Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Ye Wei, you read the list."

Chapter 377 Outstanding Individuals

Ye Wei opened the folder and slowly began to speak.

"As decided by the leadership team of Jiulihe Police Station, the candidates for Outstanding Individuals are Wu Mingcheng, Zhang Zhijie, Liu Dapeng, Sun Xianjin, Yan Chuang, Xia Jie…"

Cao Jianjun waited with a broad smile for Instructor Ye Wei to begin calling out names.

When he heard the first name was Wu Mingcheng, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he had to admit that this newcomer was indeed quite outstanding and had achieved considerable success.

Then he craned his neck to listen, but as it ended, he still didn't hear his name called.

His expression darkened, and he sat there expressionless.

Upon hearing the names Wu Mingcheng and Xia Jie, Li Dawei exclaimed happily,

"Mingcheng, Xiaojie, you two have brought honor to our new couple!"

Yang Shu, standing nearby, looked somewhat bitter upon hearing Li Dawei's words.

Wu Mingcheng showed no surprise, only a slight smile.

Xia Jie's expression, however, was somewhat strange. She was particularly afraid that others would think that she had gotten herself recognized as an outstanding individual by the institute because of her special connections.

At this moment, Zhang Zhijie saw Cao Jianjun's expression across from him. Cao Jianjun had always been someone who never competed or fought for anything in the institute.

So he said,

"Chief, Instructor, I haven't done much lately, but Cao Jianjun caught a few thieves. I think he should be recognized as an advanced worker."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhijie's words, Ye Wei looked at Wang Shouyi, who was seated at the head of the table. Similarly, Cao Jianjun also looked up at Wang Shouyi.

Meanwhile, during the other climactic moments, Chen Xincheng and the others were all doing their own thing, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

Wang Shouyi heard it, of course, but he didn't respond; instead, he changed the subject.

"In addition, five new Tongzhi members recently joined the institute, and they have all performed well."

Of course, some people still need improvement; they should pay attention to the transition from a student to a police officer.

Among the newcomers, Mingcheng goes without saying; he's highly capable in all aspects, quick-witted, skilled, and his performance has consistently been excellent.

After Wang Shouyi finished speaking, not only Zhang Zhijie, Chen Xincheng, Gao Chao, Cheng Hao, and others who had contact with Wu Mingcheng nodded in agreement, but also...

The other veteran police officers in the station were also nodding in agreement.

"Indeed, Mingcheng is a good kid,"

"Absolutely! And she's especially polite,"

"Weren't these cases all thanks to Mingcheng?"

...............................................................

Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and Zhao Jiwei were filled with envy when they saw that everyone in the institute held Wu Mingcheng in high regard; even Xia Jie was no exception.

Seeing everyone's reaction, although Wang Shouyi knew that Wu Mingcheng had performed exceptionally well, he couldn't help but marvel at how deeply Wu Mingcheng had won people's hearts.

He smiled and said,

"Alright, it seems everyone has witnessed it. So, I'd like to give special praise to Xia Jietongzhi here,"

Xia Jie was startled when she heard Wang Shouyi call her name.

"Me? Is it me?"

Wang Shouyi then said...

"Xia Jie, a young woman, actively went out on duty with her male colleagues, warmly received the public, and helped them solve their problems. In particular, she played an irreplaceable role in the group dispute at Sunshine Home, resolutely going down the well to rescue a child. She is someone we should all learn from."

Xia Jie was momentarily at a loss for words upon hearing Wang Shouyi's praise.

"But Director, I almost made a mistake too, I don't think I deserve this praise,"

Before Wang Shouyi could say anything more, Ye Wei gently nudged him from the side, and Wang Shouyi immediately understood.

"We always give up honors when they come; that's a glorious tradition of our Balihe."

Okay, that's all for the morning meeting. Everyone, go back to your work.

· ·······Request flowers····· ······

Xia Jie's face showed no joy at this moment. She opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Wu Mingcheng noticed Xia Jie's unusual behavior. He knew she was still bothered by the mistake she made in the prostitution case.

Xia Jie entered the corridor and saw Cheng Hao walking ahead. She quickly followed.

"Master,"

Cheng Hao slowed his pace, looked at the hurried Xia Jie, and asked,

"Xiaojie, what's wrong?"

Xia Jie said hesitantly.

"Why would the director praise me? I clearly made a mistake,"

Cheng Hao immediately realized what Xia Jie was saying, and he smiled and said,

....... ........ .......

"That foot massage parlor case? Hey, in the end you didn't pass on their message, which shows you were still vigilant,"

Xia Jie stammered,

"Well, specifically mentioning the praise I gave, this..."

Cheng Hao smiled slightly.

"Why put so much psychological burden on yourself at such a young age? Besides, the director praised Mingcheng, and he didn't just praise you."

Xia Jie still looked puzzled.

Just then, Xia Jie's phone rang. The caller ID showed her mother. Cheng Hao quickly glanced at it and said,

"Answer your mom's call quickly. She's probably congratulating you on being recognized as an outstanding employee on your first day at work. She's so happy for you!"

Xia Jie immediately understood what Cheng Hao meant. Her mother knew about her recent award as an advanced worker. Could this be a coincidence?

At this moment, she was glad that moving out of her family home was the right thing to do.

She answered the phone somewhat heavily, and her mother's kind voice came from the other end.

"Xiaojie, Mom bought seafood today and will cook it for dinner tonight."

Xia Jie then said in a cold voice,

"Mom, what did you say to my boss and my mentor on the phone again?" (Door to the door)

Chapter 378 Cao Jianjun complains.

Xia's mother said nonchalantly.

"Oh, they told me you were recognized as an outstanding employee. That's only right, you already deserved it."

"If I receive a few more honors like this, I might have a chance to be transferred to the bureau and won't have to work on the front lines anymore, causing my mother so much worry."

Hearing her mother's words, Xia Jie felt a surge of irritation and impatiently hung up the phone.

Less than a second later, Xia Jie's mother called again, relentlessly. Xia Jie had no choice but to answer.

Xia's mother questioned,

"Xiaojie, how could you hang up on your mother?"

Xia Jie said angrily.

"Mom, I've told you a million times, stop interfering with my work."

Why can't you listen to even a single word of my "seven, eight, seven"? Not even a single word!

At this point, Xia's mother spoke with righteous indignation.

"Mom is doing all this for you, otherwise people will forget about us, mother and daughter,"

Hearing her mother's utterly unreasonable words, Xia Jie had reached her limit of patience.

"Mom, I'm officially telling you now that I've moved out. It's very close to my workplace, which is convenient for work."

"I'll only go home when you stop calling my boss endlessly."

After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng noticed that Xia Jie's mood was off, and came to her side.

"What? Did you fight with your mom again?"

Xia Jie nodded silently.

Wu Mingcheng couldn't say anything about it, since Xia Jie's mother had indeed gone too far and hadn't considered Xia Jie's feelings at all.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore. When I get home from get off work tonight, I'll show off my skills and make some of my best dishes: sauerkraut fish and boiled pork slices."

Xia Jie couldn't help but laugh when she heard that Wu Mingcheng was going to cook.
