Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Chapter 449 Too good at dealing with people

Wu Mingcheng had a good relationship with the veteran police officers and auxiliary police officers at the station.

Immediately, an experienced police officer from the station spoke up from the crowd.

"Mingcheng, it's alright. What policeman hasn't encountered this kind of trouble?"

Several police officers nearby echoed,

"Yes, that's right,"

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Ultimately, it was our fault that caused the delay in the institute's work, and we feel quite embarrassed about that."

Therefore, we have prepared a lot of fruit. Everyone is welcome to take some as dessert after the meal.

I also took some snacks home with me. I can have them as afternoon tea when I feel sleepy or tired.

This is just a small token of our appreciation, and it doesn't cost much. We hope you won't refuse it.

On the table behind Wu Mingcheng were boxes of fruit, but these weren't just apples or pears.

Instead, they are more like premium fruits such as Shine Muscat, Yubari King melon, Santina cherry, and Queen pineapple.

There were also many pastries wrapped in kraft paper, each one quite expensive.

Li Dawei then came out and said in a funny way,

"Oh dear, I can't accept this! The fruit and pastries look pretty good; they must have cost a lot of money."

Wu Mingcheng retorted with a smile,

"Li Dawei, get out of here, or you won't be taking it later?"

Li Dawei immediately said...

"Oh no, that won't do. Everyone else has one, so I have to have one too."

Wu Mingcheng then spoke up.

"Alright, we won't disturb your meal any longer. To save everyone's time, we've already divided up the fruit."

So everyone went to the cafeteria entrance and got a piece of fruit and a snack.

Ye Wei, standing at the back of the crowd, turned around and said to Cheng Hao,

"So, Director Cheng, do you know what Mingcheng has been up to?"

Cheng Hao couldn't help but smile.

"This kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve; he's got a lot of potential."

Wang Shouyi glanced at Xia Jie, who was distributing fruit and snacks, and instantly understood.

"Mingcheng is thinking about Xiaojie. He usually has good interpersonal relationships in the institute."

He's already done a great job in this regard, why would he need to go through all this trouble to expand his social circle?

He noticed that everyone was a little dissatisfied with Xia Jie, so he quickly stepped forward to ease the tension.

Cheng Hao nodded, having figured it out.

"I have to say, this kid's thinking is even more thorough than mine as his master's."

Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, and the other men probably don't pay much attention to these fruits.

But Ye Wei takes care of all the housework; grocery shopping and such are all her responsibilities.

She could tell at a glance that the fruit Wu Mingcheng bought wasn't cheap; she usually wouldn't buy it herself when she went to the supermarket, and there were even a few varieties she didn't recognize.

Ye Wei couldn't help but say,

"We're in luck with Xiaojie's food! These fruits aren't cheap; a box will easily cost several hundred yuan."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao said with some surprise,

"What? It's so expensive?"

Ye Wei glanced at him.

"Hmph, men, they obviously don't care about their families. Lots of fruit inside are imported."

I usually can't bear to buy them, and there are some varieties I don't even know the names of.

Cheng Hao couldn't help but chuckle as he said,

"Ah, I'm just really busy with work at the institute, how could I possibly have time for housework? But, I think this guy is quite well-off,"

Wang Shouyi also wanted to remind Wu Mingcheng about his extravagant spending, but he couldn't say anything in front of everyone.

Ye Wei said with a smile,

"Alright, I'll go see if there's any for me as the instructor. I also want to try this imported fruit and see what's different about it."

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng and Xia Jie were distributing fruit and snacks to everyone.

Wu Mingcheng picked up a box of fruit and snacks and handed it to Cao Jianjun in front of him.

"Officer Cao, here's a copy for you."

Cao Jianhua, not wanting to offend someone who was smiling, took the money and said stiffly,

"Thanks,"

"Next up are Chen Xincheng and Zhang Zhijie," Wu Mingcheng said with a smile.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhang, this is for you two,"

Zhang Zhijie isn't usually very interested in fruit, but he does know a bit about this dessert.

He picked up the pastry wrapped in brown paper and looked at it.

"Oh, not bad! This is from that old, well-known pastry shop in our city. These things aren't cheap; this small box of pastries must cost over a hundred yuan."

Wu Mingcheng said indifferently,

"We can't be careless when it comes to food for everyone, and it doesn't cost much,"

The poplar tree behind the crowd was someone from Beijing who wasn't very familiar with, but he knew the fruit must be expensive.

He asked Li Dawei, who was standing beside him.

Is that pastry shop famous?

Li Dawei said

"Of course it's famous. I've heard that this pastry shop has been around since the last century."

It was specially made for the Empress Dowager before, so tell me, isn't it delicious?

Upon hearing this, Yang Shu said with great interest,

"I wasn't interested at first, but now that you mention it, I'm tempted to try it."

After everyone had finished distributing the items, Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, Ye Wei, and the other two finally gathered around.

Wang Shouyi said with a smile.

"Why aren't there any seedlings left for us?"

Xia Jie saw them and spoke up.

"Chief, why did it take you so long to arrive?"

Cheng Hao shook his head. His little apprentice was nowhere near as good as Wu Mingcheng; he was too naive.

He explained,

"We are the leaders of the institute, how can we take things from our subordinates?"

Chapter 450 No Hope for Promotion

Wu Mingcheng then spoke from the side,

"Director, Chief Cheng, Instructor, don't worry, yours have been prepared. I'll put them in your offices later."

Instructor, wasn't your elderly relative hospitalized? I left you two copies as a token of my appreciation.

If I were to bring something specifically to visit the elderly, I'm afraid you'd kick me out, which wouldn't be good. So, I'm just passing on these gifts today."

Wang Shouyi pointed at him and couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"I have to say, you're really good at playing the game these days. I've never seen anyone pretend to borrow something and offer it up to someone else."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao also laughed.

"Hahahaha, instructor, please accept it. It's just a token of the children's affection."

Ye Wei nodded and said,

"Mingcheng, this time it was just a coincidence, so I'll accept it. But don't do it again, and don't give it to me again."

The group followed each other into the canteen. After getting their food, Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, Ye Wei, Zhang Zhijie, Chen Xincheng, and the other elderly men sat together.

Zhang Zhijie couldn't resist any longer, so he opened the pastry on the table and took a bite.

"I must say, this time-honored pastry shop is really delicious, the taste is authentic and beyond reproach. Director, would you like to try one? It's 837 yuan."
