Chapter 322 Meritocracy? Nearly nonexistent!
Yang Qingyue didn't reply and typed something on the keyboard, and clicked the mouse. She turned the monitor for Cai Ning to look. "Watch the video. It just happened, less than 30 minutes ago."
Cai Ning leaned forward. Her expression turned serious as she watched the kidnapping unfold. As a police officer, her mind remained steady and calm. Her eyes searched for any missing detail that could help the case.
Her brain laid out several plans to solve the crisis. Cai Ning breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Ling Qingyu's guards taking action. "Fortunately, it's over. But our work isn't done. What else do I have to keep in mind?"
"Alright, we don't need to care too much except for directing our subordinates." Yang Qingyue smiled and described what she knew so far.
"So, it really is a war between Sister Ling and Tiger gang. How on earth the two share grievance?"
"Simple. They don't. The gang leader's son assassinated Sister Ling and we know what happened next though we don't speak." Yang Qingyue continued, seeing Cai Ning nod. "Sister Ling says the guards would be directly taking action against those gangs and tell us to prepare."
"We aren't wiping their ass always, do we?" Cai Ning joked.
"No, they'll take direct action raids, checkpoints, and send us good intel." Yang Qingyue unveiled everything she had discussed with Ling Qingyu. "It seems like a good opportunity for us."
"It sure is. Then, allow me to leave, Sister Yang. I probably have affairs to handle after all this." Cai Ning stood up and cleaned the wrinkles, then smiled and left the room.
Yang Qingyue stayed in a seat as time ticked by, until another phone call disturbed her thought. She pursed her lips and got into a comfortable position before answering. "Mom, why did you remember to call me?"
"My lovely daughter, am I the type of person who cherishes work than loved ones?" A mature charming voice teased.
Yang Qingyue complained. "You haven't call me for more than a week, apart from cases related to work."
"Ahem. Alright, alright. Mom is guilty but isn't she just worried?" Yang's Mom said in a blaming tone. Even from the sound, Yang Qingyue knew she had succeeded in embarrassing her mother.
"Mom, don't dwindle around. Just shoot. I'll be honest." Yang Qingyue massaged her forehead.
"Tsk…as a filial daughter, can't you accompany me more? How's your work?"

"You should already know." Yang Qingyue replied as she observed the clock on the desk. By now, her mother should have received the news about the rescue operation.
"I'm pleased that you know what's at stake here." Yang Mama said. "The heat erupts so much that it alarms the capital. Don't worry about those old hags bothering you, I'll keep you covered."
"Thanks, Mum."
"Well, are you not going to say anything?"
"Like what?"
"What's their origin? I'm really sure they aren't your city SWAT. I might not have cared last time because I thought they were temporarily regrouped members. Now I can see the organization from their actions." Mama Yang explained her doubt.
"As always, you have the sharpest eyes." Yang Qingyue sighed, not knowing what to do.
"Don't say it if you don't want to." Mama Yang immediately sensed her daughter's mood. "But you better be prepared to lay out excuses when someone asks why there are no name lists and records of your special unit."
"Gotcha."
"And I've asked my friends from special forces. They watched the videos again and again and made several judgments. High-level intensity of training can be seen. Strict discipline yet flexible. Superb weapons manipulation. I even heard excitement from them, asking me to allow the military to recruit your unit."
"Ah!" Yang Qingyue was stunned. "This…this seems like a big problem." In fact, Yang Qingyue knew their skills but to receive such high level of praise from the military special force members, she never dared imagine.
"What? Based on your words, the backgrounds appear problematic?"
"Mom! When can I even hide things from you? Remember your previous promise." Yang Qingyue whined, eliciting giggles from the other side. She rolled her eyes at her mother's behavior.
"I'm serious. Will they have an impact on your career?"
"Will not. I'm certain—I can't say the reason but I'll vouch my heart."
"Girl, you really start to learn to hide things from your mother. Listen, things will get serious. Everyone will want to cut the pies from you. Make sure those guys really obey your command and won't be bought easily by others." Mama Yang warned. Stay connected through empire
"Cut pies?" Yang Qingyue was confused.
"Everyone wants a capable unit under their control to light up their careers. No one wants to give up. That's why I ask whether they'll obey your command." Mama Yang showed an example.
"Then, there's no need to worry about being bought since they can't. They did this work because they loved the job. As for money and other treatment…hehehe" Yang Qingyue said proudly.
"Since you're so sure, then the problem is settled. However, you still have to fight against your superior or other colleagues in your province." Mama Yang said.
"Who? The commissioner? That old man still likes to rob mine. I thought I gave him a good lesson."
"Of course not directly but you must remember old people have their own way. They're more mature in terms of politics and officialdom." Mama Yang said. "Take this as a test for your career. I won't interfere. You need growth. And don't think I didn't help because it's not just your province that's reaching out.
I'll hold the rest off for you. But you must solve your predicament."
"Guaranteed to satisfy you, mother." Yang Qingyue replied seriously. "But are their skills worthing that much attention? I'm really puzzled."
"I have the same reaction as yours initially. Only after experts' meticulous explanation, I understand that your units definitely deserve such attention." Mama Yang praised. "It seems you'll walk further than me in your career. Looks like your argument against me to stay in Province N has deep contemplations."
"That's for sure. With so many merits, it's no wonder my promotion is unstoppable. Only through chaos would there be a ladder." Yang Qingyue replied, despite thinking opposites. She merely sought justice and enjoyment by helping others. However, who made her mother so pragmatic?
"You, little prick. If not for your mother's help, can you even rise up the ladder at a young age?" Mama Yang chided. "What about those old uncles and aunties, serving for so many years with numerous credits, yet receiving little promotion, Huh?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"You can't compare them with me. I graduated from university and underwent numerous training sessions and workshops." Yang Qingyue disagreed.
"Hey!" Mama Yang laughed as if mocking Yang Qingyue's simple mind. "Oh! Do you know why you can have such an opportunity? Will the higher-ups above you bother to look at your merits and accomplishments with only just you?"
"Eh, Isn't it?" Yang Qingyue's voice turned weak. "I did my best okay. Hmph! Mother, look at my CVs, who can achieve what I did among the police force."
"Alright, my daughter is the best." Mama Yang stopped the topic. She knew her daughter was aware of the real affair rather than the illusory meritocracy.
"Anyway, Mom. Thanks for your care. Without you, I might not be where I am." Yang Qingyue spoke.
"I feel like I'm more energetic!" Mama Yang's amused tone returned.
