11:30 a.m.

Guan Feng and others rushed back to the Municipal Bureau.

As soon as they got off the car, Guan Feng called the group to head to the cafeteria.

"Eat first! We'll report on our work after we eat. People need food to survive!"

Everyone followed Guan Feng to the cafeteria.

As soon as Guan Feng entered the cafeteria, he noticed that everyone was looking at him in a rather unusual way.

Guan Feng turned to Gao Dacheng and asked, "Dacheng, do you feel like everyone's gazes are a little strange?"

Reminded by Guan Feng, Gao Dacheng looked at the crowd with a hint of eagerness and whispered, "Captain, something feels off. Could this be a trap?"

Guan Feng said, "What are you thinking? You must have heard that we received an honor? You're probably a little envious of everyone."

As they were talking.

His phone rang.

Guan Feng answered the call, and the other person said, "Xiao Guan, are you at the cafeteria?"

Guan Feng realized what was happening and laughed, "Team leader, you've planted a spy next to me, haven't you?"

Zhao Dong chuckled and said, "We've been waiting for you! Take the Third Squadron straight up to the second floor, we'll be waiting for you!"

Guan Feng nodded and said okay. Only after hanging up the phone did he realize that the second floor of the canteen was a small canteen that the leadership team would use to receive visiting guests.

He said with a strange expression, "The squad leader wants us to go up to the second floor. Everyone, follow me."

Everyone followed in surprise.

Upon entering the private room on the second floor, they discovered that not only was the branch captain present, but also a host of other leaders, including Director Yang, Director Chen, Director Huang, and the office director.

In addition, there were also the First Squadron of the Major Crimes Unit, the Hongcheng Squadron, and even Director Bai, who was sitting in the main seat.

These people didn't let a word of it slip beforehand.

It was clearly a surprise for themselves and the others.

Guan Feng said, "This is a huge surprise!"

Director Yang, sitting at the head of the table, smiled and said, "Xiao Guan, bring your people and sit down!"

Guan Feng looked at the main seat and said, "Are there any other tables? My brothers are all hungry, and I'm worried they won't get enough to eat if they sit with the leaders."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Director Yang smiled and pointed at Guan Feng, then said to Wu Hua, the office director, "Have the kitchen bring up a bowl of rice. Each member of the Third Squadron should take a bowl first. How can someone who works in criminal investigation not have enough to eat?"

Wu Hua smiled and nodded, then walked out of the private room.

Upon hearing this, Guan Feng gestured for everyone to sit down: "Why don't you sit down? Director Yang is treating everyone to rice; this is an honor that no one else can enjoy!"

Everyone took their seats.

Director Yang first spoke on behalf of the bureau, saying, "Xiao Guan, you've brought honor to the bureau this time and prevented it from falling into a passive position. Come on, let's all have a drink!"

Guan Feng quickly stood up and said, "Director, we salute you!"

He then asked everyone in the Third Squadron to stand up.

Everyone shared a drink with Director Yang.

Guan Feng drank tea instead of wine, briefly explained the situation in the hall, and then handed the collective first-class merit certificate to Director Yang.

Looking at the honor, Director Yang smiled and said, "This should be the last honor I receive from the Municipal Bureau! Considering that the Department has already given it once, I won't make a big fuss this time. I'll just present it here to everyone, since the First Squadron and Hongcheng Squadron are here too!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up.

Director Yang awarded this honor to Zhao Dong, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

He encouraged everyone, saying, "The honor is temporary, but I have seen everyone's hard work. I hope that you can take this honor as a starting point and continue to work hard. Whether I am here or not, your goal is to reach even greater heights!"

Everyone applauded upon hearing this.

Director Yang then offered everyone another toast, this time with tea instead of wine.

The meal, which also served as a celebration, lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

Director Yang shook hands with everyone involved in the case, then beckoned to Guan Feng and said, "Xiao Guan, come to my office."

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Guan Feng followed Director Yang away.

......

Half an hour later.

Guan Feng returned to the Third Squadron office.

People from the Hongcheng Squadron were also there.

Bai Ju, Zheng Yuandong, Wang Xun, and others are chatting with Liu Shengguo and Huang Lili.

Guan Feng walked in and said with a smile, "Is everyone having a good time?"

Huang Lili laughed and said, "Captain, we were just reminiscing about the past."

Guan Feng asked, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Director Bai laughed and said, "We were just chatting about the details of when you described the physical characteristics of the suspect when you solved your first serial case."

Zheng Yuandong said with emotion, "At the time, I was a little skeptical! But I didn't expect that the final result would be exactly the same. It was at that time that I knew that Guan Feng's future was limitless. I just didn't expect that in just over half a year, Guan Feng would have already left me behind. Now I should call him Captain Guan."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Guan Feng said, "Team Leader Zheng, no matter where we are or what position we hold in the future, Director Bai and you will always be my former leaders."

Both Director Bai and Zheng Yuandong felt a warmth in their hearts upon hearing these words.

Director Bai said, "Seeing that you, Shengguo, and Lili are all doing well, we won't chat any longer. We have things to do at the bureau, so let's get together again next time?"

Guan Feng checked the time and said, "Alright! I'll arrange a dinner in a couple of days. I still owe everyone a promotion banquet. Bai Juyi and Zheng Jia, you can come together. Wang Xun, you can bring Xiang Dong and the others too. Everyone should be free tonight."

"Okay!"

Wang Xun nodded with a smile.

Director Bai and Zheng Yuandong both nodded.

Guan Feng chatted with the others for a few more minutes before seeing Director Bai and the others downstairs.

Back in the office.

Guan Feng said, "Director Yang just called me over, and I also focused on discussing the team's personnel arrangements. I'm going to dedicate some of my time to the Major Crimes Unit, so the team plans to promote two deputy captains."
