The case was originally handled by the bureau, which took up a lot of police resources. In the end, they arrested the suspect and achieved results, but Cao Jianjun took the credit first. It's understandable that they felt uncomfortable under such circumstances.

Wang Shouyi could only laugh it off, saying, "Not at all! If anything happens, we'll have to rely on our brothers in the criminal investigation team."

Captain Luo said, "You're too kind, Director Wang."

Pointing outside, he said, "I'm telling the truth. Look how lively and glorious it is! Everyone is paying attention, praising us, and the masses are supporting us!"

Wang Shouyi said, "Captain Luo, you're being sarcastic. Although Jianjun is trying to take credit, wasn't it us who first discovered and found the evidence in Yue Wei's case? In terms of influence and severity, it's much bigger than Bao Daquan's case."

"Li Suo didn't try to take credit from you, but instead gave you a lot of credit. The special task force is now set up in your criminal investigation team, and I heard that the case has been basically solved."

Captain Luo smiled and said, "So, you can take the credit for this case, I didn't mind. But, Director Wang, rest assured, Director Li is also a member of our task force, and his contributions are obvious to all. We have already submitted the report requesting commendation, and we will definitely not let Li's contributions be buried."

They chatted for a couple more minutes before parting ways.

Watching Captain Luo walk away, Wang Shouyi stood there for a while, sighed, and lowered his head to go upstairs. Looking down from the second-floor platform, he saw Cao Jianjun giving a speech to the camera. The crowd, like heroes, surrounded him, and Cao Jianjun reveled in his moment of glory, chatting and laughing amidst the throng.

Wang Shouyi looked at him and sighed softly.

Ye Wei appeared behind Wang Shouyi at some point and said, "Chief, don't be influenced by Captain Luo. No matter what, Jianjun has indeed made a contribution this time, and we should report his merits."

Wang Shouyi said with a worried look, "Do you think I didn't know he had made a contribution? Do you think it's a good thing for him to make a contribution? He dreams of making a contribution to prove himself in front of his wife and mother-in-law. Heaven knows what will happen if he really gets this contribution this time."

Ye Wei comforted him, saying, "Maybe by doing this good deed and proving yourself to your wife and mother-in-law, this knot in your heart will be untied, and you'll be fine in the future."

Wang Shouyi said, "It's not that simple. Do you really think he's just trying to prove himself to others? That's just on the surface. He's just someone who likes to show off!"

Ye Wei hesitated, "No matter what it is, he's made such a great contribution; it wouldn't be right not to reward him, would it?"

Wang Shouyi said defiantly, "I have my reasons for not reporting it for him. I already said I would follow the bureau's unified arrangements, but what did he do? He went to the woman's house on his own, clearly afraid that someone else would steal the credit. His motives were not pure, so it's fine if I don't report it for him."

Ye Wei couldn't stand it anymore: "Chief, that's a bit unfair to him. In our station, Chen Xincheng used to be the model policeman. But after that incident, Old Chen lost his spirit and became depressed for a while. Then Cao Jianjun was the best performer, you could say he was the best among his age group."

"Others in similar circumstances would probably have received several second-class merits, but he only has one third-class merit. Chief, while he has shortcomings, he should still be criticized and praised as appropriate!"

Wang Shouyi sighed repeatedly, "I didn't even know how to praise him. This guy gets cocky and causes trouble as soon as he gets a little credit. I'm worried about him too! Fine, you go and draft a report to commend him. I'll still have to approve it!"

Ye Wei nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

……

As soon as he arrived at work in the afternoon, Cao Jianjun walked briskly toward the director's office, where colleagues he encountered along the way offered their congratulations.

Upon arriving at the office door, Cao Jianjun tidied his appearance and shouted, "Report!"

Wang Shouyi asked him to sit in the chair opposite him and then personally poured him tea.

Cao Jianjun was a little flattered and quickly stood up: "Chief, I can do it myself."

Wang Shouyi pressed him down and said, "Sit down, Jianjun. You've done a great job this time. Are you waiting for me to praise you?"

Cao Jianjun humbly replied, "No... I also have shortcomings."

Wang Shouyi's expression suddenly hardened. "Fine, Jianjun, let me ask you. That night, I clearly instructed that patrols should only be conducted in key areas to prevent any unforeseen incidents. Why did you end up staking out the woman's house?"

Cao Jianjun was taken aback and said, "Chief, I just suddenly thought of this lead. I also know her home, and I'm afraid of missing the opportunity."

"Moreover, I also reported it to Li, and he even assigned two auxiliary police officers to us."

Wang Shouyi snorted coldly: "I know about this. Didn't you say you were going to take Yang Shu to sweep the streets and patrol around?"

"Officer Li knew your personality and was afraid that you might do something dangerous with Yang Shu in a moment of impulsiveness, so he assigned two auxiliary police officers to you. Did you say you were going to ambush Bao Daquan's house? You didn't say that, and you took people there on your own."

Cao Jianjun stammered, unable to speak. He admitted that he had indeed taken the men there without permission. As for why he hadn't reported it openly?

First, he was afraid of others stealing the credit. For example, if the director assigned someone else to lead the arrest, he wouldn't get any credit.

Secondly, they feared that the station chief's tendency to compromise would come into play, that he was afraid of trouble and taking credit for others' work. They felt that the bureau had mobilized so many people and that the case was being handled by the bureau, so they didn't want to take the credit and instead gave the task of making the arrest to the bureau.

Judging from the director's current reaction, his worries were not unfounded.

Wang Shouyi snorted: "If you ask me, you're afraid of jeopardizing your achievements, aren't you? Afraid that your comrades will steal your credit?"

Cao Jianjun, embarrassed that his thoughts had been exposed, said, "Chief, no matter what, I caught the criminal and brought honor to our station. Our performance evaluation score this month will definitely go up."

Wang Shouyi said earnestly, "Jianjun, there's something I've been telling you repeatedly. You're a good policeman, whether others acknowledge it or not! Some people look down on others, and if you lower yourself to their level, you'll only be disgracing yourself."

Cao Jianjun said, "Director, I know, I don't look down on myself."

Wang Shouyi sighed: "Go ahead. The institute has already reported your merit."

A few days later, after the morning meeting, Wang Shouyi suddenly announced, "Comrades! I have some good news to announce. First, because of solving the Bao Daquan and Yue Wei cases, our institute's satisfaction rating for the fourth quarter has increased by twenty points!"

Everyone cheered.

Wang Shouyi continued, "For this, the bureau commended our Balihe Police Station. At the same time, Comrades Li Muzhen and Cao Jianjun were awarded second-class merits, and the official award orders will be issued soon. Let's all give them a round of applause."

This was big news. Two people from the station had been awarded second-class merits at once, which was a first in the history of the Balihe Police Station. Everyone looked at Li Mu and Cao Jianjun and began to applaud enthusiastically. Some even shouted that they should treat them to a meal.

Li Mu smiled and said a few words casually.

Cao Jianjun was overjoyed and readily agreed, "It's my treat, it's my treat. So, what do you want to eat?"

Upon hearing Cao Jianjun's words, Wang Shouyi immediately stopped laughing, glared at him, and said, "What kind of invitation is this? It's just a second-class merit! Jianjun, you know your personality. I'm warning you, don't cause any trouble."

Cao Jianjun was clearly displeased and nodded perfunctorily.

Wang Shouyi had just returned to his office after the meeting.

Ye Wei followed closely behind: "Chief, the bureau is starting the selection for the top ten police officers. Who should we nominate? Li Mu or Cao Jianjun?"

Wang Shouyi said, "They've already received second-class merit awards, so let's choose someone else for the top ten police officers."

Ye Wei said in surprise, "Chief, this won't do. The selection process for this award is very strict and the competition is fierce. You really can't do it without some kind of honor. Our station has never produced a top ten outstanding people's police officer before. If we don't take advantage of the momentum of the second-class merit award to promote someone, who knows when the next one will be?"

Wang Shouyi took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go with Li Mu. At least he's steady, unlike Cao Jianjun, who's always causing trouble."

Ye Wei said, "Okay."

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Shouyi said again, "Hey, instructor, you're in charge of ideological work. I'm not worried about Li Mu. The key is Cao Jianjun. Remind everyone to take Cao Jianjun's second-class merit award in stride. No one is allowed to say anything flattering to him, and no one is allowed to egg him on to treat everyone to a meal. Lest he get too cocky!"

Ye Wei asked, puzzled, "Director, aren't you overthinking this?"

Wang Shouyi sighed: "It's better to think more than to think less."

On the other side, Cao Jianjun, full of pride and self-satisfaction, returned home with his second-class merit medal. Zhou Hui exclaimed in surprise, took the medal from his hand, and said, "Jianjun, I don't have to work tomorrow, let's go to Grandma's house now."

Cao Jianjun was secretly pleased, but pretended to be indifferent and said, "Why bother? I'm not doing this for them."

Zhou Hui said, "It's to show them! I get angry just thinking about my mother's face. What does my brother-in-law have? Just a few stinking bucks. Even when he goes to prostitutes and plays around with women, you're the one who gets scolded. Let's see what Mom says this time. Jianjun, put on your new police uniform, wear your medals, pick up Yaya, and we'll leave."

The family of three arrived at Zhou Hui's parents' home. As soon as the door opened, Zhou Hui and Cao Jianjun led the child in, carrying large and small bags. The father-in-law and mother-in-law were both there, as was Sun Youguang.

Surprisingly, this time the mother-in-law became very enthusiastic: "Oh my, Jianjun is back!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Hui suddenly said, "Jianjun, it's not cold at home, why are you still wearing your coat? Take it off quickly."

As she spoke, she personally helped Cao Jianjun take off his overcoat. Without the overcoat, his police uniform was naturally revealed, making him look neat and energetic. More importantly, he was wearing a second-class merit medal on his chest.

The mother-in-law exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, what is this?"

Zhou Hui said proudly, "Mom, Jianjun earned a second-class merit. This is a second-class merit medal."

The mother-in-law praised, "Youguang, what did I say? Don't think that just because you earn a lot of money, you're as glorious as Jianjun. My two sons-in-law are so good; one is rich, and the other is famous. They have everything they could want."

Zhou Hui suddenly felt something was off. Her mother was being unusually polite today, and she suddenly regretted coming over to show off.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law continued, "Jianjun! When your brother-in-law went into business, your father and I discussed it. We have someone in our family who does business, and even if Jianjun wanted to go and make money, we wouldn't let him. There are people who can help with money and people who can enforce the law, so if something happens in the family, there are people who can lend a hand, right, Jianjun?"

Cao Jianjun was a little flattered and repeatedly said, "Yes, Mom is right."

Zhou Hui, however, was wary: "Mom, is something wrong?"

The mother-in-law said, "Youguang, you talk to Jianjun about it."

Sun Youguang had no choice but to speak up: "Sigh, it's really not a big deal. My company did business with a company in another city and owes them some money, so they sued me. It's not a lot of money, only a little over three million. I'm just having some cash flow problems right now, so I didn't pay any attention to it."

"Who knew that the other party would apply for enforcement? But I'm a bit short on funds right now, and I don't have much money in my account. The court seized my car and property and put me on the list of dishonest persons. Can you believe what I'm doing?!"

Zhou Hui listened with wide eyes: "Brother-in-law, you bought a membership card for Lanting Yashe, which cost 120 million yuan each, and you can't even pay back the 300 million yuan you owed them?"

Her mother-in-law glared at her: "Huihui, what are you saying?"

Zhou Hui pouted: "What does this have to do with my Jianjun?"

Sun Youguang said, "This 300 million is a small amount, but being a defaulter is too much trouble. You can't take a plane when you go out, your reputation is ruined, and even your sister and nephew are affected."

“Jianjun is a policeman, so he must be familiar with the court. Could you give him a heads-up and tell him I’ll expedite the process and get my name removed from that list?”

The mother-in-law chimed in, "That's right, Jianjun. Your brother-in-law didn't think of you at first. He's in business and knows a lot of people. I told him that for such a small matter, there's no need to ask anyone else, just ask Jianjun. It's also a way to give Jianjun a chance to help out for the family."

Cao Jianjun hesitated and said, "Mom, this list of defaulters is a matter for the court, it has nothing to do with us."

The mother-in-law said, "Your brother-in-law knows it's a court matter. Aren't the public security, procuratorate, and court all in the same boat? Why don't you just give them a heads-up?"

Cao Jianjun took a deep breath and explained helplessly, "Mom, that's all a misunderstanding by the public. The public security, procuratorate, and court are not one entity; they supervise and check each other."

The mother-in-law's face darkened: "You mean you're not going to help with this?"

Cao Jianjun had no words to express his grievances: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to help my brother-in-law, it's just that I really can't. We're not in the same unit as the court, so they don't listen to me."

My mother-in-law said, "What have you ever contributed to our family? You're always busy, making Huihui suffer so much. Now that things are coming to this, you can't even do this little thing. What else can you do?"

Cao Jianjun lowered his head and said, "Mom, I really..."

Zhou Hui suddenly jumped up: "Mom, what do you mean? Do you want Jianjun to break the law or something? Didn't you look down on him? Why are you thinking about him now?"

“Jianjun is just an ordinary policeman. Even if he did have the ability, I wouldn’t let him do such illegal and disorderly things!”
