Wang Shouyi said, "Now that you all know the newcomers, tell me, what are your impressions?"

Gao Chao said, "That guy may be a bit of a chatterbox, but he's smart enough. He did a good job catching people last night. He's observant and has a good grasp of things. He's a promising talent."

Wang Shouyi laughed and said, "Li Dawei is a bit impetuous and inexperienced. Take yesterday morning's bus incident for example. It's rare to see someone so vigilant and sensitive, and who also understands human relationships."

As if he had just thought of something, Gao Chao raised his hand and said, "Director, let me make it clear first, I am still young, and I can't take care of children."

Wang Shouyi smiled awkwardly: "I didn't say who would lead the team, we're just discussing it first."

Gao Chao stood up: "Okay, it's not a formal meeting, right? Then I'm going to sleep." With that, he left the office in a flash.

Wang Shouyi sighed and looked at Li Mu: "Director Li, why don't you talk about it too? Which one do you think is better?"

Li Mu said, "All four are quite good; they are all promising talents."

Wang Shouyi smiled and said, "That won't do! Can't you go into more detail?"

Li Mu said, "Director, it's not that I don't want to say, but the new recruits just arrived yesterday. We haven't had much time to get to know them, so it's really hard to say which one we think is the best."

Wang Shouyi sighed: "Then I'll give you two more days to think it over carefully and decide which one you're optimistic about."

Li Mu nodded: "Okay! I'll go back first."

Just as he reached the door, he turned back and said, "However, Director, I'm even younger than Director Gao, and I really don't have much experience in mentoring apprentices. If you want to find a mentor for a newcomer, there are plenty of people in the station who are more suitable than me."

Wang Shouyi said helplessly, "I'll think about it some more."

As soon as Li Mu walked out, Chen Xincheng didn't even want to say a word and was about to get up and leave as well.

Ye Wei called out to Chen Xincheng, "Xincheng, why are you leaving too?"

Wang Shouyi knew that the other party also did not want to take on a disciple, so he waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I'll think about it some more."

Cao Jianjun said, "That's right, Cheng Suo isn't here either, so we can't discuss it. I'm leaving too."

Looking at the remaining reeds, Wang Shouyi said, "You should go back too."

Ye Wei had no choice but to get up and leave, leaving only Wang Shouyi sighing. These days, it's so difficult to find a mentor for a newcomer.

Chapter 357 Bringing New People

Wang Shouyi spent some time in his office worrying about how to persuade everyone to take on apprentices. After thinking about it, he realized that if all else failed, he would have no choice but to forcibly assign them the task.

He shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and went downstairs for a walk. He had just walked around the bottom of the stairs when someone suddenly called out from behind, "Chief."

Wang Shouyi turned around and asked, "Zhao Jiwei, is something wrong?"

Zhao Jiwei said somewhat embarrassedly, "Chief, I wanted to ask... will all four of us newcomers have a mentor?"

Wang Shouyi said, "That's right, it's a tradition."

Zhao Jiwei said, "Then, then...who is my master?"

Wang Shouyi is troubled by this matter!

"The institute has made unified arrangements for this, so don't worry, we will find you a satisfactory mentor."

Zhao Jiwei was overjoyed: "Chief, really!"

Wang Shouyi smiled encouragingly and said, "Of course it's true!"

"Hey! By the way, how's the CCTV investigation going? Are you settling in well at work?"

Zhao Jiwei thought to himself that he wanted to learn from Li Dawei and Yang Shu, to go out and make contributions, instead of sitting there checking surveillance footage and looking for diapers.

But, I didn't dare say that when I first started working.

He could only smile and say, "It's not bad, but we haven't made any progress yet. We're still investigating."

Wang Shou nodded and said, "That's good. Zhang Zhijie is an all-rounder in our institute. You should learn from him."

Zhao Jiwei nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something and looked at Wang Shouyi.

"Chief, you're not going to assign Officer Zhang to be my mentor, are you?"

Wang Shouyi said, "What's wrong? You were getting along really well with him. Why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Zhao Jiwei mustered his courage and said, "Chief, I don't want to be a community police officer. I want to go out on patrol like Li Dawei and Yang Shu, solve cases and make contributions."

Wang Shouyi looked at him with some surprise.

"So? Who do you want to be your mentor?"

After thinking it over, Zhao Jiwei looked at Director Wang Shouyi, who was standing right in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered, "Director, can you be my mentor?"

Wang Shouyi said speechlessly, "Me? To be your master?"

Zhao Jiwei said earnestly, "Chief, I've heard many of your heroic deeds..."

Wang Shouyi suddenly burst into laughter: "Zhao Jiwei, that's not how you flatter someone. I've worked at the grassroots level my whole life and haven't even received a third-class merit award. What heroic deeds do I have?"

Zhao Jiwei blushed: "Chief...I..."

Wang Shouyi waved his hand: "It's nothing. He's just a young comrade. It's understandable that he wants to go out on field missions to make a name for himself."

Zhao Jiwei nodded awkwardly, instinctively wanting to slip away, yet also somewhat unwilling.

Wang Shouyi, a policeman for his entire life, could easily see the conflict in his mind. Considering this, since he wanted to go on field duty and had the drive, he couldn't deny the young comrade a chance.

Of the four newcomers, Xia Jie's mentor is Cheng Hao, that much is certain. Wang Shouyi originally wanted one of the two deputy directors, Gao Chao and Li Mu, to take on another apprentice. However, both of them were somewhat reluctant, and given that they were deputy directors, it was not appropriate to force them to take on an apprentice, so he had to give up.

Further down the line, Cao Jianjun, although also reluctant to take on apprentices, was a man who valued his reputation, and a few words of praise were enough to easily persuade him to accept one.

Chen Xincheng also rejected it, but if Wang Shouyi insisted as the director, he could make the arrangements.

Only community police officer Zhang Zhijie was a good-natured and kind person, someone who wouldn't complain about taking on an apprentice. This was the mentor he was planning to assign to Zhao Jiwei. But who knew that young Zhao Jiwei would actually refuse?

However, although Wang Shouyi decided to give Zhao Jiwei a chance, he already knew who Cao Jianjun and Chen Xincheng would mentor, and he couldn't assign them to Zhao Jiwei. That left only Gao Chao and Li Mu, two tough nuts to crack, which he also couldn't handle.

After considering it for a moment, Wang Shouyi said, "Xiao Zhao! The institute always respects everyone's opinions. Since you want to go on fieldwork and find a suitable mentor, the institute will give you a chance."

"Gao Chao and Li Mu haven't taken on any apprentices yet. We'll have to decide on their mentors at tomorrow's meeting."

"If you want to do field work but don't want to be a community police officer, as long as either of them is willing to take you on, you can do field work with them from now on."

Zhao Jiwei exclaimed with delight, "Really? Thank you, Director!"

Wang Shouyi poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Don't be too happy yet. Neither of these two directors is very willing to take on apprentices right now. They'll have to agree to take you on at tomorrow's meeting."

Zhao Jiwei was a little disappointed, but he still nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Director."

Wang Shouyi smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead and get busy!"

……

In the afternoon, Li Mu was reviewing documents issued by the district branch office when Zhao Jiwei, for some unknown reason, ran over and started pouring him hot water, cleaning, and mopping the floor.

That diligence left Li Mu completely baffled; what was going on here?

The next morning, Li Mu went to the police station, made a phone call outside, and when he returned to the office, he saw Zhao Jiwei there, busily wiping windows, chairs, and tables.

Upon seeing Li Mu enter, he quickly put down the rag, stood at attention, and saluted: "Hello, Director Li!"

Li Mu felt a little embarrassed by his shout, especially the gesture of standing at attention and saluting. It's fine to use it in formal public occasions, but to use it so casually in private is really a bit uncomfortable.

Nod and smile: "Hello! You've worked hard. Don't bother anymore, go back to work."

Zhao Jiwei shook his head vigorously and said, "Director Li, I'm not tired. I already finished watching the surveillance footage last night. There's just a little bit of cleaning left. I'll wipe it down and leave. It won't interfere with your work, Director Li."

Seeing his determined look, as if he wouldn't give up until he finished wiping the glass, Li Mu smiled and shook his head, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and sat down in his office chair.

After flipping through a few pages of documents, Zhao Jiwei finally finished his work and saluted again.

"Director Li, I'm done wiping. I won't disturb you any longer. Please continue with your work!"

Li Mu smiled at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhao."

Zhao Jiwei said happily, "It's not hard work at all!"

After saying that, he picked up the basin, turned around happily, and left. Li Mu was left speechless, wondering what was going on.

Around 10 a.m., Director Wang Shouyi called a meeting to formally determine the mentors for several trainee police officers. Only then did Li Mu vaguely guess what was going on.

But he never agreed to take on an apprentice! Besides, Zhao Jiwei should have been assigned to Zhang Zhijie by the director, so what's the point of him trying to curry favor with me here?

The small meeting room of the police station.

Wang Shouyi said, "What I just talked about were the key points, especially in learning the 'Fengqiao Experience.' We must take it seriously and not just keep it on paper or in words, but put it into practice in specific case handling. Everyone should pay attention to this. Next, I would like to talk about a few trainee police officers."

As he spoke, he coughed lightly, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

“Our institute has always had a tradition of mentorship. Every newcomer has a mentor.”

"A mentor should not only teach his apprentices skills, but more importantly, let them know what the honor of a police officer is and what the mission of a police officer is."

"Of course, young people today have comprehensive knowledge and a broad perspective. In some aspects, they know more than their masters. Therefore, masters cannot be complacent and must also learn from their apprentices."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Dawei and the others.

"You young new police officers all have your own ideals and ambitions. But the work in the station needs to be done by someone and someone needs to learn. The mentorship you've been assigned to this time is just a transition; you may not be doing this for the rest of your lives, understand?"

The four new police officers nodded vigorously.

"understood."

Wang Shouyi smiled, took out a notebook, and opened it, saying, "Cheng Hao will be in charge of the security aspect, this has already been decided, you all know that."
