Chapter 5 Security Cooperation Police

  Just as Zhang Tong was about to foam at the mouth, Tian Miao Miao, who had been confined at home and had her phone confiscated, felt like she had forgotten something, until she suddenly remembered Zhang Tong.

  As soon as she saw the calendar, Tian Miao was anxious. So many days had passed and she hadn't received any news from Zhang Tong. Who knows how many straw men he had made to "acupuncturize" himself day and night? No wonder her butt had been aching lately. So during lunch with her family, Tian Miao hastily told her parents everything that was on her mind.

  Miao Miao's dad thought for a moment and said that this matter should be decided by her mom, so he didn't say anything more. At first, Miao Miao's mom was not willing to do it. Although her younger brother was in charge of the neighborhood security team and recruiting a auxiliary police officer would just take one word, but since Zhang Tong's family had to pay money for this, things became complicated. Not to mention that the two children grew up together from childhood, and Zhang Tong was also very honest and well-behaved, always showing good manners when they met. If she were arranged to become an auxiliary police officer and still charged her family so much money, how would Zhang Tong's family think about it?

  Miao Miao's mother put down her chopsticks, pointed to Miao Miao's forehead and said: "What about you? What do you think? I'm telling you, the comprehensive market is not allowed for you, I'd rather support you!"

  Tian Miao immediately knew what her mother meant and simply slapped her chopsticks on the table:

  "Zhang Tong is leaving, I'm leaving too, are you satisfied now?"

  "Are you serious this time?"

  "Calculate!"

  10 days later, Tian Miao and Zhang Tong wore brand new police uniforms and became auxiliary police officers at the Happiness Road Police Station in Dayuan City. Tian Miao suddenly made a 180-degree turn and agreed to go to work at the police station, which made her uncle very happy. However, when he mentioned this matter that day, his sister also brought up another girl, saying that she was close friends with his niece since childhood. Tian Miao's uncle said it was easy to handle, one was safe, two were also fine. But his sister's words caused the director to hesitate:

  "I heard that Zhang Tong's family had prepared 12,000 yuan to help her get a job through connections, but unfortunately it didn't work out. Tong Yaotou and our Miao Miao said to give all this money to you, think of a way to make some moves, equivalent to sending someone from the police station on an errand. But, Old Fourth (Miao Miao's family has four siblings, only one boy),

  "I'm thinking, relying on the two girls' relationship, if we really took so much money and just made them auxiliary police officers, wouldn't that be a bit too much? Who knows what they'll think about it afterwards? I think it's good for the two girls to go to your place together to find a job, they can take care of each other, and with Zhang Tong there, Miao Miao won't dare not work hard. Sister won't interfere with your decision, you make the call yourself."

  "Alright, sis, don't worry about this anymore. What's the big deal with being a auxiliary police officer? You don't understand how things work around here. Once a female comrade enters the station as an auxiliary police officer, it's considered internal work and is contract-based, just without a formal position. A police station is not an easy place to get into, you know? It's not like anyone can just come in and wear a police uniform for fun. But if you're willing to work hard and learn diligently, maybe one day the station will recommend you to take the civil service exam and become a real people's police officer. That's a legitimate career path, so don't worry about taking this money. You and your husband can keep it, you two aren't easy either. I'll take care of Miao Miao's things!"

  So, Director Liu accepted the gift from Zhang Tong's family in a grand manner. Then, he took the two girls together to the police station, and everything went according to normal procedure. As expected, Zhang Tong's family was overjoyed. Originally, they just wanted the two girls to have a good relationship and be able to help pass on a message, which would have been enough to show their gratitude; they thought that as long as they could get into the police station, it would be enough. Who would have thought that Tian Miao's family was really sincere, and before they had even prepared any gifts, the matter was already settled.

  Security guards are not strictly speaking police officers, but rather temporary patrol and investigation personnel hired by various police stations due to insufficient police force.

  They are all contract workers, with the same nature as temporary workers in urban management teams and traffic police teams. They usually do dirty work that gets them into trouble.

  The salary for this job is not high, at the provincial minimum wage level: 1,200 yuan per month, and it's often delayed. The only benefit is being close to the water tower, as Liu said, without a police ID or badge, but still wearing a police uniform to pretend to be a tiger, if you're lucky and work hard for a few years, when the opportunity arises, take the civil service exam, get a formal position, become a real police officer, that's it, shake off the old self and become a rice bowl eater.

  The indoor personnel temporarily cannot vacate a position, so Director Liu had to temporarily place his niece's name in the Public Security Joint Defense Team, which is also intended to give the two girls an opportunity to familiarize themselves with society and gain practical experience.

  Nowadays in this society, the two jobs that test one's abilities are urban management and auxiliary police. If you can do these two jobs well, you can be successful in any other profession.

  Liu didn't make this decision lightly, it was after he had a detailed understanding of his niece's work experience at the Happiness Road Comprehensive Market. He thought that with Tian Miao Miao's current work experience, she is completely capable of handling this job. The two girls won't have too many people making things difficult for them.

  It wasn't until the two girls officially started working that they realized this job was not something ordinary people could do; as auxiliary police, they had to deal with their superiors and regular police officers above them, while below them, they had to pretend to be fierce and go out to intimidate ordinary citizens. Every now and then, they would join forces with urban management and traffic police to crack down on small vendors, chasing after them in the streets, a common occurrence.

  It's not that difficult, Dawan City is a provincial capital city with a large population. However, Huofu Road is not a particularly prosperous place, so there aren't usually any big cases, but as the person on duty in this jurisdiction, things are always happening; drunk people, fights, couples arguing, misbehaving students causing trouble, lost electric bicycles and motorcycles, smashed storefronts and stalls, etc., all just trivial matters.

  Even families with relatively good economic conditions, when their cats and dogs are lost, come to the police station to report the case.

  Nothing is easy to do, and if you don't handle it well, you'll be criticized by others. Either the residents in your jurisdiction will mock you behind your back or the leaders in the department will scold you in front of everyone. It's really not a job for humans!

  The salary is not high, and the reputation is not good, resulting in a high turnover rate of auxiliary police officers, with a new batch of people being replaced every three to five months. After working for a week, Tian Miao was still doing well, after all, she was a real fighter who came out of the Happy Road, relying on her connections and the fact that there were more men than women in the auxiliary police team, she could show off her power and get away with many troubles at work. Zhang Tong, on the other hand, couldn't handle it, his face was thin-skinned, and he had no social experience, every day when he went to work, he felt guilty, being extremely careful not to get into any trouble and be fired, how embarrassing would that be?
