Chapter 2 Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared

"Good morning, old Bud." Roton called out to a man in his fifties.

Bud Dalka, he's a sheriff and he's going to retire in a few years.

If Rawdon had no ambition and just kept working like this, the best he could do would be to work until the sheriff retired, and maybe not even that.

Bud is a good guy in the police station and has rich experience in solving cases, so the chief and other senior officials are willing to hand over some difficult matters to him. To the police officers below, Bud will not put on airs as a sheriff.

Of course, Bud still looked at Rawdon differently.

That's because he knew that Rawdon was studying hard, for example, he attended an open university and obtained a degree, and he also wanted to take the national exam.

In Bud's opinion, Rawdon is an ambitious young man, which is very rare.

You have to know that these police officers in the police station are basically content with the status quo. To put it bluntly, they are just muddling through their days and have never thought about moving up.

So Bud usually takes good care of Rotten, and the relationship between the two is naturally good.

"What are they talking about?" Roton saw many police officers talking and laughing in groups.

"They are just trying to show off in secret how many gifts they gave to the director in various ways." Bud said disdainfully, "These guys don't want to work hard, but want to get promoted through crooked means. Oh, by the way, kid, you should also prepare for this promotion. Although your chances are slim, the director still thinks highly of you, so I think there is still a chance. You should also show some appreciation to the director."

"Old Bud, you just said that they were doing evil things?" Roton was speechless.

He wants to give it to her now but he can't, his pockets are empty, he has no money.

In addition to making achievements, Luoton felt that he had to find a way to make some money. Without money, many things could not be done.

Not to mention getting things done, he doesn't want to stay in the slums anymore. He can only move out of the slums when he has money.

"There's nothing we can do. This is the current atmosphere. Even if the director thinks highly of you, you can't just sit there and do nothing. Look, the competition is fierce." Bud sighed, "If I wasn't so stubborn when I was young, and if I had worked more with the leaders, I might have been promoted to a higher level."

From the chief of police to assistant deputy inspector, it is a huge chasm.

Because assistant deputy inspector is the lowest level of management in the police station, and his status is completely different from that of a police officer. After all, the chief inspector is still at the police officer level.

"But you don't have to be discouraged, Rawdon. Even if you can't be promoted this time, I believe you will be able to pass the exam. By then~~" At this point, Bud's eyes lit up and said, "By then you will be at the level of inspector, and maybe even a director in the future. It would be such an honor for me, Bud, to have a friend who is a director."

"Chief!" suddenly, a police officer shouted.

Roden quickly turned his head and looked towards the gate, only to see Spanda Police Chief Yada Agarwal coming out.

"Captain, why are you here so early today?" The police officers including Rawdon saluted hurriedly, then whispered to Bud.

"Yeah, it's quite unexpected, isn't it?" Bud smiled and said, "It must be something big."

Roden shook his head slightly in agreement.

India shook her head to indicate approval and nodded to indicate disapproval.

Of course, there are many ways to shake your head, and the specific ways depend on the occasion and the amplitude of the shake, but shaking your head basically means agreement.

Roton thought quickly that Chief Yada's early arrival at work indicated that something important was going to happen, but when he searched his memory, it seemed that nothing major or serious had happened in the Spanda Police Station's jurisdiction today or in the next few days.

"Is Singh here?" asked Yada.

"Chief, the deputy chief hasn't arrived yet." A sheriff responded immediately.

Not to mention Deputy Director Geet Singh, none of the other inspectors arrived at nine o'clock. As leaders, they have to arrive on time.

Yada shook his head slightly, then looked at Luoton and said, "Luoton, I need you to translate, come with me."

"Yes, Chief!" Rawdon responded immediately.

Amid the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, Rotten followed Adah who turned and walked out.

For these police officers, the fact that Roton could speak English was indeed enviable, especially since the chief often asked Roton to handle some English-related matters, and it could be said that he was always in front of the leader.

Unfortunately, not everyone is qualified because they don’t speak English.

Although everyone knows the importance of English and is envious and jealous of it, no one is willing to spend time learning it.

When it comes down to it, these people have no ambition and just want to get by.

Opportunity comes to those who are prepared.

Luoton sat in the passenger seat, and the driver was also a second-level police officer.

Although Yada is a director, he is not qualified to own his own official car because his rank is not high enough. This is the police station's car and is only used when on missions.

After getting in the car, Luoton didn't say a word, but just secretly looked at Yada sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Roton found that Yada seemed a little excited, but also a little worried, which was a bit contradictory.

The car started, and the driver was obviously informed of the destination, but Rawdon didn't know it.

Ten minutes later, Yada said, "Rotten, we are going to meet the Minister of Finance, Mr. Rajiti Nair, later. You must translate the English carefully, without any mistakes..."

"Yes, Chief!"

Roton probably understood something in his mind. The Rajti Nair mentioned by Yada was the Finance Minister of Maharashtra, who was in charge of the state's purse strings and was definitely a heavyweight figure.

It stands to reason that such a big shot would not look for a grassroots police chief like Yada.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It's like if the Director of China's Finance Department has something to do, would he directly go to the director of a grassroots police station?

Basically, they all go to see the director of the municipal bureau or the director of the department.

So this matter seems a bit weird.

No wonder Yada looked a little conflicted just now.

Being summoned by such a big boss is generally a good thing, as the big boss must need you for something, but this good thing can easily turn into a bad thing.

For example, if you can’t satisfy the boss, that would be a bad thing.

Rotten was thinking about Rajti Nair in his mind. He knew this guy.

After all, he is a big shot in Mabang, and there was also news about this guy when Rawdon was in Mumbai in his previous life.

It should be two years later, this guy was caught. He was investigated for accepting a large amount of bribes and was eventually sentenced to three years in prison.

This is relatively rare. In India, these powerful people are rarely sentenced.

Of course, these are some power struggles between political parties, and it is these struggles that can put opponents in jail.

Regardless of whether this guy will be brought down in the future, he is definitely a powerful boss now.

Luoton felt a little sad in his heart. In his previous life, he had no chance to meet such a big boss.

I didn't expect that as a second-level police officer, I would have this opportunity now. It's really unpredictable.

The car passed numerous security checks and drove into an upscale residential area.

Roton and his companions came to Ragiti's residence. This was a private meeting and it was impossible for them to appear in the office.

Director Yada seems very restrained here. There is no way because the status gap is too big.

Rotten felt much better and didn't feel too burdened. He just followed Yada and translated when the time came.

Bigwigs like Rajiti basically disdain to talk to people in other languages ​​and just speak English directly.

If Hindi or Marathi, the local language of Malaysia, is really used, it is usually for political propaganda and to get close to the people and win votes.

Of course, Yada knew that when Rajiti summoned him, there would be translators here, and some of his subordinates might even communicate with him directly without using English, but he still brought Rotten with him just in case.

Just now at the police station, Yada asked whether Deputy Chief Gert Singh had arrived. In fact, Roton knew very well that Yada was just asking casually. Even if Singh really wanted to be there, he would not bring Singh with him.

No matter what, being summoned by the big boss is a good thing after all. How can I share such a good thing with others? ~~~~~ Note: During the new book period, there will be two updates a day, at noon and ten o'clock in the evening. If there are additional updates, it will usually be at six o'clock in the evening.
