Zhang Wen's name

Office of the Governor of Handong Province.

"Governor Zhang, we have solved the counterfeit money case perfectly. It's just that when we arrested Scarface Tiger, he confessed to something."

"Tongwei, just say what you have to say. Why are you hesitating? There's no one in Handong we're afraid to investigate. As long as we have evidence, we'll bring him to justice."

Qi Tongwei admired Zhang Wen's strong sense of justice and hatred for evil.

"That's right. Last time, Director Zhao arrested Scarface Tiger, right? During the interrogation, Scarface Tiger said that the underground casino belonged to a big shot in Jingzhou City."

Zhang Wen wanted to laugh when he heard this; there were some important figures in Jingzhou City, weren't there?

"Tongwei, do you have solid evidence? Could it be that he's just making things up?"

"We've now obtained some clues through those ledgers. We've discovered that the illicit money was laundered and transferred entirely to an overseas account. The account holder is the brother-in-law of Zhang Shuli, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Tongwei, give one copy of the documents to the procuratorate and another to Tian Guofu. We don't need to worry about the rest. If they can't resolve it, I'll step in."

"Okay, Governor Zhang. There's one more thing. Our Provincial Public Security Department's Executive Deputy Director is about to retire. I'd like to recommend Zhao Donglai."

Zhang Wen looked at Qi Tongwei with a smile on his face.

"Tongwei, you've really impressed me. I seem to remember Zhao Donglai used to be very defiant of your management."

"Governor Zhang, look how brilliant this case is. Without Zhao Donglai, we wouldn't have known that Wang Chunlin had donated so much money to the welfare home and school."

"Director Qi, I agree in principle. Please submit the report."

"Thank you, Governor Zhang."

Office of the Director of the Public Security Bureau.

"Donglai, come to my office."

"Yes, Director Qi, I'll be right there."

Ten minutes later.

"Director Qi, what brings you here?"

"Donglai, congratulations in advance. Governor Zhang has approved your appointment as Executive Vice Director."

Zhao Donglai was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Director Qi, from now on I'll be your soldier. I'll go wherever you tell me to go."

"Donglai, what do you mean by 'my soldiers'? We are all soldiers of the organization."

"Director Qi, I apologize. You know I really want to improve. Let me say something."

"Alright, Donglai, you still need to serve the people well in your new position. I still have work to do, so you can go back now if you don't have anything else to do."

"Thank you, Director Qi. I'll be going now."

On the way back, Zhao Donglai walked with a brisk pace.

................................................

three days later.

Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.

Organization Minister Wu Chunlin brought the appointment documents.

"Zhao Donglai is relieved of his post as Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau and appointed as Executive Deputy Director of the Handong Provincial Public Security Department."

"Thank you for the organization's trust. I will definitely work harder to serve the people in my new position."

"Congratulations, Director Zhao! You've taken a crucial step."

"Thank you, Minister Wu. This is all thanks to the organization's trust."

...................................................

Early the next morning.

Office of the Director of the Public Security Bureau of Lüzhou City.

"I've explained the degree; now I can give you instructions, right?"

Cheng Du was a little surprised to see Zhao Donglai arrive so early in the morning. He was even more surprised to see him wearing the police uniform of a deputy director.

"Hey Zhao Donglai, you've really changed a lot in just a few months. You've actually become the executive deputy director-general."

"Du Cheng, don't be so disrespectful. I'm your superior now."

"Deputy Director Zhao, what's the matter? Our Luzhou economy is good, but there's been a lot going on lately. If you don't have anything else, you can go back now."

"Degree, that's what I came to ask you. Can I give you instructions now?"

Cheng Du was speechless after hearing this. "You've got a really big temper. You still haven't forgotten after all this time."

"Yes, Director Zhao, what are your instructions?"

Seeing that Cheng Du had given in, Zhao Donglai stopped teasing him.

"Chengdu, I just came to see you. Did your wife bring you lunch today?"

Cheng Du looked nervous upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by that? What business is it of yours if my wife brings her own lunch?"

"Chengdu, if your wife brings lunch, bring me one too. I haven't had it in ages and I'm really craving it."

"Zhao Donglai, don't you have a cafeteria? My wife has to bring you food. How can you be so shameless? I should have stopped you from eating my food when you were hospitalized. Who knew you'd get addicted to it, coming to my house several times a month."

"Chengdu, your wife's cooking is really good. I also want to taste the flavor of home."

"Zhao Donglai, if you want to experience the feeling of home, you can find yourself a wife. You're the executive deputy director now, what kind of wife can't you find?"

"Why don't you introduce me to someone? You ruined my good time last time, you have to compensate me with a wife."

"Let me think about it. I'll ask my wife to save some for you and see if there's anything suitable."

"Then I'll take it seriously."
