Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 631 Appearance
December 29th, Monday, 9 PM, Political Science College.

As the bell rang, the teacher, who had already finished explaining the lesson's content, immediately picked up his lesson plan and books, said "Class dismissed," and walked out of the classroom.

As soon as the teacher announced the end of get out of class, the once quiet classroom immediately became noisy.

Luo Min, who was sitting in the second row, did not rush to pack her things. She sat down, stretched her neck, and felt that her stiff neck was more comfortable before slowly getting up to start packing.

"Xiaomin..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

When she heard her classmate call her name, Luo Min didn't turn around to look at him, but just answered casually.

"Xiaomin, when is your Director Li coming over to give us another lesson?"

When Li Yancheng was still working at the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters, he accepted an invitation to teach students in the Political Academy's long-term training program, lecturing on preliminary investigations. He even compiled a textbook specifically for this purpose.

So far, he has attended three classes. Due to work, his classes cannot be scheduled at fixed times and can only be arranged on short notice.

His status was extraordinary, which meant his classes were always packed. Although he said he only taught the long-term training program, and the three long-term training programs combined only had a little over 110 students, in reality, the number of students attending each of his three classes was no less than 500.

The school had originally arranged for a large classroom, which could just fit all the trainees in the long-term training program if they squeezed in. However, as soon as the time for the first class was arranged, the school leaders received calls from the Beijing Municipal Court, the Procuratorate, and the Supervisory Commission.

These organizations called with only one purpose: to arrange for someone to audit Li Yancheng's classes.

Although the school is not under the jurisdiction of Beijing, it is still on Beijing's territory. These units made such reasonable requests, and the school naturally could not refuse. After contacting and communicating with Li Yancheng, the school moved the large classroom where classes were originally held to the school auditorium.

Although the school agreed to allow the three organizations to send people to audit the class, it wasn't without restrictions. The school allocated fifty slots to each organization, and the Municipal Public Security Bureau also received a slot. The four organizations sent a total of two hundred people, and with the trainees from the long-term training program, the number of students attending the class reached more than three hundred.

The school initially thought that was all the students, but to the school's surprise, the trainees in the short-term training course jointly wrote a letter requesting to take the course as well.

In fact, the school leaders knew that many of the trainees in the short training course had ulterior motives; they were there specifically for the person who taught the course.

Li Yancheng is currently the deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, which puts him among the top figures in Beijing's political and legal system. At such a young age, he is definitely a person with a bright future.

Countless people want to curry favor with him, and to actually get a word in with him, you have to be at a certain level. Now that they have such a good opportunity to get close to him, not to mention that they can say they are Director Li's student when they go out, no one is willing to give it up.

The school had no other options; they had already allocated places to students outside the school. They couldn't very well prevent their own students from going, so the school leaders simply waved their hands and told everyone to go.

This has resulted in the number of students who were originally supposed to teach only 110 or so now suddenly increasing to over 500.

Li Yancheng didn't care. It didn't matter how many people taught him. He never had the idea of ​​keeping his knowledge to himself. As long as someone was willing to learn, he was willing to teach.

Unlike other teachers who have lesson plans and need to refer to their textbooks from time to time, Li Yancheng only brings a teacup to class. During the two-hour lectures, except for the ten-minute break in the middle, he talks non-stop and eloquently.

Like the textbooks he compiled, his lectures were also very engaging. Since he had not systematically studied interrogation techniques, all his lectures were based on real-world examples.

He talked about the cases he had participated in, the situations he encountered when interrogating criminals, what the small gestures made by those criminals during interrogation meant, and what the subtle facial expressions of those people represented during interrogation.

Compared to ordinary criminals, the criminals that the Social Affairs Bureau deals with are more cunning and more representative.

The real cases that have already occurred, but whose contents have been partially altered because they have not yet been declassified, and the psychological battles that unfolded, stirred the hearts of the trainees and working professionals who listened.

Although it was only three classes, totaling no more than six hours, Li Yancheng's class had become the most popular class in the entire school, without exception.

Unfortunately, unlike other teachers who have pre-arranged schedules and come to class on time, his classes are arranged according to his own availability.

It has been almost a month since his last class.

When asked by a classmate, Luo Min smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't know the specifics of the arrangements. He's quite busy with work, especially now that it's the end of the year. He has to do work summaries and plan for the next year. I estimate that the next class will be next semester."

"Huh? It'll take that long!"

"I was hoping we could have another class with Director Li before the holidays, but it looks like that's not going to happen this semester."

“I always dozed off during other teachers’ classes, and I always thought it was my problem. But I was always alert during Director Li’s class. That’s when I realized that there are differences between teachers.”

……

The students next to Luo Min also heard what she said, and they all expressed their disappointment.

Listening to her classmates' complaints, Luo Min pursed her lips helplessly. What she didn't say was that Li Yancheng had been busy not only with the bureau's administrative work and case matters, but also with the court asking him to assist in the interrogation of some people.

We cannot simply use his special interrogation method on those people; instead, we must win their hearts and minds and get them to confess the numerous crimes they committed during those years.

Luo Min never expected that her husband, who had only attended three classes, would be so popular among his classmates. Of course, she admitted that her husband's classes were indeed interesting, with topics like micro-expressions, criminal psychology, and forensic sketching. Not to mention the other students, even she had never heard of them before.

The key point is that the lectures were very interesting. They weren't just repetitive theories, nor were they case summaries based on case files like others do. Instead, they were lectures by actual executors, something other teachers simply don't possess.

Anyway, Luo Min absolutely loves taking her man's classes.

"Xiaomin, does Director Li talk to you about those things when he's at home?" "No, why would he talk about those things at home? He faces the same things every day at work. If he talked to me about them when he got home, it would be so annoying."

Luo Min's close classmate smiled and said, "You and Director Li both used to work in the Social Affairs Bureau. I thought you would discuss case-related matters at home."

“That’s even more impossible.” Luo Min shook his head and said, “The Social Affairs Bureau enforces confidentiality regulations very strictly. I work in the Confidential Section of the Municipal Bureau, and he works at headquarters. We don’t talk about our work at home.”

She wasn't just saying that to be polite. At home, she and Li Yancheng really didn't talk about work much. When they did talk about their workplaces, it was usually about interpersonal relationships. As for what they were busy with lately, neither of them would ask the other.

It's not that they don't talk about work at all; occasionally, if she has something she doesn't know how to do at work, she will ask Li Yancheng, but she won't ask about any specific matter.

"Xiaomin, Director Li is now the executive deputy director of the municipal bureau, and he has a heavier burden on his shoulders than before. Is he extremely busy every day?"

busy?

Luo Min was slightly taken aback. She carefully recalled her husband's situation. He was indeed very busy with a lot of work, but that was during normal working hours. After get off work, unless he was on duty, he would usually go home on time. Except for a limited number of people, he almost never accepted invitations to meals from others, not even those from the families of high-ranking officials.

Because of this, she has heard many people say that her man is cold and unreasonable.

Although he was busy with work, he never neglected to spend time with his children or with her. Over the years, she has always believed that with such a husband, what more could a woman ask for?

Luo Min's classmate asked this question without any ulterior motives; he was simply curious about the life of a leader.

For the vast majority of people, it's impossible to come into contact with a cadre of Li Yancheng's rank in their entire lives.

Although Li Yancheng's current rank is not yet at the senior level, he has already entered the ranks. However, since he has not been a director-general level official for long, he is unlikely to be promoted any further in the short term.

However, if he stays in this position for three to five years and achieves some results, for example, during the period when he was in charge of criminal investigation, the number of criminal offenses in Beijing decreased significantly, and that would be his achievement.

"He is indeed quite busy." Luo Min, who had already packed her things, followed the classmate she had been talking to as they walked out of the classroom, and said in a low voice.

"Do people now have to line up to report to Director Li every day?" the student asked curiously.

She wasn't from Beijing; she came from another province to study. Before coming here, she was a clerk in the office of her local municipal bureau, a deputy section chief, which was equivalent to a deputy section-level staff member without any real position. She was two years older than Luo Min. After graduating and returning home, she would likely become a deputy director of a local police station or a deputy section chief in a certain department, thus putting her deputy section-level position into practice.

After working for two years, once a suitable position becomes available, it's about time to remove the "deputy" title.

When she worked in the municipal bureau office, she often saw subordinates coming to report to the bureau chief or executive deputy bureau chief; it was common for them to have to queue up.

Li Yancheng, as the executive deputy director of the municipal bureau, is of a much higher rank than the leaders of her own municipal bureau, so there must be many more people reporting to him every day.

Indeed, this is true. If Li Yancheng wanted, he could sit in his office all day listening to reports, and Secretary Yang could fill his time completely.

The problem is that he doesn't like that. He prefers to go down to the grassroots and take a look. He has been the executive deputy for less than a month, and he has already taken the time to visit all the branches (counties) under the jurisdiction of Beijing Municipality, except for a few branches in the urban area. He observes on-site, listens to work reports, and resolves problems on the spot if they can be resolved. If a problem needs to be discussed at a meeting, he will communicate with Director Dai in a timely manner and put the problem on the agenda.

In his view, the Public Security Bureau is a unit that solves problems, a pragmatic unit, and a window unit that directly interacts with the people, not a department that does empty talk. Whether it is a front-line police officer or a bureau leader, the work they do should be aimed at solving problems.

Luo Min knew that her good friend had no ulterior motives and was just curious when she asked the question. She smiled and said, "You've asked the wrong person. I'm not his secretary. I don't arrange his work. He goes to work during the day, and I'm here taking classes. How would I know if anyone comes to report to him? Anyway, no one comes to my house at night."

It's not that no one wants to go; in fact, many people want to go. The problem is that Li Yancheng won't allow it. The leaders have made it clear that, apart from the case, all other work can only be discussed at the office.

This effectively blocked the path for those who used the guise of reporting on work to visit homes with ulterior motives.

People still came to visit, and each one would inevitably bring something with them. No matter what they brought, Li Yancheng would accept it all. However, he would also estimate the price himself and give the money to the person, which was equivalent to him buying those things.

If the person bringing the items doesn't accept payment, then I'm sorry, you can take the items back.

Then, he would also voluntarily report to the supervisory office of the bureau for registration.

In his own words, he has come this far because countless people are watching him, and even more want to bring him down. Every step he takes is like walking on thin ice, and he cannot leave any handle for those with ulterior motives.

Sometimes, Luo Min felt tired for her husband. Not only did he have to work, but he also had to give physical examinations to retired comrades at fixed times every quarter, and he often had to help other units.

There are also some criminals eyeing him covetously, in addition to those with ill intentions.

She often wanted to tell her husband, "If it doesn't work out, let's quit. Let's just be doctors and settle down."

But she knew very well that her man was a man of great vision, with his own political ambitions and ideals, and she couldn't hold him back.

She had already planned it all out. After graduating from school and returning to her workplace, she would apply to work in a less demanding department so she could focus on being a good wife and give her husband peace of mind.

"Xiaomin, is Director Li always so serious at home?"

"It's alright, I'm not his subordinate, why is he being so serious with me?"

Thinking about how serious her man was when he came to class, and then thinking about how he was always so unserious at home, the extreme contrast made Luo Min's lips unconsciously curl upwards.
