Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Except for Long Fei, no one in the Public Security Department knew that Qin Dabao was already a deputy section-level cadre, let alone that he was about to go to the Public Security College for further studies.

It wasn't until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when the school term started, that the legend about Qin Dabao started to spread within the Municipal Bureau. All sorts of rumors were spread, and it had even gotten to the point where it was said that Qin Dabao was the illegitimate son of a certain department head. But that was the end of it, and there was no more gossip to be made up.

But Dabao didn't hear any of this because he had to take the notice to report.

After more than five months, Qin Dabao walked into the campus again, but this campus was the highest institution of the public security department.

The campus is very simple, with only bungalows, and from a distance it looks more like a military camp.

The highest institution of public security is not as good as a township middle school in later generations, especially the gate, the stone pillars on both sides, and two gates welded with iron railings in the middle. Next to the gate is the guard room. Qin Dabao pushed open the iron gate and came to the window of the guard room.

Strangely enough, it seems that guardhouses all over the country are the same, with very high windowsills and small windows underneath the large windows in the door frame, so the person has to tilt his head to look inside.

The doorman is the same all over the country, an old man wearing reading glasses, looking down at people, appearing superior.

Qin Dabao took out his work ID and handed in the notice. The security guard carefully examined the ID and looked at him for a minute. This made Qin Dabao exclaim in admiration. After all, this was a Public Security College. Even the old man guarding the gate had the air of a criminal investigation expert. The guard waved his hand and let him in.

As soon as you enter the school gate, there is a large playground, but this playground is empty, there is no fitness equipment, and even the ground is overgrown with weeds.

There are two rows of bungalows on the left and right of the playground. They are all the same layout, but there is a long sign hanging on the gate on the right. It should be a place like the Academic Affairs Office.

There is a house behind, I don't know if it is a classroom or a dormitory.

Dabao went directly to the bungalow on the right, which was indeed the school office. Looking through the window, each office was very large, and there were teachers reciting lessons and chatting inside.

He walked along the corridor and saw an office door with the words "Dean's Office" written on it. He knocked on the door and went in.

There was only one young man in the Academic Affairs Office, leaning over the table filling out some forms.

The young man was in his twenties, dark-skinned, and looked like a coal ball that had turned into a spirit. He looked up and saw Qin Dabao, and asked lazily, "Who are you?" His tone was very impatient.

Qin Dabao took out a cigarette and handed it to him. He only smoked white Zhonghua cigarettes now. With his grandfather's support, he was completely free from smoking and drinking. There was no other way. Smoking other cigarettes would make him cough...

When the young man saw the cigarettes, he immediately stood up and his tone immediately became extremely enthusiastic. Haha, this is the charm of special cigarettes. In the eyes of ordinary people, the person who smokes these cigarettes must not be an ordinary person.

"Comrade, are you here to study?"

Qin Dabao nodded and placed his work permit and notice on the table. The young man opened them and smiled even brighter. "Fuck! There's only one such deputy section chief in the country at the age of 18."

He took another look at the notice and was even more shocked. He had heard from the director that this time, ten places for further studies were given to the Beijing Public Security Bureau, but only one was accepted.

The director was still wondering, generally speaking, these places for further studies are only considered too few, not too many, so how could there be more than enough? It was so strange.

Of course, they could not imagine that this was Lu Jianbang's special favoritism for his nephew, and he did not want any of his peers to get ahead of Qin Dabao.

Qin Dabao put the cigarette box on the table. The young man understood what he meant at a glance. He bared his teeth and put the cigarettes into the drawer of his desk with a wide mouth.

After chatting for a few words, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other. The young man was called Qi Zhenhe, and he was the secretary of the Academic Affairs Office. Qi Zhenhe introduced the basic situation of the school. At present, there are more than 500 full-time students in the Public Security College. There are two sessions a year for students like him to continue their studies while working. Because it is open to the whole country, there are more than 100 students in each session.

However, further studies are different from being students. Those who come here to study all have positions and study different courses, but the graduation certificate is the same for college students.

Qi Zhenhe also introduced that these police officers who are studying further can eat in the cafeteria for free and can live in the dormitory or go to school as a day student.

Of course Qin Dabao chose to go to school as a day student. He couldn't stand the poor conditions of living in the dormitory.

Qi Zhenhe took him to the door of an office and knocked.

"Come in."

Qi Zhenhe and Dabao pushed the door open and a man working at a desk raised his head with a serious expression.

"Director, this is Comrade Qin Dabao from the Beijing Municipal Bureau. He's here to report. Xiao Qin, this is Director Zhou from our Academic Affairs Office."

Qin Dabao, dressed in his official uniform, stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, Director Zhou."

Director Zhou is a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair is slightly gray and his navy blue uniform is a little white from washing, but it is very clean.

He looked at Qin Dabao, took the work permit and notice handed over by Qi Zhenhe, and said with a smile: "Your file arrived the day before yesterday. You are only eighteen years old. You are really a young man to be feared. You won the first-class merit right after joining the work."

Qi Zhenhe secretly sucked his teeth. Is he really that awesome? A first-class merit winner? Such an amazing person could walk around the academy with impunity.

"Xiao Qi, please register Comrade Qin Dabao, arrange a dormitory for him, and assign him to Class 2."

"Yes!" Qi Zhenhe agreed and brought Dabao out.

Arriving at the back house, Qi Zhenhe pointed to the brick building in front and said, "This is the dormitory. Let's get to know our classmates first."

Dabao could feel Qi Zhenhe's enthusiasm. This was the charm of the special cigarettes. He was not an ungrateful person. He had to give in to the favor given by others, so he agreed with a smile.

As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, a smell almost made Qin Dabao fall over. It was hard to tell what kind of mixed smell it was, anyway, it was a mixture of mold, feet, etc. This smell could definitely cure the chronic rhinitis.

It took him a while to recover, but Qi Zhenhe was used to it.

The dormitory is quite spacious, with a large kang against the wall that can accommodate more than ten people.

On the wooden shelf in the corner, the wash basin is on the bottom row, with towels on the basins, and the toothbrush and toothpaste are on the top row, all in a mess.

Opposite the kang were three desks, on which were scattered a few picture books, the edges of which were frayed.

Six people were either squatting or sitting on the big kang, shouting and playing poker, their faces all covered with newspaper strips.

Seeing someone coming in, one of them turned around and called out, "Who is it? Is it Qi, the manager? What's going on?"

School hasn't started yet, so Qi Zhenhe didn't say much. Besides, these were cadres who came from all over the country to study, and they all had ranks, some even at the deputy director level. They were far beyond the reach of a small clerk like him.

He smiled and said, "It's okay. Comrade Qin Dabao from the Beijing Municipal Bureau has come to report. I'll bring him to the dormitory for a tour."

When they heard that there was a new person, several people put down their cards and turned around to watch the fun.

"Oh, this guy is quite young."

"It is related to the designation,"

"Don't be such a jerk, are you okay?"

"That's right, stop talking nonsense. Hey? This guy is quite good-looking."

It was obvious from the words that they were a bunch of rough people, but they were quite to Qin Dabao's liking. People like them were easy to make friends with.

Dabao knew that if these people did not make any political mistakes in the next few decades, they would become the police bosses in various places.

He chuckled and took out cigarettes from his bag. Of course, they were not special cigarettes, but ordinary Zhonghua cigarettes. He started to smoke.

It is said that cigarettes build bridges and wine paves the way, this has shortened the distance between them.

A few people took the cigarettes with laughter.

"Zhonghua? Damn, what a good cigarette!"

"People in Beijing are awesome. Even kids this young smoke Zhonghua cigarettes."

Qi Zhenhe grinned at the side. "Are you cursing me? I'm from Beijing too, and now I can't even get into Daqianmen."

Within two minutes, several people became familiar with Dabao and introduced themselves to each other.

The six of them came from all over the country, including Qiu Hongwu from Fengtian Municipal Bureau, Wang Shengli from Changchun, Li Liang from Jinan, Zhao Bin from Baoding, Tan Xiaoming from Tianjin, and Li Daqing from Langfang.

These people are all in their thirties, with ranks ranging from section chief to deputy director. Most of them are full-time employees of the Public Security Bureau. They will be promoted to a higher level after returning from this training.

People at that time didn't pay much attention to hygiene, especially the men who had just returned from the battlefield. They hardly took a bath in winter. Qin Dabao couldn't stand the smell of oily hair and sweaty feet, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

He politely declined the offer to go to the cafeteria for dinner. After saying goodbye to Qi Zhenhe, he went straight back to the military compound. He had promised his sister yesterday that he would make dumplings with pork and green onion stuffing for them.
