In a quiet courtyard in the family courtyard of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Zhou Qiang was lying on the sofa with a haggard face, and he didn't know that the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out.

Since getting on the boat of the young mayor, Zhou Qiang has been working hard for a period of time, and he knows that if he wants to be truly valued by the young mayor, he must make some achievements.

On the one hand, he was thrilled by the young mayor's sharpness, and on the other hand, he was naturally a little annoyed by the very eye-catching position of the secretary of the political and legal committee.

Although he understood that the pattern at that time was very unfavorable to his position, Zhou Qiang still felt very sorry for missing such a very good opportunity.

After all, he is a deputy department-level official, and after so many years in the officialdom, Zhou Qiang also knows very well that without the thunderous blow of the young mayor, Liu Fei would not have been able to be pulled off the throne of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee so easily.

In other words, if he hadn't decisively chosen to join the young mayor at the first time, not to mention the exciting opportunity to take the position later, I am afraid that Zhou Qiang himself would have been ousted by the young mayor at the first time and completely lost everything he has now.

Handing over a cup of steaming tea in front of him, Zhou Qiang didn't need to look up to know that this was the considerate and thoughtful service of the good wife in the family.

"Why are you so preoccupied when you come back today?"

Zhou Qiang sat up and snuffed out the cigarette butt, picked up the cigarette from the coffee table and lit it, and exhaled a long smoke and said: "It's nothing, it's not a matter of the unit, and some people are starting to be dishonest again!" ”

"If you want me to say that you are too boring to be the deputy mayor, it is better to be the director of your public security bureau honestly!" Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law, Song Juan, works in the Provincial People's Hospital, and she is not very interested in political affairs.

"The problem now is that if there is no deputy mayor to give me a top, the position of director of the public security bureau will be even more difficult!" In his own home, Zhou Qiang was obviously not as cautious as outside, and sighed.

"Also, there is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee above, and the people below will naturally have other thoughts."

Song Juan sat on the other end of the sofa, she had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run, she had seen a lot of things above, and she knew more or less about them.

Lowering her voice, Song Juan said softly: "It is said that you are Mayor Chen's cronies, so do you have a letter about where you will go next, Lao Zhou?" ”

Deeply exhaling a thick smoke, Zhou Qiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qi Hong will definitely not move in the short term when he sits in the position of secretary of the political and legal committee, where can I, an old man in the political and legal system, go except to sit in that position?" ”

Song Juan was holding the teacup in her hand and groaned, and only after a long time did she stare at her man with bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "Old Zhou, your current situation is the most testing time, the more this kind of stage of suffering, the more you have to keep your head clear!" ”

Snuffing out the cigarette butt in his hand with a smile, Zhou Qiang squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Are you worried that I want to go back to Guan Peng again?" How so? The most taboo thing in officialdom is such a wall grass, if you really don't talk about how Guan Peng will ignore me, I'm afraid that with Mayor Chen's character who can't rub sand in his eyes, I will definitely not end up too well! ”

After following Chen Youwei for more than a year, Zhou Qiang has long been clear about the temperament of this young boss.

"What's more, I'm also the deputy mayor in charge of politics and law now, even if some people are ready to move and want to join others, but don't forget, as the director of the public security bureau who is directly in charge, they still stay where they are cool if they can't pass my level!" A flash of pride flashed in Zhou Qiang's eyes, as a senior veteran police officer in Spring City, he still has enough confidence in this way.

Song Juan was obviously relieved, she didn't want her man to be confused for a while and do something that made people sigh.

"I haven't eaten your pork stew vermicelli for some days, but I want to enjoy it tonight!"

Zhou Qiang lay down on his back very comfortably, and after venting the depression in his heart, his mood was obviously much more comfortable.

"Ring, ring, ring", the mobile phone on the sofa rang urgently.

"It's my ......" Zhou Qiang sat up abruptly and asked in disbelief: "You said Mayor Chen, you encountered a robbery in Xijiang County...... And guns?! ”

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiang quickly sorted out his clothes and put on leather shoes and walked briskly outside the door, while shouting to his daughter-in-law in the kitchen: "You can eat dinner by yourself, I have an urgent task here!" ”

Song Juan has long been accustomed to this situation, and after a quiet sigh, she was relieved, no matter what, she didn't want to see her man always look depressed and unhappy.

Along the way, the city criminal police team and the special police team were quickly notified in place, and Zhou Qiang drove the city's newly equipped red flag car as a special police car and drove anxiously to the direction of Xijiang County.

Along the way, the siren on the roof of the car was blaring, and the anxious Zhou Qiang couldn't wait to be able to grow wings and fly directly to the scene.

The situation on the phone was not too clear, and even this was enough to make Zhou Qiang extremely worried.

He knew very well that if something happened to the young mayor in such an accident, as the director of the public security bureau directly in charge of politics and law, it would be difficult to escape the blame or secondary, and the real loss of such a backer was the thing that made him feel the most frightened.

Zhou Qiang's reaction speed was still not slow, but after more than twenty minutes, a dark mountain shadow in the distance appeared in front of him.

Vehicles kept passing by, and judging from the expressions of the many drivers in the cab, they were still talking about what had just happened here.

Turning off the siren on the roof of the car, Zhou Qiang struggled to find the young mayor who might be in crisis.

Fortunately, things were far less terrifying than he imagined, and seeing Chen Youwei talking to a few familiar figures from a distance, Zhou Qiang finally put his mind at ease.

"Mayor, are you all right?"

Zhou Qiang jumped out of the car and trotted all the way to Chen Youwei, and a series of sirens not far behind him gradually approached, which also made him feel much calmer.

Several robbers who participated in the robbery were firmly tied up and squatted on the ground by Lei Ming and others, and the items stolen by the robbers were returned to everyone one by one. The only thing that made Chen Youwei feel troubled was that the previous gunfire was the robber shooting at a passenger who was trying to resist in order to demonstrate, and the blood was flowing from the part of the thigh that was hit, and the situation was urgent.

All this in front of him is terrifying, especially knowing that this is the result of the battle of the young mayor alone, the horror in Zhou Qiang's heart is incomparable.

"Lao Zhou is here, and he quickly arranged for people to send the wounded person to the nearest hospital, it is estimated that the artery has been injured, and now it is only temporarily controlled." Chen Youwei was not polite when he saw Zhou Qiang, and came up to command.

Zhou Qiang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged for people to carry the wounded to the police car with more space behind.

After a period of hectic chaos, the congested road was gradually restored under the command of the traffic police who arrived later.

Chen Youwei saw that the situation was basically under control, so he put his mind at ease, and when he was facing the robbers head-on just now, he was more worried that the robbers had other companions hiding in the shadows.

"Lao Pan, you have also worked hard all day, and tomorrow weekend is just the right time to take a good rest!"

Chen Youwei turned to Zhou Qiang and said, "Let's go, I'll take your car, there are some things we need to talk about!" ”

Zhou Qiang's heart trembled, at this time he didn't want to hear what he didn't want to hear.

The Hongqi police car drove smoothly on the road leading to the city, Chen Youwei praised the good performance of the Hongqi car, and ordered: "Find a tavern, it is distinctive, we haven't had two drinks together for a long time!" ”

Zhou Qiang's heart eased, and he chuckled: "Mayor, you are massive, drinking with you is afraid that each of us is both yearning and weak-hearted, and I dare not make an axe in front of you!" ”

Away from the busy traffic in the city, the Hongqi police car stopped at the mouth of a somewhat remote alley, Zhou Qiang smiled and introduced to Chen Youwei: "This store has been in Spring City for more than ten years, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to find it, that is, we are born and raised in the neighborhood to find it clearly." ”

"Lao Zhou used to live around here?"

Chen Youwei looked left and right, this block is located in Tienan District, but not far from Tiexi District, not far from the noisy tall buildings under intense construction, in stark contrast to the low and dilapidated residential areas here.

"My father is an old employee on the Spring City Railway, I used to live in the railway workers' family area not far in front, I grew up here, I can't be more familiar here!" Zhou Qiang led in front, and the business of a small courtyard with a modest appearance was booming, which made people look sideways.

Zhou Qiang was really right, his popularity here was indeed good, and the tavern that was already full quickly made room for a relatively quiet small courtyard for the two of them.

"This is the owner's backyard, and it is usually not easily put out for a banquet." Zhou Qiang briefly introduced the situation here to Chen Youwei, and asked with a smile: "What does the mayor eat?" ”

"Just the specialties here, I'm in for a treat today!" Chen Youwei waved his hand, took out a cigarette and handed it over, and said with a smile.

The speed of serving food in the tavern was very fast, and Chen Youwei and the two were still greeting each other while tasting the wine, and the steaming pot of stew was served.

"Ever thought about working in a different place?"

Zhou Qiang was still smiling and pouring wine for Chen Youwei, and suddenly words came from his ears that shocked him.

Gently taking the trembling wine bottle in Zhou Qiang's hand, Chen Youwei filled the wine glasses of both sides with an indifferent expression, and said in a deep voice: "Originally, Liu Fei's incident last time was an excellent opportunity, but you also know that the situation at that time was not good for your ascending time!" ”

Zhou Qiang's expression was wooden, and he hadn't woken up from the shock just now, staring intently at the amazing boss in front of him.

"From my point of view, Lao Zhou, your work in Spring City is very satisfying. Especially in the past few years, when hundreds of thousands of laid-off workers in Chuncheng have been laid-off, and even some underworld gangs are rampant, you can still achieve the basic stability of social security in Chuncheng, and you alone have contributed a lot! ”

Chen Youwei picked up the wine cup and gently clinked his glass, and took a sip and said: "There are achievements and a very good work style, we can't turn a blind eye to such a good comrade!" ”

Zhou Qiang finally woke up from his trance, his hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly, and the intense joy made it difficult for him to control himself.
