Xiong Jie was very interested in this. He asked about the whole process in detail, and the smile on his face became even wider.

"So, Xiaohu is still in the game?"

"Yes."

"Call him over."

A few minutes later, Hu Pingtao walked into the director's office.

Xiong Jie placed a cup of steaming green tea in front of him. Looking at the young man sitting upright in front of him, he couldn't help but smile: "I'm not here for business, so there's no need to be so formal. Well...how is the injury on your leg?"

Now, are you feeling better?"

Hu Pingtao grinned: "Uncle Xiong, don't worry! The scars have already formed."

Xiong Jie continued to ask: "How are you preparing for the civil service exam next month?"

Hu Pingtao replied confidently: "I have been reading during this period, so there should be no problem."

"That's good!" Xiong Jie gave him an encouraging look, and then a worried look appeared on his face: "You kid, just make trouble for me."

Hu Pingtao asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Xiong Jie sighed: "I'm so embarrassed because you're so good! Both the anti-narcotics team and the criminal police team are important departments in the bureau, and the palms and backs of these hands are full of flesh. Lei Yue is a Sanda master, and Wang Xiongjie is sharp-tongued. Both of them are

They are the backbone of the bureau. This bad old man like me can neither defeat them nor defeat them. Now they are both asking me for help. Tell me, what should I do?"

Xiong Jie did not exaggerate.

He had been annoyed to death by Lei Yue and Wang Xiongjie in the past two days. He asked for instructions in the morning and reported in the evening. He often made phone calls, and he had to come to the director's office from time to time to sit and talk.

The two people have the same purpose, both for Hu Pingtao.

"In the last case in Beiqing Province, when you caught a wanted criminal, Wang Xiongjie decided that you were from their criminal police team."

"This time you discovered Li Lihong's suspicions. Lei Yue didn't take you seriously before. Later, as the case made a breakthrough, he also looked at you differently. He didn't call me to harass me last night and asked me to settle down.

I had a good sleep peacefully. But he called me early this morning and he didn’t mention a word about the case. He even threatened and begged me, and refused to let you go no matter what."

Xiong Jie smiled as he spoke: "The branch has new recruits every year, and each department has a headache when recruiting new recruits. After all, new recruits need a running-in period. But you are different. Several departments have been competing for jobs before.

I have also seen that they are all people with real talent and learning. As for you...you are hard-working and smart, but you still have to go back to study to become a good piece of steel."

Hu Pingtao understood: "Uncle Xiong, what do you mean..."

"Since you are so confident in the cultural examination, I will give you a vaccination." Xiong Jie said bluntly: "You are not a regular police academy graduate. According to regulations, newcomers like you who take the civil service examination must pass the interview.

Go to the police academy for six months of closed study. Your work performance during this period has been very good. Liao Qiu, Lei Yue, and Wang Xiongjie all think highly of you. In this case, I will add some spice to your closed study——

——You will enter the special training group directly, and the training content and standards will be doubled compared to ordinary civil servants who come from outside. If you fail to meet the requirements, don’t blame me for being unkind and keeping you in the police academy to postpone your training.”

Hu Pingtao stood up quickly: "Uncle Xiong, don't worry, since I have chosen the path of police, I will definitely be strict with myself."

"Very good, what I want is your words." Xiong Jie was very satisfied with Hu Pingtao's attitude: "I'm not opening a back door for you. Not just anyone can enter the special training team. If Lei Yue didn't

With the recommendation of Wang Xiongjie and Liao Qiu, even if I give you a place, the instructors at the police academy will not give me face. The specific situation will be known after you finish the civil service exam and go there... Well, still

One thing, the interview will end next month, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. I said you should go home and have a good talk with your parents."

Hu Pingtao fell into silence for half a minute.

Xiong Jie saw the hesitation in his heart and patiently advised: "Children are the most important thing of parents, and all parents hope that their children will become successful. Of course, each family has different understandings of the word "successful". I know your father's temper.

When encountering problems, there is no need to discuss them. You are as stubborn as a cow and always face-to-face. Xiaohu, I have watched you grow up. Young people have their own personalities. In my opinion, as long as they don’t go astray, they are all good.

Okay. Let me just say one thing: You can refuse your father's actions and requests, but you must understand them, and you must understand that he will never harm you."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion. I can give you a few more days off. Your father is old and will not be able to stay in the position of commander of the military region for a few more years. Your mother will also retire in a while. Your sister is here

She is busy with her business outside, and they will be the only couple in the house from now on... Xiaohu, don't be so stubborn, as the old saying goes: Heaven and earth are kings, parents are teachers. I don't agree with foolish filial piety and foolish loyalty, but no one can find fault with filial piety to parents.

.I have called your dad several times during this period. He knows that you work here and is very satisfied with your performance. Heed my advice: put on your new uniform and go home for the holidays."

Hu Pingtao instinctively resisted.

He knew that Xiong Jie had good intentions, but it was impossible to say that he had no conflict at all.

But in all fairness, what Xiong Jie said is correct.

He hesitated for a long time and finally nodded slowly.

A happy smile appeared on Xiong Jie's face.

"Xiaohu, I'm very happy. This shows that you have indeed grown up and matured. You have to experience many things in life. What society teaches you is very different from what your parents teach you. Help your mother with some housework.

, drink with your dad a few times, and when you understand their hardships and difficulties and no longer look at the problem from the perspective of a bystander, you will find that the whole family is very warm, and it is the happiest place in the world."

…

Lei Yue was not willing to let him go at all.

But nothing he said about this matter was of any use - Hu Pingtao's transfer period had ended and the case was solved. He was originally from the Eryuan Road Police Station.

"Xiaohu, if you stay in our anti-narcotics brigade and follow me, there will be no more money than staying in the police station."

"Didn't I ask you to be the team leader before and lead everyone to investigate the case together? This team will not be replaced. The personnel and everything will remain the same. It is you who has the final say."

"I've said it all and you still don't agree... Xiaohu, you can't be too stubborn. You don't know Liao Qiu's background. Do you remember that text from when you were in school? "Indentured Work", Liao Qiu is a typical example.

A capitalist, you will definitely be squeezed to the bone in his hands. It’s better to stay here with me, you can take time off..."

Lei Yue suddenly envied Wang Xiongjie, mainly because of his sharp tongue. He deceived, threatened, and joked. But all the tricks had no effect on Hu Pingtao. He still led

With a sunny smile, he arranged his uniform, said goodbye to the people the anti-narcotics team had met over the past few days, gave a final salute, turned around and walked out of the office.

Vice Captain Li Guangyi held the tea cup and sipped it slowly: "This young man is very good, clear in thinking, down-to-earth and willing to work. He is not proud or takes credit for solving such a big case. Liao Qiu got a big advantage, no wonder he was

In a few days, he will make mistakes and send Xiaohu to follow him to investigate the case. This is obviously to let us help him cultivate talents."

"Having said that, Xiaohu's ability lies there." It was a hot day. Li Ling took off his hat and wiped the sweat on his head with a tissue: "When I first came here, I had some opinions about him. That time

While monitoring Li Lihong, Xiaohu only followed her one way in the car and saw so many problems. I have been in the anti-narcotics team for more than five years, and I have also handled Li Rongkai's case, but I didn't find any flaws in it... tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

, this guy is really good."

He Ping brushed the wild hair beside her ears, smiled at Lei Yue and said: "Captain Lei, don't say I won't help you! I originally thought you could extend Xiaohu's secondment time, but when the case is almost over, I'll give it to you

Xiaohu introduced a girlfriend, so that he would be more likely to stay in our anti-drug team. But you only care about the case and are indifferent to this aspect. Now it’s okay, even if I bring someone over to Xiaohu for a blind date, he will still

You have to go back to the police station."

Lei Yue's eyes widened: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

He Ping spread her hands: "The team is so busy, even if I want to, I have to find a suitable opportunity! Everyone is working overtime, so we can't give Xiaohu a half-day off just for this matter. This is against the rules. Besides,

, with your temper and character, if I had brought this up two days ago, wouldn’t you have scolded me to death?”

Lei Yue was a little annoyed.

But he didn't regret it.

Keeping people and working are two different things. Even if he takes the regret medicine and comes back again, he will still make the same choice at that time.

"I'll go find Mr. Xiong and have a good chat with him."

This is Lei Yue's last resort.

…

Hu Pingtao had no idea that so many wonderful and tense stories had happened around him.

The bureau sent a car to take him directly back to his original unit.

When he saw that there were still more than 200 meters away from the Eryuan Road Police Station, Hu Pingtao asked the driver to pull over. He opened the door and got out. He smiled and said hello to the driver, saying that he had something to do and would get off here.

.

This area is the junction between the urban village and the main urban area. It is very lively. There are shops around the intersection and the flow of people is dense.

Hu Pingtao walked into a clothing store on the right side of the street. The decoration of this store was ordinary, with an area of ​​more than ten square meters occupied by two rows of clothes racks, with different styles of men's and women's summer clothes hanging side by side.

, there are many women.

He picked two T-shirts and took them to the counter to check out. The price was very cheap, thirty yuan for one and sixty for two.

Although the station issued auxiliary police uniforms, Hu Pingtao still liked to wear casual clothes when taking a break. He didn't bring much clothes from home, so he had to buy some as much as he could afford.

He didn't see Dou Zhiwei standing under the traffic light pole diagonally opposite.
