Report to headquarters in 2006
As the faint morning light grew more resplendent, Monday arrived just as it had promised.
Yun Shu got up very early today, although she didn't come back until midnight last night. However, she has always had a strong sense of time and after resting for so long, her energy was restored. She got up early to prepare breakfast. When Xia Lingwei came out of the bathroom rubbing her eyes and yawning with a wet fringe, Yun Shu was already sitting comfortably at the table reading the newspaper and quietly enjoying her breakfast.
"What's the delicious food?" Xia Lingwei put down the towel on the back of the chair and quickly pulled out a chair to sit opposite Yun Shu, looking at the dining table. "White porridge with appetizing small dishes, boiled eggs, well, it's quite a sumptuous breakfast. You're coming back, I won't be hungry in the morning, and I can save money on buying breakfast!"
Xia Lingwei said as she took a bowl of porridge and began to eat slowly with her slender hands holding chopsticks.
"By the way, are you going to headquarters alone? Do you want me to drive you there?" Xia Lingwei asked while eating and looking up at the woman who was reading the newspaper with a calm expression.
Xia Lingwei had just obtained her driver's license two years ago, and she has a QQ car of her own, which is quite convenient to drive and not very expensive. It was actually a birthday gift from Yun Shu on her 26th birthday, and then Yun Shu kicked her to the driving school to take the test. Unexpectedly, when she came back for the New Year, she really got her driver's license.
"No need, I have a car." Yun Shu replied lightly, having driven her own car back home yesterday. This way, going to work would be more convenient. Besides, the bureau should also provide cars for its employees.
"Alright, then I'll go ahead alone. You should be going there directly after reporting to the headquarters, right?" Xia Lingwei asked again.
Yun Shu nodded, "Mm, I should go take a look. There are still several old teammates over there, let's see how they're doing."
"That's fine." Xia Lingwei took a deep breath and lowered her head again to focus on eating her breakfast.
Yun Shu was still unhurried and calm, with movements that were elegant from birth. Sometimes, Xia Lingwei even felt drawn to her. If she had to say something bad about Yun Shu, it would be that she was a bit cold and sometimes stubbornly inconsiderate of others' feelings.
After breakfast, they set off together.
A black Volkswagen slowly drove through the bustling streets, and a dark gray building of over 20 floors came into view, solemn and majestic, like a giant monument standing between heaven and earth. Although it can't compare to the height of the surrounding skyscrapers, its momentum is unmatched.
That's right, this building is the headquarters of A City Public Security Bureau, with more than 30 floors, located in the middle section of Chaoyang Road, the most prosperous area of A City.
Standing firmly under the gatehouse, she looked up and saw the solemn and sacred police badge, as well as a row of fluttering colorful flags. The national flag on the rooftop was waving in the wind, and people were constantly entering and exiting. This scene suddenly made her feel a sense of heaviness, and something called pressure and responsibility rose from the bottom of her heart.
Yun Shu took a deep breath and soon lowered his head, taking heavy steps to slowly walk through the gate and enter.
Director Chen had been waiting for her in the office for a long time. Director Chen's full name was Chen Peiwen, around 45 years old, slightly chubby, but with a warm smile on his face, making him look quite approachable. He was the current director of A City Public Security Bureau, stationed at headquarters, and had only taken office last year. Don't be fooled by his gentle appearance, he was no ordinary person, able to mix and mingle to reach such a position, without being exceptionally capable?
"Xiao Yun, sit down! I've been waiting for you for half a day, haha!" Director Chen smiled and looked at the black-clothed woman standing straight in front of the door.
They all affectionately call her Xiao Yun, while her brother is called Da Yun.
"Director Chen." Yún Shū slightly bowed and called out.
"Come on in and take a seat! There's no outsider here, just call me Uncle Chen."
Yun Shu didn't refuse either, and walked in with a calm and collected demeanor, her face full of righteousness, sitting down in the direction pointed by Director Chen.
Director Chen quickly stood up from his office chair and walked over, leisurely pouring a cup of tea for Yun Shu.
"Xiao Yun, previously the deputy director of Chengbei District was transferred to another city. You also used to work under me and I'm very clear about your abilities. You've made many achievements. The other day, I attended a meeting at the provincial hall and coincidentally met your father. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so after the meeting, he followed me back to the bureau and took a look around. He mentioned you and said he wanted you to come back and be closer to him. Your brother Da Yun isn't in this city either, so it's perfect timing that the deputy director of Chengbei District was transferred away. I recommended you to the higher-ups and the organizational department also conducted an investigation, which yielded satisfactory results. The municipal committee's organizational department should have already spoken with you about this, right? Do a good job and if you encounter any difficulties, just let me know directly. Your father and Director Wang are both very concerned about your situation, so don't disappoint their expectations of you!"
Director Chen said with a heavy heart, and from this conversation, Yun Shu has already obtained a lot of information. It seems that this is the father's arrangement, Director Wang and Director Chen in front of him are all his friends, who have received a lot of care from his father before. Fortunately, as far as Yun Shu knows, they are still considered good officials in the hearts of the people. Who doesn't know that being an official is a technical job? Whoever has no strong backstage will be trampled to death!
Actually, Director Chen's recommendation of Yun Shu this time also has his own intentions. You see how fat he looks, but don't think he's not a good official just because of that - he is indeed a good official! He hasn't forgotten the oath he made back in police school. However, sitting in such a position, who knows how difficult it is for this director? The higher you climb, the easier it is to offend people. For example, if some young master from a high-ranking family commits a crime, they'll come after you. But what can the victim's side do? If you handle things impartially, your superiors will put pressure on you. If you show bias, the common people won't let you off either. In the end, it always ends up with you being caught in the middle and not pleasing anyone. But if Yun Shu were to take this deputy director position, the situation would be different. She has her father backing her up, and she's not short on money either. This kid is very kind-hearted and stands for justice under the sun. She will definitely handle things impartially, and who knows, after a few years, if she takes over that position, I believe the atmosphere in this city will be much better! That would also count as doing something good for the people!
Everything has two sides, in official circles there are many corrupt insects, but also people who live for justice.
