On May 9th, the Yang City Public Security Bureau held an awards ceremony to commend the successful handling of the sudden mass incident.
Major leaders including Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau Su Liwei, Vice Mayor Liang An, and Vice Chairman of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference Na Ren, as well as Political Commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Bayan, members of the Bureau's Party Committee, directors and political commissars of various Public Security Bureaus, heads of various detachments, and all staff members of the Municipal Bureau attended the ceremony.
At the meeting, Su Liwei immediately dropped a bombshell.
"This morning, Secretary Yang specifically called me to affirm the results of handling this major sudden incident and to express condolences to the vast number of Public Security officers and police who fought on the front lines to maintain stability throughout the city. Secretary Yang said that the outbreak of this mass incident was caused by the grassroots people's government's unsolid and inadequate work. However, in such an extremely unfavorable and desperate situation, it was our Public Security officers and police who decisively took action, turned the tide, and ensured the safety of people's lives. They are excellent and worthy of praise!"
Clap, clap, clap!
The vast Municipal Party Committee auditorium echoed with sustained applause. To receive affirmation from the top leader of the Municipal Party Committee was truly a rare achievement.
Everyone showed a heartfelt smile.
Even though it wasn't their own doing, as a police officer, I am proud!
Jiang Yonghui was seated in the front row below the stage!
Originally, he was not qualified to sit there, but he was the protagonist of the day. To his left was Political Commissar Bayan of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and to his right were members of the Party Committee of various bureaus of the Municipal Bureau. In this row, apart from him, there wasn't a single deputy section chief.
To be precise, there wasn't even a single section chief!
Next, Vice Mayor Liang An read out the "Decision on Commending Outstanding Contributions in the Major Sudden Mass Incident in Lushui District, Yangcheng City."
Here it comes!
Jiang Yonghui's spirits lifted, and he straightened his back, listening intently!
After the document was read, he walked onto the stage with excitement.
Having lived two lives, this was his first such experience.
Looking at the dense crowd of colleagues below the podium, Jiang Yonghui couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The award was personally presented by Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau Su Liwei.
It included a certificate of commendation, a second-class merit medal, and a ten-thousand-yuan bonus.
Looking at the tall, upright, and spirited young man, Su Liwei couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
He thought to himself: "This is the person Secretary Yang and Mayor Lu think highly of. He is indeed a talent, a dragon among men. Given time, he will surely achieve great things."
"I've heard about you! You're a spirited young man!"
Su Liwei shook hands while holding the other's arm with his left hand, a gesture of extreme closeness.
The leaders on the podium and the people below all noticed this.
Secretary Su's attitude towards this young man was even more enthusiastic than a volcanic eruption.
With excitement, Jiang Yonghui saluted the entire audience with a standard police salute.
He received warm applause from the entire audience.
...
On the afternoon of May 9th, when Jiang Yonghui returned to the Lushui District Public Security Bureau, the news of him being awarded a personal second-class merit had already spread to every dog, chicken, duck, and goose in the city.
If you were to ask him about his mood at that moment?
It was like drinking a bottle of '82 Sprite—super refreshing!
Most importantly, he now had start-up capital again.
Earlier, he had just transferred 20,000 yuan to Ming Yeyue, or rather Zhong Yutao, to buy Bitcoin and was worried about start-up capital. Now, he had enough money to buy lottery tickets.
In another two months, if all goes well, he would resign and set a small goal—starting with becoming the richest man in Yangcheng. Just wait and see!
Jiang Yonghui walked into the Lushui District Public Security Bureau with aspirations for the future.
Lv Shun, the doorman at the main gate, saw someone coming in and pressed the remote control in his hand to open the side door.
After clearly seeing the person's figure, he quickly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Captain Jiang!"
"Hello, Brother Lv."
Jiang Yonghui replied with a smile.
Lv Shun was slightly stunned. Captain Jiang actually recognized him.
This made him extremely happy. He hadn't expected Captain Jiang to recognize him so soon after starting work.
What did this signify?
It meant that Lv Shun had caught Captain Jiang's eye.
"You don't have an access card yet, do you? I'll escort you in."
Lv Shun diligently escorted Jiang Yonghui to the entrance of the main building and helped him open the door.
"Thanks, Brother Lv."
As Jiang Yonghui was new to the job, he hadn't completed any of the procedures for an access card or registration. If Lv Shun hadn't brought him in, he really wouldn't have been able to enter the building.
He would either have to wait for someone to come and let him in, or piggyback on someone else's access card.
"No need, no need, it's my duty, haha. Have a good walk, Captain Jiang!"
Lv Shun only returned to the main gate's security room reluctantly after seeing Jiang Yonghui go inside.
On the day he was appointed, the Bureau had already arranged an office for him. It was a room on the sunny side of the third floor, just for him, with good lighting and spaciousness.
However, he wasn't going back to his own office this time, but to the fifth floor, to the Director's office.
On May 7th, since it was already noon after he was appointed, and things came up suddenly, Jiang Yonghui's matters at Wuyuan Police Station had not yet been handed over. So, he asked Director Mao Shichang for leave and returned to Wuyuan Police Station to hand over his work.
Therefore, today was his first day reporting to the Lushui District Public Security Bureau.
However, he was all too familiar with this place. After all, the Lushui District Traffic Police Brigade also had its offices here, occupying the first and second floors. In his previous life, he had run countless errands here.
Director's office.
Mao Shichang looked at the spirited young police officer before him, feeling a sense of emotion.
Twenty-five years old, recipient of a personal second-class merit!
This must have been a sign of good fortune for his ancestors to achieve such accomplishments at this age.
Young, handsome, and lucky.
Who can you complain to?
Firstly, such an opportunity is once in a century. Secondly, whether one can seize the opportunity is the key.
There were so many police officers at the scene, yet it was Jiang Yonghui who made a different choice. He deserved the promotion and the award.
Others couldn't envy him.
Just like that Deputy Director of Wuyuan Police Station, what was his name, Yang Wenzhong, who reported Jiang Yonghui for illegally carrying and firing a gun, demanding disciplinary action.
What kind of treasonous talk was that? Although according to the "Regulations on the Use of Police Equipment and Weapons by People's Police," frontline police officers are not allowed to carry guns when handling mass incidents.
But so what?
Who said he was a frontline police officer? Wasn't he a village-assigned police officer?
Furthermore, according to Article 9 of the "Regulations on the Use of Police Equipment and Weapons by People's Police," police officers may fire their weapons after identifying 15 types of violent crimes and after warnings have been ineffective, and may shoot directly in emergencies.
This includes mob riots and armed brawls.
Therefore, firing the gun was very reasonable, and besides, he fired into the air. What was wrong with that?
After Mao Shichang severely reprimanded Yang Wenzhong, he obediently went back.
Hmph, to dare to touch someone Secretary Yang values, truly incorrigibly foolish!
Thus, Mao Shichang warmly received his subordinate, who had won a second-class merit, and gave him the highest courtesy—personally taking Jiang Yonghui around the offices of various committee members and departments of the Public Security Bureau.
The Political Commissar's office, the Executive Deputy Director's office, the Intelligence and Command Center, the Political Department, the Anti-Drug Detachment, the Public Order Detachment, the Legal Affairs Detachment, the Special Police Brigade, and other departments.
"Hello, Political Commissar Ba... Hello, Director Ma... Hello, Deputy Director Li... Hello, Director Song... Hello, Director Zhang... Hello, Captain Yang..."
He made a round, greeting everyone as a newcomer, and received countless praises and compliments.
They were clearly old acquaintances, yet he had to pretend it was their first meeting.
Take the people he had just met, for instance; he was not only familiar with them but even knew their personal preferences inside out.
For example, Director Ma likes to read novels... Director Song likes to play table tennis... Captain Yang likes to play poker... Deputy Director Li likes Director Ma...
