I make a living solving crimes.

The courtyard in the twelfth lunar month is desolate. The trees are not green, the stones are not blue, and the sunlight cannot dispel the chill in the air.

In a season like this, the most comfortable thing should be to light a fire, drink a cup of hot tea, and wait quietly for the snowflakes to fall.

Sitting in the courtyard, watching the clouds roll by, admiring the snow falling, listening to the sound of trees while staring densely and sparsely, this leisurely and lazy life is really great!

Laziness is a disease that can only be cured by hunger and cold.

Chang Wei's life is certainly not in dire straits now, so he is feeling lazy and just wants to have a good rest, waiting to cheer up and go to Sichuan Province after the New Year.

When Fan Tuaner said that the investigation would be handed over to Du Ye and Bai Ze's team, he thought about it seriously for a while and agreed reluctantly.

Let Du Ye investigate first. It would be best if there are no spies involved. In this case, it will just be an ordinary criminal theft case and can be handed over to the local authorities for handling.

If there is, I will come out and settle the matter myself.

After making the decision, his mood instantly brightened.

Man is born good. You do the work and I mess it up.

perfect!

After the two men finished discussing work in the office and walked out of the room, they heard a lot of noise in the big office.

Wu Jimao was beaten up by Jiang Hongxia in the backyard. After careful consideration, he thought that it was Zhang Long who made him stupid.

When he returned to the office, he began to complain.

Zhang Long was not willing to admit it, but since Chang Wei was the one who said it, he did not have the courage to confront the culprit, so he started arguing with Wu Jimao in the office.

He used to hang out on Tianqiao and grew up listening to storytelling and crosstalk. He was very eloquent and Wu Jimao was soon left speechless.

Jiang Hongxia couldn't stand it anymore, so she helped Wu Jimao to fight back.

Unfortunately, both of them are not good at speaking and cannot win over Zhang Long alone.

After all, this guy is a scholar who can quote from classics.

Li Laifu and Zhao Hu were originally listening to the joke on the side, but Zhang Long got carried away and dragged them into the war, and they started a verbal battle directly.

Only Du Ye remained indifferent, holding the folder and reading the information. However, more than ten minutes passed and he did not turn the page. He did not know what was so attractive inside.

Chang Wei walked in, found a chair and sat down, took the tea that Fan Tuaner poured for him, shook his head and blew on the rim of the cup, watching the fun leisurely.

Fan Tuaner didn't try to persuade him. She pulled a chair and sat next to him, smiling.

It looked like they were arguing quite fiercely, but in fact no one was angry. They didn't even lift their butts, they just sat on the chairs and bickered.

Especially Zhang Long, he is very clear about his position in the Dragon Group. His identity as a second-generation official is useless in this place.

His greatest skill is that he can turn a serious matter into a joke, making it impossible for you to win the argument or get angry.

When the two leaders arrived, Zhang Long suddenly became speechless and didn't dare to continue teasing him.

His eyes rolled around, he slammed the table and shouted, "Team Leader, stand up!"

The office was quiet for a while, and everyone looked at Zhang Long, wondering if he was too arrogant today.

Only Chang Wei put down the cup in his hand and slowly stood up.

Zhang Long swallowed hard and looked at Fan Tuan'er again, "Political Commissar, you stand up too."

Fan Tuaner stood up with a smile on her face and stood beside Chang Wei.

Zhang Long nodded in satisfaction, pointing at the rest of the people, "Want to argue with me? I mean, everyone here... is garbage."

After saying that, he ran out of the office and rushed to the toilet.

The office was quiet, only Fan Tuaner covered her mouth and smiled silently.

This guy is a smart guy. He ended the farce without any embarrassment. He didn't lose face and you are too embarrassed to pursue it.

After being here for a long time, she gradually got to know the personalities of everyone in the group.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are second-generation people who came here to gain credit, and they have never entered the core circle of the Dragon Group. However, they have clear cognition, are proactive in their work, and can get a lot of benefits from the ministries and commissions, so they are also doing well.

Even though their fathers are only at the department level, they are at the ministry level.

In name, Hou Yong is just a department-level cadre.

That would be enough to leave even the deputy governor out in the cold.

Jiang Hongxia comes from a wealthy family and has a strong sense of justice, but she is too straightforward.

Li Laifu was born in a poor family and was taciturn. He has been trying hard to catch up with Chang Wei.

Du Ye's foundation is too weak. After joining the group, he has always been close to Chang Wei. He is considered a die-hard fan. He is also active and serious in his work, and has a bit of a metaphysical taste.

Ji Xiaowang had been suppressed for two or three years and was a little timid in character, but he was smart and well-versed in office social etiquette.

Only Wu Jimao was someone she gradually got to know through her recent conversations with Chang Wei.

He was born in a rural area in a suburban county. When he was a child, he had to help his family with farm work while studying, so he studied in solitude.

After liberation, his uncle's former comrade-in-arms came to him and arranged for Wu Jimao to study in the city, and eventually he got a government salary.

His insights and knowledge were far inferior to those of the native Beijingers, and he suffered a lot when he first arrived at the cadre school.

It was at that time that Jiang Hongxia couldn't stand being bullied by her classmates and often stood up for him. The two knew each other since childhood and grew up together.

Chang Wei said that this guy once went back to ask the old Taoist priest who gave him his name for advice on how to make everyone like him.

The old Taoist priest finally gave him two words.

Stay humble.

In a world where everyone hides their shortcomings and tries hard to show their excellence, the old Taoist priest asked him to be simple.

He had little education, and did not fully understand the difference between concealing one's shortcomings and maintaining one's shortcomings. He also could not accurately grasp the measure of maintaining one's shortcomings, so he often made jokes and was looked down upon by the police in Gulou Police Station.

He will inevitably be ordered around and ostracized for his frugality, but no one will really hate him.

In this way, he endured for three years and waited for Chang Wei.

In the words of the old Taoist priest, if you can't outsmart those people, then just don't play. Just keep your heart calm, smile indifferently at the world, and noble people will value you.

As expected, he is actually the winner in life in the Dragon Group.

When Zhang Long came back from the bathroom, the topic in the office had changed. Chang Wei was explaining the work at the steel rolling mill.

"Du Ye is responsible for cooperating with the comrades in the army. If any trace of spies is found, the follow-up investigation and arrest will be handed over to the army. Don't compete for credit."

Du Ye stood up and nodded seriously.

"If there are no spies and it is just an ordinary theft case, the local authorities will be responsible. If necessary, Lai Fu, you and Wu Jimao will go down to supervise."

Li Laifu hesitated and said, "Team Leader, shall we go down alone?"

"Yes." Chang Wei saw his apprehensive look and said with a smile, "You did a good job in the Northeast. You also handled my fall into the water very well. Don't be afraid. If something goes wrong, there are tall people to help you. Well, the minister is the tallest."

Just after all these were arranged, Wen Dao rushed in, exchanged a few words of greeting, then grabbed Chang Wei and started to run away.

"We have comrades here to cooperate with your work."

"I know, I know." Wen Dao dragged him out with all his strength, "First follow me to the steel mill to take a look around, and then help see if they have any problems."
