After listening to Teacher Liu's suggestion, Li Mu agreed after a little consideration. Staying in the Criminal Investigation Division offered no hope of promotion in the next few years, so he figured he might as well spend two years as a deputy director at a local police station to gain experience.

Even with Li Mu's qualifications, it would be difficult for him to secure a temporary post!

However, the main responsibility of the Municipal Bureau's Political Department is personnel and publicity. As the deputy director of the Municipal Bureau's Political Department, Teacher Liu still has a certain say in this matter.

As expected, Li Mu was included in the list of personnel sent to work at the grassroots level. This time, the Municipal Bureau selected more than 30 people in total. There are more than 160 police stations in the jurisdiction of Qing City. The Municipal Bureau conducts rankings every year and every quarter.

The more than 30 people selected by the Municipal Bureau will be seconded to the bottom 30 or so police stations as deputy directors or deputy instructors to improve the professional capabilities of the grassroots police stations.

Li Mu was lucky, or perhaps Teacher Liu really put his heart into this matter.

He was assigned to the Balihe Police Station as a deputy director on temporary assignment. Compared to others, the Balihe Police Station, where Li Mu was assigned, was ranked relatively high among the bottom thirty-odd police stations, and its location was not remote.

It should be noted that most of these thirty-odd police stations are located in remote suburbs and their conditions are not very good.

This is also why no one in the municipal bureau was vying for this temporary assignment; if the assignment were to a police station in the city center, there would be a fierce competition.

Li Mu has been working at the Balihe Police Station for over a month now.

All of the above is the memory he just sorted out, his own development since joining the police force in this world.

With a long sigh, Li Mu sat up in bed. It was a pretty good start; he was directly appointed as the deputy director, and he was even seconded from the municipal bureau to improve the business capabilities of grassroots staff.

Although grassroots units are generally not very welcoming to people sent down from above for temporary assignments, they can still have some say if they fight for it.

At the very least, they have the right to speak up in the institute when something happens.

After getting up, getting dressed, washing up, and having breakfast, Li Mu went to the nearby park to exercise for more than an hour. After checking the time, he drove his father's second-hand Jetta to work at the Balihe Police Station.

Qingshi, as the largest economic city in Dongshan Province, has a large urban area. The jurisdiction of Balihe Police Station was originally located in the urban-rural fringe, but with economic development, the economy here has gradually improved. Now it has newly developed commercial areas and schools, as well as old residential areas and farmers' markets.

All sorts of people gather here, bringing boundless vitality, but also a variety of contradictions and social problems.

When Li Mu drove to the police station, he found that quite a few people had already arrived and were cleaning up. Based on his memory, Li Mu knew that Xia Jie and the others should be reporting for duty today.

After exchanging greetings along the way, we arrived at the second floor. Before even entering my office, I could faintly hear the voice of Director Wang Shouyi.

"Director Song, didn't our performance improve this quarter? The public satisfaction rate also increased by 0.4%! Why are we still ranked over 140th...? You know what the situation is like in Balihe..."

"We begged and pleaded before we were assigned four new recruits. One of them is a high-achieving student who's just here for a short-term bonus and will have to go back sooner or later; the other is Xiaojie. We can't let Xiaojie suffer any hardship or dirty work."

"There are two spots left, you're adding one more... You're allocating people, not goods, and you're including someone else?"

"Don't try to fool me, I already know. He was at the bottom of the class when he got in, he was disciplined at the police academy, and he was called out several times during training."

"Yes, yes! I know. A deputy director was just assigned to us a little over a month ago. He's an elite officer from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Division. Of course we welcome him. We warmly welcome him."

"But this was arranged by the municipal bureau, not the branch bureau. Besides, they're here on temporary assignment. Can I treat them like the ruthless guys under my command?"

"No, we must make the comrades from the Municipal Bureau feel our enthusiasm and the warmth of our branch family."

"Director, please stop. I'm not upset at all. I'm in a great mood. It's just that our ranking is low, and the municipal bureau sent people to help us improve our professional skills!"

……

Li Mu listened speechlessly. Sure enough, it was difficult for those who were seconded to work at the grassroots level to integrate. Wang Shouyi, the director, was a kind-hearted man, and he had the same idea.

However, there should also be an element of him deliberately complaining to the bureau chief. Li Mu has been here for more than a month, and Wang Shouyi has taken good care of him.

After the other party hung up the phone, Li Mu knocked on the door and went inside.

"Director Wang, I heard we have a new recruit?"

Wang Shouyi saw him and said with a smile, "Li Mu is here, sit down, sit down!"

"Our station is short-staffed! I've gone to the bureau so many times, and finally, they've assigned us new officers."

Li Mu didn't stand on ceremony and readily found a chair to sit down.

He laughed and said, "This is a good thing! Our station is short of officers, so now we have people to do the work."

Wang Shouyi gave a wry smile and shook his head: "Working? I doubt it."

"There are four people. One is a top student from Peking University who came here for training; another is Xiao Jie, whose father was our former director who died in the line of duty, so we have to take care of him."

"Of the remaining two, one was a last-minute replacement, someone who barely made it in and even received disciplinary action at the police academy. Only one is left, someone who is qualified and can actually do the work."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Chief, are you dissatisfied? Why don't you submit a report to the bureau and ask them to make a change?"

Wang Shouyi smiled wryly and said, "Do you think the bureau is so easy to deal with? There are only a few people here, and I had to beg and plead to get them. Even if they can't do anything else, they can still help out by organizing some documents and doing odd jobs, which will lighten the bureau's burden."

Li Mu said, "Chief, I think you're just saying that, but you're actually quite happy inside."

Wang Shouyi smiled helplessly: "There's nothing we can do. Having someone is better than having no one. With proper training and development, we can always produce some good talents."

As he spoke, Wang Shouyi suddenly said, "Li Mu, you are also a leader in the institute. The city bureau sent down some elite soldiers to support our grassroots level. This time, four new people were assigned. Why don't you take on an apprentice and give it a try?"

Li Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Director, I'm still young, and I came to our station with a learning attitude. I'll need your guidance in the future, so I'm not qualified to mentor anyone. Let's not go!"

Wang Shouyi smiled and said, "Don't be modest. Although you are young, you come from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment, so your professional skills are beyond question. You'll have to put in more effort in the station's work in the future, which will make things easier for me."

Li Mu said, "Okay, but I'm still young and inexperienced. If I do anything wrong in the future, you should correct me in time."

“Alright, let’s go for it!” Wang Shouyi said, glancing at the time, then stood up and said, “Let’s stop here for now. Today, not only are there new recruits reporting for duty, but Director Song is also here to inspect the work. I’ll go see how the preparations outside are going.”

Upon leaving the office, people from all the offices were cleaning the corridor in preparation for a welcoming ceremony.

Wang Shouyi nitpicked: "Hey, Liu, you're like a nagging old woman painting a picture! Didn't you wipe that pane of glass clean? Clean it up, Director Song will be here to welcome you in person later."

Down on the first floor, Wang Shouyi checked the time again and urged, "Hurry, hurry! The chief and the new officers will be here soon! We need to make our station look brand new, so that the young people will love it as soon as they arrive and won't want to leave."

A policeman standing nearby chuckled, "Chief, we didn't see you making such a big fuss when we joined the force!"

Wang Shouyi glared at him: "When did you join the station? This time, four young people have joined the station at once. This has never happened before in the history of Balihe Police Station!"

An older policeman muttered under his breath, "No matter how many more are brought in, we'll still have to do the work!"

Wang Shouyi glared at him: "Rely on you guys? When there's a real need, can your old arms and legs even get involved?"

The old policeman sighed, "I haven't even started to feel like I can't keep up! And the station chief is already complaining that I'm too old?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

After they'd had enough laughing, Wang Shouyi said, "Stop joking around, you've got five minutes to do a final check! The director's coming right away, so make me proud!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly checked the next place.

Li Mu returned to his office and looked around. Although it was a bit simple, it was not bad.

He straightened his police uniform in front of the mirror, saluted, smiled faintly, and went downstairs.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard downstairs from the police station, I saw a young man in plain clothes cleaning up, working more enthusiastically than anyone else.

Director Wang Shouyi happened to be patrolling this area and walked over with a curious look, asking Ye Wei, the instructor nearby, "Who's that? Hired another cleaner?"

Ye Wei glanced at him and said, "Him? He's Zhao Jiwei, the new police officer. He's a good young man, and he's observant."

Zhao Jiwei heard someone call his name and turned around to look.

Wang Shouyi waved to him: "Young man."

Zhao Jiwei quickly ran over.

Ye Wei introduced: "This is Wang Shouyi, the director of our Balihe Police Station."

Zhao Jiwei immediately stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly with a serious expression, "Reporting to the station chief, trainee police officer Zhao Jiwei is reporting for duty!"

Wang Shouyi smiled and nodded: "You've just arrived and you're already getting to work, well done!"

Zhao Jiwei said shyly, "Thank you for the compliment, Director."

Li Mu then walked over, and instructor Ye Wei introduced him, saying, "This is Li Mu, the deputy director of our Balihe Police Station. He's a young comrade just like you."

Zhao Jiwei looked at Li Mu with some shock. The young man in front of him looked only a little older than him, and he was already the deputy director.

Thinking that he could do the same in the future, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. He stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly, "Hello, Chief Li, I am Zhao Jiwei, a trainee police officer."

Li Mu returned the greeting with a smile: "Hello! No need to be so formal. We're all the same age, let's exchange ideas more often in the future."

"Yes!" Zhao Jiwei nodded vigorously. Just as he was about to say something more, Deputy Director Cheng Hao led Xia Jie over.

"Chief, look who's here."

When Wang Shouyi saw Xia Jie, he quickly went over and said, "Xiao Jie is here. It's been years since I've seen you. You've grown into a beautiful young woman! I wouldn't recognize you if you walked down the street. Your dad would be so happy if he could see you."

Xia Jie saluted: "Chief, trainee police officer Xia Jie reporting for duty!"

Wang Shou nodded: "Yes! Yes! It's trainee police officer Xia Jie, welcome. Your mom called this morning asking me to look after you. What kind of talk is that from your sister-in-law, needing her to remind you like that!"

Xia Jie glanced at the people around her. It was only her first day at work, and her mother was so openly asking for special treatment, which made her feel very embarrassed. She wished she could disappear into the ground.

Zhao Jiwei looked over with envy.

Li Mu noticed her discomfort and stepped forward with a smile, saying, "This must be Director Xia Junxiong's daughter. Like father, like daughter, she'll be a good police officer in the future."

He smiled at her and said, "Don't feel pressured or embarrassed by what the station chief said. As the child of a martyr, it's only right that the station takes care of you. Otherwise, who will want to be a policeman in the future?"

Xia Jie nodded silently, glancing at Li Mu with curiosity.

Cheng Hao introduced, "Xia Jie, this is Li Mu, the deputy director of our Balihe Police Station. He's not much older than you. You can exchange ideas and learn from each other more often in the future."

Xia Jie was a little surprised, not expecting someone so young to be the deputy director. She saluted and said, "Hello, Director Li, I am Xia Jie, a trainee police officer."

Li Mu returned her greeting and said, "Hello, no need to be so polite. From now on, please make this your home."

Xia Jie nodded and said, "Mm!"
