The Huo family rested at home for a day, and the next day Huo Haocheng accompanied Fu Mingyi to report to the Public Security Bureau.
Over the years, Huo Haocheng had maintained a fairly good relationship with Director Gu Ming. Gu Ming was a distant relative of the Gu family and had served in the military when he was young. He retired later to take care of his family. With the help of the Gu family and his military merits during his years in the military, he was directly appointed as the deputy director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau after his demobilization.
But upon arriving in the capital, driven by his passion, he handled cases without mercy, thus offending many people. During one arrest mission, realizing he couldn't escape, he deliberately went to Gu Ming's house, poured gasoline all over himself, set himself on fire, and locked the door from the inside.
Because the arrest took place at night, by the time Gu Ming and his men caught up, Gu Ming's house was already engulfed in flames. The neighbors tried to rush in to rescue people as soon as they discovered the fire, but they couldn't break down the door. As the fire grew larger and larger, the neighbors had no choice but to give up in order to protect themselves.
Later, after the fire was extinguished, Gu Ming removed the door and they discovered that the inside of the door was blocked by tables, chairs, sofas, and other objects, which explained why they couldn't break it open.
However, the fire also took away Gu Ming's sick mother and pregnant wife. From then on, Gu Ming was all alone, living in the pain of causing the death of his family.
After that, he felt he had no more attachments in this world, so he became even more ruthless in his dealings.
This is one reason why, despite Li Dong's lack of ability, those people were still willing to make him the deputy director. He was a smooth operator, knowing who he could offend and who he couldn't. He would turn a blind eye to minor matters, but if someone gave him a gift and received a benefit, he would be willing to do them a favor in return.
Li Dong was a shrewd man; he never forgot to share the benefits with his brothers. As a result, Gu Ming's prestige within the bureau gradually declined, and over time, he became nothing more than a figurehead.
After Li Dong stepped down, those who followed him were also implicated. Those with serious problems were sent to farms, while those with minor problems lost their jobs.
Therefore, Fu Mingyi's transfer here to fill this vacancy is also a good opportunity to train his own people.
After Huo Haocheng introduced Fu Mingyi and Gu Ming to each other, they had lunch together. "Comrade Huo Haocheng, as you can see, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I've failed as the director! There are only two people in the entire bureau who are truly capable. In front of you, I'm quite a big shot. According to seniority, I'm practically your wife's cousin. Could you please arrange for some people from your veterans over the years to come over here?"
During the meal, Gu Ming looked at Huo Haocheng with a troubled expression. He knew that it would be better for him to go to Old Master Gu about this matter, but he was too ashamed to face him. Over the years, the Gu family had treated him with more than enough kindness. He was a failure. As a son, his mother was unable to enjoy her old age because of him. As a husband and father, he failed to protect them, causing them to lose their lives at a young age. His child was gone before he even got to see the world. As a leader, he made his brothers suffer all kinds of cold treatment.
After this incident, he had considered retiring. He had read Fu Mingyi's resume and knew that he was quite capable and that his style of doing things was similar to his own when he was young. However, he had brothers like Huo Haocheng and Gu Jinghe by his side, which was the difference between them. At some point, he also wondered if his life would be different if he had a few like-minded friends by his side.
When he mustered up the courage to go to his supervisor to resign, the supervisor was not entirely unaware of his situation over the years. However, due to the circumstances, he could not take action against him, which resulted in Gu Ming being sidelined in his position as director. Therefore, when Gu Ming came to him to resign, he did not agree and even told him that Fu Mingyi's style of doing things was very similar to his own when he was young, and encouraged them to get along better.
Therefore, Gu Ming has no choice but to shamelessly approach Huo Haocheng. Every year, some people are discharged from the army, and their abilities are obvious to all. They can start working directly without any retraining.
Huo Haocheng was aware of Gu Ming's situation, so when Gu Ming made the request, Huo Haocheng agreed without hesitation, since it was just a small favor.
If nothing unexpected happens, Fu Mingyi will settle down here, so Huo Haocheng won't ignore him even if it's just for his sake.
After Fu Mingyi reported for duty, Huo Haocheng went back and discussed recruitment with Ruan Ruan.
"Did Zheng Xuyang and the others call? When will they arrive? I'll pick them up then." After dinner, and after putting the two children to sleep, Huo Haocheng accompanied Ruan Ruan to the pavilion to cool off. The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and the Huo family has invited the Ruan family, Gu family, Lan family, Su family, and a few people from Huo Haocheng's team to their home for a get-together. So the rest of the Huo family members have been busy all day preparing food for tomorrow, and after dinner, they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
"I got a call this morning. Brother Xuyang and Brother Chen are taking the 9 o'clock train this morning. If you have time, please pick them up. If you don't have time, that's okay, I'll pick them up."
"Alright, I'll go then. Also, have you calculated how many people you need for this factory construction?" In the past two years, because of Ruan Ruan's factory construction, school construction, and charity organization, she has contacted many former veterans for his help. Now he has no one left. He thought that once she has calculated the number of people, when they come tomorrow, he can talk to his father-in-law and ask him to help contact people.
