Chapter 79: Liu Suo Takes Office
At noon, Yu Shaoyong, Cheng Bin, and Liu Li arrived at the office of Gao Qiang, the Party Secretary of Daxing Town. At this time, Pan Yongming, the town mayor, Li Qiyin, the deputy secretary of the town party committee, and Zhang Pinghu, the deputy mayor, were already seated in Gao Qiang's office, waiting to greet Yu Shaoyong and his entourage.
After everyone met, they first chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Qiang suggested going to the cafeteria to eat. Since Yu Shao Yong concurrently served as the county committee's standing committee member and secretary of the political and legal committee, he was arranged to sit in the upper seat during the seating arrangement, with Gao Qiang and others accompanying him on the side.
Among these people, Liu Li's official position was the lowest. After everyone finished setting the table, he should have been responsible for brewing tea and pouring water, but Liu Li didn't have that awareness. He found a spot closest to the heating pad, sat down, and didn't move again.
Seeing this situation, Gao Qiang asked the office director Duan Chao to come to the restaurant for dinner. Saying it was accompanying him for dinner, in fact, he was serving at the wine table, specifically responsible for serving dishes, pouring tea, and serving water.
Because it was noon, everyone didn't drink wine, but instead used tea as a substitute for wine. When lunch was halfway through, Yu Shao Yong looked at Liu Li and asked if he had the confidence to be a good director? Are there any difficulties in work that need to be solved?
Upon hearing this, Liu Li understood Yu Shao Yong's meaning. This was to let his own family make demands. Once he understood this point, Liu Li stood up and smiled: "I have confidence in being a good director, making the public security environment of the jurisdiction the best in the county."
We have ideals and ambitions, but there are also difficulties. Although I had not been in contact with the work of our town police station before, because the office location is close, so I still have some understanding of the situation of Daxing Town Police Station.
"In front of all the leaders today, I'm not afraid of you guys laughing at me. Regarding the several difficulties we are currently facing, I'd like to vent my frustrations and hope that the leadership can pay attention to them and help resolve them when they have time."
When Liu Li said this, Cheng Bin and Yu Shao Yong couldn't help but look at him with some surprise, especially Cheng Bin, who was sizing up Liu Li with a face full of unexpectedness, thinking: "Damn... didn't expect it, this kid's official tone is quite standard."
Liu Li said after finishing that scene, thought about what was lacking in the police station? Then smiled and looked at Gao Qiang and Pan Yongming: "The first difficulty is that our police station currently shares an office building with the Third Criminal Police Brigade. To say nothing of other things, even meetings are decided by drawing lots to determine the order, which is too inconvenient."
"At that time, the two departments shared an office building, which was also a temporary measure because there was no suitable place. Although work could still be carried out with difficulty, it was very inconvenient to handle cases. When ordinary people came to report cases, they would rush to the third squadron, so... shouldn't the town arrange a new office location for the third squadron?"
After hearing this, Gao Liang looked at Liu Li, then looked at Yu Shao Yong who was sitting in the front row with a smile, and then he turned his gaze to Town Head Pan Yongming: "Town Head Pan, remember what Director Liu just said about this issue, and solve it as soon as possible. Don't exceed three days."
"Earlier, both Cheng Dada and Li Shan came to me about this matter, but at that time, there really wasn't a suitable house in the town. Now that Director Liu has brought it up again, I'll make a statement: within three days, we will definitely help our comrades from the Third Brigade find a suitable office location."
After hearing Gao's strong statement, Liu Li continued: "Thank you, Secretary Gao, for your support. Apart from the office location, there is another small difficulty, which is funding. I hope the town can provide some support."
At this point, Liu Li only wanted a house or money. Gao Qiang rubbed his forehead in some pain, while Pan Yongming, constrained by Yu Shao-yong sitting at the top, could only express: "In the past, the town had undertaken to pay 1,000 yuan per month for the gasoline used by the police cars of the police station."
"Now that Director Liu feels it's difficult, the town will increase its support. In addition to the 1,000 yuan monthly gasoline expenses, we'll add another 1,000 yuan in expenses. This is the maximum level of support we can provide."
"Thank you, Comrade Gaoqiang and Comrade Yongming. I'm grateful for your support of our public security work. Let me offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Feeling a bit better, Yu Shaoyong spoke up to express his gratitude.
Liu Li originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and ask the town government for a few Jettas, but seeing Yu Shao Yong speak up, he had to put this idea on hold for the time being.
After finishing their working lunch, the crowd sat in Gao Qiang's office for a while. Everyone encouraged Liu Li for a bit, and seeing that it was almost 2 pm, Yu Shao Yong invited Gao Qiang and others to visit the Daxing Town Police Station. Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Yu Shao Yong was planning to head back.
Many people accompanied Shao Yong to the front of the town government's first row, Da Xing Town Police Station, and observed it inside and out. Actually, this was all just a formality, as the police station was not very big and there was nothing much to observe.
However, the crowd continued to pretend to be interested in the tour, praising the police station and the recent security environment. After the tour was almost over, Yu Shao Yong gave a few words of encouragement to the civilian police at the police station, and then he went back to the county bureau with Cheng Bin.
After Gao Yong left, Gao Qiang and others chatted for a few words, then they all went back. After everyone left, Liu Li looked at Zhang Shi in front of him: "Director, from now on, we brothers will go through thick and thin together. Let's call the brothers to the conference room and have a meeting first."
Zhang Shi never thought that Liu Li would become his superior, looking at the smiling Liu Li in front of him, Zhang Shi could only sigh that his official luck was not as good as others. After hearing Liu Li's instructions, Zhang Shi nodded and turned back to pass on the notice.
Daxing Town is about 21 kilometers away from the county seat, and it is one of the top three most populous towns in Hong County. The town has a total of 96 villages under its jurisdiction, with a permanent population of 860,000 people and a floating population of 1,300 people.
Due to the large population in the jurisdiction, the county bureau also allocated sufficient police force to the station. In addition to Director Liu Li, the Daxing Town Police Station has 6 formal civilian police officers: Instructor Zhang Shi, Deputy Director Lin Wanmu, Household Registration Officer Han Shanshan, and Security Civilian Police Officers Wang Jie, Shi Kai, and Wu Fei. There are also 5 auxiliary police officers: Tian Gang, Du Hao, Li Xiaotao, Ren Sheng, and Ma Zhipeng.
Upon entering the conference room, Liu Li sat in the middle seat at the conference table and looked at the dozen or so colleagues in front of him. He first gave a self-introduction, then asked everyone to briefly introduce themselves. After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Liu Li counted the number of people present and then turned to Zhang Shi beside him: "Isn't someone missing? Why didn't Deputy Director Lin come?"
The rest of the police officers in the conference room fell silent upon hearing this, and Liu Li couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
