115: Chapter 115: Official Appointment Confirmed!

"Black and white, how could it be fake??"

"Hahahaha!"

Ma Guoqing picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Recently, the Qianzhou City Public Security Bureau has performed brilliantly. Especially in Yucheng County, they've solved consecutive ministry-supervised homicide cases. Even the Standing Committee Member of the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Qianzhou Municipal Committee personally went on stage to present awards. It's truly been eye-catching!"

Director Gao also took a sip of tea: "Are you talking about that Assistant Police Officer, Yang Tian?"

"Yes!"

Ma Guoqing responded, then suddenly asked in surprise a second later: "According to the Ministry of Public Security's regulations for permanent status, isn't it said that an Assistant Police Officer can be granted permanent status after earning a first-class merit? Why is he still an Assistant Police Officer?"

Director Gao explained:

"This kind of thing takes time. Cases in our country where permanent status is granted through meritorious service are extremely rare. The most recent one was the Xijiang hijacker incident, where an Assistant Police Officer fought the hijackers regardless of his own safety, eventually saving the day and ensuring the safety of all passengers on board."

"Afterward, the top leader of the Xijiang Autonomous Region personally signed the application for permanent status before it was granted!"

"So, on this matter, our Provincial Department must be extremely cautious!"

Ma Guoqing nodded with a smile.

He could understand the nuance behind the phrase "extremely cautious." In many matters and situations, they would rather not act at all than risk making a mistake!

He lowered his head and continued flipping through the documents in his hand.

The next second!

A striking name suddenly appeared before him. He immediately picked up the document, pointed at the name, and asked in disbelief: "This case was his doing again??"

"Yes! It's Yang Tian!"

Ma Guoqing suddenly became excited.

"In that case, I'll have to meet this Yang Tian myself."

Placing the document on the table, Ma Guoqing said with a smile: "Director Gao, it's fine for Xijiang Television Station to promote your Provincial Department, but you must arrange for our program team to interview Yang Tian!"

Director Gao responded with a smile: "That's no problem at all!"

"Alright then, we'll immediately arrange for the staff of asking politics in xijiang to head to your Qianzhou Yu City tomorrow—no, this afternoon."

—

After Director Gao returned to the Political Department of the Provincial Department, he immediately called Ye Xin, the Director of the Qianzhou City Public Security Bureau.

Upon receiving the notice, Ye Xin immediately dialed Liao Jiancheng's number.

His first words weren't about the interview, but a question to Liao Jiancheng: "Have you submitted Yang Tian's application for permanent status yet??"

Liao Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh.

Oh my god!

How could I have forgotten such an important thing!

I've really been over-excited lately.

The Lin Xiaomei case, the Jiuliju Case, the 414 case, the 607 case, the STD Transmission Case, and so on, had made the Yucheng County Public Security Bureau the center of attention. During this time, he had already gone to the Municipal Bureau several times to share his experiences, and the Provincial Department had issued a province-wide commendation for the Yucheng County Public Security Bureau.

The spotlight was unparalleled.

Gradually, he had lost himself a bit and neglected his subordinates. Feeling ashamed, he could only respond evasively: "It... it's been submitted, right?"

"What do you mean 'it's been submitted, right'?!"

"I..."

"Hurry up and call to check. Also, tell Fang Yihong to prepare well. This afternoon, the staff from Xijiang Television Station's 'asking politics in xijiang' program team will arrive at the Yucheng Police Station."

Liao Jiancheng asked curiously: "Leader, what are they going to the Yucheng Police Station for?"

"The STD Transmission Case was handled efficiently and quickly by you, earning unanimous praise from the Ministry of Public Security and the Provincial Department! Director Gao of the Political Department went to Xijiang Television Station this morning with the aim of having them promote this matter properly!"

"Then why are they going to the Yucheng Police Station?"

"The 'asking politics in xijiang' program team specifically asked to interview Yang Tian!"

"Shouldn't they interview you first? After all, you've coordinated everything and led us well. Our Yu City only achieved such a great victory under your strong leadership!"

The words were hollow, but he couldn't help but enjoy hearing them. Ye Xin's lips curled slightly: "Stop with the 'yangyang sheishei' (flattery). Make sure Fang Yihong does a good job with the reception. Only when these reporters and staff are well-attended to will they be willing to put in a good word for you!"

"Yes, Leader!"

After Ye Xin hung up, Liao Jiancheng picked up his phone to find Fang Yihong's number. Just as he was about to dial, he thought better of it. No, it would be safer to go there in person.

The County Bureau was less than two kilometers away from the urban Police Station.

As soon as Liao Jiancheng's car drove into the Police Station courtyard, Fang Yihong came down from his office.

The entire station had reached a high level of tacit understanding: whoever saw a leader's car first would call to inform the director.

If the director wasn't at the station and the leader asked, then he must have gone out on a call personally.

"County Magistrate Liao."

Fang Yihong helped open the car door and welcomed him up to the second-floor office.

The first thing Liao Jiancheng did after entering the office was to ask Fang Yihong about Yang Tian's application for permanent status.

"I've already submitted the application!"

Liao Jiancheng asked: "What stage is it at?"

"The County Committee and County Government, as well as the Municipal Committee and Municipal Government, have already stamped and approved it. Now it's just waiting for the Provincial Department's review. Once it passes there and is transferred to the Provincial Committee and Provincial Government for signature, the permanent status will basically be a done deal!"

Liao Jiancheng nodded with great satisfaction. "Since the Municipal Committee and Municipal Government have passed it, I don't think there will be much of a problem with the Provincial Department. Mayor Ye attaches great importance to this matter and wants us to seize the opportunity of the asking politics in xijiang program team's visit to Yu City to raise Yang Tian's profile and expand his influence in the Xijiang public security system, thereby promoting the matter of his permanent status!"

Fang Yihong asked curiously: "asking politics in xijiang is coming to Yu City?"

"Yes! Ma Guoqing, the Director of Xijiang Television Station, specifically asked to interview Yang Tian!"

"For what reason??"

"What else could it be? Wiping out an STD transmission ring in one night directly alerted the Provincial Department. The Provincial Department asked the television station to help promote us, and Director Ma agreed, but on the condition that he gets to interview Yang Tian."

"That's a good thing!" Fang Yihong said excitedly.

"Nonsense! Don't I always think of you guys first for any good thing?"

"You mean thinking of Yang Tian!"

"Nonsense! Without Yang Tian, would I be thinking of you guys?"

"Hehehe..."

Liao Jiancheng walked out of the office, glanced down at the courtyard from the corridor, and asked: "Where's Yang Tian??"

"Gone fishing!"

Fang Yihong said it directly; he had no qualms now. Let alone Yang Tian going fishing, even if Yang Tian went for a foot bath or a massage, County Magistrate Liao wouldn't say a single bad word about him and might even go there personally to pay the bill.

"Going fishing in this heat, won't he get heatstroke?"

Fang Yihong smiled: "He... he should be fine; he's used to it!"

"What do you mean 'he should be fine'? It's 35 degrees today, and the UV intensity is at level one!"

After checking the weather forecast, Liao Jiancheng shouted at Fang Yihong: "Hurry up and find someone to send a parasol to Yang Tian. Also, buy some mung bean soup and sour plum soup for him to cool off. This precious lump of mine is very valuable; don't let him get sunburned!"

Fang Yihong glanced sideways and thought to himself: "Your precious lump?? Shouldn't he be my precious lump??"
