Chapter 9 Onboarding
The police station is located in the south of the city. Qi Yu and Zheng Wenjie had been walking for less than twenty minutes when Zheng Wenjie saw a three-story red building not far away. If it weren't for the plaques with the words "Anqing County Police Station" hanging on both sides of the gate, it would not be much different from the surrounding townhouses.
Outside the police station, Lin Yi and Zheng Peng just stepped out of the door when they saw Qi Yu and someone coming towards them. Lin Yi put his hands on his chest and greeted them with a smile, "Chief Qi, good morning."
"Good morning, Chief Lin."
"Chief Qi, you're joking. Look, what's so good about me? It's almost winter, and I've been begging everyone for help to give some benefits to my brothers. Now, Chief Qi has just come to work, and I have to run around to build relationships. When will Chief Qi be able to do something for my brothers?" Lin Yi said with a wry smile.
Qi Yu didn't care about this, instead she put her arm around Zheng Wenjie's shoulder and said, "Introduce me to Chief Lin. This is a new colleague. He's just 18 years old. He's my relative."
"Oh, Chief Qi has brought his family to the police station. He is worthy of being Chief Qi from the provincial capital, a cultured man~" Zheng Peng, who was following Lin Yi, shouted in a weird tone.
"Yes, Chief Zheng is my senior, so we should learn from him. It seems that Officer Zheng has not been the chief for more than a month." Chyi Yu retorted
Lin Yi patted Zheng Peng, who looked constipated, and sneered, "Chief Qi still has a lot to learn, so take your time."
After saying that, he pulled the policeman next to him and left the police station.
"The one who said the weird thing just now is called Zheng Peng. My current position as section chief was originally his." Qi Yu said.
"These two are locals. They grew up together. Lin Yi is the son of the county magistrate. Zheng Peng is illiterate and a ruffian. He relied on this young master Lin to become a section chief for two years."
"Mr. Lin is okay. Although he is not a good person, he still has some humanity. Zheng Peng is a brainless person who only likes to bully others."
"Let's go, there are still some problems inside." After saying that, he walked into the police station immediately.
The first floor was a spacious office. Zheng Wenjie looked around and saw a dozen policemen in a mess. Only one tall policeman was sitting at the innermost table, writing something.
The police around lowered their voices when they saw Qi Yu coming in, but they still ignored her and went about their own business without anyone saying hello.
Qi Yu didn't care at all. As if it was nothing new, she took Zheng Wenjie to the policeman who was writing the documents and said, "Liu Ce, this is a new colleague named Yang Hua. Please fill out two personnel files for him. Keep one for your archives and give the other to me."
Liu Ce looked at Zheng Wenjie expressionlessly and said to Qi Yu, "Chief Qi, there are no blank files for the time being. I will go get them for you after I report to Chief Lin."
"Okay, the files and equipment must be complete today, and the new colleague will be transferred to the provincial capital to support the Provincial Police Department tomorrow." After making things clear, Qi Yu took Zheng Wenjie to the second floor and entered an independent office.
"Xiaohua, see? I am a mascot in this police station." Laughing at herself, Qi Yu pointed to the sofa and motioned Zheng Wenjie to sit down.
Zheng Wenjie asked curiously: "Teacher Qi, you are also the section chief, but no police officer listens to you?"
Qi Yu said with a smile: "Why not? Aren't you now my general?"
Zheng Wenjie sighed in his heart, this Teacher Qi is really bold, an official can still laugh when being sidelined by a small soldier.
"You, don't worry about it yet. You're going to the provincial capital tomorrow. I have a few words to tell you." Qi Yu continued, no longer joking, "When you get to the provincial capital, take your certificate and report to the Provincial Police Department. Find the head of the security department, Wu Qi."
"Is he one of our own?"
"Yes, he also specifically notified me of this mission and asked me to send someone to do it."
"Teacher Qi, I understand."
Qi Yu tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly: "If he assigns you any other tasks, you must refuse!"
"Teacher Qi, what are you worried about?" Qi Qin stopped his finger and raised his head slightly: "Although he is one of us, I just feel that his words were too vague when he contacted me."
Zheng Wenjie asked curiously: "Then why didn't you refuse at that time?"
"It's hard to refuse. This mission is too simple. After all, it's just to escort a group of people from the current safe place to a safer place. There will be a steam train along the way. It will only take four or five days."
"It's also because the mission was too simple. When he contacted me, he said he would send someone to take credit. I felt that this person was a little unreliable. We were not related, and we had never met. How could he show me kindness?"
"Teacher Qi, I understand." Zheng Wenjie didn't think much about this question. No one would be afraid of him. If he didn't scare people, they should be thankful.
"After I finish dealing with your business, go back and have a good rest to recharge your energy." Qi Yu looked at the fearless Zheng Wenjie and felt quite satisfied. She realized that now he doesn't talk much, can think, and is not afraid of things. After gaining more experience, he should be able to stand on his own.
"Teacher Qi, can I ask you a question?" Zheng Wenjie was indeed a little too curious. He could tell him directly how Qi Yu, the former chief of the underground intelligence station, could be sidelined by the police and did not even have anyone to give orders to.
"You want to ask questions about the police station, right?" Qi Yu waved her hand. "There is nothing you can't ask. I worked at the intelligence station for so many years, and I was nervous every day. Now that I'm a police officer, it's time to relax, right?"
"Teacher Qi, you are making fun of me again." Zheng Wenjie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was indeed pleasant to get along with Qi Yu. They didn't feel like superiors or subordinates, but rather like friends.
"Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you." Qi Yu cleared his throat and said, "Because, I'm waiting for the appointment of the director to solve the problem once and for all."
Zheng Wenjie is a little confused
"Teacher Qi, are you teasing me again?"
"I'm telling you the truth!"
"Really?"
“Real money is so real.”
"Oh"
Seeing Zheng Wenjie saying "oh" and not saying anything, Qi Yu asked with a smile: "Don't you want to ask? How can I be promoted to director if you don't ask me?"
Zheng Wenjie shook his head
"You have your reasons. I can't learn to endure a group of people like this."
Stopping joking with Zheng Wenjie, Qi Yu rummaged through the cabinet behind her, took out a few newspapers and handed them to Zheng Wenjie.
"Aren't you curious about martial arts? This is a newspaper from two years ago. It talks about the Guangdong-Guangxi Martial Arts Association."
Zheng Wenjie quickly took the newspaper. Who hasn’t had a martial arts dream?
After looking for a while, he found that he had never heard of Shaolin boxing, seven-star boxing, or four-round boxing. However, the content on the main page made Zheng Wenjie a little excited.
The head of Bagua, Gong Yutian, went south to hold a general meeting and retired from the martial arts world! He passed the throne to Ip Man, the top martial arts master in Foshan!
Wing Chun! Ip Man! These are names that I am familiar with.
Although he is very strong, he has no fighting skills. If he learns martial arts, it will definitely be an example of one plus one being greater than three.
