After listening to the narration, the dance music also stopped, and Shen Chen returned to the table with Lu Shuang and sat down.

There was one more champagne bottle on the table, and Roden, who had been fooled by the White Russian dancer, had already regarded money as dung under the influence of alcohol.

Luo Deng also returned to his seat with the White Russian dancer, approached Shen Chen, spewed out of his mouth, and said with a smirk: "Shen, congratulations in advance, because of your bravery and enthusiasm at work, you may be promoted again." ”

"Really?" Shen Chen was not particularly surprised, and said with a smile: "What about you, you are about to be promoted, right?" ”

“NO，NO！” Roden shook his head again and again and began to complain.

In Roden's assessment report, it was written that it was "not very reliable, but it was a good patrol under supervision."

The top brass of the patrol house apparently thought that recruiting veterans was a good option, as these people seemed to be more disciplined.

But the truth is that the reason why these people left the army and chose to patrol was because they wanted to change to a relaxed and flexible job as citizens. As a result, there will always be a variety of punishment records for them in the patrol room documents.

But Roden apparently didn't care much about that, as long as he could keep his job, he could go to drinks, he could go to the dance hall and dance with the White Russian woman in his arms.

Of course, the complaints are for sure, and there are no less.

"In the Armed Reserve, I was criticized just for not returning to the dormitory at one o'clock in the night, what's the big deal? Is it necessary to manage a responsible adult man as if he were a student in a school? ”

"Why are married patrols not subject to such restrictions, if it is also a violation of discipline to enjoy life after work, they are the ones who violate discipline the most."

"Russian arrests really don't violate discipline, because they don't have a motherland to rely on, and this job is the guarantee of their lives, so in order to keep their jobs, they can do anything."

"As a result, they are instead regarded as people who are loyal to their duties and work hard, while a person who is much more capable of working, who has received a medal, and who has no accidents in the actual work, is accused of being irresponsible."

Roden's words could not be contained at first, and it seemed that he had been depressed for a long time about the injustice he had received.

Shen Chen kept nodding in agreement, and suggested teasingly: "I think you should get married, so it will be much better." ”

“NO，NO！” Luo Deng shook his head vigorously, "It's not time yet, you know, marriage and family are shackles and prisons." My freedom, I don't want to lose it yet. ”

Haha, Shen Chen laughed, called the waiter, took out the money to order a bottle of champagne, and raised his glass: "For your freedom, and for my possible promotion, a toast." ”

After dancing again, Shen Chen excused himself and asked Lu Shuang inquiringly.

Because Lu Shuang came to the dance hall for the first day, he was still a cameo, unlike a professional dancer in the dance hall, who had to sit on the stage and go out with the guests.

Therefore, she hesitated for a moment, but still followed Shen Chen out of the dance hall.

The night was cold, and Shen Chen saw that the girl shrank slightly, so he took off his windbreaker and put it on her.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." After Lu Shuang thanked him, he looked around a little blankly.

Shen Chen stretched out his hand to call a taxi, pulled the car door, and said to Lu Shuang: "Let's go, I'll send you home first." ”

Taxis in Shanghai were very expensive in the early days, costing 4.5 yuan per hour if the fare was based on the hour. In addition to the fare, customers are also required to tip the driver.

Later, with the popularity of taxis, various car companies lowered their prices to attract customers, and the price gradually decreased.

With the fall in prices, taxis have gradually entered the homes of ordinary people.

Shanghainese people like foreign style, and they can enjoy the dignity of a special car without spending a few dollars.

As a result, not only the wedding celebration, the ushering in the car, but also the trivial things such as going to the restaurant and watching the movie, you can also see the figure of the taxi.

Somehow, Lu Shuang obediently got into the car.

The two sat in the back seat of the car, and the neon lights of the street lamps and shops reflected the flickering on their faces.

Shen Chen tilted his head slightly, looking at the goose egg face that was still a little childish, with black and shiny green silk and a pair of smart black eyes.

With a secret sigh in his heart, Shen Chen took out his wallet, counted out a few banknotes, stuffed them into the girl's hand, and said lightly: "It's best not to go to the dance hall in the future." ”

"Sir—" The girl cried out in amazement, glancing at the money in her hand.

Shen Chen raised his hand to stop Lu Shuang, leaned back as if he was very tired, and said in a deep voice: "Greet me when you get to the place, I've drunk a little too much." ”

Seeing that Shen Chen closed his eyes, Lu Shuang's lips opened a few times and did not speak again.

When the taxi arrived at the place, Shen Chen asked the driver to wait for a while, then got out of the car and walked. Sent Lu Shuang through a dirty alley, and only turned around and left until the door of the house.

……………

The so-called responsibility is what may not be done, but must be done.

Can you kill all the Japanese devils? Can you destroy all the traitors? Can all evil be eradicated?

Shen Chen knew that it would definitely not work.

Can even two hundred yuan help Lu Shuang? He wasn't sure.

But these things, he still has to do.

Just like the struggle of life, there may not be a successful result, but it is not a reason for you to lie down and give up.

The special patrol team still existed, and as an attempt to jointly handle cases and exchange information, several Zodiac thugs were arrested, so that most of the cases of the two concessions were solved.

Undoubtedly, this is a testament to the success of the joint model. Obviously, the top level of the Ministry of Industry thinks so.

This judgment certainly makes sense. Not only the Zodiac Society, but also the extremely vicious kidnappers and villains, it also requires the cooperation of both sides to give effective and rapid blows.

As a hero in the fight against the Zodiac Society, Shen Chen was promoted to a third-level agent.

Although the transition from patrol to detective does not necessarily have to be promoted to first-class patrol. It is possible to patrol at the third level and be promoted to an agent at once.

However, detectives are the main way to be promoted by patrolling, because the salary and working environment are much better.

Perhaps, from the perspective of the top management of the Ministry of Industry, a person who dares to patrol desperately, and is not even afraid of the fact that the backstage of the Zodiac Society is Japanese. It is indeed a very useful and worthy candidate to be promoted in order to better serve the concession.

For Shen Chen, he didn't care what the upper echelons meant.

Just like the information that someone sent him to the Zodiac last time, it was obvious that he was being used as a gunman. But he was willing, in line with the goal he wanted to achieve, and he didn't mind if he was being used.

Moreover, being exploited does not sound pleasant. But on the other hand, wouldn't it be even more tragic if you didn't even have the value to use it?

Of course, to promote means to reuse, and to take on more and more important tasks.

Just a few days after he was promoted to agent, Shen Chen was called to Everett's office.
