Chapter 66: Early Packaging

  Ma Chao came back from his errand and went to find Han Qin to discuss the Li Benjie case. He saw that Han Qin had several large bloodstains on his arm, which looked very exaggerated with the red medicine on them. Ma Chao asked in surprise: "Big brother, what's going on with this injury? Did you get into another fight with them?" Ma Chao had been in fights since he was young, so he naturally knew that men fighting wouldn't usually leave such marks - they looked more like scratches from a woman! However, Ma Chao didn't dare say anything.

  Han Qin looked at the several marks on his arm, and with a bitter smile, told Ma Chao about what happened yesterday. Originally planning to go to People's Square with Song Wenfei for a big meal, he didn't expect to end up covered in mud, and was even chased by the police to make a statement, after all, it was two lives, the police also had to have an explanation!

  Two men were discussing, when they heard someone knocking on the courtyard gate. Han Qin went to open the door and saw two men standing at the entrance. One was over 40 years old, pale and thin; the other was about the same age as Han Qin, chubby and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking like the interpreter from the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". Both were dressed in black leather shoes, dark trousers, white shirts, with a briefcase under their arms, giving off the standard image of government officials.

  Seeing Han Qin, the fair-skinned middle-aged man smiled and said: "Excuse me, are you Comrade Han Qin?" Han Qin nodded and said: "Yes, I am Han Qin. Do you two have something to do with me?"

  A middle-aged man smiled and said: "We are from the Municipal Propaganda Department. There is an important matter that we need to discuss with you."

  Han Qin saw that they couldn't make themselves clear in a few words, so he let the two of them into his house. Seeing another young man in the living room, the middle-aged man took a casual glance but didn't say anything.

  Ma Chao also understood the situation and smiled: "Big brother, I'll go back first. If there's anything, we can contact each other by phone!"

  When they saw no outsiders, the chubby young man introduced: "This is Director Sun of the Municipal Party Committee's Propaganda Department." Han Qin politely smiled and said: "Director Sun, hello."

  Director Sun smiled and said: "Comrade Han Qin, how are you? Where did Comrade Han Qin graduate from?"

  It is said that Han Qin is a civil servant in the municipal government, Director Sun smiled and said: "Comrade Xiao Han, we are all working in the organization, and we can be considered half-fellows, please cooperate with our work!"

  Hearing Sun Chu Zhang say this, Han Qin was a bit puzzled. A department-level cadre from the municipal party committee's propaganda department was quite arrogant, what kind of matter would make them so polite?

  Han Qin smiled and said: "Director Sun, you're being polite. Whatever it is, just say it, and I'll do my best to make it happen!"

  After circling around, Director Sun finally got to the point: "The municipal party committee leaders saw the news about your brave pursuit of the robbers and attached great importance to it. They instructed our propaganda department to vigorously publicize this, create a model, and launch a learning activity throughout the city, calling on all citizens to fight against the 'Flying Car Party' and 'Chopping Hand Party', and eradicate this stubborn public security problem once and for all. We came here to ask Comrade Han Qin to cooperate with us in doing a good job of promoting this event!"

  It turns out that's the case! The city should indeed make a big effort to crack down on the "chopping hands" gang. Now citizens are in danger when they go out, and many female comrades don't even dare to carry bags or wear earrings and necklaces! Besides, being able to be molded into a model for the whole city shouldn't have any drawbacks, right?!

  Han Qin asked: "Director Sun, what can I do for you then?"

  Director Sun smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Han, you may also know that in order to make the propaganda achieve the expected effect, it is necessary to make some necessary decorations and adjustments to the event... The literary and art circles call this packaging."

  Han Qin laughed as soon as he heard it and said with a smile: "Director Sun, how are you planning to package it?"

  Director Sun looked at Han Qin and said, "We still have to respect the facts themselves, but we can strengthen some details." After a pause, Director Sun asked, "Comrade Xiao Han, was the girl who was robbed your girlfriend?"

  This Director Sun is just a mid-level cadre in the Propaganda Department, and may not even know the daughter of the Organization Department head. Even if he does know her, his relationship with Song Wenfei will have to be made public sooner or later. An unmarried man and an unmarried woman, young people dating each other don't have anything to hide!

  Han Qin said straightforwardly: "Yes, she is my girlfriend."

  Director Sun nodded and immediately reminded him, "Comrade Xiao Han, in the upcoming publicity activities, when being interviewed by the media, don't say that the girl is your girlfriend, but rather a stranger."

  Han Qin frowned, and Sun Chu Zhang immediately said: "Comrade Xiao Han, no other meaning. Seeing injustice on the road and drawing a knife to help, can this better highlight the heroic image?"

  It's really a propaganda material! Director Sun took a glance at the chubby young man, who immediately understood, opened his briefcase, pulled out two printed drafts, and handed them to Han Qin.

  Young comrade smiled diligently: "Comrade Han Qin, this is the speech we have written for you. When the TV reporter interviews you, just follow this and speak accordingly. Please cooperate with our work and absolutely do not improvise on the spot. If something that can't be unified in tone appears, it will also make things difficult for us. Thank you!"

  Han Qin roughly looked over those two pages of speech draft and didn't find anything special, just some empty words and clichés about elevating thought awareness.

  The fat young man smiled and said: "Comrade Han Qin, because this arrangement is more urgent and time is limited, please hurry up to memorize the content above. When the TV station interviews you, you must recite it from memory."

  With a flick of her tongue, Qin Han said, "Do I need to memorize these two pages? I have the skill of never forgetting what I've seen!"

  Director Sun saw that Han Qin was aware of the overall situation and was very cooperative with their work, so he smiled very satisfactorily and said: "Comrade Han Qin, then please come with us to the hospital! The car is waiting outside!"

  Go to the hospital? Then this body doesn't need to be checked, right! Yesterday, Song Wenfei took Han Qin to the First People's Hospital and gave him a thorough physical examination. The small heads of the hospital saw that the deputy director's daughter was so attentive, and they all understood that this handsome young man had an unusual relationship with her. They all vied to show off, giving Han Qin a very careful check-up!

  After the examination, except for a slight scratch on the skin, there was no abnormality in the whole body! Song Wenfei was still worried and accompanied Han Qin to the observation room until dark before letting him leave! When she returned home, Song Wenfei called again after a while, repeatedly reminding him that if he felt unwell, he should go to the hospital immediately! Han Qin smiled: "Wenfei, if you're really worried, I'll just follow you and live with you! Let me tell you, with my physique, even if I fell from an airplane, nothing would happen!" Song Wenfei was still uneasy, how could Han Qin not be injured at all in such a severe car accident?!

  "Thanks, Director Sun. I don't need to go to the hospital, I already had a check-up yesterday and my body is fine, just a minor abrasion. I've applied some red medicine and taken some cefalexin capsules for inflammation."

  Director Sun smiled awkwardly: "Comrade Xiao Han, this... the body is one aspect, the municipal leaders have decided to visit you in the hospital room, which will have a better propaganda effect..."

  Hearing Director Sun say this, Han Qin also understood, and this was also part of the packaging!

  The First People's Hospital received a notice from the Health Bureau to fully cooperate with the work of the Propaganda Department, and had prepared a luxurious ward for high-ranking officials, waiting for Han Qin to move in, and was equipped with two beautiful female nurses! The main leaders of the city are coming, this is a representative work of the hospital's image, the hospital's leaders dare not be careless!

  When Director Sun accompanied Han Qin into the high-ranking official's ward, two pretty little nurses had already tidied up the room spotlessly. On the bedside table was a vase of fresh flowers in full bloom! As soon as Han Qin entered, the nurse helped him change into hospital clothes and cooed softly for him to lie down on the bed and rest.

  Look at the vigorous Han Qin, Director Sun always felt that something was missing. After some thought, he suddenly realized! It lacked a heroic mark, such a shocking scene, not even a single injury, people who didn't know the inside story would definitely think it was fake!

  Director Sun said to the nurse: "Quickly go and get your surgical doctor over here, bring plaster and bandages, and wrap Comrade Han Qin's arm!"
