After leaving the duty room, Wang Dabao went straight to his office on the third floor of the office building.
To his surprise, when he opened the door, he saw Section Chief Hu sitting in the small waiting area of his office, looking like he had been waiting for quite some time.
"Oh, Section Chief Hu, I'm so sorry, I chatted with the guard at the gate for a while before I arrived. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
As he spoke, Wang Dabao strode into the office, took out a packet of tea from his pocket, and said, "I happened to visit the old commander a couple of days ago and got some good tea from him. Let's have a taste."
"I just got here too, there's no need to wait so long. We don't need to be so polite with each other."
Section Chief Hu smiled and waved his hand, "By the way, when there are no outsiders, don't call me Section Chief Hu or Section Chief Wang. Just call me Lao Hu, and I'll call you Da Bao."
"become."
Wang Dabao readily agreed, opened the thermos and saw that the water was hot, indicating that someone had come to tidy up the office that morning. While making tea, he glanced at Section Chief Hu casually and said, "By the way, Lao Hu, why are you here so early?"
"Hey, I just came over to chat with you for a bit."
"I'm afraid it's not just a simple chat, is it?!" Wang Dabao chuckled and pushed the teacup towards Section Chief Hu.
Section Chief Hu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at Wang Dabao with a smile: "To be honest, I'm here to give you a gift."
"puff!"
Wang Dabao was lucky he didn't spray a mouthful of hot tea in Section Chief Hu's face. "Old Hu, we can't joke like that. Let's get serious."
Section Chief Hu slowly put down his teacup, took out a stack of receipts from his pocket, picked out the top one separately, and waved it in front of Wang Dabao: "Want the watch receipt?"
"Never mind, you should keep it for yourself."
Wang Dabao glanced at Section Chief Hu's bare wrist and said, "I seized two of them in the army before. My men were envious, so I gave them some."
Wang Dabao was telling the truth; he had indeed seized some before and given them away.
However, he really needs this thing now, simply because it's convenient.
"Why are you looking at my wrist? Do you think I'd be short of this?" Section Chief Hu clicked his tongue, then put the watch receipt back into a stack of receipts and pushed them all in front of Wang Dabao: "They're all yours. Consider it a perk I, your new boss, have arranged for you."
Seeing that Wang Dabao did not reach for it, Section Chief Hu picked up his teacup again: "Don't worry, there are no conditions involved, take it."
That's all?
Wang Dabao's words left Section Chief Hu completely stunned.
Section Chief Hu glanced at the teacup in his hand, then downed it in one gulp, thinking to himself that he truly deserved to be a military officer and combat hero at the young age of twenty-three.
"I'm getting old and will be retiring soon. I've come here to give you a real overview of the situation inside the security department."
Section Chief Hu pondered for a moment before speaking again.
“Jiang Guowu, the captain of the third squadron of the security team, is not very well managed, but that’s a minor problem. The biggest challenge you will face when you take office is Zhao Zhongyi from the public security team.”
"To be honest, I was the one who recommended this person. He had some connections with Deputy Factory Director Li, who was in charge of logistics. He seemed alright at first, but after staying in the position of security team leader for a while, his true nature was revealed, and he became somewhat domineering. However, the deputy captain of the security team, Feng Biao, is one of our own, so we can trust him."
Wang Dabao nodded; he had already learned some of these things during his conversation with Zheng Jun.
What's remarkable is that Section Chief Hu was able to be so frank with me, which suggests that he may have received favors from Deputy Factory Director Li, or perhaps he has something on someone else's hands.
Wang Dabao had no good feelings towards either Factory Director Yang or Deputy Factory Director Li.
If I had to choose a good person from these two, then Deputy Factory Director Li would undoubtedly be a good one. After all, he doesn't just talk the talk; he delivers the gifts and actually gets things done.
The two chatted in the office for a while, and Wang Dabao understood that Section Chief Hu meant he was going to delegate authority, and from now on, all matters, big and small, of the security section would be under Wang Dabao's management.
"Let's go, let's go to a meeting first. Today is your first day at work, you should meet and get to know everyone."
Section Chief Hu got up and led Wang Dabao out of the office building, pointing to a two-story building next door. "You left in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't have time to explain in detail. This two-story building next door is the base of our security section. Your private rest room is on the second floor, and I've already had it prepared."
The two entered the small building, and a conference room was located to the left.
There were about ten people sitting in the meeting room at the moment, including Zheng Jun, the captain of the first squadron of the security team who had talked with Wang Dabao in the duty room earlier.
Upon seeing Section Chief Hu and Wang Dabao enter, Zheng Jun immediately stood up to greet them: "Section Chief Hu, Deputy Section Chief Wang."
The others also stood up, greeted each other, and then all eyes fell on Wang Dabao.
"As you all probably know, I've gathered you all here today to announce something important. After deliberation by our superiors, we have decided to appoint Comrade Wang Dabao as the deputy head of our security department. From now on, everyone should actively cooperate with Head Wang in his work to jointly maintain the safety and stability of the factory area."
After saying that, Section Chief Hu led the applause.
After the applause subsided, Section Chief Hu introduced everyone present to Wang Dabao one by one: the captain and deputy captain of the security team, the deputy captain of the public security team, comrades from the equipment section and the fire protection section, and a man and a woman from the logistics department.
Wang Dabao paid special attention to Jiang Guowu of the third squadron of the security team, who was mentioned by Section Chief Hu, and Feng Biao, the deputy captain of the public security team.
Jiang Guowu was in his forties, tall and thin, with a face longer than Xu Damao's. However, his eye sockets were too narrow, and his small pupils darted around inside. Such people are usually quite clever and can judge the situation, belonging to the category of opportunists.
Feng Biao appeared much more composed among the group. In his early thirties, he looked honest and unassuming, but the shrewd glint in his eyes from time to time told Wang Dabao that Feng Biao was not as simple as he seemed.
Of course, if it were simple, it wouldn't have received support from Section Chief Hu.
However, judging from Section Chief Hu's words, Feng Biao will be Wang Dabao's man from now on.
"Has Zhao Zhongyi not been notified?"
Section Chief Hu frowned and looked at a female colleague from the Security Department's logistics team.
"The notification has been received," the woman replied hastily. "It was already sent out yesterday afternoon."
"Alright, let's not wait for him, let's start."
Section Chief Hu said with a gloomy expression.
"Hey, Section Chief Hu, today is the first time I'm meeting everyone. Let's wait a bit. Maybe Captain Zhao has something urgent to attend to and will be here soon."
Wang Dabao said cheerfully, then turned to look at Feng Biao, "Captain Feng, do you know what Captain Zhao is busy with?"
"this..."
Feng Biao hesitated for a moment, but after a moment of hesitation, he immediately said, "Captain Zhao led a team to raid gambling dens last night, and he should still be resting in the duty room at this time."
"Captain Zhao works so hard to maintain harmony and public order."
Wang Dabao nodded, then added, "How about this, let's all go and visit Captain Zhao together."
