Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 351 Women are afraid of resting their chins on their hands

The decision to form the Yangyi Street patrol team was made. The matter was clear, but the actual work was much more complicated than Chen Shu had anticipated.

When Yan Chenxi opened her bright eyes and asked Chen Shu for advice on forming a patrol team, Chen Shu just kept humming and hawing without coming up with any concrete plan.

He was a police officer who had been working diligently on cases at the police station for many years, but he was completely clueless when it came to the construction and management of patrol teams.

Yan Chenxi smiled, walked unhurriedly to the desk, pulled a thick stack of handwritten documents from the drawer, and handed them to Chen Shu in a soft voice:
"Brother Shu, this is something I've been figuring out on my own these past few days. I don't know much about the police department, so I don't know if it's accurate. Could you take a look?"

Chen Shu weighed the item in his hand and thought that this girl was very capable and methodical in her work. Her promotion to a leadership position in the street was not solely due to the targeted selection process.

After a quick look through this, I can summarize it into three points.

According to Yan Chenxi's plan, Luoyang Subdistrict will allocate a separate fund specifically for the establishment of patrol teams. This includes personnel salaries, operating expenses, and equipment purchases. Furthermore, patrol police stations will be established at key street locations.

In order to avoid conflict with the administrative staff of the Zhengming District Public Security Bureau, the recruitment of patrol team members was handled by the street office, so the personnel were under the jurisdiction of Luoyang Street.

However, the daily management of the team members is entirely handled by the Special Police Brigade. The team members are referred to as patrol officers, which is somewhat different from the auxiliary police officers of the Public Security Bureau. However, their uniforms and equipment will be purchased directly from the Public Security Bureau's suppliers, ensuring that all necessary equipment is legally acquired.

To facilitate effective management of its members by the Special Police Brigade, the brigade reviews, calculates, and reports the members' salaries and bonuses, while the local street office is only responsible for distributing them.

Externally, they are uniformly identified as a volunteer security patrol team established by Luoyang Street and carrying out various tasks under the guidance of the Special Police Brigade of Zhengming District Public Security Bureau, and their logo reflects this identity.

Chen Shu glanced through it and asked a question: "Director Yan, this plan is very detailed. Although it's said that the special police will provide the personnel and the neighborhood committee will provide the funding, the cost is still quite substantial. The neighborhood committee will definitely be under pressure. Can you handle it?"

Beforehand, Yan Chenxi had considered many questions Chen Shu might ask after reading the "Plan." These might include staffing ratios, financial allocations, or even work assignments. However, she never expected that his first concern would be her feelings.

Yan Chenxi felt a warmth in her heart, then composed herself and said righteously, "Brother Shu, don't worry. This is all for work."

He paused, then slowly explained, "I will promote this work as one of my achievements as the new street director. We are currently just piloting it in Yangyi Street, learning as we go. If it proves feasible and we can achieve some results, we can then publicize it and package it as an innovative measure that is very beneficial to society and the people. Who knows, it might even gain the appreciation of higher-level leaders. It might even be promoted on a large scale throughout the district."

Yan Chenxi spoke eloquently, offering a series of reasoned arguments that Chen Shu nodded in agreement with. But only she knew in her heart who this enormously demanding work was truly for.

Chen Shu listened with shining eyes, but what he was thinking about was how this work would help the special police brigade.

Currently, the Zhengming District Special Police Brigade ranks last in both professional skills and training within the special police system, and breakthroughs in task targets and training results cannot be achieved overnight.

However, if the cooperation between the police and the street is well publicized and accompanied by certain results (Chen Shu, a police officer at the local police station, is very familiar with the work of finding clues, solving cases and arresting people), then these results will allow the police to quickly overtake others in the system where special police are generally simple-minded and physically strong.

The two hit it off.

One acted for personal gain, the other for the public good; it's unclear who was right or wrong, or who simply didn't want to miss out on the other. Perhaps that's fate.

Yangyi Subdistrict Office, Director's Office.

Yan Chenxi looked at the WeChat message from Chen Shu again, then opened her contacts, quickly scrolled to the phone number of a high-ranking official in the city, and dialed it.

"Beep beep beep." It rang for a few seconds before being answered.

Yan Chenxi greeted him and then began her report: "Hello, Uncle Yang. The matter I mentioned to you the day before yesterday about piloting a volunteer security patrol team in our street has been discussed with the district special police brigade. They have reviewed our plan and expressed their full cooperation in implementing this new initiative."

Uncle Yang, a high-ranking official in the district, remained silent for a long time on the phone, then sighed and slowly said, "Xiao Yan, I trust you to handle things. However, I still have to give you some advice: there's really no need to pursue such a high-profile project. If you mess it up, it could seriously affect your future career."

That would be counterproductive. Wouldn't it be more stable to just follow the established procedures and get promoted at the right time? Hey, Uncle Yang, it's not that you're being long-winded, but you really don't need to pull any strings. In our system, as long as you don't make mistakes, that's an achievement; you should understand that.”

Yan Chenxi pouted her pink lips and said aggrievedly, "Uncle Yang, I just wanted to test my abilities. Actually, many people in the workplace secretly say that I'm just a pretty face and got in through connections."

Silly child, background, connections, and luck are all part of a person's overall abilities. In reality, how many self-made success stories are there? If there are, they're just empty promises or wishful thinking to those at the bottom.
Putting himself in their shoes, Uncle Yang could understand the eagerness of the new generation of young people to break free from the protection of their parents and achieve their own success.

Fine, let her do a somersault. Life's too short to be delayed; better to do it sooner rather than later. While she's still a junior manager, it'll be easier to salvage the situation if she makes a mistake.

He said in a deep voice, "Then here's the arrangement. Aside from the funding, I'll arrange for the district to allocate a special fund for you, but you'll have to figure out how to overcome the rest yourself."

Chen Shu ultimately misunderstood the situation. Establishing a patrol team that aligns with Yan Chenxi's vision cannot be accomplished solely by relying on the street office.

"Hehe, thank you so much, Uncle Yang! You've been a great help!"

After hanging up the phone, Yan Chenxi took out paper and pen and began calculating the expenses for the "Volunteer Security Patrol Team Plan".

"We plan to set up two fixed patrol posts first. The decoration of these two posts should be different from that of ordinary police stations. They must be more modern and stylish, and they must be eye-catching and cool to the public."

"For equipment, we'll refer to the SWAT team's uniforms, but the highlight will still be the vehicles. We learned this the hard way in Dawn Grid. Hmm, let's add four more motorcycles, the same style as the patrol teams we saw on the road when we went to Shanghai last time. We'll change the colors, and they'll look really cool!"

"."

After a long while, Yan Chenxi tapped the tip of her pen to count the digits in the "Total Expenses" section. She was somewhat surprised by the enormous amount, but ultimately closed the notebook with satisfaction.

He rested his chin on his hand, gazing at the scenery outside the window and smiling foolishly.
