People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Li Zhaodi wanted to persuade Liu Haizhong to bow his head to Lin Yi.

Ever since he was humiliated by Lin Yi at the Siheyuan meeting two days ago, Liu Haizhong came back and thought about it. He felt that it was because he was not an official. If he became an official, he would be on an equal footing with Lin Yi, and the position of the boss of the Siheyuan would be firmly in his pocket.

For this reason, Liu Haizhong has been seeking to become the production team leader of their forging workshop these days.

For this purpose, I have treated everyone to dinner several times.

After hearing what Li Zhaodi said, Liu Haizhong still said with some disbelief: "That's impossible. How can he, a security officer, manage the workshop?"

"Just be stubborn."

Li Zhaodi was not optimistic that Liu Haizhong could become the team leader of the workshop. What's more, the team leader was not a proper cadre. To put it nicely, he was not even a master chef. He worked with a few low-level blacksmiths. To put it bluntly, he was just a small foreman who could not even get more money and food.

Moreover, Liu Haizhong has wanted to be the team leader for many years. If it were that easy, he would have become the leader long ago.

Li Zhaodi has now figured it out. Liu Haizhong is not destined to be an official, but he still wants to be one.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was still stubborn and refused to believe, Li Zhaodi stopped talking about these things, wiped the table clean, and said, "Clean up, it's time to eat."

Turning to walk towards the kitchen, Li Zhaodi said again: "In the future, we should spank the child less often. If we spank him and he runs away, who will take care of us in our old age?"

Liu Haizhong spat out some tea leaves and said disdainfully: "I don't think they dare. Without me as their father, they will all starve to death."

Director of the Public Security Bureau, Zhou Kangri’s home.

Feng Yao came back from her parents' home. She cooked dinner, but it was much more sumptuous and serious than the meal they had a few days ago.

Of course, the wine was gone. Feng Yao didn't like Zhou Kangri drinking. But she wasn't like some people who wouldn't let their men drink at all. Even when there were outsiders around, she didn't stop Zhou Kangri from drinking.

However, in Feng Yao's eyes, Lin Yi is one of her own family. Lin Yi is one or two years younger than her son, so he is naturally still a child.

"I didn't expect your steel mill to make a decision so quickly. I thought it would take at least another ten days or half a month."

After all, it's a deputy-section-level position, and it's a newly established one. There are many people who are envious of it. It's not easy to get it so quickly.

Originally, Zhou Kangri and Zhang Bing were thinking that if they could push Lin Yi up, they would do so. If that didn't work, they would also try to get him a deputy section chief position, and if they could raise his administrative rank by one level, they would do so.

"Uncle Zhang also said today that things have changed."

Zhou Kangri nodded and said, "I guess so. Don't tell me the details to avoid embarrassment. Zhang Bing will tell me if he is happy to."

After all, it was a matter of the steel mill, and Zhou Kangri had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

"I haven't received any notification from the district bureau yet, but it's not a big problem. It's just a matter of going through a process. After all, the steel mill has provided the personnel and the money and grain, so the district bureau just needs to issue a document."

"I'll go to the district bureau tomorrow to push things along."

"Let me think about it. Can I give you a leadership position in the police station? Even if it's just a nominal one, it will be convenient for you to do things in the future. It will give you a legitimate reason to do things."

Zhou Kangri thought about it and realized that Lin Yi was now a deputy section-level cadre in the steel rolling mill. According to his level, he could also become a deputy director of the public security station.

The reason for this idea, in addition to the mentioned job conveniences, is that having an additional position, even if it is unpaid, will serve as a qualification for Lin Yi's continued promotion in the future.

Although Lin Yi and Zhou Kangri have no blood relationship, Zhou Kangri just gets along well with Lin Yi and treats Lin Yi like his own child. He also considers Lin Yi's future.

Lin Yi entered the steel rolling mill. Although he started from a high position, he has now become a deputy section-level cadre, independently in charge of the public security department.

However, the Public Security Department and the Security Department are, after all, part of the militia. From now on, if Lin Yi continues to work in the steel rolling mill, he will be able to hold Zhang Bing's position, which is almost the top of his career. If he is luckier, he can only be transferred to the Steel Plant, but it will be difficult for him to break away from the work of public security and protection.

Just look at Zhang Bing. He has been working in the Security Department for more than ten years. If the Security Department had not been upgraded to the Security Department, he would have been able to work as the section chief until retirement.

But the situation is different in the public security field. The upper limit is much higher. At the street office level, there are district bureaus above them, and municipal bureaus above them. If you have enough ability in the future, you may even get stars on your shoulders.

As a soldier, what honor is more desirable than having a star on your shoulder?

"Is this appropriate?" Lin Yi felt that it was quite difficult for this person to hold positions in two units.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. The district still has to give some respect to the steel mill. After all, the public security department was formed by the steel mill. Giving them a nominal position doesn't put any pressure on them."

Lin Yi did not refuse. In fact, he liked the work at the Public Security Bureau more because it was more fulfilling.

The steel mill's security team usually just patrols and maintains order. They are more like a militia and are usually very idle.

It's different at the Public Security Station. The Public Security Station has to maintain the public security of the entire street, from small cases like chicken theft and lost ducks and geese to big cases like homicide and even the fight against enemy spies, the Public Security Station has to get involved.

Although it was dangerous, it was really fulfilling.

"But the police station is always understaffed. I don't think I can provide much support for your police department. You'll have to figure out how to manpower yourself."

"Since Zhang Bing said that we should look for these retired soldiers, then you can go and get them. People who left the army are always more reliable than others."

"It's just that the people in the army are arrogant. Ordinary people can't subdue them, but you should have no problem. Zhang Bing has said it many times that ordinary people can't get close to you."

"When the time comes, you can fight these people. If you win, they will naturally obey you."

"But having said that, when it comes to handling a case, don't rush forward recklessly like a fool."

"I tell you, I'm not afraid of rifles or pistols, I'm only afraid of submachine guns and machine guns. If you really encounter them, it's not shameful to crawl on the ground and pretend to be dead."

Zhou Kangri taught Lin Yi his experience in dealing with gun battles.

"No way, there are machine guns and submachine guns? This is the Fortress of Beijing."

Lin Yi didn't realize for a moment that in this day and age there are still people who dare to commit crimes on the streets with machine guns.

Zhou Kangri shook his head and said, "Don't disbelieve me. We didn't fight much when we entered Sijiu City. For the sake of stability, we didn't search the entire city thoroughly."

"We don't know where these stragglers and enemy spies are hiding. They may be hiding under different names. Although we eliminated a large number of them in the past few years, there are still many who slipped through the net and are hiding even deeper."

"Before, your security team was just patrolling, and they didn't need to use guns on a small fry like you. But now, you are in the security department, and you will also carry weapons on missions. The danger is different."

Zhou Kangri explained the current security situation to Lin Yi.

"Is it so dangerous?"

Lin Yi couldn't believe it. In the future, the city of Sijiu was famous for its safety. If that fruit knife was taken to the street, people would question it many times.

The machine gun fired, the bullets were like rain, if they hit a person, the scene would be too beautiful, Lin Yi couldn't imagine it for a moment.
