Knowing the end of the world, I recruited the golden finger to lead the motherland

Chapter 26 National Idol
"… That is all I have to report. Please give me your instructions, Director."

The last branch director finished his report and the video conference fell into silence for a moment.

Yan Ning sat on the special plane to Jiangxi, propped up his forehead with two fingers and listened to the whole process, then he spoke:
"The screening points in various places are mostly concentrated in research institutes, communities, hospitals, police stations and the military, but what about rural suburbs, orphanages, schools, and temples?

"We already have the "fire sources" linked to schools and mental illness, so why not add these places? If there is a shortage of manpower, we can work together with various systems to handle the case. Don't just focus on crowded places, but also various types of transportation. If there are reborn people who are not controlled in advance, they are likely to be exposed to the public.

"All major media platforms must keep a close eye on it, and we must also tighten control over online opinion. Now is not the time to expose asteroid fragments. Wait a little longer until we have estimated the basic safe zone coordinates and can give the public an absolute sense of security. When everything is back on track, please give us a few more days. Thank you for your hard work."

It’s not that we won’t notify you, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

In the absence of a safety plan, all the exposure will only increase panic, causing a surge in crime rates and malicious sabotage by those with ulterior motives.

"clear."

"Don't worry, Chief."

The heads of each branch in the video conference nodded in response.

After a few more bureau regulations, the meeting ended.

"Huh..." Yan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of fatigue finally came over him.

too tired.

Even an agent can't be so cruel. It makes my brain feel like it's rusted and painful.

"Director, you should take a rest first. We will have a routine meeting after we land. You skipped yesterday's meeting, and the boss specifically notified us to move it to today. No more accidents can happen." Bai Jiu reminded in a low voice.

A single absence can be said to be a work requirement, special circumstances can be understood, and one can even praise oneself for serving the country and the people.

But they dared to cancel the meeting just for your sake... They are all busy leaders, big shots that people all over the country can call upon. They all have state affairs to attend to, but they all made time for it. It would be embarrassing for even the Minister of Security to be absent if he were to do so.

"I know."

Yan Ning didn't really care. She only wanted to do things worthy of the national flag and party emblem on her shoulders and worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. She didn't crave the position of director of the 19th Bureau, but she had to shoulder the burden.

After the doomsday is over and the 19th Bureau is reorganized and disbanded, she will retire successfully.

The regular meetings were nothing more than a detailed description of the work. After all, they were all on the front line of disaster relief, and information had to be shared. It would be the same no matter who went, but Bai Jiu was worried and insisted on coming along, so she could only switch to an online reporting and speaking position.

"I'm really rebellious..." Yan Ning closed his eyes and said self-deprecatingly, "First I skipped work and then I didn't show up online. How can I get by in the system like this? I will get my comeuppance sooner or later."

"Director, you..." Bai Jiu frowned, expressing his disapproval.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more." Yan Ning stopped talking and just waved his hand. "I will attend the online meeting as soon as I land. After it's over, I will go to Longhu Mountain to meet the informant... By the way, my informant's identity is a bit special. He doesn't like to contact too many people. You can help me and Staff Officer Lu arrange the follow-up matters at the base first. The most important thing is to say hello on my behalf. It's not that I'm impolite."

What kind of informant’s identity is so special that even the adjutant can’t see him?

Bai Jiu thought about it and nodded without asking any more questions: "I understand, Chief, please be careful."

"Your micro-expression..." Yan Ning opened his eyes and glanced at Bai Jiu, then raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Forget it, it's not convenient this time, I'll introduce you to my informant when there's a chance."

When Chinese people say "there is a chance", they mean "no chance", and when they say "I'll treat you to a meal next time", it means "there won't be a next time". Bai Jiu didn't take it seriously. It was normal for an informant to have a single line of contact. She was just worried about the director's safety. After all, Yan Ning had been on a mission for so long and the domestic informant hadn't been in contact. What if something happened...

"Do not think too much."

Yan Ning seemed to have the ability to read minds. He closed his eyes and smiled tiredly: "There will be no problems with this informant. We will keep in touch at any time. Don't worry too much..."

The sound fell silent.

Bai Jiu took a look and saw that Yan Ning had fallen asleep.

Jianggan is just ahead.

…The next morning.

"Let's take a commemorative photo! Can you guys stand in a straight line?!"

"Hey, friend in front, I'm taking photos here, can you please move aside?"

"Longhu Mountain!"

Following the tourist's call, the photographer's camera swept across the endless stream of tourists on the mountain steps and aimed at the rolling mountains that meandered like a dragon and a tiger. The dragon and tiger peaks towered into the clouds, like a dragon and a tiger ready to fly, pointing directly to the blue sky and white clouds.

"The tip of the dragon's blade is like a sword, and the tip of the tiger's rock is like an axe." The photographer, who was wearing a mask, a sun hat and sunglasses and was dressed casually, sighed, "It's worthy of being a 5A-level scenic spot, it's really beautiful."

The Records of Longhu Mountain states: "The mountain was originally named Yunjin Mountain. The first generation of Heavenly Master refined the Nine Heavens Divine Pill here. When the pill was completed, a dragon and a tiger appeared, hence the name of the mountain."

It is not only a scenic spot, but also a famous Taoist mountain.

The photographer turned the camera to look down the mountain and suddenly stopped.

In the crowd, a handsome, tall and elegant young man was standing at the foot of the mountain. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, white trousers, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. Just a glance at him showed that he had an extremely outstanding temperament, and the camera couldn't help but turn away.

Clean and bookish.

They should be college students who come to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.

At the moment captured by the camera, the young man instantly turned his eyes away, looking like a hawk staring at its prey.

The photographer's hands trembled, but the next second the young man smiled with relief and even waved to her. The light and shadows between the trees were vivid and lifelike.

and many more……

The photographer suddenly looked up and said "WTF" involuntarily, then ran downstairs and said in surprise: "You really came back? I didn't recognize you! Did you change the photo again..."

"Zhang Yuanshuang, you can shout louder," Yan Ning raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's better to let everyone hear. I will shout with you, and we can see who shouts louder, you or me."

Zhang Yuanshuang immediately shut his mouth.

A passing tourist who was chatting with his companions immediately turned his head with suspicion.

"What's wrong?" asked a companion nearby puzzledly.

"I just suddenly heard the name of my idol Zhang Yuanshuang."

"Oh, that sweet princess, the nation's first love, the one who has been particularly famous recently...ah, you really like her, I don't like her, it's all just a character setting..."

"Hey, what's wrong with me just liking her personality? Why are you so malicious?"

The two of them drifted apart.

Zhang Yuanshuang was silent for a few seconds, then he hugged Yan Ning's arm and said with a grin, "Oh, I just didn't expect you to come so soon. I thought I had to wait a little longer. You are so busy."

Moreover, Yan Ning is different from ordinary plainclothes SWAT police. As long as she wants to disguise herself, she is impeccable. Her eyes and posture can blend in at will. However, she is unexpectedly wary and intuitive towards the camera.

It is also an occupational disease.

She didn't recognize it at all just now.

"Where is that person?" Yan Ning didn't spend much time reminiscing about the past.

Being exposed to the public is the norm for idols, and even being talked about in person is part of the job. High salaries and high fame will inevitably require sacrificing some private freedom.

"Oh, come with me," Zhang Yuanshuang said, "At the foot of the mountain, I feel something is wrong with that fortune teller! He is almost being rumored to be a living god. I have to wrap myself up more tightly. Come with me!"
