Chapter 86 Promotion!
Upon hearing Guo Xin's words...
Combined with what I overheard about the argument between the two sides when I walked over, I can see that...
Tu Yuan had already made a general judgment in his mind.
Tu Yuan looked at the woman opposite him.
She was dressed far too conspicuously.
When the woman saw Tu Yuan looking at her, she actually gave him a flirtatious wink.
Tu Yuan frowned slightly and looked away.
She looked at the other three men.
All three men were wearing black short-sleeved shirts, and two of them had tattoos on their arms.
Especially the burly man standing in front.
The right arm ends at the wrist, where the original skin color is no longer visible; it's all covered in bluish-black tattoo designs.
None of them looked like decent people.
Tu Yuan patted Guo Xin on the shoulder and said, "Xinzi, I'll handle this!"
"Say less!"
After saying that, Tu Yuan reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette.
Then he pulled out three cigarettes, smiled politely, and said, "Calm down, everyone, have a smoke!"
"Let's talk this out!"
"My brother may have had some unpleasantness with a few people. We're all just out for dinner, hoping for a good time, so there's no need to take things too seriously!"
When faced with such conflicts, Tu Yuan has always disliked saying unpleasant things that might escalate the situation when both parties are emotionally charged.
At this point, it's more important to calm everyone down.
Give the other party a way out, turn a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing.
If the other party is sensible and knows to back down gracefully, then the matter can be dropped.
If you give someone face and they still persist in making trouble, then you can't blame him for trying to be polite first and then resorting to force.
But Tu Yuan's smiling face and kind words...
The man leading the group seemed to have calmed down considerably.
However, he did not accept the cigarette offered by Tu Yuan.
Instead, he glanced at Tu Yuan and said, "We can talk this out!"
"But we can't just leave it at that!"
"His gaze was so lewd just now, it scared my girlfriend. If you want to settle this, that's fine too, but it'll cost you 1,000 Federal Credits, and I'll pretend this never happened!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
Guo Xin's fiery temper immediately flared up.
"You fucking bastard! You pervert your mother's ass!"
"I... "
""
Guo Xin immediately became impulsive and wanted to take action.
Tu Yuan reached out and pressed him back down.
Seeing that Tu Yuan was blocking him, Guo Xin didn't rush forward anymore, but just glared at him with hatred.
In his view, this was no different from extortion.
Tu Yuan stopped Guo Xin.
The smile on his face had disappeared.
"Friend, I don't remember any federal law that says looking at someone else's girlfriend is illegal or constitutes indecent assault!"
'
"You want a thousand federal dollars? That's extortion."
Tu Yuan spoke slowly, but his tone was calm.
Hearing Tu Yuan's tone, Guo Xin, who had grown up with Tu Yuan, knew that Tu Yuan was truly angry.
As Tu Yuan spoke, he took back the cigarette he had offered and put it back into the cigarette case.
The man leading the group heard Tu Yuan's words.
His expression turned fierce again.
"What? Are you trying to pressure me with federal law?!"
"Why don't you ask around the area and find out who I, He Senguang, am?"
"In this territory, my word is law!"
"So I'm trying to scam you, is that it? Hurry up! One thousand federal dollars! Pay up!"
After he finished speaking, the two men behind him flanked Tu Yuan and Guo Xin from both sides.
They subtly surrounded the two, giving the impression that they were about to fight at the slightest provocation.
Tu Yuan remained calm.
He himself doesn't like to resolve things with force.
But some people, unless the fist is in their face, don't understand that you need to reason with people when things happen.
However, the name He Senguang seemed somewhat familiar to him.
It sounds familiar.
Soon, Tu Yuan recalled it.
He Senguang was a notorious troublemaker in the Shengyun No. 3 Middle School area.
He has committed numerous acts of violence, beatings, and threats against others.
However, the reason he hasn't been arrested is that He Senjie, a member of the security team, is He Senguang's older brother.
When Tu Yuan first joined the company, He Chengjun called him out on duty for the first time.
He explained some of the ins and outs of the area under his jurisdiction.
He Chengjun explained who had powerful backers and who shouldn't be messed with.
Of course, He Chengjun did not act out of kindness at the time.
I'm just worried that the young people who have just joined the company might be a bit naive and get themselves involved.
He Chengjun had said that several streets in this area belonged to He Senguang.
He Senguang also relied on his older brother being the captain of the security team to act arrogantly and domineeringly in this area.
He especially charges rent for the stalls in a nearby farmers' market.
It's called rent, but it's actually protection money.
If we don't pay this rent, they'll spend all day bringing people to other people's stalls to cause trouble and pick fights.
It makes it impossible for people to operate normally.
However, the alarm function is not very effective.
Firstly, He Senguang has He Senjie backing him up, and secondly, even if he were arrested, he would at most be detained for three days and fined a few hundred yuan.
Therefore, the vendors at the farmers' market, in order to avoid trouble...
They still obediently paid the rent to He Senguang.
Thinking of this, Tu Yuan looked at He Senguang and asked, "Your brother is He Senjie, the captain of the security team at Zhenghe Police Station?!"
He Senguang was now ready to make his move.
But as soon as Tu Yuan announced his brother's workplace, job title, and name, he was immediately surprised.
He was immediately taken aback.
He then raised his hand, signaling the other two not to make any rash moves.
"You know my brother?!"
Tu Yuan did not answer He Senguang.
Instead, he took out his phone and immediately called He Senjie.
Because of his position as assistant to the director, he inevitably had several encounters with He Senjie.
Although everyone's attitude wasn't exactly enthusiastic when we met, they were still polite on the surface.
There are, of course, ways to contact them.
The call was connected quickly.
On the other end of the phone, He Senjie's laughter came through: "Assistant Tu, why are you calling me at this hour? Is there something the director needs to arrange?"
Tu Yuan stared at He Senguang, his voice calm: "Captain He! This isn't official business; it's a personal matter!"
"That's how it is..."
'
Tu Yuan recounted the whole story to He Senjie.
After listening to the conversation, He Senjie on the other end of the phone exclaimed loudly, "This is utter nonsense!"
"Assistant Tu, my younger brother is being irresponsible. I apologize to you and your friend on his behalf!"
"Give him the phone, I'll talk to him!"
He Senjie is not stupid.
Recently, the prevailing opinion within the institute has clearly shifted in favor of Director Zhang, to the point that he could even be said to have an absolute advantage.
After being brought back by the Municipal Bureau's Supervision Office, Deputy Director Shen Xin kept an extremely low profile.
He hardly gets involved in the affairs of the institute.
Even the patrol team and the finance office under his own jurisdiction are neglected. Gao Danyang, the acting captain of the patrol team, and Zhou Shucheng, the director of the finance office, bypass Shen Xin, the deputy director in charge, when they encounter problems.
Instead, they went directly to the director, Zhang Tao.
His own boss, Sun Guangrong, has also been under Zhang Tao's thumb these past two days.
At the institute's meetings, none of the things Sun Guangrong proposed were approved.
Tu Yuan himself is nothing to him, but Tu Yuan's status as Zhang Tao's assistant is a different story.
If Tu Yuan were to exaggerate the matter and stir things up further in Zhang Tao's ear...
Zhang Tao might use this incident to reposition himself.
He Senjie didn't think Sun Guangrong could protect him.
Tu Yuan then handed his phone to He Senguang, saying, "Your brother wants to talk to you!"
He Senguang kept his eyes fixed on Tu Yuan and did not take the phone immediately.
Judging from Tu Yuan's attire, he didn't think he was a wealthy or powerful person.
Moreover, Tu Yuan looks very young.
He didn't quite believe that Tu Yuan would get his brother to give the other party face.
However, when he saw the note displayed on the phone call screen, his eyelids twitched slightly.
Captain He of the security team.
He glanced at Tu Yuan again before taking the phone.
He held the phone to his ear: "Brother?!"
He had barely finished speaking when He Senjie's furious roar came from the other end of the phone: "He Senguang, are you out of your mind? Looking for trouble?!"
"Apologize to them right now and get back here!"
"Don't you think I'm troublesome enough?! Huh?!"
He Senjie's angry voice startled He Senguang.
He never expected his brother to be so angry.
It was obvious that the other party's identity was not as simple as he thought.
"Brother! I understand! I'll apologize to this guy right away!"
After saying this, He Senguang quickly looked at Tu Yuan with a smile on his face, a smile that seemed somewhat humble.
"Brother! I'm so sorry!"
"I've really let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple! I'm so sorry!"
"You're a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against me."
After saying that, He Senguang looked at Guo Xin and said, "Dude! I apologize to you too!"
"To be honest, it wasn't my intention to cause trouble for you today; I was just doing it on someone else's behalf."
"You know Zhuo Xiaowei, right? He's the one who contacted me!"
Guo Xin's expression had changed at this point.
He was already puzzled as to why, out of so many people who had seen that woman, she had specifically approached him.
It turns out someone was secretly sabotaging us.
Tu Yuan then looked at Guo Xin.
Guo Xin understood the meaning behind Tu Yuan's gaze; he was asking if Tu Yuan needed help.
He quickly shook his head at Tu Yuan, saying, "Brother Yuan! No need!"
"This kid is a team leader under my supervision. He likes to shirk his responsibilities and I've given him a severe dressing-down several times."
"It seems he's unhappy with me and wants to get back at me this way."
"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, I can handle this kind of lowlife!"
Guo Xin was also surprised at this moment.
In his view, Tu Yuan should only be a trainee police officer now.
The security team captain that Tu Yuan just mentioned looks like a low-level leader.
It was obvious that the burly man who was picking a fight with him had this powerful backer, which was why he dared to be so arrogant.
But when Tu Yuan made a phone call, the other party obediently apologized.
He had no idea what Tu Yuan had that made a security team captain give him such face.
Could it be because of Sister Qing's hairstyle?!
Guo Xin secretly wondered what was going on.
This farce ended under such circumstances, making it seem somewhat anticlimactic.
However, most of the people who come here to eat teppanyaki are people who live nearby.
Everyone knew a little about He Senguang, who was doing very well in this area.
Just now, quite a few people were there to watch the show.
They felt that He Senguang was going to deal with these two young men.
But who would have thought that a single phone call would make He Senguang bow his head and apologize, even with a hint of ingratiation.
The way everyone looked at Tu Yuan changed.
They didn't even dare to look Tu Yuan in the eye.
Even the owner of the teppanyaki restaurant personally served the two of them.
"Brother Yuan! Holy crap! How have you managed to get by?! I remember you've only been working at the police station for less than six months, right?!"
"How come even the captain of your station's security team has to give you face now?! He doesn't seem like a nobody!"
"You've really hit it off, Yuan-ge!"
Guo Xin was very familiar with Tu Yuan, and because of his carefree and easygoing personality, he had a kind of江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) air about him.
Therefore, when chatting with Tu Yuan, she doesn't hold back and says whatever she thinks.
Of course, Guo Xin was extremely happy.
Tu Yuan is his brother, and if Tu Yuan does well, he will also have face.
Tu Yuan was also happy at this moment.
He used to hang out with Guo Xin. Although Guo Xin called him Brother Yuan, he was actually a few months older than Guo Xin.
Secondly, he is a good student and has many ideas. Guo Xin often makes his parents angry at home, and they ask him for help to come up with ideas.
Therefore, Guo Xin has always called him Brother Yuan, which also carries a sense of respect.
However, in terms of material conditions, Guo Xin's family was better off, as both his parents were factory workers.
Guo Xin's father was a minor leader.
Their finances are much better than Tu Yuan's.
When the two of them usually buy food and drinks, Guo Xin usually pays for them.
In front of outsiders, Guo Xin's outgoing and carefree personality makes him more popular.
Many people believe that Tu Yuan was being protected by Guo Xin.
But today, he turned the tables and solved Guo Xin's problem with just one phone call.
This also gave Tu Yuan a strange sense of accomplishment.
This feeling is hard to describe, but that's really how it is.
"Hahaha! You really overestimate me!"
"I just took off my probationary status two days ago and became a full-fledged first-level police officer."
"I'm just using someone else's power to intimidate others. I'm currently the assistant police officer to the chief of the Zhenghe Police Station."
"I usually do the errands that the director needs to run."
"It's because of this identity that the security team leader gave me face. Actually, he wasn't giving me face, he was giving the station chief face."
Upon hearing Tu Yuan's explanation...
Guo Xin then understood.
He was even more shocked after he realized what had happened.
His eyes widened: "You got a permanent position?! Does that mean you've become a martial arts performer now?!"
"My goodness! How long have you been inside? I don't think it's been half a year! People say that to reach the first level of martial arts cultivation, a year and a half is considered fast!"
"Your speed is absolutely unbeatable!"
"No wonder your director chose you as his assistant; he probably saw your amazing talent, Yuan-ge! Hahahaha!"
"So, does that mean I'll have a martial arts brother in just a few years?!"
Tu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.
He didn't mention that he was now a second-stage martial arts performer.
I was afraid that saying it would really scare Guo Xin.
The two of them enjoyed the meal immensely, as if they had returned to their student days.
Everyone chatted about everything under the sun, discussing current affairs and matters of the world.
Tu Yuan hadn't shown this side of himself for a long time.
It's quite refreshing not having to wear a mask when speaking or acting.
After finishing their meal, Tu Yuan parted ways with Guo Xin and returned home.
Then I received a call from Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao on the other end of the phone asked Tu Yuan to come to his house right now.
Tu Yuan agreed at first, and then casually asked why the other party was looking for him.
Zhang Tao was silent for a few seconds before his voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I probably won't be able to stay at the Zhenghe Police Station for more than a few days! They've already made arrangements for where I'll be!"
"I'd like to ask you to come here because there are some things I want to tell you!"
Zhang Tao's tone was somewhat somber; despite being promoted, he didn't sound like he was in a good mood.
Tu Yuan's heart sank at this moment.
Zhang Tao is being transferred?!
