Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 956 Adjusting Welfare Benefits!

Jia Dongming went to the Personnel Department of the Municipal Bureau to complete the onboarding procedures, and then easily made his way to the headquarters, to the office that originally belonged to him.

Not long after Jia Dongming entered his office, the director of the brigade's office strode in, then took a car key from his pocket and said respectfully to Jia Dongming, "Brigade Commander! I've come specifically to deliver your car key. Also, would you like the brigade to arrange a driver for you to pick you up and drop you off at get off work?"

Jia Dongming, who was packing his things, heard the office director's words and saw the car keys on the other party's desk. He smiled and thanked him, "Old Wang! Thank you for bringing me the keys. I can drive myself to and from get off work from now on. There's no need to arrange a driver for now."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's gratitude, Director Wang immediately replied respectfully, "Captain! Our office is specifically for serving leaders. Also, please give me the labor protection supplies requisition form, and I will arrange for someone to go to the logistics warehouse to retrieve the labor protection supplies for you."

Upon hearing Director Wang's words, Jia Dongming replied with a smile, "Old Wang! I can collect the labor protection supplies myself after I finish tidying up the office. However, there is something I need to arrange for your office to take care of."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Director Wang immediately asked him curiously, "Captain! Please give us any instructions you may have. Our office guarantees to complete the task."

Upon hearing Director Wang's promise and recalling his own plans, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Director Wang, "Old Wang! Although I've known you guys for quite some time, I was only temporarily assigned to a position at the brigade headquarters before; I never actually came here to work."

"Today is my first day officially on the job, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to meet with my colleagues and discuss our future work arrangements. Please help me notify the heads of all branches and detachments, as well as the heads of all departments of the brigade, to have a meeting in the conference room at 3:00 PM."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Director Wang immediately nodded and replied respectfully, "Chief! As soon as I return to my office, I will arrange for someone to notify the chiefs of each branch bureau, the criminal investigation detachment, and the heads of each department of the General Bureau to attend the meeting in the conference room at 3 PM sharp."

Hearing Director Wang's reply, Jia Dongming nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Old Wang! Then you go and implement this work first. Oh, and when you go back, remember to inform Old Xie from the logistics department and have him come to my office."

A few minutes later, Director Xie from the Logistics Department of the General Corps walked into Jia Dongming's office from outside, holding a notebook in his hand. He greeted Jia Dongming respectfully and said, "General Corps Commander! I heard from Lao Wang that you wanted to see me?"

Upon hearing Lao Xie's question and seeing his respectful expression, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Lao Xie, "Lao Xie! I called you here mainly to ask you how much money we have in our brigade's accounts."

Xie Zhixian, as the head of the logistics department of the brigade, had long heard about the excellent benefits of the security department at the steel rolling mill. However, when he learned that Jia Dongming was looking for him, he vaguely guessed the purpose of Jia Dongming's summons. Upon hearing Jia Dongming's inquiry, Xie Zhixian immediately reported respectfully to Jia Dongming: "Brigade Commander! Currently, our brigade's account has 23,793 yuan remaining. After deducting necessary expenses, we have a total of 9,320 yuan available for use."

After listening to Xie Zhixian's report, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment before asking Xie Zhixian, "Old Xie! What are the main types of the necessary expenses you just mentioned?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Xie Zhixian immediately opened his notebook and respectfully reported, "Chief! These funds mainly cover the accommodation, meals, travel expenses, and travel allowances incurred by comrades when they go out to report cases. This is the largest portion. After deducting the expenses already paid, there is a total of 9,600 yuan remaining. The remainder covers some office expenses and hospitality costs. As for the 9,320 yuan that can be used, that belongs to our chief's slush fund."

After listening to Xie Zhixian's report, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment before asking Xie Zhixian, "Old Xie! If I remember correctly, the travel allowance for our brigade is 50 cents a day, right?"

"Commander-in-Chief! Our team's travel allowance is 30 cents per day within the Beijing city area, and 50 cents per day outside the Beijing city area." Xie Zhixian, seeing that Jia Dongming had asked about the travel allowance, gave Jia Dongming a detailed report on the specific allowance standards, even though he didn't understand why Jia Dongming cared about this matter.

After learning the specific subsidy standards, Jia Dongming immediately instructed Xie Zhixian: "Old Xie! The difficulty of our criminal investigation work is much greater than that of other departments. You should be well aware of the hardships involved. Therefore, I have decided that in the future, when comrades go out to handle cases, they will receive a subsidy of 50 cents per day within the jurisdiction of Beijing and one yuan per day when handling cases in other places. In addition, the logistics department can slightly increase the food standard based on the current price level."

Upon learning of Jia Dongming's plan, Xie Zhixian immediately thought of the remaining money in the financial accounts and hurriedly reminded Jia Dongming, "Chief! If we follow the subsidy standards you set, we'll probably have to use money from the slush fund?"

Upon hearing Xie Zhixian's reminder, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Xie Zhixian, "Old Xie! If you don't spend that money, it won't produce any results just sitting there. Money only becomes money when it's spent; otherwise, it's just a set of numbers."

"So, in addition to increasing the travel allowances for our comrades, I plan to use all the money in the slush fund wisely and add a case-solving performance bonus. As long as the comrades in charge of the case can successfully solve the case they are handling within the stipulated time, they can receive a cash bonus based on the size of the case. As for the specific amount of the bonus, I will discuss it with the deputy chiefs and then make a decision."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, and recalling Jia Dongming's actions in the steel rolling mill's security department, Xie Zhixian immediately nodded respectfully and said to Jia Dongming with admiration, "Commander-in-Chief! If the comrades knew this news, they would definitely be very happy. On behalf of all the comrades in the team, I thank you for your concern!"
