In the conference room.
Director Bai reluctantly shut his mouth.
Nothing more!
In terms of age, he is not as old as the three experts in front of him; in terms of seniority, they are from a provincial department and are more than enough to overshadow his branch office; in terms of rank, don't be fooled by his position as deputy director, as a level three expert in the department is a legitimate senior-level expert.
He can't compare to him!
Thinking of this, Director Bai looked like a wronged wife. He glanced at the three of them, then at Guan Feng, and then sat there silently, keeping his mouth shut and his mind at ease.
Old Qin withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked at Guan Feng, asking, "Little Guan, how about it? Are you interested in working in the hall? Come to our group. Don't worry, with the three of us old guys here, no one will dare to bully you."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder Qin, but I have just been transferred to Hua'an and I am only just getting used to working at the grassroots level. I am still hoping to stay in the bureau and investigate more cases to uncover the truth."
Old Qin sighed and said, "You young people, don't always listen to those motivational platitudes, like how frontline criminal investigation is good training, or that there's room for advancement at the grassroots level. Those are all lies. The platform you're on determines how high you can go."
Guan Feng said, "Old Qin is right!"
This statement is perfectly correct, and it would certainly be true for most people as well.
How many people spend their entire lives struggling and honing their skills at the grassroots level?
Even setting aside his personal abilities, Guan Feng's goodwill with several boss-level figures was no less than that he had built up in the provincial government.
Therefore, this path did not hold much appeal for him.
I'll say it again!
He wanted to stay at the grassroots level to avoid blemishes on his career resume, rather than being forced to leave.
Seeing that Guan Feng remained unmoved, Old Qin sighed and said, "No wonder Zhang Yong thought so highly of you. Before you left, he even asked us to take good care of you. You were born to be a criminal investigator, neither humble nor arrogant. Since that's the case, we won't try to persuade you any further. But if you're unhappy working here in the future, feel free to come find me anytime."
Guan Feng said, "Thank you, Elder Qin!"
Old Qin waved his hand, signed the certificate of passing the assessment, and then said to the other two experts, "Level 3 experts in micro-expression analysis, do you have any questions?"
Old Zhang shook his head and said, "Xiao Guan's personal abilities are obvious to all, he should be a level three expert."
Old Li said, "Yes, in principle, the relevant certificates should be issued and archived by the department. However, considering that you grassroots staff are busy and Xiao Zhang has put in a good word for you, we'll simplify the procedures. Officer Chen, do you have any objections?"
Officer Chen shook his head and said, "I'm only responsible for recording. Since the process is compliant, these minor details are naturally not a problem."
Old Qin said, "In that case, Xiao Guan, you have officially passed the Level 3 expert assessment."
Guan Feng immediately expressed his gratitude to the experts and stated that he would do a better job in the micro-expression analysis task in the future.
Old Qin reminded him, "If we are busy, you will need to make time to visit several cities in Jiangbei. Also, micro-expression analysis can only guide our investigation direction, not be used as direct evidence. You need to understand this."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "I know."
Old Qin then gave some further instructions.
As noon approached, Guan Feng accompanied the group to have lunch in the bureau's canteen.
Director Bai and Zheng Yuandong accompanied them throughout the entire process.
Experts like Qin Lao may not be active on the front lines or have much power, but their influence is extraordinary. Coupled with their advanced age, they can speak frankly about certain things.
Guan Feng once heard of an old guy who rushed up to a big boss in the hall to report something, and they started arguing over something, leaving the leader in a dilemma of whether to kick him out or keep him.
1:30 PM.
The vehicle returned to the provincial capital.
Guan Feng stood at the entrance of the branch office and saw the group off.
He turned around.
He exchanged a few polite words with Bai Ju and Zheng Yuandong.
Director Bai laughed and said, "Little Guan, you're now a triple expert, aren't you?"
Zheng Yuandong added, "A level three expert, plus a provincial and municipal subsidy of 30,000 yuan, Xiao Guan must be getting 90,000 yuan in subsidies this month alone, right? If he passes the handwriting identification expert assessment, wouldn't that exceed 100,000 yuan?"
Director Bai clicked his tongue in amazement: "One month is equivalent to a year for others? If this gets out, it will start a wave of learning enthusiasm!"
Guan Feng said, "Director Bai, please don't make fun of me. I'm just lucky to have caught up with such a good era in my career. I have access to all kinds of information. If you were born in my time, you would definitely have more expert appraisal certificates than I do."
Director Bai laughed and said, "Don't be modest. Even in a good era, you still have to work hard."
Guan Feng nodded.
The three chatted for a while longer.
Guan Feng returned to his office.
......
Weekends always seem to fly by.
Guan Feng and Li Xiangdong have been working together on duty for the past two days, solving two minor cases, and then he's been resting and recharging in the office.
on Monday.
Guan Feng quickly washed up and went to the office.
Huang Lili smiled and congratulated him, "Captain, I heard you passed the expert evaluation for micro-expression analysis?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "The experts in the hall didn't mean to make things difficult for me, otherwise this matter wouldn't be so simple."
Huang Lili shook her head and said, "Captain, don't be modest. I've heard about it. You broke the record for the fastest evaluation, compressing three videos into two. Even several experts wanted to poach you."
Guan Feng asked, "How come everyone already knows?"
Huang Lili said, "Hehe! After these experts complete their assessments, the process is reported to the leaders of the provincial, municipal, and branch bureaus. It's all written clearly in those documents."
Wang Xun clicked his tongue and asked, "Captain, does this mean we'll make a lot of money again?"
