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

Chen Shi sat in his office for a while before getting up and leaving.

When Wang Yanhong saw him return, she asked in confusion, "Didn't you have something to do? Why are you back so early?"

"Just got back from the county town, nothing much happened."

"It's okay, Mengmeng invited you to dinner, why don't you go?"

"She invited me to dinner, it must be because of Zhang Hu. From now on, whenever she invites you to dinner, just say I have something to do."

Wang Yanhong looked at Chen Shi with admiration: "How did you know it was because of Zhang Hu?"

"That silly girl, do you even need to think about it?" Chen Shi asked. "Did she ask you to plead for Zhang Hu?"

Wang Yanhong nodded: "Mengmeng is my good friend, and Zhang Hu is your brother. Mengmeng said that he knows he was wrong. We transferred him back. Longtougou Village is too remote. He doesn't even have a place to live. Now he's hanging out with Ye Caihan and Niu Youde. He's unfamiliar with the place, and we can't find out who the cattle and horses thief is in a short time."

This thief is very cunning. Once he leaves, he doesn't commit any crimes. He's completely in the dark, and everyone looks like a thief to him.

We haven't had enough of the hardship yet; we need to endure it for a longer period, and it's best to make it unforgettable.

"This is a good thing. He's in Longtougou Village, so at least this thief won't dare to steal cattle and horses anymore."

Chen Shi changed his shoes and sat on the sofa: "Let's not talk about him anymore. Tell Xu Mengmeng that I didn't send him there. It was the security team's arrangement. Every police officer in the police station, except for the leaders, is responsible for a village."

"Put in a good job, catch the thief, and you can come back."

Wang Yanhong said "oh," indicating that she didn't want to get involved. Her boyfriend was now a leader at school, and the attitudes of the school leaders and teachers towards her were all different. She felt like she was surrounded by kind and friendly people all of a sudden.

Wang Yanhong went over and sat on Chen Shi's lap, and Chen Shi pulled her into his arms.

"I have good news for you."

"What good news?" Wang Yanhong asked impatiently.

"If you renew your lease for another month, don't bother. Move to the police station. I'll get a three-bedroom apartment for free; you can stay there as you please."

Wang Yanhong kissed Chen Shi on the cheek with a joyful expression: "I love you so much! You can save 300 yuan in rent every month, which is 3,600 yuan a year."

Chen Shi continued, "Water and electricity bills can also be reimbursed."

Wang Yanhong exclaimed, "That's great! We'll save at least a hundred yuan a month. I'm so excited just thinking about it!"

Chen Shi looked at Wang Yanhong, this little money-grubber, with a joyful expression. He was in a good mood. Being a leader was great; he could enjoy benefits that ordinary people couldn't.

Wang Yanhong said excitedly, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook it all for you tonight as a treat."

Chen Shi had been eating too much rich food these past few days, so he thought for a moment and decided to cook a bowl of noodles.

"That's it?" Wang Yanhong asked in surprise. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. You just ate a bowl of noodles."

"I like anything you make. You must be tired after a long day of classes, so just grab something to eat. We'll make something delicious for you on the weekend."

Wang Yanhong felt extremely happy to have such an understanding boyfriend. She must have saved the galaxy in her past life to have found such a good boyfriend in this life.

With a touched expression, she said, "I'm not tired. What would you like to eat? I'll go buy the groceries and cook it for you."

"I really just want to eat a bowl of noodles."

Wang Yanhong kissed Chen Shi and went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

The next morning, Chen Shi had just arrived at his office when he received a call from his second brother, Chen Xing.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

"Xiao Shi, your nephew's household registration has been resolved. The village chief even took the initiative to deliver the completed certificate to our home."

He said, "You've become the deputy director, but you didn't even tell us beforehand."

After taking office, Chen Shi was so busy with work that he forgot about this matter.

"The certificate is no longer needed. Send it back to him. We won't owe him a favor. I'll arrange for my nephew to register his household right now."

Chen Shi glanced at the calendar; it was March. He had promised his sister-in-law that he would register his nephew's household registration before March.

Chen Xing hung up the phone and said to his wife, Wang Xiufen, "Send the certificate back to the village head. Tell him the truth, he'll arrange for the child to be registered right now, so we won't owe the village head any favors."

Wang Xiufen said with dissatisfaction, "It's been so long since I got my household registration done, and it still hasn't been processed. The village head even brought me the certificate, and then he sent it back. If I still can't get it done, will he issue it again if I go back to him?"

Chen Yanshi, puffing on welding fumes, said, "If Xiao Shi says he can do it, he definitely can. We've never had a good relationship with the village chief, but we brought the certificate here on our own initiative because we're trying to curry favor with Xiao Shi now that he's a leader."

Hearing this, Wang Xiufen became even more dissatisfied.

"He became a leader, but his family didn't know, only outsiders did. What kind of situation is that?"

Chen Xing glared at Wang Xiufen: "Xiao Shi has just become a leader, so he should keep a low profile and not be too flamboyant."

Wang Xiufen was very dissatisfied with Chen Shi. What a piece of trash! The child is almost half a year old and the household registration is still not settled. If it weren't for her husband, he wouldn't be able to go to university and is now a leader. He doesn't take himself seriously at all.

"This is too low-key. So low-key that everyone else knows about it, but their own family is still kept in the dark."

She raised her voice: "He's already a leader, but he still hasn't gotten his residency permit. His child is almost six months old and hasn't had a single vaccination. He's not worried, but I am."

Chen Xing, ask him if he can do it. If he can't, we'll find someone else. Do you expect us to give him gifts?

Chen Yanshi tapped his pipe, he was also anxious about this matter. The child had not been registered, so he could not get vaccinated, and dragging it out was not a solution.

He said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxing, call your brother again and urge him to do it quickly."

It's impossible for Chen Xing to say he had no thoughts. His younger brother was at the police station, trying to get his household registration done. It seemed like it would be done in a day, but it just wouldn't be completed.

I was worried that my younger brother was in trouble, and that as a regular police officer, I might not be able to get anything done. But now that he's a deputy director, how could he possibly not be able to get his child registered?

Everyone else knows he's become a leader, but I don't. He has big ideas about this. Does he still consider me his older brother?

While Chen Shi was at home complaining about his son, Chen Shi also realized that it had taken too long to get his nephew registered.

Just as I was about to call Xu Linlin to my office, there was a knock on the office door.

Chen Shi called out, "Come in."

Xu Linlin walked in. This morning, she suddenly remembered that Chen Shi had contacted her before the Lunar New Year to help register his nephew, who had been born in violation of the one-child policy, for household registration.

Previously, Chen Shi was just an ordinary police officer, so I certainly wouldn't have taken any risks. But now it's different; he's a leader, so it's worth taking some risks.

Being Wang Jianming's mistress is not a long-term solution for her; she senses that he is currently willing but unable to continue.

She also wanted to advance her career. She learned from her cousin that Chen Shi had gained the county magistrate's favor and that his future career would only be higher than Wang Jianming's, not lower.

If you have the chance, you should try to curry favor with them. If they get transferred to the county as leaders someday, you can go to the county and become a section-level cadre yourself.
