I can travel back and forth in 1986

Chapter 89 A Guest Arrives

Yingcheng County Public Security Bureau, second-floor conference room.

There were more than a dozen people inside. Apart from Chen Zhenshan from the county bureau, Wang from the Chengguan police station, Zhou Weidong from the criminal investigation team, and Lu Ya, Zhang Beichuan knew them.

He was meeting all the other people for the first time.

"Comrade Zhang Beichuan is here, please have a seat." A deputy director who was presiding over the meeting stood up and warmly invited him to sit in the empty seat next to Lu Ya.

As soon as Zhang Beichuan sat down, Lu Ya asked in a low voice.

"How's the wound?"

"Much better, just a little itchy," Zhang Beichuan replied softly, his gaze sweeping across the conference room.

Besides the people from the public security system, there was also a person wearing a white shirt who looked like a county leader, sitting in the main seat.

Seeing his curious gaze, Lu Ya whispered.

"The person in the middle is Deputy Secretary Tian of the County Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and the person next to Director Chen is the Deputy Director in charge of public security..."

The two spoke in hushed tones, and the meeting officially began.

"Today's meeting is mainly to internally commend comrades Zhang Beichuan and Lu Ya for their heroic performance in the arrest of Huang Zhenjiang..."

Chen Zhenshan got straight to the point, his voice steady and powerful. His gaze fell on Zhang Beichuan and Lu Ya, then turned to Tian Zhiyuan.

"Next, please let Secretary Tian read out the commendation decision."

Tian Zhiyuan smiled and glanced at Zhang Beichuan and Lu Ya, then praised them highly again in front of everyone before speaking.

"...After extensive research, it was decided that Comrade Lu Ya would be awarded a second-class merit, and the Provincial Public Security Department and the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Department would recommend her for the annual national second-class hero and model title of the public security system."

The meeting room erupted in enthusiastic applause, and many people cast envious glances.

The second-class merit award was already significant enough, but the province also added an opportunity for him to be named a second-class national hero and model of public security.

If the application is approved, the promotion speed will be comparable to riding a rocket!

Seeing everyone staring at her, Lu Ya became nervous, eagerly awaiting Tian Zhiyuan's next words.

"In addition, based on the research and decision of the Municipal Bureau and various departments, Comrade Lu Ya has been transferred from a household registration police officer in Yingcheng County to the position of deputy head of the pre-trial section of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team."

The audience erupted in applause, but Lu Ya was dumbfounded. She glanced sideways at Chen Zhenshan, who was engrossed in pretending to be an ostrich.

A few days ago, the political work department of the bureau and Chen Zhenshan spoke with her privately to inquire about her intention to be transferred.

At the time, she made it very clear that she wanted to go to the front-line criminal police team that she had always longed for, and Chen Zhenshan agreed.

This morning, fearing something might go wrong, she specifically asked Chen Zhenshan, and was told that the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team had already agreed and that she could rest assured.

But only a few hours later, they changed their minds?

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable being stared at or guilty, Chen Zhenshan turned to look at Lu Ya, who had a bitter expression on her face, and lowered his head even further.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but that bastard Lu Dajiang called an hour ago, saying that as long as he dares to agree to let Lu Ya go to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Team.

Even if Lu Dajiang had to throw away his pride, he still had to make sure the municipal finance department thoroughly reviewed the funding application they had just submitted to see if there were any problems!

Isn't this Lu Dajiang bastard blatantly threatening them, making sure their bureau doesn't have a good life for the rest of the year?

What can he do?

But then he thought about Lu Ya, who, at least, would call his uncle "uncle" in private, putting him in a dilemma.

The young woman graduated from a proper police academy and wanted to make a name for herself in the criminal investigation team. What's wrong with that?

Between two evils, he chose the lesser one. He had to argue with Lu Dajiang on the phone before he finally managed to secure a position in the pre-trial department for Lu Ya.

Chen Zhenshan was too ashamed to face anyone anyway, so he could only mutter to himself.

"Girl, I've done my best. If you have to blame someone, blame your father, who's as stubborn and unyielding as a rock in the outhouse!"

Zhang Beichuan, standing to the side, was also curious as he watched Lu Ya's smile, which was more like a grimace.

From a regular police officer at the county bureau's household registration window to the deputy head of the city bureau's pre-trial section, this promotion is already considered very fast. Are you still not satisfied with this?

Tian Zhiyuan, who was in the main seat, naturally saw it, but he could only smile helplessly and continue to announce the decision.

"Comrade Zhang Beichuan, as an ordinary citizen, disregarded his personal safety and assisted the public security organs in subduing a vicious criminal... It has been decided to award him the honorary title of 'Active Individual for Righteousness and Courage' of Yingcheng County, and to give him a cash reward of two thousand yuan."

After the speeches, the awards ceremony began.

Lu Ya and Zhang Beichuan went on stage separately. She received a bright red certificate and a second-class merit medal from Tian Zhiyuan.

It's already been announced publicly, so what can you do if you're not satisfied?

However, Lu Ya also knew in her heart that, judging from Uncle Chen's guilty look, there was definitely no one else but Lu Dajiang who was up to his tricks again!

She gave a standard salute, and as she turned around, her gaze met Zhang Beichuan's for a moment as he came up on stage. She nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

When it was Zhang Beichuan's turn, Tian Zhiyuan handed him a thick envelope, gave him a certificate of honor, shook his hand firmly, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good job, young man!"

"Thank you, leader, it's my pleasure!" Zhang Beichuan said very politely.

After the ceremony, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Lu Ya was surrounded by many people from the Public Security Bureau, who congratulated her on her meritorious service and promotion.

Zhang Beichuan didn't join in the fun and turned to go back to Beichuan Department Store.

Wang, who was standing nearby, quickly followed after Zhang Beichuan left.

Lu Ya, who had originally planned to chat with Zhang Beichuan, found him nowhere to be seen after dealing with her colleagues and superiors at the bureau. She had no choice but to find another opportunity next time.

Now, she needs to find Chen Zhenshan to get to the bottom of things before deciding whether to confront Lu Dajiang!

Zhang Beichuan and Wang Suo, who came downstairs one after the other, both had cigarettes in their mouths and were chatting and laughing as they left the county bureau.

During his casual conversation with Wang, Zhang Beichuan learned that this "model citizen for bravery" was not just an honor, but more like a political halo.

Simply put, even the local police station will provide extra assistance.

From contract management to being a hero and a capable person, one can stand out from the competition.

"Comrade Beichuan, if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to the station and find me. I'll definitely try my best to help you!"

"Okay, thank you, Director Wang."

Wang, pushing his bicycle, nodded with a smile.

"Alright, I won't take up any more of your time. I know the situation at Beichuan Department Store. Go back and get busy."

"Well, goodbye, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Beichuan said politely, but he was thinking to himself.

I need Baojun to deliver two television sets to the police station and bureau over the next couple of days, under the pretext of promoting police-civilian unity, to enrich the leisure activities of the station and bureau.

In addition, if anyone from the county bureau or local office wants to buy a large item such as a television or electronic watch, they can be sold it at "cost price".

As for small items like lighters and flashlights, you can give them away if you can, and if you can't give them away, you can give them some "cost" as a gift.

As long as Beichuan Department Store continues to operate, it will inevitably have to deal with the local police and county bureau in the future. Being polite will make it easier for everyone to meet in the future.

What if there's a way to use it?

After the two parted ways, Zhang Beichuan went straight back to Beichuan Department Store.

As soon as he entered the store, he saw Liu Jianguo sitting on a stool, watching TV with great interest, and he was delighted.

"Director Liu, what brings you here?"

Liu Jianguo turned around abruptly, stood up quickly, and smiled enthusiastically. He glanced at the certificate of honor in his hand, curious but didn't ask.

"Comrade Zhang! You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages!"

"Something came up and I was held up." Zhang Beichuan smiled and led him towards the backyard. "It's too noisy here, let's talk in the backyard."
