Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

I woke up in the morning, it was already seven o'clock. I washed up in a hurry, didn't even have breakfast, and hurried to work.

As soon as I rode my bicycle into the city bureau, I felt something different. People coming and going were in a hurry, as if they were too busy to keep their feet on the ground.

In the past, except for the soldiers standing guard at the door with serious expressions, almost all the police officers in the bureau looked relaxed. But today, everyone was as if facing a great enemy and spoke in soft voices.

Qin Dabao parked his bicycle in the carport and just as he walked out, Sun Qian appeared from nowhere, leaned close to him, and whispered like an enemy spy: "Where have you been these past two days? Why aren't you at work?"

Qin Dabao pinched his chubby face, which felt good. "I took two days off, what's wrong? I haven't seen you for two days. You've become the director? You have a lot of responsibilities!"

Sun Qian clapped his hands. "It hurts, it hurts, please let go." He rubbed his face and said, "Did I tell you? Our director has been replaced. He will be here soon to take over."

"Come on, what does the change of director have to do with us little minions? I'm done talking to you. I have to get back to the task force."

Before leaving, he pinched his fat cheeks again, causing Sun Qian to jump up and down and curse.

When he arrived at the small meeting room, which was also the entrance to the task force, the soldier on guard recognized him, saluted each other, and let him in.

When Qin Dabao pushed the door open, a cloud of smoke rushed towards him, making him cough.

When he got a clear look inside, he discovered that the place was full of people having a meeting. Everyone was holding a cigarette and their eyes were red.

The meeting was chaired by Long Fei and Yu Chengmin. They both looked haggard, and it was obvious that they hadn't been able to endure the past two days.

Seeing Qin Dabao coming in, Long Fei smiled and waved him to come over and sit down.

Qin Dabao saw that the conference table was occupied by police officers on one side and soldiers on the other, all of them middle-aged men in their thirties or forties. He didn't dare to sit in the front, so he smiled and waved his hand, sitting at the end.

Long Fei said with a smile: "Just come sit up front if I tell you to. Who cares about seniority? Come here, I have something to tell you."

Yu Chengmin also smiled and waved. Qin Dabao laughed and put his hands together to apologize to the people present.

Then he walked over to Long Fei and sat down, taking off his hat and putting it on the table.

He just looked around and didn't see Lao Qin and Zhu Jun. He was about to ask,

Yu Chengmin spoke up: "Lao Dang took Qin Weide and Zhu Jun to Shanxi and found out where the explosives came from."

Long Fei pushed the front door in front of him towards Lu Yi.

"You've had a great time these past two days. I've been so busy I really regret giving you a day off."

Qin Dabao took out a Zhonghua cigarette from his bag with a big smile on his face and flattered the two team leaders.

"Okay, Xiao Qin, the quality of your cigarettes is not low." Yu Chengmin smiled. After listening to Dang Jianjun's talk about Dabao's performance, he also wanted to recruit him.

"Haha, just so-so."

Long Fei pushed a document over and said, "The black market case has been exposed. The department took over the case yesterday. It is no longer our responsibility. Now we should focus on the case of the enemy spy.

Xie Yu and Li Shuping confessed everything. They actually made arrests in the past two days. As of five this morning, they had captured thirty-seven enemy spies from Taiwan, confiscated one and a half tons of explosives, and twelve radio stations.

This does not include the achievements of the Party Group Leader's trip to Shanxi."

Yu Chengmin interjected, "It's terrifying just thinking about it. A ton and a half of explosives, if it exploded, it would be a major event."

"So I discussed it with Team Leader Yu and decided to give you the credit for the first victory."

"Yes, Xiao Qin, you have made the greatest contribution to this case, and we in the Second Division are also preparing to reward you."

Long Fei felt that Yu Chengmin's words did not make sense, as if he wanted to poach people. Qin Dabao is from the public security department and has nothing to do with your military. Does he need your military to reward him for his merits?

Dabao had never been one for pretentiousness. Why would he feign modesty and decline what was rightfully his? Moreover, even if he had no desire to rise to higher positions, a second- or third-class merit award was like having a protective amulet.

Qin Dabao said gracefully, "Thank you, team leaders."

Long Fei was surprised. The boy's profile said he was only eighteen years old in a month and a half. He had been studying all these years, so how could he be so calm? He admired Dabao even more.

Yu Chengmin breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we have caught all the enemy spies in one fell swoop. However, there are too many enemy spies, and we can't catch them all. Most of the enemy spies we dug out this time were those who lurked in before the liberation of Beijing. They are concentrated in important units such as steel mills, machinery factories, and machine tool factories.

It seems that after the New Year, we need to focus on investigating and sorting out the situation."

Long Fei nodded: "I will report to the bureau. Xiao Qin, you are from the Public Security Department, so you will have to contribute more when the time comes."

Qin Dabao secretly groaned. The workers and cadres in these factories must have tens of thousands of people in total. The workload of investigating them would wear him down. It seemed that transferring to logistics was the top priority now.

He turned around and saw that everyone was checking the materials and only the three of them were chatting.

At this moment, a soldier standing guard outside the conference room shouted, "Salute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room was pushed open and a group of people walked in.

The one walking in front was an old man, thin and energetic, wearing a clean uniform. The current official uniform is an upgraded version of the 55 version. There is no police rank, only two bright red collar badges on the collar.

The old man was not wearing a hat and had short gray hair.

Next to him was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a handsome face and some graying at the temples. He was also wearing official clothes.

He and the old man did not walk side by side, but were staggered by a fist's length, which meant that the old man had the highest status, but the middle-aged man was only slightly lower.

Behind them, two more people came in one after another. One of them was recognized by Qin Dabao, and it was Deputy Director Liu Jingru.

When Long Fei saw the old man in front of him, he immediately stood up, saluted, and shouted: "Stand up."

Everyone in the task force in the conference room stood up and saluted.

The old man smiled and waved his hand, and the four people walked up to Long Fei, Yu Chengmin, and Qin Dabao.

Long Fei was very excited: "Hello, Chief."

Qin Dabao immediately realized that this must be a senior leader in the department.

The old man stretched out his right hand, and Long Fei shook hands with him.

"Comrade Long Fei, thank you for your hard work. I'm here on behalf of the department to visit you all and to see Director Lu off to his new post." The old man spoke with a thick Sichuan accent.

Yu Chengmin took a half step forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the commander, I am Chengmin from the Second Department of the General Staff."

The old man raised his hand in return and shook hands with Yu Chengmin: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Chengmin replied solemnly, "It's not hard at all. Thank you for your concern, Chief."

The old man turned to Qin Dabao, who stood at attention and saluted: "Sir, I'm Qin Dabao from the Public Security Department."

The old man smiled and said, "You are Qin Dabao? Good, good. I heard that you discovered this case? Not bad, not bad. Heroes emerge from youth. Our cause has successors."

Qin Dabao was also very excited, but he remained calm on the surface.

The middle-aged man was also shaking hands with Long Fei and Yu Chengmin one by one. When he shook hands with Qin Dabao, he was stunned when he saw his appearance.

But he immediately returned to normal: "Hello, Comrade Qin Dabao, I am Lu Jianbang."

Qin Dabao knew in his heart that this must be the new director.

The man standing next to Liu Jingru also introduced himself. He was the new deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, Wang Guohua.

Several people shook hands with the task force members one by one, turned around and left without saying anything more.

As soon as he left the house, Wang Guohua said, "Director, that Xiao Qin looks like you, isn't he your illegitimate child?"

The old man and Liu Jingru both laughed.

This Lu Jianbang was originally the political commissar of a certain army. After the Peninsula Campaign, he was transferred to Shanghai. This time he returned to Beijing to take up his post. It was the boss who personally ordered him to return to Beijing to turn the tide.

Wang Guohua has always been his right-hand man. This time, he and Lu Jianbang went to Beijing together and became partners.

Lu Jianbang was also promoted. The director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau was always a high-ranking official and held the position of deputy minister in the ministry.

Lu Jianbang punched Wang Guohua and scolded him, "Nonsense! You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."

The two men have been comrades-in-arms for decades and are friends for life and death. If it were anyone else, they would never dare to joke like this no matter what.
