Jinghai City,
Not much has been happening at the bureau after the recent commendation meeting.
Zhao Jianguo came to the municipal bureau this day to find Director Song, preparing to discuss some matters.
"Director Song, the regularization quota for our station that we talked about last time, is it still valid? The entire auxiliary police force of Jinghai is watching. If we don’t release any auxiliary police regularization this time, it might negatively impact future auxiliary police development."
When Li Xiang managed to get regularized, it acted as an encouragement for all the auxiliary police, showing them a future. If we don’t establish this example, it will be harder to manage the auxiliary police force later on.
Furthermore, having an auxiliary police regularized at their police station is an honor for Zhao as well, since it was under his leadership.
"How can Li Xiang get regularized after what happened?"
Song Jun vaguely learned from Xu Yuanjie’s hints that Li Xiang might have gotten involved with the Drug Enforcement Bureau’s Yan Xiong again, but he wasn’t sure of the specifics.
But one thing is certain, Li Xiang’s regularization opportunity should lie in Jinling, so the regularization quota in his hand could be saved.
Now that Zhao Jianguo came to find him, he could only play dumb with the other party.
Zhao Jianguo lamented, "It’s a pity about Li Xiang, but I’ve already raised his benefits, sort of as compensation for him."
"If you knew, why are you still here to ask for him?"
"Not asking for him, there’s another auxiliary police officer going to Jinling, right? He got injured in action this time, resulting in a severe concussion from being hit by the suspect. Isn’t the provincial department planning to award him a second-class merit? How about giving him this quota?"
"Oh, Old Zhao, you’re really keeping everything within the Hongqiao Police Station, huh? In any case, this auxiliary police regularization quota is going to the Hongqiao Police Station, right?"
Song Jun naturally saw through Zhao Jianguo’s intentions, teasing him with a laugh.
"Hehe, Director Song, honestly speaking, if our Hongqiao Police Station can’t get this regularization quota for the auxiliary police, which station can?"
When Zhao Jianguo said this, he was full of confidence. Li Xiang couldn’t get it due to objective reasons, but Sun Zhidong didn’t have any.
Moreover, in that operation, he was the only one injured and could be portrayed as a hero bravely fighting against criminals.
An injured auxiliary police officer is also a good point.
There was once a case in a neighboring province where an auxiliary police officer, during a duty confrontation, faced a suspect brandishing a knife. Despite the dangerous situation, the auxiliary police officer bravely stepped forward to seize the knife, only to be severely wounded in the chest by the suspect. Despite the grave injury, he continued to fight courageously until reinforcements arrived. Subsequently, at the hospital, doctors discovered a 20-centimeter incision in his chest area, leading to open chest trauma.
Because of that brave law enforcement action, the auxiliary police officer was awarded a first-class merit.
In terms of contributions, it wasn’t considered substantial, but awarding him a first-class merit was both a commendation and a form of compensation, and the public security agency was willing to set him up as an example.
"Currently, the overall morale of the auxiliary police force is low. Many in the force feel hopeless, thinking this job does not offer a good salary or future, leading some to resign after just a year or two. By establishing this regularization as an example, it would undoubtedly inspire the morale of the auxiliary police force, and more auxiliary police officers are bound to step up like Li Xiang and Sun Zhidong, willing to contribute to maintaining social stability."
After hearing Zhao Jianguo’s argument, Song Jun nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. Our Jinghai indeed needs to create some exemplary figures. Alright, we’ll give this quota to Sun Zhidong."
Zhao Jianguo was overjoyed upon hearing this. Although Sun Zhidong was still slightly short of regularization, he had his merits, which is his bravery while injured. Regardless of how he was heroic, it must be portrayed as bravery.
In conclusion, the auxiliary police regularization opportunity ended up falling within their Hongqiao Police Station’s domain, fulfilling what Zhao Jianguo came for today.
"Shall I proceed with this then?"
"Hmm, coincidentally, I have the regularization application form here with me, which was originally prepared for Li Xiang." Director Song handed the application form on the desk to Zhao Jianguo, who then took it back to the police station.
When Zhao Jianguo returned to the station, he saw Sun Zhidong idly playing mobile games. Suddenly, he felt like tearing the regularization application form.
This old hand, who comes from a privileged background, doesn’t really care about the auxiliary police job. The monthly salary is probably only enough for his car’s fuel. This time, due to Li Xiang’s fortune, he even managed to snatch a second-class merit.
If it weren’t to keep this quota at the Hongqiao Police Station, Zhao Jianguo would be reluctant.
This guy, he’s really got dumb luck.
"Sun Zhidong?"
"Hey, present."
When Sun Zhidong heard someone calling him, especially since the voice sounded like the director, he quickly stuffed his phone into his pocket and stood up answering: Present.
"Come to my office for a moment."
"Yes."
Feeling a little anxious, Sun Zhidong followed Zhao Jianguo into the office, not knowing how he would be scolded next. Although he’s developed thicker skin over the years, it’s still preferable not to be scolded if possible.
Upon entering the office, Sun Zhidong promptly admitted his mistake: "Director Zhao, I was wrong."
"We’ll talk about that later; first, fill this form out."
"Form?" Sun Zhidong was curious, thinking there’s something more important than criticizing him?
Upon receiving the form from Zhao Jianguo and taking a quick glance, Sun Zhidong’s mouth dropped wide open: "Is this? The legendary auxiliary police regularization application?"
"That’s right, I applied for you today at the municipal bureau, hurry and fill it out."
"Director Zhao, you’re too good to me. I love you to death."
Holding the form, Sun Zhidong rushed to give Director Zhao a hug, who promptly shoved him away: "Stand properly, if you’re not serious, I’ll revoke your qualification."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhidong immediately adjusted his attitude: "Director Zhao, I’ll make sure to behave."
However, he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face. This was the first case of an auxiliary police regularization in Jinghai City. Initially, this opportunity belonged to Li Xiang, but now it felt like a windfall, one that landed right on his head, making him ecstatic.
"Once you fill out this form, you are the role model for the entire auxiliary police force of Jinghai City. Your every action and word sets an example for them, and behavior such as playing games during work hours is absolutely forbidden."
"Huh? Being the role model for the entire auxiliary police of Jinghai City? I can’t do that. Maybe Li Xiang should..."
