Volume 1 Chapter 30 Work Adjustment of the Public Security Bureau Director

  Although Hou Jianjun felt that the treatment of deputy department should be solved in a few days, he was summoned to attend the bureau's leadership meeting. Before the meeting, Lu Zhong verbally conveyed the opinions of the county party committee and the municipal bureau, appointing Comrade Hou Jianjun as a member of the Party Committee of Guangning County Public Security Bureau, Deputy Secretary of Politics and Law, Deputy Director, and Head of the Criminal Investigation Division; and appointing Comrade Hong Tao as a member of the Party Committee of Guangning County Public Security Bureau and Director of Chengguan Police Station (Deputy Department level).

  Hou Jianjun and Hong Tao, who were hastily summoned to attend the meeting, were not mentally prepared and it took them a good while to come around, while in the conference room, some people smiled and congratulated them, others remained silent.

  One day an emperor, one day a minister, everyone understands that Lu Zhong will adjust the power structure of the bureau sooner or later, but no one expected it to come so soon. It seems that the report had already been submitted, and he set off with three fires as soon as he took office, both the county committee and the municipal bureau expressed their support.

  Next, Lu Zhong's personnel changes for the department heads and police station directors almost became a fait accompli, with no one expressing dissent. It would be foolish to go against the new director just after he took office, so even if they were unwilling, they could only listen, including Gao Zhi Kai.

  Director Wang Yuguo of the Bureau, who was attending the meeting, heard that his name was not in the personnel adjustment and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

  Actually, Lu Zhong only made some adjustments to the middle-level cadres for the vacant positions and newly established departments. Middle-level cadres are often like migrant workers, listening to whoever is in charge, unless the big boss clearly dislikes you and wants to take away your power and kick you out.

  Du Xiaohu, after all, did not go to the Fire Department, but was appointed as the director of the Nanying Police Station. The head of the Fire Department indeed delegated an old comrade, Zhang Dezong, the original deputy director of the office. The head of the Public Security Department promoted Sun Jie, the original deputy head of the Public Security Department.

  Finally, when it came to the candidate for the team leader of the traffic police brigade, Lu Zhong paused and asked: "Let's discuss it, is there a suitable candidate?"

  When you don't have a suitable candidate, it's time to delegate power and give others the opportunity to promote their own people close to them. Of course, who to promote in the end still depends on your own judgment after careful consideration.

  Ma Yuewu and Wang Yi each recommended a candidate, the party committee members discussed and were more inclined towards Ma Yuewu's recommendation, Wang Yi also expressed his agreement, in a harmonious atmosphere, the head of the traffic police team was decided.

  The next agenda was Gao Zhikai's report on the achievements of the "anti-pickpocketing" special campaign.

  Gao Zhikai's face was expressionless, holding a script and reading it out loud in a dry tone, the dull data making people drowsy.

  After De Zhikai finished his report, Lu Zhong nodded slightly, put down his teacup and said: "It seems that the results we have achieved are quite rich, but there is still a gap between them and the expectations of the municipal bureau!"

  "Everyone has seen the document issued by the municipal bureau yesterday, right?" Lu Zhong suddenly remembered something. "Hmm, it hasn't been passed down to the lower levels yet. Yu Guo, can you bring the document over for Jianjun and Lao Hong to take a look?"

  Wang Yuguo hurriedly got up and went out to fetch it.

  Lu Zhong continued: "I'll continue to say, comrades who haven't read the documents should go back and do their homework. The municipal bureau's opinion is that they highly appreciate the Qīng Lóng Bureau's mass defense and security concept, only by widely mobilizing the masses can we make it impossible for criminals to hide. Qīng Lóng Bureau has taken the lead again!"

  "My opinion is that the current police force is weak, and in our Guangning, the floating population is almost changing every month. Building a security joint defense team seems to be inevitable. The advanced experience of brother districts and counties, we not only need to learn from but also need to carry forward and glorify. Didn't Qinglong just establish a joint defense team in Chengguan Town? We can set it up not only in Chengguan, but also in Nanying Suo and Zhangtian'er Suo! This is not about being overly ambitious, after all, Qinglong is relatively closed off, whereas our Nanying and Zhangtian'er are coastal areas, a golden coast tourist destination. How many tourists came this summer? Everyone saw it, the pressure is huge! Next year, conservatively estimated, there will be at least three times as many tourists as this year. If we don't establish a joint defense team, how can we cope?"

  Lu Zhong picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, giving them time to digest and absorb.

  A crisp sound, Lu Zhong put down his teacup, cleared his throat, and slightly raised his voice: "However, I must say that the quality of our joint defense team members must be guaranteed. Every individual's information will be carefully reviewed by the Political Security Department, and we absolutely cannot allow any traitors to join our ranks!"

  "If any of the joint defense team members have problems, for example, they had a bad record before joining the joint defense and were considered rascals by the masses; then who introduced them to join, who wrote a note to send them in, you must take responsibility for me. If no one takes responsibility, the person in charge of the Political Protection Section will be held accountable! Who said that people are your responsibility to review?"

  "I can put it this way: if he was introduced by me, Lu Zhong, and he has committed a serious error, engaged in corrupt activities, then that is my responsibility as Lu Zhong. I will take the blame and resign! That is my military order!"

  Lu Zhong said it with conviction, and the rest of the team members nodded in agreement. In today's social climate, Lu Zhong setting up such a military order wasn't out of place at all.

  Lu Zhong turned his head to Wang Yuguo and said: "I just mentioned these, you and the comrades of the Secretariat and the Policy Research Office will study the specific details again, and then formally put them into writing, implement them in the document, and call it the Regulations on the Assessment of Joint Defense Team Members. Write down the point of pursuing relevant responsible persons."

  Wang Yuguo nodded in agreement, and Ma Yuewu smiled and said: "This is a good idea, our Guangning Bureau has taken the lead this time. I think even the Municipal Bureau will learn from us."

  Lu Zhong smiled slightly, Ma Yuewu, and somehow guessed his thoughts. Only, what he thought and what he himself thought, would still have an essential difference.

  ……

  After the meeting, Hou Jianjun and Hong Tao followed Lu Zhong back to his office.

  Hou Jianjun was sharp-eyed and spotted a textbook on "Algebra" on Lu Zhong's office desk at a glance.

  Lu Zhong noticed Hou Jianjun's gaze and smiled, saying: "I'm just about to attend night school, a primary school diploma will be useless in the future. I advise you all to learn some culture too, reading more books is always good. The times are different now, if you fall behind, you'll get beaten."

  Hong Tao nodded silently, he regarded Lu Zhong as his spiritual idol, and every word of Lu Zhong was remembered in his heart. He also made up his mind secretly that after returning home, he would read several more books and strive to get a junior college diploma.

  Hou Jianjun smiled and said: "Following the director, we won't fall behind." In his heart, he thought more, Gao Zhikai, if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

  Hou Jianjun had gone to fawn on Gao Zhikai the other day and had been subjected to some humiliation. When he thought of Gao Zhikai's expression when they shook hands, which looked like he was suffering from a bad case of indigestion as if he had eaten a fly, Hou Jianjun felt a thrill of secret delight in his heart.

  It's no wonder that Gao Zhikai felt uncomfortable, as if he had eaten dog feces. Originally, he was eager to fawn on him, but he would often ignore him. But in the blink of an eye, they became equals, and even the work he was in charge of became more important than what Gao Zhikai was responsible for.

  Hou Jianjun thought about it more and more, feeling secretly pleased. He glanced at Lu Zhong and thought to himself that Gao Zhi Kai's days were numbered, but with Lu Ju, their good days had just begun.
