Therefore, I believe that since our two villages have been fighting for so many years and have now become neighbors, we should turn hostility into friendship.
Even if the issue can't be resolved, it would be fine to never have anything to do with each other again. That would save a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, if this endless fighting continues, it won't benefit any of us.
Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, everyone began to consider them in their minds, and then realized that what Wu Mingcheng said made a lot of sense.
Many villagers began to whisper among themselves, each weighing the pros and cons.
Coupled with the impact of the recent incident on the villagers, many villagers agreed with Wu Mingcheng's statement.
Wu Mingcheng suggested,
"After all, it's unrealistic to expect our two villages to immediately abandon so many years of grudges and turn hostility into friendship."
I'm thinking of setting up a two-month cooling-off period, during which everyone can completely calm down.
We can go back to normal life, without arguing or making a fuss, and see what that's like.
Let's consider how setting aside our conflicts would affect our lives. What do you all think of my suggestion?
Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, the villagers all nodded in agreement.
The village chiefs of Lijiazhuang and Liujiazhuang exchanged a glance and said in unison,
"Okay, let's set a two-month cooling-off period,"
Seeing that Wu Mingcheng had resolved the matter perfectly, and that there would be no further trouble at Sunshine Garden for at least two months, Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Mingcheng said at this moment,
"Alright, everyone can go home now."
And so, Wu Mingcheng finally quelled the conflict completely.
Wang Shouyi approached Wu Mingcheng, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him.
"You're a good kid, well done! You're a real lucky charm, you've solved all the problems at Sunshine Home."
Cao Jianjun then raised a question,
"But what if the villagers continue to cause trouble two months later?"
Chen Xincheng and Zhang Zhijie, who were standing nearby, also looked at him curiously.
Wu Mingcheng shook his head, smiled slightly, and said,
"Did you notice something just now? The ones making the most noise were mostly older people."
On the contrary, young people lack enthusiasm, which shows that they don't take this conflict seriously at all.
A two-month cooling-off period is enough for them to experience the benefits of calm.
Without the annoying noise, the neighborhood became quiet, and I could finally get some rest.
Those with children at home should focus on taking care of them, and those with jobs should concentrate on their work.
Two months later, do you think they'll still be in the mood to cause trouble? Even if they were, these young people wouldn't agree to it, so it wouldn't even start.
Wu Mingcheng had a firm grasp on these people's psychology.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shouyi nodded in satisfaction and then said...
"You're quite the schemer, you're so good at understanding people's psychology,"
Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,
"Director, I've been studying psychology recently, so I have some understanding of it,"
Xia Jie, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and the others listened in awe, feeling the gap between themselves and Wu Mingcheng widening.
Li Dawei looked at the poplar tree beside him and said softly,
"Doctor, you're also a top student, can you do it?"
Yang Shu gave him a disapproving look, and then said,
"What do you think? I only have a Master of Laws degree, how would I know anything about psychology? I'm not a genius like a martial arts god,"
After all the villagers had left, the group got into the police car and returned to the Jiulihe Police Station.
Xia Jie thoughtfully placed tissues under the car seat before sitting down to avoid soiling the police car with her muddy clothes.
Seeing her little gestures, Wu Mingcheng smiled. She was such a thoughtful girl.
He sat down next to Xia Jie without hesitation.
Xia Jie quickly reminded him,
"Mingcheng, be careful, don't let my mud get on your 5.6-year-old body,"
Wu Mingcheng said indifferently,
"Hey, if you don't care, why would I be afraid of a little dirt? I'll have to do laundry when I get back anyway,"
Just then, Yang Shu was sitting in the passenger seat, diligently wiping his hands with a wet wipe. Hearing their conversation, he froze on the spot.
Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,
"It's okay, you can wipe it. I wasn't talking about you."
Then, he took a tissue and handed it to Xia Jie, saying,
"Wipe the mud off your arms, otherwise it will feel uncomfortable."
Seeing that Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and Zhao Jiwei weren't paying attention to the two of them, Xia Jie blushed slightly as she accepted the tissue.
Chapter 269 Can't Be a Policeman Anymore?
Xia Jie wiped the mud off her arms, but because the car was rather cramped, there were some places she couldn't reach at the back.
Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng pulled out a few tissues and then said,
"Okay, let me wipe it for you."
As he spoke, he wiped a spot that Xia Jie couldn't reach herself.
Xia Jie was slightly shy at this moment, glancing at Li Dawei and the others in front of her every now and then, as if afraid they would see her.
Wu Mingcheng, however, remained calm. They weren't doing anything clandestine; they weren't afraid of being seen.
Although Li Dawei and the others sitting in the front noticed the two people's actions, they wisely refrained from looking back.
At this moment, Zhao Jiwei, sitting on the other side, couldn't help but sigh.
"Being a police officer is really tough. We can't even get angry when we're wronged. It's so frustrating!"
Xia Jie, however, remained quite calm at this moment, saying,
"Actually, that's just how our job is; most of the time, we're here to help people solve problems."
When my dad was a policeman for 16 years, there was a slogan: "If you're in trouble, find the police."
My dad said that in the past, if someone dropped their phone in the outhouse, they would call the police to retrieve it for them.”
Then Yang Shu started using academic terminology, as if he were giving a lecture.
"I think the institute's approach was correct. Moving from a familiar society to a more unfamiliar one involves a change in people's mindset..."
Upon hearing Yang Shu's words, Li Dawei immediately covered his ears and then said,
"Doctor, Doctor, okay, stop. Can we do our research somewhere else?"
No, I mean, how come you, a fake PhD, start spouting things we don't understand?
I reckon Mingcheng is the only one here who can understand what you're saying, but he never gives us lessons.”
Everyone in the car burst into laughter at Li Dawei's words, and even Wu Mingcheng couldn't help but chuckle.
After returning to the station, Xia Jie changed into civilian clothes and came out of the locker room, carrying a neatly folded, dirty police uniform in her arms.
Just then, her phone rang again; the caller ID showed her mother.
This time, Xia Jie finally answered the phone, and her mother's voice came through immediately.
She said urgently from the other side,
"Xiaojie, why haven't you answered Mom's calls for so long? I was so worried!"
Xia Jie began to explain.
"Mom, I was a bit busy today, but I did something that I felt quite accomplished,"
Xia's mother interrupted her directly and said,
"You don't need to say anything. I've already called Wang Shouyi and Ye Wei. Why haven't you come home yet?"
Xia Jie was furious when she heard her mother calling her superiors again.
"Mom, why did you call my boss again?"
At this moment, Xia's mother sobbed and said,
"You're still bringing this up? I wouldn't have known you'd suffered so much if you hadn't called. Come back soon."
"I'm quitting. I'm not staying at Jiulihe Police Station anymore. I'm calling your Deputy Director Song right now and asking him to transfer you to another unit."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jie immediately became anxious and said...
