After New Year's Day in 1978, there were only more than 40 days left until the Chinese New Year, and the city of Peking had already begun to have a festive atmosphere. Even the biting north wind could not stop people's enthusiasm for the festival.

As the first festival after the end of the movement, many people who had just regained their freedom and those educated youth who returned to their hometowns took to the streets. Although everyone's clothes were still not very good, it could not stop their enthusiasm.

Zhao Cheng walked on the street and looked at the educated youth, both men and women. The educated youth who had just returned to the city were full of hope. They were full of hope that they could study again or find a job.

However, the educated youth in the city had no idea that they would face a difficult road to survival. Because there were few jobs, only a small number of those who returned to the city were given jobs, while the majority of the others had to wait in line.

Zhao Cheng will also face increasingly busy work. As the police chief of the Xicheng District Branch, he has a heavy responsibility.

After Zhao Cheng arrived at the bureau, he walked into his own office. The office here was much more spacious than his director's office. The former director had been suspended for investigation. After all, he was a close confidant of Director Liu and must be of the same kind.

After Zhao Cheng took over, apart from those who had previously followed the director in his work, no other personnel were adjusted. After all, they were all old acquaintances, and everyone knew each other well.

Zhao Cheng also sent Yu Zecheng back to the Ministry of Social Affairs, and used his power to bring Zhang Yuan over from Dongcheng to serve as his deputy director.

"Director Zhao, why are you here so early today?" Zhang Yuan saw Zhao Cheng coming and went straight to his office.

"Don't mention it. The kids have to go to school early this morning, so I have to get up early too." Zhao Cheng said helplessly, stroking his shiny forehead.

"I heard Li Tian called me and said he was introducing a girl to your eldest son, who is from the art troupe. How is it going?" Zhang Yuan and Li Tian are also comrades-in-arms and have fought side by side.

"Those female soldiers in the art troupe are so arrogant. How could they be interested in people like us from a humble family?" Zhao Cheng said with a sneer.

"You are talking without any concern. Your family is still a small family?" Zhang Yuan stared at Zhao Cheng directly.

This instructor is really fooling around all the time, even fooling himself. Others don't understand, but he doesn't understand? Although Zhao Cheng is only the director of Xicheng District, don't forget that he is a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau.

And it seems this is just a temporary transition. Maybe in two years he will be promoted to the official director. Who knows what the future will be like!

Is this kind of family considered a small one? Of course, compared to those real big shots, it is indeed a small one, but ordinary families can't compare at all, right?

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's a good thing you came. Otherwise, I would have wanted to look for you too!" Zhao Cheng smiled and continued.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Nowadays, more and more young people are returning to their hometowns, and there are more and more educated youth who are unemployed. Many of them will just hang around when they have nothing to do. This can easily cause problems. We must take precautions early." Zhao Cheng said seriously.

"What are your plans?" Zhang Yuan certainly knew the answer to this question, so he asked curiously.

"I think we can start propaganda throughout the jurisdiction now, and remind those educated youth who have returned to the city that anyone found causing trouble will be dealt with severely and strictly. We also need to keep a good registration system. Anyone who has a stranger or an educated youth who has returned to the city must take the initiative to register at the local police station. Let them stay at home and look for jobs quietly. If they don't have a job, just stay at home!" said Zhao Cheng.

"Isn't it too harsh? Besides, we are only issuing the notice in the name of Xicheng District Public Security Bureau. Isn't it a bit inappropriate? How about you report it to the Municipal Bureau first?" Zhang Yuan was a little hesitant.

"No need. We just sent out a notice. We are not really going to do anything. This can be considered as giving those people a heads-up in advance. And adding my name at the end of the notice will allow those old guns to give me a little face!" Zhao Cheng said.

"Okay, then I'll ask the Propaganda Department to make a notice and post it on every street! But will this really work?" Zhang Yuan said.

"It's definitely useful, but I don't know how much my face, Zhao Cheng, is worth in the eyes of those old guns!" Zhao Cheng said quietly with deep eyes.

Zhang Yuan acted quickly and prepared the notice before lunch. Looking at the notice, Zhao Cheng arranged for people to start distributing it to major locations in the jurisdiction.

It is required that arrangements be made in almost every compound or alley so that everyone can know the situation.

As the notice was posted, people soon noticed it, especially the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau Chief Zhao Cheng mentioned at the end of the notice, which reminded many people of the fear they had experienced when being taught a lesson by Zhao Cheng before.

In fact, the purpose of Zhao Cheng issuing this notice was to intimidate those children from the courtyards who returned to the city. Because they were implicated in the gang fight organized by Li Yuanchao, all the participants were arranged to go to the countryside, and even Li Yuanchao could not escape.

After he recovered from his injury, he was forced to go to the countryside. Although he was only sent to a village in Miyun, Li Yuanchao's prestige dropped a lot, and he no longer had the situation where everyone obeyed his orders.

West City is an area where many large courtyards are concentrated, so many of the children from these courtyards have heard of Zhao Cheng's name and know how powerful he is.

As for the younger ones, some had heard of Zhao Cheng, while others had no idea who he was. After all, Zhao Cheng had been silent for many years and had almost become a legend.

"Damn, this living devil is not dead yet, what bad luck!" In a restaurant in West City, an old soldier who had just returned home heard the news brought by his companions and couldn't help cursing.

"What's wrong, Brother Li? This bullshit notice is just a notice issued by the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau itself. It's not even from the Municipal Bureau! Is there anything strange about it?" A young man said nonchalantly.

"You know shit. It's because the Living King of Hell didn't deal with you! Have you heard of the famous Li Yuanchao and the little bastard? The little bastard and his two brothers were captured by the Living King of Hell himself. Li Yuanchao was also dealt with by the Living King of Hell many times. Can you be better than them?" The man called Brother Li looked at the young man with disdain and said to him.

"Is it so awesome? Why haven't I heard of it?" The young man was also shocked when he heard Brother Li's introduction.

"Haha, you were still young at that time. He was just the director of Xizhimen Police Station before the movement. As soon as the movement ended, he became the Public Security Bureau Chief of Xicheng District. I thought he was demoted to the district, but I didn't expect that he was one of the first batch of people rehabilitated! It's really strange!" Brother Li was puzzled.
