Suspension from work usually leads to only two outcomes:
One, after a period of cold treatment, you return to your original position; the other, as a disciplinary measure, you're reassigned to another department.
Su Man didn't know which one awaited her.
Her parents, while leveraging their status and connections to create a comfortable environment for her, wouldn't indulge or shield her, so Su Man had to face the consequences this time.
A perfectly good job—this was how she ruined it.

As evening approached, she stayed at home and groomed herself, preparing for a long-awaited date.
While fixing her hair in front of the mirror, she reflexively thought: she truly didn't like being a traffic cop. Although the suspension left her frustrated and a little indignant, she wasn't particularly heartbroken. In fact, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
