Chapter 91: Replenishing the Body

Gosa didn't expect that someone would come to collect debts as soon as the director arrived. What was going on?

And this guy even remembered the amount to the nearest few rupees. How could this old bastard remember it so clearly? I had screwed up this time.

"Director, I have accounts and account books." The boss ignored Gesa and took out small notebooks from his pocket, one, two...

He took out five books in total and placed them on Rawdon's desk.

Luoton opened a book expressionlessly.

"Look, Chief, here are all the signatures of people from the police station. Look, this is the most recent one." The boss took out the latest small notebook, opened a page and pointed at the signatures on it, "This is the 20 rupees signed by Captain Bansal on December 3, and this is the 5 rupees signed by Chief Munda on December 10."

"It's the deputy director." Huba's face also turned ugly.

Normally, it would be fine if he called me the director, but now the director is sitting here, what would he think if he called me that in front of him? Of course, these accounts have been turned out, and he is a little embarrassed.

In the past, everyone was used to drinking tea and keeping accounts. When the boss came to ask for money, he would procrastinate in various ways. There was really no other way, so we just paid part of it to get rid of it.

After so many years, they owe so much, and many of them were owed before they came here.

It has been so long that they don’t know exactly how much money they owe.

"Give as much as you owe," Rawdon said solemnly, "Send the finance guy over here."

"Chief, there is no money in the bureau." Huba said.

"No money?" Roton immediately remembered that this was a rural police station and it was unlikely that there would be much money.

"How much is in the account?" Rawdon asked again.

"No." Gosa said hastily, "Not even a rupee. We had several thousand rupees, but since you were coming, all the money was used to tidy up your place and buy some daily necessities."

Luoton opened his mouth wide. No way? Looking at his boss staring at him eagerly, Luoton felt depressed. What was going on?

He knew that the police station in the countryside was in a bad condition. For example, the building was shabby. That was fine. But there was no money in the account. Wouldn't the police station's funding be gone? Rawdon took out all the money from his pocket, 500 rupees, and handed it to the boss, saying, "Take these first. Please give me some time for the rest."

"Chief, this is your own money, you can't do that." Huba and the other two shouted hurriedly.

Luo Dun glared at them, then asked the boss: "Do you think this is okay?"

Of course, his money could not be used to pay back. Although he had Itas's 100,000 rupees, he had to distinguish between public and private matters.

The advance payment of 500 rupees is just to get rid of the boss first. As for the rest, I will have to wait until I get funds from the higher-level police station.

And it is impossible to pay it off all at once. Roton knows very well that even if he goes there himself, the funding from above is limited. It is basically just to maintain the daily operations of the police station, and it is difficult to have any surplus for other purposes. This is the real situation of grassroots police stations.

Of course, Roton still has to see the boss's attitude. If he agrees so easily, it means that this guy is here to collect his debt. If he refuses to give up, then there will be a problem.

For example, some local guys secretly instructed it, or maybe some people in the police station wanted to give the new chief a warning?

"Okay, okay, thank you, Director." The boss expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

He heard that the new director had arrived, so he came over to mention some debts.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope. After all, he was very clear about the situation at the police station and really couldn't afford to pay much money.

But he has a hard time since he owes so much.

Unexpectedly, the new director gave him 500 rupees. Of course he was happy, as it was better to have something than nothing.

"Are you not leaving yet?" Gosa chased the boss out.

"Wait, why is my cup of tea so expensive?" Rotten stopped the boss who was about to leave.

"Director, your status is different, so the tea has a special formula from my store. I added several precious medicinal materials. Don't worry, it's good for your health. Previous directors all said it was good after drinking it, and I guarantee you will say it's good too." The boss said with a smile.

When the boss said this, Huba and others' cheeks trembled and their expressions were a little strange.

But none of them said anything.

"You old thing, you're looking for trouble as soon as the new director takes office. Are you looking for death?" After leaving Roton's office, Gosa cursed his boss as he walked.

The boss didn't seem to be afraid, but said with a bitter face: "My Captain Bansel, you are really talking without any pain in your waist. If you continue to owe money like this, my small tea shop will go bankrupt."

"Okay, stop crying to me. Also, don't give the director your special formulas anymore. The director is so young and young. Do you think you are one of the directors before?" Gosa said.

"What's the problem? Drinking it can also strengthen your body. And I think the new director is not short of money, I believe he will not sell on credit, why not sell it at a high price?" The boss said, "Captain Bansel, do you want to come to my tea shop and sit down? I will make you a cup of tea to nourish your body?"

"Get lost. I'm still strong." Gosa said angrily. "Don't do this again. At least you have to tell me. You're such an old bastard. Get lost now. Don't let me see you again in the next few days. I'll beat you up every time I see you."

After saying that, Gosa kicked the boss.

The boss tried to dodge but failed to completely avoid it. However, he was not angry. He patted the place where he was touched, laughed and left.

The tea shop owner was very familiar with the people at the police station. Although he was owed a lot of money, even if he didn't get the money, he still earned a little bit of hard work fee.

After all, the police station is a stable and big customer.

"Director, don't just say there is no money in the account. Everyone's salary in the bureau has been in arrears." In the office, Huba introduced some financial problems in the bureau to Luoton.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"How much do you owe?" Roton frowned. This was a big problem.

However, Roton was sure that the tea shop owner was not someone who was deliberately trying to deceive him, otherwise he would not have been able to get rid of him with just 500 rupees.

"In the past three months, almost everyone has only received half of their salary," Huba said. "I went to the sub-district police station to find the finance department there, and they promised me everything, but I didn't see any money."

Luoton understood that since there had been no director for the past three months, Huba, the deputy director, had obviously been neglected and his superiors did not take him seriously at all.

This also shows that Deputy Director Huba really has no power and no one above him.

The reason why he was able to become the deputy director is that there are many Dalit communities here, and also because the government wanted to put on a good show and create the impression that low-caste untouchables could also become deputy inspectors and deputy directors.

"Pah~~"

The office immediately became dim, and the lights that were originally on went out.

"The light bulb is broken?" Rawdon was stunned.

The office is very dim and we have to turn on the lights during the day. There is no other way because it is an old building and the lighting is poor.

However, Luo Dun heard a commotion outside. Could it be that the lights outside were also broken? "There is a power outage, Chief." Huba said with a wry smile.

"There's a power outage. How long will it take to be fixed?" asked Rawdon.

Roton was certainly aware of the unstable power shortage in India.

Even in Mumbai, power outages are common.

"Chief, our police station has lost power." Huba could only bite the bullet and explain, "Our police station hasn't paid the electricity bill for half a year..."

Luoton was dumbfounded. The tea shop owner still owed a lot of money, even the electricity bill.

"Go ahead, tell me everything you owe." Roton took a deep breath and said.

"We still owe a lot of money for gasoline. Now they don't buy on credit. Three motorcycles in the bureau are out of gas." Huba said, "Director, you brought these motorcycles and everyone was excited, but when the gas runs out, there's no money to buy gas."

Rawdon was silent.

Harreg's condition was much worse than he had expected.

If the water here wasn't tap water, Rawdon would have dared to say that given the police station's financial situation, the water would have to be cut off.
