Li Weifang said: "Xiaohu said he doesn't want to change his current career. This young man is still very good at talking. Let me say "thank you" to you for him. He also said that if you need help in the future, you can call him. As long as you don't

He is willing to help anyone who breaks the law."

Zhu Yubin couldn't help but laugh: "As expected of a policeman, he speaks impeccably."

Li Weifang nodded and said: "Yes! We owe him a big favor this time. It would be fine if Hu Pingtao transferred here, but he refused... Lao Zhu, this is really no place to give even if there are benefits."

A look of regret appeared on Zhu Yubin's face: "Guo Lingyu called specifically this morning and asked about Hu Pingtao, saying that her mother would return to Xiangjiang tomorrow and planned to give him a gift."

Li Weifang's eyes flashed: "It seems that you are right. Guo Lingyu and her mother have a very good impression of Xiaohu. They can contact the Guo Group through him in the future."

Zhu Yubin nodded slowly and sighed: "It's true over there at the Public Security Department. Anyone can be a police officer. Talents are so rare. Wouldn't it be great if they were given to our Department of Commerce?"

Li Weifang reminded from the side: "The key is that Xiaohu doesn't want to come."

Zhu Yubin thought for a moment: "Otherwise, let's put it aside in advance and focus on negotiating with the Guo Group these days to confirm their investment quota as soon as possible and then make the payment."

They are all old friends for many years, and Li Weifang understands this well: "What do you mean, let the Public Security Department temporarily help us train him?"

"You still have to have a relationship, and you can keep in touch with each other by frequent visits." Zhu Yubin said with a smile: "Isn't Hu Pingtao's staff in the Gudu branch? Well, let's cut a part of the sponsorship fee to the Provincial Public Security Department and allocate it directly to Gudu

Branch. We still have this little operational freedom."

Li Weifang spoke more directly: "It's better to designate the police station where Xiaohu works. After all, they are all brothers and one family."

Zhu Yubin had no objection to this: "Okay, you can handle it. The procedures are handled by the province, as are the appropriation procedures. In short, everything follows the rules."

…

Noon the next day.

Hu Pingtao drove the office's official car into the branch gate, stopped, and Liao Qiu got out of the passenger seat and took him into the director's office.

Xiong Jie sat on a chair with a document in front of him. He crossed his fingers with his hands and supported his chin with the back of his hands, obviously thinking.

Seeing the two people walking into the room, Xiong Jie leaned back and returned to his normal sitting posture. He raised his finger and pointed at the water dispenser diagonally opposite: "The paper cups are below and the tea leaves are in the cabinet. Do it yourself."

Liao Qiu walked to the desk with a cup of freshly brewed tea, pulled up a folding chair and sat down, and asked curiously: "Xiong Bureau, what's the matter with calling us here in such a hurry?"

Half an hour ago, Liao Qiu received a call. Xiong Jie asked him to put down what he was doing and immediately brought Hu Pingtao to the branch.

But Xiong Jie didn't mention anything about the specific matter on the phone. He just said: You will find out when you come over.

Xiong Jie turned his attention to Hu Pingtao.

His eyes were very complicated, with elements of appreciation, envy, jealousy, regret, and of course pride.

"Xiaohu, it's the same thing I told you before." Xiong Jie said: "The Department of Commerce wants to transfer you here."

"I'm not going." Hu Pingtao shook his head without thinking: "I'm doing a good job here, why should I go to the Commerce Department?"

Xiong Jie leaned his upper body forward and tapped the document on the table with his fingers: "That's what I replied. But the problem now is that people don't just ask for people now, but they spend money to come over."

, the price is clearly marked and I want you to buy it.”

"The Department of Commerce has given an annual sponsorship quota of 10 million, of which 5 million is for the department and 1 million for the branch." At this point, Xiong Jie looked at Liao Qiu and said meaningfully: "You are lucky, the Department of Commerce directly

Four million was allocated to the Eryuan Road Police Station and a financial account was designated. No matter whether the provincial department, municipal bureau or branch office wanted to withdraw from it, they would not give a penny and all the money would be taken back directly."

Liao Qiu and Hu Pingtao were stunned.

"Is there still such an operation?"

"Why?"

Xiong Jie answered these two questions one by one.

"This is not the normal annual allocation given to us by the Provincial Department of Finance, but the money given by the Department of Commerce in the form of sponsorship. The reason is very simple, just like two units engaging in a friendship, with the consent of the leaders of both parties and reporting to the superior department.

, we can support each other in terms of funds. The money given to us by the Department of Commerce has been reported to the province and is an increase in addition to the annual normal appropriation. It has been designated as a special fund and can only be used to purchase police equipment and renovate office spaces.

."

Liao Qiu blew on the slightly hot tea and said with a smile: "Can't it be used to pay bonuses?"

"You dream!" Xiong Jie snorted coldly: "We said it was a special fund, otherwise the province would not agree to this additional allocation, and the Department of Commerce would not be able to give us this money in vain."

Liao Qiu's thinking was very flexible, and he always had a smile on his face: "This money came in time. Haha, you know, Bureau Xiong, that many of the equipment in our institute are aging, and the number of electric patrol vehicles is not enough.

I made several reports, but there has been no approval. Speaking of which, the Department of Commerce is pretty good, and they gave me four million at once, hehehehe..."

Xiong Jie looked at him coldly: "I think you belong to Pixiu. You can't pull it out even if you open your mouth and swallow it. Do you think those guys in the Commerce Department are out of good intentions and really want to help us replace our equipment? Bullshit! They

They are targeting Xiaohu and exchanging money for others."

With that said, Xiong Jie explained the whole story.

Liao Qiu was not a fool. He had heard about this before, but he just didn't know the details. But he had other plans in mind, so he scratched his head and suddenly realized: "So that's it. I thought this money was stuff that fell from the sky."

Here’s the cake!”

Xiong Jie is not an idiot. He can guess what Liao Qiu is thinking at this moment. The coldness on his face is as cold as ice that has not melted at all: "Don't pretend to me! I will give you a vaccination first: Xiao Husheng

He is a member of our public security system, and his death is the fault of our public security system. No matter how much money the Department of Commerce gives, I will not let him go."

Hu Pingtao could only smile bitterly when he heard this: "Xiong Bureau, what you said... I feel like I signed a contract of betrayal with you by becoming a civil servant."

"Adults are talking, children, don't interrupt." Xiong Jie turned his head and glanced at him, and said unhappily: "You sit down for now, I will see you later for something else."

Liao Qiu was a cheeky man, so he took the opportunity to ask with a smile: "Xiong Bureau, when can these four million be allocated?"

Xiong Jie stared at him coldly: "Why, do you really want this money?"

"We have difficulties in our institute!" Liao Qiu lamented repeatedly and expressed her bitterness: "The dormitory in our institute is a temporary building, and even the roof is just a thin iron sheet. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. Mr. Xiong, please find time to come and stay for two days.

I know, that feeling is not something humans should endure."

"I won't talk about the personnel problem. I understand that the bureau has difficulties. The problem of equipment must be solved! How can it be possible to achieve motorization if there are not enough electric vehicles? The 110 command center called us and asked us to do so within five to ten minutes.

Rush to the scene. But if the distance is too far, there is nothing we can do. If we don’t have a car, we can only run there, let alone ten minutes, even half an hour is not enough.”

"Then there is the law enforcement recorder, which has a low battery capacity and can be used for up to four hours. Electronic products are updated very quickly, not to mention that our office has not issued new instruments in six years."

Xiong Jie smacked his lips: "It's useless for you to complain to me. This money doesn't even belong to the municipal bureau. If it weren't for Xiaohu's sake, the ten million would be directly allocated to the provincial department, and it would be impossible to spend even half of it."

Give it to the branch. You can weigh the relationship yourself."

Liao Qiu said with a playful smile: "I know, so I never thought about asking for the four million yuan! Xiong Bureau, I only want three million, and you can take care of the rest."

"The Department of Commerce requires special funds to be used exclusively, so the money will be transferred directly to your office's account." Xiong Jie took a deep breath: "You keep five hundred thousand, and the rest will be transferred to the branch account. There are so many police stations down there, I can't let you

If one person eats meat, others can’t even drink soup.”

"This won't work!" Liao Qiu suddenly shook his head like a rattle and screamed: "There is a huge difference between four million and five hundred thousand. Xiong Bureau, you are just sending beggars away! You have already said that this is for the sake of Xiaohu from the Commerce Department.

The money given in the face. If it weren’t for Xiaohu, they wouldn’t give me a penny.”

"I don't see that you are quite greedy." Xiong Jie's face remained ugly: "Seven hundred thousand, no more."

Liao Qiu argued hard: "Then I will give in a little bit, 2.8 million. You have to be considerate of me, Mr. Xiong! The work below is difficult, not to mention that Xiaohu is still one of our people."

"Two hundred and eighty... You can tell me this number. Why didn't you say two and a half million?" Xiong Jie looked at the other side with contempt: "If you really admit this two hundred and fifty, I..."

Liao Qiu immediately stood up from the chair, hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Xiong Jie's wrist, and interrupted the other party with a smile: "Xiong Bureau, I am relieved by your words. Two hundred and five is two hundred and five, this is what you said with your golden tongue."

Two and a half million, and the extra one and a half million, when the money arrives, I will have the finance department transfer it to the branch, and there won’t be a penny less.”

Xiong Jie was speechless for a while, unable to laugh or cry.

He has an easy-going temperament. As long as there are no issues of principle, the people below him are always laughing and joking with him as the branch chief. In fact, he just slapped Liao Qiu casually on this matter today. After all, the Department of Commerce directly transferred the money to the Eryuan Road Police Station account.

If Liao Qiu doesn't nod, the branch won't be able to get the money.

What's more, what Liao Qiu said is true. The equipment at the grassroots police stations is aging and it is indeed time to replace it in batches.

"Forget it for today, I'll settle the score with you next time!" Xiong Jie pointed at Liao Qiu and said viciously.

Liao Qiu immediately behaved after receiving the benefit. His eyes narrowed with a smile and became two curved slits: "Xiong Bureau, this is sooner rather than later. You have given us such great support, and there is nothing I can say."

Thank you very much. Well, Xiaohu happens to be here too, so I’ll call Lei Yue and Wang Xiongjie, and we’ll go out to eat at noon.”

"Hmph! You are obviously a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken..." As soon as the words came out, Xiong Jie immediately realized that this metaphor was really inappropriate and quickly changed his words: "The lunch dinner has been arranged. I asked you to come here in a hurry just for this reason.

.You have to be a guest, forget about Lei Yue and Wang Xiongjie, they will only cause chaos when they come."

Liao Qiu and Hu Pingtao both focused their attention on Xiong Jie.

The former is full of curiosity.

The latter is a question.

Xiong Jie didn't explain. Seeing that the time was almost up, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number of the Human Resources Department.

…

There is a fish restaurant next to the Gudu branch, and its signature dish is spicy fish.

In Dian Province, people are used to stir-frying the dried chili peppers in a pot, or roasting them directly on the fire. In short, when the surface becomes partially black and exudes a pungent paste smell. Take the dry chili peppers out of the pot and use your hands.

Knead it into pieces, it will be bright red, and the previous paste smell will also become a strong fragrance when the spicy taste is neutralized.

There are two ways to cook fish. One is the local method, using whole tilapia or crucian carp, scraping the scales and washing them, adding lemongrass and various condiments, and the secret soup into the pot, and the water will boil and it will be cooked.

, rich flavor, fresh and tender fish, and full of spicy taste.
