In the evening, Director George took a break from his busy day, and just thinking about the large group of reporters surrounding the police station gave him a headache.
These reporters were all after the headline news, waiting to interview Bai Ye after he left.
To prevent the situation from escalating and to protect Bai Ye's personal information, he had sent Bai Ye and his lawyer out the back door of the police station in advance.
Now, all of New York was buzzing about the bank robbery, especially the fact that the police hadn't been able to handle it in half a day, but a young man had killed them all in a matter of minutes. This was truly sensational.
Add to that Bai Ye's striking appearance, and both the "looks" fans and the "plot" fans were interested and paying attention to the matter.
After an afternoon of development, the internet even gave Bai Ye nicknames like "Savior of the New York Police" and "21st Century Robin Hood."
On television, the news anchor said solemnly, "This shameful defeat of the New York police has become the biggest topic in the American police world. Former New York Police Department Director Hoover commented on it, and the always decisive former director said the New York police's actions were truly embarrassing..."
Mayor Adams of New York City turned off the video on the screen and looked back at the high-ranking officials in the police department, saying, "You all know the public opinion of your police department in New York City right now. It has seriously affected the government's image in the eyes of the citizens. This matter must be resolved immediately."
At this moment in the conference room, the high-ranking police officers were all muttering to themselves, wondering why the mayor, who had previously let the police do whatever they wanted, was suddenly so concerned today.
But only a few people, like George, knew that the mayor was worried about the upcoming election and how it would affect his approval rating, which was why he was suddenly paying so much attention.
"The key is the key. No matter what, you must resolve this matter. I've summoned you here to get a plan from you on how to solve it." The mayor looked at George, "Since no one is speaking, let the chief speak first. After all, you were involved in the whole thing."
George didn't expect it to involve him and stood up helplessly, saying, "I think we should strengthen the professionalism of the police officers, strengthen their training..."
"Alright, alright, you don't need to say more. What you said makes sense, but what I want is a way to immediately reverse public opinion." The mayor quickly stopped him and turned to the deputy chief, "Do you have any ideas?"
"I do have an idea." The deputy chief hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying, "Since the police department's public opinion is caused by that young man, why don't we just recruit him?"
"Recruitment?" The mayor pondered.
"Yes, the entire New York City is comparing that young man's abilities to our police department. In that case, why don't we just recruit him?" The deputy director suggested, and the mayor's eyes lit up.
"As long as we issue a public statement that our police department has learned from its mistakes and has brought the young man who solved the bank robbery into the force, the public's attention will be focused solely on him."
"And it will also give the citizens the feeling that the government is listening to their opinions, reversing the negative perception of being aloof," the deputy director mused, the more he spoke, the more feasible his method seemed.
"But that guy hasn't even graduated from high school. Are we really going to make an exception and let him join the police force? There's never been a precedent for this," George stated.
"What's the problem? We don't have to make him an officer directly. We'll bring him in as a special consultant to the police. He won't even need to investigate cases. We'll just use his name to support us," the deputy director explained.
"Later on, we can promote him as a rising star in the police force. With his looks, we can even change the government's image."
"Good, your idea is very practical. Let's go with your plan," the mayor of New York decided immediately, then looked at George and said, "Since the deputy director has come up with the idea, you should be the one to execute it."
"Ah? Me...?" George pointed at himself helplessly. "Otherwise, among everyone here, you're the one who has the most contact with that young man. Who else should we send?" The mayor said matter-of-factly.
George looked around and found that his colleagues had subconsciously distanced themselves from him.
The mayor looked at George and said lightly, "This matter concerns the government's honor. I remember you've been the chief for almost five years. I hope you won't slack off in this final term and work hard."
Faced with this blatant threat, George nodded helplessly, "I understand. I will talk to him and try to get him to join the police department."
"Not try, but definitely." The mayor emphasized.
You have completed a weighted squat for a total of 21,543 reps. Mental attribute upper limit increased to 1.6.
As the description changed, Bai Ye gently put down the three barbells on his body.
The sky outside the gym was already dark, and it was late at night. Having squatted at full speed for seven or eight hours in a row, Bai Ye didn't feel tired at all, only the hunger after prolonged exercise.
"Are we stopping here for today?" Smith asked.
"You can go back first. I'll stay here tonight," Bai Ye said.
His family background was certainly being investigated thoroughly now. Going back would definitely mean being hounded by those reporters camped out at his home. Since the club owner said he could stay here 24 hours, he might as well treat it as his home for now.
Feeling hungry, Bai Ye walked out of the club and headed towards the shops outside. However, a phone call changed his plans.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on his phone, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello, who is this? And how did you get my number?"
"Is this Bai Ye? This is Police Chief George. We met today. I have some matters concerning the police department I'd like to discuss with you. What are you doing now?"
Police Chief George? Bai Ye recalled the middle-aged man he had seen this morning. The voice did sound the same.
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not doing anything at the moment. I was planning to go have dinner."
"Is that so? I haven't eaten dinner either. If you don't mind, why don't you come to my place for dinner?" George invited over the phone.
'Dinner…' Bai Ye frowned slightly, not understanding the other party's intentions, but it shouldn't be anything bad. After all, if they really wanted to harm him, there was no reason to bring him to their own home.
"Alright, Director. Where is your place now? I'll head over there immediately." Bai Ye nodded.
He jotted down George's phone number, hung up, and headed straight to his house. But before he could leave, another call came in, also from an unknown number.
Recruitment... The next line of Recruitment, wouldn't it be something like "Recruit what bird, and then kill Tokyo, and seize the bird's throne?"
