Chapter 56 Director and Deputy Director (3rd update)
After settling the matter of 300,000 rupees, Rawdon went to the police station.
"Rotten, you're back, that's great." Seeing Rotten coming back, the entire Spanda Police Department was in an uproar. Acting Chief North rushed out of his office and gave Rotten a big hug. "Why don't you take a few more days off? There's no need to rush about work. We can handle it."
"I have fully recovered now." Luo Dun said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Director."
"It's the deputy director~~" North corrected quickly.
Rawdon laughed.
In fact, everyone is now clear about this matter. Yada, the chief, has been transferred to the district police station. Who else can take the position of chief if not North? Most people are convinced that North is the chief. After all, people without connections and backgrounds still account for the majority. North has truly achieved results through decades of consistent work, and he should have been promoted to chief long ago.
Of course, they also envied North, because they knew better that North's promotion this time was related to Rotun. Rotun shot the terrorist, and North got the credit and was recognized by Director Shah.
In the end, relationships are what matter most. It's frustrating, but not everyone is as lucky as North.
North quickly pulled Rawdon into his office and closed the door.
"Rotten, Director Shah has already told me about my promotion. It has been confirmed. Thank you so much." North said excitedly.
He didn't tell anyone about this, but he felt there was nothing to hide from Rawdon.
The promotion order will be issued in the next two days. The acting director is still an acting title after all, so of course he wants to be the real director. I heard this from Director Shah, so there is nothing to worry about.
The power difference between the deputy director and the director is too huge, a world of difference.
At that time, Gert was just relying on the fact that he was an old man and had the Inspector General as his backer, which made the newly arrived Yada a little embarrassed.
But it was just a small advantage in the early stages. As time passed, Yada quickly seized the opportunity and established his authority.
Although Rotten contributed to this, in North's opinion, even without Rotten, Gert would have to surrender to Ada in the end.
Unless Gert squeezes Yada out in a very short period of time in the early stage, he will have less and less chance as time goes by.
It's very simple, that's the difference between the chief and the deputy. After all, there are people behind Yada. Even if his relationship with Director Shah is not that close, the identity of the chief is enough to wipe out most of Gert's advantages.
This is an inherent advantage brought by the position, which Gert cannot make up for.
"This is what you deserve, Chief. Why thank me?" Rawdon replied.
"I know exactly what this is about and I'll remember it," North sighed.
He had worked diligently for so many years and thought that deputy inspector was the pinnacle of his life and he would retire with this status in the future.
But now he has such an opportunity, which was brought to him by Rotun. He can see that Director Shah appreciates Rotun very much. Needless to say, this position of director was fought for him by Rotun. A word from Rotun in front of the director is more effective than anything else.
"Director~~"
"There's no need to be so formal in private. I'm older than you, so you can call me big brother or old brother. Of course, I have no objection if you call me old North just like you call me old Bud~~ Um, speaking of Bud, you may not know him? His hand is broken." North said the latter part, and the smile on his face faded.
"What's going on?" asked Rawdon. He hadn't heard of it.
So North told Roton what had happened, and Roton finally understood what was going on.
After going to the hospital to recuperate, Bud was responsible for maintaining law and order and transporting the wounded outside the hotel. A terrorist suddenly threw a grenade from the hotel. He was unable to dodge and one of his hands was blown off.
He is now receiving treatment in a nearby hospital.
Bud didn't let anyone notify Rawdon because Rawdon was also in the hospital at the time and Bud didn't want to disturb him, so Rawdon didn't know about it.
So, Rawdon and North went to the hospital to see Bud.
"Old Bud, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't called you, your hand~~" Rotten looked at Bud's empty left arm and felt a little sorry for Bud.
"Roden, why are you apologizing? Actually, I should thank you. If you hadn't called me, how could I have accomplished this feat?" Bud was open-minded and was not affected by the broken hand at all. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Bud told Rawdon and the other man that Director Shah had sent someone to tell him that he would be promoted to a higher level.
"It's such an honor for such a big shot as Chief Shah to personally send someone to tell me about this." Bud sighed, "Assistant Deputy Inspector, I thought I, old Bud, would retire as a police chief in this life, but I didn't expect that with my last shudder, I would actually overcome this hurdle. This is all thanks to you, Rawdon. What's one arm? Even if I lose both arms, it's worth it."
Roton smiled. It was good to be promoted. It was a compensation for the broken arm.
It was very rare for Pirando to be so considerate of his subordinates. Rotten knew that this had something to do with him. Pirando knew that he had a good relationship with Bud and North.
But not every leader can do this. After all, the status of Bud and Pirando is too different, so he doesn't need to take care of it personally.
This made Rotten more optimistic about Pirando. Such a backer was reliable and would not sell out his subordinates like Yada did when something happened.
After returning to the police station from the hospital, Rotten saw that there was still no one in Gert's office. The door was closed when he came over just now.

"Isn't Deputy Inspector Singh here?" Rawdon asked North.
"Him." North sneered and said, "He has been going to the district bureau frequently recently."
"What?" Luo Dun was stunned for a moment and said, "Looking for the Inspector General? What does he want to do? Eyeing the position of deputy director?"
There was no chance that Gert would become the chief of the Spanda police station.
After North was promoted to director, the position of Deputy Director Spanda became vacant.
Rotten felt that Gert would be tempted, after all, he was the deputy director before, which was his original position.
"How is that possible? The deputy director can forget about it in the near future." North said with a smile.
"How is it impossible?" Rotten frowned.
After all, there is Xishiji behind Gert. Xishiji also has a group of people in the district police station. Gert is his confidant. If he makes an effort, this possibility is not impossible.
"I think that he was just removed from the position of deputy director not long ago. If he is promoted back so soon, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Director Shah?" North explained, "Director Shah has been promoted. I don't think anyone would be so disrespectful to him now."
Luoton thought about it and agreed that this possibility was indeed unlikely.
"So what does he want to do?" Rawdon pondered for a moment and said, "Does he want to go to the district police station? No, transfer to another police station? Well, it's possible, brother, what do you think?"
Rod felt that it was more likely that Gert was transferred out, and he probably wouldn't have much chance in the Spanda Police Station anymore. It would be better for him to leave here and look for opportunities in other police stations.
"Who cares where he goes? In my opinion, you have a great chance of becoming the deputy director." North stared at Roden and said, "If Director Shah hadn't clearly told me that I would be the successor to the director, I would even think that you would be the next director."
"Brother, what's the director and deputy director? That's too exaggerated," said Roton.
"Don't disbelieve it. It is a bit shocking to be promoted three levels at once. But look at the achievements you have made, which are equally earth-shaking. I think it is a good match. Now it seems that the position of director fell on me. It is probably because of my age. You are too young. The higher-ups may think you are too naive, so you lost the position of director. But I think you have a good chance of being the deputy director." North analyzed.
