Chapter 90: Swarms of Part-time Police Officers Come to Defect

  Liu Li thought for a moment and then said with a slap of his hand: "According to the municipal bureau's standards, give Xiao Tian and the other four people a raise of 1,300 yuan each."

  "Liu Suo Yingming ah." As soon as Liu Li's voice fell, Tian Gang, Li Xiaotao and five other auxiliary police officers all stood up excitedly, jumping high to praise Liu Li.

  At this time, Lin Wanmu looked at Liu Li with some hesitation: "Liu Suo, isn't this not so good? The salary for the auxiliary police is uniformly negotiated by all the police stations. If we raise our salaries here, other police stations might have opinions."

  "Besides, isn't your salary a bit too high? The county bureau only allocates 5,000 yuan for joint defense funds per month, and even if we give it all to Xiao Tian and the others without leaving a single cent, each of them would still be short 800 yuan. Where is this money going to come from?"

  Lin Wanmu had just finished asking the question when he felt a surge of murderous aura, like five solid entities, rushing towards him. Even as the deputy director, he felt somewhat overwhelmed. He looked up at Tian Gang and the others with a smile: "You guys shouldn't do this... it's not good... really not good..."

  Liu Li heard Lin Wanmu's concerns and thought for a moment before smiling: "Hehe... this is easy to handle, when you go to the county bureau finance department to collect the money, just report four more names and say that our police station has recruited four more auxiliary police officers, then that sum of money will be taken care of."

  "Liu Suo, this is embezzlement! If the county bureau finds out, not only will they not allocate extra funds, but they'll also deduct the previous ones." Lin Wanmu continued to persuade.

  "As long as you don't leak the secret, the county bureau won't know about it. When the county bureau's finance department comes to verify, we can temporarily borrow four idle officials from the town government to pretend to be auxiliary police officers."

  At this point, Liu Li took back the 5,000 yuan in front of Lin Wanmu and looked at everyone: "Brothers, these 5,000 yuan are rewards from the town government to our police station. I originally wanted to put this money on account.

  But after hearing about the salaries of Xiao Tian and his four colleagues, I changed my mind. They are all brothers who work together day and night, and although they do this job to avoid being too tired, their efforts are no less than ours.

  Our work is stable, but Xiao Tian and others only have a meager salary of 500 yuan per month. If they want to earn more by taking on case commissions, they have to work extremely hard to participate in various case handling, not to mention offending people, just the sweat they put out is particularly difficult.

  "Alright, today I'll consider these 5,000 yuan as a reward for the younger brothers in the office, 1,000 yuan each. It's not a lot of money, just a small token of our goodwill as seniors. Does anyone have any objections?"

  "Clap, clap, clap..." After Liu Li's words fell, the conference room erupted in applause. Zhang Shi and several others laughed and said: "Liu is considerate of his subordinates, and also gave us a few people a good reputation for nothing, we naturally have no opinion."

  When Liu Li announced that he would be giving several of them a raise and a gold reward, Tian Gang and the others were all excited and gave Liu Li a salute: "Boss Liu, thank you. We don't know how to express our gratitude, we...we promise to work hard from now on."

  "I think you've said enough, haha... just do your job well and don't think too much about other things. Alright, don't stand around, sit down." After that, Liu Li distributed the 5,000 yuan in cash to Tian Gang and others, and then urged Zhang Shi and Lin Wanmu to speed up their work. Finally, seeing that it was getting late, he announced the end of the meeting.

  The next day, as soon as he went to work, Lin Wanmu came to find Liu Li: "Liu Suo, didn't you say that you would raise wages with Xiao Tian and a few others yesterday? So when I came to work today, I took a walk around the county bureau's finance department.

  I originally wanted to pick up the joint defense fee for last month, and at the same time report to Director Huang of the finance department about the addition of four auxiliary police officers in our unit, hoping that he would report this matter upwards so that the expenses could be approved next month.

  But after Director Huang heard my report, not only did he not register the addition of four auxiliary police officers, but also didn't approve last month's joint defense expenses, saying that the finance department temporarily had no money. Do you think the finance department doesn't want to give our station additional funding?

  "Of course, who wants to spend more money? Since the finance department doesn't have money for now, just wait a bit, there are still over ten days until the end of the month. At that time, we can get last month's expenses and this month's joint defense fees together."

  Liu Li thought for a moment: "I already said yesterday that the salary would be issued today. Since that's the case, Deputy Director Lin, you can withdraw 9,000 yuan from our department's account and give it to Xiao Tian and the others. When the financial department's funds are replenished at the end of the month, you can make up for the shortfall."

  Liu Li had just asked Lin Wanmu to distribute the wages of Tian Gang and others, but something went wrong. After receiving their new wages, auxiliary police officers Du Hao and Ren Sheng posted about their wage increases in their chat group, along with a few photos.

  As the saying goes, dragons have dragon roads and tigers have tiger paths. Everyone has their own social circle. For convenient communication and exchange, many departments in the ancient Hong County Public Security Bureau have built their own chat groups. Those auxiliary police officers also have a chat group, with members from various police stations' auxiliary police forces.

  When Du Hao and Ren Sheng's message was posted in the chat group, it immediately triggered a thousand-layer wave. All online auxiliary police officers asked about the authenticity of the news, while those who were not online also rushed to ask about the truth after hearing the news.

  Du Hao and the two of them were grateful to Liu Li in their hearts, wanting to take the opportunity to help Liu Li spread his reputation. So they not only told about Liu Li's salary increase and bonus, but also said Lin Wanmu's words one by one.

  After the crowd confirmed that the news was true, those auxiliary police officers suddenly blew up and went to find their superiors, demanding a salary increase, which must be increased to 1,800 yuan per month, just like the Daxing Town Police Station.

  Some auxiliary police officers, impatient and unable to wait for the director's response, packed their bags and went directly to the Daxing Town Police Station, saying they were going there to work. After this news spread, the remaining auxiliary police officers became restless and also took their bedding, hailing cars to rush to the Daxing Town Police Station, each claiming they wanted to jump ship.

  The directors of various police stations suddenly found that there were fewer people in their own stations. The auxiliary police officers who were responsible for being on duty every day were nowhere to be seen, and some beds didn't even have quilts on them.

  When the director of the police station called the auxiliary police who were full of doubts, asking them where they were, they were told by the other party that they had jumped ship and were now working at the Daxing Police Station.

  After hanging up the phone, these directors' heads didn't turn around for a while. When they came back to their senses and asked the formal police officers in the office about the reason, one by one they got angry and jumped up. Then, the directors of each police station angrily called Liu Li and asked him what he meant.

  After receiving those inquiring phone calls, Liu Li also felt like crying but had no tears. Seeing nearly a hundred auxiliary police officers lined up in formation at the entrance of the police station, he suddenly felt a severe headache.
