"Stinker, just give your mother a clove of garlic," Mother Tang playfully said with a pretend scowl on her face. Their family atmosphere was not so serious, often playing around like this, finding it quite amusing.
Everyone at the table burst into laughter at the mention of the garlic.
"Hahaha, Tangtang, you sly dog."
"Garlic is pretty delicious though."
"First the garlic, then the fish," Tang Qing grabbed a piece of fish and sent it over, laughing excitedly.
"That’s more like it."
The family was eating and laughing together, also took the opportunity to toast Qin Yugang’s recent promotion. They are very enthusiastic about their relative’s high-ranking official, most of the time what they want is not to take advantage of it, but a sense of security and confidence. At the same time, they also discussed the decoration issue. These are readily available houses, you don’t need to wait for half a year or a year to move in, they can start decoration as long as they want to.
Moving into bigger houses, both families were very excited. They were ready to spend money on decoration.
Now they have unprecedentedly large amounts of money in their pockets, this month’s earnings equated to their previous year’s income.
Speaking of decoration, Qin Yugang directly introduced a friend. With his relationship, it was definitely economical.
"Uncle, has your station completed this year’s investment attraction tasks?" Tang Qing suddenly asked.
Qin Yugang was stunned, and said, "Not yet, our Qingyan City Economic Development Zone police station still has an investment attraction task of 11 million RMB this year, but fortunately, it’s not like other departments. Some need to create foreign exchange, but we only need RMB."
"That’s good, you can let my uncle help you complete it, there should be no problem," Tang Qing nodded.
"What can he invest in?" Qin Yugang asked curiously.
"My uncle is planning to venture into the mainland jewelry market, right? He can invest in the Jewelry Processing Center. After all, there is a huge difference in tariffs between importing raw materials and finished products. It will be easier to have an acquaintance under you when he settles here. My uncle will definitely be very happy," Tang Qing explained. To give his uncle a boost in his career, Tang Kai’s processing center is not the only one. He also arranged for soldiers to act as merchants to invest and sponsor here. With this support, he hopes his uncle can quickly rise in his career.
"Alright then, I’ll contact him tomorrow to see if he has such a plan. We are all family, we don’t need to be so formal. If he has a plan, let’s not force it. 11 million RMB, although it is a bit difficult, but should not be a big problem, it’s only the beginning of the year after all," Qin Yugang nodded in agreement, hoping that Tang Kai could complete the station’s annual investment attraction task but not wanting to force Tang Kai.
Tang Qing immediately assured him, "Don’t worry, uncle. I’ve already called him before. He hasn’t decided on the location of the processing center yet. If you bring it up with him, it’s sure to work."
"Good, if it comes true, it will be a great relief for me," Qin Yugang said with a laugh. It was a ridiculous idea for the police station to attract investment, but he wouldn’t be so oblivious to discuss such things at the dinner table.
Qin Yugang’s mood immediately improved a lot.
However, what really made him happy was not this, but the ’battle results’ of the police station during this period.
Since he took over as the director of the police station in the Economic Development Zone, the case solving efficiency of the police station seemed to have suddenly improved. The number of cases solved in two weeks was not much less than the number solved in two months before, some of which were quite difficult major cases.
In the end, it was found that most of the clues to solving the cases during this period came from public reports. There was even a case of a bandit extremely evil and responsible for many murders who suddenly turned himself in. It seemed that he had suffered a great psychological trauma. He insisted that he was guilty and that the crime process was without any issues. He even actively provided evidence to prove his guilt, and was eager to go to prison.
However, this was just one case.
Quite a proportion was caused by the ’evidence’ of the culprits being placed at the door by the masses. The surveillance showed that it was a sanitation worker each time, always different people, who were asked to leave things at the door of the police station.
Initially, these sanitation workers were suspicious and reluctant, but after looking at some of the content, they became indignant and volunteered to help for free. They vowed to fight the lawbreakers to the end, and after the fact, they pleaded ignorance.
All of the above, of course, were strategies from the Command Room about the ’Qingyun’ plan. Public reports only accounted for a small part, and there were many other methods, such as being caught off guard, guidance in discourse, surrendering, and ’accidentally’ discovering previously well-hidden crime tools and evidence. Numerous methods were used.
To avoid making the traces too obvious.
Other places in Qingyan City have also been experiencing similar things one after another, but altogether they were only a little more than what was happening in the Economic Development Zone.
As a result, since taking office, Qin Yugang has been the object of praise at every city bureau meeting, with others asking him for tips and tricks. However, Qin Yugang was also in a state of confusion, not able to give any practical advice.
Everyone else could only feel envious.
As soon as the previous director left, Qin Yugang came upon this stroke of good fortune.
There were, naturally, those who were envious and bitter. However, among these people, none had the ability to push newly appointed Qin Yugang away from his post, or was brave enough to go after his position. This was a role given to him by provincial big shots; unless someone was promoted, no one dared to move against him, not even making a small fuss. It was not necessarily that they didn’t dare, just that directly targeting Qin Yugang on his recent appointment would have definitely been a slap in the face and a sign of dissatisfaction. Discontented with the decisions of provincial big shots? Such a person would certainly face punishment.
In leadership, even when you’re wrong, you’re right.
Those with ulterior motives could only wait for the right time.
Qin Yugang wasn’t foolish, neither was he full of pride. He continued living his fragile day-to-day life, as long as he didn’t make mistakes, promotion was in his near future.
...
After dinner, Tang Qing was sent back to his room.
Mother Tang was a little excited and could not sit still, she promptly started to tidy up the aftermath.
Tang Qing was dismissed as being in the way.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mother Tang did not ask Tang Qing to paint for her, assuming it would take a long time. She just had some tea after dinner and excused herself.
After a few people left, as expected, Qin Shiqi darted into his room. Seeing the stack of loose change on the table, she rushed over and grabbed a stack.
Tucked within was a hundred RMB note.
"Is this for me?" Qin Shiqi, grinning from ear to ear, pocketed the money.
She acted first and asked questions later.
"What do you think?" Tang Qing rolled his eyes, she pocketed the money before asking, knowing the answer before asking.
"Hehe, then I’ll forgive you. By the way, why can’t I ever find where you hide your hundred-dollar bills?" Qin Shiqi reached into Tang Qing’s clothes pockets and felt around, but found nothing.
"Pssh, it would be a problem if you could find them," Tang Qing shrugged and retorted.
"Why are your hundred-dollar bills always new? Haven’t you used up your new notes yet? In that case, bro, can I talk to you about something?" asked Qin Shiqi
"What?" Tang Qing asked in response.
"Can I exchange my old notes for your new ones? New money is comforting to look at," Qin Shiqi stared at him intently.
"How much do you need?" Tang Qing asked.
"Let me think, eight hundred, I have eight hundred in loose change," Qin Shiqi thought for a moment and said.
Tang Qing did not say anything, he just took out one thousand RMB under the mattress, counted eight notes and handed them over: "Here, you don’t need to give me any change. Keep it. Next time I won’t exchange, alright?"
"Really for me? Got it, gotta go." She finished her sentence and before Tang Qing could respond, she dashed out of the room like the wind, as if afraid Tang Qing would change his mind.
Tang Qing shook his head with a bitter smile, not bothered by her behavior. Luckily he was rich in this life, things were laid out evenly. In his past life, he didn’t have the guts. His personality was slightly weak then, he seldom provoked Qin Shiqi as he does now.
Back to business.
He closed the door, set up his easel, laid out the paper, Tang Qing prepared to draw the complete version of ’The Battlefield Struggle for Survival’ that he had thought of earlier.
A lone and helpless sharpshooter, gravely wounded and missing a leg, with dazed eyes and bruises on his lips, still covering for his retreating team. Among ruins, his shots took one enemy life after another. They all had wives and children, but stood on different battle lines. Every shot was loaded with deep regret and resolution, until loss of blood plucked away his 24-year-old life.
A painting without background is a painting without soul.
PS: Only have this much for today, just got home, relationship matters are so tiring, ugh.
