"Okay, I'll go back and arrange the work. If there's any progress, we'll communicate in time...Yes, we'll communicate in time, hehe."
Niu Jianbin laughed. He didn’t know why he almost used the word “report” just now, but when the words came to his lips, he forced himself to change it to “communication”.
After all, the two of them are at the same level and are in charge of the same work...and no one is under the leadership of the other.
Niu Jianbin didn't know why, but when facing Li Lin...he felt inferior to him.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't resist it... He could only nod his head continuously and said "yes" repeatedly to Li Lin's questions.
Wu Xiongfei was suddenly excluded from the task force, which surprised his colleagues at the Public Security Bureau and led to many speculations.
Some people keenly noticed that Secretary Niu's attitude towards Wu Xiongfei took a sharp turn for the worse in the past few days, and there was no longer the intimacy of "brothers" as before.
When they saw Wu Xiongfei walking through the corridor back to his office early in the morning, some people gathered together and whispered, "All the soldiers under Captain Five were transferred to the special task force, leaving him alone... Why is that? Isn't his relationship with Secretary Niu usually quite harmonious?"
"Hey, haven't you heard... Wu Xiongfei violated Secretary Niu's taboo! He informed Deputy County Chief Li of the clues he found in the hospital first, but did not report it to Secretary Niu in time, causing Secretary Niu to lose face in front of Secretary Liu of the County Committee... That's why he was ignored."
"So that's how it is. Captain Wu is usually a very disciplined person, so why did he get confused at the critical moment? As a subordinate, he didn't report to his leader first, but reported to an irrelevant person... No wonder Secretary Niu was angry with him."
People were talking about it behind his back, and some even speculated that given Niu Jianbin's strong style, Wu Xiongfei's tenure as the criminal investigation captain might be over...
Where would he be sent? Would he be assigned to a township as a deputy director or an ordinary police officer?
Some people laughed secretly, some were worried about Wu Xiongfei...there were many different opinions and expressions.
Wu Xiongfei, who was suddenly left out, was a little annoyed.
He originally wanted to make himself a cup of tea, but when he got half of the water, he felt more and more aggrieved, so he simply poured the water out and put the cup heavily back on the table.
His mind was in a mess...what Li Lin said to him last night was still ringing in his ears.
Li Lin said he would go see Secretary Niu and told him to wait for news with peace of mind, maybe there would be a turn for the better...
But how is this possible?
Secretary Niu is such a strong person, how could he listen to the advice of Li Lin, who is at the same level as him?
"Hey...it's already ten o'clock, and there's no news at all. Could it be that County Magistrate Li Lin just said that casually..."
Wu Xiongfei was unsure.
He was not sure whether Li Lin had the ability to convince Niu Jianbin.
But now that things have come to this, even if I am extremely anxious, I have no choice but to wait patiently.
He frowned deeply and sighed... He was so close to Li Lin and offended his boss for it. I don't know if it's worth it...
Suddenly, the cell phone on the table vibrated, giving him a fright.
When I picked it up, it turned out to be Niu Jianbin calling... Could it be... that a turning point has really come?
After hesitating for two seconds and feeling uneasy, Wu Xiongfei answered the phone.
"Secretary Niu, do you have any instructions?"
"Oh, haha...Xiong Fei, are you in the bureau? If you're not busy, come to my office. I have something to say to you."
"Okay Secretary, I'll be right there."
Hang up the phone.
Wu Xiongfei began to murmur in his heart.
Do you have anything to say to him?
Niu Jianbin had always been very commanding and tough when he called him before... Why was he so gentle today? And even wanted to negotiate?
Hiss~ It's really hard to figure out...
Wu Xiongfei didn't dare to delay, pushed open the door, and strode towards Niu Jianbin's office.
When those who were curious saw Wu Xiongfei hurriedly walking out, they quickly leaned out to take a look.
When he saw Wu Xiongfei walking straight into Niu Jianbin's office, he said to his colleagues in surprise, "Oh, Captain Wu went to Secretary Niu's office... Was he summoned by the leader, or did he come on his own initiative? Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Looking at Captain Wu's aggressive attitude, he might even have a falling out with Secretary Niu... What a miserable ending!"
A female police officer with a good appearance in the office frowned at her colleague who was lying at the door to get information. She couldn't stand listening to his increasingly outrageous words, so she walked up to him and grabbed his ear jokingly, scolding him, "Captain Wu is in such a state, how can you still be in the mood to joke? After all, we are colleagues, can't you hope for the best for him?"
"Oh? Are you worried?...Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who's worried? I just can't stand the way you're looking down on others and not minding the big deal."
...
When Niu Jianbin saw Wu Xiongfei knocking on the door and coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him, attentively poured him a cup of tea, and kept asking him to "sit down first, sit down first..."
It was the first time for me to enjoy such high treatment as having Secretary Niu pour tea for me. I was flattered.
Wu Xiongfei didn't know whether to sit or stand until Niu Jianbin handed him a disposable paper cup. He then hurriedly took it with both hands, said thank you, and then sat down.
Niu Jianbin pulled a chair over and sat down in front of Wu Xiongfei. He asked him with concern, "Xiongfei, how have you rested these days? I know you are usually tired from work, so Liu Zhong didn't let you participate in this case. I wanted to let you rest for two days."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiongfei stood up and said, "Leader, I'm not tired, I don't need to rest."
"Okay, okay, you sit down first..." Niu Jianbin waved at him with a smile, telling him to calm down and not get excited, and to sit down and talk.
He changed the subject and sighed, "I originally wanted to let you rest for two more days, but the nature of Liu Zhong's case has changed. It has been preliminarily classified as a criminal case. I'm afraid you, the captain of the criminal investigation team, can't rest even if you want to... From now on, you will take over the Liu Zhong case and get to the bottom of it as soon as possible, and give justice to the victim!"
"Leader...you mean, I can investigate cases again?"
Hearing this, Wu Xiongfei widened his eyes, looked at Niu Jianbin in disbelief, and asked blankly.
Niu Jianbin smiled and said, "You are an expert in handling cases in our bureau. Of course you have to participate in any case! Besides, County Magistrate Li just recommended you to me, saying that you are capable and trustworthy... Hehe, I think so too, so I called you over to inform you in person."
Recommended by County Magistrate Li Lin?
Did he really go to talk to Secretary Niu?
Did he really change Secretary Niu’s attitude by himself?
Am I fucking dreaming?
Wu Xiongfei's head was buzzing and he was unable to react for a moment.
Seeing his expression, Niu Jianbin joked, "Xiong Fei, don't hide it. I've noticed that you have a close relationship with County Magistrate Li... You can be on good terms with County Magistrate Li, and with his support, you have a bright future... Hehe, if there's a chance, you can set up a party so that I can have a drink with County Magistrate Li and make friends with him."
