Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

But they told me the whole story this time, and I still have to criticize you a bit.”

Cao Jianjun said, somewhat as if it were commonplace.

"Chief, I know what you're going to say, but the situation was indeed special at the time, and I was just thinking..."

Wang Shouyi raised his voice slightly at this point.

"We'll have to wait for the fire department to arrive, and I heard from them that Cheng had already made arrangements beforehand and had calmed the child down,"

Upon hearing Wang Shouyi's words, Cao Jianjun's expression changed slightly, but he still tried to defend himself.

"No, Chief, I heard them say that the fire trucks are blocking the intersection, and it will take them a while to get here."

"It's been so long, I'm afraid something might happen. I'm thinking it would be better to find an opportunity to rescue him."

Wang Shouyi said earnestly,

"Jianjun, have you forgotten what happened to Xincheng back then?"

Cao Jianjun's face stiffened, and then he said,

"Chief, those are all low-probability events,"

Wang Shouyi then said angrily,

"Even a low probability is unacceptable. How many times have I told you? You can't handle these kinds of things without my permission."

Cao Jianjun gave a vague answer.

"Okay, Director, I'll be more careful next time, alright?"

Wang Shouyi then solemnly said,

"It's not about being careful, it's about making a guarantee. And even a guarantee isn't enough; you have to actually do it. If you act rashly like this again next time, then I can't do anything about it; I'll have to discipline you."

Cao Jianjun's expression was somewhat troubled at this moment.

"Chief, isn't this too much punishment?"

Wang Shouyi directly countered with a question.

"How could it not be necessary? The punishment is for your own good. Think about how wonderful it would be if your wife and children could live together in harmony?"

"If something happens to you, like in Xincheng, and you end up separated from your family, do you think it's worth it?"

Upon hearing Wang Shouyi's words, Cao Jianjun fell silent.

Wang Shouyi patted him on the shoulder and said again,

"Also, Jianjun, you need to change your temperament. I heard from them that Mingcheng had already made proper arrangements at the time. Why are you so stubborn?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjun turned to look at Wang Shouyi.

"Chief, I..."

Wang Shouyi then slowly began to speak.

"Jianjun, I know what's bothering you. Your mother-in-law and her family don't approve of you."

So you want to make a good impression at the police station and are eager to earn merit, but that's not the right way to do it.

What you're doing is seriously affecting the unity within our police station. I hope you'll take this seriously.

Today, when they told me this, I was very angry, and everyone has some opinions about you.

But I know your situation, so I won't criticize you in public, to save you some face.

However, I don't want this kind of reckless, opportunistic behavior to happen again. Do you hear me?

Upon hearing this, Cao Jianjun lowered his head and said...

"Yes, Director."

Wang Shouyi looked ahead and spoke again.

"Do you remember back then, both you and Gao Chao had a chance to compete for the position of deputy director?"

5.6

However, at that time, the climax was what everyone expected, while your approval rating was very low.

So, you should correct your work methods and reflect on them more.

Upon hearing Wang Shouyi's words, Cao Jianjun's expression became extremely complicated, and his mood became very somber.

Wang Shouyi couldn't bear to see his old subordinate like this, and tried to persuade him again.

"Jianjun, this is a life you live with your wife and children. It's a matter of her awareness if your mother-in-law looks down on you."

Why bother arguing with her? You'll only make things difficult for yourself and your family; it's not worth it.

Cao Jianjun then sighed and said,

"Chief, you don't know, my brother-in-law's business has been growing bigger and bigger these past two years, and I'm under pressure too,"

Chapter 324 Temporary Mission

Wang Shouyi shook his head; Cao Jianjun's mindset still hadn't changed.

He advised again,

"Every coin has two sides; comparing yourself to others is endless and exhausting."

"Look at my apprentice, Song Chengdu, he's become a bureau chief, while I'm still just a station chief, and we're both doing just fine, aren't we?"

Cao Jianjun began to speak.

"Chief, I know all that you're saying, but..."

Wang Shouyi interrupted him directly.

"Alright, enough with the 'buts.' You need to take things easy. You can't always be the best. The more competitive you are, the more mentally exhausted you'll become. When you're at peace with yourself, life will get better and better."

Cao Jianjun nodded and said,

"Okay, I got it."

Wang Shouyi stood up, looking at his old subordinate, unsure whether he had truly listened to him.

Hopefully, he will really take what he said to heart.

He patted Cao Jianjun on the shoulder and said with emotion,

"Alright, think about it yourself."

After saying that, he walked away. 16

Cao Jianjun watched Wang Shouyi's departing figure. He understood perfectly well what Wang Shouyi had said.

Many of his colleagues at the institute have opinions about him. Doesn't he know that?

However, when he thought of his mother-in-law's sarcastic remarks to him at home and her fawning over his brother-in-law,

He couldn't swallow this insult and was determined to make a name for himself.

As he pondered this, he sighed, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

The next day, Cheng Hao arrived at Wang Shouyi's office. As soon as he entered, he said...

"Chief, we've made progress on that foot massage parlor we've been keeping an eye on, but we're a bit short-staffed."

When Wang Shouyi heard Cheng Hao's words, how could he not understand what Cheng Hao meant?

He looked up at Cheng Hao and said with a smile.

"Director Cheng, just say it straight, who do you want?"

Cheng Hao chuckled sheepishly.

"Well then, Mingcheng is capable and quite clever, so I'd like him to come and temporarily assist with this mission. What do you think...?"

Wang Shouyi smiled slightly.

"Mingcheng has become a hot commodity since he came to our police station. These past few days, many people have wanted his help."

Okay, I'll talk to Xincheng and have Mingcheng go with you on this mission.”

The two then went downstairs to the office area, where they specifically sought out Chen Xincheng.

Wang Shouyi spoke first.

"New City, it's like this, the prostitution ring that Cheng's been monitoring has resurfaced."

"Our station is planning to raid this prostitution den, but we're short-handed and would like Mingcheng to come and help us out."

Chen Xincheng immediately said,

"Chief, I don't have any problems. It's just that a few of us were on duty last night. Should I ask Mingcheng for you?"

At that moment, Wu Mingcheng, having changed into civilian clothes, came out of the dressing room.

He overheard Wang Shouyi and the others' conversation and said aloud,

"Chief, I have no problem,"

Wang Shouyi then said...

"It's okay, if you feel sleepy, I can have them go."
