The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Over the weekend, Chen Shi took gifts to the county town. Giving gifts to leaders is an art; you can't just send them to their homes unless your relationship with them has reached that level.

You absolutely cannot give it to the office. That would let everyone know that you're giving a gift to your boss, and even if the boss wants to accept it, they can't.

When Chen Shi arrived in the county town, he first called Huang Ming.

The call was answered quickly.

"Chen Suo"

"Secretary Huang, I came to the county town today on business and wanted to report to County Magistrate Liu. Is he in the county town this weekend?"

"Yes, I'll report to him."

"Okay, thank you, Secretary Huang."

At this time, Liu Youguang was playing golf at the resort. It was a rare weekend when he had nothing to do, so he relaxed and stretched his muscles.

Huang Ming walked up to Liu Youguang and said, "County Chief Liu, Chief Chen has come to the county town. He said he wants to report to you on his work."

"Let him come and play golf with me."

"it is good"

Huang Ming called Chen Shi back and asked him to come to the villa.

Chen Shi drove to the resort and saw Liu Youguang playing golf in the distance.

Chen Shi had never played golf. He was a meticulous person and always made sure to know what his superiors were interested in.

He learned the theory of golf online, but he had no practical experience.

He was confident in himself and could learn anything quickly. Today, he wanted to show Liu Youguang his skills.

He jogged over, stood before Liu Youguang, and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Liu."

Liu Youguang called out, "Xiao Chen, come play golf with me."

"I didn't fight Liu County."

"It's very simple, you can learn it quickly." Liu Youguang demonstrated once and handed the club to Chen Shi.

With his mind full of theories, Chen Shi chuckled as he took the club and, following Liu Youguang's demonstration, hit the ball.

Liu Youguang exclaimed, "Very good, you've got it right away! And your posture is even quite standard."

Chen Shi practiced four or five times in a row, combining theory with practice, and finally got the hang of it.

Liu Youguang was very satisfied with Chen Shi's performance. "The young man is good. It's good to be young. He can learn anything quickly."

Guan Hui, the director of the Finance Bureau, jogged over. He had also asked Huang Ming about Liu Youguang's golf game today, and rushed over immediately.

"Liu County Magistrate, what a coincidence, you're playing golf here too."

"Director Guan, you've come at the right time. Let's fight together."

Chen Shi quickly put down his golf club and greeted him, "Hello, Director Guan, I'm Chen Shi from Fushan Town Police Station."

Guan Hui wasn't familiar with Chen Shi, but he had heard of him. The fact that Chen Shi could play ball with Liu Youguang suggested that their relationship was unusual. It seemed that the rumors outside were true; Chen Shi was someone Liu Youguang appreciated.

"Director Chen," Guan Hui smiled and nodded.

The four of them started playing golf. Huang Ming, who was always by Liu Youguang's side, knew all about his hobbies. He was very good at golf and had trained a lot in private.

You're still a bit behind Liu Youguang. You're just a secretary, yet you fight better than your boss. Do you even want to stay in this job?

Chen Shi played the worst. It was his first time playing, but he had already improved very quickly. He also wanted to train privately, but the conditions in Fushan Town were limited. There were no decent golf courses, so where could he find a golf course to train on?

Liu Youguang had a great time playing. After six o'clock, he finished and went to the resort for dinner.

The four men toasted and drank, and Liu Youguang enjoyed himself immensely. After a hearty meal and drinks, they played ball for several hours. Liu Youguang was tired and wanted to go back to rest.

Several people saw Liu Youguang off to his car. Chen Shi originally wanted to take the gifts to Liu Youguang's car, but it was inconvenient with Guan Hui there.

Huang Ming sat in the passenger seat and drove Liu Youguang back, while Chen Shi followed in the car.

He gave the driver, Xiao Liu, a red envelope in advance, telling him not to drive too fast and to follow behind so that he could find a suitable opportunity to deliver the gift.

Driver Xiao Liu was halfway there when he suddenly stopped on the side of the road where there were no surveillance cameras.

"Liu County Magistrate, there's an unusual noise coming from the car. I'll go check it out."

"I'll take it to get it repaired tomorrow to make sure there are no problems."

"Yes"

As soon as driver Xiao Liu got out of the car, Chen Shi parked the car behind him and quickly got out.

"Did the car break down?"

"No, there's a strange noise. Let me check it out."

Chen Shi stepped forward, took a look, and came to the car window where Liu Xian was sitting.

"Liu County, I was passing by when I saw the car parked here, so I stopped to take a look."

"Xiao Chen, where are you going?"

Chen Shi was waiting for this sentence: "County Chief Liu, I have prepared two boxes of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to deliver to your home, but I am afraid of disturbing your rest, so I will put the gifts in the car."

After Chen Shi finished speaking, before Liu Youguang could say anything, he quickly went to the trunk, took out two gift boxes, and put them in the trunk of Liu Youguang's car.

Liu Youguang said with a smile, "No need to send gifts, the thought is enough."

Chen Shi said with a smile, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Wishing everyone a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, Liu County."

"This will not be repeated."

Chen Shi felt pleased to have given away the gift; he didn't accept gifts from just anyone.

Driver Xiao Liu checked the car and found no problems, so he got back in and continued driving.

Chen Shi smiled broadly and said, "County Chief Liu, take care."

He followed in his car until they arrived at Liu Youguang's place. The car stopped, and Huang Ming got out.

Liu Youguang's car drove into the county government compound, into the family housing area.

Chen Shi drove the car to Huang Ming's side and stopped, then quickly got out and opened the car door.

"Secretary Huang, I'll take you home."

"Director Chen, I wouldn't dare trouble you. A car is here to pick me up."

A car pulled up and stopped. A young man got out. Chen Shi recognized him from the front door of the small courtyard. He had also picked up Huang Ming last time. He was Xu Mo from the General Affairs Section of the County Government Office.

Xu Mo nodded and greeted Chen Shi, but he didn't recognize Chen Shi, and opened the car door.

"Secretary Huang, I'll take you home."

Huang Ming smiled and said, "Director Chen, I'm leaving now. You should go back too and get some rest."

"Secretary Huang, I had prepared a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for you to send to your home, but I'll put it in your car now so you can take it back with you."

Chen Shi took two gift boxes from the trunk and put them into Xu Mo's car.

"Director Chen, you're too kind." Huang Ming gave Xu Mo a look, and Xu Mo understood, taking two gift boxes out of the trunk.

"Director Chen, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift I prepared for you."

Chen Shi quickly stepped forward to receive it: "Thank you, Secretary Huang."

"Then I'll go first," Huang Ming waved goodbye.

Chen Shi put the gifts in the car and went to find Xu Ping'an.

Arriving at Xu Ping'an's door, I called him.

"Ping An, are you home?"

"Are you in the county town?"

"I'm right outside your door, is that convenient?"

"It's convenient, I'm at home, come up."

Chen Shi got out of the car and carried two boxes of gifts upstairs.

Xu Ping'an stood at the door waiting: "Old classmate, what are you doing here? You even brought me a gift."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, wishing you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance."

"You've come all this way, and even brought gifts. I'll take two boxes of good wine back with me later."

"I've taken quite a bit of your wine, so I should give you a couple of boxes."

Xu Pingan lives in a one-bedroom apartment, which is 50 square meters and he lives alone.

Chen Shi and Xu Ping'an were much more casual with each other; only when their relationship was established could they come to each other's homes.

Xu Pingan asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Cola"

Xu Pingan took a bottle of cola and placed it in front of Chen Shi.

Chen Shi took a sip of cola and joked, "Ping An, it's so boring being alone. Find someone to date. Winter is coming, so you can keep the blankets warm."

"Women are tigers, be careful."

Chen Shi couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You wouldn't be that kind of person, would you? You're so disgusted with women."

"Screw you, I'm a normal person."
