Noon, Dongzhou City Public Security Bureau, small cafeteria
Chen Shu, Chen Chuan, and Cheng Mian were sitting on a small round table by the window in the small canteen, eating lunch.
Since the city bureau canceled the property company that outsourced the canteen, the canteen was managed by the police who were adapted from the original border defense force cooking class.
There are fewer service staff in the canteen to say "hello" and "please have a meal", but the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the canteen have been greatly improved.
Police officers who work in the city bureau are willing to come to the cafeteria to eat, and they will even invite their families to eat in the bureau during dinner time. Firstly, it is convenient, secondly, it is cheap, and most importantly, the food is really better than outside and it is hygienic.
.
After the three of them sat down, Chen Chuan stared at Chen Shu for a long time. After Cheng Mian deliberately interrupted, Chen Chuan, who had a direct relationship with the provincial department, laughed playfully.
"Referring to 'deputy unit'? So you still value the deputy unit? I thought you already regarded the rank as nothing and only served the people wholeheartedly."
As soon as Chen Chuan said these words, Cheng Mian was even more confused. He had no idea what Chen Shu, who had come to the city bureau to seek advice from him today, meant.
Chen Shu smiled and waved his hand, knowing that Chen Chuan must have known about the fact that Director Lin Dakai of the Provincial Police Academy came to transfer him to school.
When Chen Chuan saw that he was still unwilling to say it, he deliberately joked: "At that time in the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, I didn't know who was pretending to be confused in front of me? Why, are you planning to continue pretending today?
?"
Director Lin from the Donghai Provincial Police Academy came to Dongzhou City in person, ostensibly to investigate the Lamborghini kidnapping case, but in reality he was planning to see with his own eyes the documents that captured the criminal, and then take him back to the province with him.
At that time, the city bureau arranged an exchange meeting in the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Chen Chuan, who also attended the meeting, privately told Chen Shu the reason why Director Lin came. But he did not expect that the person he was looking for was standing in front of him.
, Chen Shu pretends to be confused while pretending to be clear!
He is angry!
You still hide such a big thing from him!
This is clearly not treating him as a brother!
Fortunately, he was still whispering to him with a mysterious look on his face.
Unexpectedly, the protagonist was standing next to him.
Shame on you!
What a shame!
We must get the place back today!
Chen Shu looked at Chen Chuan's unpredictable expression and knew that he had not done everything right. He quickly picked up the tea cup with Coke and said with a smile:
"The thing didn't work out in the end, so I didn't inform you. I'm going to have tea instead of wine today to keep you company. Mr. Chen, you have a lot, so just let me go."
Chen Chuan replied angrily: "It didn't work out? Thank you for having the nerve to say it."
Cheng Mian, who was sitting aside, was confused from beginning to end: "I said, can you two stop playing riddles? What is going on?"
Chen Chuan pursed his lips and said simply: "Last month, someone from the province wanted to transfer him to the Provincial Police Academy, but he refused to go."
When Cheng Mian heard this, he was like thunder: "What? Transferring Chen Shu to the province? Say it again, I didn't understand!"
Chen Chuan shrugged and ignored him.
Cheng Mian stiffened his head, turned his head inch by inch, and faced Chen Shu: "Transfer you to the province?"
Chen Chuan said something softly from behind Cheng Mian: "Three years as a deputy subject in the province?"
Cheng Mian kept talking: "Then why are you still sitting here?"
Chen Shu scratched his head and smiled stupidly, a little embarrassed and speechless.
Interview day
Dongzhou City Zhengming District Public Security Bureau, outside the conference room on the sixth floor
Chen Shu originally thought that he would not have stage fright after experiencing strong winds and waves, but when he actually stood on the scene, even though it was not his turn yet, he felt very guilty.
His written test score currently ranks third. As Cheng Mian said, after memorizing all the leaders' talks, the answers to the test paper are basically the same.
But I also believed in him too much, saying that the grassroots police relied on their mouths to make a living. These are all accumulated in daily life and cannot be done on a temporary basis.
When listening to Cheng Mian's talk at that time, Chen Shu also felt that this was the case, so he did not prepare materials for interviews or speeches.
But now standing in the corridor outside the conference room door, the policemen in this group were all looking down at the cheat sheets in their hands, opening and closing their mouths. On the other hand, looking at the empty-handed Chen Shen, they seemed a little out of place.
There are five places for deputy directors this time, and he came third in the written test. Plus, Zeng Hong patted his chest and Chen Shu stood at the top of the stairs, thinking wildly.
"Police officer from Zhongshan Police Station, Chen Shu!"
A female police officer came to the corridor and shouted.
Um?
The first one?
Even if I finish early and go back to the office early, staying in this branch building is still not as comfortable as in my own office.
Chen Shu adjusted his police uniform and walked into the conference room with what he thought was a vigorous pace.
The conference room is rectangular in shape, with an auditorium on the left hand side, where about a dozen first or second leaders of each branch's main units are seated. On the right hand side is a large platform, with a small podium placed on the inside of the platform.
After Chen Shu entered the door, his several years of investigation habits made him stop. He stood at the door and observed the layout of the entire conference room, and then looked at the leaders sitting in the front row one by one.
When I glanced over, I saw the familiar Executive Deputy Director Zhang Bureau, the Criminal Brigade Captain Ren Guoqing, as well as some Legal Brigade Captains, Office Directors, etc. whom I had met.
They sat upright and looked serious.
"Officer Chen, it's time to go on stage. Today's exam questions are covered on the podium." The female police officer standing aside gently reminded her.
Chen Shu shrugged apologetically. In the middle of the shrug, he suddenly remembered that a dozen leaders of the branch were sitting in the audience and staring at him!
He was so embarrassed that he quickly walked a few steps to stand in front of the small podium and saluted.
He lowered his head and opened the covering cardboard, only to see three questions listed on it.
The first question is:
Having been a police officer for many years, what insights do you have now? And what allows you to continue moving forward on this road full of hardships as always.
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes, as if the examination room and examiner were gone at this moment.
Some are just that over the years, he has met many people and many things. Scenes flashed through his mind like a slideshow, including the arrogance and wantonness of criminal suspects, the crying of victims, and more ordinary things.
Human emotions.
Chen Shu has tasted all kinds of things in life, but the final scene is the most ordinary scene in his daily work and life:
In the early morning, he stood in front of the police mirror at the stairwell of Zhongshan Institute, looking at himself smiling in the mirror, and carefully arranged his police appearance.
"My name is Chen Shu."
Chen Shu opened his mouth with a smile and looked at the old policemen and old comrades sitting in a row in front of him. He was very relaxed because he knew that they were all on the same journey.
