Chapter 617 - 561: Breaking Through the Ceiling
"These past few days, I’ve been working overtime until 10 or 11 at night. Us police officers, we don’t mind working overtime, but overtime should be worthwhile, right? Not just working overtime for the sake of it. Even the cattle back in the village are only worked this hard during the planting season."
"For a day or two, it’s all trivial tasks, nothing pressing. When a mall holds an event, they even dispatch us to be there. To the uninitiated, we might as well be there to tear the place down. Is this how police resources should be used?"
"Moreover, no tasks are assigned during work hours; they wait until it’s time to knock off to assign work. Now, they don’t even go through Director Huang. He just created a WeChat group and allocates tasks directly. You don’t work overtime? Fine, but it counts as leave, and they dock your pay by the day. Everyone relies on their paycheck to live; who can bear this!"
Wu Junhao grew more and more irate as he spoke, grabbing a skewer, wolfing down two in one bite, then guzzled half a bottle of beer with grunts and gulps.
"Don’t get too upset," Jiang Yuan offered, pouring him more beer.
He was a little embarrassed. Chai Tong’s actual target, ostensibly Huang Qiangmin, was actually after Jiang Yuan. To be more precise, Chai Tong wanted the tax collection rights that Jiang Yuan had.
It was Jiang Yuan’s leave of absence that had led to Wu Junhao becoming Chai Tong’s new target.
However, the problem wasn’t caused by Jiang Yuan. Above him was Huang Qiangmin, who was in charge of resource allocation; it wasn’t Jiang Yuan’s place to stand in the line of fire.
Mu Zhiyang picked out two raw skewers, hung them over the grill, and after fanning the flames, said, "Your concern is understandable, Captain Wu. They are the directors after all, and lately, we really have had no choice but to grit our teeth and get on with the tasks we’re given."
"I know, Huang Da... erm, Director Huang also mentioned to me, they’re just trying to provoke me," Wu Junhao sighed. "Eventually, they’ll have their way with me, manipulating me as they please. But it feels like they’re already doing it now."
