The two of them hadn't even finished their meal! After the initial shock subsided and the taste returned to normal, the "Foodie God's" thought process was quite different from a normal person's. Seeing that there weren't too many people around and things were getting chaotic, he quickly turned around and went back to the restaurant, telling the Donglaishun staff, "Keep this pot for me, I'll come back to eat it after I finish giving my statement! Don't take it away!"

The staff looked at the food and wondered whether to keep it or not. They had never encountered a customer who left halfway through their meal and then wanted to come back for another bite. After discussing it with the manager, they decided to make an exception and keep the food.

As he was leaving, he saw Li Qiuxiang giving a statement at the door. Seeing him go out, she waved him away, saying, "Come here and leave your name, workplace, and a few words. That's enough! We haven't finished eating yet!"

Zhao Aiguo nodded repeatedly; this was a big deal! The two finished giving their statements in less than ten minutes and returned home. Only then did Zhao Aiguo feel a little better!

"Are you kidding? There are still two pounds of mutton, a plate of tofu and cabbage left to eat! If he doesn't finish them, he'll be so heartbroken he won't be able to sleep for two weeks. Embezzlement and waste are heinous crimes!"

After they returned to their room, the two sat down again, and the staff brought them another pound of mutton, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, this is a complimentary dish from our store. Please enjoy!"

Upon hearing that it was a gift, and meat at that, the two men beamed with joy, quickly thanking the giver. Zhao Aiguo, while repeatedly saying thank you and expressing his embarrassment, accepted the gift, afraid that if he hesitated even a moment, the giver would take his polite words seriously and leave.

It can only be said that these two people have a moral bottom line, but they are not so noble as to not take a single needle or thread from the people. Their bottom line is that they will not rob or ask for things, but they will not refuse what you give them.

After eating a few bites of mutton to calm his nerves, Zhao Aiguo said with lingering fear, "Sister Qiuxiang, you were too reckless. Those guys were so fierce, and you still dared to go up against them! You should think about your little Li Kui..."

Li Qiuxiang glared at him, refusing to eat her meat. "Are you blind?! If you call my fat man 'Little Li Kui' again, don't blame me for turning on you. I don't know how you can even tell good from bad. Let me tell you, this fat man is the best-looking person in my family, going back three generations! And it's not just me saying that, my grandparents say it too!"

Zhao Aiguo smiled awkwardly. "Fine! Whatever makes you happy! Even if he's the best-looking among all the people with the surname Li, that's fine too!" He felt embarrassed for blurting out his true feelings in his haste, especially since Li Qiuxiang had invited him to dinner.

Seeing that Zhao Aiguo didn't speak, Li Qiuxiang sighed, "Do you think I'm not afraid? But I was wearing a uniform! If I didn't rush in then, no one else would either. The public security situation hasn't been very good lately, so cracking down hard is imperative and cannot be delayed!" Li Qiuxiang was also quite annoyed by this matter.

Zhao Aiguo knew this all too well! But whose life isn't precious? He couldn't risk his life for work! His eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea struck him: "I've got an idea!"

Li Qiuxiang looked up at him, and while eating her food, said nonchalantly, "Then tell me, I want to hear it!"

Zhao Aiguo smiled mysteriously and said, "If we only rely on a few people from the public security bureau and the street offices, we can't handle the security situation even if we work ourselves to death. In an emergency like today, if we didn't have hundreds of people, we wouldn't even have time to wait for rescue."

Therefore, we can suggest to the relevant departments that each alley and street be equipped with a security team, specifically targeting strong and healthy elderly men and women, each equipped with a whistle, so that they can blow the whistle in case of an emergency and people nearby can hear it and rush over.

Let me tell you, sometimes you can't just reason with people; you have to persuade them with virtue. And martial virtue is virtue too! I don't advocate violence for violence, but a little sparring is acceptable! For this kind of situation, you need to find professionals. I'll think about it and go talk to our minister and the relevant departments; this could be incorporated into a temporary security team.”

"Damn, you're a genius! As expected of someone who's been in the police force, your problem-solving skills are truly exceptional!" Li Qiuxiang suddenly realized that she herself had been a notorious bachelor, but since donning this uniform, she had become a qualified police officer.

They immediately picked up their glasses and drank one each. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they said goodbye to each other.

The next day, before Zhao Aiguo could even approach his superior, the superior called him to his office. As soon as Zhao Aiguo entered, he saw his superior smiling broadly at him, his mouth so wide that his back teeth were visible. "You're a good kid. You've only been here a short time, but you've already made several contributions!"

You accomplished another great feat yesterday, I heard about it. If it weren't for you, the situation would have been out of control. Don't say I didn't reward you! You've been promoted too fast, you can't be promoted any further, I have to slow you down a bit, but don't worry, I've remembered it all!

Tell me, how did you dare to fight those thugs? I heard there were eight of them, all as tall as you and even stronger than you. You're incredibly brave!

"Good, good, good! I'll just transfer to civilian work, otherwise I'll take you to the battlefield to fight the American devils! You're a real good soldier! I'm itching to join you!" This leader had also been to the battlefield, but was wounded and transferred to the Organization Department as its head! He especially liked men with guts, and Zhao Aiguo was exactly his type!

Zhao Aiguo smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's not as good as the leaders say! Even if we were caught in the crossfire, I'm still a man. How could I just stand by and watch those heartless people bully women? Even a female police officer could step in. If I backed down, I'd never be able to face anyone again! By the way, I also have something I want to report to the leaders!"

The leader nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! Go ahead!"

After Zhao Aiguo recounted what happened yesterday, he said, "...Leader, it's like this. I have a profound realization from what happened yesterday! Public security depends on the masses. The power of the masses is great. Sometimes, relying solely on our police comrades is not enough to solve all problems."

So, how about we suggest to the neighborhood committee that we assign a security team to each household, and have these agile and observant elderly people temporarily organize one? We could also apply to the finance department for a minimum subsidy, and ask various units to cooperate in providing a small allowance to the children of these people working in government units!

The minister nodded repeatedly as he listened. With the large-scale return of educated youth to the city, some of them didn't even have a job and were just causing trouble all day long! This greatly increased the workload of the front-line police officers. He then looked at Zhao Aiguo with appreciation. What a good young man. When he was first forced into this position, he looked down on it and was even assigned to the busiest department.

As it turns out, he worked hard and never complained, and rose through the ranks step by step on his own. Old Li has a good eye for talent! I must treat him to a drink sometime!

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Alright, it just so happens that some leaders from relevant departments are coming over at noon. You can come with me to entertain them and give them your opinion. Your opinion is excellent! Keep up the good work! You'll have a bright future ahead of you!"

Zhao Aiguo felt like a million curses were running through his mind. "Still working? I'm thinking of retiring now! You're really pushing me to my limits!" But he still managed a comfortable smile. "Okay! Thank you, boss!" Then he turned and left with a bitter face. Why is it so hard to just coast through life?!
