Chapter 167 Lin Jie's Confidential Secretary

Shanghai Police Department, Huangpu Branch Personnel Section.

"Chief Zhang, this is the secretary I hired. Please help me with the employment formalities."

Lin Jie went directly to the head of the Personnel Department and stated his request straight to the point.

"Deputy Director Lin, this is against the rules. Your secretary should be arranged by the bureau. It's not for me to decide."

Last time, Section Chief Zhang recommended his cousin to be Lin Jie's secretary, but was rejected by Lin Jie. He felt a little uncomfortable and pretended to be businesslike.

"Is there such a rule? I'll call Director Chen and ask him!" Lin Jie didn't give Section Chief Zhang any face at all, as she handled her duties impartially.

"Oh, Director Lin, I remember now that bureau-level cadres can decide on their own secretaries. No need to bother Director Chen. I can do it now."

Section Chief Zhang didn't expect Lin Jie to be so direct. When he saw Liu Ruyan again, he hugged Lin Jie's arm very schemingly. He understood what was going on and quickly put on a smile.

It only took ten minutes to complete Liu Ruyan's employment procedures.

"Director Lin, all right, Miss Liu is now a second-level police officer, and her position is the confidential secretary to the deputy director."

Section Chief Zhang deliberately processed Liu Ruyan into a second-level police officer. You know, most of the officers in the police station are third-level police officers.

"Hahaha, Section Chief Zhang is an understanding man. Ruyan, why don't you thank Section Chief Zhang? She has saved her a few years of hard work."

Liu Ruyan didn't understand this, but she listened to Lin Jie and bowed to Section Chief Zhang sweetly to express her gratitude. "Thank you, Section Chief Zhang."

"Oh, I don't deserve it. I'm only a second-level police officer." The personnel department of the branch actually has only three people, and they do not have the authority of the headquarters.

"Haha, Chief Zhang, has your cousin found a job?" Lin Jie wanted to return the favor, it's all about social etiquette!

"Ah, it's hard to find a job in this world, otherwise, I wouldn't have been so shameless as to recommend her to be your secretary last time, ah..."

"Chief Zhang, I remember there seems to be vacancies in the logistics of the inspection team? Can you help me check it out?" Lin Jie said with a smile.

"Oh, it's my fault. One of the recorders is indeed absent. Director Lin, do you have any requests? I will recruit someone to replace him right away."

Section Chief Zhang pretended to flip through the file and immediately came to a conclusion.

"Just knowing how to read is fine. It seems like your cousin has attended middle school, why don't you let her try? Ruyan just got here, so it would be nice to have someone new to keep her company."

"Oh, thank you so much, Director Lin. Tomorrow, no, I'll go home now and ask her to come over for Director Lin's assessment. Then I'll have to trouble Director Lin to help write a letter of recommendation."

"No problem, we are all colleagues! We should take care of each other."

……

"Chief, do I look good in my police uniform? Is it a little too baggy?"

Liu Ruyan dragged a little girl, who was also in a police uniform, and rushed into Lin Jie's office. She walked around in front of Lin Jie for a few times, waiting for Lin Jie's evaluation.

"Well, you look good, but you're too thin. Eat more in the future." Lin Jie's eyes lit up. The tall Liu Ruyan, wearing a police uniform, did have a unique charm.

But he is a pervert and likes plump ones, so he said this. Although Lin Jie no longer has any feelings for Liu Ruyan, a good-looking secretary is pleasing to the eye.

"Director, you said you would take me to take pictures, when are you going?

"Let's go now! Xiao Zhang, come with us!"

In a photo studio on the street, the two girls took half-length work photos, and Liu Ruyan took a photo with Xiao Zhang.

Then she used this as an excuse to take a photo with Lin Jie. She took several photos in a row before she was satisfied, because in the last photo, Liu Ruyan boldly put her arm around Lin Jie and rested her head on his shoulder.

That evening, Liu Ruyan was in her single dormitory, humming a little tune and packing her luggage when Xiao Zhang came over from next door.

"Sister Ruyan, can I borrow your bathroom to take a shower? I don't have hot water!"

"Ah, how could that be? It was still very hot when I was taking a shower just now." Liu Ruyan asked Xiao Zhang curiously.

"There are five people living over there. I'm the newcomer and I don't dare to compete with them. The water is cold before it's my turn."

Xiao Zhang looked at Liu Ruyan's room with envy. In addition to the bed, there was also a desk and a small sofa.

"Well, go take a shower. If there's no hot water in the future, come over to me. Section Chief Zhang asked me to take care of you."

"Thank you, Sister Ruyan." Xiao Zhang ran into the bathroom holding the clothes.

Liu Ruyan sat down on the sofa. In just one day, she witnessed the gap between social classes.

She used to think that except for the rich and powerful, everyone else was the same. Now it seems that she was too naive. Just by interacting with a few people, she received a huge difference in the treatment she received.

When Section Chief Zhang saw that he was holding Lin Jie's hand, his attitude changed. They were all newcomers, and she said that he was a second-level police officer and lived in a single room. Xiao Zhang didn't even have a rank, and lived in a large dormitory with people from different departments.

Liu Ruyan looked at the police uniform hanging on the side of the bed, especially the second-level logo on the shoulder strap, and smiled sincerely. As she smiled, tears fell from her eyes.

A dozen days ago, she was still an innocent college student, but now she has become a traitorous police officer despised by the people. Isn't it ridiculous?

Liu Ruyan is very conflicted now. She has no intention of becoming Lin Jie's lover, but she still maintains her passion for Lin Jie, especially when there are outsiders around, she shows more intimacy between her and Lin Jie.

She wanted to make people think that there was a special relationship between her and Lin Jie. She did this to improve her status and tell others that she was already taken, so as to protect herself.

Of course, Liu Ruyan also knew that she could not deceive Lin Jie by using him. Fortunately, Lin Jie did not take advantage of her misfortune and asked her to do anything. If Lin Jie really wanted to do that, she would not be able to resist.

Liu Ruyan lost her parents at a very young age and was raised by her uncle. At that time, Lin Jie told her that there was no one at home because he felt sorry for her.

After the incident, she couldn't stay in school anymore and ran back to her uncle's house. However, all kinds of vicious rumors involved her uncle's family as well. She didn't want to implicate her uncle, so she ran out to find Lin Jie.

Liu Ruyan felt that she had changed, becoming shameless and shameless, but she wanted to survive, she wanted to live better than those who laughed at her and insulted her. She even fantasized about stepping on them one day.

"Sister Ruyan, can I hang my clothes over there too? It's so crowded over there! Sister Ruyan, your place is so spacious! The director is so nice to you."

Before Xiao Zhang entered the police station, her cousin warned her to maintain a good relationship with Liu Ruyan, and it would be best if they were good sisters, because Liu Ruyan might be Deputy Director Lin's lover.

Xiao Zhang was not only envious of Liu Ruyan being Lin Jie's lover, but also a little jealous, because Lin Jie's secretary was originally hers. Unfortunately, Lin Jie didn't like her.

Xiao Zhang came from the suburbs. When the Japanese were clearing the countryside, many people had no food to eat, so she came to live with her cousin.

In my cousin's family, only my cousin and her husband have jobs. Xiao Zhang, who can't find a job, is ridiculed by her brother-in-law's family all day long, and even her cousin is scolded by her brother-in-law.

"Xiao Zhang, don't talk nonsense. Director Lin and I are just ordinary friends. He has a wife."

Liu Ruyan's face felt a little hot, but she wasn't angry. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
