I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 156 Don’t mention this
Connections are something you can’t see or touch, but you can’t help but feel grateful when you need them.

We are still a society based on personal relationships.

Anyway, Jiang Hanwen failed to buy a return ticket on any ticket purchasing app.

Old Zhu was different. He bought return tickets for all the members of the suspension office and also got a first-class ticket for Jiang Hanwen on a Jinling flight to Xi'an.

Normally, when Jiang Hanwen heard Lao Zhu bragging about his status as the governor of Jinling, he would sneer at him. But this time, Jiang Hanwen actually flattered Lao Zhu.

This old guy has been working in Jinling for decades, and his connections are so complicated that he can almost do whatever he wants.

The waiting hall of Lukou Airport was crowded with people. Jiang Hanwen and Lao Zhu were each holding a thermos cup.

"It's fine for me, a 60-year-old man, to soak wolfberries, but you, in your twenties, are also trying to soak wolfberries like others. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Old Zhu shook his head. Many times he subconsciously felt that Jiang Hanwen was the same age as him. There was no way around it. This guy couldn't be described as mature beyond his years. The air of old age in him was even stronger than his own.

Which young man can be like this? Apart from smoking a few cigarettes on a daily basis, he doesn't do anything else that young people like, such as shopping, clubbing, nightclubs and drinking.

"Advisor Jiang, as someone who has been through this, I want to advise you that you should have fun while you are young. Don't wait until you are old and can't play anymore. It will be painful to watch helplessly, don't you know?"

There was a cunning look behind Lao Zhu's gold-rimmed glasses, and he didn't look like a teacher at all.

"How are they? Last time I saw the girls in your crew, both of them were good. One was good-looking and fashionable, and the other was simple and not bad either. There was also my master's distant niece's great-granddaughter. They were all rare girls. You must not let them down."

"Cough cough."

Jiang Hanwen almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

"Old Zhu, you old bastard, why are you checking my household registration for no reason? How have I offended you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say anything careless. I'm the director of the Public Security Bureau. How can I do such a thing?"

"Last time you brought the crew to Jinling to film, I went to watch it. The two girls looked at you with eyes that were almost wet with disgust. When I was young, I was the most handsome man in the Jinling police force. There were many beautiful women around me. I had seen all kinds of scenes. Your skills are not worthy of my attention~~"

Old Zhu was holding a wolfberry thermos cup with a disdainful expression, looking like a master.

Jiang Hanwen looked up and down at Lao Zhu, a short and thin man like a monkey. He could not imagine that he was the most handsome man in the police force.
"What kind of eccentric people are in your police force~~"

Jiang Hanwen pursed his lips, then suddenly thought of something and raised his eyebrows.

"Old Zhu, who do you think is Mr. Lin's great-niece?"

"Who? Oh, it's your little girlfriend, Lin Leqing, the granddaughter of Mr. Lin's late brother. Didn't the little girl tell you when you came to Jinling last time?"

This time it was Lao Zhu's turn to be confused, because this was not what the master had told him at that time.

Mr. Lin’s eldest brother passed away early, and his eldest brother’s son grew up in his home since childhood. This niece is no different from his own granddaughter, and he treats them both as his juniors. The last time the master came all the way to Jinling, wasn’t it just to come and inspect this niece’s son-in-law?

Is this little bastard Jiang Hanwen trying to fool me?

"Director Zhu, I really don't know. General Manager Xiao Lin never told me either. Besides, she and I are really just friends. The two girls you just mentioned are just ordinary employees and friends. It's not what you think."

"And Lin's Group is a local real estate company. Who would have thought that it has a relationship with the bigwigs in Beijing?"

Jiang Hanwen explained for a long time, but seeing Lao Zhu's expression that said "I don't believe you", he simply stopped explaining.

"Kid, your mind is full of cases, movies, and filming. I want to talk to you about the human relationships in the market. Do you think everyone can get involved in real estate? In our area, as long as the business is worth over 100 million yuan, you can't do it without building good relationships."

Talking about this, we can talk about Lao Zhu's expertise.

He has been in the industry for decades and has seen, listened to and experienced many things.

Seeing that Jiang Hanwen was confused, Lao Zhu decided to give this newbie some professional knowledge. Even if this guy doesn't mix in the circle in the future, he will inevitably deal with those people. Learning more things, even if he doesn't use them himself, can help prevent him from being cheated and falling into other people's traps.

Moreover, even in the film industry, it takes connections to get to the top, especially when Jiang Hanwen is shooting a crime film. If he fails to grasp the scale, the film may be shot but not released, and all the investment will be wasted. Money doesn't come from the wind.

Jiang Hanwen scratched his head and said, "Director Zhu, there are still more than three hours before boarding. Please take your time to talk. I'll listen."

Jiang Hanwen lowered his head to glance at his phone. Pei Sanmin, an old fan, sent him a message, saying that a farewell banquet was prepared at the hotel and asked why he didn't go.

Jiang Hanwen looked up at the beaming Old Zhu and thought that it was also his fault for not telling Old Zhu in advance. The plane ticket had been booked and the banquet had been arranged. He felt quite embarrassed.

"Hanwen, let's have a heart-to-heart talk today. Although I, Old Zhu, have limited abilities and am not qualified to be your master, I sincerely regard you as a friend. If you can come to the department and work with me, my position will be yours in two years. Plus, with the support of Old Lin, you can go back and win over his niece's granddaughter. There is nothing wrong with this path. With your extraordinary abilities, your future is limitless."

"Yes, yes, leader, it's not even New Year's Eve yet, stop making such auspicious statements and empty promises."

Jiang Hanwen waved his hand.

"Girl, we can talk about this. I dare not overstep my authority and sit on a stool that is as big as my butt. I am a young man in his twenties sitting in your seat. Are you afraid that I won't die fast enough?"

"Naive, you just look down on nepotism. Old Zhu, let me tell you, it's either innate or nepotism, there are only these two paths. Of course, if you're talking about Huang Chao, that's another story. Let's just say there's a golden road in front of you, why aren't you willing to take it?"

Old Zhu took a big sip of tea and his mouth bulged.

He tried to recruit Jiang Hanwen again and again, but this guy was as smelly and hard as a stone in a toilet.

Others cannot get this opportunity by begging or praying, but in this kid's eyes, he just looks down on it.

"Leader, I appreciate your kindness. I'd like to take this opportunity to be honest with you and make things clear."

Jiang Hanwen didn't want to play it safe this time, otherwise, given Lao Zhu's persistent nature, he would have to keep nagging him about these things in the future.

"Tell me about it. I'm all ears."

Old Zhu straightened his face. He also realized that this boy was speaking the truth.

"I, Jiang Hanwen, have been acting all my life."

"Wait a minute, you just graduated less than a year ago, where have you been acting for your whole life? Speak properly."

"Ahem, I studied acting for four years, and the only thing on my mind was filming. As soon as I graduated, I spent all the money I earned in four years of college on setting up a crew. I cobbled together a makeshift troupe. I just wanted to lead my team well, make good films, and make good money. If I had to choose between becoming a high-ranking official and winning the Best Actor Award, I wouldn't blink an eye and would definitely choose the Best Actor Award."

Jiang Hanwen's tone was very serious, and every word he said was very serious. This was the most real thought in his heart.

The Jiang Hanwen in this world is just a student who just graduated from a film academy, while the Jiang Hanwen in that world is an actor who started out as a supporting actor, struggled for twenty years, and finally stood on the podium and won the title of Best Actor.

Life is short, and some people want to be high officials, some people want to be rich, but you can't resist some people who just want to be the best actor.

Jiang Hanwen likes money more than anyone else because he has really slept on the streets and has been really poor.

But thinking back carefully, the excitement of receiving a high salary in my memory cannot be compared with the joy of standing on the podium and receiving the title of Best Actor.

Jiang Hanwen will never forget standing on the stage, with countless colleagues and audiences below the stage, and the lights above the stage shining on his face, hot and warm. At that moment, he felt like he owned the whole world.

"Of course, I am willing to solve the case. I have read so many files. Besides wanting to play the role well, I also want to do something to clear someone's name. As the old saying goes, this is called accumulating good karma."

Jiang Hanwen paused and thought for a moment.

"First, I can lead the crew well and make the film well, so that everyone can become rich, have a career, and have a stable job. Second, if a case comes to me, I, Jiang Hanwen, will not hide or avoid it. I will do everything I can. If it is convenient, I can also make it into a movie, which can not only make money but also accumulate merits. As for your golden road, I am incompetent and cannot take it."

After Jiang Hanwen finished speaking, his expression lightened and he clinked the thermos cup in his hand against Lao Zhu's cup.

"Haha, leader, what are you daydreaming about?"

Old Zhu smiled and shook his head, and the energy in his body also subsided. The other person had already said this much, and it would be inappropriate to say more.

Old Zhu simply thought that his career was bright and he never thought of harming Jiang Hanwen. After all, although the two had only met a few times, their friendship was very deep.

He scratched his head, and after a long while he finally managed to utter:
"Jiang Hanwen, your words remind me of a poem, which goes, 'I won't board the ship when the emperor calls me, I claim to be a fairy in wine!'"

"People, seeing the world and seeing themselves, the hardest thing is to see yourself. You are so young, but you can see yourself so clearly and know what you want. Tsk, it makes me ashamed. Let me tell you, I stayed in the capital for half a year and observed that 99% of the young talents of the third and fourth generations in the capital are not as good as you."

"It is indeed expensive, but it definitely doesn't have the spiritual energy and free-spiritedness of you. Old Zhu admires you."

Old Zhu clasped his hands together and made a promise to Jiang Hanwen.

I will never mention the issue of conscription again. After all, everyone has their own aspirations.

The money that Jiang Hanwen has earned in the past six months is more than an ordinary honest official can earn in twenty years.

Apart from anything else, the movie "Memories of Murder" which was filmed in the cold country had a high box office and was the box office champion in the cold country for several weeks.

Although the profit sharing is not very clear, Jiang Hanwen is now a small wealthy man with considerable wealth.

"You, Old Zhu, have worked in Nanjing for decades, but you didn't want to climb up the ladder. Now you come to persuade me. This is the wrong person. If you find a young and beautiful girl to win me over, I might agree because I am not determined."

Jiang Hanwen laughed.

"Forget it, forget it. I was kind enough to praise you, but you were still sarcastic. Alright! Let's not talk about this again. Let's have a meal and a drink next time we meet!"

Lao Zhu stretched out his right hand.

"Advisor Jiang, I won't keep you here during the New Year. From now on, whether you go to the capital or come to Jinling, I won't mention anything else. You will be provided with wine and food. Eat well, drink well, and have fun."

"A word is settled!"

After saying that, Lao Zhu took the lead and went down the stairs.

Everyone in the suspended office was waiting at the entrance of the passage below.

Jiang Hanwen didn't say anything more. He waved to Liu Mingyang in the distance as a farewell.

"Director Zhu, what's going on? Did Brother Jiang agree?"

As soon as Lao Zhu arrived at the boarding gate, Liu Mingyang and several young people from the suspension office surrounded him, and everyone had an expectant expression on their faces.

"If Brother Jiang comes to our case, then we will have to use the thickest book in the department to record our merits. With him leading us in handling cases, we will become a first, second, and third class merit wholesale department. Then everyone will..."

What Liu Mingyang said was also the true thoughts of the young people in Xuanban.

Who doesn't want to have a strong output in the team?

With a great god like Jiang Hanwen in charge, is there any case that cannot be solved?
By then, with the ability and merit of this young man, his future career will be very bright and promising.

More than 30 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, and thousands of county bureaus across the country know of the existence of the prophet.

Who wouldn’t want to bring this great god to their home and worship him?

With this person in charge, first of all, the clearance rate for all major cases in his jurisdiction is 100%, and the prophet also has a deterrent effect on potential criminals.

The homicide rate in this area will also be greatly reduced.

After all, except for a few high-ranking guys, any potential criminal with ill intentions who wants to commit a crime has to consider whether he can escape the eyes of the prophet.

"Director? Please tell me about it."

"What are you talking about? Isn't my face clear enough?"

When Old Zhu saw these bastards acting like this, he was furious.

"My director is still here. Everyone has their own ambitions. Consultant Jiang has too many things to do and really can't take care of us. After all, he has a crew to manage and a bunch of people depend on him for their livelihood. We might as well ruin his job, right?"

Old Zhu said it very easily. After all, there was still a long time to go, and he would have to ask Jiang Hanwen for help.

"Let's go. Without Zhang the butcher, we're just going to eat hairy pigs? You're all elites from prestigious schools. You still need practice to solve cases!"

Jiang Hanwen watched everyone from the Xuan Office enter the boarding gate, and everyone waved goodbye to Jiang Hanwen before leaving.

Jiang Hanwen also felt warm in his heart. These guys
Drop drop ~~
Jiang Hanwen opened his phone and saw two messages.

One belongs to Lao Ding and the other belongs to Lao Zhao from Chuncheng.
