About a week later, when Lu Yuan went to collect his food, he saw Chen Ming again. Chen Ming and the other men he had brought with him were putting up some posters on the wall.
Upon seeing Chen Ming, Lu Yuan stepped forward and greeted him.
"I thought you weren't planning on coming!" After saying that, Lu Yuan secretly handed Chen Ming a bag containing several packs of cigarettes.
Chen Ming took the bag and gently opened it. Upon seeing what was inside, he was immediately filled with joy.
"Haha! Of course I came! This time I'm here to resolve the issue of your security team. By the way, the matter of applying for a security team for you that I mentioned last time has been completed! Here are your identification documents!"
Lu Yuan took the document and glanced at it. At the top were the words "Security Team of the Third District of Qingshui City New Urban Area," below which were some instructions about the application and the approval criteria, as well as some signatures and codes of local leaders.
Then Chen Ming gathered everyone together to explain some precautions and work requirements for the security team.
First of all, the security team is a civilian armed force under District 3. However, this armed force needs to be put in quotes because Chen Ming said last time that although the higher-ups have approved the possession of handguns, it is best not to let people know about them.
After all, while a handgun is a deterrent weapon and can be used for self-defense, you also have to be careful that other people notice it. If it gets lost or stolen, it will be a real problem! So it's best not to take it out easily, and you shouldn't tell anyone about it.
The security team's mission is to protect the safety of their own territory. If any bad people or bad things happen, the police are too busy to deal with it. That's why the public organizes the security team to share the burden of the police. If any bad people or bad things happen, the security team can make some decisions on its own.
However, if something truly terrible happens, it is still necessary to report to higher authorities. After all, as an armed force, the goal must be to protect public safety, not to use the security team as a cover for doing bad things, which would be counterproductive. Moreover, the captain of this security team needs to be selected by the police, the temporary city security forces, and the military.
Lu Yuan was directly elected as the team leader by everyone, because after some recent events, everyone could see that Lu Yuan was quite capable, which was obvious to all. In addition, he had already established a relationship with Boss Kong in the city, so if they wanted to get something from Boss Kong in the future, they would inevitably have to use his name.
Seeing that everyone agreed to let Lu Yuan be the team leader, Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that he would have to do some ideological work with everyone, but it seemed that there was no need for that. He didn't expect that Lu Yuan would be so popular here.
Then Chen Ming went on to talk about some things that the security team needed to pay attention to. These were things that the security team members needed to be aware of, such as reporting their work regularly, and the responsibility of protecting the grain and water trucks.
However, what was mentioned above were all responsibilities, and not many people were willing to join this thankless job. After all, staying at home doesn't consume much food and water, but constantly showing their faces and meddling in other people's business would definitely consume food. However, when Chen Ming continued to speak, everyone's attitude suddenly changed completely.
"These are the things the security team needs to pay attention to and the rules to follow. However, since the security team has been recognized by the higher authorities, there are naturally benefits to joining. Once you join the security team, each person can receive an extra person's worth of rice every day. If you are injured or killed, you will receive compensation from the higher authorities. It is all written here, so we hope everyone will sign up enthusiastically!"
At this point, the crowd erupted in excitement, with many reaching out to join the security team immediately.
However, the security team is not a retirement home or a kindergarten. Everyone who wants to join the security team must submit a personal file and undergo a review before they can join. The review process is quite strict, and anyone with a bad record will not be allowed to join the security team. There are also age restrictions for security team members, with the oldest being no more than sixty and the youngest no less than eighteen. This has prevented many people from joining the security team.
There are also certain professions that prevent people from joining the security team. For example, those with a history of involvement in violent activities are ineligible. However, not everyone is excluded; it simply requires an approval process. Since China implemented electronic personal files, everyone's records are meticulously documented, including where they were born, which hospital they visited, where they attended school, any awards they received, and any disciplinary actions they may have taken. Therefore, anyone with even the slightest blemish on their record cannot join the security team.
This eliminated many people's chances, and after a screening process, only a dozen or so people from the entire Zone 3 joined the security team. Among them were Chen Ke, Sun Zhe, and Song Heng, as well as some other young people. To Lu Yuan's surprise, Deng Yuanyuan, the girl who helped treat everyone after they were injured, also became a member of the security team. However, she did not participate in security work but served as an intern doctor accompanying the team, enjoying the same treatment as everyone else.
After announcing these matters, Chen Ming led everyone away. Those who got the job were excited and boasted to others, while those who were not selected looked on with envy.
