Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 26 Director Resigns

"Deputy Song." Several patrol guards who had been waiting there came quickly with crossbows in hand.

Song Changming nodded, looked at the thief in front of him, and asked, "Is there a reward for this guy?"

"Yes, the Ghost-faced Thief. The government offers a reward of ten silver coins." Jiang Chunzi confirmed after looking at the other party's appearance and the ghost-face mask.

"Not bad. My time guarding tonight was not in vain. Let's take it back." Song Changming put away the knife, feeling quite satisfied.

No matter how small a fish is, it is still a fish, and it is good enough to get a reward.

Several patrol guards were also very happy, because usually as long as they participated in this kind of reward, they could get a share of it.

Of course, the biggest share still goes to the patrol chief and his deputy Song Changming.

After all, they are the superiors in charge of the patrol team, so they always have the privilege to get more benefits.

After imprisoning the thieves who had been roaming around Houli Street recently, Song Changming was about to go home to rest when he was stopped by a patrol guard who followed Liang Chuanshan.

"Deputy Song, Liangtou asked me to wait for you at the Patrol Armor Office. He told you to go to Chunfeng Garden to find him after you finish your work." said the patrol guard.

"Tonight?" Song Changming was a little surprised.

"Yes."

"I understand." Song Changming changed out of his armored patrol officer uniform, put on his usual clothes and went to accept the invitation.

Chunfengyuan is located in the prosperous area of ​​Houli Street. As a well-known place of entertainment, it is still brightly lit and crowded with customers even late at night.

The melodious sound of the piano and flute and the woman's sweet laughter could be heard clearly outside the pavilion.

After more than half a year, Song Changming is no longer unfamiliar with this place.

Due to his duties, he is familiar with every street and alley in Houli Street, including Chunfengyuan.

Another reason is that as Liang Chuanshan's confidant who was promoted by him, the other party often brought him here for entertainment.

Soon, he came to the private room on the second floor with familiarity and found Liang Chuanshan who was listening to music.

"Come on, sit down." Liang Chuanshan sat cross-legged on the pillow in the private room, took a sip of wine, smiled at Song Changming, then waved his hand, signaling the female musicians and dancers in the room to leave.

The women bowed slowly and glanced at Song Changming who had just entered.

Song Changming, who is nearly twenty years old, is obviously taller than last year.

He was wearing a black long suit with a waistline, and the cuffs and trouser legs were tied and fixed, just to keep him flexible and easy to move at all times.

Perhaps it was because of the training he received in the Patrol Armor Division that his appearance had completely shed his childishness and he looked more and more handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

There was a hint of coldness between his brows, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, its edge fully exposed.

It's no wonder that the women here would take a few more glances at such a young man with excellent looks.

Song Changming sat next to Liang Chuanshan, quietly waiting for the other party's next words.

He knew that the other party came to him suddenly, he must have something to discuss.

And most of them are things that cannot be discussed in the Patrol Armor Division, so they come here to talk.

Facing Song Changming, Liang Chuanshan did not beat around the bush and said directly: "What I said before has been confirmed. The director will step down this year."

Song Changming nodded, not surprised, as this was something they had talked about before.

Their Houli Street director is over 70 years old. Although he still has prestige, he is old and not as energetic as he used to be. He can no longer stay in this high position.

Relinquishing the throne to a more capable person is inevitable.

The question is, who will be the next director selected by the higher-ups? According to past experience, the most suitable person is usually selected from among the patrol chiefs who are most familiar with the local affairs to be elected as the new director.

As one of the patrol chiefs of Houli Street, Liang Chuanshan is naturally a strong candidate for promotion to the next director.

In fact, in the past few years, the competition between several patrol chiefs has already begun openly or covertly.

In the past, Liang Chuanshan and Sun Wenyan disliked each other, formed cliques, and opposed each other at every turn. One of the main reasons was that they were both eyeing the position of director and subconsciously competed for each other in private.

Previously, Song Changming was caught in the middle of the competition for credit and people, and this was the deeper reason.

Liang Chuanshan picked up a few slices of beef from the bowl and put them into his mouth, then took a sip of wine before continuing.

"Lü just left us and took up the post of patrol chief last year. He has no qualifications at all, so it is basically impossible for him to become a candidate for director.

Zhu Bairen and Zhang Sihai are not young anymore, and their achievements in recent years are not outstanding. Even if they are qualified to run for election, they will probably be ranked behind me.

The only two people who can really threaten me are Qian Wen and Zhao Dezhi."

After listening to this, Song Changming nodded and said, "That's true."

He now knows much more about the situation in the Patrol Armor Division than when he first became a patrol guard.

Just as Liang Chuanshan said, at this final moment, the only ones who were truly competitive were the three patrol captains including Liang Chuanshan.

"Changming, I was the one who promoted you, and I treated you well. Between me and Zhao Dezhi, you should know who you stand behind." Liang Chuanshan suddenly clinked his wine glass with Song Changming and said.

"Of course, boss. Are you dissatisfied with my recent performance?" Song Changming said helplessly. He also understood the purpose of Liang Chuanshan calling him here today, which was somewhat like a reminder or a warning.

No matter how distant he was from Zhao Dezhi, they were still related by marriage.

There was nothing wrong with it before, but now at this critical moment, even if Liang Chuanshan trusts Song Changming, he can't help but want to confirm it again and again.

He didn't want to be stabbed in the back and held back by the people around him.

"Your performance has been very good recently, or rather, your performance this year has been very good. The best decision I made in the past was to recruit you into my patrol team, but I am too sensitive right now." Liang Chuanshan said frankly.

"I trust your character, and I won't mention it again."

Song Changming nodded, and the matter was quickly revealed without saying much.

He could understand Liang Chuanshan. After all, this was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for promotion.

If Liang Chuanshan misses this opportunity, it will be very difficult for him to get another chance of promotion, and perhaps there will be no hope for the rest of his life.

Anyone would be more sensitive at this time.

Among the six patrol chiefs, he was promoted by Liang Chuanshan, and was most familiar with Liang Chuanshan and had the closest relationship with him. Naturally, he supported Liang Chuanshan the most to become the director.

This is also good for Song Changming himself.

"The patrol team must perform well recently and strive to get any credit, no matter how small it is. These recorded credits are the best bargaining chips!" Liang Chuanshan then instructed Song Changming.

"I understand." Song Changming agreed, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "I heard that the positions of directors in each district are all decided by the General Security Directorate under the County Magistrate's Office."

Liang Chuanshan understood and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I have already taken care of everything that needs to be taken care of. I believe Qian Wen and Zhao Dezhi have done the same, they have all spent their family savings.

Those guys at the top are all very greedy. This money can only ensure that they are impartial when making decisions. I can't afford more, and Qian Wen and Zhao Dezhi can't afford any more either.

Besides, there are people from the County Governor's Office watching us, so we dare not do anything too extreme. What we need to do now is to win with absolute merit, and I have the upper hand in this regard."

Overall, Liang Chuanshan is quite confident about being promoted to the position of director this time.

Now he went to Song Changming to discuss the matter only to maximize his advantage in this area, so that he could have a 100% chance of winning.
