Chapter 9: Two Women Meet

  "I deeply recognize my own shortcomings and request that leaders and colleagues point out my mistakes, wow ~ haha ha ~"

  Just as I was writing my self-criticism with my head down, Lin Ruoyin appeared behind me like a ghost and burst out laughing.

  As I turned around, Zhao Yong, Luo Sansi and Jiang Yu all appeared, but Cheng Long was the only one missing.

  "Director Luo, come and correct me quickly, how should I write this?" I finally got the reinforcements I was waiting for, this agonizing process almost made me cry.

  Luo Sansi walked over and took a look, and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What kind of self-criticism is this? If Deputy Director Wang saw it, he would definitely reject the evaluation - not profound enough!"

  Zhao Yong sighed with a bitter smile: "You little scamp, you've caused more trouble than I have. Well, let's just say it all evens out and we won't give each other any awards."

  "No way, Chuan Jie has made great contributions and the people of Lujiang City all admire him." Jiang Yi was the best, at least there was someone who stood up for me.

  "What a joke!" Lin Ruoyin burst out laughing: "This idiot almost broke the sky, my grandfather's style is quite conservative, you've made a great achievement, but this case can't be broken and can't make a big mistake, especially at this critical moment, he must have been sweating bullets~"

  "It's just writing a self-criticism." I furrowed my brow and asked: "Huh? Why haven't we seen Cheng Long?"

  Luo Sansi took over the inspection: "Cheng Long is a good brother, he went to help you settle that matter on the other side. As for this inspection, I, as the political commissar, will help you settle it."

  "Hey!" Zhao Yong asked loudly with a tense face: "Old Luo, what gossip have you heard from your leadership sources? What else did Jian say besides writing a self-criticism? Is he leaving our fourth group to become the leader?"

  "Not the group leader, but the team leader." It seems they didn't know yet, so I quickly explained: "I'm still a member of Group 4, and also serve as the special task force leader. Brother Yong, I really don't want to leave Group 4. When going out to handle cases, I deeply feel that my experience is still too shallow."

  "Captain! Captain!" Lin Ruoyin and the others were stunned, listening to my account. The crowd suddenly collapsed: "Fourth Master, you are not doing a good job as a small official, but you are doing a great job as a big official, well done!"

  "What's going on?" I'm also quite confused, what's the situation?

  With Lao Luo's help, I passed the test of Wang Ye Zhong, deputy director, and went to the special task force to take a look. My god!

  Qingyi 'color' advanced police equipment, eighty people from all over the country, absolutely retired soldiers king, all are combat 'fine' elite, want to tame these wild men, except for the extraordinary talent of Cheng Long, if it were me, I really couldn't control them, they're all dragons!

  "Great team leader ~ Great team leader ~ Great team leader ~" Eighty soldiers all had super loud voices, speaking in a loud tone, it seems that Cheng Long has educated them quite well.

  "Alright brothers, let me introduce myself. My name is Ren Chuanjie and I'm the new leader of the special task force. If you have anything to discuss, feel free to find me, we're all brothers who can talk openly. Normally, training and patrol duties will be arranged by Cheng Long and the eight team leaders. As for mobilization and combat missions, most of them will be handled by Director Lin and Director Wang. I hope everyone does their job well. Tonight after work, let's gather at the Juntian Hotel, I'll treat you all to a drink."

  "Good good good good~~~" This is really intimidating, like a sudden clap of thunder on a clear day.

  At night, I invited them to dinner, and these guys can really drink. Eight tables of bright dishes, we brought our own wine, and they actually drank away my salary for a month. This relationship has been greatly improved, and the rest is up to Cheng Long, he himself is also willing to lead a group of brothers.

  Hmmm... I heard that my salary has gone up again. The team leader's salary is being distributed, but I don't know how much it is, that's Zhang Mian's business now.

  Spent a good night with the wife, went through the motions at work the next day. Went to see the police dogs, how are those two Dobermans doing? You guys are my cash cows!

  Ha ~ Dashan and Xiaoye are running wild everywhere, under the care of professionals, their fur is shiny and bright, still maintaining their wild nature.

  Just as I was having a blast with the dogs, Lujiao City Public Security Bureau's Hu Er San called: "Xiao Si Ye, Liu Yu Qing has been released. As expected, she didn't have any money on her. Now she's selling used luggage on the street with two large suitcases."

  "Alright, you buy a suitcase that's worth the train fare and then have the city management officers chase her away." My smile was utterly wicked.

  "Understood, everything will be done according to Young Master Si's wishes." Hu Er San is quite good at handling people.

  "Hmm, you're okay? Did they take care of you over there?" I showed some concern.

  "It's all thanks to Young Master Si's promotion. When Little Hu comes to visit you during the New Year, he will definitely thank Young Master Si greatly."

  "No need for that, we're all brothers and don't play those games, if you have any difficulties just give me a call."

  "Yes, yes, Young Master Si is indeed a man of noble character, I, Hu Er San, will remember this kindness..."

  I hung up the phone and handed two boxes of good cigarettes to the police dog handler, asking him to help take care of the two dogs. No matter how high one's reputation or position is, these interpersonal relationships still need to be taken care of.

  Afterwards, we passed the afternoon without incident, turned on our mobile phones, and remained on call at all times. We were then considered to be off work.

  It just so happened to be Wednesday afternoon, I made an appointment with Zhang Meng to watch a movie.

  At the school gate, picking up the girl, Zhang Meng scolded: "You usually don't drive this golden tank, it's too eye-catching, and your classmates will think I'm dating a rich guy!"

  I smiled and said: "I think so too. We have 2 million at home, let's buy a car, just an ordinary one."

  "What else can I buy? My Jetta is yours to drive." Zhang Mian was good at pinching pennies and knew how to live a good life.

  "I'm not used to manual transmission cars, Lin Ruoyin's old Jetta is always stalling, let's get an automatic one instead, around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, something ordinary would be fine, what do you think?"

  "Hmm, that can't be too expensive, right? Let's just buy a house first, it's not like we can stay in the police department's dorm forever." Zhang Meng said.

  "It's a good idea. Coincidentally, I have many subordinates who don't have a place to live recently, and there are not enough apartments, so I'll distribute them among them. By the way, when buying a house, look for Jiang Yi, it's particularly cheap through her."

  "It's all good, just hope the property security can be a bit stricter."

  Upon hearing this, I sneered coldly: "Li Xue Ru must have found you, don't worry Xiao Meng, in two days there will be a sister to accompany you, guaranteed not to let you suffer again."

  "Accompany me?" Zhang Meng was startled and asked: "Who's accompanying me? Is it Bai Yang?"

  "Of course it won't be Xiao Baiyang, she's not allergic to ultraviolet light, is she... " I couldn't finish my sentence, and Zhang Mian seemed like he was about to cry from being wronged.

  I hastily stopped the car, holding her small face and asked: "What's wrong with you? Was that woman bullying you? Don't worry, I'll find a very fierce sister for you, she won't dare to bully you again."

  This time, Zhang Meng turned out to be the one with tears in her eyes: "She bullied me, it's nothing, but I miss Xiaobai, without me, she must be very lonely in Xiao Tuzi's 'cave', day and night, how can she get by herself?"

  "Otherwise, let's go see the White Ocean during the holidays, okay?" I can only think of this, after all, my career and Zhang Mian's studies are here, can't move.

  "Chang Meng shook her little head: "Chuan Jie, can we buy a small villa? One with an underground space. I want to occasionally invite Bai Yang over to stay. Of course, if it's too expensive, we can consider one that's a bit further away from the city center. I've asked around and it seems like it would cost over 10 million."

  "Oh, so this is why we're not short of money, but you're always frugal with your spending?" Now I understand.

  Zhang Meng chose to default, in her soft heart, she couldn't bear Bai Yang's loneliness.

  "This matter is a bit bigger, I'll discuss it with Jiang Wu tomorrow, don't worry for now, I'll take care of everything, you just need to be happy and obedient." I carefully protected the 'girl's' inner heart, for an orphan, she needs more care.

  "Okay... I'll behave."

  This afternoon, we held hands and watched a movie, went to the amusement park to play games, and then went to the restaurant for dinner. The day was quite beautiful, and it was a very comfortable compensation for the physical and mental fatigue of solving cases continuously. In the evening, I didn't go home, found a love hotel and had a thrilling release.

  The next day, I sent Zhang Meng to school and met Jiang Yi for lunch during work hours. I wanted to discuss with her about buying a house and see if there were any internal channels.

  Just as we two arrived at the restaurant and sat down, ready to order, flashes of light appeared frequently.

  Someone is secretly taking pictures again!

  Chiang Yu's face suddenly changed: "Who is that? It seems like they're taking our picture!"

  I glanced over and it was indeed Liang Xue Ru, dressed up like a flower, who I hadn't seen in almost a year. I didn't expect to run into her under such circumstances.

  "Hmph, boring. We're open and honest, not afraid of her taking pictures." I coolly looked at the menu, after all, we have to arrange a meal.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, according to Liang Xue's usual habit of being unreserved, she took a sneak shot and walked over with a big smile.

  "Little Fourth Master, how have you been lately?"

  I fell silent for a moment, then replied in a calm tone: "Whatever it is, let's talk about it after work. I have something to discuss with my colleagues over lunch."

  "Are you a colleague? Then we should get to know each other better." Liang Xue Ru directly sat down beside Jiang Yi, and after comparing, she found that the other party was more beautiful than her, with a flash of shyness in her eyes.

  It seems she's not leaving after all. I tossed the menu aside and said, "Jiang Yi, I'm really sorry today. Let me treat you another day."

  "She's your ex-girlfriend, right? No big deal, the three of us can eat together." The usually gentle and soft-hearted Jiang Yi surprisingly remained calm and composed, her expression unchanged.

  "Alright, Chuan Jie, order some of my favorite dishes." Liang Xue Ru smiled warmly, but her eyes hid a sinister intent.

  When I met Liang Xueru, I didn't pay attention to it, at most it was just a quarrel, but when I saw Jiang Yi like this, for some reason, my heart thumped twice, and I became somewhat restless.

  After ordering food, the three of us fell silent for a moment.

  Someone was there to speak up, and Liang Xue Ru finally spoke first: "Chuan Jie, let's separate from that orphan, and make amends with each other."

  "As for what she said, I'm too lazy to bother with her."

  Liang Xue Ru said, "Don't blame me for breaking up with you back then. You know my sister is like that, she's been with her boyfriend, a small-time hoodlum, for many years, and now they're both approaching thirty. That little hoodlum still can't afford to buy a house or get married. No matter how deep their love is, they can only break up. I saw my sister marry a man in his forties, and she's always being scolded and bullied. It was with great reluctance that I broke up with you. In fact, I still loved you deeply in my heart, and during the year we were apart, I didn't date any other guys."

  Seeing me still not speaking, Liang Xue Ru became somewhat frantic: "Are my demands too excessive? I just hope you have the ability to support a family, not seeking wealth and nobility, as long as we can get by, that's all."

  "Sorry." Jiang Yi smiled and said, "As a good friend of Chuan Jie, I want to say that you should at least believe he has this ability. What men need is for you to understand them, to give them strength with your gentleness, isn't it?"

  "Shut up!" Liang Xue Ru suddenly raised her voice, almost quarreling: "My business with him doesn't need outsiders to interfere. Chuan Jie, you are my only man. You're now with that orphan, I don't blame you, it's my own fault for being blind. Now I demand, we..."

  "I love her!" At that moment, I spoke up: "It has nothing to do with anything, I just simply like her, that's all."

  Liang Xueru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became angry: "You are my man, I don't allow you to be with that orphan, absolutely not allowed!"

  Bang! Liang Xueru slammed down a plate of dishes and stormed off in anger.

  "Alas..." The two of them sighed. Jiang Yi smiled wryly and said, "Fortunately, it was she who suggested breaking up, otherwise you would have been miserable for the rest of your life."

  I frowned and directly called Zhang Ning, asking her to leave school immediately and go play computer at the hotel from last night. Sigh... why hasn't that fierce little secretary with big breasts arrived yet?

  "All set, all dishes are served. Sorry for making you laugh today, come on, let's use orange juice as a substitute for wine and have a toast."

  "Okay." Jiang Yi revealed a happy smile again: "Chuan Jie, have you ever heard of a saying? The one you love, loves you, will ultimately lose to the one who is good to you."

  "Is there? Hmm...seems to make some sense..."
