn't this the era of big data? Crimes are all closely related to the internet. With someone like that, handling cases will be much easier!"
"Wow, that's amazing!" Lu Wang's eyes lit up. She was bad at studying online information in school, but someone who could easily find information online was a very impressive person in her eyes.
Like everyone else, Lü Wang was also quite curious about what kind of person would arrive. Several leaders showed up to fully demonstrate their warm welcome to the overseas returnee elite, so Lü Wang, being a lowly employee, didn't bother to join in the fun.
But not long after, someone notified Lü Wang to go to the conference room.
Lu Wang was baffled. She entered the conference room, completely confused, and everyone sitting inside turned to look at her.
Lü Wang wasn't good at dealing with superiors, so she gave a polite smile, walked in, and asked, "Director, you wanted to see me?"
"Xiao Lü, please get to know this gentleman first." The director smiled warmly. "This is our new colleague, Mr. Ling Qi."
Lü Wang looked over.
This was a man who appeared very cold and aloof. His handsome face was expressionless, just like him, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
The man stood up, extended his hand, and said coldly, "Hello."
Lü Wang shook his hand and replied, "Hello, I'm Lü Wang."
Ling Qi said, "I know."
This sounds a bit off, but it's probably because her boss had already introduced her to him before she arrived.
Lu Wang looked at the leaders, not understanding why they had summoned him.
Fortunately, the leader explained directly, "Ling Qi is new here and doesn't know anyone. Xiao Lü, you have always been very responsible since you started working, and you have been working with Lao Zhang for so many years. Lao Zhang is retiring this year, so we are very reassured that you and Ling Qi are partners."
Lu Wang glanced at Ling Qi's tall and thin frame and seriously doubted whether he could fight and catch fugitives, but his specialization probably wasn't in fighting.
After considering the actual situation, Lü Wang nodded, "Okay."
The leader added, "And isn't there an empty room next to your dorm? Take Ling Qi back today, and he'll be your neighbor from now on."
Lü Wang: "...Okay."
As they emerged from the conference room, Ling Qi spoke first, "Thank you for your help in the future."
Lu Wang asked, "I heard you have a strong ability to gather information online?"
Ling Qi: "So-so."
Lu Wang wasn't sure if this person was being modest, so she took a step away from Ling Qi. "Don't blame me for not warning you, don't get too close to me, or you'll easily get into trouble."
He asked, "Bad luck?"
"Your little secrets that you don't want others to know will all be exposed."
Ling Qi took a step closer to her. "I'm not afraid."
A water deliveryman was passing by and was about to bump into Ling Qi from behind when Lü Wang reached out and grabbed Ling Qi's hand, pulling him closer to him.
The water deliveryman said sorry and walked away.
Ling Qi glanced at the hand that was holding hers and said seriously, "My little secret hasn't been exposed."
Lu Wang looked up, his brow twitching. "You...you don't have any designs on me, do you?"
Ling Qi's expression froze, as if she were a little dazed.
Lu Wang pointed to his face, "Your face is very red."
Ling Qi: "..."
Lu Wang squinted and touched his chin, wondering with interest, "Is her luck with men about to change?"
