Bai Song was not a man who cared too much about small matters. This time, he was very excited when he heard his leader say that he would ask for a third-class merit for himself. With Teacher Li saying so, it was completely settled. Bai Song came out of the office and called his father to tell him about this matter.
"Okay, your leader treats you well." Bai Yulong said when he heard this.
"Yeah, I said our leader treats me well." Bai Song said proudly.
"You little brat, you still don't understand what I'm saying. It's because you're my son that no one else can tell you." Bai Yulong said, "I heard you brag to me last time about what law books you were reading recently. Let me ask you, under what circumstances can a public security policeman be awarded the third-class merit?"
"Ah? There is such a provision?" Bai Song searched his mind. The Constitution? The Criminal Law?
"The Regulations on Rewards for People's Police in Public Security Organs stipulate that those who have made outstanding achievements and great contributions will be awarded the third-class merit. There are also subdivisions later. For example, in your two cases, one is considered an outstanding work achievement, and the other is considered to be cracking down on illegal acts that infringe on public and private property in accordance with the law. In general, the achievements are outstanding.
But don't forget that you also caught two small smugglers in Southern Xinjiang Province and solved a murder case. Your instructor didn't count these two as one, right?" Bai Yulong said, "This is already a great favor to you. There are so many cases every year. I have a colleague who caught two murderers and didn't get a third-class merit once."
"How is it possible?" Bai Song was shocked. A murderer!
"Why is it impossible?" Bai Yulong said, "Receiving awards for meritorious service is the organization's recognition of you. You can't force it. Your instructor is right. What belongs to you is yours. By implication, don't think too much about what doesn't belong to you. For example, the pangolin you caught was actually a small contribution. Anyone could have caught it, so logically speaking, your contribution was not great.
The same goes for murderers. If your boss assigns you to wait at a crossroads and you catch someone in one fell swoop, don't feel bad if you don't get any credit. Take the dismemberment case that our task force solved, for example. The person who caught the murderer himself actually didn't get as much credit as you.
We are still fair. I think your team can report the case you encountered in South Xinjiang Province and the dismemberment case solved by your team to the Municipal Bureau for a second-class merit. The second-class merit can only be awarded by provincial-level agencies. It is easier for municipalities directly under the Central Government, and the Municipal Bureau can decide. Don't expect too much whether it will be given to you, but the minimum is a third-class merit."
"Ah? Dad, you misunderstood. I don't think that the leader gave me less credit... Adding all these together, I am very satisfied that I can be awarded the third-class merit!" Bai Song was delighted after hearing his father's words.
"Okay, it's good to have this mentality. You must have this mentality to rush to the front when encountering things and stand behind when sharing the credit and receiving awards." Bai Yulong instructed.
"Dad, don't worry!" Bai Song almost patted his chest to make a promise.
"Well... no, I have to give you two more words of advice. First, you must remember that all the credit you can get is not yours alone, but the collective. Without the collective, not only will you not get any credit, but your case will also be very dangerous.
You have a better family background than I did, and you graduated from a prestigious university, but remember, unity is the first priority, and the Public Security Bureau must not allow one person to act independently. You are not like that now, but you are too young and don’t know anything. I will give you two more credits. If you get carried away and want to change back, it will be troublesome.”
Bai Yulong said earnestly, "The second thing is safety. It's right to be ahead of others when encountering something, but you can't just rush in foolishly. You must bring the necessary equipment and gear, and you must avoid the taboos. You must not rush in alone. Do you remember?"
"Remember, remember." Bai Song took it deeply into his heart.
Many people think that the children of leaders are more likely to become leaders because of connections and backstabbing, but this is not entirely true. Born in a leader's family, there will be absolutely no reservations between the father and the son. Through words and deeds, the children's knowledge and behavior are completely different from those of ordinary people.
Bai Song was not at all impatient with his father's words. His father seldom taught him these words. He would only tell him when something happened, and at such times, Bai Song would often remember them deeply.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are young. As long as you don't make any mistakes in principle, you don't have to be afraid of anything. If anything happens, you still have your father. Haha..." Bai Yulong was in a good mood.
"By the way," Bai Yulong said, "after the New Year, when I'm not so busy at work, your mother and I will go to Tianhua City and show you a house."
"What? House? How old am I?" Bai Song couldn't figure out why his father suddenly made such a big turn.
"Well, time flies. After the Chinese New Year, in August next year, you will be a regular employee and can use your housing fund. Your mother and I don't have that much money, but it's not a big problem for us to get money for your down payment. I think the house prices will go up. If we buy you a small house sooner, your mother and I will feel more at ease..."
"I know, I know..."
Bai Song hung up the phone and thought of Chen Jianwei.
Although fathers may seem strict and serious sometimes, all their struggles outside are for their children's brighter future.
Bai Song thought, maybe, only when he becomes a father, he will truly understand...
In the afternoon and evening, the atmosphere in the station was a little different. Several police officers who were not on duty came back quietly, packed up their things, and left quietly.
Bai Song knew that these were the brothers who would set out together tomorrow at noon.
The four groups are still fully staffed. The ones traveling this time are Bai Song and Sun Aimin. They are carrying police uniforms, handcuffs, hoods and other police equipment, but no guns. They will all gather at the police station at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
I don’t know if it was because this atmosphere was very contagious, but throughout the entire evening and the second half of the night, there were very few police incidents in the area. There was only one dispute, and by the time the police arrived, the dispute had been resolved on its own.
All the work in the institute had been handed over. On the morning of the next day, Director Sun gathered the eight people in the institute who were going out to perform the mission and mobilized everyone. In short, they were to obey orders, follow commands, maintain absolute confidentiality, and pay attention to safety.
"This time when you go out, if you have any problems, just follow Lao Sun and follow the team. Call me if you have any problems." Sun Tang helped Bai Song pack his bag in Bai Song's dormitory and stuffed the common medicines he bought in the morning into Bai Song's bag.
