Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 381 Money and people are both secured
"Next, please welcome Director Wu with warm applause to speak."

A round of enthusiastic applause rang out, and Director Wu cleared his throat as he began to comment on the Special Police Brigade's achievements and shortcomings in the first half of the year.

"Today, on behalf of Zhao, Deputy Director of Zhengming District and Director of the Zhengming Branch of the Public Security Bureau, and Zhang Xuming, Executive Deputy Director, I am here to commend and reward the Special Police Brigade for its outstanding achievements in recent key tasks, and to deliver the care and warmth of the Branch Committee to the front line."

Director Wu, who had done his homework before coming, effortlessly recounted the various achievements the Special Police Brigade had made in the first half of the year, praising each one as he mentioned it. His praise was impressive, showcasing his rich and professional repertoire of compliments, using a variety of unique and varied terms and angles.

However, the special police officers sitting below could feel Director Wu's sincere praise for them.

In just six months, their special police brigade successfully rescued the hostages in the Dongzhou Old Railway Station hostage crisis. They were also the first among the departments and teams under the branch bureau to meet the target for anti-fraud operations. In addition, they rescued the miracle girl in the high-speed train incident and established a patrol team known nationwide as the "Dongzhou Model". Any one of these achievements could be boasted about for half a year.

Even in the recent operation to apprehend a murderer, the special police officers unanimously agreed that their deputy captain, Chen Shu, making the decision to shoot and kill the murderer, who had a prior record of shooting police officers, was the most correct choice at the time.

It's better than that bunch of scoundrels from the Criminal Investigation Department scaring people away.

As it turned out, the other person didn't get a scratch, while the deputy captain who risked his life to make arrests and almost got stabbed was dismissed from his post.

At this time, the non-leadership chat group that the special police officers had privately formed had already exploded with activity.

The team members were filled with righteous indignation and all turned their indignant gazes to the left side of the first row, where a police officer was quietly taking notes on the contents of a meeting.

An hour later, after Director Wu finished explaining the strengths, while everyone eagerly awaited his analysis of their weaknesses, he simply brushed it off with a casual remark, clearly not wanting to spoil the pleasant atmosphere that had been established.

"I hope that our brigade can achieve good results in the special police system competition in the second half of the year. Okay, that's all I have to say."

This left Li Da, who had been sitting silently in the middle of the stage, expressionless but secretly overjoyed, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

As a veteran special police officer who had been stationed in the Zhengming District Special Police Brigade for more than ten years, this was the first time a police officer had received such praise and attention from the branch bureau leaders in his own unit. He knew the reason better than anyone else.

Hearing this, the simple-minded Li Da desperately suppressed his smugness, took the microphone, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for the trust and support the organization has placed in our special police unit. Please rest assured that our special police unit will go all out in the days to come and achieve even greater success!"
"On behalf of all the comrades in the Special Police Brigade, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the Party Committee of the Bureau for Director Wu's special visit and condolences today."

After speaking, he put down the microphone and led the applause.

A thunderous applause erupted in the conference room. Director Wu stood up and saluted the special police officers below.

Yes, let alone Captain Li Da, these young team members who have been looked down upon by their peers for many years also need affirmation and encouragement.

They are all people wearing police uniforms. Compared to other grassroots units such as police stations, criminal investigation teams, and public security bureaus, the special police seem to be isolated from the world. Every day, they do nothing but patrol and train, and stand guard on holidays. They do not have any specific business to do and have no sense of existence as a powerful profession like the police.

After the applause subsided, just as everyone thought the meeting was over, some people began to close their notebooks and prepare to leave.

At this moment, Li Da could no longer contain his excitement and suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"As decided by the brigade headquarters, an assault team will be established, whose main function is riot control and emergency response."

"Wow!"

The conference room erupted into chaos, nearly turning the room upside down. The SWAT team members below were in an uproar, whispering amongst themselves.

Some exclaimed in surprise, "Are they going head-to-head with the brigade's assault team? Impressive! I didn't realize our brigade had such a do-or-die spirit!" Others mocked, "With our brigade's mediocre skills, going after an assault team? Isn't that a joke? Aren't we embarrassed enough in our usual competitions?"

Some people were crestfallen: "It's over, it's over, our comfortable days are over. With this level of training from the commando unit, we'll be skinned alive if we don't die!"

Someone exclaimed excitedly, "I knew Chen Da was coming! He's definitely going to do something! I'm the first to sign up!"

Some people seemed to be deep in thought.

Li Da, with a stern face, patted the microphone: "Alright, meeting adjourned!"

After the crowd dispersed, Li Da invited Director Wu to his office, accompanied by Chen Shu and Xie Chi.

Inside the office, Director Wu chatted with Chen Shu for a long time, almost making the two people sitting next to him think that the branch leader had come to offer his condolences on special occasion, perhaps just for Chen Shu.

Chen Shu was slightly embarrassed. He wasn't actually very familiar with Director Wu. He was only accompanying him because Captain Li Da had forcibly dragged him over, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Director Wu didn't take it seriously. He knew in his heart that the young policeman in front of him was a promising talent that Zhang Xuming had high hopes for, and was even grooming him as a protégé. So he didn't pay attention and talked to him for too long.

After finishing their conversation, Director Wu turned to Li Da with a smile and questioned him, "Li Da, how come the Political Department knew nothing about your special task force?"

Li Da was taken aback after hearing this, thinking, "You all want to interfere with me just because I set up a small team in my own brigade? Isn't this just a case of having nothing better to do?"

He quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "Director Wu, it was my oversight. I'll arrange for someone to make a report about this and send it to the Political Affairs Department right away!"

Director Wu nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is a good thing, but we must not avoid going through the proper procedures just because we are afraid of the hassle, otherwise it will turn into a bad thing."

After saying that, she smiled and asked Xie Chi, "Do you still have money to buy equipment? I heard that the equipment for these special police officers is quite expensive."

Xie Chi, who had been sitting sullenly to the side, worried about money, saw that the branch leader seemed to have delivered a pillow to someone who was sleepy, and immediately said without hesitation:
"We're desperately short of them!"

Director Wu glanced at Chen Shu, the future leader of the assault team, who was sitting on the sofa, and prepared to give him a big gift.

We have to give Director Zhang face, but we also need to invest in this promising talent as soon as possible. Anyway, it's public money, the annual budget, it's all the same to whoever it's given to, and we have to spend what needs to be spent, there's no way to save it.

"Old Xie, I'll go to the police security department and get some funding for your assault team. It's for specific purposes only, so you guys better make some achievements. Don't embarrass me."

"okay!"

Li Da and Xie Chi responded simultaneously, then exchanged a glance before looking at Chen Shu, who was sitting on the sofa with a bewildered expression, and burst into laughter.

"If the assault team achieves results, that would be incredible!" Chen Shu thought to himself, feeling a bit annoyed.

After the shooting incident, Chen Shu's mindset began to subtly change from that of an ordinary police officer handling a case.

This time, having taken on the responsibility of the assault team and gained a reputation, and having also received financial assistance from the branch bureau leaders, it can be said that they have both spiritual and material support.

So, what kind of bloodshed and chaos awaits Chen Shu next?
Please stay tuned, dear readers.
