Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

The chief coughed lightly. “Officer Nian is indeed impressive. Although I am in a high position, I have also heard some rumors about why officer Nian has never married and refused to find a boyfriend. Have you ever thought about how she feels?”

Nian Xi quickly said, “Chief, don’t say that. Since I chose to do this road back then, I don’t care about what others say.”

The director nodded. “I only knew about your story in the past few days. Nian Xi, I’ll record a merit for you. Let’s call it a day. Meeting adjourned.”

After the leaders left one after another, Nian Xi was instantly surrounded by a large group of colleagues. Everyone just came to praise her or ask when she would get married. However, Nian Xi was not too interested and returned to her office after a while.

The people in the first team were very happy to see her back. Fang Qi said directly, “Nian Xi, without you here, we simply have no leader.”

“What cases have you received recently?” Nian Xi asked with a smile.

Huang Lian, a subordinate, handed her a document. “It’s the arson case from two years ago at the Japanese food shop.”

“It’s been so long. It’s hard to investigate.” Nian Xi sighed as she stroked her hair.

“There have been too many unsolved cases in the past few years. Last week, Captain Fan sent a few unsolved cases to his subordinates. This is the most recent case,” Fang Qi said helplessly.

Nian Xi clapped her hands. “Alright, call everyone into the conference room. We’ll have a meeting on this case and listen to everyone’s opinions.”

…

Halfway through the small meeting, Jiang Yuning called. Nian Xi took a look and immediately hung up.

In less than half a minute, Jiang Yuning sent a Wechat message: “Why aren’t you picking up my call? Do You Not Love Me Anymore?”

Nian Xi saw the Wechat message and her expression froze for a few seconds. She ignored it and continued to analyze the case with everyone.

Not long after, the phone rang again. Cheng Jing smiled and said, “Captain, is it professor Jiang? Pick up. It’s okay, we didn’t see anything.”

“I can’t be distracted at work,” Nian Xi said seriously. This was her rule.

Fang Qi covered her mouth and laughed. “It’s different when your boyfriend is back. There are calls from your boyfriend at work.”

“I think you’ve been quite free recently,” Nian Xi said. “I’ll leave the investigation of the victims to you. You have to investigate all those who had disputes with the victims or have bad relationships with them.”

Fang Qi was depressed. The case was two years ago, and there were several victims. It would be extremely exhausting to find out. If she had foreseen Nian Xi’s response, she would not have said anything.

After the meeting ended, it was already noon. Nian Xi walked to the cafeteria and answered Jiang Yuning’s phone. The phone rang and she picked it up.

“Xixi, why did you take so long to call me back?” Jiang Yuning was depressed.

“I was in a meeting just now,” Nian Xi said.

“Then you can reply to my Wechat when you’re in a meeting,” Jiang Yuning said in a low voice. “You Sent me a Wechat message before during the meeting.”

“At that time, I was a small criminal police officer. I didn’t have much work except for occasional business trips. After all, I’m not an important person. It’s different now. I’m the team leader and I’m the boss. How can the boss send a text message in front of his subordinates to her boyfriend?” Nian Xi said in a low voice.

“I see.” Jiang Yuning understood. “Xixi, I’ll come over tomorrow morning with my parents.”

“So Soon?” Nian Xi was stunned. She thought that he would at least stay in Beijing for four or five days. “I don’t know if I can take a vacation tomorrow.”
