Hong Kong Variety Show: Me, the Traffic Enforcement and Control Team?

Just came in!

Big Nose sniffed, as if he smelled something but couldn't quite place it. Finally, remembering his purpose for coming in, he immediately abandoned the question of smell and turned to look at Lin Zhengyi, saying with a slightly dejected expression, "Sir, I was wrong!"

"What did you do wrong?" Lin Zhengyi asked, looking at Chen Jiaju in front of him.

That's right!

The big-nosed guy who came in was Chan Ka-kui.

"I shouldn't have damaged so much public property in order to catch criminals, I shouldn't have vandalized those luxury cars, I shouldn't have damaged other people's decorations, I shouldn't have made the anti-triad unit lose all its funds, and I shouldn't have made the police station subsidize its expenses!" Chen Jiaju said in a deep voice after taking a deep breath.

Listen!

"Ah!"

Lin Zhengyi chuckled lightly, then looked at Chen Jiaju with a half-smile and said, "Is this your apology, or are you trying to sarcasticly criticize me? What do you mean by 'I shouldn't have damaged so much official business, vandalized luxury cars, and damaged decorations' in order to catch criminals? Are you saying that I value money more than the mission?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaju hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. After all, you haven't been here these past few days and don't know about these things, nor are you involved in them!"

"So that's about Yin and Yang?" Lin Zhengyi asked with a half-smile.

"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Chen Jiaju hurriedly explained upon hearing this.

If this gets out, he'll definitely be punished even more severely.

What was originally just a demotion will likely result in a two-level demotion.

Hearing Chen Jiaju's explanation, Lin Zhengyi smiled and shook his head.

He also knew that Chen Jiaju wasn't being sarcastic or sarcastic when he said those things; given his impulsive nature, he would never have such intentions.

However, on the other hand, the other party's reckless personality of saying whatever comes to mind is indeed not good.

Sometimes, what is said unintentionally can be taken to heart by the listener. He may not have meant anything by it, but if someone overhears it and it gets spread around, then those in power won't care whether he meant it or not; as long as they hear it, that's all that matters.

Thinking about it!

"You'd better watch your mouth from now on!"

After offering this advice, Lin Zhengyi didn't dwell on it any further. He knew that Chen Jiaju was just that kind of person; even if he tried to persuade him and the other party listened, he might not necessarily change. So, he changed the subject and said, "Alright, let's get down to business!"

"I know you're looking for me because you must have heard about the meeting they're planning to hold to demote you, and you want to see if I can get them to change their minds, right?"

Lin Zhengyi knew Chen Jiaju's thoughts without even having to guess.

Listen!

Chan Ka-kui nodded quickly and said, "That's right, sir, that's exactly what I meant. Imagine how miserable I would be if I finally got promoted and then got demoted again!"

Hear this!

"You're miserable? You brought this on yourself. Those things were indeed destroyed by you!" Lin Zhengyi said calmly.

“Coco, Coco, those are all things that Inspector Wang asked me to do. You’re not here, but I can’t not do them. I can’t disobey Inspector Wang’s orders!” Chen Jiaju said with a conflicted expression.

Even now, he still believes that if Wang Defa hadn't given him those tasks, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

“You haven’t realized your mistakes yet. If you learn from Yang Gui and be more cautious in handling cases in the future, then even if Wang Defa gives you a task and you can’t refuse, so what? Those cases within the reasonable scope wouldn’t have led you to this end!” Lin Zhengyi pointed out Chen Jiaju’s problems bluntly.

Ultimately, Wang Defa's scheme stemmed from Chen Jiaju's recklessness.

If Chan Ka-kui had been a little more composed, he wouldn't have handled so many cases that the anti-triad unit's budget was completely depleted.

"Yes, yes, yes, I've realized my mistake, but what do you think I should do?" Chen Jiaju readily admitted his mistake, but couldn't help asking again.

listen!

Lin Zhengyi said, "I have two solutions for your current situation!"

Chapter 762 Star Creation

"Two kinds!?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaju's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly asked, "Then what should I do?"

“First of all, you need to know that although the higher-ups are preparing to hold a meeting to discuss demoting you, in general, you haven’t been demoted yet. Under this premise, you still have time to turn the situation around!” Lin Zhengyi said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaju nodded in agreement with Lin Zhengyi's idea.

indeed!

The higher-ups have this intention, but a meeting hasn't been held yet to explicitly demote him.

This means that his current position remains unchanged, and there is still some time before it changes.

At this moment!

Lin Zhengyi continued, "With this time, things become much easier. You can use this time to change the higher-ups' minds, or make it difficult for them to implement their ideas. Therefore, I have two solutions!"

"Firstly, why would your superiors decide to demote you because you consumed too much funding? Simply put, your merits and demerits don't offset each other!"

“You handled a good case, but the case itself wasn’t very big, and your merits weren’t great either. You also caused a lot of losses, and the value of these losses far exceeded the value of the case you handled. So your faults outweigh your merits, which means that your merits and faults don’t cancel each other out, and your faults outweigh your merits. That’s why the higher-ups have to punish you.”

"If you want to change the higher-ups' mind, you have to make the good outweigh the bad. Only then will they change their minds."

"To ensure your merits outweigh your demerits, you need to solve a major case during this period. As long as the case is big enough, your superiors will naturally not punish you anymore!"

Hear this!

Chan Ka-kui first glanced at the camera, then couldn't help but say dejectedly, "Inspector Lam, I understand your thinking, but the problem is, the meeting can only be held within a week at most, and how can I possibly solve a major case within a week?"

“Those major cases aren’t like fruit stands on the street, where you can just see them and find them anywhere!”

This was the biggest problem in Lin Zhengyi's first plan.

Major cases are not easy to find.

In this situation, even if Chen Jiaju is highly capable, so what?

No matter how capable you are, there's nothing you can do if you can't find a case!

"I know!"

Lin Zhengyi nodded and said, "This method does rely too much on luck, but if you're really lucky and encounter a major case this week, you might be able to keep your position!"

"However, I have a second option!"

"How can it be difficult for those above to implement their ideas?"

"It's very simple. Expose yourself, get on the news, trend on social media, fill yourself with public opinion, and attract the public's attention. During this period, it will be difficult for the authorities to take action against you, because once they do, the news will be on the news."

Chen Jiaju frowned as he listened, still finding it somewhat difficult to understand.

To this!

Lin Zhengyi could see that he didn't understand, so he could only explain with a little helplessness, "Although from our point of view, when you were handling the case, your merits outweighed your demerits and your demerits outweighed your merits, so you must be punished, in the eyes of the public, they can only see your merits and will not think about the losses you caused in the process of solving the case."

“If you are demoted under these circumstances, it will cause a great deal of public opinion, which is unacceptable to the higher-ups. So as long as you have the Quotations on you and attract the attention of the masses, the higher-ups will not be able to take action against you during this period!”

"Oh!"

After listening, Chen Jiaju finally began to understand.

But soon!

A new question arose in his mind.

He wondered, "But how can I fill myself with public opinion? How can I attract the attention of the masses? Besides, even if I attract the attention of the masses and am filled with public opinion, at most the authorities will not deal with me during this period. But public opinion always expires, right? What will I do after that?"

Hearing these words, Lin Zhengyi glanced at Chen Jiaju with slight surprise, then couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be so smart this time. What you mentioned is indeed a problem."

"However, now that I've said it, there's naturally no major problem!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Later, I'll find you a reporter, and then I'll find you a small case. Then I'll have the reporter film at a designated location, and you'll act like you're bravely apprehending a criminal in front of the reporter!"

"Then, the reporter will record this scene and put you on the news the next day!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiaju said with a hint of excitement, "In that case, I'll be surrounded by public opinion and attract the attention of the masses?"

Seeing his excited expression, Lin Zhengyi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, only nodded and said, "That's right!"

Of course, things are not that simple.

When Lin Zhengyi returns, he will ask Lin Yaodong to help him find major newspapers and periodicals to expose Chen Jiaju's affairs and the cases he solved in the past, thus portraying him as a brave and capable detective.

Only then can the plan be considered complete.

To put it bluntly, it's the same approach used by future celebrities: buy trending topics, cultivate an image, and turn Chen Jiaju into a celebrity cop, so that the authorities will naturally find it difficult to touch him.

But there's no need for Chen Jiaju to know about what happened after that.

Given his personality, he can't keep secrets. If they get out, it won't have a good impact.

At this moment!

Lin Zhengyi added, "Of course, these are just the first steps, just to prevent the higher-ups from taking action against you at this time due to public opinion."

"But once this gust of wind passes, things will go back to the way they always have!"

"So, the next step, solving the case, is of course not the same as the first method of finding a big case. The first method of finding a big case was due to time constraints, because there wasn't much time left before the meeting to demote you."

"Therefore, you can only find big cases, because only big cases can bring great merit, and only great merit can offset your mistakes and the losses you have caused during this period."

"The second method is that by the time you've already attracted public attention and media attention in the first step, the higher-ups won't dare to easily take action against you during this period, giving you enough time to solve the case!"

"Big cases are hard to find, but aren't small cases easy to find?"

"Perhaps one or two minor cases can't make up for your mistakes, but what if there are three or four, four or five, or even five or six?"

"As long as you handle more cases and make more contributions, there will naturally be no reason for your superiors to demote you."

Hearing Lin Zhengyi's words, Chen Jiaju's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He could almost see himself being exempted from punishment.

But in an instant, he couldn't help but worry, "What if I cause losses in these cases?"

Listen!

Lin Zhengyi smiled.

Chen Jiaju is like someone who's been bitten by a snake once and is now afraid of ropes for ten years!

The losses from the cases he solved previously, which led to his demotion, have left him with psychological trauma, making him afraid of causing further losses in future cases!

Immediately!
