Reborn as a Police Officer in India

Chapter 2 Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared
"Good morning, old Bud." Rotten called out to a man in his fifties.

Bud Dalka, he's a sheriff and he's a few years away from retirement.

If Rawdon had no ambition and continued working like this, the best he could do was work until the sheriff retired, and maybe not even that.

Bud is a good guy in the police station and has rich experience in solving cases, so the chief and other senior officials are willing to hand over some difficult matters to him. To the police officers below, Bud will not put on airs as a sheriff.

Of course, Bud still looked at Rotten differently.

That's because he knew that Luo Dun was studying hard, for example, he attended the open university and obtained a degree, and also wanted to take the national exam.

In Bud's opinion, Rotten is an ambitious young man, which is very rare.

You have to know that these police officers in the police station are basically content with the status quo. To put it bluntly, they are just muddling through their days and have never thought about moving up.

So Bud usually takes good care of Rotten, and the relationship between the two is naturally good.

"What are they talking about?" Roton saw many police officers talking and laughing in groups.

"They're just trying to find all sorts of ways to secretly show off how many gifts they've given the director," Bud said disdainfully. "These guys aren't focused on doing their jobs, they're just trying to get promoted through crooked means. Oh, right, kid, you should also prepare for this promotion. Even though your chances aren't great, the director still thinks highly of you, so I think there's still a chance. You should also show some appreciation for the director."

"Old Bud, you just said they were doing evil things?" Roton was speechless.

He couldn't give it to her now because his pockets were empty and he had no money.

In addition to making achievements, Luoton felt that he had to find a way to make some money. Without money, many things could not be done.

Not to mention getting things done, he doesn't want to stay in the slums anymore. He can only move out of the slums if he has money.

"There's nothing we can do. This is the current climate. Even if the director thinks highly of you, you can't just sit there and do nothing. Look, the competition is fierce." Bud sighed, "If I hadn't been so stubborn when I was younger, if I had spent more time with the leaders, I might have been promoted to a higher rank."

From police chief to assistant deputy inspector, it is a huge chasm.

Because assistant deputy inspector is the lowest management level in the police station, and his status is completely different from that of a police officer. After all, the chief inspector is still at the police officer level.

"But don't be discouraged, Rawdon. Even if you can't get promoted this time, I believe you'll be able to pass the exam. Then..." Bud's eyes lit up as he said, "You'll be at the level of inspector by then, and maybe even director in the future. It would be such an honor for me, Bud, to have a director friend."

"Chief!" Suddenly, a police officer shouted.

Roton quickly turned his head to look towards the gate, only to see Spanda Police Chief Yada Agarwal coming out.

"Chief, are you here so early today?" The police officers including Rawdon saluted hurriedly, then whispered to Bud.

"Yeah, it's quite unexpected, isn't it?" Bud smiled and said, "It must be something big."

Rotten shook his head slightly in agreement.

India shook her head in agreement and nodded in disagreement.

Of course, there are many ways to shake your head, and the specific way depends on the occasion and the amplitude of the shake, but shaking your head basically means agreement.

Roton thought quickly that Chief Yada coming to work early was a sign of something important, but after searching his memory, he found that nothing major had happened in the Spanda Police Station's jurisdiction today or in the next few days.

"Is Singh here?" asked Yada.

"Chief, the deputy chief hasn't arrived yet." A sheriff replied immediately.

Not to mention Deputy Director Geet Singh, none of the other inspectors arrived at nine o'clock. As leaders, they have to arrive on time.

Yada shook his head slightly, then looked at Luoton and said, "Luoton, I need you to translate, come with me."

"Yes, Chief!" Rotten responded immediately.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd, Rotun caught up with Ada who turned and walked out.

For these police officers, it is indeed enviable that Luoton can speak English, especially since the chief often asks Luoton to handle some English-related matters. It can be said that he is always in front of the leader.

Unfortunately, not everyone is qualified because they don’t speak English.

Although everyone knows the importance of English and is envious and jealous of it, no one is willing to spend time learning it.

In the end, these people are just unmotivated and just muddle through. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Luoton sat in the passenger seat, and the driver was also a second-level police officer.

Although Yada is a director, he is not qualified to own his own official car because his rank is not high enough. This is the police car and is only used when on missions.

After getting in the car, Rotten didn't say a word, but just secretly looked at Yada sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Roton noticed that Ada looked a little excited, but also a little worried, which was a bit contradictory.

The car started up, and the driver had obviously been told the destination, but Rawdon didn't know it.

Ten minutes later, Yada finally spoke: "Rotten, we're going to meet the Finance Minister, Mr. Rajiti Nair, later. You have to translate the English carefully, without any mistakes..."

"Yes, Director!"

Roton probably understood something in his mind. The Rajiti Nair mentioned by Yada was the Finance Minister of Maharashtra, who was in charge of the state's purse strings and was definitely a heavyweight figure.

Logically, such a big shot would never look for a grassroots police chief like Yada.

Is it like if the Director of China's Finance Department has something to do, would he directly go to the director of a grassroots police station?

Basically, they all went to see the director of the municipal bureau or the director of the department.

So this matter seems a bit weird.

No wonder Ada looked a little conflicted just now.

Being summoned by such a big boss is generally a good thing, as the big boss must need something, but this good thing can easily turn into a bad thing.

For example, if you can’t satisfy the boss, that would be a bad thing.

Rotten was thinking about Rajiti Nair, a guy he knew.

After all, he is a big shot in Mabang, and there was also news about this guy when Rodon was in Mumbai in his previous life.

It should have been two years later that this guy was caught. He was investigated for accepting a large amount of bribes and was eventually sentenced to three years.

This is relatively rare. In India, these powerful people are rarely sentenced.

Of course, these are power struggles between political parties, and it is these struggles that can put opponents in jail.

Regardless of whether this guy will be brought down in the future, he is definitely a powerful boss now.

Luoton felt a little sad in his heart. In his previous life, he had no chance to meet such a big boss.

I didn't expect that as a second-level police officer, I would have this opportunity now. It's really unpredictable.

The car passed through numerous security checks and drove into an upscale residential area.

Rotun and his companions came to Ragiti's residence. This was a private meeting and it was impossible for them to appear in the office.

Director Yada seemed very restrained here. There was no way around it because the status gap was too big.

Rotun felt much better and didn't feel too burdened. He just followed Ada and translated when the time came.

Big guys like Rajiti basically disdain to talk to people in other languages ​​and just speak English directly.

If Hindi or Marathi, the local language of Maharashtra, is really used, it is usually for political propaganda and to get close to the people and win votes.

Of course, Yada knew that since Rajiti had summoned him, there would be translators here, and some of his subordinates might even communicate with him directly without using English, but he still brought Rotun with him just in case.

Just now at the police station, Yada asked whether Deputy Chief Gert Singh had arrived. In fact, Roton knew very well that Yada was just asking casually. If Singh really wanted to come, he would not bring Singh with him.

No matter what, being summoned by the boss is a good thing after all. How can such a good thing be shared with others?
