Jin Yang returned to the office of the Transportation Bureau, turned on the water dispenser, turned on the computer, and opened half a window, and then sat down peacefully.

As soon as the butt fell, the phone rang. As soon as he saw that it was the number of Song Guangming, the deputy director of the Chengnan Police Station, he immediately connected and said with a smile: "There must be good news from the Song Office." ”

Song Guangming's rough laughter came from the microphone, and he said haha: "I don't know if it's my brother's means or luck, Chang Long is in big trouble this time, hum!" He's going to have to get an upgrade. ”

Upgrading the room is a common language used by the Xihai Public Security, to the effect that the case is escalated and transferred to a higher police agency, or that the school-age criminals in the juvenile detention center dig up a serious case and transfer it to the prison.

He can understand upgrading the room, but what is the matter of luck? Jin Yang was puzzled, "What does this luck mean?" ”

Song Guangming replied quickly: "As far as Chang Long's current case is concerned, if their lawyer is strong, it will be one to two years of labor re-education at most. However, this morning, the provincial department issued an official document to strictly prevent juvenile delinquency, and cooperated with the nation's crackdown on gangsters and severely punished juvenile delinquents. Ha ha! ”

Jin Yang said calmly: "His harmful surname is to some extent greater than that of many adults, and the impact is even worse." Without an official document from the provincial department, he couldn't run away this time. ”

"Hmmm! That's right, and today several small businesses in my jurisdiction secretly set off firecrackers to celebrate. Song Guangming changed the topic and said affectionately: "On the one hand, I am telling you the news, no matter how Huang Yong jumps, Chang Long will be sentenced; In addition, I want to invite my brother out for a few glasses of wine, I don't know when my brother is convenient? ”

Jin Yang knew that he valued his ability to go straight to the provincial department, so he started to communicate, which is human nature, and it is too normal. So he smiled and said, "I don't have time today, I'll invite you tomorrow." ”

Song Guangming is also a simple person, and immediately said: "A word is a certainty, I will wait for your call tomorrow." ”

Jin Yang put down the phone and thought thoughtfully. Song Guangming made a brief inquiry, and his official position in the Qingyuan public security system was not large, but he was more prestigious. He has served as the deputy squadron leader of the criminal police, the deputy director of three police stations, and an instructor.

Regarding the deputy leader, since he told Uncle Jin that he was transferred back to the Qingyuan Transportation Bureau as the second-in-command, the uncle talked to him a lot about the pros and cons of the deputy position. From Uncle Jin's point of view, in a leadership group, the deputy leader is an important role, and it is also a relatively special role, which plays a key role in connecting the upper and lower levels and dividing labor and responsibility. Therefore, if you don't know how to be a deputy, it will be difficult to become a qualified 'number one'.

This also means that only by being good at being a deputy can you expect to become an excellent 'number one'.

Song Guangming undoubtedly has the potential to be an excellent 'number one'. Whether from a personal point of view or a public-to-public point of view, he admires Song Guangming more than ever, and after Cheng Baoguo's commercial investigation company began to lay out in Xihai Province, it was inevitable that it would have connections with local public security departments...... Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed a phone number that he had wanted to dial for a long time but didn't have a chance.

To his surprise, the number was connected, but it remained unanswered.

He became worried, so he got up, turned off his computer, and walked out of the office.

In the corridor, several agency employees, both men and women, chose to bow their heads and avoid him when they saw him, as if he was a plague messenger.

Jin Yang sighed inwardly, but on the surface, he nodded his head very gracefully to say hello.

"Xiao Li, print the document for the director?"

"Lao Zhang, I didn't sleep at noon. Although work is important, the body is the cost of work! ”

"Hello Section Chief Sun!"

Although the responses he received were of poor quality and unexpected, he continued to greet any staff member he could remember as he went downstairs.

He knows very well that leaders certainly need respect, in fact, subordinates need respect even more, whether it is King Wen of Zhou pulling Jiang Shang or Liu Bei Sangu thatched house, it all shows this. Only if you treat your subordinates as human beings, they will give you a horse to ride; If you look at your subordinates as horses, the rebound of their self-esteem will make them see themselves as people.

In fact, the effect is also obvious. Just as he left the building, several bureau office workers whispered.

"You say, if Jin Yang is the leader, will he still be polite to us?"

"Alas! In fact, this person in the gold bureau is really good, no wonder he became the director of the bureau at such a young age. I wish he ......."

"Li Yan, you little girl won't be looking at the gold game, right?" A rich-looking woman teased.

"Sister Wang! What are you talking about? Don't say that the Golden Bureau won't take a fancy to me, even if it does, this girl doesn't dare to want this kind of man, how unsafe it is......" Li Yan said, lowering her voice, "Sister Wang! How long do you think the gold bureau can stay in the transportation bureau? ”

Sister Wang shook her head vaguely while swallowing melon seeds: "According to Director Ma's ability, Director Xiaojin will be unlucky if he doesn't leave after the New Year." ”

Although Li Yan said that she had been working in the Transportation Bureau for a short time, she still heard a lot of rumors in private, so she immediately sighed and said depressedly: "It's boring, it's so boring......"

At this time, Jin Yang had already come to Fuxing Lane in the south of the city. Xia Guohua's home is at No. 58 Fuxing Lane. This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Qingyuan, and the people who live here are all old Qingyuan people, and they used to be relatively honorable streets and alleys, but now, they have not changed for decades, and they are becoming more and more dilapidated, and the narrow alleys are lined up, like an outdated labyrinth.

Speaking of Xia Guohua and his friendship, it is deeper than Liu Zhuangxiao Bin. Although the four of them were classmates at the police academy at the same time, he and Xia Guohua were also high school classmates at the same time, at the same table, they went down to the river to bathe together, and they did a lot of things like stealing melons and fried fish.

During the same period, almost all of the students who graduated from the Police Academy had a formal establishment that year, but three of them were temporarily admitted as temporary workers due to some reasons and personal circumstances. A few years ago, Xia Guohua did no worse than Liu Zhuangxiao Bin in the Qingyuan Police Station, but later the state issued a document to dismiss all the recruited temporary workers, and Xia Guohua was completely laid off with tens of thousands of yuan in compensation.

The bottom line of fate is not only that, but the house leak happened to rain overnight. I found a wife and I am a master who loves money very much, and her surname is irritable and she leaves no room for speech. Several classmates went to their house and were all beared. Both his career and family were frustrated, so he completely disappeared from the circle of classmates, and according to Xiao Bin, he couldn't see his people for a few months.

Jin Yang found the rusty No. 58 door number from memory, looking at the closed door, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one responded, turned his head to look at the neighbors, all of them were a big iron lock on the door.

Jin Yang turned back in disappointment, and as he walked through an alley, he faintly heard the sound of mahjong. He didn't care. There are many such private card games in Qingyuan's old mansions and alleys, most of which are places for retired old men and old ladies to pass the time, and gambling money is just an embellishment. The owner of the house provides tables, benches, cards, tea, and contacts with card friends to make a little money.

However, the sound of mahjong reminded him, and he unwillingly took out his mobile phone again and tried to dial Xia Guohua's number.

rang for nearly a minute, still no one answered, he depressedly moved his phone, and before he could turn it off, he vaguely heard a faint ringtone.

Jin Yang's eyes immediately looked towards the card field, and his heart moved, and he continued to dial while walking towards the card field.

At the end of an alley, there is a low bungalow, a few open glass windows float out of the smoke, looking in through the window, the small room is crowded with five or six tables, most of the twenty or so people are gray-haired old people, but near the door of the table, there are four middle-aged men between twenty and thirty years old, smoking cigarettes, holding cards, playing a game of fighting landlords.

Jin Yang's eyes looked around, and finally stopped on a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Xia Guohua was half-cocked, holding an inferior cigarette in his mouth, holding cards in one hand and playing cards in the other, and he didn't care about the mobile phone pressed on a stack of change banknotes.

"I'll blow it up!" Xia Guohua spit out the cigarette butt in one gulp, and excitedly threw out a handful of cards in his hand, "Four turns, open money!" ”

Jin Yang stood silently behind him, his throat dry, his mind blank for a moment.

A man opposite Xia Guohua glanced at Jin Yang with slanted eyes, and was suddenly wary of this stranger with a stern expression, and raised his eyebrows: "Hey! Who are you? What for? ”

Jin Yang stood quietly and silently.

Xia Guohua turned around, the shuffling action stopped, shocked, and his face turned white in an instant.

Jin Yang...... There you are? He quickly got up, a few handfuls of whiskers at the corners of his lips, and raised a false smile. I heard that you are back, and you haven't been able to ......"

"Really?" Jin Yang responded lightly, "Let's go, let's find a place to talk." ”

"Let's talk?" Xia Guohua seemed reluctant to throw down the cards in his hand, and looked hesitant.

"Let's go!" Jin Yang shouted in a deep voice.

Xia Guohua was stunned, hurriedly grabbed the banknotes and mobile phone on the table, and walked out with a blushing face.

Jin Yang hurriedly followed, retracted his tone, and said softly: "I invite you to drink!" ”

Xia Guohua didn't reply: "I've eaten a lot, and I don't want to drink now, so let's change it." ”

"But I think I want to drink with you right now."

"I'm not fucking hungry, what to drink!" Xia Guohua looked impatient, eager to pull his hair. Immediately, he seemed to realize that his tone was too heavy, and said forbearantly: "Jin Yang, let's make another appointment ......."

"Is it because I'm influencing your hand or are you really a piece of shit?" Jin Yang interrupted him. grabbed his shoulders and shouted: "Look at me, Xia Guohua, I am your hair child, your high school classmate, we went to the same police academy, we are best friends...... To be honest, I'm not sad to see you like this, I'm just sad for you......"

Xia Guohua helplessly wanted to explain. His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't speak.

"Come with me." Jin Yang couldn't help but say, he grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the alley.

Out of Fuxing Lane, Jin Yang called a taxi, half-pushed and half-dragged him into the car, "Go to the Moulin Rouge Bar." ”

Ten minutes later, two old friends from many years ago were sitting in booths in the west corner of the bar, and the table was full of beers.

Xia Guohua had no way out, and when he saw the wine, he no longer concealed himself, grabbed a bottle of wine, raised it to his mouth and bit it open with his teeth. Over the years, he himself was ashamed to contact his old friends, not to mention the poverty, and the one in the family never let him calm down. Especially in the past few days, there was a problem with the work of the school security guard, he was ordered to suspend his job for inspection, and his heart was in a mess, and he could only anesthetize himself by playing cards and drinking.

A bottle of Heineken bottomed out quickly.

"You drink enough." Jin Yang quietly handed over another bottle.

Xia Guohua's mask was torn off, he looked like a 'dead pig is not afraid of boiling water', smiled, grabbed the wine bottle, and shook it a few times, "You do have the ability, Lord Director!" That's why you have the right to laugh at me. ”

Jin Yang took a deep breath and bowed his head silently.

After a long time, he raised his head and said quietly: "Guohua, the last time we met in Qingyuan, do you remember what I said to you?" ”

"Remember, how don't you remember, many people have said similar things to me." Xia Guohua took another big sip of wine, his face full of mocking grief.

Jin Yang was afraid of meeting his gaze and turned his head. In silence, he remembered a famous saying: "The power of matter can only be destroyed by the power of matter". Applying this sentence to Xia Guohua, who was devastated by life, is: "The dignity lost because of material things can only be restored by material." ”

"I've always had your affairs in mind, and it's only now that I've found you a suitable thing for you......"

"I don't even know what I'm suitable for?" Xia Guohua laughed at himself indifferently. Grab the third bottle of beer.

"You are suitable for police work...... Jin Yang's words were not finished, Xia Guohua laughed, "clicked" and bit open the lid of the beer, "Poof!" Spit out the lid of the wine, "Is the old classmate capable of letting me go back to work in the Public Security Bureau?" ”

"Sorry! I really don't have that ability. Jin Yang was silent for a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said patiently: "It's a commercial investigation company." ”

Xia Guohua began to digest his words.

Jin Yang continued, "Although the business investigation part is not your strong point, you can take on some personal matters. To tell you the truth, I am ready to take a stake in this company, you are the shareholder agent, and enjoy the shareholder dividends and salary. ”

Xia Guohua choked on a sip of wine, coughed violently a few times, and then didn't know whether it was the beer that choked his eyes red or the blood after drinking, stared at Jin Yang, suddenly lowered his head, and shook again and again, "I'm a waste, not worth your ...... lifting"

"You say it again?" Jin Yang raised his voice suddenly, and his eyes burst out with anger. "Xia Guohua, I'm not fucking lifting you up, I'm not helping you, but I need your help. Do you understand? I invested money in it, and I can't manage and supervise it, so I need a trusted friend to help me keep an eye on it. You fucking straight up, in a word, to go or not? ”

Xia Guohua is actually a smart person, he knows that this is an old friend who gives him face, and he is afraid that he will be embarrassed to be naked, so he will wear a set of vain clothes. He replied to Jin Yang with a wry smile and said in a low voice, "I'll go." ”

Jin Yang snapped open the beer, raised the bottle in his hand, and slammed it against Xia Guohua's bottle, "Dude! Drink! ”

The two old friends raised their wine bottles together and groaned to the bottom.

Putting down the bottle, the two let out a long moan at the same time, and then the four hands clasped tightly.

"I believe in you, you are my good buddy of Jin Yang, good brother, my brother is not a fucking bastard!" Jin Yang was a little excited, "Go back and immediately rest the female worm, let's find a virtuous and gentle one in the future, even if it is not very beautiful, but it will never roar and insult because of a man's downfall." What do you need most? It's the comfort of relatives and friends, it's the encouragement of my wife, it's the fucking smile, it's the love ......"

A few lines of hot tears silently flowed down Xia Guohua's face, and suddenly, he reflexively hugged the chair, his body twitching violently.

Jin Yang felt his great grief, looked at him, suppressed his emotions and said: "In the past few days, you have finished the things that should be closed at home, and you should go to Wujiang in a few days......"

Xia Guohua suddenly raised his head and said with tears on his face: "I swore that if I succeed, it will be the day I divorce her." ”

Jin Yang gave a thumbs up and praised, "Damn! Finally a little bit of Xia Guohua's demeanor! ”
