Chapter 120 Promotion and Salary Increase
Jiang Biao, Qiao Jiali and Chen Yan were sitting below, watching Zhou Yi, dressed in a neat police uniform, walk up to the stage. He first saluted the leader, and then saluted all the brothers below the stage.
Zhou Yi walked to the podium on the left, adjusted the position of the microphone, and officially began his speech.
Jiang Biao suddenly lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Am I dazzled? Did Zhou Yi forget to bring his speech?"
Chen Yan stretched his neck to take a look and whispered, "It seems that there is nothing."
Qiao Jiali was surprised and said, "For such an important meeting, this guy can actually report without a script? Not bad."
The three people in the audience were surprised, and Wu Yongcheng, who was closest to Zhou Yi on the stage, was even more surprised. He stretched his neck to see if Zhou Yi had hidden the manuscript underneath.
But when Zhou Yi was speaking, he looked straight ahead the whole time, looking at the people in the audience, and didn't even look down.
Wu Yongcheng was secretly surprised: "Hey, I didn't realize this kid was so capable. If I had known earlier, I would have let him write the report on Zhu Xuejun's case last time. I was so suffocated."
Zhou Yi's speech began by continuing Xie Guoqiang's emphasis on the serious nature of the case and its adverse impact on society.
Then, describe the main process and investigative focus of the case concisely and forcefully, focusing on the key points.
During this process, he did not mention himself at all, and every term he used was "we" instead of "I".
At the same time, there was no clumsy flattery of Director Xie, such as "under the wise leadership of the director, this and that."
What he emphasized and highlighted were the Municipal Bureau, the collective, the cooperation of all the police officers involved in investigating the case, the belief, the mission, and the honor and ideal of being a police officer.
The people in the audience were so excited that their blood was boiling and they were ready to fight. They couldn't wait to rush out and fight the criminals.
Although Director Xie remained calm, a hint of satisfaction flashed between his brows.
Zhou Yi's speech report made Wu Yongcheng straighten his back immediately, and he couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Finally, Zhou Yi ended his speech with the words, "In this prosperous era, we must remain vigilant."
Director Xie took the lead in applauding, and everyone immediately understood and burst into thunderous applause.
It's not just to please the director, but also because Zhou Yi's speech is indeed inspiring.
How could they know that Zhou Yi had read countless case closing reports in his previous life, some of which were so beautifully written that he couldn't help but read and study them over and over again.
Half of what he said impromptu today was directly quoted from those reports, and half was his own opinion based on the case.
He couldn't copy the poem to show his sageliness, and if he copied the song, he was tone-deaf and couldn't be Charlotte, so he could only copy the closing report.
Zhou Yi saluted the leaders and the audience again and was about to leave when Xie Guoqiang suddenly spoke.
"Zhou Yi, wait a moment."
When the director spoke, everyone fell silent.
"Zhou Yi's speech was surprisingly good, especially since he barely mentioned himself, Wu Yongcheng, or the Third Brigade. This lack of individualism and a collective perspective is something every comrade here should learn from."
Wow—applause broke out again.
But Zhou Yi, who was standing there, was nervous. It was obvious that Director Xie was using him as a tool to plot against someone.
He stole a glance at the detachment leader, Ni Jianrong, who was clapping his hands slowly and mechanically with no expression on his face.
Well, now I know where to fire this gun.
"Everyone knows that Comrade Zhou Yi is an outstanding talent that Old Wu discovered from the grassroots. He has only been with the Municipal Bureau for two weeks, but he has already become a key investigator in solving several major cases, including the 316 case, the Food Street hostage case, and now this major dismemberment case. Without Comrade Zhou Yi's hard work and perseverance, these achievements would not be possible."
"I believe that the arrival of Comrade Zhou Yi is a gust of wind, a signal, and a clarion call for us to combat crime and purify the security environment in Hongcheng."
"So, I have two things to announce."
Everyone immediately listened attentively.
"According to the decision of the city leadership, starting today, all police bureaus and grassroots police stations across the city must concentrate their efforts and launch an investigation into missing persons cases within their jurisdictions. This includes not only those that occurred recently, but also missing persons cases from one year ago, three years ago, five years ago, and even longer ago. All backlogs and old cases must be dug up and investigated!"
"We must prevent victims like Zhang Hui from being classified as missing persons again."
Zhou Yi was cheered up and immediately wanted to say: What a wise leader.
Director Xie continued, "This operation is codenamed 'Searchlight.' The first phase will last three months and will be under the unified command and dispatch of the Municipal Bureau. I am the commander-in-chief, and Captain Ni is the deputy commander."
Ni Jianrong nodded slightly.
Director Xie suddenly shouted, "Wu Yongcheng!"
Wu Yongcheng immediately stood up and said loudly, "Here we are."
"Your Third Squadron is still responsible for major cases in this operation. All cases that the lower levels of the police station can't solve, and all cases that the precinct can't solve, will be solved by your Third Squadron. Can you do it?"
Wu Yongcheng saluted and replied loudly: "I guarantee to complete the task!"
Director Xie nodded with satisfaction and motioned him to sit down.
"This is the first thing I want to announce today. As for the second thing..." Director Xie said, stood up, and walked out from behind the leadership seat.
Everyone was confused as he walked up to Zhou Yi and said, "In view of Comrade Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in many major cases, the Municipal Bureau has decided to promote Comrade Zhou Yi from Second Class Police Officer to Second Class Superintendent, effective immediately."
When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked.
Second-class superintendent is nothing in the municipal police station. What is really shocking is that he was promoted three levels in a row.
You should know that before Zhou Yi was transferred to the Municipal Bureau, he was just a rookie who had just graduated for half a year and was an ordinary second-level police officer.
When I was transferred here, there was no promotion, just a horizontal transfer.
Now there are three consecutive upgrades, and it’s only been half a month. The Rockets have to reflect on themselves after seeing this.
Xie Guoqiang extended his hand and said, "Comrade Zhou Yi, congratulations."
Zhou Yi, waking up from a dream, immediately extended his hand: "Thank you, Director, and thank you for the organization's trust in me."
As soon as the conference ended, a large number of people came to congratulate Zhou Yi, many of whom had little contact with him before.
The rank of Second-Class Superintendent was nothing, but the favor of the Chief was a big deal.
Especially the Third Brigade, everyone was very excited. If Zhou Yi showed up, it meant that the Third Brigade would show up.
Before returning to the office, Jiang Biao excitedly shouted that he must not go home until he was drunk tonight, and the two bottles of Moutai that Captain Wu owed him must be paid today.
As soon as they returned to the Third Brigade office, Wu Yongcheng closed the door and said, "What are you drinking? Your mind is full of alcohol. Do you look like a police officer?"
Jiang Biao laughed and said, "It's fine for anyone else to say that, but it's not appropriate for you, Captain Wu, to say that."
Wu Yongcheng was stunned: "Why?"
"As the saying goes, tobacco and alcohol have been inseparable since ancient times. What qualifications do you, an old smoker, have to criticize me, an old alcoholic? Hahaha."
"Get lost." Wu Yongcheng cursed with a smile, then turned to Zhou Yi and said, "Do you really think that the director gave you three promotions just because you did such a good job?"
These words made Zhou Yi stunned.
