Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

When Wang Qinghai spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "cooperate".

Clearly, he was reminding Li Dong to pay attention to the distinction between primary and secondary tasks.

Guodong Mining is the main entity, and our police station is secondary.

Our police station exists to ensure safe production at the mine.

You absolutely mustn't get this backwards!

I know you, Li Dong, are capable and have a foundation at the grassroots level.

But once you're here, don't cause any trouble or try to steal the spotlight.

Moreover, I am about to retire, so I don't seek merit but only to avoid mistakes.

I don't want to cause any more trouble before I retire.

However, since the two were not close, Wang Qinghai did not want to say this openly.

But he believed that Li Dong's emotional intelligence would be enough to understand!

Li Dong didn't say anything more, "Don't worry, Director Wang, I understand."

"I came to the mine this time just to do my job."

"I don't care about anything outside of my job duties."

"I will never slack off in my job duties."

Are you satisfied with this attitude?

Wang Qinghai changed the subject, "That's not what I meant. Even if it's within our duties, we can't just keep doing everything."

"The main reason is that the situation in the mine is special; if one thing is done, it will have far-reaching consequences."

“Especially our police station, which works right under the nose of Guodong Mining.”

"When you're under someone's roof, you should always strive for harmony."

"The mine is currently experiencing poor economic performance, and Hanergy Group is now trying to reduce costs and increase efficiency."

"The leaders are under a lot of pressure, and the workers are also very resentful."

"Let's avoid causing trouble as much as possible. If there are any problems, let the mine handle them internally."

"Especially with the security department..."

Li Dong understood. Wang Qinghai knew that when he reported for duty today, he had a conflict with the security department at the gate. This was a deliberate hint.

He was young and didn't like to beat around the bush. "Director Wang, are you trying to say that I shouldn't get into a conflict with Zhang Biao?"

"Today is my first day reporting for duty. Although I, Li Dong, am young and inexperienced, I am, after all, a formal police officer stationed at the police station."

“Those security guards dared to stop even a policeman.”

"If I can't get through this today, how will I be able to work in the mine in the future?"

"If Director Wang feels that my way of doing things is wrong, then I can go and apologize to the security department right now!"

Wang Qinghai was startled when he heard Li Dong get up to apologize.

Although Li Dong is just a low-level police officer, he had already made arrangements with various connections before he was assigned to the post.

He was reminded that Li Dong, this grassroots policeman, was no ordinary person; his wife was a reporter for the police force and also a leader of the Handong Police Network.

As for Li Dong himself, he also has considerable connections in Tianzhou.

Not only was Li Dong highly regarded by a leader in the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department, but even the big boss, Secretary Manjiang, knew of his name.

Therefore, Wang Qinghai really felt that Li Dong, this newcomer, was a troublesome case, and he didn't dare to treat him as a low-ranking police officer.

Today is Li Dong's first day reporting for duty. If he really makes Li Dong go and apologize...

He's gained face at the mine, but Wang Qinghai has made a mistake!

In fact, Wang Qinghai had always felt overwhelmed by Li Dong's transfer order.

He would stay at the mine for another two years and then retire.

How can Li Dong, a young policeman with a powerful background and a troublemaker, retire peacefully when his superiors send him over at a time like this?

Sure enough, on his first day of work, he got into a conflict with Zhang Biao from the security department.

Finally, Dong Shouan personally intervened to mediate, which resolved the crisis!

Wang Qinghai originally intended to give Li Dong a simple reminder, telling him to pay attention to his work methods in the future.

Unexpectedly, Li Dong really is a stubborn mule.

He jumped up before he could finish speaking!

Wang Qinghai hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Xiao Li, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Li Dong stood still and asked in return, "Director Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Qinghai's face stiffened for a moment, and he said to cover up his embarrassment, "Zhang Biao is a bit rough, but he is also a long-time employee of the mine and has a good relationship with the management."

“The reason why our mine police station can operate normally is because the mine provides office space and logistical support. If things get tense, it will be difficult to carry out our work. I’m doing this for your sake.”

"Although we are police officers, our working environment is special, so we have to learn to be flexible."

"You can't be too serious about everything, or you'll make mistakes!"

Li Dong frowned. "Being flexible is not condoning; we have a clear division of labor with the security department."

"If even we choose to back down on key issues, who will protect our legitimate rights and interests?"

Wang Qinghai sighed and patted Li Dong's hand. "That's true, but the actual situation is complicated!"

“The mine needs to maintain stability right now. If things escalate, the workers will panic and production will have to stop.”

"Hundreds or even thousands of workers are waiting for food, so it's better to avoid trouble."

"As long as no major cases occur, we'll just turn a blind eye and let it pass."

"Moreover, I know that with your abilities, Li Dong, you won't last long in the police station."

"To put it bluntly, this trip was just for gilding."

"Your superiors intend for you to go down and gain experience, in order to smooth out your rough edges."

"You must seize this opportunity to gain experience, and you should also appreciate the good intentions of your superiors."

"The deeper we sink, the more stable we must be!"

"I can also see that your future achievements, Li Dong, will be limitless and will certainly far surpass mine."

"If I can bring you out of retirement, it will be the last bit of energy I can contribute to the organization!"

Li Dong did not argue further.

He could tell that Director Wang had long since had his edges smoothed out.

His mind was filled with thoughts of "offering condolences" and "not offending anyone."

Expecting him to change the status quo?

Totally impossible!

After the two sat down again, Wang Qinghai said, "Xiao Li, I've seen your personal information."

“I have carefully reviewed all of your files, including those from the Tianzhou Police Academy and the cases you handled at the Minjin Township Police Station.”

"You're a master at handling cases."

"It's a pity that our police station at the mine probably doesn't have that many big cases for you to handle."

"Coming to our police station is indeed a waste of your talents."

"I believe that gold will shine sooner or later, and you, Li Dong, are destined not to be a pearl cast in the dark."

"Okay, let's get back to the main topic. I've already made arrangements for your job."

"But before I make any formal arrangements, I'd like to hear your opinion first."

"So, what are your thoughts on your future work at the police station?"

Li Dong couldn't help but chuckle to himself; indeed, having connections in the court made it easier to become an official.

These days, even when Director Wang assigns work, he has to listen to his thoughts first!

Li Dong stated, "Director Wang, I have no objections and will obey the organization's arrangements."

Wang Qinghai nodded. "Alright, since you don't have any ideas about this side, how about you work in the security team?"
