"Okay, I'll go to the mountains later and see if I can find anything."

There were also two wild donkeys, half a wild boar, a sika deer, a roe deer, and a pheasant in the space.

Apart from wild boar, the meat from the other animals was of very good quality and tasted good, so Chang Kun didn't want to bring them out.

He never expected that, as a railway police officer, there would be a shortage of meat when distributing National Day benefits.

"Sigh, Chang Kun, you don't know how hard it is to find meat on the market these days. The city's purchasing bureau is a hot commodity. As long as it's food, everyone who goes there has to beg and plead for it."

"If you can get some meat, I won't go to the purchasing bureau and put up with this nonsense."

Chang Kun nodded in agreement. Zhang Qingfeng, as the section chief, was quite a good leader for being willing to lower himself to ask the purchasing bureau for things so that his subordinates could benefit.

"Haha, alright then, you don't need to go to work these few days. Whether you manage to get anything or not, consider it an official business trip."

Zhang Qingfeng laughed heartily. He had heard his old comrade-in-arms Fang Qingsheng say how amazing Chang Kun was at hunting, and he wanted to see for himself.

His requirements weren't high; he'd be perfectly content if Chang Kun could hunt as well as he catches thieves.

Chang Kun was speechless. He had only been working for two days, and he was already on holiday again?

These days, all sorts of supplies are scarce. If you can actually get your hands on meat, you're considered a top performer in your workplace. Nobody cares whether you're at work or not.

"Alright, go ahead then. Remember the hunting trip and get on with it."

Just as he stepped out of the office, he bumped into Xiao Wang, the policewoman who had brought him his uniform and pistol yesterday.

"Chang Kun".

She called out to him and circled around Chang Kun, her eyes full of curiosity.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wang?" Chang Kun looked himself up and down, but didn't find anything wrong. His pants weren't ripped either. He looked at Xiao Wang with a puzzled expression.

"What are you calling me, Xiao Wang? I'm older than you, you should call me Sister Wang!" Xiao Wang wrinkled her nose and glared at Chang Kun.

"I heard you caught nine thieves yesterday?"

When she heard the news, Chang Kun, Lei Guohong, and Hou Jun had already gone to the platform again, but they couldn't find anyone.

As the news spread among his colleagues, the details of Chang Kun catching the thief yesterday had become completely distorted.

People in the office say that Chang Kun's eyes can spot evil, and that there is a murderous aura in his eyes. He only needs to glare at those thieves, and they will fall to the ground and weep bitterly.

After hearing what Xiao Wang had to say, Chang Kun was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

For a government agency like the Railway Public Security Bureau to spread such outrageous rumors, it seems people these days have no entertainment and rely entirely on gossip for amusement.

"What exactly happened? Those thieves are all skilled in martial arts, how did you manage to take down so many of them at once?"

Xiao Wang followed Chang Kun to his office, chattering on and on, determined to get to the bottom of things.

"Yeah, junior brother, you didn't tell me yesterday what happened?" Hou Jun also surrounded Chang Kun when he saw him return. Yesterday, he was only shocked by the capture of nine thieves. Thinking back, taking down several thieves at once is not something an ordinary person can do.

Lei Guohong put down his teacup and looked at Chang Kun. He was also very curious, but he didn't ask out of respect for his master and the old policeman.

"It's nothing, I just sprinkled some chili powder in their eyes and noses." Facing the attack from both sides by Monkey King and Little Wang, Chang Kun told the truth: all you need to do is check the thieves' nostrils to find out.

"Huh? This..."

"That simple?"

Hou Jun and Xiao Wang thought for a moment and nodded. No wonder the thieves were crying and wailing; their eyes and noses were burning from the spiciness.

Only Lei Guohong looked regretful: "It's a waste to use such good chili powder to catch thieves. We can add some to our steamed buns and make them more palatable."

Chang Kun chuckled. His capsaicin wasn't ordinary chili powder; its spiciness was unbearable for most people.

At this moment, Lei Guohong noticed the watch in Chang Kun's hand: "What kind of watch are you holding? It looks nice."

Hou Jun and Xiao Wang then noticed it, and Xiao Wang's eyes lit up: "This watch is so beautiful, it's sparkly."

"This is from the section chief, as a reward for catching nine thieves yesterday." Seeing Xiao Wang's curious expression, Chang Kun handed it over for her to examine closely.

"Wow! Junior brother, you've only been working one day and you've already gotten such a nice watch!" Hou Jun exclaimed, hooking his arm around Chang Kun's neck, feeling incredibly envious.

If it weren't for the current shortage of supplies and the lack of food and clothing for everyone, he would have liked to have Chang Kun treat him to a meal.

Yesterday, in the same waiting room, how come he didn't notice those thieves? It would be good if he could catch one or two; maybe the department could give him a reward.

Watching Hou Jun and Xiao Wang scramble to play with the watch, Lei Guohong took a sip of tea. He had been a retired policeman for many years and had never received such a good reward from the department.

His apprentice Chang Kun is really something!

Xiao Wang played with the watch for a while, reluctant to return it to Chang Kun, and asked, "Chang Kun... um, do you need this watch? Otherwise, how about you sell it to me?"

"Sell?" Chang Kun shook his head. He wasn't short of money and wouldn't sell the watch.

Besides, this watch was a reward I gave myself on my first day of work, so it still has some meaning.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, you wish! This watch costs at least seventy or eighty yuan, which is equivalent to two months' salary for you, not even counting the rarest watch ticket."

Hou Jun and Chang Kun put their arms around each other's shoulders, Hou Jun kept regretting that if he had caught the thief, the watch reward would have been his.

Lei Guohong shook his head. Hou Jun's apprentice was thinking too simply. Did he really think that everyone who made a contribution would receive such a good reward?

In the workplace, being good at doing things is not as important as being good at interpersonal relationships, and being good at interpersonal relationships is not as important as having connections above you.

I didn't see the section chief and Chang Kun acting familiar yesterday, which clearly indicates that their relationship is not ordinary.

If Chang Kun catches nine thieves, Section Chief can go with the flow and distribute the watches as rewards.

Returning the watch to Chang Kun, Xiao Wang still seemed reluctant to part with it: "Chang Kun, is this watch for your girlfriend?"

Speaking of this, Hou Jun thought of his cousin, Chang Kun. There are too few capable people like him, but unfortunately he already has a partner.

"My mother doesn't even have a watch yet..." Chang Kun was also thinking that if he gave the watch to Cheng Min, would her family think the bride price was too high?

When two families get along, there should always be a reasonable balance. I've heard too many stories of people being grateful for each other's kindness but resentful of each other's dissatisfaction.

"Tsk! As expected of my junior brother, he thought of me first when he got such a good watch. For that alone, I admire you!"

Hou Jun put his arm around Chang Kun's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

If Chang Kun's skill in catching thieves impressed him, the fact that he thought of his mother first when rewarding him with a watch made him even more respectful.

Xiao Wang and Lei Guohong nodded repeatedly, their faces full of admiration.

"Come on, junior brother, let's go to the platform and catch a few more thieves. If we get another watch, we can give it to our girlfriend."

Hou Jun pulled Chang Kun and walked outside.

"Uh, Monkey King, I'm not going to work today. The section chief gave me a day off..."

Originally, Chang Kun only wanted to say goodbye to Lei Guohong and Hou Jun before leaving get off work when he returned to the office.

Xiao Wang, Lei Guohong, Hou Jun: ...

They've only been working for two days, and they're already giving us a day off?

Are you the section chief's biological son?!
