Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 928 A blessing in disguise!

"Huai Ru! Not only has Bang Geng's transfer to the Municipal Bureau been finalized, but our Dongming is also going to be transferred to the Municipal Bureau, and he'll be in charge of the Criminal Investigation Division." Upon hearing Qin Huai Ru's words, Jia Zhangshi immediately told Qin Huai Ru that Jia Dongming was also going to be transferred to the Municipal Bureau before Jia Dongming could answer.

Before Jia Dongming returned from his military service, Qin Huairu was just a rural woman who worked in a steel mill, tightening screws every day to support her family. Later, after Jia Dongming transferred her to work in the logistics warehouse office, she gained a general understanding of the officialdom through her daily interactions with almost all of the cadres' family members.

In particular, in recent years, Jia Dongming has been unwilling to transfer to other departments in order to avoid trouble, which has caused his rank to stagnate. Because of this, Qin Huairu's colleagues have brought up this issue in front of her more than once. Some colleagues even said in private that Jia Dongming may have offended someone, which is why his rank has not been promoted.

Now, when Qin Huairu heard from Jia Zhangshi that Jia Dongming was going to be transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and specifically to take charge of the Criminal Investigation Division, she was overjoyed. Excitedly, she asked Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Is it true? Are you really going to be transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to take charge of the Criminal Investigation Division?"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's question and seeing her delighted expression, Jia Dongming smiled and nodded, replying slowly, "Huairu! Due to health reasons, Chief Hong of the Criminal Investigation Corps can no longer work on the front lines. Therefore, after a meeting at the Municipal Bureau, it was decided that I would go to the Municipal Bureau to preside over the work of the Criminal Investigation Corps."

"Criminal Investigation Department! That's a provincial-level unit!" Upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer and confirming that he was indeed being transferred to the Municipal Bureau, Qin Huairu excitedly muttered to herself for a few moments before quickly asking Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Does this mean your rank will be promoted one level because of this transfer?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's words and sensing the excitement in her voice, Jia Dongming smiled and nodded, replying, "Huairu! You should know that I'm not very interested in being an official, otherwise I would have been promoted years ago. If it weren't for Chief Captain Hong's illness and the bureau's leadership issuing a death order, I would still want to stay in the security department."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Qin Huairu knew that he wasn't in Versailles. Thinking of the husbands of those older women in the office who were desperately trying to climb the ranks, Qin Huairu said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Dongming! I really don't know what to say to you."

"Husbands of our office's Sister Wang, Sister Hui, and Sister Yun went to great lengths to get promoted. On the other hand, you've had several opportunities for promotion over the years, but you've given them up time and time again. Now you've finally figured it out? I really don't know what you're thinking."

Hearing Qin Huairu's complaints, Jia Dongming thought about why she was unwilling to leave the security department and said to her with a smile, "Huairu! Every cloud has a silver lining! Do you know what that means? You know how bad the situation was a few years ago. If I had agreed to be transferred to the municipal bureau for promotion back then, could I have really gotten through those years peacefully?"

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming's question, she thought of the situation a few years ago and couldn't help but think of the experience of Sister Guo's family in their office. At this moment, Qin Huairu finally understood why Jia Dongming had the opportunity to be promoted but chose not to be promoted and stayed in the steel rolling mill.

Having figured out the reason, Qin Huairu replied with a smile, "Brother Dongming! You're about to be promoted, which is something to celebrate. Tonight I'll cook a couple more dishes so our family can celebrate together."

When Lin Qiuyue returned home from get off work, she saw Jia Dongming tidying up in the study and asked him curiously, "Brother Dongming! What are you busy with in the study? Do you need my help?" Jia Dongming, who was tidying up, turned his head towards the study door when he heard Lin Qiuyue's question. When he saw Lin Qiuyue carrying a bag and walking into the study from outside, he smiled and replied, "Wife! I'll be done tidying up soon, you don't need to help."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Lin Qiuyue glanced at the books he was tidying up and smiled, replying, "Okay! I'll go to the kitchen first and see if Huairu needs any help."

Lin Qiuyue entered the main room, where Xiao Dang was setting out chopsticks. Upon seeing Lin Qiuyue return from get off work, she immediately greeted her with a smile, "Auntie! You're back from get off work?"

Hearing Xiao Dang's words, Lin Qiuyue smiled and asked, "Xiao Dang! Where are Xiao Ming and Xiao Qing? I haven't seen them."

When Xiao Dang heard Lin Qiuyue's question, he replied with a smile, "Auntie! Huaihua is watching TV with her younger siblings in my brother's room."

Upon hearing Xiao Dang's reply, Lin Qiuyue first put her bag into the bedroom, then turned and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the several dishes laid out to the side, she asked Qin Huairu with a look of surprise, "Huairu! What's so special about today? Why are you cooking so many dishes?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question, Qin Huairu, thinking of Jia Dongming's upcoming promotion, happily introduced to Lin Qiuyue, "Qiuyue! Our Brother Dongming is about to be promoted, so I'm cooking a few more dishes to celebrate with him."

"What! Huai Ru! What did you say? Dong Ming is going to be promoted? Who told you that?" Lin Qiuyue's face lit up with surprise when she heard the news from Qin Huai Ru, and she quickly asked Qin Huai Ru to confirm the news.

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question, Qin Huairu, thinking of Jia Dongming's impending promotion, happily introduced to Lin Qiuyue, "Qiuyue! Brother Dongming is being transferred from the security department of the steel rolling mill to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Corps to take charge of the work."

When Lin Qiuyue heard the news from Qin Huairu that Jia Dongming was going to be transferred from the Security Department to the Municipal Bureau, a happy smile also appeared on her face. She murmured to herself, "I was just wondering where Brother Dongming got so many books. It turns out he brought back the books from his office."

Hearing Lin Qiuyue's mutterings, Qin Huairu smiled and said to Lin Qiuyue, "Qiuyue! With Dongming's qualifications, he could have been promoted long ago, but he was worried about getting caught up in the storm, so he chose to stay in the security department. Now that Dongming has finally chosen to leave the security department and work in the municipal bureau, our family must have a good celebration tonight."
