Chapter 2566: Chapter 2345: Fooling the Japanese (Part 2)

Immersed in sadness, Chen Xinghai was stunned for a long time after hearing what Qiao Yutong said, and looked at Qiao Yutong with disbelief.

Song Jiaren was also surprised, her mouth agape after hearing what Qiao Yutong said. She pondered over what Song Xiaodong had said before, maybe after Chen Xinghai met Song Xiaodong, he would really rise to the top, directly being promoted from an out-of-quota intern policeman to a police station director? Such an opportunity is as rare as stepping on ten piles of dog poop while walking out the door.

Although Song Xiaodong had already heard Qiao Yutong mention the idea of promoting Chen Xinghai before, the idea of promoting him from an out-of-quota grassroots policeman directly to a police station director was something Song Xiaodong hadn’t thought of. Whether he could handle it was a separate matter, but procedurally, leapfrog promotion is a major taboo.

After hearing what Qiao Yutong said, Shi Dangkai also opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his emotions were very complicated, with envy and jealousy mixed with some displeasure. Just because of a courageous act that resulted in being stabbed, he became a police station director, on par with Shi Dangkai. Shi Dangkai found it a bit hard to accept for a moment.

Chapter 2346: You Want Him to Be the Police Station Director?

Meanwhile, Song Shuyun, who was waiting to hear what Qiao Yutong had to say so she could mock her, was so shocked upon hearing it that she was frozen. After pondering for a while, she couldn’t help but ask Qiao Yutong, "You want him to be the police station director?"

"Yes, to commend his brave actions. Besides, Stone Town is his hometown, and he has a better understanding of the local conditions and social security. Work will proceed more smoothly and less difficult, and the police station’s personnel structure is small, so managing it won’t be too taxing." Qiao Yutong said to Song Shuyun.

After hearing what Qiao Yutong said, Song Shuyun was somewhat unhappy. She sat back in her chair and said, "Can being a police station director earn more than being a real estate company owner? Lu Shilong promised to buy my son a house. Even if you become a director, you’re just a poor director. Going to such a remote place to be a director means you’ll be stuck in that small mountain valley for a lifetime. What’s the great future in that?"

Hearing what Song Shuyun said, Qiao Yutong deliberately said to Chen Xinghai, "After becoming a director, there’s welfare-based housing distribution. Of course, the house is not given directly to you, but you get discounts on housing funds and transaction prices when buying, which can relieve your housing pressure."

Qiao Yutong glanced at Song Shuyun again and continued, "And if you really do well, you can apply for a level transfer in the future, with the chance to be transferred back to the center of Minghe City. By then, you’d be on par with Director Shi."

"Hahahaha," Shi Dangkai’s mom fake-laughed, responding to Qiao Yutong’s words.

After hearing what Qiao Yutong said, Song Shuyun didn’t feel good at heart.

Indeed, Song Shuyun was blinded by money. But she wasn’t a fool; someone like Lu Shilong is fickle. Even if Yuan Yuan followed him, she wouldn’t be happy. But regardless, at least he’s rich, and life would be better than with Chen Xinghai.

But now things have changed. Just like Song Xiaodong said, Chen Xinghai suddenly became a police director. Although he’s still a poor guy now, if he really becomes a police director, who knows how things might develop in the future?

However, Yuan Yuan has already broken up with Chen Xinghai. Once the water is spilled, it can’t be reclaimed, and there’s no cure for regret in this world.

"For someone like him, even if you make him the police director, he’d just be an honest official. From head to toe, he exudes an air of poverty. You officials—I know what you’re like—only making that little dead salary. Look at him—there’s certainly no gray income at all. On a dead salary, how can he manage? With a paralyzed father who needs constant medication and a sister studying for university while working, all expenses rely on him alone. Even if you make him a director, he’d still be poor as ever." Song Shuyun said.

"Your father is paralyzed?" Song Xiaodong asked Chen Xinghai.

"Yes, he’s been partially paralyzed from a stroke for over ten years." Chen Xinghai said, head down.

"Where is he?" Song Xiaodong asked again.

"He’s in Minghe now." Chen Xinghai answered.

"In Minghe?" Song Xiaodong was a bit puzzled.

"When I was seeking treatment here, my sister wasn’t home, and my mother had to take care of me. There was no one to look after my father at home, so my mother brought him here to take care of both of us." As Chen Xinghai spoke, his eyes started to get misty.

"Listen, I know you’re a poor child. You’re kind-hearted, diligent, and earnest, but your family’s condition is something we cannot accept. Your family burden is too heavy, like a mountain. I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart, but I’m sorry, you and our Yuanyuan are just not suitable—you’re from two different worlds." Seeing Chen Xinghai’s expression, Song Shuyun sighed.

"Bring your father here," Song Xiaodong said to Chen Xinghai.

"Why?" Chen Xinghai looked at Song Xiaodong, puzzled.

"Xiao Chen, you may not know, but this Mr. Song is one of the top doctors in Minghe City. Bring your father here so Mr. Song can examine him." Shi Dangkai said.
