This remark from Yang i was mostly teasing, but Luo Fei took it seriously when he heard it.
They’ve been dating for a while, yet it seems he hasn’t properly given her any gifts.
He said earnestly, "Alright, what do you want? I’ll buy it and give it to you."
Yang i was already used to his straightforward way of expressing himself.
"I was just joking, don’t take it seriously. Besides, I don’t particularly need anything. You might as well save the money... for our wedding."
Unexpectedly, this girl was thinking so far ahead, Luo Fei laughed, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."
"By the way, you guys caught the wanted criminal Wang Pingchuan earlier. He had a bounty, right? Has that reward co in yet?"
"It’s in. The provincial leaders handed the money over to Captain Zhao today, and he’ll probably distribute it once he’s done with his work."
Yang i nodded, "That’s good, you’ll probably get quite a lot then."
Luo Fei was noncommittal upon hearing this.
Back then, he chose to give up the chance to arrest Wang Pingchuan to track Yang Dawei.
Although Zhao Donglai later said he would be credited with the arrest, he is still unsure of how much he will receive.
However, he was the main contributor to the case, so the wages and bonuses will definitely be significant. Therefore, whether he gets a lot or a little of the bounty doesn’t matter much.
Returning to the office of the third team, he handed over the money to Wang Yong and the others imdiately.
Hearing that it was bonus money from their collective honor, while feeling happy, the four couldn’t help but inquire.
"Team leader, how much did teams one and two receive?"
"Our team got twenty thousand, while teams one and two each got ten thousand..."
Wang Yong burst into laughter, "No doubt, following the team leader is the best; we got twice as much as them!"
"Of course, since the team leader arrived, when haven’t our wages been higher than theirs..."
"I say, Wang Yong, your personal third prize got you five thousand, and along with the three thousand now, you’ve almost got ten thousand. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to just treat us to so barbecue?"
"What ten thousand, it’s still two thousand short... Anyway, there’s only barbecue, eat it or leave it. If you don’t want it, forget it!"
After chatting for a short while, they started banterously arguing again.
Luo Fei listened for a while, then returned to his seat to read a criminal investigation book.
anwhile, in the office.
"This ti, I’m being transferred, and the county wants to recomnd soone for my replacent. I recomnded Yang Su, and I just t Director Wu, who said it’s already decided."
After Zhao Donglai spoke, Yang Su seed visibly excited, while Zhang Fan wore a surprised expression with mixed emotions.
Even though he knew that discussing seniority and ability, it wasn’t possible for him to take the position of the detective team captain, when the decision was confird, he still felt sowhat disappointed.
Zhao Donglai obviously understood, which is why he chose to speak to them individually about this matter.
He patted Zhang Fan’s shoulder, "Zhang Fan, don’t have any thoughts about it."
"Actually, your performance over the years has been pretty good; it’s just that there’s only room for one person in this position, so I hope you understand."
"Captain Zhao, I understand, Old Yang’s achievents have always been above mine; he certainly deserves the captain position. Don’t worry, I won’t have any thoughts about it."
"That’s good."
Zhao Donglai nodded with satisfaction, "I’m relieved to hear that you understand."
"Furthermore, Directors Zheng and Wu have always emphasized that our police departnt promotes those with ability and demotes those without, so as long as you keep striving at work, you needn’t worry about promotional opportunities. Isn’t Luo Fei a good example of this?"
The two of them naturally nodded repeatedly.
"Also, the bounty from capturing Wang Pingchuan has co in, totaling one hundred thousand yuan, and I plan to distribute it based on contributions."
"Although Luo Fei didn’t participate in the arrest at that ti, without him, we wouldn’t have discovered the suspect, so I’ve decided to credit Luo Fei with part of the capture credit. You don’t mind, right?"
"Of course, we agreed on this issue before; we certainly have no objections."
"That’s right, I don’t have any objections either."
"Good, aside from our group of four’s capture, the third team also participated in identifying the suspect, which ultimately led to discovering the fugitive’s identity."
"So, my plan is for our group of four to get twenty thousand each, Wang Yong one thousand, and the remaining three mbers split another thousand among themselves. How does that sound?"
"I think that’s fair."
Only then did Zhao Donglai divide the ten thousand he received from Wang Wen’an.
Yang Su and the others held thick wads of cash, smiling happily.
"Okay, if you don’t have anything else to do, then go ahead and get busy. Oh, rember to call the third team mbers over."
"Okay, Captain Zhao."
Afterwards, Yang Su went to the third team’s office to notify them.
Once everyone arrived, Zhao Donglai didn’t waste words and handed them the money as planned.
The mbers were delighted upon receiving the money, especially Wang Yong, who found today’s bonuses alone be higher than his monthly salary.
After expressing their thanks, they left cheerfully with the money.
Luo Fei was at the end of the line, but suddenly stepped back.
"What’s wrong, Luo Fei? Is there anything else?"
"Captain Zhao, I didn’t participate in the capture back then; isn’t this money too much? How about you take back one thousand? Otherwise, I feel like I’m unworthy..."
Luo Fei hadn’t expected to get such a large share of the bounty; in his mind, the most he would get was one thousand.
Zhao Donglai thought he was about to say sothing else, "I gave it to you, so take it. This amount was decided after discussing with Zhang Fan and the others, so there’s no need for any emotional burden."
"Then... okay. Oh, Captain Zhao, there’s sothing I’d like to discuss with you."
"What is it? Go ahead."
"Can I recomnd Sun Jun beco the head of the third team? He has good ability and a stable personality; I think he can handle the position well."
Back then, if it weren’t for the unexpected ergence of Luo Fei, Sun Jun would have long been the third team’s head. Hearing this, Zhao Donglai nodded imdiately.
"Sure, I actually favor him too. I’ll call and apply with the higher-ups in a while."
"Great, I thank Captain Zhao on behalf of Sun Jun."
"Oh, Luo Fei, rember to prepare your handover report in advance; the transfer order may co as soon as the next couple of days, so you won’t be caught off guard."
"If there’s anything you don’t understand about the report, just ask or Yang Su."
"Alright."
...
At five o’clock in the afternoon.
Typically, everyone would disappear after work, but today they were all laughing and chatting, waiting in the hallway.
Zhao Donglai walked over, "So, have you decided what to eat?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally, Wang Lei from team one stepped forward as the representative.
"Captain Zhao, I heard there’s a new restaurant on Orchid Street with good private dishes, so why don’t we..." he said, rubbing his hands and chuckling.
Zhao Donglai understood imdiately, and waved his hand, "Alright, let’s eat at that place."
They imdiately cheered and headed out towards Orchid Street.
On the way, Luo Fei took the opportunity to call Wu Yan, informing her about the dinner gathering and that he wouldn’t be ho for dinner.
Wu Yan gave a few reminders and hung up.
When they arrived at the place, seeing the decor and environnt were decent, everyone decided it was good.
Inside, they booked a large private room and ordered a table full of dishes.
During the dinner, people raised glasses to toast Zhao Donglai and Luo Fei in celebration, not forgetting Yang Su either.
They all knew about Yang Su’s appointnt as the new captain, and naturally wanted to get on good terms with the new leader.
Before long, everyone had drunk quite a bit.
Wang Yong’s face turned red from drinking; he started pulling Luo Fei, expressing his unwillingness to see him leave.
"Team leader, I really don’t want you to leave; don’t ever forget your brother here..."
Beside him, Wang Lei bluntly interrupted, "To be honest, Wang Yong, are you sad about the team leader leaving, or sad about your team losing its performance once he goes?"
Not even flustered upon having his intentions exposed, Wang Yong shalessly replied, "You got to ask the question knowing the answer; the team leader equals performance, so of course I’m sad about both..."
