After I Sat At The Wrong Table For My Blind Date, The Crazy Female Lead Kidnapped Me - Chapter 45
Chapter 45: No One Can Make Me Leave
Xiao Yu didn’t seek glory.
Being a police officer wasn’t about climbing the ranks or getting rich.
Wang Delong was caught by him, but it was Guo Qiang who spotted him.
If Guo Qiang hadn’t noticed something off while driving, they might have missed it.
The main credit should go to Guo Qiang, and Xiao Yu would just take a share. The whole team would benefit.
Perfect!
“Brother, thanks!”
Guo Qiang, with his head wrapped in bandages, looked at Xiao Yu excitedly.
Did he not realize what happened today?
Xiao Yu took down eight men, while Guo Qiang couldn’t even catch one and got knocked out.
It was clear that Xiao Yu was giving him the credit!
“We’re in the same team, and besides, you’re my mentor.” Xiao Yu joked.
A saint? Dropped a relic?
None of that!
He had been in the spotlight a bit too much recently; it wasn’t a good thing.
Doing this was to show his colleagues that he didn’t take all the credit.
Everyone would share the merit.
You’re good, I’m good, everyone’s good—now that’s truly good!
When they returned to the team, everyone looked at Xiao Yu differently.
Who wouldn’t like such a colleague?
Even the captains and instructors looked at Xiao Yu with a sense of admiration.
But there was also some concern.
How long could this dragon stay in the shallow waters of the Criminal Investigation Brigade?
“Join the Party.”
In the captain’s office, Zhao Changsheng looked at Xiao Yu seriously.
“Uh!”
Xiao Yu scratched his head and grinned, “I already joined the Party at 19, during my time at the police academy, because of good performance and recommendations from several teachers. Now I’ve been a member for three years!”
Zhao Changsheng: …
Why join the Party?
Because it’s tied to your position.
For example, after Xiao Yu’s formal appointment, his position would be the most basic staff member.
Actually, that’s not really a position; the real position is a clerk (Grade 2 or 1).
A clerk is the lowest administrative position.
Higher up, there are assistant clerks (Deputy Section Chiefs), clerks (Section Chiefs), Deputy Bureau Chiefs (Deputy Directors), and Bureau Chiefs (Directors)…
When Xiao Yu goes to the provincial capital for the ceremony, he’ll receive a second-class merit.
This isn’t a secret.
With the merit, Xiao Yu’s rank would be promoted again.
As a Superintendent, he’d qualify for a clerk position.
Given Xiao Yu’s outstanding performance, solving major cases, it would definitely be approved if reported.
If he wasn’t a Party member.
Heh, forget about it.
Even as a Party member, many police officers might remain stuck at the staff level for a long time.
Only when their rank rises to Superintendent and they have enough merit can they move up to a clerk.
Without merit or experience, don’t even think about it.
This is why some police officers have high ranks but low positions.
Zhao Changsheng has been a police officer his whole life and is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
His position is only a Section Chief.
There’s an old saying: if you want to climb the career ladder, don’t be a cop.
Because it’s the hardest job for promotion.
Of course, if you keep solving major cases and earning merits, your promotions will skyrocket.
But here’s the problem: how many cases can you solve?
If a city has frequent major cases, do you know what the consequences would be?
You don’t want to know!
“Alright, when you return from the provincial capital, I’ll apply for a clerk position for you.”
Zhao Changsheng said with a smile, “For now, let’s make you a team leader in the brigade.”
A team leader is an internal position in an investigative unit, leading two or three team members.
When handling cases, team members work together to solve them.
“Thanks, Captain.” Xiao Yu expressed his gratitude.
In truth, he didn’t care much about positions.
If he wanted a career in politics, who would become a police officer, right?
“Actually, I was quite curious when you joined our brigade.”
Zhao Changsheng voiced his doubts, “Why didn’t you stay in the provincial department?”
He had checked Xiao Yu’s background.
He knew this young man was already ‘reserved’ by the provincial department during his time at the police academy.
But Xiao Yu chose not to go.
“If I told you it’s because our brigade is closer to home, would you believe me?”
Xiao Yu wasn’t joking; he was telling the truth.
“…”
Zhao Changsheng was silent for a moment, “Don’t joke around!”
“Actually…”
Xiao Yu knew he wouldn’t believe it. “My dream is to catch all the criminals in this world and make it a bit cleaner!”
That was also the truth!
Zhao Changsheng’s mouth twitched, and he was silent for a while, “I had that dream when I was young too!”
“Ha!” Xiao Yu laughed.
At that moment, the captain gave him the feeling of a comedian under a bridge.
“Forget it, the brigade won’t be able to keep you for long anyway.”
Zhao Changsheng sighed, “Before you leave, help the brigade as much as you can, make life easier for the brothers.”
Xiao Yu knew what Zhao Changsheng said was true.
It’s not something you can decide just because you want to stay.
But for the next year or two, he had no plans to leave the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
As long as he didn’t want to leave, no one could make him go!
