I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

Chapter 483 - 286: Another Lonely Rest (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Li Xiang shared the good news that Fan Yonglin told him with everyone, and the members of the guidance team grinned from ear to ear, feeling very happy.

After a year of hard work, being recognized with merits at the year-end summary and commendation meeting is naturally exhilarating.

"It’s all thanks to Captain Li’s leadership, guiding us to solve one major case after another."

Everyone also knew that without Li Xiang, they wouldn’t have been able to solve two major cases consecutively in the two to three months leading up to the New Year.

These two cases, taken individually, would have taken years to solve.

Before joining the guidance team, they had also been involved in major case special teams.

For chain cases, cases within cases, cold cases, which of these couldn’t take years to solve?

Some cold cases remain unsolved to this day.

Being able to solve a cold case within a year is already a significant achievement.

After all, the overall level of public security across regions is relatively good; encountering a major case only happens once in several years.

This makes it all the more precious that they could solve two major cases in just two to three months.

Back at the provincial headquarters, they originally thought only Director Fan would come to greet them, as Captain Li coming the first time already showed great respect for their guidance team.

A second visit wasn’t necessary.

But unexpectedly, Captain Li still came.

"Welcome back. As usual, I’ll give everyone a week off. Go home and rest well. In a week, we’ll have the commendation meeting."

With just one sentence, Captain Li again elevated his popularity significantly.

Following a leader like this, no matter how difficult or tiring, is worth it.

At least the leader sees your efforts.

Unlike some leaders who only notice you when you’re resting, ignoring your hard work.

"Captain Li really understands us. We thought this time we wouldn’t get the break back."

"Yes, just on the way back, we were wondering if we could go home and rest for a week like last time, and unexpectedly, it came true."

"Captain Li, we love you."

Facing the enthusiastic female members of the guidance team, Captain Li blushed slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Too late, the name is already taken."

"Haha～"

The leader joking around made him more approachable to everyone.

"Go back early. See you in a week, and Li Xiang, don’t run off just yet. I have something to discuss with you."

Li Xiang was the first to run, fearing the leader would have more tasks for him.

Whenever the leader wanted to discuss something, it was over.

His vacation might be jeopardized.

Sure enough, just as he turned and took two steps, Captain Li called him back.

Li Xiang turned around, with a face harder than crying, and said, "Captain Li, can’t it wait until next week?"

"Can’t wait. During the month and a half you were in Nanchong, my phone has been blowing up. Come to my office first; there’s something I need to discuss with you."

Captain Li completely ignored Li Xiang’s expression and said seriously.

While Li Xiang was working on the case, artificial intelligence stirred a storm at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with dozens of AI experts researching "Xiaomu," even dissecting its code and examining it under a microscope.

After their examination, they came to an astonishing conclusion: the artificial intelligence system named "Xiaomu" wasn’t yet in its complete form.

Because many modules were left with only an interface by Li Xiang, and the rest were not provided.

This shocked them. The incomplete version was already leading the world.

What about the complete version?

Unimaginable.

At Academician Ma’s recommendation, a group of scholars found Captain Li, asking for Li Xiang to be handed over.

How could he accede to that?

Sending Li Xiang off now would be like sending buns to a dog; he wouldn’t return.

By then, Li Xiang wouldn’t belong to the provincial department anymore but the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

An unprofitable trade is unacceptable.

Li Xiang is a priceless treasure, irreplaceable by any amount of money.

Ownership must be determined first; until then, he wouldn’t let Li Xiang appear.

After long negotiations, Li Zhongqing finally concluded the talks.

He knew that his fate was now bound with Li Xiang’s, and only with Li Xiang by his side could he advance further.

He was already a high-ranking official; this step was crucial. For it to be stable, Li Xiang was the key to the key.

Meanwhile, for Li Xiang to stand on the same front as him, he needed to secure enough benefits for Li Xiang. Otherwise, the relationship wouldn’t hold.

Win-win is the way to go further.

So, after over a month of political maneuvering, Li Zhongqing gained the upper hand.

There’s no way around it; as long as the Chinese Academy of Sciences wanted Li Xiang’s help, they must compromise.

"Alright, make it quick. I promised my wife to buy groceries and cook tonight."

Li Zhongqing: "..." You don’t realize there’s immense fortune awaiting you.

Sometimes, he was quite envious of Li Xiang. With a pure mind, if he had this skill, he’d have risen to the top of the academic world long ago.

And what about him?

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is frantic, yet he’s focused on buying groceries for his wife.

All the way to Li Zhongqing’s office, this time Fan Yonglin didn’t come along, as their upcoming conversation required confidentiality, and even with Fan Yonglin’s position, he needed to avoid suspicion.

"Your candidate status for an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has come through. This time, instead of three, 23 academics vouched for you. With this endorsement, barring any surprises, after the review period, you’ll become the youngest academician in the country."

Li Zhongqing’s statement left Li Xiang stunned: I’m becoming an academician?
