Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Soon, all the honorees on the stage turned around.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and led by Li Dong, everyone saluted again.

Instructor Zhang said, "Comrade Li Dong, Comrade Xu Bing, Comrade Jiang Lan, please stay."

After a while, all the other people left the stage, leaving only Li Dong and three others.

Instructor Zhang said, "Next, please invite Comrade Yan Tiejun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tianzhou Public Security Police School, to confer titles on the three comrades."

Yan Tiejun stepped forward and personally put on police ranks for Xu Bing and Jiang Lan.

Feeling the extra heaviness on their bodies, Xu Bing and Jiang Lan saluted again, and then shook hands with Secretary Yan.

Soon, Yan Tiejun came to Li Dong.

Li Dong saluted, "Secretary Yan!"

Yan Tiejun stood still and picked up the microphone. "I will not wear Comrade Li Dong's police rank personally."

After hearing this, the whole audience suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was in an uproar!

No one expected Secretary Yan to say such a thing, and no one knew what Secretary Yan was trying to do.

Secretary Yan changed the subject and said, "I would like to give the opportunity of awarding the title to Comrade Song Ci."

"I believe that this will definitely be more memorable for Comrade Li Dong."

"After all, Comrade Song Ci is also the pride of our Tianzhou Police School."

"She personally awarded Li Dong the police rank, which also represents the inheritance of our Tianzhou Police School!"

"What do you think?"

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized.

I didn't expect that Secretary Yan would make such an arrangement.

Without anyone taking the lead, the whole audience burst into applause.

Secretary Yan looked at Song Ci and said, "Come on, Comrade Song Ci, this glorious and sacred mission is now entrusted to you."

"Please personally give Comrade Li Dong the police rank as his guide to becoming a formal people's policeman!"

Song Ci was not stage-frightened either. He slowly stood up and walked straight towards Li Dong.

Li Dong's eyes gradually brightened, although he didn't know why Secretary Yan made such an arrangement.

But it was obvious that Li Dong was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Especially at this moment, Song Ci's police uniform was straight, his steps were firm, and there was a gentleness in the corners of his eyes that only Li Dong could detect.

When Song Ci came to him, Li Dong smiled and said, "Senior Sister!"

Song Ci said primly, “Be serious, and look at Comrade Song Ci!”

Li Dong quickly suppressed his smile, "Yes, Comrade Song Ci!"

Song Ci took over the police rank, with a slight smile on his face, "Comrade Li Dong, I have finally waited for this day!"

"Although I was not able to participate in your past glory, I am glad that I can stand by your side on the most important day of your life."

"Li Dong, please remember, what I put on you today is not just a police rank, but also a tight hoop!"

"The moment you wear this police rank, your police career no longer belongs to anyone but the country and the people, and you can only be loyal to the party!"

"Of course, you must be loyal to your family, to me and Nian Nian!"

Li Dong's Adam's apple rolled, and he whispered, "Comrade Song Ci, you are using the emperor to control the princes!"

Song Ci's fingers gently stroked his epaulettes, his movements professional and meticulous, and he asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Why, Officer Li is scared?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "Afraid? I'm afraid your hands will shake."

Song Ci chuckled and pressed his fingertips lightly on his shoulder, "Don't worry, my hands are very steady."

"But you, your shoulders are so tense, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

A smile flashed across Li Dong's eyes. "Officer Song, you are performing official duties. Please pay attention to your image!"

Song Ci straightened Li Dong's collar and took the opportunity to lean closer to his ear, "Officer Li is right to remind me, I'll deal with you when I get home!"

Li Dong's eyes softened instantly, but his body still maintained a standard military posture, "Reporting to Officer Song, I apply for leniency!"

Song Ci took a step back, looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The application is rejected, and extra training will be given tonight!"

Li Dong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "Yes Madam!"

Song Ci finally straightened the police badge for Li Dong, his eyes gentle, "Congratulations, Officer Li."

"From today on, you are my official colleague and a glorious people's policeman."

"Moreover...my forever husband!"

The last sentence was spoken very softly, just enough to fall into Li Dong's ears.

Li Dong took a deep breath, saluted solemnly, and said two words firmly, "Forever!"

Song Ci's eyes flashed with a sparkle, and soon he regained his professional look, "Okay, don't keep the leaders waiting too long!"

As Song Ci walked away, this special awarding ceremony was finally completed amid applause from the audience.

Instructor Zhang invited all the leaders to take their seats, and finally kept Li Dong. "Next, let's invite Officer Li Dong to give a speech as a representative of the newly awarded police officers!"

Li Dong took the microphone and glanced at the crowd of people in navy blue uniforms below the stage.

Amidst those expectant faces, Li Dong slowly spoke, "Just now, Instructor Zhang asked me to give a speech as a newly commissioned police officer."

"To be honest, I don't think I'm qualified enough."

"The Tianzhou Police Force is full of talented people, and there are too many seniors who are better than me."

"They work silently and dedicate their lives to the cause of the Tianzhou Police Force."

"The reason why I, Li Dong, can stand here is not because I am better than them."

"It's just that I was lucky. I was lucky enough to solve a few big cases and was fortunate enough to stand in front of the stage."

"And what about those veteran police officers? They have been working at the grassroots level in obscurity their entire lives, and have never encountered a major case. Does that mean they are not excellent?"

“No, they are the most loyal fertile soil of the Tianzhou Police Force!”

"Without this fertile soil, I, Li Dong, would have no chance to break out of the cocoon!"

In the audience, many veteran police officers who were about to retire all cried out in laughter!

In the silence of the whole audience, the camera moved around the whole place and finally focused on Li Dong again!

This scene on the stage was also broadcast live to every corner of Tianzhou.

Li Dong's voice was hoarse and low in the monitor. "A month ago, my brother was falsely accused of plagiarism. In order to prove his innocence, he jumped off the building and broke his leg."

"At the time in the hospital, some people also advised me not to try to stop the chariot with my bare hands, and told me to keep the situation quiet."

"They told me that I was just a policeman, an intern, and couldn't fight against the powerful."

"I thought about it at the time, why not... just forget it?"

"Send Li Feng back to Tianzhou to open a small supermarket. I will continue to be a local police officer and bring some spicy cabbage pickled by my mother to the brothers on duty at the station during the holidays."

"But then I thought again, as a police officer, if even I don't have the courage to pursue the truth, then who will protect the bottom line of this society?"

"I know that some people here think that I, Li Dong, am a troublemaker."

"Everyone here knows who Jiang Haichao is."

"When I was handling this case this year, everyone tried to stop me. Many leaders said good things, but I insisted on reporting it."

"The director of the institute was so angry that he smashed his thermos cup and said that no one dared to take up this case. He also said that the six-month bonus for the entire institute would be lost."

"I don't believe in evil!"

"Especially when I received the bright red reply from the Commission for Discipline Inspection saying 'Accepted', that red was as hot as the police badge on my head!"

"At that time I knew that there is justice in this country and no one can cover up the truth with one hand!!!"
