Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 728 Fulfilling the Promise!

Around 10 a.m., Jia Dongming finished his work, stuffed the letter of introduction that Lin Yuemei had arranged to deliver into his briefcase, and then walked out of the office with the briefcase in hand.

"Director! This report needs your signature." Jia Dongming had just stepped out of his office when he encountered Zhang Guoping, who was walking towards him with a document in his hand. Seeing Jia Dongming about to leave, Zhang Guoping quickly handed the document to him and reported respectfully.

Upon hearing the confession, Jia Dongming reached out and took the report from Zhang Guoping. He glanced at the report, and after seeing the table of contents, he carefully read through the contents. After confirming that everything was correct, he took the pen from Zhang Guoping and signed his name on the report.

After seeing Jia Dongming finish signing, Zhang Guoping quickly took the report from Jia Dongming's hand and said to Jia Dongming, "Director! Section Chief Li and his team have already investigated the situation at the casino. They can take action at any time. When do you think would be a good time for us to make our move?"

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guoping ask about the casino, he immediately realized that the logistics department was probably running out of money. He then jokingly said to Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! Are you in such a hurry to destroy this casino because your logistics department is about to run out of money?"

Hearing Jia Dongming's teasing, Zhang Guoping, thinking of the meager amount of money left in the security department's slush fund, quickly complained to Jia Dongming, "Director! You really don't know how expensive food is. To meet the nutritional needs of our teammates during training, our canteen's food supply has always been implemented according to high standards. The money and quotas allocated to us by the Municipal Bureau are simply not enough to meet the canteen's consumption. Now our account is almost empty. How can I not be anxious?"

Hearing Zhang Guoping's complaints, Jia Dongming showed an indifferent expression and said with a smile, "Alright, Lao Zhang! Stop complaining to me. You and Comrade Jianjun can discuss and handle the matter of raiding the casino. I won't interfere in this matter."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, the resentment on Zhang Guoping's face vanished instantly, and he quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Director! I understand. I'll go find Old Li later and discuss this matter with him."

After parting ways with Zhang Guoping, Jia Dongming quickly walked out of the security office building and then drove his jeep towards the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Captain! You've arrived!" The jeep quickly drove into the city bureau compound. Jia Dongming parked the jeep and was about to go to the finance department when Wang Bin's shout suddenly came from behind him.

Hearing the shouts behind him, Jia Dongming instinctively turned around and saw Wang Bin and Chen Ze pushing bicycles. He then smiled and asked them, "Wang Bin! Chen Ze! Where are you two headed?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Wang Bin immediately smiled and reported to Jia Dongming, "Captain! The chief captain wants us to go to the Fengtai branch and retrieve the case file of Shen Zhongqing."

Upon hearing Wang Bin's report, Jia Dongming recalled the phone call Zhang Zhitao had given him that morning and asked Wang Bin curiously, "Wang Bin! Wasn't Shen Zhongqing's case already transferred to the disciplinary department? Why is the chief still asking you to retrieve the case file from the Fengtai branch?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Wang Bin subconsciously shook his head and replied respectfully, "Captain! We're not entirely clear on the specifics, but I suspect it's related to Shen Zhongqing's parents."

When Jia Dongming heard Wang Bin mention Shen Zhongqing's parents, he immediately understood the reason and said to Wang Bin and Chen Ze with a smile, "Wang Bin! Chen Ze! Then you two go ahead and get busy."

After collecting his salary and bonus from the Municipal Bureau's Finance Department, Jia Dongming went to the Logistics Department to collect the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits distributed by the Municipal Bureau. Only then did he drive his jeep towards Xie Jianchang's home. Soon, Jia Dongming arrived near Xie Jianchang's house. He parked the jeep, picked up his briefcase, and went into the courtyard where Xie Jianchang's house was located.

Jia Dongming arrived at Xie Jianchang's door and called out, "Xie Jianchang! Is Xie Jianchang home?"

While eating, Xie's mother heard a familiar voice calling from the yard. She immediately put down her chopsticks and called out, "Who is it? Jianchang went out to do odd jobs and didn't come back for lunch. Is there something you need?"

Having said that, Xie's mother lifted the curtain and came out of the house. When she saw Jia Dongming standing at the door, she immediately recognized him and asked him somewhat nervously, "Officer! What do you need Jianchang for?"

Upon hearing Xie's mother's question and seeing her slightly apprehensive expression, Jia Dongming quickly took out a letter of introduction from his briefcase and said with a smile, "Aunt Xie! Here's the situation: a couple of days ago, I promised Xie Jianchang that if the clues he provided were valuable, I would help him find a temporary job at the factory. This is a letter of introduction from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. When Xie Jianchang returns, please remember to give him this letter so he can go to the steel rolling mill to complete his onboarding procedures after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xie Jianchang had mentioned Jia Dongming's promise to find him a job to Xie Jianchang to his mother, but she was skeptical. To her surprise, only two days later, Jia Dongming delivered a letter of introduction to their home.

When Xie's mother saw the envelope that Jia Dongming took out of his briefcase, she was visibly stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she excitedly reached out her hands to take the letter of introduction from Jia Dongming. Her voice was choked with emotion as she thanked him, saying, "Father-in-law, Comrade, thank you so much!"

Hearing Xie's mother's gratitude and sensing her excitement, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Auntie Xie! Through my interaction with Xie Jianchang that day, I know that Xie Jianchang is a very honest person. If he hadn't been forced by circumstances, he wouldn't have gone to the black market to find work."

"When Xie Jianchang comes back, please tell him to work hard at the steel rolling mill, learn the craft diligently from his master, and strive to become a full-time employee as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Xie's mother nodded quickly and asked him gratefully, "Officer! How much does this job quota cost? I'll go get the money for you right now."

Upon hearing Xie's mother's question, Jia Dongming immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "Aunt Xie! This is a reward for Xie Jianchang's assistance in handling the case. I don't need the money. I have things to do at work, so I'll take my leave now."

"Officer! It's lunchtime now. Why don't you have a meal at my place before you leave?" Xie's mother quickly urged Jia Dongming to stay when she saw him about to leave.

Hearing Xie's mother's offer to stay, Jia Dongming smiled and thanked her, saying, "Auntie Xie! Thank you. My workplace cafeteria has already reserved food for me, so I'll be going now."

Upon hearing Xie's mother's gratitude and seeing that she was about to see him out, Jia Dongming quickly instructed her, "Aunt Xie! Please keep this letter of introduction safe. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, remember to have Xie Jianchang go to the steel rolling mill to complete his onboarding procedures."
